    Love the kids hiding away into the tree bag! 😂❤❤❤ Only this age once. We’re always saying that and savoring the childlike playfulness. Found your channel years away when expecting my twins who are now 7. 🤗🎄

    In regards to Christmas decor. I usually only add a few things to my collection each year and I always declutter some out when going through my precious decor. It all keeps me reigned in when we are bombarded with so much decor in the store. And my parents always put colored lights on our trees as a kid so I do colored as well.

    Picturing you as a little kid around your grandparents table and then seeing you now decorating it and continue their tradition in your own home all grown up just brought tears to my eyes. I always feel like I can just connect with you in your videos. They’re not just a decorating video, they actually have heart and meaning. I’ve had a pretty rough and chaotic day as a homeschool mom to three boys where everything just wasn’t going right. Attitudes and tensions were high. Sitting down with your videos on Tuesdays brings me so much peace and helps me reset. Thank you!! I’ve been here for years and even my kids know you because I also have a son named Liam who loves Minecraft. He even said, “I want to go to where they live and meet them and be their friends.” 🥰 You are special to our family!

    I love the simplicity of your decorating. It reminds me of my home growing up. Me husband and I have opposite decorating tastes. He loves all the glitter and twinkle and I love the simple.

    “Focus on the senses. What do you want your children to see? smell? Hear? Taste? Feel?”
    I don’t know who said this, but it really helped me hone in on what I was striving for as far as memories for my children during this magical season. It can be so overwhelming to make it special. But if you focus on the senses, it allows you to see it from a minimal perspective.
    I want them to see a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations they recognize year after year. I want them to smell the baked goods and candles. Touch the wreathes and crafts we make. Hear the Christmas music. Taste great grandmas empire biscuits.
    It doesn’t have to be overwhelming ❤
    Thanks for another fun cozy video!

    The holidays can get so overwhelming sometimes, especially with everything around us influencing us to go out and buy new shiny things , convincing us that we need them , we really don’t, thank you for reminding me of that today , love the simplicity of your videos inviting us to slow down and simply enjoy the season with our loved ones .. nothing else is needed..

    This video was such a dream! So cozy. I lost my sweet Nana this summer and I’m already feeling the tension of this first holiday season without her, but adding touches of her decor and using her china for our Thanksgiving dinner feels like a sweet way to honor her memory. 🤎

    When I was young I remember saying "I will never be too cool for colored lights" and sure enough as I matured, I found myself gravitating towards white lights, but I refused to abandon my younger self, so for over 15 years I've been wrapping the inside of the tree, closer to the trunk with colored lithts and white on the outside. I love it! It has the elegance of the white lights with the beautiful sparkles of color shining out from the inside. It's beautiful! I love that you have discovered that style too. 🎄

    What fantastic and refreshing video. Your videos are so inspiring and have a cozy feel to them. I had to watch the tree assembly twice because your kids were having such a great time - from helping to decorate to playing in the tree storage bag (that made me laugh). How thankful I am for the way that you share the things you do and that you obviously have such a deep love for God and your family. I know you must be an amazing friend to have. I will continue my decluttering journey as I am able to experience the freedom, peace and gratitude that continues to grow...Blessings to you and your family! 🎄💟

    I grew up in a colored lights household. We even had bubble lights on our tree growing up. And our tree was filled with colorful kid craft project ornaments, things my mom’s students gave her, and a collection of Santas riding various animals. But as an adult, I like white lights and while my tree is still full of handmade ornaments and things I’ve picked up traveling, I have a color scheme of natural tones plus red and white. I live in a small space, and having a defined color scheme just feels less chaotic to me.

    🎄 There’s so much to love in this video- the gentle motivation, the encouragement of putting up your tree first, the wonderful music (love Charlie Brown! And I love how you had “crackly” music playing when you showed your record player ☺️), the charming decor, and most of all, the sharing of heartwarming memories and moments that will soon become lovely memories. ❤❤ p.s. I’m a white light girl but my husband grew up with colored lights, so we do colors on the tree, but white everywhere else 😁

    I do white lights because it seems less chaotic to me, but I do like to look at the trees with colored lights at friends and family’s houses. For me at home to see it every day, white is more calming 🤷‍♀️

    Always had colored lights growing up and so did my husband. I love the look of a white light tree without any ornaments and if I put my tree up early, that's usually what I keep it on. Which is why I love our tree that changes from white lights to colored lights! It also fades in and out, blinks, all the fun things!

    We call the kids section of the table “The Riff Raf Table”. It’s something my dad grew up with. Thanksgiving to me is 40 people in “the studio”, an uninsulated room off of a family home with a huge fireplace, covered with art, a piano in the corner, looking over the Atlantic in Maine. We gather around that fireplace after a family football game on the beach, with pie and coffee and guitars. Family is magic, I hope you can enjoy time with yours oh so much 🤍

    I have 2 trees for our house. One I got when I was in uni and the other is the "grown up" tree. My tree has ALL the lights. White, colour, and last year led change lights that can be programmed that I spent a lot on. Buy are awesome. The "grown up" one has 1 set of both cool and warm white led lights. Decor wise my tree looks like a unicorn vomited glitter all over it, anything goes as long as I like it, and the house one is neutrals and pastel natural colours.

    A warm ans lovely Hello from Germany 🥰🎄I love your Christmas decoration videos. In my family we have special traditions. We still decorate after the “death Sunday”. Our Christmas tree is a real tree, he moved into our living room not before the 22. December and stays there till the 6. January. My favorite colors are red, green and white. Except in the Entry there are the main colors white and grey.There will be a Scandinavian winter wonderland. Most of my traditions are from my Grandparents, and I hope they always have a big smile in their faces when they see from above that their traditions are still alive. My girls are 20, 16 and 13 and they are obsessed with this season, our traditions and all the little surprises I will do in this time😍. I wish you, your family and everyone who read this a peaceful and joyful season. 🎄🥰

I had grandmas no grandpa's. They lived far away. But I do miss my parents, they were always there for me. We had pretty good Thanksgiving & Christmas's. We even had the silver Christmas 🎄 tree, with the rotating light. It was ok. Different, I inherited it when I got married. It worked for awhile. But I remember those Christmas's very special. I love your porch. You & your daughter & of course the kitty, so sweet. I do love your thrity little ornaments! Thanks so much for letting us be with you decorating your home. Have a beautiful weekend!❤️☺️🫂🐾🐈‍⬛🎄🎅🤶🦃🍾🎉

    Natalie I am the same as you. We spent do much time with my grandparents especially around the holidays. My grandma had a rollaway table. The ends would roll out and make a huge table. All my cousins, aunts and uncles would be there and it was wonderful. Great memories ❤️🎄🦃
