🎄CHRISTMAS DECORATE W/ ME 2023! | cozy simple holiday decor ideas | motivation + encouragement
It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's time to spruce up the house with some cleaning and decluttering! And even though we can't get things perfect in a home with three little kids, I'm learning to let go and take that pressure off! Progress over perfection, right?
Let's also do a bit of decorating together for Christmas and Thanksgiving! I'm setting out the same decor I've had for years and years, keeping it minimal and simple as usual. I
On this channel, you'll notice I take a bit of a different approach to prepping and planning for the holidays. I want to be a source of motivation and encouragement that you don't have to be pinterest-worthy or keep up with Joneses in order to enjoy your holiday season and bless your guests!

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.
I'm typically a silent, but dedicated viewer. But I have to say how much I enjoy your videos and content. I've been going through many health struggles and these videos help me get through the tough times. Thank you for that!
May God continue to bless you and heal you. I’m a mama for with health struggles, and you’re not alone. Keep hope, keep encouraged. 🩵🙏✨
🎄Hi! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Love that you and Hailey are wearing matching red ribbons in your hair! Precious :)
🕎
Natalie, you are the Mr. Rogers of RUclips. Thanks for bringing warmth and cheery vibes ❤
A very accurate description❤
I'm so glad your Pateron is going so well because your content is always so clean and relaxing to watch. Thank you so much as well for still posting here on RUclips for the mommas who can't afford it quite yet! You are doing amazing, have a great Thanksgiving!
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. It nice to see someone on RUclips that decorates the way I love. Thank you for being you and just giving a peaceful place to come and decompress
Natalie, thank you for sharing your grandparents legacy with us! It’s truly so endearing to hear how you speak of them. God bless you and your family this holiday season! ❤
You are amazing, Natalie. You have encouraged me so much over the years. I love watching and listening to your videos. I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🎄
🎄 I love your memories attached to your table and how much this time of year can be beautiful in that!
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!
Such a wholesome comment all the way around. ❤️
I also had tears in my eyes. Reminded me of thanksgivings and christmases long past at my grandparents. They also put the tree up (on thanksgiving) and let all the grandkids decorate ❤.
You can tell in the first 10 seconds how thrilled you are to make this content. It's so sweet.
There was laundry to fold long overdue and guess what, Natalie is always an inspiration to get things done 💕🎄
I love that my husbands grandma takes all of us shopping to pick out our gifts and grab lunch with us! Then she takes them home and wraps them up for our family Christmas. ❤
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..
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! 🎄💟
Not the current trend, but I LOVE colored lights. I do not like the neutral trend, I love colors always, so my tree is always very colorful, homey, with a hodgepodge of fun ornaments that hold special memories ❤️
I'm with you! I agree. Ours is covered in colored lights and a huge collection of ornaments from our childhoods, our kids childhood ornaments, handmade ones and everything in between. We even throw on some old school tinsel some years! 😂 I love and appreciate a tree with coordinating ornaments and white lights and think they're beautiful but not for us!
We have trees all over our house. They all have colored lights. So cheerful and fun. Especially bubble lights. I adore bubble lights. 😂 The tree in our bedroom is the only one that isn’t a mix up of all colors but the lights are still blue and not white.
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. 🤎
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. 🤗🎄
🎄 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 😁
We have a natural tree and white light. But we don't decorate this early in France
Same country, same kind of lights, but a fake tree. We do decorate later in the year (this year it’ll be the first weekend of December) but I think we keep our decorations longer (until at least the 6th of January. I was surprised the first time I realised some Americans found it natural to un-decorate the day after Christmas - or at least it felt so!)
That being said, some municipalities around us have begun to install tgeir lights, even thoigh they’re not yet lit.
🎄 Hi Natalie! So excited for this video but just like all of your videos! ❄️ Fun festive decor! 🎄 Love how you do you and your own thing and your never worrying about what every one else is doing on You Tube etc. and for how genuine you are. ❄️
We are decorating for Christmas this weekend, and I am so excited to have our home transform into a magical wonderland.
That Snoopy sweater brings me joy :)
GGAAAHHH THE R2D2 ORNAMENNTTT!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Also, your coffee tee you're wearing in the "second day" clips is the cutest!!
Your exclaiming while you cleaned the window sill had me rolling- so glad I'm not the only mom that cleans that way lol
My favorite decorate with me for all seasons! I love these videos of reusing decor and not buying all new. Everything looks beautiful!
Beautiful job Natalie have a great week love all the Christmas decor my favorite time of year! 🎄⭐️
Your home is beautiful! I love how cozy everything is! Your videos always bring so much joy🙏
You are lookin pretty cute in that green dress ❤
I just have to say, thank you for showing the dirt. I love how relatable yet peaceful your videos are!
