Hope you guys enjoy todays new video PHEW this took everything in me to get live today so doing a little celebratory dance over here hahah! Happy December guys!!!
Hello MaCenna: Thank you for this early December decorating post! We just started pulling out our Christmas items this weekend---old and new---and have been struggling to get started with the actually decorating process....and I'm not sure why. THIS VIDEO has helped get us inspired!!! Your new tree is perfect and your content is ALWAYS SO refreshing, enjoyable and INSPIRING. Everything looks amazing! THANK YOU for all the effort and ideas!
Thank you so very much MaCenna for this wonderful video. It has brought me so much joy. The gallery wall is perfection. Merry, Merry Christmas to you, Romeo and Cade.
Another gorgeous job, MaCenna! As a former nurse and mother-in-law of retired NYC firefighter, please purchase a fire blanket and keep it within arm's length of the stove. Also, a friendly PSA to all. Please do not use the disposable foil pans to cook turkeys. As much as I love the convenience, they are not built to handle the weight of a turkey. One of my daughters started a fire in her kitchen two years ago when she was removing the turkey from her oven. It tipped and started a grease fire. My other daughter started one last week. She was making a turkey and there was a hole in her foil pan that she did not notice. She also started a fire. I wish all a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season.
Michaels have those village houses 50% off. They're not cheap even at that, but they're real keepsakes and look so charming. I loved the bakery. Well, I loved them all but at 74 it's too late to start collecting....
A lot of nostalgia watching the way you decorate. When I had my house,my tree had pearls and I used the deep red ribbon on framed art as well. I also made bows with long streamers on the door frames and pinned Xmas cards to them. My husband took our boys to a tree farm and cut our tree. The fragrance was lovely. The artificial trees are so much nicer nowadays as well as the greenery is more life like. Now my tree is artificial and a table top. The pre-lit light burned out long ago. I keep a string of lights on it now. It is just me enjoying the decorations as I am alone. Your home and decorations are so very lovely. I just love seeing eager little Kinsley helping as much as she can. What joy with Caid. Looking forward to the 12 days of vlogmas.
This is how you do a Christmas Holiday 'Decorate with me' video! MaCenna, I expected nothing less. Your space is absolutely perfection, your video quality is TOP TEIR, I'm obsessed.
Girl, WHAT?!?! What epic decorations! What a beautiful Christmas mood. I feel so inspiried and calm at the same time! AMAZING job! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
You definately accomplished the traditional-vintage look for your tree. It looks so elegant and beautiful. I absolutely love the pearl garland. Just lovely! ❤
When you are not a xmas person but see Macenna's video and want to start decorating for xmas. You always inspire me to want to get up and do something. Everything looks so beautiful. 🥰
I absolutely love your individual style and curated look. You’re not doing the hokey tik tok tension rod or pool noodle looks to be viral. There’s an elegance and thoughtful look when it comes to your design and it’s nice to see you stick to your own vision
@@jessicajordan680 they just use pool noodles to put on fire mantels so it will grip the edge and then you cover with plastic flowers etc. It is pretty handy but i appreciate she isn't doing that for the sake of doing it. She has a certain way of doing things. That being said if she does try it I'm sure shell hjave her own twist
Best practice when setting up your tree each year. Fluff each section before adding the next level up. Also, wear some leather garden gloves and long sleeves to avoid scratches and just more comfortable. The tree and decor are beautiful. 🎄😍
Thank you for decorating today. You made my 75th birthday merry and bright!. Don't forget to get Cade his first ornament for his collection, so that when he moves out on his own he will have very special ornaments for his own tree. Happy holidays to your family.
Stunning!!🎄Love the garland over the kitchen hood!! Makes me think you could have some type of decor there all year round! It really adds texture/interest to that part of the kitchen!! ❤
Everything is beautiful and I love your vlog, please remember to say a prayer for those who are still in tents through no fault of there’s who lost everything in the hurricane …so glad I am comfortable warm in my home..I sent donations…please pray for anyone less fortunate and may we all give what we can..god bless us all..
Hi, I'm Italian and I always watch videos like these to get ideas. And here you are, I've never seen you and while I watch you I remember the videos of Christmas-themed settings when you want to create atmosphere, fireplace and stuff like that... Very good, creative and elegant. So familiar and cozy. Gorgeus! I wish you to spend a peaceful time with your loved ones and I understood that you had a baby Congratulations to him👏🏻😀
love the Christmas tree by the window with the garland on the window panes the only thing missing is snow the winter village is the final touch in the holiday spirit.🥰
Sitting here laughing as I watch her decorate the tree. Knowing that next year everything changes. Cade will be running around and oops there goes the tree. My little one pulled the tree right down. We finally have secured it so it wouldn’t fall and put most ornaments up high. She is extraordinary in her decorating. Cheers
