Decorating an 1820s Christmas Tree |No Talking Real Historic Recipes|

- Being half German I decided to take part in this trend quickly growing popularity in the Americas - indoor Christmas trees. These are decorated with fruits and cookies, hence why they were often once called Sugar Trees. If you had children they would have also been decorated with toys which the children couldn't play with till Christmas day. These trees were usually put up only a few days before Christmas to preserve the quality of the sweets. On Christmas day the family was allowed to pick off the sweet fruits and cookies from the tree. Other common decorations were small candles, ribbons, and small paper envelopes filled with dried fruit.

If history class was like this in high school, I would’ve paid more attention. This channel is awesome👏🏻
I've learned more on this channel than I did in history classes. Thank you.
I agree I have learned more by watching this to I really enjoy the channel
but this is not how real early americans live, this is how europeans live
It's historically inaccurate. Very few American homes would have done this.
Yeah.... I love European culture... Beautiful culture beautiful people
If this video doesn't put you in the Christmas mood, nothing will.
The dogs barking jingle bells does it for me (no pressure which kind of Xmas to have, yada)

Right? Love theses videos so relaxing and calm
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING. The story 'Twas the Night Before Christmas was published in New York in 1823 and is the first mention of a Santa Clause with 8 reindeer. No, Queen Victoria was not the first royal to embrace Christmas trees. Queen Charlotte was. She famously threw a party for children in the year 1800 that included a massive indoor Christmas tree covered in toys and sweets. It is said that Christmas [starting in the early 1800s onwards] caught on faster in the United States than it did in England where it eventually became even more popularized by Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. In the early 1800s who put up Christmas trees in the U.S. ? Christmas trees mainly existed in areas heavy with German, Dutch and French immigrants. In Pennsylvania especially some very unique Christmas traditions arose such as hanging trees upside-down from the ceiling to keep children and mice away from the sweets on the tree. I'm half German (from my dad's side) so that's my excuse! The history of Christmas is fascinating! Please do not just quickly google when the first Christmas tree came to the U.S. as it will say the 1830s. That is inaccurate and as you know true historical research goes much deeper than the first link. The 2nd link says a different date entirely so how can you know what is reliable? There are several mentions of indoor Christmas trees in Pennsylvania and New York that pre date 1825, some of which I have included at the end of this video. This includes an early image of a Christmas tree painted in Pennsylvania by a German immigrant family. While many did not put up Christmas trees at this time others did and it is them that we can thank for pushing the tradition forward into what we have today. Watch us talk about the history of Christmas in America here: th-cam.com/video/AM9kb2-FHjk/w-d-xo.html
I'm from MA. all my life and had no idea !
In Canada (Québec) the christmas tree came from german soldiers (XVIII century). A French-Canadian saw that in the front of a house's window and go to do the same thing!😇
Actually originating from pagans.. as part of the solstice celebrations, they decorated their homes with greens in anticipation of the spring to come. Evergreen trees remained green during the coldest and darkest days, so they were thought to hold special powers.
I'd love to see more crafting videos on this channel 🙏❤ or day in the life of an 1800s wife from morning til night 😍
I did not know that, Ive lived in MA my entire life!
No joke, that kitten is responding to Justine’s kindness and gentleness.
It is a lovely affectionate animal!!
those pretty eyes said it all 😍
Yea, gentleness: th-cam.com/video/IcQK54w4zMA/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely beautiful! A perfect picture postcard. MishMish is adorable! Looks like she found her home and humans.
Very sweet loving animal!!
I work in retail in the 21st century so it's all very stressful and soul-draining at this time of year, and I've been struggling to maintain my Christmas spirit and not become a proper Humbug - this video certainly helped! Y'all just make me warm and fuzzy inside from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. And now a kitty cat, as if it couldn't be any more perfect!
You're a strong soul! Thank you for being here.
I respect the hard work you! 🎄🎅
13 years in retail Hell here. Finally out. Don’t let it ruin your spirit, friend.
omg, this kitty loves Justine so much. I guess she was waiting for you to come along.
Lovely. Kitty is adorable.
I like to decorate with cranberries, gingerbread cookies, dried citrus slices, and popcorn. Makes my apartment smell yummy!
Merry Christmas to y'all and the river rats!
When I was in Germany, we didn't have any decorations for our tree. So I got a Christmas coloring book, colored the pictures, cut them out and hung those on the tree. We also strung popcorn and the old pop tops into a chain and used both for garland. Turned out really nice.
That is very interesting actually. I used to have family traditions, now I'm 2000 miles away from family and struggle to have my own. As a kid I was so excited about Christmas that I got in trouble every year when we decorated the tree, and I was sent to my room. Even when my mom got permission from my dad to let me out a couple hours later (after the tree was done and everyone had their hot chocolate), I would stay in the room by myself. I wish I had an opportunity to experience your Christmas festivities!
