From the Christmas before she was born, (born in January) I bought a special ornament for my daughter, and continued until she set up her own house. Turns out while she had a tree full of beautiful vintage ornaments........I had to start all over......LOL She still has them and it's a fabulous tradition.
Thanks for sharing!!
Melanie, you are the only TH-camr I’ve seen that’s displayed a nativity set. Thank you. I’m seeing plenty of winter decorations, Nutcrackers, and Santa. But I just want to say Thank you!
Absolutely! Jesus is the reason for the season!
Thank you for sharing! Love your ideas! ❤
I absolutely LOVE that you have a family tree! We have one also. I have 5 kids and 8 grandbabies, along with son-in-laws, who all have special ornaments on our tree from over the years. And I have ornaments on our tree from when I was a child. My kids and their kids will all have some keepsakes and treasures for their trees one day, but for now, they are still with me as my home is the 'core' and they all say they want it to feel like home when they come over. They all come over every year and help me decorate it. It is the most special time to share and cherish. I love nativity sets and have several that will also be passed down one day. Thank you for sharing your home and traditions. Merry Christmas!
Sounds like you have some wonderful traditions Cindy, thank you for sharing!
I love your family traditions, my daughter is now married, but every year I would buy an ornament that represented the year and what she was into in that year, she didn’t know I did this, but at her bridal shower it was one of her gifts I presented her with a beautiful Holiday box filled with ornaments for her tree… some of her ornaments she has a tooth ornament for when she lost her first tooth, the year she got her drivers license she has an ornament to represent that, Disney ornament, etc, etc…
Isn’t it wonderful your boys still want to be involved with the decorating, I know some children lose interest in putting up the tree, and that’s so sad
I love the Santa photo of your Uncle, it’s priceless 🎁❤️🎄
That's such a wonderful gift to your daughter! Thank you for sharing :)
Our cats climb and sleep in the tree. Our tree would be tipped over in 30 seconds or less😂😂. We also did the ornament tradition with our children. They are both out on their own and have a good start on their trees. Lots of memories. We had some ornament filling to do when they left 😂. Our tree was bare looking.
Oh, those naughty cats! Thankfully, mine have never tried to jump in the tree!
Collecting the ornaments for your kids will leave you with no ornaments of your own one day! Ha! I did the same thing. But no worries because then you can get all the beautiful shiny ones that you love. (But keep some of the special ones that remind you of them, because you will miss them terribly). Your tree looks beautiful!! Love it. Love the old photos!
That is true . . . I'll have to start over at some point!
That photo of your uncle with Santa is amazing...
Isn't it? I was so glad I found it!
Very nice! I love the old picture of the Santa Claus!
Thank you!
When my boys were small I had a plastic nativity scene set so that they could rearrange it and enjoy it and I didn't have to worry about it being broken. It's an important part of Christmas, or at least it should be!
Yes! We had one too, it was from Playmobil :)
Melanie, Sue Craig summed up my thoughts beautifully so there's really not much I can say. But I can share a tradition my parents started, stockings filled with a Red Delicious apple, a Navel orange, Mixed nuts and hard Christmas candy. Hard Christmas candy that "ONLY" my parents liked and ate, L🎄L!!!
Love it! Thank you for sharing!
The Christmas Cooler Family Tradition. That's part of what family memories are made up of. That's a new tradition I've not heard of. Beautiful TALL tree. Merry Christmas.
😂😂 Yes!
Everything looks beautiful! I love how your dog is laying in the middle of everything in his bed. I'm decorating this weekend and I have some new things I'm going to try. 😊
Yep, he is cozy right there in the middle of everything!
Thank you for inviting us into your home! Everything looks so cozy and twinkly! We had the same ornament tradition as our kids were growing up. I had hopes they would take their ornaments with them when they left the nest but they didn't want them. (sniff) So I still hang them on our tree every year and they enjoy seeing them when they come over!
That's funny they didn't take them! Who knows, mine may decide to do the same thing :) Either way I guess, it makes for some fun memories!
Love the mantel! ❤
Thanks George!
I love your traditions of collecting ornaments for your kids throughout the years! Merry Christmas my sweet friend! I'll be over for the hot chocolate 🥰
Come in by Cindy!
It’s wonderful to have traditions with your family. Those memories are what they will cherish throughout their lives. Your videos are always so warm and welcoming and I enjoyed the sharing of the ornaments and the story behind your nativity. Have a wonderful holiday season. Looking forward to “part 2” of your decorations and traditions.
Thanks so much Sue!
Truly magical
Thanks Louise!
We have a lot in common. I’m a Melanie, and I have 3 sons and no daughters, and my sons’ names are traditional short names like your boys. I love the nativity, the cabinet topped with lighted garland, and everything else! Thanks for sharing. I love the tradition of the boys having an ornament each year and wish I had thought of it. That explains why your boys don’t hate helping trim the tree!
It does keep them interested! Thanks for watching, we boy-mom's gotta stick together!
Very enjoyable and thank u for sharing your home and family
Thanks Denise :)
Love the cooler story! We do the same with ornaments each year and when we travel. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
We do the same with our girls regarding the ornaments. Our oldest is in her first apartment and has a tree dedicated to her childhood ornaments. Your home looks lovely!!
That's so fun to hear! I hope mine appreciate them :)
Lovely.
Thanks Jill!
Hi Melanie! I have three grown girls and did the same thing, but I made homemade ornaments every year for them (and still do) and also pick up an ornament every time we travel somewhere. When they all moved out, about 100 ornaments went with them! My tree is much more sparse and less colorful, but very elegant and I still love it. I do miss the old ornaments though. Merry Christmas! 🌲
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Love those long pine needle picks that you put in the garland above the fireplace!!
Everything is very very nice!!
Merry Christmas to you all too! God bless you and yours for the new year!
Thank you! Yes, I really like those picks--they add just the right bit of sparkle :)
That’s a great idea about the ornaments. They’re beautiful.🎄✨❤️
Thanks Sarah!
Melanie my table top tree that is about 4 feet in an urn, lights died the other day, after 12 years of sitting out, the lights died. It was a prelit tree, so I took my sharp lil pliers and cut all the lights off, instead of trying to unstring it. It came out to be a 50 light strand. So this morning need to buy a new strand, so debating now 50 lights or 100 from watching your video on how to best light a tree. I could not believe the zillions of decorations I had gotten onto that tiny tree omg! Soooo wish me luck on restringing and the many many decorations that lil tree will sport. Happy Holidays!
Man, cutting off those lights is so much work! That's amazing you got 12 years out of it though!
Beautiful and so Christmassy!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Sweet memories Melanie! Your home is warm and inviting. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing your home Christmas decor with us. ❤
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for sharing your family and home…everything was lovely!
Thank you Cathie!
I think it’s awesome the boys help CHERISH this time with them ☺️💕 by the way they did a fantastic job looks beautiful
Thanks Gina!
Wow how gorgeous and classic and warm decoration ❤ definitely going to take some of your beautiful family Christmas traditions to my family…thanks so much!!
Please do!
That looks so beautiful and cozy.
My mom had that nativity set when I was younger. I wonder if it was a paintable set because ours was slightly different colors but the same mold.
Maybe it was!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
What did you use to create the falling snow effect on your mantle?
Those are some glittered picks from Hobby Lobby!
How do you keep the Tree from falling ???
It’s never really even wobbled… and that’s with 3 boys, a dog, and 2 cats running around. Once it’s decorated it just hangs out, so it’s always worked out :)
it looks like your title says -- christ was at our house
Well, that would be true too! He is in our home ☺️☺️
@@LostFoundDecor you are truly blessed
