Only “tacky” trees for me! They’re just how Christmas and my life seem to always be. A nice mixture of memories and fancy and funny, and a whole lot of Christmas cheer.
My actual tree is tacky tree :') fully accepting its tacky and mix matched - but all the decorations are memories! Our tree topper is scooby doo dressed as an angel eating pizza!
That goose ornament reminds me of the two sisters from the Aristocats whose name slips my mind at the moment, and it made me smile. Also that Lilo ornament is gorgeous
I love a tacky tree! Ours has always been this way. Each year we all get a new special ornament to put on the tree. Some light up, some play music or sounds and others just sit there!
You call it "tacky tree." I call it "the tree my family sets up every year." It's definitely tacky af and we adore it. XD Love all of the ornaments! They're so pretty. :)
I love all the Disney/novelty decorations! If I lived on my own and had complete control over decorating a Christmas tree this would be exactly how I would decorate it!
My favorite tradition for Christmas growing up, was my sister and I got to pick out a new ornament every year. So our tree was quite tacky! Tacky tree screams Christmas to me and I loved seeing yours! It’s beautiful!
Being Muslim I’ve never celebrated Christmas in the traditional sense (just my birthday on the same day and a Christmas dinner too) so it’s been very very interesting to see the differences between the trees! Never occurred to me to make them smell nice either? Learning so many new things!! 🎄
As a former Warrington resident, I 100% know exactly where Ollie’s sister bought that personalised decoration... the little pop up stall in the Golden Square outside WHSmith/Next 😂😂
I have that camera decoration! I'm a keen photographer and I saw someone take a photo of it when they were going round TK Maxx. I knew I wouldn't be going anytime soon and so this person kindly bought me one and sent it to me and now it's proudly on our tree.
so many sweet decorations, I used to watch sorcerers apprentice a lot when I was little, I have a cuddly toy one in the robe and wizards hat! the llama one is so sweet! Merry christmas Carrie and Ollie and Edgar!
I love a tacky tree. I too have two trees and like you secretly prefer the colourful, memory yet personal ‘tacky’ tree 🌲. Thanks for doing vlogmas, loving it again!! Happy Christmas 🎄 x
Our main tree is tacky tree. We just feel a colour scheme is too limiting. Mum needs to be able to put up the actually horrible decorations we made when we were 4. And like where would the dinosaur decorations go??
I love both your trees, but I think tacky tree is my favourite....mainly because I absolutely adore Stitch too 😍 I, however don't have any Stitch decorations for my tree.... what I do have on my tree though are Kevin the carrot and his family from Aldi! Merry Christmas Carrie xx
Our tree is just like tacky tree, we have our kids 1st Christmas baubles which the oldest is now 20 then most of the rest are disney decorations our 3 kids pick a new one each year. You made our eldest so happy when we met you after Heather's he also loves stitch so we have a few on our tree x
My mum's christmas tree is always a tacky tree - I used to be the one decorating it every year until I moved to the US, and I miss it a lot. Her first request after I moved was to get the tackiest Texas cowboy boot ornament (I live in Dallas) I could find for her tree! Silly glass ornaments are my favorite honestly, and I'm looking forward to having a real tree of our own next year hopefully, that I can fill with jellyfish and mushrooms and all sorts of random sparkly things!
I thought I was the only one who had separate for different themes 😂 I have my nice, rustic, farmhouse tree, and then I have my crazy, bright colored Star Wars tree! I technically have a third mini "nostalgia" one in my bedroom with my childhood decorations as well. There are proportionally more trees in my apartment than rooms 🤷♀️
I love kitschy cluttered brightly colored Christmas. It's what makes a space feel like a home for me. I have strong opinions that the lights I use must be multicolored, they must include pink, and they must not include purple or the dark blue you sometimes get from modern LED lights. The pinky orangey glow is what I crave this time of year. Our new ornaments each year when we were growing up were something that reflected our interests that year. So I got Tweety and Pocahontas, Winnie the Pooh, etc. I also have some lovely nostalgic ones like the one I affectionately call Hobo Santa. Santa's napping on a park bench looking very rosy. I just glued him back together this year, he's from 1993.
I don't actually like colour themed trees. I have yet to put up my own tree as an adult but when I do, it will be like the one I grew up with. All the ornaments are either handmade (by my siblings and I as kids or by adults who actually knew what they were doing) or have some other story behind them.
Going through a difficult mental health time right now and I just want to say these videos really are a nice part of the day. Thank you for your videos Carrie !
Love the llama decoration. I’ve got a llama Christmas jumper that’s going to make an appearance in the next few days and a couple of years ago we had a llama themed Christmas tree which was great!!!