From Italy,auguri di Buon Natale ad una coppia tenerissima che ci fa vivere con questi video parte della storia americana.
Aww I love that you all have a cat now! The perfect addition to ur lil family!!
Hello how are you doing?
@@franklinstephen3268 Hi! Doing good! How about you?
@@angies.4961 I’m doing great, thanks for asking. It’s nice meeting with you here. Where are you texting from?
@@franklinstephen3268 Hi! I live in Ohio.. and what about you?
@@angies.4961 I’m originally from Canada but currently living here in California. How’s the weather condition over there?
Your such a cute couple. I'm glad you found each other!❤️❤️
loved this, watching from the smoky mountains where we all celebrate Christmas for months
Merry Christmas to you both and to each and every one of you reading this. Let’s hope 2023 will be kinder to us all 🎅🏼☃️❄️🎄
Can’t say it enough times….these videos with no dialogue are so therapeutic. ❤️
I grew up in Maine in a small town. It was very common in New England to still keep up with some of these old ways. Decorating a Christmas tree with fruit garlands or even popcorn. Candles in every window. We even had a red twig star to put on top. It's cool to see that some traditions that started hundreds of years ago are still going strong. 🙂
I love the natural garland on the tree. It's simple but so pretty. Mish Mish is precious . I am glad she found a loving home. The video made me smile .
Everything Justine does is very sweet, careful and and precise. Merry Christmas to all who visit here and especially to our hosts!
When i was little and used to have a family, i used to love to decorate our Christmas tree with both my parents, now that they are both gone... seeing your video Evoque the most beautiful memories in my heart about my childhood's Christmas, after so many years without them, now i feel like having a Christmas tree once again, I thank you so much for that. Also, you MishMish looks like her eyes lights up when she looks at you while hugging each other, that is so adorable! 😻🎄❤
hope you have a very enjoyable time decorating your Tree. Im sure your parents will be right there beside you 🌟
@@lillegoman awww thank you❤
God bless you 🤗 I hope you do put up a tree! 🎄
Merry Christmas!
@@sherryjohnson3804 Thank you so much Sherry, i got my tree!! YAY God bless you too and your loved ones ❤🎄
So sweet, warm and wonderful ❤️. I can almost smell the word smoke, the cabin, the spicy cookies, the apples and the tree. Thank you for sharing...
I am Pennsylvania Dutch and French Canadian. I love make homemade things for the Christmas tree. Love this with you make the cookies too. Can’t wait to see the tree all done
I am a real Dutch 🇳🇱
Love the gingerbread cookies and apples on the tree. Simple yet wonderful
AMAZING. I love the simplicity and beauty of this. Merry Christmas!
That cat is absolutely gorgeous. Love this cabin; it's so beautiful
The tree looks great and Mish Mish is a sweety! This has put in the Christmas spirit!
I rarely get emotional and teary you both got me there with this video~ lots of good memories came to me and Ken and I have a black cat Coal! 🐈⬛ Welcome Mish Mish! 🐈⬛ Happy Holidays, Happy magical Winter solstice and Yule! Love your videos! 🎄💚❤️
I used to have a little black cat - she was the runt of the litter, her name was Black Bear, she's been gone a long time now. 😢
This was so WHOLESOME!...thx a bunch for your efforts guys
This is great! As a civil war reenactor, I truly appreciate how much research and time goes into a video like this. Life was harder back then,, but so much simpler than today. Thank you for keeping history alive!
I just love that Christmas tree! I feel like I've lost my Christmas mojo these last few years. Watching this video makes me realize this is what Christmas should be. Warm and cozy with traditions. I think the Christmas trees back in the day were so pretty! Thanks for this lovely video!
Hello how are you doing?
I'm Jewish and it breaks even my heart to see what Christmas has become. So tacky and garish now, and centred on presents.
I absolutely loved the beginning with you and the cat giving yourself affection.
Me encantan vuestros videos, como se vivía en aquellos años ,se deben de conservar esas tradiciones un saludo desde España!!!
I love this video! Reminds me of being a little girl and going out with my uncles to the woods on my grandparents' land to cut down a Christmas tree. And the song is one of my favorites, "Drive the Cold Winter Away!" And I have a black cat named Nigel. So of course I am going to love this video! My great grandparents immigrated from Germany back in the late 1800s.
And when my heart needed some more historical Christmas, here this is! I especially love the incorporation of the piece “Drive the Cold Winter Away”!
Awww, what an adorable void baby! MishMish is a sweetie! One thing I love about fresh trees is their scent, nothing beats it.
