My momma grew up during the depression. She lived on a farm so there was no shortage of trees, but decorations was something else. The youngest of 9 children her older brother would buy her gum every time he got paid. She would save the silver wrappers to use as tinsel. I think I might investigate depression style Christmas trees.
You have a wondrous channel, I love the music, the quiet way you present your food and talk about what you are doing. I have had enough of loud channels with too much talking about absolutely nothing and music that never stops. This channel makes me feel like I am with a friend.
Just fabulous. I just received 2 feather trees recently and am leaning towards Victorian decorating. Your house is a jewel box and you are the biggest gem in it.
I would like you to show us how to make some of those pretty victorian Christmas ornaments this season they are so beautiful...I have seen some videos... but the ones you made are way more fancier than the others I have seen...just love this video...
My grandparents - born arround 1880 - , never had a Christmas tree. They had a big wooden cross , decorated with greens , mirror balls and tinsel garlands .
Pietje Puk sounds fascinating! I am in Ireland & my mother, born in 1930, says that as a child her family did not have a Christmas tree. Small sprigs of holly & home made paper chains were used to decorate the home.
I so identify with your videos. As a family tradition, Lutheran, we always got our tree Christmas eve and decorated it. There were 7 of us so you can imagine the excitement. Thank you for sharing your time and joy. I am enjoying every one of them.
Jeri, you are now part of my Christmas tradition experience… Just finishing up watching your Victorian Christmas tree video and I have watched all your other Christmas videos. It is just like a wonderful, gentle friend teaching with such a beautiful, relaxing voice and enjoying the historical aspect of your life and home! Thank you thank you Jeri. You have made my Christmas time much more sweet through these years! So grateful for our Jesus who came to take away the sins of the world. My husband and I are alone the first time this Christmas and you have just been a lovely companion…
Love this video! Very cozy, very informative, and I loved all the picture books you flipped through. 🎄💕 How I wish more people made videos like you do here on RUclips! ✨☃️🎄
2024 and I am back here enjoying this beautiful video. Thank you for sharing all your lovely treasures with all of us. Happy Christmas my dear kindred spirit. ❤🎄❤️
I love to open my ornament boxes and remember where it came from and who gifted it to me. I am almost 77 now and still have 4 ornaments left from when I decorated the tree with my parents in northern Ontario Canada.Treasures for sure💜🥰🙏
I love your history lessons! I learn so much about antiques from your videos and it’s fun because you actually use them rather than simply displaying or keeping them packed away as many people do. 😍
I hope someone in your world understands the value of your collection. Because it’s priceless and deserves to find use on trees in many Christmas’s to come .
i had a pickle ornament. it's a tradition from Germany. my dad's side of the family all came from Germany. the first person to find the pickle on the tree would receive an extra present from Santa. i love old ornaments
Hello Jeri🦋 you’re Christmas Decor is unique and natural, I loved it , natural resources is perfect,so. Sweet and lovely ,I enjoyed watching your lovely film .thank you so much again . Merry Christmas 🎄God bless and peace grace all of us 🙏💙🦋🧚🏻♂️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a wonderful calming video Jeri 💚 Your videos are like a small vacation into a different magical world ✨ And your esthetic is so enchanting and unique
With watching your fabulous depiction of a Victorin Christmas again and a new administration WE Will Make IT Joyse again for Christmas 2024. Thank you for your many of hours you put forth for giving so much pleasure for your fans who follow you Mrs Jeri Landers. 🎄🎄🎄🎄 🌟🌟🌟🍬❤❤❤☃⛄🫖🫖🫖🫖
Memories of my Nam’s Christmas trees, they looked like fairies and elves decorated them! My grandfather would take me to the scrub woods in Florida and we would bring home a scanty pine tree and set it up in the Florida room. Christmas morning a beautiful tinsel laden tree, with cone shaped candy baskets and other delightful decorations would magically appear, this led to a life long love of Christmas and giving! Thank you for this lovely reminder and history! Blessed and safe days!
This takes me to a time where one could enjoy the peace and quiet. I remember admiring my grandmothers tree. Pine cone elves, big fat colorful bulbs, and all gifts wrap in sparkly tissue paper. I would just sit in the quiet watching the tree lights while the adults were in the other room talking and catching up.
Thank you for the lesson on the history of the Christmas tree. Your tree came out quite nicely. My mother use to have a collection of glass ornaments and it always happened that someone would end up breaking one, they were so delicate. Happy holidays to you.
Once again the music is perfect. I love the swan in the beginning. The bowl with fruit and votives in the fruit inspired me. I'm going to do this. Thank You Jeri for sharing your beautiful Victorian tree. Blessings!!!
You win hands down for the best Christmas video on RUclips. I loved hearing the history of the Victorian Christmas tree and was delighted to see your ornaments that were so beautiful. The feathered tree is amazing as well. Thank you for sharing , I am delighted!
What a wonderful and beautiful video. I do believe that the Dresdens you have are Russian ones, not German. The Russian ones are flat, whereas the German ones are more ornate and three-dimensional. Both are beautiful in their own way. Thanks for sharing your collection and Happy New Year!
I really enjoy your stories about the various tradition's, of Christmas. Plus watching your share, all your neat, ornment's! Saving thing's from our past, is nice...as your know. Thank you very much! 🌹❣️🌹🐈🫖🇺🇲😀👍
OMGOODNESS! This video popped up and the music drew me in... I began watching and didn't realize I had already seen it, a year ago. I love it. I only realized I'd seen it because I clicked on the 'Like" button. Thank You Jeri for this history lesson. Blessings¸.•*¨`*•.♫❤
In this chaotic and material world I thank you for whisking us away to your charming cozy home to remind us of gentler times with family and friends. Oh how we need this...away from the rush of shopping bargains and expensive gifts and department store decor. You are what my mom called an olde soul in a young body! Love and anticipate each video to share. God bless you...Awaiting the next one.
I remember my first Christmas with my husband. We blew the inside of the eggs out and hand painted holly on it with clippings of berries and other items. Fun making your own. Beautiful ornaments. Love unique.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow your channel has really inspired me. I actually made scones for the first time tonight. Found a easy recipe. I remember you having them on one of your shows. I couldn't help but think about you as I was eatingvone tonight😀Saw you eating them and then on when calls the heart they eat them. Thanks for your lovely channel.
I enjoy reading about the history of Christmas and now with internet watching videos that explore this magical time. Your video was perfect and such a delight as you unwrapped your treasures. I'm already anticipating the next one. Blessings
