Also, maybe for next year, my grandmother crocheted these beautiful snowflakes which we used as Christmas tree decorations and became heirlooms. She’d pin them to a board and spray them with something to stiffen them.
Tips on the tree and cats. I left the pieces of the tree on the floor for a few hours so they could explore. By the time I put it up the tree was old news. Ha Also- you can buy a spray that’s citrus and some other herbs that cats HATE the smell. Spray it anywhere you want them to avoid. I’m working on becoming a professional cat trainer! Haha
Everything looks so cute! You could also take the long branch on the top of the tree and bend it down to clip the cardinal on it to be the tree topper.
I was there last weekend to see the Christmas decorations. Enjoyed myself even walked across Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy your videos. Olive is really growing. ❤
I love watching people decorate for holidays! One thing, the garland. I saw a shorts where another creator puts white painting tape on the wall and then a clear command strip on top. That way, you can easily remove it when the holiday season is over and you don't have any holes. This was only top of mind because I just moved and never want to do the "move out deep clean" ever again.
ADORBES! My dog loves gnomes and believe it or not dollar tree has nice ones this year- so random lol. I am an all winter, all Christmas gal so I am all for it !
Also, random suggestion. I love your tours around New York. You should do one with one of your friends but doing Christmas kinda things. Honestly, you’re probably already planning to do this, ha.
Loved this! ❤Cute tree. I have home-made ornaments from our kids & grandkids and also my husband’s mom & grandma. I also have red cardinals on mine-one of my fave birds & I wrote a book with one on the cover. I love decorating it each year, have hot cocoa with marshmallows, & play Christmas music. I have two cats & they both love laying under it on the soft skirt and under the lights, but also have knocked down decorations at times, lol. I watch them around it (the hooks…ribbons to hang ornaments are better)! There is nice ambience with the fireplace videos (I think Netflix). It’s very soothing & I’ve fallen asleep to it! Nice job! I bet NYC is beautiful at Christmas, especially with the snow. Cute pj’s!
That was the cosiest little intro 😭 I'm already in the Christmas mood after spending the night watching Christmas movies at my sister's house so this vlog is perfect right now! 🎄
Omg. I 💯 talk to my cats like that too!! Like what are we gonna do today guys? I think I’m gonna work. You’re gonna nap and play wrestlemania? We good w that? Cool cool 😎
I think you made it look festive and fun with your holiday touches sprinkled throughout. If the size of the tree still bugs you, perhaps consider a small box to elevate it up a little higher.
Absolutely get a platform for your tree haha please don't leave her on that cold floor. But also tip for the ribbon: you want to slowly twist the ribbon as you put it around your tree so it has a soft wrapping affect rather than looking like a mummy. That's what my mom always does and it looks like a Macy's tree :)
Alexis "im not doing Vlogmas this Year" Also Alexis *posts 4-5 videos in a row* P.S. This is not a complaint whatsoever, keep it up! Also love to see Olive and Bennet getting along so well
HAHAA! you are honestly adorable!! you can also get those narrow/tall christmas trees, so its not so big but its PERFECT for apartments. just so its more of a statement :)
My mum gave me a small blue Christmas tree when I moved out & I decorated with some of the Christmas decorations but it's mainly of my collection of keyrings that I have. Mainly, pop vinyl keyrings. Naww, not big brother Bennett giving Lil Olive Roo kisses or a bath 🥺
From one cat mom to another, invest in a tree stand collar (especially if you ever decide to use real trees in the future); it’ll limit the cats’ access to the tree and prevent climbing/breaking of ornaments. And personally, for a small tree like yours, I’d set it on top of a side table to give it some height.
Not me spotting a pumpkin spice latte candle on the table and immediately looking up if it’s available in Australia 🇦🇺 It is! I just ordered it plus a candy apple body wash because I’m obsessed with fall and Christmas scented products! Also - I’m in team tree could go on a stool 🎉
Wait there was a reddit thread about you? 😂 I love every video you put out. You are just living life and figuring it out. I also love your intro!!! 😂😂😂 I hope to be on your level one day with creativity.
Your tree looks great. If you ever want it to look taller, put it on a box and drape a piece of fabric or a sheet over the box. If you need the box to be sturdier, stack books on floor and place box over the books for a stronger base. I found gnome pillows from Pottery Barn. Easy to store away. Ck it out for gnomes. Burn some scented candles like Thyme Frasier Fir or one of Bath & Body Works Christmas scents and enjoy your December.
