I’m definitely not one of those people with a picture-perfect, colour-coordinated Christmas tree that looks like it’s just stepped off the front of a magazine. I actually was that person for a couple of years — but only by accident! We’d just moved house right before Christmas and somehow lost our tree in all the boxes.

Christmas is such a lovely time of year – full of warmth, joy, and a bit of sparkle – but it can also be expensive.
