Hey! Add 1/1/2 cup of Brown sugar to your cookie mix.... I left out the video clip!)
I got such a late start putting up this tree: it's Dec.21 and I'm dressing a Christmas tree in the manner of an Early American Christmas, when all the ornaments were gathered from nature or handmade in the home. I'll show you how to make traditional folded stars and Moravian Ginger cookies cut with antique molds to be hung on the tree. We will talk about the Nativity.

Thank you for such a sweet touching video. So calming. Loved the stars. All the simple lovely decorations for the tree. The greatest Gift of Christmas is Jesus!
Loved your natural tree and your sharing about the love of Jesus to come from Heaven to earth to live such a simple life and be able sympathies with all our struggles and sorrows and yet he lived it out perfectly! God bless you and your husband! 🙂🙏❤
Thank you for showing how you make the star’s and cookies for your tree. I enjoyed the story of how our Savior came to earth. It’s a wonderful time of the year for everyone to remember how Christ to earth to save us from our sins.
I hope you will make the stars next year, little stars of Bethlehem.
Jeri linda y bendecida noche tengas 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thank you ,enjoyed every bit! We are kindred spirits and sisters in Christ.
Oh my!!!! I love that poem at the end...How sweet was that. I can't help but cry just thinking what it would have been like to be a shepherd and see our savior as a precious little baby. We have been given so much mercy and grace. God bless and Merry Christmas
Can you just imagine the sound of the angels praising God?!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow it would have been heavenly!!!!! God bless
Oh Jeri, this is the dearest Christmas video I have ever seen. The stars and the tree are so lovely but your story of our Saviour's birth was so touching and heartwarming! We must never forget the Christ in Christmas. This brought warmth to my heart and tears to my eyes. You are a precious child of God and He has gifted you with the warmth of His Love. God bless you and James and may you have a wonderful Christmas. From Lin in Michigan.❤

It's good to see so many fellow Believers here today!
Thank you for taking time to share your tree and stars. I have gotten to enjoy the dried oranges. And bells! As a Christian my heart swells when you read about Christ being born and the stone place and the stone he was in when he died. I am happy for every day he is with me. And with things the way they are right now. I am ready for his return. Joyce
I am happy He is with us, what joy!
Wonderful! This was so well done! Thank you! So thankful for our Saviour Jesus! What a beautiful home!
What an outstanding video you created with such stellar content! Your Christmas tree is beautiful. Merry Christmas. Christ is born! Glorify Him!
Joy to the World!
Merry Christmas Jeri. Thank you for the story of our Lords birth. You the only one who showed us the Nativity .
The Nativity Is Christmas. Thank you for being here.
Love all you touch and do!!
Thank you, Jeri! And Amen!
Thank you so much, I enjoyed seeing how you make the star’s and cookies for your tree. I really enjoyed the story of how our savior was born. It’s a great time of the year to remember how Christ came to earth to save us from our sins. Merry Christmas to you and your love ones and have a blessed New Year.
Our Saviour, Our Lord, AMen!
If everyone would remember the story of the Nativity it would be a kinder, gentler world. Looking forward to a new year filled with more of your wonderful videos. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Here,here!
You made me cry when you shared about the birth of our Savior... So beautiful and touching. Thankyou for this entire video. 🎄❤️
Bless you for being unashamed and unafraid to share the true meaning of Christmas.
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. 🎄💗
Wonderful ❣ Blessings to you and your family ❣🌟🎄💝
What a beautiful and peaceful video and the true meaning of Christmas thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Have a wonderful blessed Christmas and happy 2022. Thanks for sharing all your great talents. 🇺🇸🎁❤️👼🎅🏼🎄🍾🎉
Oh the nativity was beautiful. I have one very similar in age and I prefer it to the newer porcelain ones.
It's quite old, I found it many years ago in an antique shop.
This is the best part of my Christmas season. Your Chirstmas video, I hold dear to my heart. Thank, Jeri, for the beauty, love, kindness, gentleness and joy you bring to each of us each year. Merry Christmas to you all.
You are so welcome, and thank you for visiting us here in Hopalong HOllow!
What can I say??? This was worth the wait so interactive so soothing like a hot drink by the fire with family and christmas music playing. What did I do before I found you! I just am thrilled every video . I just can hardly stand it. Like a kid on Christmas. You were born for this role. Thank you for the magic you have given back to me this year . I needed it .
And I thank YOU for your enthusiasm!
