You know Christmas is close when the Coca-Cola truck is around and this morning we spotted it outside our office. All day the song ‘Holidays are coming, holidays are coming’ has been in our head and with just 6 weeks to Christmas, the BrandAlley office is buzzing preparing for the festive period. From Christmas gifts for all the family to stocking fillers and beautiful decorations to get you in the mood, it’s time to start thinking about Christmas.

Victoria from VIP xo is getting into the festive spirit with her blog on Christmas style jumpers. We love the selection she has chosen and have a 2 more to add to the mix. We posted about these Manoush wonderful wollies earlier this week with the question – Is it too soon to start wearing Christmas jumpers? What are your thoughts?

If you love Arts and Crafts, have you thought about creating your own Christmas cards this year? Over on Craft Work Cards blogspot, Karen has a step by step guide to the thoughtful stationery which adds a real personal touch and is sure to make the recipient very happy. To make it extra special and more focused on Christmas, why not add some glitter to really make them sparkle? You could even go for a theme with stars, red and gold, pine cones and anything else that reminds you of Christmas.
