As a broke single mom i always placed Christmas cards in branches of my tree as i received them by the end of christmas my tree was super full! Always a reminder how lucky & loved i am...not alone! Solved the problem also how to display cards in my tiny house...
Amazing! I’m also a broke single mom and have done the same for a few years now! I always save my favorites and I have a few from people who have passed away. They mean so much to me and having them out reminds me I’m not alone. Another tradition I have for myself is packing up my favorite mug with my favorite Christmas scarf and mittens with a small amount of cash after Christmas and the next year when I’m unpacking it’s like a little gift for myself that I kind of forgot was there. It’s dumb but it always makes me happy knowing that even if times get tougher I’m taking care of my future self in little ways! Adding in a note to your future self is also corny but fun
I don't add the tree skirt until the very very very end because stuff falls on the floor in the decorating process. Not just glitter - all kinds of stuff. I sweep it all up, then add the skirt to a clean surface.
@@suyadanar987 but you can pretty much use em forever,also throughout a life time of real trees that’s like 70, now try 70 trees for each of the 7 billion people in the world
Su Yadanar how is a reusable tree that lasts like 15+ years “bad” for the environment in comparison to cutting down real trees every year that literally are one of the MOST important things In the environment! Maybe if you throw them out every year yes. But raise your hand if you can afford to do that. Not moi! Mine was bought in 2001.... still going!
This video saved my Christmas! I've struggled putting lights on my artificial tree for YEARS! Never thought to light it in sections before assembly. Got it lighted in ten minutes!!!! No drama! Subscribed immediately. Merry Christmas.
Wait What?! Your HER MOM! That makes sense: The genes run with keeping things stylish and tidy! Or are you just saying Mom cause you are LIKE a mum to her?! I'm soo confused!!! 😂 BTW: I LOVE both of your channels! They have AMAZING and definitely useful content and information that I apply to my everyday life!
I love having a real tree! Going out out and finding the perfect tree has always been a lovely family outing! It makes each year unique and like a bit of a puzzle as we figure out where everything goes on the tree. Plus nothing beats that real tree smell!
Sharrah, I've watched this video about five times now (started like early October) and I followed so many of your tips for my tree. My boyfriend and I got our tree the way we want it so far and honestly one of the things that spoke to me the most was when you said I'd be changing things if I don't like it and it won't be perfect right away. I feel like this helped us so, SO much. I may or may not have been making him watch your videos with me lately. It's our first place together so we're just doing whatever we want. I love your videos, and yes I've been watching this year's Christmas videos too, both yours and your mom's. Happy holidays! And thank you!
What great ideas! I’ve been decorating our Christmas tree for 35 years - and you’ve blown my mind with your tips! We’ve had living and artificial trees, I really prefer the flexibility of a really good artificial tree. I’m ready to start pulling together my new decorations!
Its a must when you have an artificial tree. I learned the hard way. The first time i had scratches and my hands and fingers hurt so bad! So yeah, its a thing.
@@denisemarie7991 Im old like the commenter and ive always had a real tree.The real tree I could see getting scratched.Since the kids arent home I have gone artifical and NEVER have scratched myself.lol
I think this is my favourite tree that you've done so far! I love a real tree. It's a family tradition that my family goes out and cuts one down together. So much fun!
@@narayanivyas Actually I cut a tree down from our own property in the woods. Often smaller trees are clumped together and are competing with each other for light. When you cut trees that are in groups, the ones that are left can grow to their full potential. In my eyes its better than manufacturing a tree out of plastic and chemicals and then it inevitably ends up in the landfill never to decompose. At least a real tree can be composted.
@Jane I guess you are partly right! And, it is a family tradition. Glad to know you don't want to use up plastic and you are sooo lucky to have your own property in the woods!!! Thank you so much for letting me know, otherwise, to tell you the truth, I would've been very sad😭 BTW- In my earlier comment, I DEFINITELY did not mean to offend you in any way. 😀
@@narayanivyas It's actually better for the environment due to the fact that they grow these specifically for Christmas, the trees clean the air, and artificial trees are not recyclable! These trees provide many people with job security especially those who are farming. Not to mention; According to the Carbon Trust, around 66 percent of the emissions created by plastic trees come from the carbon-intensive oil it is made from. It's actually better to have a real tree, but to each there own! I definitely have used an artificial tree. It's just a common misconception that it's worse for the environment and wasteful, because artificial trees spend years in a landfill and could take about 500 years.
