    Linda: this is a "visual" comment. I bought the same little tree in your dining room. I took 1 strand of clear warm white incandescent (because I like the glow better) and one set of twinkle lights (both 100 per set each) and put them on the tree. I used plug in but anyone can use battery timer lights as well. Then I plugged into smart plug (Govee). Then I added Kurt Adler glass icicle ornaments all over it! OMG...it looks beautiful. I have a GIANT light green (uranium) fish bowl glass 1920's Cambridge glass bowl that I put the base in for stability (like you) and added red ornaments to the inside of the bowl. I'll switch out to Blue after Christmas. Thank you for inspiring me to think outside the box! The Pineapple mold looks perfect! You are the BEST!

    I use the clear little door stops on your cabinet doors. They stay well and are nearly invisible. We moved from New England to New Jersey and I enjoy the simple beauty of using the "heirlooms" for decor etc. and it IS different here. I love my new friends but the holidays are different.

    Linda your videos are a wonderful escape for me! Time to settle in and live vicariously through you- in what would be a dream for me- New England! Your videos inspire me to slow down, notice nature, think outside the box and be creative. I especially love when you take us around New England- Amherst, NH was so pretty 😱- that first tree - I cannot imagine the time it took to wrap each branch!! Stunning! Your fairy tree was such a delight!!Thank you for letting us join you in these videos!💕

    Happy Sunday. Glad to see your post and all that you are doing. I think that you might be in for more snow. They are saying maybe here, too, in NC. I will believe it when I see it. Your kitchen is so cozy by the fire. The tea gift basket is a lovely idea. Your garlands this year look really pretty. One week to go! I am keeping a tranquil attitude as I finish. I wish you the same as you prepare. (The felt pads for dish placement was genius, btw.)

The blue color of the sky and air as you talked about the fog is one of my favorite things of winter. There is so much beauty in the crispness of the air. This was such an enjoyable video because you gave us a view of the Christmassiness (not a real word) of your home. Thank you, Linda.

I love your videos Linda....they remind me of Martha Stewart programs from the 80's/90's! Now I plan on making a faux topiary inspired by your potatoe kissing ball...keep that inspiration coming please!! lol Jeannette

    Hi Linda ..I am glad to hear you're trying to slow it down because I have done the same myself this year.... even though my house is decorated to the hilt, I have tried to be very mindful and kind of slow things down a bit.... and I've really enjoyed the holiday so far. I always get such a kick out of watching Willow run and roll around in the snow! Your house looks so pretty and festive with all of your beautiful decor ...and it certainly is a New England Christmas at your house, as always! I'm going to make some oven dried oranges this week and hang them on the tree, and the I think my Christmas decorating is done! Until next time.....☃☃

    First off, you look so pretty in your blue sweater! Once again you've pulled off making such a cool video. So many things to look at around your house. I love the natural look of things and the subtle colors added. Just Right! :) I really thought the kissing balls were fun. I think I will have to try to make one. I don't have many greens to choose from (living on the Central Coast in California) but I will use whatever I can find. I have Boxwoods and I know I can get some Cedar etc at Trader Joe's. 😂 I hope you have a great time at the party you mentioned you were going to. PS: I ordered those tree candles you mentioned in your last video. I only ordered one box just to see if they worked well etc! Darn! I love them and I can't get another box. They want $14.95 to ship a box and they would come mid January. This was the only buying option. My box was the price of the item and tax! When I heard you mention you ordered several boxes I thought to myself, "why didn't I think of that!" Oh well, there's always next year. Thanks for turning me on to these. See, I learn sooooo much from you! Sorry if I'm rambling on this time but I can't help it. I hope Ben, You, and Willow have an awesome Sunday. 🎄