Love all the history you share with us! So interesting! Your Victoria tree & feather tree are beautiful! I love the kitty tapestry. Precious! I am a Christian too & we celebrate the birth of Jesus with all the trimmings & festivities! One of my favorite traditions was to string popcorn & cranberries for our Christmas tree. Of course our children wanted to join in until they pricked themselves a few times & decided eating the popcorn was much more fun! After watching her grandchildren get pricked while stringing the popcorn & cranberries my Mother found plastic popcorn & plastic cranberries ( already strung) at a Yankee Candle shop in Massachusetts. We both laughed when she gave it to me. My Mom has been gone now for 14 years and every Christmas I still get a chuckle when I put the plastic popcorn & cranberries on our tree! They look beautiful & real! PS ... Celestial Sleepytime is my favorite too! 🤗🎄
Absolutely magical! What a cozy evening listening to all the history behind the Christmas tree and watching your creation come together. I loved the tour of the ornaments and adore them all from the fancy glass baubles to the beautifully crafted scraps! How wonderful! My tree has always been a family history as I have some old heirlooms passed on to me as well as what I’ve collected over my life. School crafts my children brought home as well now barely holding up. Definitely eclectic. I’ve given so many away now to my girls for their own families but when I visit them it makes me so happy to see they are continuing with the traditions. I am an avid Sleepytime Tea drinker. I often take my tea and saucer to my night stand for a few sips right before drifting off. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together! ❤️
I only just discovered your videos this past fall, while looking at Tasha Tudor videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these lovely videos. You're so creative and have given me some of the most lovely ideas for my own home. They are wonderful and have lifted my spirits so much. Thank you again.
Absolutely lovely! I think this is one of your best videos yet, Jeri - watching you unwrap all your treasures was pure eye candy! I used to put up a "bird tree" every year until I got tired of our kitties wreaking havoc on our poor ornaments. We would tie red gingham ribbon bows on the ends of the branches and mix in pinecones and berries. I liked to imagine that we were decorating it as the birds would! Alas, my beautiful glass ornaments have remained safely on their boxes the last few Christmases as we have now switched to a mostly felt ornament tree - the only (mostly!) kitty-proof ornaments! I still enjoy getting all of the little felt animals and dollies out, however, and they are much easier for our three year old to hang!
Your bird tree reminds me of one I once put on the porch decorated with feathers from my peacocks, chickens and ducks. I also hung apples and low hanging corn for my free range chickens to snack on. The only way to get a kitty proof tree is to put kitty out of the room!
I love this video. For some reason I have been interested in collecting birds for a few years now. I did live in Germany for 3 years but never thought that birds were a German influence. I am Scandinavian but married German men and my kids are very German oriented. The pickle is wonderful. My mother-in-law holds the German pickle by hiding it when we have a family holiday. The kids know to seek out the pickle that is hid out somewhere in the home and when they find it, they get an extra gift. I have carried on that tradition and have a tiny pickle as well as 4 other bigger pickles. The small pickle gets the biggest prize. Thank you for this video. Beautifully done.
Pickles, pickles and more pickles! I wish I had know the pickle tradition before I made the video. Such a cute little idea from a humble little pickle.
It must be such a dream to open up your Christmas decor every year and remember the history of it all. Everything is so lovely with age and patina. It's all so beautiful! The history lesson was very fascinating. I love finding out when traditions start and where they come from. History is so interesting. I hope you and your husband have a Wonderful and Glorious Christmas! Many Blessings!
Hola Jeri, looking for articles and videos of the christmas 40s and 50s and older, I found her page. I do not know if I'm badly located but I wish I had live in those years. When I see your videos this brings me so many memories of that time and of my childhood, years in my house with my parents and sibling and many of them already deceased. I thought I was wrong but, I have realized that there are many people who share my feelings. See these pictures and all these things it shows; books, christmas decorations, old tree and her house bring me a lot of peace believe me Jeri, and I think the peace felt by all those people who lived at that time. Thank you for keeping these memories and blessings alive Jeri. I'm Ricardo from Panama...👏👏
I totally agree with you. I had these old fashioned Christmas's in the late 50's and early 60's and they were simply the best. We didn't need a lot of money to celebrate old transitions and family togetherness.
Jeri, 👏👏👏What a absolute thrill to walk through your lovely collection of Christmas tree bulbs and paper doll ornaments that have been hand crafted by you and your children. What a trip back memory lane. I really appreciate seeing how well you take care of them also. I consider that a great video and wil try to look back at last years that I have missed. Wishing you Happy and safe😷 Holidays. 🙏🎄
Enjoyed this beautiful video so much...I can remember the joy of pulling out the glass birds from the Christmas box and finding tiny puzzles and paper hats from the year before..Have a Wonderful Yuletide Jeri 😊☃️xxxShaz from England 🎅🤶👳♀️🌲🐿🦌👋
Hello Shaz, little paper hats and crackers too? I like your British custom of crackers, we do not have that in the US, but I found directions for making them...maybe next year.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Hello Jeri..we have so many different boxes of crackers here...some with luxury gifts inside the cheaper ones with a low cost toy or amusement like a yoyo or a cellophane fish that curls up and shows your fortune lol ..but I remember a bon bon Snowman when I was a girl a large paper mache covered with cotton wool Snowman with a removable base with held a lucky dip of tissue paper presents...we put our crackers on the Christmas dinner table next to the plate.😊👋🙏🎅xxxShaz
Mu hubby & I have a nightly routine of our cup of sleepy time tea every night, even if we’re traveling...which we don’t do much anymore. Beautiful tree & decor.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Christmas decorations and knowledge. The tree looks so pretty. I love the little dollhouse I spotted in the background too ☺️. 🎄❤️
Thank you Jeri.... I love listening to you, you make me feel like I've come home, what a blessed time of year, I hear my beautiful father's voice everywhere this time year, .. happy Christmas to you and yours xxx
Thank you for sharing. Your presentation of history is amazing. You have a way of making us feel like we are right there with you. Your trees are lovely. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely history lesson on Victorian Christmas trees. I love the little dolls you have too under the tree. I am looking forward to the tea video and it makes me feel hungry just thinking about it.
What a heartwarming channel you have developed. New sub. I shall admire your videos daily, as a treat. Thank you for sharing your little piece of Heaven, along with your talents & skills. Happy Holidays!