The story never gets old ,only more dear as the years go by and to think it's all true!
What a lovely Christmas video. In the chaos of the world, this is full of peace, comfort, and joy. I love everything about the video. I love the history lessons you share and the simplicity of the tree decorations. What a beautiful way for me to unwind after a very busy family Christmas today.
I love your tree. The Stars are beautiful, we had these on our tree when I was growing up. The goose cookie is adorable. I especially want to thank you for sharing your faith and your beautiful nativity. Christmas blessings to you and your family. 🙏❤️🎄
Same Blessing sent your way, thank you!
Beautiful video Jeri! I always love the “let’s make it”, ( be it baking, cooking crafting) part of your video along with the story telling. I suppose that is ALL of the video, right?!.☺️
A few days back I was remembering my grandmother’s nativity set. She used to put it up back in the late 60s early 70s for us. It was beautiful and pretty old. She even used a mirror to make a small body of water at a distance from the manger. It had animals, shepherds, angel above the manger and even the dark angel at a distance on the trees. I have never seen the type lights she used, they looked like tiny lava lamps because it looked like they had colored fluid in them. She too was a great story teller. Thank you for sharing with us, I truly love and appreciate all of it.
Jeri, have a Wonderful and Blessed 🙏🏽Christmas!❤️
How nice it would be if you still had the set! That dark angel in the distance seems very suspicious....
A very hearty and merry Christmas to you Jeri. 🎄 Thank-you once again for keeping us all centered on the true meaning of Christmas. 🌟 He truly is the Light of the world…& we need Him more now than ever. 🙏 As a daughter of a Christmas tree grower here in the PNW… I appreciate all types of trees and decorations…maybe even more than most…but the thing we always try to keep our thoughts centered on these past 40 ish years….is the tree on Calvary…& the sacrifice He made for us all. ✝️ We are so blessed to call Him Wonderful Councilor, Mighty God & Prince of Peace. May your Christmas be a blessed one, filled with awe and wonder. ❤️☺️ You are appreciated!!
I could not have said it better! AMen!
I hope you've had a nice Christmas 🎄 Happy New Year to you, to your family and to everyone who's reading this 💕
The tree is wonderful, and I bet the kitchen smells wonderful. Your lovely voice tells the story of the birth perfectly. Merry Christmas.
There's nothing like the scent of Christmas cooking spices!
Hello Jeri, Season's greetings from Scotland. It has become a little tradition of mine to watch your Christmas vblog every year. It's like watching the Queen's speech on TV and one never disappoints. Your videos are always informative, engaging and well-thought-out. Thank you so much for all your time and endeavour in making these videos. The current programmes on TV are full of sensationalised, loud, argumentative and overly dramatic competitions in which the message to inform, inspire and educate the audience seems to be lacking. You and your videos are filling that void in my universe. So, thank you once more, Jeri. You are a virtuoso and a Renaissance woman. Wishing you a very merry Christmas. May all your holiday wishes come true.
Wow, how nice.....i'd have never thought of my videos being compared to the Queens speech, LOL! So glad to have you here with us...
So beautiful! Thank you for the real Christmas story and sweet poem. For sharing the joy, love and peace. Merry Christmas and many blessings 💗🙏
Love you, Jeri. Your productions help me and my 89 year old mother share in life’s beauty. Your background music lifts our spirits.
Wonderful! Give you momma a hug for me; mine was 95 in December!
What a lovely presentation, Jeri! I love the primitive tree! I love making the stars! And the sweet little
cheche with the story of Jesus! What a precious scene! Merry Christmas! Hugs! Peggy
Oh good, you made the stars!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow yes! So fun! Maybe the crafty grand-girls and I can make some more! Thanks!
Merry Christmas Jeri…thank you for all you wonderful videos 🎄🎄❤️🎄🎄
Jerri, of all your wonderful videos, this is the most touching, the most blessed and, for me, the most heartwarming. Thank you so much for your testimony of Jesus Christ, his birth and death and resurrection. The stories are so special that I felt as though I was in your home and you were sharing your Christmas wisdom just with me. I'm sure all of your RUclips followers feel the same way. The tree is perfect. I can't wait to make the stars. One thing I will share. My Mother said as a child in the 1920s people here in our valley of Eastern KY would put handkerchiefs on the Church tree with a small gift for the person whose name they had drawn. God bless you. A very Merry Christmas and may your New Year be the best one ever.