My friend was just telling me that his cat ruined their Christmas tree lol 😬 and he has to buy a new one. Let's hope Bennett and Olive cooperate & don't go after the cardinal haha 💕🥰
Y'know what would be the cherry on the cake? Those colourful LED lights to stick round the back of your tv. I bought some last years from amazon and now my housemates prefer to watch tv in my room. Right, tomorrow's task for me is......decorate!
how about putting your garland around your mirror - does the tree fit on the stool? do you have a board you could put on top of the stool to carry the tree? why not put your dryer in the office to make more room during the holidays and put your extra placemats on your coffee table.
Here's the thing, I wouldn't care what the internet says.. it's your home, it's your budget and it's your space, and in terms of storage and otherwise. I haven't put up a Christmas tree in a decade because I have two cats who are 13 and like to get into mischief and being high places if you know what I mean. Do I have a tree yes do I have decor yes am I going to put it up no! I put up little touches here and there by the way I'm 411 and my tree is 6 ft 1 😂 I got it at Walmart for $24.98 unboxing day it was originally $200 something with the white lights. So no I'm not getting rid of because I'll use it eventually..
I've had cats and Christmas trees my whole life. Two words. . . fishing line. You can buy invisible fishing line at Home Depot, Dicks, anywhere like that. Take a long piece and tie around the top of your tree and then put it over to the back of the dresser. Put a thumbtack in the back of the dresser and tie the fishing line to the thumb tack. Same thing to the coat rack...fishing line on the tree and all the way to the coat rack. Thumb tack. Repeat. They may play in the tree but it will not fall over. Wahhhlahhh.
Hi! My husband and I are coming to New York for Christmas-are there any specific places/activities you’d recommend for people coming to the city during this time of the year-like what are Christmasy things to do that will be a vibe?
Good job with the decorations! The tree looks great! But I personally would’ve put it where the mirror is at. It would be a great focal points when coming in through the front door.
I think people need to stop judging what others do during the holidays. The holidays are great events for everyone. For instance, I grew up with alcoholic parents and having money for Christmas stressed them out so they were drunk every night, which lead to us (their children) having to parent them and call the police for domestic violence. I still hate this 💩 45 years later. I still have PTSD. Leave others alone because you never know what they’re going through.
🙏🙏Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦 of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God 🙏..
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.🙏
Wow that's nice She makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me.
I really can’t believe someone would go out of their way to write about you and how terrible they think your decorating skills are. Imagine how miserable they are in their lives? You should feel sorry for that person…They are hiding behind the keyboard eating donuts laying in bed and they probably don’t even work… I’m sorry but that’s how I feel. Lol
100% move that tree to on top of a table or on the wall with the mirror. You are amazing and I appreciate you so much. Merry Christmas 🎄
The stool...
merry christmas!
I love your decorations but I would try putting the tree on the stool. Just my opinion.
@alexiseldredge Merry Christmas, Alexis, Bennet & Olive!
Alexis give us the link for the Etsy store! I love your handmade stockings!! And also: Christmas decorations are 10/10!! ❤
Awww! Bennett licking Olive in the outro of the video 🥺 So sweet!
they are besties
So cute! As a mom to a twentysomething you’re call to your mom was priceless 😂❤
hahaha
I agree! 😊
Your tree is perfectly sized and adorable. The best part is the cardinal from your grandma. Hopefully it is on your tree for decades to come
You could crochet a skirt for the tree!?
OMG YES
Also, maybe for next year, my grandmother crocheted these beautiful snowflakes which we used as Christmas tree decorations and became heirlooms. She’d pin them to a board and spray them with something to stiffen them.
You look great in red - definitely a color that makes you glow!
The decorations look amazing 🤩 cozy holiday vlogs are my fav ❤❤
You did it!! Good job on your decorating Alexis! You inspired me to get started myself!! Merry Christmas!!❤
Your tree looks nice. You might want to put it on top of a box or something just to give it a little height. ❤