I love your mindset shift that you don't have to clean your whole house before decorating anything. You mentioned that last year I think and I remembered that when I wanted to put up my tree this year and it helped it be a much more joyful experience 😁
I think you modeling the virtue of hospitality like your grandparents did is truly a special gift to those who you host.
#premierefam 🎄
My favorite family Christmas tradition is the giving manger we made a few years ago. When I find a child doing something kind, helpful, generous, loving, etc. they place some straw in a wooden manger on our table. They fill it for Baby Jesus on Christmas Day 🤍
Such a fun video! Love your decor 😍 one of our favorite traditions is driving to McAdenville NC and seeing all the lights there with our kids. 🎄 #premierefam
🎄I LOVE your tree . . . may I ask where you purchased it? thank you for sharing and I LOVE your white lights but I am a colored light person !!!! AND - HEAVEN FORBID - I still use tinsel . . . tinsel makes me happy !!!!!
Colored lights and tinsel for me too! 😊
Thank you for sharing! It seems like this year everyone online is buying all new decor...like doesn't everyone maybe buy 1 or 2 things a year? Thanks for staying grounded all these years. 😊
You are so welcome!
🎄always love the gentle motivation. We started decorating slowly…it’s perfect. Thanks, Natalie!
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.
“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!
We have white lights in our tree 🎄 and of course We always use the same decorations. It’s a process every year to unpack and talk about the memories we have ”with” our decorations. My favourite holiday tradition is bakning gingerbread cookies, I used to do it with my grandma and my sisters growing up and now I do it with my kids and sometimes friends kids as well #premierefam
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. 🎄
That’s a very cool idea!
🎄 loved this video!! So festive!! Your “what I got my kids for for Christmas” video last year was what got me hooked on your channel!❤ can’t wait for this year’s video! My kids are quite a bit younger than yours (almost 3, and 1) but I still love that sort of video. Thank you for always motivating me and helping me feel like it’s a good time to “get on up” and get something done😊
🎄merry Christmas Natalie and Fam!!❤ God Bless your family with Joy and Light!
My family tradition is always having a fondue with my kids on Christmas Eve!
🎄🍄🎄You are such a beautiful inspiration ❣️ I agree with you, it’s much more enjoyable to clean and decorate with a treasured friend. May you all have a peaceful, loving, and joyful celebration ❣️
Natalie, you look beautiful in your green dress. Do you remember where you bought it? Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks as always for your content 🎄
Well, we don’t have Christmas traditions right now as much as we do have Christmas elements during the whole month- Amy grant, Karen Carpenter🎶 decorating together as a family❤️
Nothing exciting, but all so perfect.
Weston is the BESTon! 😄 everything turned out gorgeous, happy holly dayz!🥰
Love all your videos! And I have a question: Any chance you’ll bring back your holiday decorate collabs from a few years ago? Those were so special!
Somebody like this comment so I can come back to watch this after Thanksgiving 😂
Contentment is so important! Have you read “The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment”? It’s a puritan classic that I think is a must read for every Christian.
🎄I love all your decors ideas! I was going to ask you about doing the rod thing in the upper window in your livingroom, but I like the doorway better!
Since living in the motorhome, my holidays are very small looking to keep it that way, but I have saved so many things for when we need to get a home again!
🎄great video 🎄amazing family🎄Merry Christmas 🎄
I love your beautiful advent calendar! Where did you purchase that? My four little ones would love that!❤🥰
🎄 I love to leave my fall/Thanksgiving stuff up until after Thanksgiving! For the past few years we have put up our tree before Thanksgiving. We have Thanksgiving dinner at our house so love the fall decor to still be up!
We use a pre lit tree with white lights and then we usually add colored lights to it, but last year we used all white! I love a lot of lights! We are going to try to get our tree up before Thanksgiving this year not sure if we will go with more white or colored lights this year!?! Lol! Love Weston’s Christmas decorating outfit! 😅And love that you share your Faith! ❤
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
This Video is soooo calming 😌🫶🏼 and i Love that you Call it „i spy with my little eye…“ 🥹 in Germany we say something like „ i see something you don’t See and that is…“ 😂
Natalie where did you get the mushroom garland that you took down and replaced? I’ve been looking for one like that! Love all the decor and holiday stuff!!
Hey Natalie, Can you share the deets on your tree and your Snoopy sweater? My sons teacher loves Peanuts, and that sweater looks like a great Christmas gift!
Loving this video, thanks for sharing!