I can imagine a tree laden with pretty hankies and filled with humble gifts in an old Country church in Kentucky or Tennessee, so sweet! It reminds me of the Museum of Appalachia during Christmas.
🎄🙏😇🙏🎄
THANK YOU. FOR SHARING
GOD'S GREAT GIFT. THE REASON FOR CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS
THE GIFT OF OUR LORD. AND
SAVIOR. GOD'S SON EMMANUEL
THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL BIBLE TEXT. AND CERTAINLY WE AMERICANS AND THE WORLD NEEDS THE ACCEPTANCE OF THAT REALITY. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY AND BEST OF WISHES FOR A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thank you for this video. While the stars & cookies portion were creatively inspiring ~ I loved your narrative of the story of Christ most of all... For years, I have enjoyed the 12 days of Christmas as I finally have time to quiet myself in the season. For me it’s like this: The days leading up to Christmas are like the days awaiting the arrival of a baby, it’s only the beginning, that joy of birth lasts for days upon days, and that is how I see the birth of Christ~joy that lingers just a bit longer into the season (as it should). My decor stays up until January 6th and this helps as the winter settles in. ~Merry Christmas ~
Jeri, Glad tidings of great joy as you reflect on the King’s coming.
Thank you for this wonder video .
Beautiful!
Never seen anything so beautiful even though all Jeri videos are precious.
Only one remark: in Italy the child Jesus appears in the "presepe" only on 24th December at midnight. The first presepe was prepared by S. Francesco in Greccio a tiny village in the Rieti province upon his return from Palestine.
I wish all of you a peaceful Christmas.
Barbara from Milan/Italy 🌲🎅❤🇮🇹
Yes, I read about Christ being put in the manger on the 24th, apparently this is done in several countries. Very significant.
Que HERMOSURA!,me encantan estos árboles... Tienen un ESPIRITUD DIFERENTE!!!y el BELÉN QUE SIGNIFICATIVO,ES LA RAZÓN DE LA NAVIDAD!!
FELICES FIESTAS!!!
BENDICIONES MIL!
AMEN! Thank you Jeri. Merry Christmas.
Thank you for bringing the focus on Christ.
Thank you Jeri, for such a touching video...a time of worship...as you shared the greatest story ever told, the birth of our Savior. I loved your tree and decorations. Merry Christmas, dear one. ❤️
And to you as well!
I've had a star like this that is made of sparkly wire ribbon. It's about 6 inches in diameter and very beautiful.
Happy 11th day of Christmas.
This made me think of my elderly neighbor, when my family first moved to Lake Placid, NY. Lottie B. Anson.
She gave me a box of these stars for Christmas and told me that she had been making them since she was a girl. (I was 8 years old at the time.) She dunked her's in melted candle wax, to preserve, and sprinkled the wet wax with glitter. That was 1974. I have one left that is sitting proudly on my tree.
I may make some companions for it. But, different, because I don't ever want to mistake which one is her's.
I've decided that this year will be Christmas centered. Everything I do, grow or make will have Christmas as the end result. Because, Christmas is my thing!❤
I have dipped them in wax and it gives a really nice appearance, but as time goes by the wax cracked and they didn't look very pretty any more.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow In all these years, my one remaining star hasn't cracked even when one of the beams was bent. I wonder how she did it? :) I guess it's even more special than I thought!!♥
Beautiful, Merry Christmas 🎄
Jeri, I lived very near Bethlehem, PA for more than 30 years. They still celebrate Christmas in a big way and it's beautiful. I love the stars and will make some myself. I wish I could still do the baking, but I can't stand for long without a lot of pain. So I will appreciate your baking success and admire the ornaments you have baked and dried and strung. Your tree is lovely and has a calming effect on me. That alone is a precious gift in this very busy time. Christmas wouldn't be complete without the nativity set up in our home. I bought it shortly after we were married. It has been battered and broken over the many years I have set it up. But it still has pride of place. I've read that poem myself many years ago. I have no idea who wrote it. Thank you for reacquainting me with it. Merry and healthy Christmas to you and all of your loved ones. And to all, a good night.
The battered and bruised Nativity sets are the very best. Thanks for being here.
I have my mother's cookie cutters just like those in your basket. I really appreciated your ending to this production. Merry Christmas.
This was so very precious!! So enjoyed everything you put the tree 🌲. Merry Christmas Jeri ❣️❣️
Merry Christmas Karel!
