Both 2022 and 2023 were really cozy and beautiful but my favorite was the 2022, that's when I first started watching your channel and I watched that 2022 Christmas video over and over again because it was so nice and cozy... I love your little house.... It's just the right size and it's adorable.... I also love the fact that you share your faith in Jesus Christ with your friends here on Facebook.... God bless you all...
Hello Michele, this was so much fun to watch! I love Christmas and it can't come soon enough for me. I loved both videos, but I think the 2022 Christmas will always be close to my heart, because that is the first video I ever saw of yours, and have been blessed with your beautiful friendship ever since. Thank you for bringing joy in the middle of this very hot and sticky summer here in CT!! ❤🎄❤
Debbie you are so precious, thank you beautiful friend. I'm always so thankful to have you watch but more importantly the friendship that we have through these videos. You are such a blessing to me! Thank YOU!!!
My goodness-how will you top these past two years. The 2023 seemed more sparkly with the Rathco? glass ornaments. And all the little bowls of shiny little glass ornaments. Last year seemed simpler overall but still as beautiful. The garlands and greenery showed up more. At least to me. I loved the green pillows on the sofa. There's just something about greenery, wood furniture, little lights and Santa mugs. Can't wait to see what you come up with this time. You're gonna need another barn! Loved how you used sooo many trees. I will say, I like the dining room table year before last better. It's me and the trees😅😂. Of course, I love everything you do. Have fun collecting friend. God bless.
Thank you so much sweet Judy! I do like things from each year and I'm already thinking how I can change things up. I agree with the table arrangement, I liked the dough bough with the trees. YES... for certain I will need another barn or bigger home! Love and blessings to you sweet friend!
Michele I love both years of your Christmas decorating. So many inspiring ideas. Of course I love all your wonderful vintage pieces especially the ones that have a special memory attached. There’s just nothing like vintage. You always inspire me with your decorating. Have a great weekend. Love and blessings sweet friend. ❤️💚❤️
Love you sweet Jean! You are always so thoughtful and kind and any compliment from you is a true blessing. I just adore you and all of your beautiful one of a kind treasures.
Christmas!!! I just love it! You decorate so beautifully, I can’t pick just one year! As my daughter says (she’s 24, with DS), I can’t wait!! Keep up the hunt!
Your daughter is precious! After putting it together it makes me ready for the upcoming holidays. They seem to come much sooner than later! Thank you sweet friend for watching. Tell your sweet daughter I said hello!
Oh my beautiful bestie, there’s no way to choose which year looks best because you always have a stunning home at Christmas! I’ve been binging your Fall and Christmas videos for early inspiration! ❤🎄🍂
Michele, I love vintage Christmas anytime! I thrift for it all year long and always find great inspiration on your videos. I loved 2022 Christmas the best because it seemed to spotlight the vintage look. Love the paper feather tree and the old candles in the dining room buffet! Have a blessed day!❤
Thank you Michele, I'm like you and I'm always on the hunt for vintage Christmas. It's so much fun to collect and add to your decor for the new year. I'm so thankful to have you watch, God bless you sweet friend!
Thanks for sharing your home and vintage Christmas decor. It’s all just beautiful 🎄🎅🏼 I especially love your Hoosier cabinet and how you have it decorated with the Santa mugs and tiered trays full of vintage glass ornaments and of course the vintage Christmas wreaths, I believe I have a similar one. And the old ornament boxes and vintage packaging full of Santa head picks… Just great! I’ve subscribed so I don’t miss any new videos. 🥰❤️
It's all beautiful. I love Christmas too! I have one tree that stays up in the Christmas Diner all year. I just themed this little extra dining room in Christmas, so I have an excuse. lol I have to know what kind of blinking lights are on your tree. I want a few to add to my main tree. Those blink the way I like. Love your Santa's. I decorate in Traditional too...always. Thank you! Now back to your video.
You lucky thing!!! Christmas all year, how fun! The tree the first year 2022, are just regular ole lights that I use the blinkers on, for 2023 it is the King of Christmas tree and it has different settings for the lights. I just love that tree, so fun to have. I did add color lights because they remind me of home and I just put the twinkle lights in those that come with the lights. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching! God bless!
