Tips on the tree and cats. I left the pieces of the tree on the floor for a few hours so they could explore. By the time I put it up the tree was old news. Ha Also- you can buy a spray that’s citrus and some other herbs that cats HATE the smell. Spray it anywhere you want them to avoid. I’m working on becoming a professional cat trainer! Haha
Also, maybe for next year, my grandmother crocheted these beautiful snowflakes which we used as Christmas tree decorations and became heirlooms. She’d pin them to a board and spray them with something to stiffen them.
Alexis "im not doing Vlogmas this Year" Also Alexis *posts 4-5 videos in a row* P.S. This is not a complaint whatsoever, keep it up! Also love to see Olive and Bennet getting along so well
Everything looks so cute! You could also take the long branch on the top of the tree and bend it down to clip the cardinal on it to be the tree topper.
Good job with the decorations! The tree looks great! But I personally would’ve put it where the mirror is at. It would be a great focal points when coming in through the front door.
I think you made it look festive and fun with your holiday touches sprinkled throughout. If the size of the tree still bugs you, perhaps consider a small box to elevate it up a little higher.
I was there last weekend to see the Christmas decorations. Enjoyed myself even walked across Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy your videos. Olive is really growing. ❤
Loved this! ❤Cute tree. I have home-made ornaments from our kids & grandkids and also my husband’s mom & grandma. I also have red cardinals on mine-one of my fave birds & I wrote a book with one on the cover. I love decorating it each year, have hot cocoa with marshmallows, & play Christmas music. I have two cats & they both love laying under it on the soft skirt and under the lights, but also have knocked down decorations at times, lol. I watch them around it (the hooks…ribbons to hang ornaments are better)! There is nice ambience with the fireplace videos (I think Netflix). It’s very soothing & I’ve fallen asleep to it! Nice job! I bet NYC is beautiful at Christmas, especially with the snow. Cute pj’s!
Omg. I 💯 talk to my cats like that too!! Like what are we gonna do today guys? I think I’m gonna work. You’re gonna nap and play wrestlemania? We good w that? Cool cool 😎
That was the cosiest little intro 😭 I'm already in the Christmas mood after spending the night watching Christmas movies at my sister's house so this vlog is perfect right now! 🎄
ADORBES! My dog loves gnomes and believe it or not dollar tree has nice ones this year- so random lol. I am an all winter, all Christmas gal so I am all for it !
Not me spotting a pumpkin spice latte candle on the table and immediately looking up if it’s available in Australia 🇦🇺 It is! I just ordered it plus a candy apple body wash because I’m obsessed with fall and Christmas scented products! Also - I’m in team tree could go on a stool 🎉
Wait there was a reddit thread about you? 😂 I love every video you put out. You are just living life and figuring it out. I also love your intro!!! 😂😂😂 I hope to be on your level one day with creativity.
Your tree looks great. If you ever want it to look taller, put it on a box and drape a piece of fabric or a sheet over the box. If you need the box to be sturdier, stack books on floor and place box over the books for a stronger base. I found gnome pillows from Pottery Barn. Easy to store away. Ck it out for gnomes. Burn some scented candles like Thyme Frasier Fir or one of Bath & Body Works Christmas scents and enjoy your December.
HAHAA! you are honestly adorable!! you can also get those narrow/tall christmas trees, so its not so big but its PERFECT for apartments. just so its more of a statement :)
My mum gave me a small blue Christmas tree when I moved out & I decorated with some of the Christmas decorations but it's mainly of my collection of keyrings that I have. Mainly, pop vinyl keyrings. Naww, not big brother Bennett giving Lil Olive Roo kisses or a bath 🥺
how about putting your garland around your mirror - does the tree fit on the stool? do you have a board you could put on top of the stool to carry the tree? why not put your dryer in the office to make more room during the holidays and put your extra placemats on your coffee table.
Here's the thing, I wouldn't care what the internet says.. it's your home, it's your budget and it's your space, and in terms of storage and otherwise. I haven't put up a Christmas tree in a decade because I have two cats who are 13 and like to get into mischief and being high places if you know what I mean. Do I have a tree yes do I have decor yes am I going to put it up no! I put up little touches here and there by the way I'm 411 and my tree is 6 ft 1 😂 I got it at Walmart for $24.98 unboxing day it was originally $200 something with the white lights. So no I'm not getting rid of because I'll use it eventually..
My friend was just telling me that his cat ruined their Christmas tree lol 😬 and he has to buy a new one. Let's hope Bennett and Olive cooperate & don't go after the cardinal haha 💕🥰
I've had cats and Christmas trees my whole life. Two words. . . fishing line. You can buy invisible fishing line at Home Depot, Dicks, anywhere like that. Take a long piece and tie around the top of your tree and then put it over to the back of the dresser. Put a thumbtack in the back of the dresser and tie the fishing line to the thumb tack. Same thing to the coat rack...fishing line on the tree and all the way to the coat rack. Thumb tack. Repeat. They may play in the tree but it will not fall over. Wahhhlahhh.
Y'know what would be the cherry on the cake? Those colourful LED lights to stick round the back of your tv. I bought some last years from amazon and now my housemates prefer to watch tv in my room. Right, tomorrow's task for me is......decorate!
no it isn't! they are just on, but the camera frame rate makes it look like they are fading, in real life they don't look like that- its a lighting glitch in the camera
I really can’t believe someone would go out of their way to write about you and how terrible they think your decorating skills are. Imagine how miserable they are in their lives? You should feel sorry for that person…They are hiding behind the keyboard eating donuts laying in bed and they probably don’t even work… I’m sorry but that’s how I feel. Lol
100% move that tree to on top of a table or on the wall with the mirror. You are amazing and I appreciate you so much. Merry Christmas 🎄
The stool...
merry christmas!
I love your decorations but I would try putting the tree on the stool. Just my opinion.
@alexiseldredge Merry Christmas, Alexis, Bennet & Olive!
Alexis give us the link for the Etsy store! I love your handmade stockings!! And also: Christmas decorations are 10/10!! ❤

