Hey Anita. Yes girl I feel the same way. Things are rushed WAY too fast. PLUS with the climate right now it's just daunting to me and it took me a long time to get going this year too. I too did the bare minimum. I usually get a whole theme and start early looking for stuff for it. Not this year! I pulled a lil som som together but it was definitely not my usual. You have some really nice items and pull them together quite nicely so I always enjoy watching how you do it still even if you are using items that you already had. Still inspiring. We go to my aunt's house every year at Thanksgiving. I do not cook. Hi KoKo!!! It all turned out so PRETTY!! My "kids" are age range from 40 to 21 and I still decorate like they are babies. Ugh! We don't ever stop. Love you lady and we do love seeing you and understand that life is life so see you when we can.
Anita, your home is absolutely beautiful as always. When you buy good quality items, pack it correctly, and just take care of items you purchase in general. You don't have to go out year after year buying new merchandise. 🎄
Thank you Reba and exactly. I’ve tried to invest in quality pieces over the years so, I plan to definitely get my money’s worth out of them…lol. TFW!😊💕
Hi Anita, I absolutely love when you decorate. I agree, everything is always so rushed these days. It makes you feel like you're in a twilight zone lol. Almost feels like the holidays have come and gone before they even get here! I thought it was just me. 😂
Thank you so much and yes, you are a right, that’s exactly what it feels like. Plus, the true meaning of Christmas is missing and I think that’s a big part of it too. Have a great week and TFW!😊💕
Anita, I agree with you I'm a lot older 68 yrs. But you are so right every body in such a rush it doesn't seem like holidays any more so we can love our family make the best of it thank God because God's glory is all of our morning glory so have a bless Christmas and blessing to your Mother your home looks beautiful already stay safe
Thank you so much and with all the rushing, the true meaning of the season is being forgotten and that's sad. Happy Holidays to you and your family and TFW!
Hey Anita! I love the Christmas decorations for 2024!!!! I always do. Just goes to show that you don’t need to buy new Christmas decorations every year all the time. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Anita, First tell Mama Helen Hey. Thank you for taking the time out to taking us with you as you decorated you home for Christmas. Your such an inspiration on not get caught up in keeping up with the fab of decorating trends reuse and shifting decorations in different areas to me give a new look. much love to you and the family.
Hey Walt, I will definitely tell her. Also, thank you so much for your kind words and your continued support of me and my channel. I appreciate you and have a great week!
Hey Anita, you are absolutely right! Everything is different now. I totally agree with you about the holidays not feeling the same. The stores are changing the shelves earlier each year. It's all about the dollar and I'm so sick of it! Life is passing by faster each year. So, we just have to enjoy every moment. I didn't mean to say all of that but, you hit the hammer on the nail! 😅 As for the video, beautiful as usual. The home looks cozy and festive for Christmas. I just love your content. Many blessings to you, Lonnie, Cocoa and the family ❤
Thank you Carol and completely agree. Everything is so rushed nowadays, it feels like we’re rushing our lives away and I don’t like that. But m looking forward to catching up with you my friend.😊💕
Everything is beautiful, “I’m not doin a lot , and then proceed with about 5 tress and decorate every room.. I love it. lol 🎄 Happy Holidays to you and your family😊
lol… thank you Kimberly. Like I said in the video, this may seem like a lot to others but, compared to what I used to do, I’ve scaled back….lol. TFW!😊💕
Ir was so nice to see 👀 you ❤️ the house is beautiful, I know what you mean as I'm getting older I put less stuff up for the holidays...kids are grown with family. Take care 🙂
I totally agree with you on everything feeling so rushed ! When I was young we used to enjoy our Thanksgiving meal and then later on that evening we would put up the Christmas tree. I myself decorate the day after Thanksgiving, I want to enjoy the holidays separately and not feel like I’m having Christmas twice.