Oh Michele, I’ve been feeling down lately and, I’m not kidding, last night I thought about putting up my Christmas tree to cheer me up! (I didn’t). And lo and behold, this morning I see this video! Thank you so much for lifting my spirits!! I absolutely love vintage Christmas and you do an amazing job! Bless you for sharing this with us ❤
Oh sweet Judy I am so sorry that you have been feeling down. I have been fighting it too, really bad! It did bring a smile to my face to see that holiday decor again and then it made me worry about how I was gonna change it for this year! Oh my!!! You always bless me and I'm gonna pray that you feel much happier in the days ahead. Love you!
Your home is always so beautiful for Christmas. You asked which is the favorite. It is very hard to pick, but the 2022 tree is my favorite! It was so full and gorgeous! But like I said each year your home is beautiful.
Thank you Deb, you are so sweet and kind! I love adding in more and more on my tree...something about having ALL the ornament on there just makes me happy! Love and blessings to you!
Good morning. What a nice way to start the morning! Christmas in July I’m all for it!! 🌲I saw so many beautiful pieces that reminded me of my childhood. In particular there were the red stockings with your family’s names…we had those too. Unfortunately we no longer have them. 😢 Thank you for the inspiration….your home is truly a Christmas wonderland! ❤
I love those old red family stocking, with our names written in glitter. My mother paid someone to make them and of course they spelled my name wrong! LOL! I love that I can display my sister's Tammi's....so special to me. The other ones are just old ones that I collected but I love the graphics. I sure wish you had yours. Thank you so much for watching! God bless you sweet friend.
Michele both years are so beautiful ❤❤ i cannot choose one 😊 i am so excited for christmas 🤩🤩 i am so looking forward to See what you will do this year ❤
Me too Christian and I can't wait to see what wonderful things you will do this year. Your home is always magical! Love and blessings to you and your sweet Mum!!!
I'm so sorry, I wasn't trying to take anything away from Christmas, just thinking about the what's to come and wanted to share some ideas. Thank you for watching and God bless you!
How beautiful this is ! I don’t know how you could improve on this year’s decor but I’m anxious to see it ! I just love Christmas decorations but I’m starting to get overwhelmed as I age ! Maybe since the kids are no longer living here I’ll start gradually down sizing ! Wishing you many blessings Michelle!❤️❤️
Oh the Christmas tree is just stunning!!😮 Sooo many beautiful vintage ornaments & that topper! I love the big Santa🎅 Any time i see a silver tree it bring back so many childhood memories🥹 My Mama had the big silver tree decorated with only solid color glass balls. Instead of lights on the tree we had the color wheel. I loved turning out the lights and sitting by the wheel, watching the tree & ornaments sparkle😊 And i loved helping put up the tree, i can still hear the sound of each single branch sliding out of the brown paper rolls that laid in the box waiting for Christmas! And we had A 4' Santa blow mold my dad bought my first Christmas in 1964. He would get on the roof & strap it to the chimney😊 After my parents separated, my mom couldn't do out so it sat on the front porch by the door, and it continued to sit there every year until my mom got sick & had to go to assisted living. So my kids & 2 oldest grandkids got to enjoy it also. The tree was eventually replaced & then away, but the Santa was still there, breaks my heart i couldn't get it😢 I've Actually collected quite a few vintage things for this year I'm so excited for! I had a few things, but this week be my first year really decorating with mostly vintage. I'm definitely going to continue to thrift hot pieces until Christmas gets here😁 I hope to find a few santa mugs, i don't have any so that will be on top of my hunt list until Christmas! I never thought to out one of my cloches on a silver platter, that looks really pretty for Christmas decor! I've been looking for one of the vintage ceramic tree with the lights. I know they have the replicas new, I'd really rather have a vintage one if I can find it. Love your collection of vintage ornaments & shiny brights. The red stockings with glue glitter names are very nostalgic, i continued to make those even for my kids when they were little, and my grandkids.😊 I love all your tiered trays, very inspiring! And the cloches are beautiful, especially love the one with the nativity scene!