How to create a magical family Christmas tree day box

Our favourite Christmas tradition is ‘Christmas tree day’. Growing up, my parents always used to make a huge fuss of putting up our Christmas tree.

In this post, I’m going to tell you all about how we make Christmas tree day magical in our house and how to make your own magical family Christmas tree day box…
