Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

One of my favourite things about Christmas is getting the tree! I've grown up having a real tree every year & it's a tradition that my dad, sister & I do every year!
We empty the car, lower the seats & set off to a local farm that has hundreds to choose from!

1. Eating Out

For some reason, during the winter I tend to eat out a lot more. I'm not sure if it's because of the cold that I feel the need to comfort eat but I quite like it. There's nothing better than being in a cosy countryside pub on a Sunday afternoon with a roast dinner & crackling open fire!

Gifts For Her

Even though it's slightly easier to buy presents for a girl, I mean there are so many options to explore, this is where the problem starts. Most men (& women) don't know where to start.

Some women will write an exact list of what they want but others just say "surprise me."

Here's some help in finding that something special for a girl :)