❤ The dining table centerpiece is gorgeous! And all your mercury bead spikes..wow amazing collection!! My Mama & my grandma always had the old plastic candles in all the windows. Grandmas house had A big picture window, that's where her tree was, but she had the candelabra like yours sitting there too. Grandma would sometimes use blue bulbs in hers, mama always had white. I like the bulbs in yours, where did you get them? The large Candy dish with decor in it is a great idea! So many pretty bottle brush trees🎄 Love the old paper feather tree! I'd love to find some mercury beads, vintage bottle brush trees a paper feather tree! I found a couple Santa, but of course i hope to find more. Definitely be looking gift ornaments too! Lol I'll be looking for everything😄 And definitely got to get started soon! I found several of the old resin santas cleaning out some storage buildings back in the spring, along with several other things.. had to send some to the thrift store we owned but i was able to get some good pieces. There were 3 large buildings packed with things, so much Christmas decor in all 3 of them! That was fun!😊 Girl I have several large totes still in storage back in NC, but there's not any vintage in it. Ahhh the first red stocking!😉😊 The porch is really pretty..i wanted a sleigh & Ice skates last year but could find either. They're on the hunt list for sure! I plan to get a new tree this year, mine is rather large & flocked. I bought it my last year in NC when i had a large living room. My daughter has used it since, our apt in TN was too small so i have it to her. I was a slimmer tree & no flocking.. its beautiful but so messy & I'm just ready for a change. My tree I used in the apt was a really nice table top.. It has flocking & what look like Ice, & red berries, its beautiful & I'll still use it, but I'm going to get a new one! Love the decor in the empty frames! I want a red pipberry Garland for my faux fireplace i was gifted last year for Christmas! Its in A big wood cabinet with a shelf & bookcases on the sides. I didn't get to decorate it last year since it was a gift.. so excited to decorate it this year! First fireplace I've had since i left NC! Fav thing to decorate besides the tree! I also have my step back & 3 old, but new to me, bookcase units this year! I've got to get busy finding decor!😄 I love the coffee bar area 2023.. sooo pretty!❤ I'm sure this year will be beautiful! The kitchen looked really pretty! The Hoosier is always beautiful, one of my favorite pieces in your home! Well, you know I'm jealous, i want one so bad!! lol joking about being jealous!😄 I do really hope to have one some day tho! I did watch you fire decorate in 2023, i thats when i found your channel. I watched a couple Christmas thrift videos, then the decorating ones. Seems like we've been friends forever tho! This tree topper in the dining room is pretty! Michelle everything is just gorgeous, all the pieces & decorating! I love both years! Something about 2022 seemed special, idk but i love both years! I got tons of inspiration.. can't wait to see what i find in all these stores😁 As Always Thank You For Sharing Your Home With Us! Excited to see what you do this year! Oh I love the bible verse! Love you sweet friend.. Prayers & may many blessings come your way!!🙏🏻❤
I love to ready your messages sweet friend, you always bring me exactly to where you're at and I just love it. We had the same silver tree and our sweet Momma would put only one kind of bulb on the tree and then the color changing wheel, it sat in our formal living room where the picture window was so it could be seen from the road. Our other tree was in the den. Friend you will find some Santa mugs and the other things you are looking for. I'm excited for you to find them and I know you will have so much fun decorating this year. Any news on your husband's job? Please let me know....I have been praying. Love you precious friend and I'm so thankful you found me on youtube.
@@YVYOU Thank You! I'm extra glad i found YOU😊 Those Christmas memories are the best aren't they?! He started his regular job yesterday!🙌🏻 We feel this may be temporary, who knows?? But the ministry that we hope to start will take awhile, probably as least up to a year. Right now We're just focusing on getting settled & finding a home here. Its all I'm Gods timing, not ours.. you know hot that works😄 We're just ready to serve & do whatever he leads us to do & whenever! I'm still praying for you too my friend, hope things are better or getting better! And again Michelle thank you so so much for all your prayers, they've definitely been felt! Just continue to keep us in your prayers & I'll definitely keep you in mine 🙏🏻 love you girlfriend!❤
@tammyleviner3070 love you too precious friend. I have no doubt that God has great plans for you both. Your love for the Lord is so amazing ing. Yes, I will always be praying as I feel like y’all are part of our family too!! Have a blessed day my dear friend!
