I love our Christmas tree! We bought it from Big W last year for $20 and it is the bushiest fake Christmas tree I have ever seen. All our decorations came from either Big W, Kmart, Target or Myer (on sale). There are also a couple we got as gifts. This year I am hoping to make a few to add to the tree but it depends if I get time. Christmas is fast approaching so I might run out of time before I get a chance.
This year I was super prepared and made sugar cookie dough before going to work in the morning so all we had to do was cut them out and bake them that night. I made Christmas trees and snow flakes and iced them with royal icing. These were super easy to make! I took them to work the next day to share around the office and everyone loved them.
The snowflake cookie cutters I got a few years ago in a Christmas themed apron swap and this is the first time I have used them. The come in a few different sizes but I used the smaller ones so I could get more out of the dough.
I really love Christmas! It is one of my favourite times of the year. December is going to be super busy this year but I really just can't wait for Christmas.
Beautiful!!! I can't wait to get our christmas tree this year... we usually buy them real as nothing sings christmas to me like the smell of pine drifting through the house :) I only have to wait until the tenth, not long now!!!
