I'm not normally one for Halloween decor, but some of these are proving too irresistible. Now I know it feels far too early to mention Christmas decorating ideas, but it seems like everything is moving at an even faster pace than usual this year, so I've already purchased the Nutcracker runner (returning as part of the Dunelm Christmas rug collection) because I missed out last year.