That would be a fascinating subject indeed. I must ask my mother, she's 94yrs old and still remembers the Great Depression.
What a treasure to still have your momma! Please tell us what she says!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow So your mother is 95 now? What did she say?
@@kristinburton4953 Unfortunately , she didn't remember much about it... she was still rather young.
You have a wondrous channel, I love the music, the quiet way you present your food and talk about what you are doing. I have had enough of loud channels with too much talking about absolutely nothing and music that never stops. This channel makes me feel like I am with a friend.

Just fabulous. I just received 2 feather trees recently and am leaning towards Victorian decorating. Your house is a jewel box and you are the biggest gem in it.
What a lovely compliment! So true
Thank you for that! Lovely old feather trees are almost comical in their simplicity.
Yes she is. How beautifully stated.
I would like you to show us how to make some of those pretty victorian Christmas ornaments this season they are so beautiful...I have seen some videos... but the ones you made are way more fancier than the others I have seen...just love this video...
Your cat carpet or tapestry caught my eye. I would love to know where I might find one.
My grandparents - born arround 1880 - , never had a Christmas tree. They had a big wooden cross , decorated with greens , mirror balls and tinsel garlands .
That sounds beautiful
I don't think my father ever had a Christmas tree as a child. Of what decent were your parents? The wooden cross seems very Russian.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow They were Dutch . Roman Katholic . They concidered a Christmas tree as a fellacy. Hedon .
Pietje Puk sounds fascinating! I am in Ireland & my mother, born in 1930, says that as a child her family did not have a Christmas tree. Small sprigs of holly & home made paper chains were used to decorate the home.
@@feeonaghchambers7403 They were facinating people . With facinating lives.

