When I was at my illness I used to find this time of year so difficult. Desperately wanting to be involved but not even being able to decorate our tree I was so weak. I bought a full size xmas tree for my bedroom because I spent so long there and barely saw the tree downstairs. 

Now I'm better I still have to rein myself in a bit or I get exhausted! But I remember and cherish every year that I get to do all the things that I couldn't manage and would never manage again. 

So I thought I would share with you my Christmas tree, fully decorated by me! My room is very small but I still manage to squeeze in the full size tree and who cares if I get a few bruises from there being a little less space! 

I have no theme for my tree it's made up of ornaments that all mean something to me and I am terrible for adding to my collection! That said, there is a sort of theme....glitter! I do love a bit of sparkle.

These are a few of my favourites that I'll randomly talk about. So the treble clef is for my love of all things musical and singing (plus it's super sparkly!). Plus it's more relevant than ever now because this year I started to learn music theory and just took my grade 3 exam. 

I have a big love of Disney too so there are a lot of disney ornaments on my tree. Pinnochio is a big part of my childhood and Jiminy Cricket and When you Wish Upon a Star, we're both of huge significance as I grew up and during my wait for transplant. This Jiminy is so gorgeous I love him!

London is another of my favourite things, and is therefore represented on my tree! I have a postbox, and a bus on there but I love this blown glass Big Ben. 

A wonderful addition this year I forgot about until I unwrapped it. Just before new year last year my friend and I went to Paris for a couple of days which was amazing. I bought an Eiffel Tower decoration at the Eiffel Tower and with what's been happening there lately I was so happy to have it hanging on my tree.

Every tree needs a Father Christmas and I can't remember where I got mine but I know I loved him immediately and often gets comments on how cute he is. He is super super sparkly and is made from tin so really traditional as santa should be. He's always at the front of my tree.

If there's an opportunity to get something theatre or stagey in my life I seize it. My mum and I try to make an annual visit to Harrods to see there Christmas department and this year she bought me this beautiful mask. One day I'll have a whole tree (one of about 20) that is just full of theatre decorations!