You look great in red - definitely a color that makes you glow!
You could crochet a skirt for the tree!?
OMG YES
Also, maybe for next year, my grandmother crocheted these beautiful snowflakes which we used as Christmas tree decorations and became heirlooms. She’d pin them to a board and spray them with something to stiffen them.
Your tree is perfectly sized and adorable. The best part is the cardinal from your grandma. Hopefully it is on your tree for decades to come
Awww! Bennett licking Olive in the outro of the video 🥺 So sweet!
they are besties
You did it!! Good job on your decorating Alexis! You inspired me to get started myself!! Merry Christmas!!❤
The decorations look amazing 🤩 cozy holiday vlogs are my fav ❤❤
Your tree looks nice. You might want to put it on top of a box or something just to give it a little height. ❤
So cute! As a mom to a twentysomething you’re call to your mom was priceless 😂❤
hahaha
I agree! 😊
Omggg yes i got a tree for the first time this year as well and its giving my entire home christmas 🥹🎄

Beautiful Christmas decorations 🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Xmas trees smell so great!
Super cute intro! Love the Christmas decorating!
magical, aesthetic and cozy Christmas decorations!!! ❤❤❤
I was there last weekend to see the Christmas decorations. Enjoyed myself even walked across Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy your videos. Olive is really growing. ❤
she is about to hit 3 pounds!
My All Time Comfort TH-camr As Always Alexis 😁💖💖 May God Bless You Always Always sending you lots of love
You could put the tree on top on the stool. Keeps out of the cats way and a bit taller. Drape a sheet or table cloth over the stool to hide it
maybe...it feels too tall haha
🌲🎄✨ I love this channel 🤩😍
Why not put it on the barstool or the middle of the coffee table? Love everything you did!! Beautiful!
Loved this! ❤Cute tree. I have home-made ornaments from our kids & grandkids and also my husband’s mom & grandma.

You’re gonna nap and play wrestlemania? We good w that? Cool cool 😎
I thought you weren’t doing vlogmas! Yay for an unexpected video!!!
haha i am not, but today is my normal posting day!
@@alexiseldredge lol! I guess the cold I got recently has hit my brain 😅

Your decorations look so pretty and festive.
thank you!

