Sorry, but I pretty much have nothing on my mind but Christmas at the moment. This is mostly my fault as apart from decorating my house I have done nothing. No presents, no food, nothing. Eeek!
I am one of those people who gets into things like Christmas. I want Christmas mugs, pyjamas, plates. I watch Christmas DVDs and listen to Christmas music. This year I am desperate for one of these Colour Changing Reindeer Mugs
The slightly more tasteful part of me also likes this Emma Bridgewater Christmas Star Mug
When I was a kid I used to get so excited about Christmas Day that some years a cup of hot sweet tea was required to stop my shaking, and I guess I still hang onto a bit of that.
My hunt for Christmas pyjamas has unfortunately come up empty handed this year, I found some lovely ones, but they were in the US and unfortunately they don’t ship internationally.
This is largely irrelevant as once breakfast is over I like to glam up a bit on Christmas Day, even though it’ll just be me and my Husband, in our house, alone, all day! I tend to glam myself up, and then over the day I lose bits that are uncomfortable. Tottering around the kitchen in heels isn’t practical, so I go back to my ballet pumps. Then my sequin halter is a bit tight, so I swap it for a jumper, and before I know it I’m back in leggings and a T Shirt.
This year I am determined to mix a bit of Christmas glam with comfort, even if it means going shopping (oh no!) So I’ve been planning potential comfortable Christmas glamour outfits.
A wrap dress is always good, and nicely adjustable for after Christmas lunch. This one is Jaeger, available from Retro Chick for £29.99. It actually fits me so if no one’s snapped it up by Christmas maybe it’s mine?! Team it with some shiny silver ballet pumps to avoid the teeter factor and I think this is perfect.
Personally I find skirts more comfortable, but if you’re a trousers kind of girl then this gorgeous silk velvet GS byGharani Strok Top is just £9.99. With some wide leg trousers it’s glam but comfy.
Of course, I might just give up glamour as a bad job for Christmas Day and resolve to spend the entire day in my PJs. If could get some really good Christmas ones I just might….
The best I’ve found so far is these from Debenhams, but they are only £5, so glamour or no glamour I might get them anyway…

I’m simply drooling over that gorgeous wrap dress!!!! I love that full skirt, fitted top style.
I cannot get enough Christmas pajamas. When noone is looking, I wear them when it is not even close to Christmas.
I appreciate you for this kind of intriguing article! Furthermore, i possess a web log and i am questioning, where can i download this kind of excellent theme like your own?
