Join me as I get my home decorated for Christmas...at least the areas that I decorate. I don't do as much as I once did. It's just too much to put it all out, take it all down, pack it all up, and then store it away. What are you doing? Are you doing less this year? Or are you going all out? I'd really like to know. Oh...and don't just watch me decorate. Work right along with me. We can all get some work done! Tell me if you just watch or get some work done while watching and listening.
I started getting rid of a lot of decorating items over the last few years. Each year, a bit more goes. This year, very hard. I unexpectedly lost 2 brothers this year, the second on December 11th. My husband decorated the living room tree, and I'm in the middle of decorating the family room tree. This year, just enough for the house to feel joyous, but much not leaving boxes. Some family will be joining us for dinner as we all are grateful for memories, but, sadly, grieving. I pray for those having this sort of Christmas, missing those who no longer will be around the table. Thank you for lovely videos that are so peaceful. Merry Christmas
Thank you so very much Denise for the ideas. I live alone. I'm retired on a fix income . Your decorations are beautiful and practical something I can afford. Enjoy this Holiday season. ❤
I started "Swedish Dear Cleaning " (decluttering) in 2020. I started my Christmas decor last year. I gave so much to my kids, neice and friends. I got a smaller tree and fewer items and still have every room decorated!
I don't decorate like I did when my children were little, I would have 2 trees, one in family room, one in living room and many Santa's, pillows and wreaths ...I liked making it warm and cozy for family. Now kids are much older and have no grandchildren. I do still decorate a bit not as much. Like you said, it all has to come down and put away till next Christmas. Archie is adorable and best part, he loves to cuddle .
I feel the same.i use to go all out.but im 70 now so im decorating but keeping it more simple.after Christmas i will declutter what I dont use.see if my kids want anything.or it will go to goodwill..
I hear you. We got a taller one last year but Hubby puts that up. I have to get.a ladder tp reach the top but just for a bit. As long as I can reach where I can, I'm okay. My problem is that I tire easily or my back starts bothering me and i have to sit down. I'm slower and apparently shorter. Hahaha!
@@homemakingwithdenise I also have developed bone spurs in my left heel. dr said no more laddered. and no family near to help. i do what i can. life is what is is. i have kepts my favorites 🤗🤗🎅🎅🤶🤶🎄🎄i keep the smaller things. :) Have a Blessed Christmas
Hi ! That small photo that is below the one of the girl with the blue background…. Is that a wedding photo of you? It’s a profile photo all dressed in white. It looks so beautiful!