I love the tacky Christmas tree and your blue and gold tree but I love them new decorations 😍that little goose omg I couldn’t have left him on the shelf 🙈
My Christmas tree at the moment is starting to look like tacky tree as me and my partner have started a tradition with our son to buy a special bauble for each of us each year... the first year we brought one with a picture of him for his first Christmas and initials ones for us and last year we did favourite animals a penguin for me and a dog for my son and quite possibly the most random bauble I have ever brought a shark in a Santa hat for my partner but I love them all we haven’t brought this years baubles yet due to lockdown but it brings me such joy to put them on the tree each year ❤️
Oh my gosh, I LOVE Tacky Tree! :-) Love love love the Disney ornaments. My favourite non-princess disney movies are Lady and the Tramp (of which I just ordered a 65th anniversary ornament of on Shop Disney, it is on its way now aaahhhh) and Lilo & Stitch! So I'm very pleased to see all the L&S ornaments, omg that Lilo is adorable! We were supposed to go for breakfast at Ohana when we were going to WDW back in April...I bought a Stitch t-shirt for my daughter and I have a Lilo dress and I was gonna bring my Scrump doll and put a Hawaiian flower clip in my hair... sadly we had to cancel our trip ...because...2020. But hopefully soon we will be able to go on that trip and I will be bounding as Lilo and I will think of you ;-) Our Christmas tree is black and all the ornaments are mostly white or silver, there's a lot of glitter too and there are now also a few dark pink ones(a Mickey head macaron for example). Most of the ornaments have Tinkerbell in/on them, we bought a lot of them like 9 years ago in Disneyland Paris because I didn't know when or even if we would ever go back but we did go back, almost each year, and we made it tradition to buy a new Christmas ornament there every time we visited, even if it was in Summer, we went into the Christmas shop in the Castle and looked out for the perfect one to take home with us :) OMG I LOVE THE PASCAL ONE! I missed out on that one but I did manage to find Pascal hanging from the lantern, which also lights up. :-) And then there are white lights in the tree and white, feather boa's..I think you'd like my tree.
Putting our tree up tomorrow (this far into December as I’ve just come home from uni). Colour scheme is going to be blue and silver and I’m very excited.
My tree is always covered in Disney, I was given the stitch tangled in lights decoration for my birthday this year. I didn’t realise Olly is in Frozen, I was meant to see Cinderella and Frozen on the same day, that would have been funny 😊🎄🎭
I love Tacky Tree, I would have severely missed it! I too put one up this year, no regrets. I am also a "it's the only one so I have to have it" kind of girl. It's why there is an octopus keyring hanging from my wardrobe...
I love your tree so much every year I see it - ours is very similar, an odd accumulation of every single decoration we've managed to acquire over the years haha
I adore looking at other peoples trees and seeing the themes they have. My big living room tree is a mishmash of ornaments but mostly woodland creature themed: mice, hedgehogs, foxes, bears. We have a mini tree in our office I'm going to make miniature video game themed ornaments for and I have a white tree in our bedroom with pink lights on it, another mini tree and it has cookies and cupcakes and gummy bears. It's a sweet themed tree.
my tree is full of random disney (my fave ones being the Stitch & Angel decorations that I got from Primark) , space, food, marvel, tech & gaming ornaments & I love it got to love a random tacky tree
Lol I have nearly the same set up, except my two trees are just on the two sides of the tv :) one is all shades of silver, gold, champagne, and the other is very random and colourful and I love it. No one can take my two trees away.
I thought you were gonna rhyme when you showed us the goose! “I just love him so much, I think he’s so sweet, he’s wearing a scarf...and boots on his feet?” Oh so close Carrie!
Love both trees! I've got coordinated tree but with bonus memory ornaments! Which tree do the presents go under?! My only suggestion to make tacky tree even tackier would be multi coloured fairy lights!
Our tree every year is not unlike your tacky tree. I don’t see tacky, I see magical and smile inspiring. Merry Christmas Carrie!
omg same 😂😂 this gives me validation
I was a cast member in the Disney store for 2 and a half years and seeing all the old decorations from years gone by made me so happy 😁😁
I feel like Carrie just vomits her personality onto the tacky tree and that’s what makes it the best tree in the world!
Only “tacky” trees for me! They’re just how Christmas and my life seem to always be. A nice mixture of memories and fancy and funny, and a whole lot of Christmas cheer.
Tacky tree is BEAUTIFUL and i say the more random, the better
My actual tree is tacky tree :') fully accepting its tacky and mix matched - but all the decorations are memories! Our tree topper is scooby doo dressed as an angel eating pizza!
I aspire to be like Carrie’s Tacky Tree, they’re just tangible perfection.
Sounds more like a tree of memories than just a 'tacky' tree, I can see why you'd enjoy decorating that one.
