You are not the only one not feeling it beloved, there is so much going on and it's all very difficult to deal with. Having peace with oneself is enough. ❤
If you’re not feeling the holiday vibe please don’t try to force it. Do yourself a favor and do little things like small decorations and drinking holiday drinks. Give yourself a break and see in the new year.❤
My dad got 3 ft. potted trees every year of my childhood! 1959- 1972. Mostly pines, a few deodars. They were all planted and grew on the 2 1/2 acre property in Riverside.
When I got to go to a place that sells plants over a week ago, I found 4 garbage plants for 1;00, 3 are doing great, one not so much, but I'll keep watching it to see if it will live, one thing I did get, was a tiny Pony Tail Plant bulb with nice green leaves, it had fallen out of a pot of them, and was quite dry, but it looks like it's going to grow, I'm excited about that, I always wanted one. Now I have a very tiny one, can't wait to see it slowly grow.
Hello Pat! I get depressed this time of year too. And to make it worse, I live in Northwest Washington, where there's very little sun and the days are so short. Used to live in Seattle, where there was a fancy nursery like this one. I even went there once around this time one year to inspire my Christmas spirit! Any way, I used to make a living selling my art in galleries etc, and love color! But instead of red and green I decorate with teal/turquoise and alizarin/magenta as my two main colors. It is similar to but has a different vibe.
My style is Old World. Dickens village, street lamps, candles, lots of greenery, dark colors & birds. Fireplace videos from YT on tv screen. Softest possible tiny warm white lights or peachy salt lamps. Pine & fireplace scented air. { 🎼🎶 That old Hallmark commercial with the big brother singing Oh Holy Night.)
🎼I’ll be home for Christmas” “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”🎼 (both with the thought of my kids coming home) I’m with you, though…for some reason this year I can’t get into the Christmas spirit BUT I look forward to seeing my kids come home. 😊
You know what, I totally understand, I do not like the time of year, and it’s all because my own family, my husband’s family treats me like gold though, they are my true family, hugs my friend ✌️💚😊
That first olive tree standard wasn't too bad...especially with that pot. They can get pricey. Happy Holidays Peggy Lee version. I've gotten into this one lately. 🎄
Hi Patrick and Joe, Just do the things that make you happy.🪴And remember, a Christmas tree is also a plant.🎄🤭 My favorite Christmas song is "Have yourselve a Merry little Christmas".❣️
Hi Patrick, thanks for taking us along with you. Here down under never feels like Christmas cause its our Summer season. It always feels weird to sing Let it Snow and White Xmas... 🤭 I use this time to simplify my life and appreciate and celebrate the people who stuck around me. My fave Xmas songs are, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Santa Baby cause its fun 🥰
We are seniors, in Canada, and we none of our family, will be exchanging presents, or having a Christmas dinner, as we are all broke. Our Government is killing us with taxes. as of April 1st the taxes Carbon Taxes we pay will be going up to 61% on every last thing we buy, and on all our monthly bills. Be Glad you don't live in Canada. I am lucky if I can go plant shopping for a plant once a month, price can't be over 10.00. But I still love my plants and enjoy what I have. I SERIOUSLY HOPE and PRAY things get better for you, as we really know what your situation is like. Not fun. I've just found your channel and am enjoying it very much. Thank You
You are very Lucky, to have the huge selection of plant shops, and plants in big box stores, Plants we rarely see here, in Alberta, Canada, Would be fun to shop in places like that, just to see different varieties of plants. Our plant selections are terrible here.
"I'll Be Home For Christmas" always makes me cry too. Just avoid it. I like "Feliz Navidad" which was big in my childhood. For favorite Christmas songs it's between that and "A Partridge in a Pear Tree" which is completely old school but so fun to sing. There are so many horrible Christmas songs I'd be writing all day. Love your videos and sorry things are hard for you.
It's Amazing what GOOD plants you can find in the nurseries plant Garbage cans. I find a lot of good ones that way, do some re-hab on them and you have a nice free plant. They will give that stuff to you, or charge you next to nothing.
Am I the first to mention The Holly and the Ivy as a favorite Xmas song? As an avowed atheist, I also love Hark, the Herald Angels Sing! On another note, you look so dang cute in your holiday outfit. I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming and Happy Fucking Christmas!!!!
We love the traditional lights etc. for Christmas. But not putting a Tree up this year, only a very few little decorations, Nothing to put under a tree, so too much work when there's no gifts to put under it.

Really excellent advice.
Take a deep breath and live one day at a time!
I love Christmas Wrapping by the waitresses. Just cause they say Damn!! 😂
I’m sorry you’ve been having a tough time lately. I hope you get to find things that bring a little joy and comfort. This time will pass🖤

Look all year, in the thrift stores, for Christmas Decorations, you get some good deal's for lovely decorations. in those places

Aww, Patric, Joe wants you to enjoy this time of year
I founds those trains going around in circles annoying, but just think how your cats would love it.😼
I’ll be Home for Christmas is a favorite and I’m a multi color light girlie. Y’all are so cute. 💖💖
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs to both of you, from Nova Scotia. I so love seeing what your part of the continent has to offer. Thank you for this.
Happy holidays! 🧑🏾🎄
