Speaking about the campaign with the online department store, Carol said: "We have always had a tradition of going to Debenhams as part of the Christmas shopping, as they seem to have everything for all the family from stocking fillers to luxury gift sets. When they asked us to be their Christmas Family, I was personally over the moon and couldn’t wait to see what they had available this year."
Natalya, Carol and Jessica get into the Christmas spirit!
When it comes to starting festivities early, you won't find any Grinches here! Mark explained: "Christmas is a BIG thing in our house, even now the four children have moved out, we still all come together at Christmas time, all back at the family home. We’re so lucky to be able to all come together again this year and can’t wait for the celebrations, as well as the food and drink!"

The family has some great festive traditions, including Christmas PJs. Mark especially is a big fan. "100% love them!" Carol added: "So we used to dress up for Christmas Day, but over the years we have changed to more of a Christmas causal theme, which does include matching pyjama sets!! This year, Debenhams.com have even created a matching set which includes one for your dog – which will be on Bubbles and Bella’s wish list for sure, they are a part of the family."
Carol and Mark are so excited about welcoming a grandchild next year
When it comes to presents, the family has a big list, and it's all about the big pamper. Carol said: "I want My Lancôme genifique serum, it’s my favourite and a regular within my skincare routine." Mark is after Calvin Klein Defy aftershave. "I have nearly finished the bottle, so I need a top up."
The family are so excited to have a family Christmas this year
After 2020, this Christmas the family are all planning to be together. Jessica said: "It will be a big family affair this year, especially as last year we were all apart. I think all of us want to make sure that this is a Christmas, like never before and caught-up on the loss of last year’s memories! We love all being together with lots of hustle and bustle and games and drinks.