I don't even try to create a theme tree as I have many ornaments that are sentimental. However........You've taught me a lot about how to trim a tree. I especially love how you've taught me what order to do things. I'm going to follow your instructions to the letter. Well done.
I got a 7.5ft tall Christmas tree for the first time this year. And we just unpacked it and put it up. It doesn't have anything except lights on it yet. But my God, the difference between that and my usual 6ft tree is insane. Maybe next year, I'll try to diy flocking it to give it a more snowy look. Loved all your tips!
Beautiful tree you have here. I love everything but I just wondering were can I get the berrys branch? & how many branches do I need to get for my 7 1/2 foot tree 🌲
A REAL tree 🎄nothing like the smell of a real Christmas tree for Christmas... Your tree is beautiful .. May you and your family HAVE A Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎉💜❤
I’m a real tree lover, even though Christmas is in summer here. I have seen our family owned, local Christmas Tree farm move location 3 times in 15 yrs due to severe flooding or bush fires and love their tenacity in re-builing their livelihoods. Our extended family live half the world away - literally - so choosing a tree to have cut down has become a family tradition with me, hubby and our 2 older children. We then dry the tree out and use it for logs on the fire in winter time. Thank you for the fresh ideas. Your tree and home look beautiful. Seasons Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.
This tree is so adorable... the perfect blend of glam and rustic, modern and traditional!!! I definitely prefer a real tree but I feel like it makes way more sense when you have a house haha
Honestly , i love the fill in the gaps tips, big balls with small ones, a good balance of red to go against the nice green tree, i loved it the very first time i saw.. it has to be the most beautiful tree i have seen ... great artistry and btw kool shirt 🥰🥰🥰
Where I am from it is the norm having an artificial tree. I have had mine for 14 years and looks the same. Sometimes we spray some snow spray to make the tips look more snowy. Love your both to your channels and have got a lot of inspiration for my Christmas tree.
It is just perfect! This year I have finally found the style I will decorate my Christmas tree. Fantastic idea to add picks. Just fantastic look! Thanks you very much and Merry Christmas! :)
To answer your question, I love a real Christmas tree because of the scent and childhood memories. Also, your tree is so gorgeous! Thank you for so many awesome ideas. I’m implementing quite a few of them in my decorating for Christmas. Love your videos, your energy, ideas, your cute doggy ❤️
This was without a doubt the most helpful Christmas tree decorating video I have seen. I wish I would have seen this last year when I was buying up after Christmas sales for this year, but better late than never.
My family has a tradition of going and cutting our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend. And I’m so excited to decorate my first tree this year with my husband!
awesome tricks..i have a fake tree that i use last year n i was debating on taking out the tree cus its skinny n does not have lots of branches..but now that i saw ur video u gave me hope..thanks ill be trying to fill in the empty holes like u did n ill using ur decorating tips..thanks
Were you putting your lights on the tree as you were sectioning out your branches? I always do mine after it’s completely up but I’m wondering if it’s better to do it the way it appears you did yours.
We get a real tree every year! Growing trees and turning soil to grow more trees is a good thing for the environment. And of course they smell amazing!
I love the picks being added to fill in holes. I need to try that this year. My tree is always a mish-mash of hundreds of different ornament collected over the years. I have downgraded to a 7ft Pencil Tree so I now just pick out a bunch of ornaments to use since there is no way I can use all of them anymore. Mine is never as glamorous as yours.
Peggy you can try ribbon too if you watch a video on how to place ribbon in your tree it makes the world of difference!! Once you do it that way you will never go back.
Uaaau! It turned out beautifully! I absolutely love Christmas, it is my favorite holiday and, since I’m getting married at the next August, one of the things I’m most excited about my home, is decorating! 😍😍😍 Thank you for your tips, I’m loving the Christmas serie!