I took your advice and just binged watched all 15 of your dramas. I must say I have laughed so hard I cried. I have an autoimmune condition that keeps me at home more than I wish. It was such a joy to have something to watch that made me laugh so hard I forgot about my pain for a little while. Please keep up the wonderful work. I just love you guys so much 💓
To Drive the Cold Winter Away-you surely did that with your welcoming fire, sweet cat, beautiful tree, delicious gingerbread, colorful cranberry garland, and shiny apples. And, lest I forget, the warm and wonderful hug and kiss between you and Ron at the end of this lovely video.
This is wonderful! I ❤ MishMish so much! She is so cuddly & cute. And the tree looks gorgeous! This video makes my heart happy. 🙏🏽
Less than two minutes in and I'm hooked! New subscriber from the UK. The tree's bark is so blue! Love the content, so informative.
Such a beautiful depiction of sweeter and gentler times, taking care of home and hearth, and loving each other. Cant wait to try stringing whole cranberries together or making gingersnaps! Thanks again for reminding us of how to find some peace and calm among all the chaos. Its all about family and home and hearth. Its not about having money and "things
/toys" that make life special. Doing a fun task together is so bonding. No internet, no play station, no computers. Just love.
I remember! I'm old enough, and came from a family poor enough, that i remember threading cranberries and popcorn for garland just like Justine in this video!
Love this video much simpler times !Very peaceful also! Happy Holidays to all who read this !🥰
How sweet! I love it! It’s nice to have a cat on the warm hearth. So cozy. The cabin looks festive!🎄❤️
That was fantastic! Welcome Mishmash... Love the cookie ornaments.🎄 The cabin is looking so festive, Justine & Ron. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
What a sweet and affectionate cat. You have a very cozy home. Thank you for the wonderful video 💖
Siete una famiglia meravigliosa, che con tanta semplicità, fate tante cose buone da mangiare. Vivere come si viveva tanti anni fa, non è molto facile ci vuole tanto amore e bontà. Avete avuto un dono da Dio, quello di aiutarvi insieme e di volersi bene. Tutto questo proviene dal vostro cuore e dall'anima che c'è in voi. BUONE FESTE. Grazie mille ciao.
Watching you trim your tree reminds me of the sweetness and innocence of my childhood Christmases. Thank you for that! Merry Christmas you two. And your sweet new kitty! 🐈⬛ ❤🎄🎅💚
This was absolutely the sweetest video ever.❤️
It is very pleasant to perceive, that quiet, domestic, cozy holidays are not alien to rude big men! And they also take part in the making of holiday decorations for the home.🤗🤗🤗🙃😄👍👍✊
We just recently inherited a cat as well, they are nice company. Merry Christmas and thank you for the refreshing content.
What a simple but beautiful way to trim a tree. I love your videos.
I worked for 3 years at an open air museum. The settlers cabin was my favorite. I loved being in there, especially during storms. It was so cozy.
Hello how are you doing?
My grandma was born in 1921. I remember she used to have us string popcorn on the Christmas tree ❤
My Mimi did the same thing (born 1919). We'd pop some on the stove and string about half of it. The other half got eaten during the stringing. Can't wait for my little boy to be old enough to do it.
My grandma as well 8/05/1921
My only grandparent that lived long enough for the grandkids to know, was my paternal grandmother, born in 1899 and died in 1999. She was of German descent. We were in the military, so we didn't live near her most of the time, and only visited occasionally. Now my parents are also gone, and haven't felt like decorating for years.
MishMish is so cute! She found a perfect home right in time for the holidays.The tree is beautiful!
The tree turned out really pretty..Thanks Justin and Ron...love the Kitty⛄⛄
I am half German on my mother’s side, so that’s my excuse, too. I bet your cabin smells so good with the tree and garlands and the ginger bread cookies. Love this! I voted for the tree so thanks for doing it today… 🎄🥰💕❤️👍👍👍
Just lovely. The tree. The apples, cranberry and cookie decorations. The natural garland. Beautiful.
I like the music you used for this video. And you didn't have to say a word to convey the Christmas spirit and a cozy loving atmosphere. A serene peek at 200 years ago!
That kitty loves you Justine ❤. Love your tree and decorations. Happy Holidays!
Hello how are you doing?
"MishMish" translates into Apricot in Arabic, and that's what we call the ginger cats. Any way your black MishMish is sooooooo sweet.♥🖤❤
Beautiful video, it felt very intimate and warm
What a sweet little kitty. The love of a cat is special. I don't know how, but keep it indoors. Mine get so much love, they won't go out even if the door is open. Of course they are older and less rambunctious. They usually settle in with age. Absolutely adorable!
Thank you Justine and Ron. What a perfect tree!!!! I love the cookie cutters too . I watched you and Kandye on her channel so it is so cool to see the cutters being used in a traditional historic receipt! The tree decorating was truly heartwarming. I love the simplicity and whimsy of natural ornaments.
