Never get another tree! I love your rotating tree. The lights are beautiful and so many. This year, you can enjoy Christmas for this year and last year. Jenny, you are a blessing to your mother. You always make two soups. Potato soup is a favorite of my family.
Thank you, Diane! Yeah, I love our tree. We were looking at a new one a couple years ago that would have been pre-lit but we didn't like any of them. So until this one really falls apart we'll stick with it. Yes, this December will be filled with lots of thoughts of being grateful. And soup is so good! I love this potato soup! I'm glad I have the 2 big pots that I can make two at a time, too. It's so nice to be able to just heat up a bowl. Have a wonderful week! 💜
Stunning tree! I love it! Holidays are a normal time to look back and reflect. It’s natural to grieve the you of last year. Your positivity and cheerfulness will return. Bless you for your honesty. ❤
Aww, thank you! Exactly this!! Holidays, end of the year, it's a time for reflection. And sometimes the feelings/emotions just come out of nowhere and surprise you. But then you think about it, acknowledge it and move on. 💜
Sounds like Jenny, that you had a nice Thanksgiving with the family. I was invited over to my sons' wife's brothers house, so I had a very nice day with my family and especially my 2 grandkids! ❤ Your Christmas tree is pretty !! I love how it slowly turns. That's so interesting! 🌲 I am happy you are here, too, celebrating the holidays and making memories with your family. I still pray for you every night, and I will never waver from that. 🙏 You have some wonderful Christmas traditions that you do each year. That is just awesome. Well, take care, Jenny!! You have come a long way in a year. Blessings to you, always.❤
I did have a really good Thanksgiving, thank you Pam. I'm so happy you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too! So nice to be able to spend it with family! And, yes, it has been quite a journey this year. Thank you so much for the continued prayers. I appreciate it! 💜
You are a beautiful human and a wonderful soul🌲 and we all look back for many reasons. It keeps us humble and thankful. Thank you for being real always🙏
Hi Jenny 👋 your tree is gorgeous!! Yes, we put ours up last weekend and you’re right it takes time putting the tree up and decorating it. We actually downsized this year with tree. It’s a bit smaller than last years which we also had for a long time. Only a few decorations outside which we have not done yet. I like decorating my dollhouses that I have collected. Can’t wait to see your tree with ornaments. I’m sure it looks beautiful!! It looks so pretty now with lights and the way it turns. Going to watch your orange muffin video now. 🧡
Thank you, Patricia! I like our tree, hence why we've had it so long! We had looked at replacing our tree a couple years ago with one that just has 3 parts to put together and already has lights on but we didn't like the way any of them looked. I'm sure that time is coming as parts of our branches are breaking off now. I wish we could put pictures in these comments. I would love to see how you decorate your doll houses! I'm sure they are very cute! I hope you have a wonderful week! 💜
How nice you got to celebrate Thanksgiving with Wayne’s mom and sister and later with your mom. I actually remember the WKRP turkey drop episode, so for Wayne to get the t-shirt is so funny! The Christmas rug you made is very cute! I’ve never seen a turning Christmas tree, how beautiful and it’s so old and still looks great. I’m so glad you are 100 percent better and being a little teary eyed for the last year missed, is totally understandable. We start decorating on Dec 1st. Thanks for another fun video! 💜💜
That is neat that you remember that episode! I remember seeing that episode for the first time. I laughed so hard I cried. Yeah, I love that the tree rotates so that you can appreciate all the ornaments. I think Dec. 1st is a good time to start decorating. You have enough time to enjoy everything and make December special. 💜
Hi there sweet Jenny! First, I’m so glad you are still here too. What a whirlwind huh? The tree is so very pretty. Love the colors, the flashing lights and the periodic fade. I wish I was one who enjoyed the holidays but I never have. I go through the motions and do it for the family but I wouldn’t mind just skipping it all. Lol. All of your Christmas things are so pretty. Enjoy it all! I think your emotions are very valid. You’ve been through a whole lot friend. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Sending hugs, Liz