This was so peaceful 🩷 I’m watching this trying to distract from the owies I have. Fell asleep towards the end of the kitchen scene. It was truly magical lol and I’m grateful for that. I later watched the rest of the video
Love that you are collecting and using village pieces. I've been collecting them for years and so many people poopoo them. I inherited some from family also and have almost 100 pieces total. Everything looks so beautiful, great job as usual
I love all your little touches during the holidays! By far though my favorite this year is the Christmas touch you did to your gallery wall. So creative🎄
I knew it was gonna be good! Was excited to watch. You never disappoint! So beautiful, warm and elegant. Hope you have a Christmas filled with love and peace. God bless your home and your sweet little family ♥️
I love that you’re building your village! I inherited mine and it means so much to me but it’s looked the same my whole life. Seeing the village split apart, getting just different ideas, is so helpful!
The kitchen garland is just beautiful. I love the stairs too - my stair garland gets bigger each year as more things get added to it! It’s my favourite bit of our Christmas Decorations. Now I’m off to buy some pine cones and snow spray!
The fireplace back to where you placed the Christmas tree Chef kiss, adding the touch of bows to the gallery wall with the garland of the staircase with the stockings. This is the most peaceful Christmas feeling great job.❤❤❤❤❤
These choices really showed off your design style and creativity. I especially liked your idea for the gallery wall paintings. Lovely and understated--each one a discovery. I loved the look of the snow for the village! Perfect! I'm looking forward to vlogmas and what unfolds! Best to you and your family this season 🎄
What a gorgeous idea with your gallery wall! I’ve seen people wrap pictures like a present but never a gallery wall like this, beautiful. You have made all of your garlands so special. I have loved watching your Christmas town grow over the years also ❤️
MaCenna, your home is absolutely stunning! You always do such a fabulous job with whatever it is you do. Your Christmas decor is absolutely gorgeous and the way you put every piece is so detailed and perfect. I hope you have a wonderful, blessed day. 🙏❤️🎄❄️
This is all so beautiful!!! I can't wait to see next year's decor with toddler Cade running around pulling on everything - you'll do a great job then, too!
Oh wow! , about the staircase. It's amazing how you created the look. Your baby is too adorable. This is my 1st time seeing a glimpse of the baby. Congratulations.
It’s so calming, relaxing and magical 🥰🥹😍 I wish I could decorate my house like this. My eyes always shines when I see your content, your contagious smile 😍
Love the whole look you put together, it is all beautiful. My style has always been burgundy/cranberry and green, with an old world style, so everything you put together spoke to me. I suggest you make sure your railing is always usable even with the decor, in case you or your mom need to hold on with the baby. I have RA and always need to use railings, but run into that problem at Christmas. I always decorated, just putting the decor to one side.
Your house looks gorgeous , makes me feel all cozy and nostalgic inside and takes me back in time when I was growing up as a child . Your village is just perfect ! ♥️🎄♥️
I’ve been looking forward to it - thank you for all your efforts to share with us! Your videos are always beautifully done. Your home looks so cozy and festive for the season.
Wonderful and fabulous as always, extra loving the vintage and victorian vibes this year! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this and all of your videos. It truly shows ❤
Oh wow, my dad collected all of the department 56 Christmas village pieces. That’s what your village reminds me of. He recently passed away, and watching you set up your village made my heart hurt with nostalgia. I miss him so so much.
This was so good! I definitely love the swagged branches better. Your ideas are always thoughtful and curated and for that, it's a masterpiece when finished❤
For the paper tape get 2 saucers, dampen a sponge or cloth place it in plate then put 2nd plate upside down on top after putting the tape through. Hold plates with rubber band.
i love watching you make your dreams come true. Your home, your family, your holiday. Sometimes I feel like my dreams are so out of reach and it makes me really happy to see you fulfill yours
Your house looks wonderful MaCenna. What incredible backdrops to take Cade’s first Christmas photos against. You have truly inspired me with this video and given me some Christmas Spirit which has sadly been missing for a couple of years. Thank you and Merry Christmas to your little family 🎄🎅🏻🇦🇺
We do pearls as well! I have always done pearls after the lights and then ornaments. It makes it a little easier and then you don’t have work around ornaments.
Every year I buy a real wreath and put it over my kitchen sink between my pendant lights. You’re at the kitchen sink doing so much and it smells so good. It’s the only real greenery I have in my house. L O L. When cooking in the kitchen and the heat, then it helps for the kitchen to smell really good!
4:28 I absolutely love your hair framing your face like it is in this part of the video. You would look so great with shoulder length hair & curtain bangs!! Of course, your long hair is stunning, too! ❤❤❤
and Mrs T i just dont know where to start. Everything you have decorated with is amazing looking so beautiful and the christmas village this year looks so pretty with all the little people added sooooooooooooooooooo well done
Hope you guys enjoy todays new video PHEW this took everything in me to get live today so doing a little celebratory dance over here hahah! Happy December guys!!!

