My home: Christmas tree

I hope you had a lovely weekend! Here in Sweden we were in for a treat - SNOW! According to tradition my little family and I went out to a sustainable forest and chopped down our own tree which we celebrated with glögg and hot chocolate (it was minus 5 after all BRRRRR!). Here are a few pictures of our shiny new Christmas tree!

Altogether now 'Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches....!´:) Notice how much our tree is leaning in the photo with my little girls in their PJ's! TIMBER!

What did you get up to this weekend? Did you celebrate the first day of advent or are you not quite there yet with the festive season?!

PPS Don't foget to enter the Christmas GIVE-AWAY! :)

  1. Ohhh Niki, I just love the Christmas tree and the fresh white decoration. This gave me great inspiration for next weekend when I hope we will buy our Christmas tree. We spent first day of advent with decorating and with a nice walk in the winterland.

    Lovely to find your blog and to see these fab pictures of your home. The holiday decor is wonderful and I love the simplicity - very Scandi! :)

    1. Thank you! The tree is fresh from a sustainable forest farm here in Skåne, we went and chopped it down on Saturday (with permission from the land owner!). It's amazing how small they look in the forest and then you bring them home and they look massive! Enjoy the snow ans light too x

  3. Oh wow, this is simply gorgeous. I love it. I think Christmas tree's are meant to lean. We got our tree on the weekend too. The smell of pine each time we enter the house is heaven!

  6. Your tree looks really gorgeous Niki. I'm sure the lean only confirms it as real! Bet it smells beautiful too. And look how gorgeous your bulbs look. They look as though they'll be perfectly timed for Christmas also. Keep warm!

  8. Looks absolutely fantastic! What lovely decorations - I've given up and last year I had bright blue Star War keyrings everywhere in the tree(!) Do you let your little ones decorate another tree aswell with all the things they bring home from pre school - or how do you manage to keep them away from your stylish one?:) Name of sustaianble forest farm - want one too!!