Loved this video, it really touched my heart. Merry Christmas Jeri
What a wonderful video. Thank you, Mrs. Landers for showing how to make the parchment stars. I love all the antique cookie cutters you've collected. I have collected a few myself, and I have my Mama's aluminum cookie cutters that she used when my brother and I were little, and I use them every year. The homemade tree is beautiful. I especially loved that you shared the message of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you and your family this Christmas, and always. 🤍🙏✝
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the nativity and telling the story of the birth of Jesus! A blessed Christmas to you and your family.
SUPERB! Every time I think it's not possible for your video's to get better, they do! This is a classic! Beautiful in everyway! Thank you for all the sublime hours you have given us this year! They have eased stress and pain and replaced those things with peace and a genteel element so missing in a harsh and crude world.. Merry Christmas to you and your family.. May your blessings ever increase as you glorify Him! 🎄
You are very welcome, so glad to have you here with us!
Joy to the world! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King!
The retelling of Our Lord Jesus' birth in your special video is heartwarming. Many Blessings to You, Jeri of Hopalong Hollow.
I am looking for to His return. Maranatha!
It's good to see so many fellow Believers here today!
Oh how I waited for your Christmas videos, and I’m a Jew ! I just know they’ll be magical and cozy ! Thank you so much Jeri, you’re videos are just perfect 🤍🙏🏻
That's great! Thank you for being here.
Merry Christmas and God Bless Everyone 🕊
Beautifully presented. Loved the presentation of the Nativity and the tree. Merry Christmas! Thank you for this treat.
Thank you, Jeri, for this beautiful video. I use dried oranges and bees wax ornaments that I poured years ago of different shapes. I love the smell of that bees wax when I open the box of ornaments each year. I think next year I will make some ginger bread cookies and stars. Yours were beautiful. Merry Christmas!
Oh yes, Beeswax Ornaments are so delightful! I had 3 of them in my box, but they were so melted having been stored in the hot attic for many years.
Simple, homemade, is my fav sort of tree/decorations. You've done another fine job of it! I wish you and yours a lovely Christmas AND a happy new year!
I think this is my favorite tree, far superior in it's simplicity to the Ornate tree I did last year.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. God bless you in the New year! Love all of your videos.
Thank you for joining us here in Hopalong Hollow...
Thank you Jeri for a most endearing video and message of Christ's birth. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
And I wish the same to you and yours.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful narration of the birth our our Savior!! Love the homemade stars. Love the history lesson of the American Christmas tree. Your ginger bread recipe cut out turned out cute!!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you, this was such a beautiful video. Merry Christmas and many Blessings to you for the New Year!
Thank you for joining us here in Hopalong Hollow!
I had forgotten that I use to make these stars and decorate with cranberry and fruit garlands and gingerbread cookies. So beautiful! Thank you, Jeri, for the story of Jesus birth as well. Such an enjoyable video! Merry Christmas!!
My cup runneth over, what a sensational and fulfilling video and what a gift you are to us. You inspire me. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and yours.
Merry Christmas Jeri and thank you for the happiness you have given me throughout the year 🙏🏼
Dear Jeri what a pleasure to watch this video this morning. Love the story of the earlier Christmas tree and the paper ornaments you made. Love the sprigs of wheat all over your tree.
Most beautifully your crèche and your beautiful figures of your nativity. Perfectly spoken on the birth of Christ.
Have a Merry and Happy Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🙏🥰🤗😘🎄🎄🙏🙏🙏
Jeri you make everything so festive!! i love those folded stars!! stars are one of my favs and is what led the wise men to baby Jesus!! thanks for the wonderful recipe and the cutouts were gorgeous love those aluminum cookie cutters how nostalgic. The homemade tree is so beautiful!! Christmas is for me only celebrating the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ!!! Jesus is the ONLY reason for the season...., thanks for the history lesson as well, I have a nativity on the floor right by my tree with 2 angels, the star of Bethlehem, and a moving light stating the scripture... thanks for all you do, Merry Christmas dear!
Thanks for being a part of it all, it is wonderful to see so many Christians here.
I bet that's the most aromatic tree around. This was beautiful as always. I'm sorry you've been so busy that you feel you are behind but thank you for giving us these gifts that are your wonderful videos. Merry Christmas, Jeri to you and yours.
It does smell lovely, and I will put the boughs of the tree to good use after Christmas.
I remember making the stars as a child . We dipped them in parafene ,then sprinkled with sparkles. Thanks for the memories.
I dipped mine one year, it's a really nice look.