I’m torn between real trees and artificial trees.. I love artificial from a decorating standpoint. But the tradition of hunting for, and cutting down the perfect real tree and bringing it home is one of my favorite traditions.. I always decorate a real tree more traditionally with ornaments my family has collected from travels and other stuff over the years and add in many other ornaments and many many lights to still give it that decorators look. Lighting each branch of a 14ft blue spruce is definitely a chore, and quite painful, the result is absolutely beautiful though and smells amazing too
We always had a real tree until we found out why my husband was sick every January. Very sick. He’s allergic to pine! We have an artificial one now. No choice. Everybody needs to stop judging everyone else for their choices. We all do what we do for various reasons. Please just let everyone enjoy their beautiful Christmas tree however they see fit.
I know this older video but what are the base lights you use on your tree not the twinkling ones? I always have a hard time finding some that are led and not to bright white etc
Your tree is beautiful...but where did u find those darling slippers??? I need them in my life!! Thanks for all the great tips! I always use artificial trees now just because it's much easier to handle and work with than a live tree..but I also love the look and smell of a fresh cut tree that brings back so many childhood memories of going to find the perfect tree to cut down!!!
I have one just because i'm from a tropical country and pines aren't really a tree, but you'd have to reuse the fake tree for 20 years before that carbon footprint actually wears off. Using real trees is better, because they are constantly growing them, and while they grow, they capture carbon dioxide, thus cleaning the air a little, and after you've used it, you don't have to store it. I'm sure there's a way to recycle a real tree.
Sara Angel, I understand where you are coming from and I myself come from the Caribbean. I grew up with fake trees. They remind me of my childhood for one. Also I’ve used the same 5’ tree since 2002. I only replaced it this year because I was gifted a 7’ one Yay!!! But, I donated the other one. I know the real ones are regrown every year. But, killing a tree for just to use it for a couple of weeks seems wrong to me. Yes they get recycled and turn into mulch, but it seems sad to see the pile of dead trees accumulating on the side walks of NYC and everywhere else. Just my opinion.
Nataly Valdez Berthet , yes. Yay!!! I rather use the same tree for the next couple of decades than sacrifice a living thing for a couple of weeks. But we are entitled to our opinions.
Nataly Valdez Berthet mind your business and let the people do what they want ... And it's always a good idea to use a fake tree rather than taking one's life just so you can make your house look pretty
I love real trees. We go to a beautiful Christmas tree farm every year and it's a tradition, no matter the weather(it was pouring rain one time). We always get the biggest ones. I also don't like having a theme because we have sentimental ornaments. Great video!
Kristin Marie I put up real wreaths and some branches as decorations around...then everything smells fresh and pinelike. Every person that comes over thinks it's coming from my artificial tree LOL.
Kalaxy we do the live tree every year! Super fun to walk past years of Christmas trees on our farm. They are getting hard to find here in California tho!
@@TylerCStevens Grew up in LA. Never ending construction is right. My mom used to refer to the house next door as "The Lone Hammer". Must have been one guy taking his time doing renovations. Ugh. Just get it over with!
Very cute! Totally your style... it’s so cool to watch you and your mom! Totally different styles yet the principles and techniques of your mom is still in you that’s amazing ❤️
Fake trees. Because you get to shape it the way you need it to be. Plus you can reuse it every year. Hut if you want the real tree smell we hang up a wreath or burn a candle for that smell. I have a question what height is your tree?
I prefer not switching up my Christmas decore, I love coming out the morning after I decorate feeling as if I had gone back in time to the good old days.
Thats what most youtuber do and i hate beating around the bush... funnily there are classes and journals for placement of tree.🤣🤣 anyways i wnt put it in front of window as i cnt enjoy the details in day time. I put my tree where day light falls on it and reveals the beauty of tinsels rather then tree with day light behind it.... i will put it where i have space in my house. Just unnecessary explaining...
I just found your channel about a week ago so I’ve binge watched all your videos as fast as I possibly can. Your so creative and everything you do is my style and absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for all the content. Your the best!😘
Hi Sharrah!! I’ve heard about the spinners from your mom 😊. Your tree looks fantastic! I always had a real tree up until a few years ago, I switched to a fake one. Lol, I use that tissue paper trick too 😉. Have a nice evening!🎄🎁
You use it for a month but while it was growing it generated oxygen insted of Co2 like PLASTIC. YEAH your plastic tree. And not only that when you throw it away it will return to the ground. It will be compost. And the plastic tree???? Guess what!? Its gonna be forever with us because its plastic.
