[Our] Place: Christmas Party

I have been wanting to host a Christmas Party for years but with a diverse family to satisfy and a hectic work schedule it has never been the 'right year'.

This year we decided to go out for Christmas lunch and therefore had reduced hosting responsibilities, making it the perfect year to throw a party to celebrate breaking up from work.

Christmas is a great opportunity time to make the house festive. Our usual decorations are Nordic inspired, mostly white with touches of red. You can see [Our] Place; The Festive Version here.

2) Lighting inspiration at House to Home