Sweet lady, thank you thank you for this amazing, precious video. This year, with many trials my husband and I face in our own unbelieving family, I was so blessed to see that you saved the best for last. That you shared the gospel message of Jesus Christ to whom ever would listen! Thank you for being faithful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! May God richly bless you, and I will forever be a fan of everyone of your videos! Merry merry Christmas to you…
My hope is that this video would touch at least one unbeliever... many in my family as well. Fortunately I have a Christian husband and we celebrate Christmas by putting God first.
I’ve had a kit to make these stars ⭐️ for a loooong time! Thank you for this tutorial, I am motivated to make them now! 🌟🎄✨ Merry Christmas 🎁 🙏🏼
Now you have a visual guide.
This was just so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and life with us.
Oh how absolutely beautiful. I remember when I was a child and how I felt when I was being taught, my mouth must have been open with the wonder of it all. You are an excellent teacher and I appreciate that you take the time to impart your knowledge. Merry Christmas 🎄 ~ Janet 😘
I am so grateful for those of you who appreciate the videos, that is why I make them.
Hello Jeri, I really enjoyed watching, this. Though it's just the beginning of Nov. 2023. With best wishes! 🍂🌲🍂🌾🌻🌾🐕🐈❣️😀👍
MERRY CHRISTMAS Jeri! I think your tree is a wondrous beauty.
I hope everyone receives the greatest gift of all...Jesus the Christ!!!
Peace & Blessings
That is my hope as well.
Thank you, Jeri, for honoring our precious savior with this beautiful video. I will share it with my family on Christmas Eve. Prayers for a happy healthy 2022.
The stars and your tree is beautiful !! When I was a child growing up on a farm in south western Pennsylvania, my grandmother taught me to make homemade ornaments from what ever we could find. She made corn husk angels, croched snow flakes and we raised peacocks so we always added shedded peacock feathers. We popped popcorn and made garland. She had a few store bought ornaments and I remember thinking they were real gold and the most beautiful things I had ever seen. When she passed, I got the ornaments and still put them on my tree. Thanks for triggering the memories of my grandmother. You are so sweet and talented Jeri. I love your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God Bless!!
Those are precious memories of times with your grandmother and how wonderful that you have the keepsake ornaments. I have some from our tree as a child and they hold such memories of my siblings.
Haven’t made these in years. We used to call them Moravian stars. Popular around Bethlehem, PA. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for posting. You know I will be doing some soon.
Thank you so much for sharing your faith at the end! I loved this video.....one of my all time favorites of yours and my favorite of all I've watched this season!! I love vintage nativity scenes.
I have the highest respect for you that you did not leave out the reason for Christmas but that you proudly announced the name the Jesus. While it’s just after Easter 2022, I think this is one of the most beautiful videos you have made to celebrate our lord! It was just beautiful to watch and listen to you while you put up your nativity. As a child we had a nativity almost the same as yours. Thank you ! For all the hard work you put into to make your productions and sharing it with us …. God Bless you !
I am glad you are on the same page as I am concerning the Lord, thank you for the nice comment.
I love that you took time for the most important One.
Jeri thank you so much for all the wonderful history you have shared with us. What a beautiful videos. Merry Christmas 🎄
It is my pleasure!
Thanks for the lovely memories, Jeri. I remember making these stars with my brothers and sister when we were kids.
Dear Jeri, this video is wonderful! The soft sounds, the sweet treats and simple ornaments (though those stars certainly aren't that simple! I look forward to trying my hand at making some) and the gentle reminder of why we celebrate!! Immanuel, GOD with us! Thank you for putting this together, sharing it, shining His Light through your art. Have a lovely and blessed Christmas!
You are very welcome, so glad to have you here with us on this Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas, Jeri! May God Bless you abundantly in the days ahead! You are such a blessing! The story and setting of the Nativity was so precious! The true meaning of Christmas! Thank you! ❤
Such a wonderful video and message. THANK 🙇 YOU
Imagine my surprise when I opened a gift from my daughter and it’s Holiday Heritage tea! ❤️
It's really good, your daughter has good taste!
Thank you! Needed this so today. It made my eyesight watery :) I look forward to listening , watching and the gifts you impart in your stories. God bless you and Merry Christmas! Frosting cookies today with Leila, Wyatt & Paisley and will pass your stories on! Dianne

So many wonderful layers to this video. The ending is glorious. 🐑
So beautiful! Thank you for mentioning the real meaning of Christmas!
