This is my most favorite post that you have done this year! Most of us overwhelmed with all of the little "this and thats" that come with the Christmas holidays! Ilove your sense of humor! Am really looking forward to following you in the new year! Happy Holidays!
Oh thank you so much, it was so much fun to create. Not sure what the New Year will bring but hopefully some more good laughs, although Justin (next to me) thinks I shouldn’t over do it. 🤣 Happy Holidays and New Year soon! Wow! 😵💫
However you decorate, let it come from the heart! Thank you for sharing your presence with us, it’s nice to hear from you. Your RUclips handle sounds intriguing…Castle?!!!
Your vlog really threw me for a loop. It wasn't clear whether l should take you seriously or not. I guess we have different senses of humor. I wish l had your space to live in let alone decorate for Christmas! But comparison is always the robber of joy. Gratitude is really the only "attitude" we should have. I'm telling myself this while sitting in the living room of our trailer home with no central heating but enjoying the heat from the rocket stove that my husband built and we are able to heat the entire house with $10 worth of scrap wood from a cabinet shop that fills a truck bed. Both my husband and l are about 3 thousand miles from each side of our families and really have nobody but ourselves to spend it with so l understand the longing to be near family around Christmas. Make new traditions with just you and your hubby. I have thoroughly enjoyed the vlogs that share unique Christmas ideas and family traditions. Happy holidays you 3.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. However you celebrate the holidays, may it be filled with continued warmth and love. 💕💕💕💕💕💕 I appreciate your viewership very much and hope to see you visit us again.
Thank you for saying out loud, what so many women are thinking. It's easy to feel inadequate. I was thinking for 1 min about drying oranges, but rather eat them, and the color does not go well in my house. I tied branches after the storm together with some pine cones and hung it on our fence. And I decorate my tree with glass birds and old ornaments. Very minimalist decorations and I love it that way. I am not very practical but instead like cooking and baking for a few friends coming to my house. I also have become a minimalist who I watch on U tube. So no homemade wreaths or orange strings at me house. I' ll put some green branches and holly from the yard around the table when people come over. You are definitely far from a Grinch. Happy Holidays ❤ Sabine ( my heart is heavy and sad today after watching German news.)
Dearest Sabine, Justin brought me to date with the news. It’s absolutely awful. I wish so much that these crazy things didn’t happen. What you do at home sounds lovely and I wish I can come over and visit and help you eat those oranges. 🍊
Thank you for your wholesome video 😝. It’s my first time to your channel, and of course, I subscribed….the scenery is stunning, your hubs is a hottie, and you may or may not find coal in your stocking…I can’t wait to find out…have a lovely, quiet, holiday with your sweet family, and the best to you for 2025 🤍🤍🤍
You have such a beautiful home. It looks life life is slower there in that part of France. I’m new to your vlog so I’m not familiar yet with your story. I liked your creative take on the Christmas season.
Oh Jenni , we’d all be happier if we didn’t compare ourselves to those on social media ! Your French home is beautiful as is ! Merry Christmas to you , Justin and Bibi !🎄❤️
So refreshing. We hear you, thanks for sharing. In New Zealand we celebrate very differently as it is generally warm and sunny. Wishing you both peace and joy. Celia
@@Frenchcountryfriends in a house with people that I cook for. While wishing my dogs and birds and I were at home in the hills where sweet water springs flow and the air is pure. ❤️
All very inspiring though! I’m trying to convince Justin to get an artificial tree but he’s not ready yet. 🤣 Happy Holidays keep your belly full & happy.
@Frenchcountryfriends get a small Christmas tree in a pot, it can be put in the ground in future years, and some lights added to have a nice view out your window. (Away from the house thou.)
Well with your lemons if life gives you lemons make lemonade 😅…. There will be no orange slicing here 😅 who has the time 😮 and my get up and go has got up and gone 😅 …. Have a lovely orange free christmas ❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your comment was perfection! We took out a handful of ornaments this year…now I’m wondering how I’m going to pull off a pink theme next year. Oh ribbons! Pink used ribbons! 🤣
That was actually way more interesting and enjoyable than the ever present holiday decorating vlog. And you are right when it comes to over consumption. I'm not a Grinch or Scrooge, but the feeling of having to compete with every other home for the biggest tree or light display is a bit overwhelming. A Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🌲💚🐾..
Every holiday is overload, it's best to celebrate the way that makes you comfortable and happy ❤ Happy holiday to you and Justin. You both inspire and make us smile xo Rhonda
I also agree. I luv decorating with pumpkins and mums for Halloween and thanksgiving but some of the Christmas videos are too over the top and can make you feel inadequate. That’s why I luv your videos. You make the mundane beautiful. I could live in your potting shed.
Ohhh Halloween, that’s definitely not a thing here in France, but if I were back in the US, I’d definitely have one of the spookiest yards in the neighborhood. 🎄 Merry Holiday and thanks for watching!
You’re right, Jeni. It’s overkill, and other than a nativity and a white poinsettia, I put up nothing this season. It’s not about the decor anyway. 💜💜☺️ Hugs to you and Justin🤗🤓
I hate Christmas! And don’t participate at all. I have shoe box of simple white ceramic or metal vintage Christmas decorations that I hang on a stick if I’m inspired. It would be 5 years since I’ve opened it. The food is horrible. Tinsel is tacky. Green and red should never be seen together. But most of all the single use items for one day does my head in. Simple warm white lights outside in natural year round trees is about all I see beauty in.
There are these solar lights in the shape of large alliums that I dream of having! I’d have them out all year long. I tired to convincing Justin of a stick tree one year, I’m glad he didn’t agree. 🤣
Yes every man or should I say woman & her dog is putting out vlogs on “How to” for either Christmas or everyday of your life. But just let’s face it, like you they are also trying to make some money. It’s not like you are not. So if you are overwhelmed then don’t try to watch other people’s vlogs. But please don’t complain that there are too many vlogs out there. Everyone should have a chance of making some money if they can. Why should it be only you?
Ohhh no, I’m purely meant to be comical, a satire. I love all holiday decorating and spirit. ❤️⭐️ I’m a huge fan of all the beautiful content. I warned you, don’t watch this video unless you’ve got a sense of humor. Happy Holidays.
the perfect anti-dote to the overwhelm!
Merry Christmas to you both!!
Same to you & Happy New Year! 🫶
Merry Christmas!
& Happy new year, we appreciate you! 💕