Aww, thank you, Liz! I'm sorry you don't enjoy the holiday. I guess I've always had good Christmas memories growing up. Mom tried to make all the holidays special so I enjoy them. I used to do a lot more - put up more decorations, but that became kind of tedious, so now I do just enough to make me happy. And yes, it's been quite a year this year and emotions hit me here and there. I appreciate your support. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 💜
Love how your Christmas tree looks! You've come so far since last year, so while there are definitely things to grieve for, there are many more to celebrate! God bless and have a wonderful week!
"Grieving the Me of Last Year"? Wow, that says volumes. I had ended up with the same mindset year after year until I decided to break the habit. It wasn't easy, but it had to be done. (head injury et al). Now I just let life flow the way it wants to and I enjoy wherever it take me. Is there a magic solution? Is there a perfect direction? No!!! But there is the right way for each and every one of us. None of it is the same. So, just learn how to flow with the flow and enjoy the ride. Life is too short to do otherwise. Happy Holidays. Be healthy, stay safe and many, many blessings, Morgan
Thank you, Morgan! Good suggestions. Yeah, this first year there have been some emotions that have come here and there. I will feel the emotions and then let them go. I'm not one to ruminate over them over and over again - at least I don't think so. We'll see how next year goes! 😆 I'm glad you have figured out how to best live your life. You're right, life is short and we have to make the best of it. Thank you so much for all the support! Have a wonderful week! 💜
I have no idea. I haven't looked in awhile. I think I saw one a few years ago because I thought of getting one for my daughter but figured she may not like it as much as I did. 😄
Thank you! It is so nice to be able to put the tree and decorations up this year. I am enjoying it. Do you have any Christmas decorations in your house? I would think it would be nice to look at some while you're kind of laid up. Hopefully you have some good books to read and are watching some TH-cam videos to make you happy and maybe get you in the spirit. ☺💜
@ Hi Jenny, yes I have some Christmas lights to put up, will probably get it done sometime next week. I always look forward to your videos it makes my day 🙏🏻
Our weather sucks here, Jenny! Wind chills below zero. Blustery and frigid out and we are moving stuff 68 miles north to Even colder Minnesota!! I'm to old for this cold weather!!!
Oh my goodness! Wind chills below zero are not nice. Oof, you are going further North! I hope the cold spell breaks soon and then you have some good days. I know we usually have a week of near zero temps in February but then that's usually it so I am grateful for the just cooler weather right now. I'm starting to realize why people retire to the South, too! 😄
Gosh this video hit me Jennie. I cried all day Saturday while putting up my tree, mostly because I was also grieving the past me, and I wasn’t feeling well but had to get it done, but also because it’s a painful time of year. I had to go no contact with my siblings 4 years ago so I grieve that loss every year. The tree my Mom had was like yours with the branches you stick in a hole, they were color coded, it was a beautiful tree, the ones today aren’t as full. Enjoy the season!
I am sorry you had a crying day. I hope you were able to feel your feelings and get them all out. I'm so sorry you don't have contact with your siblings. That must be very difficult. Hopefully your tree will make you happy and you have been making new happy memories to take forward with you. Sending hugs and good juju your way. 💜🙏

Hi Jenny. You have come through with shinning colours. You are a strong lady. Your tree looks beautiful by the way. ❤
Thank you, Emma! I hope you have a wonderful week! 💜

Love your Christmas 🎄 tree. I’m going to get our tree up this weekend. Love your video, it’s amazing how a year can change things. All for the better.
Thank you, Deny! Yes, it's been quite a year! Do you get a real tree or have a fake tree? I'm sure it will be pretty! Have a wonderful weekend! 💜
Jenny, do retailers still sell latchhook kits! I used to love making those kits!!!
I have no idea. I haven't looked in awhile. I think I saw one a few years ago because I thought of getting one for my daughter but figured she may not like it as much as I did. 😄
So nice to see you getting into Christmas spirit, love your Christmas tree and Chrissie hand towels 🙏🏻❤️

As always, such an inspiring video. Thank you.
Thank you! 💜