Exactly, like can we get back to one Holiday at a time. Nowadays, everything is so rushed, we are just rushing our lives away and I don’t like that. It really takes away the enjoyment and it’s actually kind of sad. Hope you and your family had Happy Thanksgiving and TFW!😊💕
@Rollinwithanita I always enjoy your decor videos! You bring a sense of calm, classy and cozy! I’m with you the holidays aren’t the same. I haven’t even put anything up & not sure if I’m going to..and also I’m ready to get rid of some of the things I have.. too much stuff is sooo much work and overrated (for me). I rather enjoy making memories. Everything looks soooo beautiful! You make bold statement with less! I LOVE It! ❤ TFS, Give Mama Helen a huge hug and enjoy your week! 🤗
Aw, thank you Shellie Shell. Girl, being over having a lot of things/stuff must definitely come with age. Because now I like things to be simple…lol. Before I would see something I like and would want yo buy it. Now, I’m like girl, you don’t need that…lol. I hope you and your family had a happy Thanksgiving and TFW!😊💕 oh and I will definitely give my mama your hug, she will love that.😘
Hey Anita! Going to try to keep my comment short. As always thanks for sharing your home decor with us. I love seeing your “decorate with me”videos. I can remember subscribing to your channel a few years ago, you don’t get caught up in the content creator world and trends (e.g. buying new decor, changing themes and colors every year) and you make sure your home doesn’t have that sterile look. Your Christmas decor is simple, yet beautiful and inviting! It’s funny you told us how you’ve used some of the same decor pieces and trees each year… I’ve watched a few TH-camrs who feel the need to not replicate their design from the previous year… like why not if you love it, lol! You’re right, seasons are so rushed now.
Hey girl hey, aw thank you so much for your kind words. Honestly, I can't and don't desire to keep up with all of these trends, it's too much and it becomes expensive. When I shop, I really try to focus on buying items that I love so that they can be used year after year (hence why I'm reusing them...lol). So glad you can appreciate the fact that I don't try to be like anyone else but myself and I really appreciate you and your continued support of me and my channel over the years. Happy Holidays to you and your family and TFW!
😊 Hi Anita, Watching you decorate and saw your Pier 1 bag. I too have held onto my Pier 1 bags and merchandise. They are classic to me and will never be repeated. A one of a kind store that offered unique items. I still miss them.
Heyyyy, I miss them too! I loved going into the store during the Holidays. They would have everything decorated so beautifully that you just had to or wanted to buy it. All the items that I have purchased from there have lasted for years, some even decades. Definitely was a one of a kind store. TFW!😊💕
Hello Anita~You are so correct! Everything is so rushed; everyone keeping up with the Jones’s~🤔, I’m 61 y/o~YT has a lot of people in a Trance these days~🤷🏽♀️~I was so shocked to see so many people on YT putting up Christmas decorations before Giving Thanks To The Lord~🙏🏽~Not talking about you because I know your daughter is coming home for Thanksgiving & unable to come for Christmas ~🙏🏽~. Your Home is always so Beautiful, Clean, Well put together & you are Never in Competition with others……Because there is None!~❤~ We Love You and Your Family~ Your Home is always Beautiful~ Thank You For Sharing & For Being You!~ Have A Blessed Holiday Season ~🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
Heyyyy Anita, as usual everything is absolutely beautiful. I love that you used what you had. I am toning down my Christmas decor this year as well. Like you mentioned as I get older, I don't need so much stuff! I put my decorations up the Sunday after Thanksgiving, this is plenty of time for me to enjoy without getting tired of it. Girl, that Thanksgiving meal looked so delicious! Hope you have a blessed week and happy holidays to you and y our family
I don’t get caught up in all the trending items, and I don’t decorate with the trendy brown and beige at Christmas, I too go all out with red and green. I may add a few items here and there but for the most part, I decorate with all the same items I’ve had for years. I appreciate channels like yours who decorate from the heart ❤️ 🎄 not based on what’s trending.
Hey girl. I’m from Canada so we have thanksgiving in October so I usually start decorating in November. I also use what I have… there’s no money to go out each year and get new stuff. The stores do rush the holidays and it’s getting worst. Stay blessed..😊
Hi Anita! So glad to "see" you. Here watching... I absolutely LOVE the vivid red. It's what Christmas is..besides Jesus/Yeshua , of course. Ok...back to your video❤❤❤
Anita, the Red is poppin, what a beautiful choice of color to beautify your home for the Christmas season..you have nice decorations, why spend them dead presidents if you don’t have to $$$$$$$ hey KoKo.. Blessings!!!
❤🌲Hi Anita, your home is so warm, cozy and inviting,❤ready to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏🏾❤️🌲☃️ beautiful,❤ I'm not in the mood this year, because it doesn't seem the same, you're not alone 🙏🏾 many blessings to your family, I have Miss you ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