In this time upheaval and sadness, we need a time to unite and feel a sense of security and hope. this is very calming, thank you !
Love this video! Very cozy, very informative, and I loved all the picture books you flipped through. 🎄💕 How I wish more people made videos like you do here on RUclips! ✨☃️🎄
I wanted to read a story from one of the books, Maybe I'll do a super short video for that.

What a lovely collection of Victorian ornaments.. in such good shape. I am enjoying all of this. Thank you so much for sharing..
Hello,so many beautiful things, antique,I love Victorian figures,a beautiful tree will come out of it.👍👏👋

I would just sit in the quiet watching the tree lights while the adults were in the other room talking and catching up.
It really is peaceful to just sit and enjoy the tree with a pot of tea.
I had a plastic bird like yours as a child. I wish I still had mine. I’m 72 now and miss so much now. Thanks for renewing a memory.
Thank you for the lesson on the history of the Christmas tree. Your tree came out quite nicely. My mother use to have a collection of glass ornaments and it always happened that someone would end up breaking one, they were so delicate. Happy holidays to you.
Your trees are lovely! Can't wait for tea time!

I totally agree with you. I had these old fashioned Christmas's in the late 50's and early 60's and they were simply the best. We didn't need a lot of money to celebrate old transitions and family togetherness.
Love this tree! The ornaments are lovely. I have old ornaments from my parents and keep them in a very large rose bowl to display and keep them safe.
Nice!
Thank you for this lovely video. Learned all about Christmas trees. Take care.
Jeri, 👏👏👏What a absolute thrill to walk through your lovely collection of Christmas tree bulbs and paper doll ornaments that have been hand crafted by you and your children. What a trip back memory lane. I really appreciate seeing how well you take care of them also. I consider that a great video and wil try to look back at last years that I have missed. Wishing you Happy and safe😷 Holidays. 🙏🎄
Last year, I did a video called "Under the Tree in 1903" all about the toys of the past
Enjoyed this beautiful video so much...I can remember the joy of pulling out the glass birds from the Christmas box and finding tiny puzzles and paper hats from the year before..Have a Wonderful Yuletide Jeri 😊☃️xxxShaz from England 🎅🤶👳♀️🌲🐿🦌👋
Hello Shaz, little paper hats and crackers too? I like your British custom of crackers, we do not have that in the US, but I found directions for making them...maybe next year.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Hello Jeri..we have so many different boxes of crackers here...some with luxury gifts inside the cheaper ones with a low cost toy or amusement like a yoyo or a cellophane fish that curls up and shows your fortune lol ..but I remember a bon bon Snowman when I was a girl a large paper mache covered with cotton wool Snowman with a removable base with held a lucky dip of tissue paper presents...we put our crackers on the Christmas dinner table next to the plate.😊👋🙏🎅xxxShaz
Mu hubby & I have a nightly routine of our cup of sleepy time tea every night, even if we’re traveling...which we don’t do much anymore. Beautiful tree & decor.
It works!

What a lovely history lesson on Victorian Christmas trees. I love the little dolls you have too under the tree. I am looking forward to the tea video and it makes me feel hungry just thinking about it.
Yes, those dollies are from 1840-50, perfect Victorians ladies
I love feather trees and have an old one and some newer ones. I even made one a long while ago from a kit purchased.
Another lovely video....thanks for sharing !
