Been such a heavy time. I decorated for Christmas after the US election… Needed the joy. Been loving the escape of watching other people find their joy for this time of year.❤❤
Sending you big hugs!!
I'm literally in the same boat. I'm throwing myself into decorations and Christmas content as a means of escape.
This brought me to tears, me to! I was dreading turning 70 on January 18th. Now that's 2 days before the orange one takes office & he's making one bizarre cabinet pick after another.
Really great advice to slowly build your collection of holiday decorations that you use every year. That’s what I did last year and it is a relief to already have some items since money is tight this year for us. Even a single candle, hand soap, or holiday coffee creamer are small things that don’t break the bank but still get you in the holiday spirit!
Always love watching your book hauls and TBRs! Also, that sweater is totally your colour! ❤ Enjoy the cozy Christmas decor.
Thank you! I'm really loving red this holiday season!!
this just made me smile. things seem real bleak right now in the US, and Christmas time is the only thing making me smile. Loved this and love the story about the wreath lady
Sending big hugs🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love decorating for the holidays. That dog stocking is so cute, I wish you luck on finding another one.
Thank you! I need all the luck I can get lolp
I’ve been waiting patiently this video lol 😳I love the christmas patchwork tablecloth 😍I love all patcwork look in general . But I only love %100 cotton fabric , especially for home wear ! So healthy for skin , It's hypoallergenic and cotton is soft, absorbent, and breathable . And so so much cozy feeling 🙂↔️ 📚Holiday books so good for ☃️🎄seasonal readings . This video makes me want to decorate my christmas tree🎄Those were great finds Carter . Your book recommendations help me buy great new books 📚by the way .Thanks for sharing ! 🤗
Ahh Carter! I love this so much and you are such an inspiration to me. I’ve been loving all your content and it’s so fun to watch. Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine and you are such a comforting person to watch. I can’t wait for more holiday content and it’ll be so fun to watch. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕
Thank you so much!!
Omg the vibes at the end of the vlogggg, the dinner, the movie, everything! ✨️
Cozy holiday evenings are the only thing that keep me from being depressed hahahahhaha
@CarterSullivan cannot agreee more!! SAD girlies unite 🤝
Writing yourself a note for the next year is genius. I've started labelling my bags of lights (which are for which tree, which have extra bulbs to use for burnt out ones) but somehow I always forget to tell myself what I'll need next year cuz somehow I think I'll remember it... And lemme tell you... I have never once remembered until everything is up and I go "shoot, I need that one thing...".
It helps so much because I know "oh ok this is what I actually need" not just this is everything I want to buy hahahah
Love the Christmas jazzy b roll music and the red cardigan sweater you’re wearing is so festive. Your decor abilities for each holiday are unmatched!! Thanks for spreading holiday cheer! And the “thing you wear while making cookies “ is an apron lol😂
As soon as I started editing I was like the word you are looking for is apron😭🤣
Such a cozy vlog! Loved seeing all of your holiday thrifting finds 🎄♥️ have a lovely holiday season x
Thank you! You too!
I love your channel so much. ❤ I really enjoy how long your videos are and seeing all the home updates.
Aw thanks for watching and being here🥹
Hey Carter, Happy Wednesday. I’m so excited for the holidays and decorating for Christmas. I enjoyed this video and seeing you get ready for Christmas. 😊🥰🎄🎅
Josie Silver is a really great author of books set during Christmas that are romance but don’t feel cheesy. They’re a bit deeper. Really enjoy her books!
@@JessyLovesDisney I’ve read some of hers in the past!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video it had a great mix in it! I'm the same as you, carry more weight in the middle, and Abercombie's curve love range is the best!
I can't believe I never thought about A&F curve love jeans, gonna go check them out!!
it's hard for me to find good jeans as well but recently discovered levis baggy dad jeans and they are incredibleeee
Ou I'll have to look into those!
Hi Carter ! I just found your channel. My easy tip for CHRISTmas decorating is to hang ornaments on the wall & take the lights & hang around the doorways. It's a cozy easy way to decorate. I have health issues & the idea of decorating a tree & going all out then having to later take it down is too much. So I just found this is the easy way to decorate without over doing it 😊 I love your channel & my dads parents were from Canada & I grew up in Vermont . I'm now in East TN. 🙂
That is a good tip for those who don't put a tree up!
@CarterSullivan or those who can't afford one 🙂😊
Hey! I feel you, I don’t love overly cheesy holiday romances all the time. Butttt I might have a few recs!
Last year I read “Murder at Maybridge Castle” which is a vintage-y whodunnit set I believe in the Cumbrian countryside. It was a 4 star book for me, 3 stars for the plot and 5 stars for the vibes! Loved the setting:)
I also read “Home for CHristmas” by Courtney Cole last year, absolutely loved it!!! Like seriously one of the few 5 stars reads of last year. A woman in Alaska gets lost in a snowstorm and wakes back up in the 40s, I loved the lessons of love and hope in a WW2 and snowy remote countryside setting!!
