- I used to love decorating for Christmas - the lights, the ornaments, the whole festive vibe. But somewhere along the way (hello perimenopause), it’s started feeling like more of a hassle than holiday magic. And yet… here I am, dragging out not one, but TWO Christmas trees. If you’ve ever looked at your decorations and thought, “Do I really have to?” - you’re not alone. Let’s see if I can muster some festive spirit while I wrestle with branches and fairy lights.
Grab a cuppa, sit back, and watch me try to make sense of why I keep doing this every year. Maybe we’ll find the joy in it together… or at least have a laugh along the way.
In this video, I’ll take you along as I set up (and possibly wrestle with) my Christmas trees, all while wondering why I keep doing this every year. If you’re looking for relatable holiday content, a laugh, or just some background company while you decorate, this is for you.
🎄 Do you still enjoy decorating, or has it started to feel like more effort than it’s worth? Let me know in the comments!

Finding a channel dedicated to over 40 living can actually be a struggle here on TH-cam so if you have landed on my channel hello!!
I may not have a jet setter lifestyle but I’m real and I’m honest…oh and I have a bucket full of Yorkshire humour 🙃

Vlogmas Day 20….A little late but you know what they say!
This is the absolute best representation of Christmas tree erecting that I’ve ever been involved in! What’s it like in your house? How do you feel about decorating this year? Tree or no tree?
Poor Reece had that xmas nearly surgically attached lol 😅😂❤
Watching you both attempting the pre lit tree was hilarious 💞
Trees look beautiful.
Well done guys xx
Lovely trees! Your family will love them. Reece was a good sport joining in the fun 😊
@@1jackieworcs Thanks…yes he definitely is that! X
I've finally got mine done. Smaller tree than yours as it stands on a little table, but equally sparse inside. I saw someone on YT saying to use bigger baubles and hang them right inside the tree, near the trunk. It really does help to fill in the gaps, reflect light and make the tree look better. I only had normal sized baubles, but it really has helped the tree look better.
Yours both look lovely, but the video was hilarious. Especially your comment about being overly hot in the chuffin' Christmas jumper! As a woman of a certain age I did have a laugh at that. The UK is barely out of autumn by Christmas, it's always too warm for Christmas jumpers.
I hate putting the tree up, but I love it when it's done
Trees look lovely xx🌲🌲
Our new tree is green with white on ends of branches.
Well done you! It's worth the effort to do it for the family 😊
Merry Christmas 🎄
@@dianeoconnor5903 Merry Christmas to you x
They both look amazing hun ❤❤❤
Thanks! Xx
My tree is so old, we bought it from Woolworths!
Well that’s one worth keeping!
We have a real tree that's pot grown we got 6 years go. The intention of bringing it in to decorate it. There are so many creepy crawlies in it that it's fully decorated& staying outside. Why haven't I done this before, it took so much stress out of Christmas by looking out at it& it not taking up valuable indoor space when you have a houseful of people. Happy Christmas, I'm still at Bah humbug stage.
@@nickyarcher5004 😁 there’s nothing wrong with being at Bah Humbug stage!
You can make a tree look better by filling in the middle with a couple of green garlands makes it look fuller 😉 I used to love writing cards wrapping presents and doing the decs but I have lost the enthusiasm!
@@dollydaydream5839 I hear you! X
Fantastic job but I have to say you have more patience than me I would have lobbed it through the window. We have Balsam Hill Ours aren't going up because of our two mastiff pups. Take care my lovely 😘🥰 xxx
@@sweepsmamma 😁 if I’d not been filming I’d have been putting it up in my bra cos I was red hot!
Aww bless you I get like that as well xxx
So i say thank you Joanne or is it more thank you Reece? But either way i love seeing the tree get decorated.
you’re welcome ahaha
I couldn't be assed to put the tree up this year. And luckily my 13 year old daughter wasn't bothered this year either. So no tree.
Why
@juliethomas4724 My daughter is past the age of finding it fun to decorate it. It's a faff to get out from under the stairs. So we haven't bothered. It's just a tree.
We were saying today at work sometimes it can feel like a lot of effort. By this times your kinda tored of hearing the christmas songs. I love the build up but often think the day must bring so much work, particularly for women. I hope you get to relax a bit on the day xxx
@@lisasafiullah8774 I won’t get to relax on the day but I am looking forward to the last days of December x
I really admire your determination and effort! You have some beautiful decorations, but dissapointingly i didn't spot a pineapple one! 😂 I have no decorations up at all this year as my husband had a cancer op 2 weeks ago and its too much to get in the loft and get everything out and then put it all back. We are not at home for Christmas so i hope im forgiven?!!? 😘🥰😍🎄🎄🎄🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
@@anneheslin9923 yes, no pineapple one! Do you have pineapple decorations? I imagine they aren’t the easiest things to find? Are you with family or away for Christmas?
@adventuresafternoontea I have been gifted quite a few pineapple Christmas decorations over the years, people see pineapples and think of me, it's lovely. My youngest daughter has just moved to St Anne's from London so she is hosting Christmas this year. I'm excited as I've never had a Christmas by the sea and it's her sister's birthday on Christmas Eve as well, so all my lovely family together. ❤️🎄🎄🎄🍍
@ that sounds fab! We’ve done Christmas in Devon before, Daz and some of the kids did the Bude Christmas Day swim. I bet you’ll have a lovely time…enjoy! X
I've given away so many baubles & decorations this year to people who dont have anything.Gets less & less each year
I do not like putting the Christmas tree up! It is such a chore!
