The best personalised Christmas baubles to add a sentimental touch to your festive decorations
When you decide to put your Christmas tree up is completely down to you. For some people, it's the earlier the better, with all the festive decorations going up as soon as November hits. Others like to wait until the very last minute to turn their home into a Christmas grotto. Generally, most families tend to wait for the first day or weekend in December to decorate for Christmas.
If you were to follow tradition, you would start displaying and decorating your Christmas tree when Advent starts. This is always the Sunday that is four full weeks away from Christmas Day, in case you didn't know.We've been adorning Christmas trees with pretty baubles, bright lights and sparkly tinsel for as long as we can remember.
Christmas tree decoration became popular in the UK during Queen Victoria's reign. This was when a picture of the Royal Family standing beside a large tree covered with glass ornaments at Windsor Castle was published. Homes across Britain then started to follow suit by decking out trees with sweets, candles, fruit and homemade decorations.
