Festive Traditions: Challenge YOUrself #13

I'm super thrilled to reveal my very first layout for the Challenge YOUrself Blog Design Team! This months challenge is to scrap about your holiday traditions, and as usual to include yourself in the photo! After racking my brains I came up with this layout
For me it is not officially the Countdown to Christmas until the Coca Cola advert comes on the telly! The first time I saw it this year I was watching Downton Abbey and I'm not ashamed to admit I squealed and had to wake Ian up lol! Another tradition I have is to watch The Muppets Christmas Carol while putting my decorations up, this and Home Alone 2 are my fave Christmas movies! Finally we have to get into the spirit of Christmas and dress up with silly headgear, whether it is reindeer antlers or an elf hat! 

I used some old Kaiser Craft Christmas papers I'd had for ages for the bulk of my layout, along with an old MME paper and the remains of some gorgeous Studio Calico kraft star paper. I then raided my mums Christmas stash for some embellishments. Trust me, she has so much Christmas stash they will not be missed lol! 

What are your holiday traditions? Stop by the Challenge YOUrself blog and show us yours x