We have white lights on our Christmas trees! I enjoyed watching your children help you decorate the tree. 🎄 Cute mushroom holiday garland! You are an inspiration to us by sharing your wonderful memories of your grandparents.
Sorry, i can not watch right now. We still have a different holiday here in the Netherlands. That starts todat and ends on the 5th of december called Sinterklaas.
And when i hear you talk about hanging out with friend and family for the holidays it making me sad. Cause my familie is all about blaming the others, blaming me. And it happend again with this holiday.
Hopefully i can watch it after Sinterklaas.
I grew up on colored lights, but since getting married it's always been white lights, just prefer it now😊
Every year we pack our kiddos up in their Christmas PJ's and drive around to look at our local neighborhood's Christmas lights. It's probably my favorite tradition! Someone around the corner from us always sets their lights to a musical display- so beautiful! #premierefam
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.
🎄Such an enjoyable video. Loved all of it but my two favorites were the tension rod garland - what a great idea- and Weston's Christmas outfit😃
I love that you have the Jackie Hill Perry Devotional! Its soooo good!
I soo related with the clean kitchen. It just feels like a huge load has been lifted off my chest if the kitchen is clean. Also I got so excited when I saw the tension poles wreath❤😍. And so funny that Weston is wearing Santa shorts(more of a Santa from a tropical island but still)😅
Your videos are always so inspiring. You can feel how welcoming and beautiful your home is! My favorite tradition with my little ones is looking at all the lights and watching them color pictures for family #premeirefam
#premierefam we don’t do to many traditions here but we always go on a family horse drawn sleigh ride that we look forward to every year.
Everything is so beautiful!!! Can you please tell me where or what kind of colored lights you put on your tree? They are so pretty!
Your home looks beautiful love the free and white lights are my favourite can't have sparkling as they give me migraine
House looks festive. I never thought to put up the Christmas tree and ornaments before Thanksgiving. I decorate our tree with ornaments from places we've visited over the years. Also, I add my sons ornaments. 😊
The fact I’ve been scrolling my for you page all morning looking for something to watch and RUclips didn’t suggest your video is honestly criminal 😂 had to dig through my subscriptions to find it
You're dinning room table is just beautiful...
White lights for me. But my kids like the color :) luckily I have the same kind of tree as your mom and can switch it up between the two
I love that you mix Thanksgiving and Christmas! I host Thanksgiving every year but love to enjoy Christmas decor for a longer time. so, I mix it as well. You don’t see if very often in social media. Your tree is so special, that’s the kind of Christmas I grew up having and I hope to do the same for my children. The memories that the ornaments hold are so special and make it feel warm and homey. 🎄🎄
What are the outside lights Westin installed, called? My husband would appreciate not getting on the super tall ladder every year.
I was anxious to make sure your boys were still alive, after being zipped up in that tree bag. 😱😆
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 🤷♀️
I miss my Mom and Daughter at Christmas too! Well always actually. 😢
We do coloured lights, I prefer white but my husband likes coloured. He rarely ever gives an opinion on decorations in our house so when he does I listen!
Hi Natalie, I must say your home has a lovely touch, and you make it look so easy to be productive. Very nice. Have a great week, and I will see you in the next one ❤
I like white lights on my elegant tree but my son likes colorful lights on his personal tree for his room
When my favourite youtuber starts her christmas content, i feel so happy. Time to start our decor too. Thanks Natalie !
Its always so nice to see the kids taking part in everything. I see less & less of that. ❤ You have a coat hubby has shorts. Love it😅
I prefer white but kiddos and husband love colored so I default to that for them! 🎄
I switch. Last year was colored lights, this year white lights.
Another wonderful video Natalie. That front porch is so inviting!
I do love your little porch and the Christmas decorations look lovely. Happy holidays 🎄
Lovely!! Can you send the link to your tree? Thank you!
Can you share the shop you got your nativity scene from?!
My favorite christmas tradition is going to cut down our tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year will be the best as we're celebrating with our new baby, it will be her first Christmas 🎄 #premierefam
I would love to see what types of food you and the fam put together for your holiday gatherings. 😊
I love the music you play in your videos. It's very soothing to the soul
We are colored light folks here, but both are beautiful!
I stumbled ur videos today, and it's my birthday
Your home is looking so wonderful! 👌 happy holidays!
Always love it when your momma joins!
Your family stories are beUtiful
🎄 contentment is huge. We set up our tree early today it brings in so much coziness to our home.
November is still fall to me and I try to avoid Christmas content as much as possible but it's just impossible to skip your videos so I guess it's Christmas now 😅