I love artificial trees, no hassle, and as you said it's nice to be able to fluff them and shape them. Plus some of my family have allergic reactions to real trees.
Thank you Sharrah! So much!! I live in India and probably I am the most fond of putting a Christmas tree in my area or even my city! In India here or in my city we do not have much ornaments and decorations for Christmas but I got so much new and good ideas to decorate my tree with those few decoratives after watching your video! I think my tree will be so much better than ever! Thank you so so so so so so so much!!!
I don't understand the filming technique for when the speaker looks like she is making eye contact with and talking to someone else. Why do they do that?
@@user-no2bp4mn5i- I'm sure 2 cameras can be very helpful to show better illustration of the subject matter. When the view is focused only on the speaker talking, the jumping back and forth between front and side views of her head is not. It gives me the feeling like she's ignoring me. I'm thinking, "Hey, I'm over here! I'm paying attention. Who are you talking to anyway?" 🤷♀️ Lol 😅
Natural trees have been reared, have worked while absorbing CO2 and they continue doing so at home. Once we have got rid of both kinds of Christmas trees, the natural ones are biodegradable and can be used for compost or biomass, generating very little CO2. The plastic ones generate much more CO2 in their recycling process as they contain oil by-products, and without a proper recycling they would take hundreds of years to degrade.
Or if the fake one is made well and the family gets to use it for over 40 years and it still looks brand new, and looks more like a real Christmas tree depicted in old time photos (extremely full and no holes at all) through out the years.makes it even better. yes I know some one who has a tree just like this, it's the same tree she's been using since her children were young, she has 3 children the oldest is 49 youngest is 42 . So no worries about taking years to degrade, I'm sure the great grandchildren will be using this tree for years to come
I love your videos! Your tree is gorgeous! You've inspired me to do mine today. I've never had a real tree, but after my husband & I are settled in our new home (we're building) I just might get one next Christmas. We have 9 foot ceilings throughout & vaulted ceilings in the living room, current tree is only 6 1/2 feet.
I'm new here - love this video and the tree is gorgeous!!! Does anyone know if this tree is linked or sourced someplace? i would love to get this tree - it's perfect!
Beautiful! You certainly have the magic touch. Love the picks. Who wouldn't want to sing Mariah's Carey's, all I want for Christmas is you, around that tree. Magic.
As a broke single mom i always placed Christmas cards in branches of my tree as i received them by the end of christmas my tree was super full! Always a reminder how lucky & loved i am...not alone! Solved the problem also how to display cards in my tiny house...

ive done popcorn garland bring the outside in
❤❤❤
great idea. i never thought of that
curious mom very touching, I love it
I don't add the tree skirt until the very very very end because stuff falls on the floor in the decorating process. Not just glitter - all kinds of stuff. I sweep it all up, then add the skirt to a clean surface.
dipa
Mypokerbuzz it will get dirty again 😒
Me too.
I prefer a fake tree, I get to put it up sooner, it doesn’t dry out and become a safety hazard, and it’s always a perfect shape.
Yes, my tree is up! 😄
Artificial trees are really bad for the environment though

Yes they get recycled and turn into mulch, but it seems sad to see the pile of dead trees accumulating on the side walks of NYC and everywhere else. Just my opinion.
Yey! you just have plastic that cant be recycled yey! And when they were making it a lot of Co2 was produced for your plastic tree.
Nataly Valdez Berthet , yes. Yay!!! I rather use the same tree for the next couple of decades than sacrifice a living thing for a couple of weeks. But we are entitled to our opinions.
Nataly Valdez Berthet mind your business and let the people do what they want ... And it's always a good idea to use a fake tree rather than taking one's life just so you can make your house look pretty
I love real trees. We go to a beautiful Christmas tree farm every year and it's a tradition, no matter the weather(it was pouring rain one time). We always get the biggest ones. I also don't like having a theme because we have sentimental ornaments. Great video!
I had to stop watching at 4:00. That constant banging in the background was driving me insane
Tyler Leigh YES!!!!
What the heck was that? I stopped at 3:44

@@gpswatching I am watching the 2019 one now, it is much better
Tyler Leigh righ
I loved the idea of adding the picks to make it look full. I always use a fake tree and feel it looks so thin. Thanks you so much for the tips.
