    Sometimes social media can make us feel pressured to be a certain way or have certain things and if we don’t have them feel rubbish about ourselves. Christmas isn’t about having all of these lavish decorations, it’s about whatever makes you happy 🎄

    Some great advice. What a refreshing change for a young person to be telling followers it's ok to be selective and save money.

    New subscriber here. I totally agree with what you are saying. I can't understand how people can afford to change the theme each year. I am a sad old traditionalist. Red, green and gold for me. I may add a new piece or two each year (buy retro decs in Charity shops). And sometimes swap decorations out, maybe use one year, then not the next

      Yayy thanks for the sub! ❤️ Yes I love a traditional tree and decs too and I also usually only buy one extra decoration each year and alternate. I think it’s nicer to have less but it mean more x

    Totally agree. I simply cannot afford to purchase new Christmas decor every year just because the popular influencers do. I'm old, and while growing up, everyone had only 1 tree to decorate in their homes and most rarely had a 'theme' going on. I do, however, enjoy watching the decor videos, but I try not to be charmed. Thank you for sharing. You're a wise young lady.

    • @iiAmNiicole
      @iiAmNiicole  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes me too, just one tree and the same decs! I actually love it that way though, getting the decorations out every year just makes it more nostalgic 🤭 I love the decoration videos too, although I do get jealous of the beautiful cozy homes that I can’t recreate but I try focus on what I have xx

    You seem like a very nice young lady but I can’t really grasp who this video is aimed at. This is the kind of stuff I used to say to my teenage kids when they got carried away with the “ooh this is cool, let’s get this Mum” enthusiasm 😂. I don’t think grown adults need to be told what they should be spending (or not spending) their money on. Agreed, there’s an awful lot of expensive, useless tat there, but that’s just my subjective opinion. Other people might think it’s all gorgeous and thank goodness for that! How boring if we all adhered to the exact same decorative tastes. Let’s just all enjoy the season as we see fit and leave everyone else to do the same. Common sense is all that’s needed. Have a great Christmas anyway 😊

      Thank you! On social media all I keep seeing is extravagant Christmas decorating videos, filled with expensive items. The point of this video is to express that you should do what makes you happy and not to follow these trends or ways of celebrating just because it’s in our faces everyday and can seem like an ‘expectation’ x

    It amazing how much stuff influencers buy, i know some have basement to store stuff but it os just crazy. Ive had a tall snowman for 20years, he was from woolworths so they can ne investment pieces. My tree is 32years old 😅 too sentimental to change so os my garland, i still remember what i was wearing when i bought it. My favourite ornament ive had for 25 years, my hrandpa gave it to me off his tree. Christmas to me is Christ and memories

      This was so beautiful to read! To me that’s exactly what Christmas is! My parents have all the decs from my childhood and I hope to also be this way. Perhaps adding the odd new one each year but not overall changing it. It seems more special that way and full of memories! I appreciate your comment thank you! ❤

    You don’t have to buy things but you can if you want to… imo. if you’re looking at people spending hundreds on wreaths or candles .. like restockers, they are making money from getting people to buy things … that’s not the norm