Apart from romances my holiday tbr includes a bunch of cozy murder mysteries like “A Chapter on Murder” by Sue Minix and other cozy novels like “The Christmas Bookshop” by Jenny Colgan:)
@@linibara1672 Ou going to add both of those to my TBR, thank you!!
I went to the same Christmas market on Sunday. Such a good one. I was shocked by all the vendors! It was packed! Where did you get the Diet Coke ornament? I need it!!!😂
See the key with any market is you have to go when they open on the first day to beat the crowds! No one was there Sat at 9am!! Diet Coke ornament is from Homesense ☺️
Thank you :) Yea we went just before lunch after our girls’ gymnastics. It was still great but PACKED! Next time we’ll be early birds like you.
Hey girl loved the vlog!! Sucha cozy channel ..Also read Snowed In if you like Holiday Romance! I loved them both
If its written similar to Holiday Romance I feel l won't love it- I liked Holiday Romance but was annoyed at the amount of dialogue there was. Felt like there was no depth to the romance at all and I ended up giving it 3 1/2 stars!
I love your coral cardigan. 🤩
This was perfect
@@foofeuh glad you enjoyed!!
I was at Robert Plante's on Saturday too. It was insane! Picked up one of those Charlie Brown trees everyone was buying. lol
@@lisaneville6155 we went just as they opened so the crowds were non existent! but when we left around 10:30 it was PACKED
Absolutely loved this and all the holiday vibes! ❤❤❤
Yay so glad you enjoyed!! ❤️🎄
If you're looking for a change in genre for Christmas books, check out the Christmas Guest. It's a murder mystery novella and I read it super quick.
I love Peter Swanson!
💖💖💖I love this vlog so much, thank you for sharing 😊
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 🥹🫶🏻
There’s black dog and golden dog stockings on Michaels Canada!!!
@@kristinmccoll2 Yes I saw them when I went but I wasn't sold on the quality of them so I passed for now!!
I totally relate to not loving cheesy Christmas romances! I would rather watch them, also. I haven’t read either of these yet, but this year I picked up The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett and You Better Watch Out by James S. Murray for some non-romance holiday books.
My All Time Favourite Content Creator in the world and Carter never stop making Vlogs your contents are just wonderful and I wish you have a blessed blessed week ahead🥹♥️💫
Thanks so much 😊
Love your videos! If you haven’t read The Christmas bookshop by Jenny Colgan it’s an excellent read. It did have some romance in it, but the storyline was so much more than just romance. I read it in about 12 hours because I couldn’t put it down. I’m excited to get some more of her Christmas books.
@@OneBlessedBeyondMeasureFamily i read it a few years back and enjoyed it!
Hi Carter how are you happy Monday afternoon and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter and im excited for the Christmas
i LOVE your holiday videos 🥺🥺🥺🥺
aw this makes my heart so happy 🥹
Loved this video ❤❤
Thank you!!
Don’t think of me being strange but I just started your new video and you showed that Christmas mug and I gasped! So so cute. I think I’m gonna move to Canada just to find that mug. ❤❤❤
Its from Homesense last year! I'm sure TJ Maxx and Homegoods have it too ☺️
@ you’re the best !!
Amazing vlog!
Thank you!!
If you haven’t read In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren, I would recommend it ❤ it’s super cute!
@@alexandramelius8427 I am a HUGE Christina Lauren fan, read it when it came out in 2020 and have reread it twice during the holidays since its one of the only ones I like🤣🫶🏻
I feel like reading it again! 😂
This was such a comforting vlog! 🎄Would you be interested in cozy murder mysteries? I find a lot of those books take place in winter and help get me into the holiday spirit without leaning too heavily into the cheesy romance genre. 😅
@@alisonmccarty7856 I do like a good cozy murder mystery from time to time! Do you have any good recs?
I know this might seem weir but in the holiday time I tend to read classics , biographies and such things...😅
Thats not weird at all! We all have our different reading preferences❤️🫶🏻
I did the same thing with buffalo plaid. Major regrets
Ok so we all went through a buffalo plaid christmas phase???? It's not even that it wasn't cute but I think with holiday decor you cannot go based on what's trendy or one certain pattern/design because it's never timeless and you just get tired of it!!
❤
Carter, you should know I’m not mentally stable enough to hear about the old woman with the wreaths ☹️🥺😭
I was not mentally stable enough either and wanted to buy all of her wreaths 😭😭
Considering the work that went into the wreath she was undervaluing herself by just charging $14 .
I agree! I ended up giving her more for it since I thought it was worth so much more❤️
