The time for tiptoeing around the issue has long gone, Christmas is (pretty much) here! Sneak peeks of decorated Christmas trees popping up on Instagram have signalled the 'okay' for discussing all things festive. Prepare yourselves, because as I've mentioned in my updated about section, A Glass Of Ice is a lifestyle blog 'focussing on stylish and seasonal living'. I'm ready to resume my role of Mrs Claus! Speaking of which, Debenhams have lent a helping hand by sending over a gorgeous bundle of festive Yankee Candle treats. So, to kickstart the season and with the scent of 'Berry Trifle' wafting around my desk, I've been thinking about some of my favourite Christmas memories...

It's a cliché, but this really is the most wonderful time of the year! If you're 100% ready to dive head first into the season, feel free to let me know something you adore about the season - I'd love to hear about your fave Christmas tradition?!With love,

ps. remember I listed 8 Chic Ways to Revamp your Home Office? Well, after painting, spraying and posting a couple of updates on Insta Stories, the gold legs are ready and the white table top is in place (as seen in this post)... and so the project continues!
So wonderful, love these candles!! Beautiful images doll x

Seasonal candles are the best, and Yankee Candles definitely do some amazing ones! My favourite scent is Sugared Apple, it is so sweet and comforting. You're lucky to go and see the Christmas markets in Cologne, I can't wait to see the beautiful photos you'll take there :D
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite Christmas traditions is just having an amazing dinner with family, and getting a huge chocolate box at the end to share between us all.

This post has made me even more excited for Christmas, girlie! I've completely forgotten about Yankee Candle because I haven't shopped in a mall in a really long time. Most of the stores I shop at are store front, so I've missed walking by and being persuaded to enter by the most amazing scents! I'll have to make it a point of interest to stop by because those scents look like they'd smell amazing! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great start to your week so far!

I'm so excited about Christmas and I can't believe that it's around the corner.... Christmas isn't complete without Yankee candles. My family always celebrate on Christmas eve and sleep in on Christmas day as it's a tradition in Norway. :P

What a festive and joyous post, I like the Christmas colours, glitters and all. Great post Gabrielle!
ReplyDeletewww.busyandfab.com
I absolutely adore strolling around shopping centers that are fully decked out for the holidays. Especially the town center near where I live because all the trees are strung with lights, and there are holiday events that take place every weekend. I agree that it's a wonderful time of year. I've already got Christmas music playing on the radio

What a warm and cheery post. I also love scented candles and lights this time of year. My favorite tradition is to prepare Norwegian dishes for both Christmas Eve and Christmas. Last year, my husband and I ended up smoldering ours, because we had a new (never before used) oven. Please wish us good luck this year! And thanks for the lovely recounting of your Christmas memories. XO