Good morning my beautiful sweet friend. It would be hard to choose a year since they were both so beautiful. A few years ago I moved from the home my husband and I lived in and the house I bought was not finished being built. Unfortunately my things had to go into storage with the moving company and all my Christmas things were lost. Looking at your video brought back the good memories as some of your items I had. Thank you for always leaving me with happy memories. God bless. Love,hugs and prayers.
Jeanie that just hurts my heart to think they lost your precious Christmas decor. Ughh, that would hurt my heart so much. I'm sure you have some wonderful things now but I'm always so glad to bring a memory to your kind heart. You are always the sweetest blessings. Love you my precious friend.
How beautiful this is ! I don’t know how you could improve on this year’s decor but I’m anxious to see it ! I just love Christmas decorations but I’m starting to get overwhelmed as I age ! Maybe since the kids are no longer living here I’ll start gradually down sizing ! I was wondering where you got that paper fringe looking tree ? I just love your style ! Blessings my friend!❤️❤️
Thank you sweet Karla for watching this one, I love Christmas and it takes me forever and a day to decorate and I do get overwhelmed at times but it's so much fun each year. I found that paper tree at a vintage market years ago and thought it was so cool, it's one of my favorites! Love and blessings to you always!
Can someone please give me feedback because I wanna change colors and Themes this year. No Red, it's too overdone and I need a break from it. I was thinking about Pink & White or Sage and Silver ? Thoughts please ❤4:05
I say use the colors that bring you joy, no matter what they are. You can really gage your color inspiration by looking at Pinterest, I believe that have many post in those color schemes. I'm very traditional with lots of vintage things so I will always use red, but I believe any color would be gorgeous at Christmas if you love it. Choose the colors you are drawn too and I know it will be perfect!
Come on over Kristie, I'd love to have you visit. I've been collecting for at least 20 years or more, it's always fun to see what you can find. Thank you for watching!
I'm sorry Angela, I just thought it would be fun to look back and start planning for the upcoming holiday season. I was only hoping to inspire, not take away from the the Holiday. Love and blessings to you dear friend.
Both 2022 and 2023 were really cozy and beautiful but my favorite was the 2022, that's when I first started watching your channel and I watched that 2022 Christmas video over and over again because it was so nice and cozy...

Hello Michele, this was so much fun to watch! I love Christmas and it can't come soon enough for me. I loved both videos, but I think the 2022 Christmas will always be close to my heart, because that is the first video I ever saw of yours, and have been blessed with your beautiful friendship ever since. Thank you for bringing joy in the middle of this very hot and sticky summer here in CT!! ❤🎄❤

Your home is always so beautiful for Christmas. You asked which is the favorite. It is very hard to pick, but the 2022 tree is my favorite! It was so full and gorgeous! But like I said each year your home is beautiful.
Thank you Deb, you are so sweet and kind! I love adding in more and more on my tree...something about having ALL the ornament on there just makes me happy! Love and blessings to you!
Loved both, can’t choose one over the other! Your decorating ability is unmatched! Love how you put things together ❤😊
Good morning. What a nice way to start the morning! Christmas in July I’m all for it!! 🌲I saw so many beautiful pieces that reminded me of my childhood. In particular there were the red stockings with your family’s names…we had those too. Unfortunately we no longer have them. 😢 Thank you for the inspiration….your home is truly a Christmas wonderland! ❤
I love those old red family stocking, with our names written in glitter. My mother paid someone to make them and of course they spelled my name wrong! LOL!

I agree, each to its own but to me Christmas in July takes away from the excitement as Christmas gets closer. I prefer the old fashioned way!
I'm so sorry, I wasn't trying to take anything away from Christmas, just thinking about the what's to come and wanted to share some ideas. Thank you for watching and God bless you!
