Midnight Mass
A
tradition that used to be common place on Christmas Eve, midnight mass
takes place as a service to honour Jesus’ birth, however this
longstanding tradition has been on the decline of late thanks, in part,
to Britons preference for a few too many drinks and its traditional
midnight starting time. However, with many churches altering the times
of their services to begin earlier, suiting younger families, this
wholesome ritual is beginning to make a comeback.
Ceiling decorations
Simple
but effective, ceiling decorations are the perfect addition to any home
and we’re so glad they’re on back in fashion. Opt for pastel colours
for a more subtle touch to your home without looking too garish.
Christmas balls, wreaths and snowflakes make perfect shapes to hang from
your ceiling and will make your home feel like a winter wonderland.
Snow Globes
There’s
something a bit precious about having a snow globe as part of your
Christmas decorations round your house, and these magical ornaments are
making a great comeback, paving the way for plenty more festive fun.
Jump on the trend and place a few round your home, adding a vintage vibe
to your festivities.
Homemade Décor
Handmade
gifts and decorations were all the range years ago, however recently
they’ve begun to be replaced due to the rise in technology providing
gifts with greater ease. With a rise in households trying to live more
sustainable, these handmade gifts and decorations are making a comeback,
saving the environment and your precious pennies!
No Limit Christmas Trees
Fitting
with a more sustainable way of living, no limit Christmas trees have
been growing in popularity again over the past few years. It drastically
cuts down on your waste if you are to keep your own potted tree to
decorate each year and you can even grab some solar powered LED lights
to keep in it year round to keep some of the Christmas spirit alive.
Carol Signing
Okay, technically this tradition never fully disappeared as choirs and schools still regularly put on carol services over the Christmas period, but going door to door and bringing yuletide joy to your neighbours is a tradition that is slowly making its way back into mainstream traditions. Give it a try with some of your friends and family – it’s a great way to spread some holiday cheer!