Love it! Perfect for your space
I was there last weekend to see the Christmas decorations. Enjoyed myself even walked across Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy your videos. Olive is really growing. ❤
she is about to hit 3 pounds!
Another fun and inexpensive decoration for Christmas is to wrap your pictures on the wall. Seriously. So easy, cheap and impactful.

That way, you can easily remove it when the holiday season is over and you don't have any holes.

I would have called my mom too lol 😂 And the garland around the rv returns!!

Omggg yes i got a tree for the first time this year as well and its giving my entire home christmas 🥹🎄

Like what are we gonna do today guys? I think I’m gonna work.
You’re gonna nap and play wrestlemania? We good w that? Cool cool 😎
As the mom of a 27 year old daughter, my heart ❤️ when you called your Mom to ask how to do the ribbon on the tree.
I think you made it look festive and fun with your holiday touches sprinkled throughout. If the size of the tree still bugs you, perhaps consider a small box to elevate it up a little higher.
Super cute intro! Love the Christmas decorating!
You did a good job sweetie. Merry Christmas
Your decorations look so pretty and festive.
thank you!
Looks great! Nice work🎄
Xmas trees smell so great!
My All Time Comfort RUclipsr As Always Alexis 😁💖💖 May God Bless You Always Always sending you lots of love

People are on reddit talking about your Christmas decorating skills? OMG!
magical, aesthetic and cozy Christmas decorations!!! ❤❤❤
Beautiful Christmas decorations 🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
i love alexis eldredgemas
🌲🎄✨ I love this channel 🤩😍
Alexis "im not doing Vlogmas this Year"
Also Alexis *posts 4-5 videos in a row*
P.S. This is not a complaint whatsoever, keep it up!
Also love to see Olive and Bennet getting along so well
LOL i don't want the pressure of vlogmas but i also have a lot of ideas 😂
@@alexiseldredgeand I'm here for them 💞
HAHAA! you are honestly adorable!! you can also get those narrow/tall christmas trees, so its not so big but its PERFECT for apartments. just so its more of a statement :)
ALSO!!! cut the ribbon in longish pieces so you can put the pieces in and out of the branches and its SOOOO much easier to use!!
Christmas tree and decorations are great!!
Keep cats off counters. They stand in their litterbox and transfer that to your food prep area.
You could put the tree on top on the stool. Keeps out of the cats way and a bit taller. Drape a sheet or table cloth over the stool to hide it
maybe...it feels too tall haha
My mum gave me a small blue Christmas tree when I moved out & I decorated with some of the Christmas decorations but it's mainly of my collection of keyrings that I have. Mainly, pop vinyl keyrings.
Naww, not big brother Bennett giving Lil Olive Roo kisses or a bath 🥺
I thought you weren’t doing vlogmas! Yay for an unexpected video!!!
haha i am not, but today is my normal posting day!
@@alexiseldredge lol! I guess the cold I got recently has hit my brain 😅