Right, buy a roasting pan…
Or make sure you put a sheet pan underneath and lift it by the sheet pan.
Looks so beautiful Macenna! I love the little village scene, I need to start looking out for those 🥰😍
Love it all!!!❤❤❤❤
I thought the same thing ❤
Hi Drew🥰 That’s why you two are such good friends cause you both have the classic beautiful taste in decor ✨

You definately accomplished the traditional-vintage look for your tree. It looks so elegant and beautiful. I absolutely love the pearl garland. Just lovely! ❤
Knowing your Mom is an artist would love her to do a vintage Santa scene for above your fireplace!! Your decorating is amazing !
You MaCenna are a Once in a Lifetime kind of Woman .. Everything that you touch and imagine turns to gold.
Romeo and Cade are very lucky to have you.❤
I commented above you but almost said EXACT same thing "EVERYTHING she touches turns to gold " !!!!!!!
I love watching your girl Kinsley being Momma's little helper when you do your craft.
I enjoy watching Kinsley inspect every box! Looks wonderful!
You outdid yourself this year MaCenna! Wow wow wow, so stunning! ❤️
When you are not a xmas person but see Macenna's video and want to start decorating for xmas. You always inspire me to want to get up and do something. Everything looks so beautiful. 🥰

Gasp ! How could you even use MaCenna's decor and pool noodle decorations in the same sentence !!!!!!! ?
Pool noodles?? Wait...WHAT? 😟 I don't tiktok! What is this abomination?! 😢
@@Donna-jz2ft 🤣

Everything about this video was perfection! I have been watching lots of Christmas decorate with me channels, BUT Nothing compares to yours.
Looks stunning! Yes, the pearls do work. It all came together beautifully!
That gallery wall was top tier! I love how it turned out with the garland on the stair rail.
Best practice when setting up your tree each year. Fluff each section before adding the next level up. Also, wear some leather garden gloves and long sleeves to avoid scratches and just more comfortable. The tree and decor are beautiful. 🎄😍

Such great creative ideas. I’ve never seen the gallery wall done like that before. It all looks very festive.
Everything came out beautifully very magical. Can’t say it enough Kinsley so precious ❤️🌲
this video was so relaxing. I watched this while sipping on my coffee this morning.
The kitchen transformation is really highlighted here! Such a dream!
I absolutely love how involved Kingsley is ♥️. The house looks gorgeous ♥️🎄
Kinsley is like your little elf helper, following your every mood 😊❤
Love that you are collecting and using village pieces. I've been collecting them for years and so many people poopoo them. I inherited some from family also and have almost 100 pieces total. Everything looks so beautiful, great job as usual

Just from the cover of this video, I know this will be gorgeous.. grabbing a cup of tea, lighting a candle and settling in for some holiday coziness!
That's what I did, too! Except I already had the candle lit and mine was hot chocolate...🥰
Omg yes the red color with the blue in the kitchen is gorgeous ❤
I love that Cade will grow up remembering that village every Christmas

Love it all. When you said too much green around the fireplace, I could see a vintage winter scene in your large artwork.
I enjoyed this video so much! Loved all your decorating throughout your home this year! So festive and cozy! It all came together
Every area you decorated is magical and beautiful! You are so talented. Have a wonderful holiday for Cade's first Christmas.
