This year, I am on a mission to recapture the magic of Christmas. As a child, Christmas felt like pure magic and as I’ve grown up, it’s just not felt the same. I’ve had a few years, while I’ve loved watching my children enjoy the festive season, the just hasn’t felt like it used to.
And this year it occurred to me.
It’s not supposed to.
Christmas as a child felt magical because all the magic was made for you. I felt festive when my Brownie pack did a carol concert, or I was dressed as a the Angel Gabriel delivering my lines in the school nativity (humble brag). I didn’t have to do anything but show up to the various Christmas parties and events and my only job on Christmas Eve was to fall asleep quickly enough for Mr C to come and deliver presents.
But now I am the magic maker. And sometimes I put too much pressure on that, rather than enjoying it. So this year, I’m going to focus on enjoying what I’m doing, rather than chasing the same high that I got when I was 7 and the whole of December felt like a dream (one of the perks of having a December birthday!).
All that to say! The gorgeous people at WeRChristmas sent me this super cute light up reindeer for our front garden and I couldn’t resist putting her up. Yes, it might only be early November but how could I leave her in the box when she is THIS majestic?! (Side note: yes, she is a female reindeer because males lose their antlers in the winter so #girlpower!)
I was a little worried that she’d be hard to put together, but actually it took no time at all (even with 2 small human “helpers” and a curious cat who wanted to get involved) and even came with some little pegs so I can secure her down in the grass. She also has a long ol’ wire so she can be plugged in inside the house but still sit in pride of place on our front lawn.
There’s also loads of gorgeous lights, so even in the pitch black she’s shining bright. I’m obsessed. I feel like she’s a little lonely, however so we might have to get shopping for some more outdoor decorations to keep her company! Luckily WeRChristmas have a huge range of different christmas decorations, from pre-lit trees and ornaments to wreaths, stocking and huge 7ft inflatable Santa, sleigh and reindeer!
Delivery was quick and the quality is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.