Edible Christmas tree decorations!! Perfect! No storing them in the attic for next year!!
MishMish has certainly adapted to you guys!! Nice of her to let you use her cabin!! 😉
Beautiful tree. Beautiful cabin. Much harder but better way of life. Thanks 4 this video.
I live in Williamsburg Virginia and worked for Colonial Williamsburg so we use to decorate a special tree just for the birds and animals. It was similar to this tree. We also added pine cones smeared with peanut butter and seeds. We placed it out side our kitchen window to enjoy. Thank you for keeping the old ways alive. 🎄🌲
Williamsburg is my favorite place on Earth. My home is Williamsburg themed.
Not gonna lie I would’ve eaten all the decorations on the tree by the time Christmas came 😂
You and Ron both.
My grandparents on both sides were born around 1930’s I remember apples on them tree when I was a little girl .
One of my greatest loves was a black cat. Your heart will never be the same.
I remember coming back to your channel last Winter. This year's Christmas content is as good as the last. Thanks for adding some spice to my Winter this year once again. I'll be back next year as well. Thanks again from CA
Love this music! Very medieval. Mish Mish is absolutely adorable. Beautiful and calming video. Thank you, Justine and Ron, for sharing your world with us. ❤
Simple and Beautiful!!!! I Love it !!!🤗
Exactly what I ask for 😊thank you both ❤ merry Christmas
Ive already watched this twice. What a pretty little tree. And kitty. Merry Christmas to you both
Hi how are you doing?
Greetings from London 🇬🇧. Love your tree 🎄 and the homey feel , really transports you back in time. Adore Mish Mish what a beautiful kitty 🐱❤ xx
Sweet kitty. Watch out she doesn't climb the Christmas tree! Love the music.
She is a very precious kitty. I remember when I was a kid, we would use pop corn and thread to make a garland to put around the tree.
Love, love, love your Christmas tree! The decor ya'll did is so festive in your home. Sweet Mish-Mish...welcome home kitty.💗
I see you got yourselves a beautiful miniture black panther! I have one too! I must warn you though...cats often don't get along with Christmas trees! Take it from someone knows from plenty of experience!
Aww, the kitty had teary eyes, like telling you thank you for rescuing him. We love you MishMish.❤️
Black cats are simply adorable
I love watching the Christmas decorate with me videos…but this is by far my most favorite one ❤ a single tree, beautifully and simply decorated ❤ And MishMish is adorable! Thank you for saving her 💕
LOVE this video! Such a cozy feel! And I'm in love with your fireplace! Thanks for taking us all along. 😊
I would be on fire by now
I wish I could give 10 thumbs up for the new kitty😍
I love decorating with strings of fruit. They dehydrate and are ready to jar up for later use. No waste 🥰
I've really warmed to this channel so fast - you're both so endearing, and it's awesome to see you make so many old recipes and do so many old traditions. Fantastic videos!
(Also welcome to MishMish!
Beautiful tree! I loved all the homemade ornaments and garland. Puts you in the Christmas spirit! I love Mish Mish! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Simply wonderful. The decorations, the atmosphere, the mood. Everything is absolutely lovely.
What a sweet little kitty. ❤️
Que linda decoração,amei 😍🥰
Очень трогательно. Смотрела с удовольствием.
Wow 🤩
How interesting,

❤❤❤
Your tree is so beautiful and I love your decor with fruits(cranberry and apple) and gingerbread cookies.
Thank you for the recipe.
Thanks for Video. Love it. ❤️

Good to see you both.
Merry Christmas.
I lost my kitty, a chonky black kitty named Baer, last December. He was 11 when he passed. It’s been a really hard year without him but this month in particular sucks arse. I still cry a lot. Seeing your sweet-faced kitty both warmed my heart and broke it. She looks to be a very loving fluffer and I’m sure she’ll be loved and cared for. Thank you for sharing her with us. Your videos are most definitely one of the bright spots of my day.
Pleased to meet Mish Mish! She seems to be more affectionate than my dog. *crying!
I love that you have a black cat 🐈⬛ Some people are still superstitious about them, but I have one too, and she is so sweet
I think it's gotesque when people let their animals climb all over the kitchen table and cabinets.......like cat hair in your food?......it sets off my OCD!
I have a curious question for any big history buffs out there, are these the type of tree decorations and gingerbread recipes that would have been used still by the time Laura Ingalls Wilder was alive a few decades later? I love the Little House books and show, so I’m just imagining if this is the type of Christmas the Ingalls family still had 😊
I love that you have a cat,they always make a home so happy and cozy,
thank you for reminding us what is important! Many blessings and peace to all!
Aww MishMish is absolutely precious 💖 You know what they say comes next after a kitten? 😉 🥰
A dog? 😆
A litter box? Lol
