    Because of you, this thanksgiving dinner was very pleasant and relaxing!!! I wrote a schedule down for each item I was making and when it was going in the oven and so on. I can't believe that I have never had a plan. My dinners have always been frustrating for me. Thank you so much Jen for all your wonderful and inspiring videos.

    I have a small decorative suggestion for you Jen... Have you thought about intermixing the two different types of chairs at your long tables? I think it would add a sense of cohesiveness to the long table, plus it would look quite interesting if the two different chair heights/types were alternated.

    • @bosslady1598
      @bosslady1598 10 лет назад

      I thought it would make it look more balance!

    This is the mindful attention that shows a respect for cultural traditions and creates a space for family to relax and enjoy each other.

    @xxBrandie09xx 10 лет назад +2

    Wow, your family is so.....formal. Everyone in my family works a lot so we try not to stress about the Holiday's since it's our day off. Usually just relax and watch some football and drink beer. Everyone pitches in and enjoys the day together. You guys take things really seriously! I loved the table set up though!

    To be so young you have learned so much already. I wish someone like you had been available when I was much younger because I always loved entertaining the family but I was always so stressed I don't think my husband or children have great memories of this. Your home is always beautiful and such a joy to see you share it with family. I am much older now and we go to my daughter's house where her husband and grown children all pitch in and help and it is wonderful to see. If only I had done that. Christmas will be at our house this year with family coming from Colorado so all children will be here. Waiting for your suggestions anxiously. Thank you so much for all you do for us.

    I love your organizing tips. Thank you so much for sharing. You could definitely write a book on organizing and I would be the first one to buy it. You are very talented. Have you changed or updated anything since your last holiday prep. Maybe you could do a (mini video) on changes/updates/experiences. Even little changes in the process helps bring new ideas. Once again Gracias!

    I started a thanksgiving/christmas planner this year after viewing your 2012 planner vlogs. My planners aren't as organized or complete as yours are but I am hoping that they will become better with each year. Thanks for the tips for planning ahead. I work out of the house, sometimes 60 to 72 hours a week, especially duing the holidays. The planner has really helped me to remember little things that fall though the cracks if I'm not as focused as I should be. Thanks for the vlog, I really enjoy each and every one of them.

    I'm not sure if you've ever done a video like this, but in addition to your holiday prep videos could you do holiday clean up videos? Generally after guests leave there's lots of cleaning to do and lots to put away in storage and I'd love to see your ideas on that!