LOL thank you!
Christmas tree and decorations are great!!
Keep cats off counters. They stand in their litterbox and transfer that to your food prep area.
Your tree looks great. If you ever want it to look taller, put it on a box and drape a piece of fabric or a sheet over the box. If you need the box to be sturdier, stack books on floor and place box over the books for a stronger base. I found gnome pillows from Pottery Barn. Easy to store away. Ck it out for gnomes. Burn some scented candles like Thyme Frasier Fir or one of Bath & Body Works Christmas scents and enjoy your December.
If you want the tree to look taller just sit it on a side table or whatever you have. Looks great!!
This intro! Top teir 😂 love you Alexis
I got to do mine soon thanks for inspiration
🎄❄
HAHAA! you are honestly adorable!! you can also get those narrow/tall christmas trees, so its not so big but its PERFECT for apartments. just so its more of a statement :)
ALSO!!! cut the ribbon in longish pieces so you can put the pieces in and out of the branches and its SOOOO much easier to use!!
My mum gave me a small blue Christmas tree when I moved out & I decorated with some of the Christmas decorations but it's mainly of my collection of keyrings that I have. Mainly, pop vinyl keyrings.
Naww, not big brother Bennett giving Lil Olive Roo kisses or a bath 🥺
Put the tree on top of a end table etc. it will look taller. 🎄🎄🎄
Why not put the tree under the round mirror? That way Emily won’t catch her clothes or backpack on it❤
how about putting your garland around your mirror - does the tree fit on the stool? do you have a board you could put on top of the stool to carry the tree? why not put your dryer in the office to make more room during the holidays and put your extra placemats on your coffee table.
You could put the tree on a stool
Or stack of books :) I have a small tree and in some spaces I liked it more on top of something
maybe i'll get a stool, the bar stool i have feels too tall lol

Decorations look great!!! The only place you missed was a center piece on the coffee table. Merry vlogmas🎄
thank you!
Love the decorations
I have that size from Michaels decorate a box and sit it on
Looks great :)
Hi Alexis how are you happy Tuesday afternoon and happy vlogmas day to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
My friend was just telling me that his cat ruined their Christmas tree lol 😬 and he has to buy a new one. Let's hope Bennett and Olive cooperate & don't go after the cardinal haha 💕🥰
All looks cute
Don’t look now, but Bennett is grooming Olive 😅 so sweet!
First as always!❤
You Crack me up-Crawling with Gnomes!
Nice job!!!
Girl! That tree belongs on a table 🤣
LOL
Target has great gnomes. Also, Amazon. I have a whole collection that I got from those 2.
As the mom of a 27 year old daughter, my heart ❤️ when you called your Mom to ask how to do the ribbon on the tree.
🎄🎄🎄❤️
I'm Intrigue 😅. Heading over to last Year's video and see what they were talking about 🤣.
for decorations, usually hardware stores have a lot of them! maybe you'd be able to find a gnome there
🎅❤️
You did a great job. I have a 4 foot tree in my small apartment. I have a small table I set it on.
Maybe you could put tge tree under the round mirror just move the coffe table over

Aloha that was a good decorate on this video
Maybe put the tree on the stool and wrap the stool in some kind of Christmas skirt. JMO😊🌲
If you put your tree on top of a side table, it will get that much bigger
Girl, two words, command hooks! Put that hammer away😂😂
People are on reddit talking about your Christmas decorating skills? OMG!
what iphone you got
I feel like target has gnomes sometimes.. but I haven’t seen any this year
i'll keep my eyes out
@@alexiseldredge last time I saw them was in the isle of doom (by the registers) last year 🤔
You could put the tree on the stool. 👍
🫡🙏🏿👊🏿
Just a thought but if you did Olive & Emily in the same colors it will look like Emily owns Olive and you own only Bennit ❤😊
The one time I had a real rooted Christmas tree, my cats climbed it, and they tipped over and caused mess for weeks
oh noooooo
Put tree on coffee table
Hi! Did you have stuff on top of your cabinets in last apartment? Jw, no offense.
yep! much needed storage in tiny nyc apartments
Pit the tree on the stool!
it felt too tall haha
On the couch with your babies.
You're finally wearing some color! You should do it more often instead of always black.
That tree definitely needs to be placed on top of a box or something.
The pictures need to be lower behind the couch!❤
Your lights are set on ‘fading’ in and out. You should be able to change that. 😊
no it isn't! they are just on, but the camera frame rate makes it look like they are fading, in real life they don't look like that- its a lighting glitch in the camera
@ interesting! Sure looks like the fading. Happy they don’t look like that for you. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
@alexiseldredge have you checked JoAnn’s or HobbyLobby for gnomes? Well if you have those stores near you. 😊
Pencil tree would be better
I really can’t believe someone would go out of their way to write about you and how terrible they think your decorating skills are. Imagine how miserable they are in their lives?