Thank you for making me laugh so much. I watch you for your honesty. 😅😅😅
I’m so guilty of the candle lighting myself! 🤣 Happy Holidays however you celebrate it.
Happy Holiday Lovelies! You are all inspiring in your own ways! We appreciate you very much! Do you read our description box? 🎄⭐️💕
Yes. 🤗
@@Frenchcountryfriends yes. I feel you.

Oh Jenni , we’d all be happier if we didn’t compare ourselves to those on social media ! Your French home is beautiful as is ! Merry Christmas to you , Justin and Bibi !🎄❤️
When I was a teenager I always felt as though I was a comedian in another life…perhaps not anymore. 🤣 Have a lovely holiday however you celebrate it.
So refreshing. We hear you, thanks for sharing. In New Zealand we celebrate very differently as it is generally warm and sunny. Wishing you both peace and joy. Celia
Sending you light and love! Enjoy your beautiful Spring! ⭐️
True....France has the best yogurt and butter! J'aime beaucoup 😍
Miam Miam!
Enjoyed this video. There is so much expectations on us to decorate during the holidays and so much more for RUclips channels. Love the simplicity
Happy New Year to you and your beloved! 💕
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays & New Year! How are you spending your holidays? It’ll be Justin, Bibi myself and our lemon tree. 🤣 Wow another year gone by already….

Glad you enjoyed it! Another reason why I’m in the little business of resell! Let’s buy used as much as possible! 😊

Always from the heart! I’ll pop over to your IG and see if I can get a sneak peak into your decorating! It’s Xmas in your new home!!! 🕯️❄️🎄⭐️
One of the best videos you’ve ever done❤❤❤❤
Ah thanks !
You are the sweetest Mrs. Grinch.
Love your simple decorations! Merry Christmas to the three of you.
Thank you! You too! 🎄
You are in my head girl. Couldn't agree more. You cracked me up.
Love the Christmas lemons.
And the tape couldn't have been more perfect.