You Crack me up-Crawling with Gnomes!
This intro! Top teir 😂 love you Alexis
Hi Alexis how are you happy Tuesday afternoon and happy vlogmas day to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
I got to do mine soon thanks for inspiration
Not me spotting a pumpkin spice latte candle on the table and immediately looking up if it’s available in Australia 🇦🇺
It is!
I just ordered it plus a candy apple body wash because I’m obsessed with fall and Christmas scented products!
Also - I’m in team tree could go on a stool 🎉
Wait there was a reddit thread about you? 😂 I love every video you put out. You are just living life and figuring it out. I also love your intro!!! 😂😂😂 I hope to be on your level one day with creativity.
LOL thank you!
Decorations look great!!! The only place you missed was a center piece on the coffee table. Merry vlogmas🎄
thank you!
Yass I love yours and Chelsea vlogmas let’s gooo❤❤❤
love love love
Love the decorations
Your tree looks great. If you ever want it to look taller, put it on a box and drape a piece of fabric or a sheet over the box. If you need the box to be sturdier, stack books on floor and place box over the books for a stronger base. I found gnome pillows from Pottery Barn. Easy to store away. Ck it out for gnomes. Burn some scented candles like Thyme Frasier Fir or one of Bath & Body Works Christmas scents and enjoy your December.
You could put the tree on a stool
Or stack of books :) I have a small tree and in some spaces I liked it more on top of something
maybe i'll get a stool, the bar stool i have feels too tall lol
Girl! That tree belongs on a table 🤣
LOL
The tree on top of the stool would give it the feel of being bigger
If you want the tree to look taller just sit it on a side table or whatever you have. Looks great!!
Looks great :)
Don’t look now, but Bennett is grooming Olive 😅 so sweet!
Why not put it on the barstool or the middle of the coffee table? Love everything you did!! Beautiful!
My friend was just telling me that his cat ruined their Christmas tree lol 😬 and he has to buy a new one. Let's hope Bennett and Olive cooperate & don't go after the cardinal haha 💕🥰
Y'know what would be the cherry on the cake? Those colourful LED lights to stick round the back of your tv. I bought some last years from amazon and now my housemates prefer to watch tv in my room. Right, tomorrow's task for me is......decorate!
Nice job!!!
Put the tree on top of a end table etc. it will look taller. 🎄🎄🎄
All looks cute
I'm Intrigue 😅. Heading over to last Year's video and see what they were talking about 🤣.
Now you need to keep up the tradition and put Pitt Bull above a door haha
Aloha that was a good decorate on this video
Try the tree on the bar stool.
Reddit is the wildest place 😂 Your decorations look beautiful!
🎄❄
First as always!❤
how about putting your garland around your mirror - does the tree fit on the stool? do you have a board you could put on top of the stool to carry the tree? why not put your dryer in the office to make more room during the holidays and put your extra placemats on your coffee table.
Target has great gnomes. Also, Amazon. I have a whole collection that I got from those 2.
Looking great! One suggestion (of course feel free to ignore): could the dryer not go in the spare room?
Here's the thing, I wouldn't care what the internet says.. it's your home, it's your budget and it's your space, and in terms of storage and otherwise.

I have that size from Michaels decorate a box and sit it on
🎄🎄🎄❤️
You did a great job. I have a 4 foot tree in my small apartment. I have a small table I set it on.
Girl, two words, command hooks! Put that hammer away😂😂
Why not put the tree under the round mirror? That way Emily won’t catch her clothes or backpack on it❤
I've had cats and Christmas trees my whole life. Two words. . . fishing line. You can buy invisible fishing line at Home Depot, Dicks, anywhere like that. Take a long piece and tie around the top of your tree and then put it over to the back of the dresser. Put a thumbtack in the back of the dresser and tie the fishing line to the thumb tack. Same thing to the coat rack...fishing line on the tree and all the way to the coat rack. Thumb tack. Repeat. They may play in the tree but it will not fall over. Wahhhlahhh.
Just a thought but if you did Olive & Emily in the same colors it will look like Emily owns Olive and you own only Bennit ❤😊
Hi! My husband and I are coming to New York for Christmas-are there any specific places/activities you’d recommend for people coming to the city during this time of the year-like what are Christmasy things to do that will be a vibe?
❤❤
My youngest cat climbed my 9 foot tree the other day. It literally gave me a heart attack 😂
Maybe put the tree on the stool and wrap the stool in some kind of Christmas skirt. JMO😊🌲
🎅❤️
Good job with the decorations! The tree looks great! But I personally would’ve put it where the mirror is at. It would be a great focal points when coming in through the front door.
If you put your tree on top of a side table, it will get that much bigger
for decorations, usually hardware stores have a lot of them! maybe you'd be able to find a gnome there

The one time I had a real rooted Christmas tree, my cats climbed it, and they tipped over and caused mess for weeks
oh noooooo
Hi! Did you have stuff on top of your cabinets in last apartment? Jw, no offense.
yep! much needed storage in tiny nyc apartments
Maybe you could put tge tree under the round mirror just move the coffe table over
Pit the tree on the stool!
it felt too tall haha
