draw your ornament

CLARE CLARITY

I try to live every day as if I’m on holidays, even when I’m at home. My living room fairy lights are on in the evening all year round, candles are lit, I have a lava lamp on, and a beloved record is always playing. Fittingly, my favourite festive decoration is my tropical Christmas tree: a mini plastic tree decorated with paper drink umbrellas and a glittery pineapple ornament on top. I love that it’s so small so I can nestle it in among my tropical plant collection (occasionally those get a little tinsel treatment, too). It’s also easy to store, doesn’t take long to set up, and doesn’t take up a lot of room in my small apartment, which is handy.