Artificial trees for me! I'm allergic to real ones sadly but I also love the ease of fake ones. Pre-lit all the way!
I love this video and all of your tips and ideas. My number 1 guidline for decorating my christmas trees. Thanks for all the great helpful advices! ❤️
Artificial then I buy the scentcicles and it smells just like a real tree! 💕
Kristin Marie I put up real wreaths and some branches as decorations around...then everything smells fresh and pinelike. Every person that comes over thinks it's coming from my artificial tree LOL.
Lol yeah
My family and I always get natural Christmas 🎄 but I’m looking into the planted Christmas tree you can keep year round to be more eco friendly
Kalaxy we do the live tree every year! Super fun to walk past years of Christmas trees on our farm. They are getting hard to find here in California tho!
what is that banging in the background?
Right??? Driving me nuts!!!
The Haunting of Stevens 500sf apartment
The haunting of never ending construction next door...
@@TylerCStevens Grew up in LA. Never ending construction is right. My mom used to refer to the house next door as "The Lone Hammer". Must have been one guy taking his time doing renovations. Ugh. Just get it over with!
@@lindahudson2724 me too lol
If you like the smell, can you use an oil burner or dispenser and put pine and berry in it?
TREE VERY VERY BEATİFUL!♥
💞
Very cute! Totally your style... it’s so cool to watch you and your mom! Totally different styles yet the principles and techniques of your mom is still in you that’s amazing ❤️
Definitely a real Christmas 🎄. I’m from upstate NY it’s a must . I love your tree decor!!!
Fake trees just seem "Fake". 🙄🙄
Nice touch with the berries and spruce! I like that!
Great job. Looking forward to christmas tree decoration 2019

How do you tie the ribbon? So beautiful!!
Fake trees. Because you get to shape it the way you need it to be. Plus you can reuse it every year.
Hut if you want the real tree smell we hang up a wreath or burn a candle for that smell.
I have a question what height is your tree?
This tree is one of my favorites! 🎄🥰
Probably should have used gloves when I was putting mine up too! Could have spared my fingers of the ashy ness 😆
I prefer not switching up my Christmas decore, I love coming out the morning after I decorate feeling as if I had gone back in time to the good old days.
You talked too much and never got to the point
Thats what most youtuber do and i hate beating around the bush... funnily there are classes and journals for placement of tree.🤣🤣 anyways i wnt put it in front of window as i cnt enjoy the details in day time. I put my tree where day light falls on it and reveals the beauty of tinsels rather then tree with day light behind it.... i will put it where i have space in my house. Just unnecessary explaining...
Sometimes one wants to watch something and don't have time for that chit chat.
@@akaurb Hi Dear, I have a tutorial that will help you.
@@com2375 I understand that, would you like to see my tutorial?
I think I can help you, check out my tutorial.
Very Beautiful Christmas decor !!! Everything is gorgeous. 😍🌲🎀
AM I THE ONLY PERSON HEARING THE KNOCKING?!~
I just found your channel about a week ago so I’ve binge watched all your videos as fast as I possibly can. Your so creative and everything you do is my style and absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for all the content. Your the best!😘
Hi Sharrah!! I’ve heard about the spinners from your mom 😊. Your tree looks fantastic! I always had a real tree up until a few years ago, I switched to a fake one. Lol, I use that tissue paper trick too 😉. Have a nice evening!🎄🎁
I first off think you are absolutely adorable and your tree is simply beautiful. I will take all your tips into thought this Christmas.
Fake it makes me sad to think that a tree takes years to grown and we use for a month.
Very true, but fake trees tend to be made of plastic which has a bigger impact on the environment. It's a tricky one. :(
Dani Lore well i have one fake christmas tree and I use it year after year, and if I ever need to get rid of it, I would recycle it
You use it for a month but while it was growing it generated oxygen insted of Co2 like PLASTIC. YEAH your plastic tree. And not only that when you throw it away it will return to the ground. It will be compost. And the plastic tree???? Guess what!? Its gonna be forever with us because its plastic.
Try to find real things to be sad about. You’ve clearly led a sheltered life but you won’t be able to escape it forever, so enjoy it while you can.
Couldn't agree more :(
I love your window curtains :) where did you bought them from?