How beautiful this is ! I don’t know how you could improve on this year’s decor but I’m anxious to see it ! I just love Christmas decorations but I’m starting to get overwhelmed as I age ! Maybe since the kids are no longer living here I’ll start gradually down sizing ! Wishing you many blessings Michelle!❤️❤️

I watched a couple Christmas thrift videos, then the decorating ones. Seems like we've been friends forever tho! This tree topper in the dining room is pretty! Michelle everything is just gorgeous, all the pieces & decorating! I love both years! Something about 2022 seemed special, idk but i love both years! I got tons of inspiration.. can't wait to see what i find in all these stores😁 As Always Thank You For Sharing Your Home With Us! Excited to see what you do this year! Oh I love the bible verse! Love you sweet friend.. Prayers & may many blessings come your way!!🙏🏻❤
I love to ready your messages sweet friend, you always bring me exactly to where you're at and I just love it. We had the same silver tree and our sweet Momma would put only one kind of bulb on the tree and then the color changing wheel, it sat in our formal living room where the picture window was so it could be seen from the road. Our other tree was in the den. Friend you will find some Santa mugs and the other things you are looking for. I'm excited for you to find them and I know you will have so much fun decorating this year. Any news on your husband's job? Please let me know....I have been praying. Love you precious friend and I'm so thankful you found me on youtube.
@@YVYOU Thank You! I'm extra glad i found YOU😊 Those Christmas memories are the best aren't they?! He started his regular job yesterday!🙌🏻 We feel this may be temporary, who knows?? But the ministry that we hope to start will take awhile, probably as least up to a year. Right now We're just focusing on getting settled & finding a home here. Its all I'm Gods timing, not ours.. you know hot that works😄 We're just ready to serve & do whatever he leads us to do & whenever! I'm still praying for you too my friend, hope things are better or getting better! And again Michelle thank you so so much for all your prayers, they've definitely been felt!

I love how you decorate. I take something from each of your videos. Thank you for sharing and keep doing what makes YOU happy!
Sweet friend you are so thoughtful and a blessing to have here!!! Thank you!!
@@YVYOU thank you, as are you 🤗
Good morning my beautiful sweet friend. It would be hard to choose a year since they were both so beautiful. A few years ago I moved from the home my husband and I lived in and the house I bought was not finished being built. Unfortunately my things had to go into storage with the moving company and all my Christmas things were lost. Looking at your video brought back the good memories as some of your items I had. Thank you for always leaving me with happy memories. God bless. Love,hugs and prayers.
Jeanie that just hurts my heart to think they lost your precious Christmas decor. Ughh, that would hurt my heart so much. I'm sure you have some wonderful things now but I'm always so glad to bring a memory to your kind heart. You are always the sweetest blessings. Love you my precious friend.
How beautiful this is ! I don’t know how you could improve on this year’s decor but I’m anxious to see it ! I just love Christmas decorations but I’m starting to get overwhelmed as I age ! Maybe since the kids are no longer living here I’ll start gradually down sizing ! I was wondering where you got that paper fringe looking tree ? I just love your style ! Blessings my friend!❤️❤️
Thank you sweet Karla for watching this one, I love Christmas and it takes me forever and a day to decorate and I do get overwhelmed at times but it's so much fun each year. I found that paper tree at a vintage market years ago and thought it was so cool, it's one of my favorites! Love and blessings to you always!
Looks so good Michelle
Thank you sweet Popi! Love and blessings to you!!!
Love both years, just my taste!
Thank you so much sweet Janet, I'm so thankful to have you watch!
Can someone please give me feedback because I wanna change colors and Themes this year. No Red, it's too overdone and I need a break from it. I was thinking about Pink & White or Sage and Silver ? Thoughts please ❤4:05
I say use the colors that bring you joy, no matter what they are. You can really gage your color inspiration by looking at Pinterest, I believe that have many post in those color schemes. I'm very traditional with lots of vintage things so I will always use red, but I believe any color would be gorgeous at Christmas if you love it. Choose the colors you are drawn too and I know it will be perfect!
I would love to experience this in person!! How long have you been collecting?
Come on over Kristie, I'd love to have you visit. I've been collecting for at least 20 years or more, it's always fun to see what you can find. Thank you for watching!
Not ready for Christmas yet, I think Christmas in July is silly. I’ll look at Christmas in December, sorry
I'm sorry Angela, I just thought it would be fun to look back and start planning for the upcoming holiday season. I was only hoping to inspire, not take away from the the Holiday. Love and blessings to you dear friend.