Tacky tree is such a gorgeous patchwork of memories and meanings. Adore.
the goose decoration reminds me of Beatrix potter's Jemima puddleduck

I remember watching vlogs where you received the moose and the Mickey baubles. So lovely to see them on the tree :) I bet your nephews love it! xxx
I’ve never had a fancy tree. I prefer a tree that’s personal and filled with memories.
the doorknob ornament reminds me of those theatre expression masks
What does Edgar think of the trees, has he tried climbing them yet 😂. P.s loving those decorations need that pascel one x
Love the fact that the goose is wearing wing mittens, very sensible. Definitely disagree that tree/decorations are tacky, they make me very happy!
This is what I want for my Christmas tree when I have my own flat !!!! Packed full of personality, colour and Disney baubles 😍😍😍😍😍😍
My favorite tradition for Christmas growing up, was my sister and I got to pick out a new ornament every year. So our tree was quite tacky! Tacky tree screams Christmas to me and I loved seeing yours! It’s beautiful!
I work in a garden centre stocking the shelves in the Christmas section and I’ve got to say that goose duck thing ornaments is my FAVVV
Love decs with stories! That's what Xmas is all about! Love.how they gather up through the years and make a real special tree :)
Being Muslim I’ve never celebrated Christmas in the traditional sense (just my birthday on the same day and a Christmas dinner too) so it’s been very very interesting to see the differences between the trees! Never occurred to me to make them smell nice either? Learning so many new things!! 🎄
As a former Warrington resident, I 100% know exactly where Ollie’s sister bought that personalised decoration... the little pop up stall in the Golden Square outside WHSmith/Next 😂😂
Awww I love that goose! He reminds me of the goose in War Horse, because the puppeteer wears a little bobble hat!
He's a fa la la la la lala lallama 🤗
I am currently wearing a fa la la llama shirt lol
The lama is the best Christmas decoration I ever saw! I actually snorted...
I have that camera decoration! I'm a keen photographer and I saw someone take a photo of it when they were going round TK Maxx. I knew I wouldn't be going anytime soon and so this person kindly bought me one and sent it to me and now it's proudly on our tree.

Omg I love Lilo and Stitch so muchhhh. Love all those ornaments!
Tacky trees remind me of home and family ❤️ my mum always has tacky trees and decorations and I love it!
I personally only have a "tacky" tree which I prefer since the ornaments have much more meaning because of the memories attached to them.
Our main tree is tacky tree. We just feel a colour scheme is too limiting. Mum needs to be able to put up the actually horrible decorations we made when we were 4. And like where would the dinosaur decorations go??
I’m not being dramatic but that Alice in Wonderland doorknob changed my life
Care to elaborate??
Same....for the better! X
I love the goose hahah perfect addition to the tree
Tacky tree seems to have so much more life and memories behind it! Love both trees :)
well hello there horha
I love both your trees, but I think tacky tree is my favourite....mainly because I absolutely adore Stitch too 😍 I, however don't have any Stitch decorations for my tree.... what I do have on my tree though are Kevin the carrot and his family from Aldi!
Merry Christmas Carrie xx
I love your garden centre has a cat! Great video, perfect post work chill. And fabulous tree I cannot wait to build my own tacky nerdy themed tree
Love all the Disney ornaments!
I have the light tangled stitch decoration too! It’s literally my favourite decoration!
Does anyone else really like the tacky tree? 😂 I think it’s so original and cute
I also have that Pascal ornament! Was given as a gift probably around 7 years ago and is now proudly next to my Rapunzel mug on my Disney shelf
I put so much on my tree anything pretty glitter and bright colours loads of different flashing lights.. love it!

That was very entertaining. Thanks for sharing this with us, Carrie. Stay well.
This is such a cozy video, love you Carrie ☺️ Merry Christmas!
Name him Tacky the Goose...therefore he is on the perfect tree.

I would LOVE a bookshelf tour
I think stitch is blue enough for the blue n gold tree 🌲 🙌🏻
Lol I have nearly the same set up, except my two trees are just on the two sides of the tv :) one is all shades of silver, gold, champagne, and the other is very random and colourful and I love it. No one can take my two trees away.
I work at a bakery and someone left one, singular, gingerbread man on the tray. What kind of monster?!
loving your vlogmas so much!!!!! xxxxxxx
Have you ever done a Lilo disneybound? That would be so cute
Your hair is so beautiful 😍
I love your Vlogmas so much!
I have a chaos tree. Similar concept to tackey tree. I love my chaos tree, lots of small random decorations.
I thought you were gonna rhyme when you showed us the goose! “I just love him so much, I think he’s so sweet, he’s wearing a scarf...and boots on his feet?” Oh so close Carrie!
"O Tacky Tree, O Tacky Tree, how tacky are your branches? 😃" 😂👏❤🎄