I love artificial trees, no hassle, and as you said it's nice to be able to fluff them and shape them. Plus some of my family have allergic reactions to real trees.
They take up space in storing them....
Then there's some of us that are allergic to the dust that builds up within the artificial tree. No win situation it seems.
Thank you Sharrah! So much!! I live in India and probably I am the most fond of putting a Christmas tree in my area or even my city! In India here or in my city we do not have much ornaments and decorations for Christmas but I got so much new and good ideas to decorate my tree with those few decoratives after watching your video! I think my tree will be so much better than ever! Thank you so so so so so so so much!!!
Absolutely beautiful, love it! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Emma Roberts? I just subscribed! 💓
Crissie Burdette That’s what I was thinking while watching this - she’s looks so much like Emma Roberts!
I love your Christmas tree. It's so elegant and refreshing.
I don't understand the filming technique for when the speaker looks like she is making eye contact with and talking to someone else. Why do they do that?
She's recording with 2 cameras at the same time,that's why.....hope I helped answer your question. Have a merry Christmas!
@@user-no2bp4mn5i- I'm sure 2 cameras can be very helpful to show better illustration of the subject matter. When the view is focused only on the speaker talking, the jumping back and forth between front and side views of her head is not. It gives me the feeling like she's ignoring me. I'm thinking, "Hey, I'm over here! I'm paying attention. Who are you talking to anyway?" 🤷♀️ Lol 😅
One reason is that that it looks AMMAZZINGG. Secondly, she is recording with two cameras at a time.
Creative Planet Janet good to c u

Could you show us how you store seasonal decor when not in use? Love your videos!
WHO'S EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS??
Can you show how you make the bows to put in your tree and as a topper for the tree
Natural trees have been reared, have worked while absorbing CO2 and they continue doing so at home. Once we have got rid of both kinds of Christmas trees, the natural ones are biodegradable and can be used for compost or biomass, generating very little CO2. The plastic ones generate much more CO2 in their recycling process as they contain oil by-products, and without a proper recycling they would take hundreds of years to degrade.
Or if the fake one is made well and the family gets to use it for over 40 years and it still looks brand new, and looks more like a real Christmas tree depicted in old time photos (extremely full and no holes at all) through out the years.makes it even better. yes I know some one who has a tree just like this, it's the same tree she's been using since her children were young, she has 3 children the oldest is 49 youngest is 42 . So no worries about taking years to degrade, I'm sure the great grandchildren will be using this tree for years to come
Great video, can you tell where you got your tree, what type? Merry Christmas. Alex from Ontario Canada.
Love your tree, especially the bow on top! Never saw those spinners before. Very cool tips! Thanks....team artificial...
When are you putting your tree up this year 2022? Ill be putting both trees up November 6th 2022
I look at you and all I see is Robin from "How I met your mother"
I see the girl from Wild Child. She resembles her a lot. Even sounds like her.
I love your videos! Your tree is gorgeous! You've inspired me to do mine today.
I've never had a real tree, but after my husband & I are settled in our new home (we're building) I just might get one next Christmas. We have 9 foot ceilings throughout & vaulted ceilings in the living room, current tree is only 6 1/2 feet.
I prefer real trees
can you please link down the exact tree you bought? what is the length and diameter of the tree? a perfect Christmas tree :)
Oh Christmas tree! Great job babe, ps you look freaking smoking hot I love that color on you
I'm new here - love this video and the tree is gorgeous!!! Does anyone know if this tree is linked or sourced someplace? i would love to get this tree - it's perfect!
Real tree for family room the rest of my 4 trees are artificial
Wow!
Beautiful! You certainly have the magic touch. Love the picks. Who wouldn't want to sing Mariah's Carey's, all I want for Christmas is you, around that tree. Magic.
Trying not to be a grinch but I think your tree branch fluffing needs work. Spread each “finger” up and out to fill in the gaps.
Love it!!! Always get great ideas from both you and your mom. You both are amazing! God bless you both.❤️
Show me and stop talking so much.
Izella McQueen if you don’t like it literally don’t watch it lmao. There are so many videos about decorating trees on TH-cam
You guys are awesome. This made us decide to try and do our own Christmas Tree Vlog and show how do our Perfect Christmas Tree.
