'Disorganised' Stacey Solomon shares kids' one tear-jerking Christmas wish
Sort Your Life Out star Stacey Solomon has shared a photo of her stunning decorations on social media, but has admitted that this Christmas she has been the “most disorganised I’ve ever been.” Sharing the image of her front door, decked out with beautiful ice pink decorations, she wished her followers a “Happy Christmas Eve Eve” and said that it didn’t matter if everything wasn’t organised as her kids’ Christmas wish was that the family was all together.
The mum of five and stepmum of one started the post by writing “Forgot to show you the front door.” Her photo was worth the wait as it featured a sleigh with a snowy reindeer, huge pale pink baubles mixed with foliage over the doorway, a handful of figurines and a pretty pink wreath on the wooden door.
She added: “I finished it the other week and I can honestly say this is the most disorganised I’ve ever been at Christmas. But I’m rolling with it all because all the kids will care about is that we are together and home with nothing to focus on but Christmas day.”

Husband Joe revealed in an interview with Metro that Christmas this year at their Pickle Cottage would be more of a low key affair. "Last year, we had about 28 people at our house for Christmas dinner. This year is a bit more quiet: just me, Stacey, the kids and three or four other people coming."
Stacey has had a busy few months leading up to Christmas. As well as filming Sort Your Life Out and Stacey Solomon’s Craft Christmas, she recently flew to Las Vegas and enjoyed a trip to see Adele in concert there. Back in England, she and husband Joe Swash are also filming a reality show that will peek behind the scenes of their family life.
As part of Craft Christmas, Stacey also got to spread some festive joy with a member of her own family. On The One Show she revealed that she hosted a yuletide bash at the care home where her grandmother Gwen lives. She enlisted a dream team to bring her festive vision to life, roping in her hubby Joe, the kids, her sister Jemma, and her Sort Your Life Out sidekick, Dilly Carter.
They were tasked with transforming the care home into a magical winter wonderland. Stacey's hand-crafted decorations decked the halls just in time for the residents and staff to bask in the holiday cheer. "Grandma Gwen was so excited we were coming to her care home! She was over the moon,” she told hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp.
"My grandma is just the most amazing woman. She's 96 this month. So when we said we'll come to her care home, she was absolutely delighted."
