If you get a live Christmas tree, make sure to keep it watered. They soak up a truly unreasonable and unexpected amount of water, and they need every drop of it, otherwise they dry up, turn brown, and turn into an ugly fire hazard. There's no way to know that it's getting sad about being low on water by looking at it -- by the time it's looking brown, it is too late! Water every day, maybe twice. And be prepared for every creature in the house to drink from the tree's water, and half of the creatures to try to climb it.
Katie I love your videos they are great! I am blind and you inspire me. I can imagine your soaps just buy the wonderful description you provide. I always know what you are doing because your videos are so verbal -really -descriptive. I just started making melt and pour soap. Maybe one day, I Will step up and make cold process soap.. Thank you and keep making such interesting soap.
It bums me out so many people hate on “early Christmas” in shops. Many people can’t afford to buy all their Christmas decor or presents only in December and financially need to spread out their purchases. I personally really appreciate being able to buy fresh Christmas lights or start getting presents as early as possible to help our budget!
But if you financially can’t afford decorations in the few weeks before December or in the weeks leading up to Christmas, why buy them anyway? You don’t need decorations it’s just a time to celebrate with family.
1. do you need decorations so much that you buy them even if you can't afford them?! 2. how about putting each month the money you would use for this aside, just what you would spend anyway, to use it all at once in december or late november i don't mind getting prepared for chistmas in november but I often see christmas decorations in september... how can it feel like a special time of the year if it is there for 3-4 month? same with all the easterbunnies popping up right after christmas
About the tree question : we do neither! Ist's kinda common in my area to buy a tree with roots. In the main time of the year it sits on the balcony or in the garden and is brought inside in December. Of course it's also decorated and stuff like a fresh cut but at the end of the year one doesn't have to throw it away. Actually it ist really beneficial for the ECO system!
Maybe next year you could do a southern hemisphere Christmas soap (although I don't know how 'christmassy' that would look...). It's summer for Christmas in Australia and we usually have BBQ's, go to the beach... some of our Santa pictures have him in shorts and a hawaiian shirt riding dolphins or kangaroos, not reindeer!
oh hell no. christmas is always snow and reindeer and carols and jingle bells and drinking mulled wine by the fire, so australia x never thought of how weird that would be fo you guys, but nope nope nope.
I live in central Florida about 10 min from the beach. It can be a bit chilly but we def have lots of Santa's in shorts,light up flamingos, and Christmas lights on palm trees🌴🎄
No one in my family had a Christmas village! When I got married I always wanted one but they’re so expensive for a family of 6 kids. I saw the white plaster craft ones so I started buying the pieces and painting them myself. Each year I add pieces. I even bought a train! Lol. Now my children are in their 30’s and are saying that when I die, they’re going to have to split the village into 6 smaller villages because they all want it! I have working lights and all! Your soap is the bomb!!! It’s putting me in the christmassy mood!
You are such a delight. My 11 year old daughter and I enjoy watching your videos together. We were baking the other day, and as I was scraping out the bowl, we both looked at each other and said "scrapey scrapey the containy!" then giggled. Thank you for brightening our days.
Oh yes! I love this soap. It's beautiful and I'll bet it smells wonderful. As for the tree question, I've had both fake and real trees growing up. We started with a fake tree we had for years and it finally got so icky looking that my Mom decided we would get a real tree. Dad would complain every year that Mom and I had to get a huge tree. Mom finally had enough of his complaining, so she made him go get the tree one year. He and I went to the tree lot and picked out a pretty tree. He was so proud. He just knew it would be a perfect fit for the spot we usually put it in. We got it home and in the stand and in the house and we had to move furniture to accommodate it because it was the biggest tree we'd ever had, lol. I was the one who always did most of the set up, lights, and decorations. Now that my folks are gone, I just can't bring myself to put up a tree anymore. :'-(
My husband is a priest. When he was in the seminary he made friends with another young guy, and the two of them are kinda tall, big dudes. They used to say, ‘You know the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Well, we’re the Moron Block and Tackle choir!’ LOL Lovely soap!
You are kind for mentioning we are not obligated to buy your soap. I support because you're very talented and I too am a small business owner. Keep up the great work.
We always got a fresh tree, because fake trees were too expensive, but then one year during spring cleanup we saw a fake tree box on the garbage pile of a store that said free. So my mom shoved it in the car and said “hey, if it’s garbage we can just put it out with our garbage.” We got home and set it up and it was beautiful!! The only thing wrong with it was that one limb was broken so it hung lower and made a gap in the tree, so we just put that side in the back. That was 7 years ago and we still have it and use it to this day and it doesn’t make a mess of needles 😁 (Also, maybe you could do a winter Northern Lights soap? I’ve seen them here in Canada and they’re beautiful.)
Oh my gosh! We do Christmas villages! It's one of our traditions. As a kid, I loved moving around the little people and laying down snow and pathways. We'd have it covering an entire table!
This is one of my favorite holiday soaps that you've ever made! Here I am three years later scrolling through your videos to find this specific one to watch on Christmas, just because it was something I needed to do. Thank you for all of your content!!
Awwww this is such a beautiful and graceful design. I love that it's not overly Christmas-y and is more generally Winter-y. My family does Christmas and Hanukkah (yay bi-cultural family) but a lot of other families don't celebrate Christmas. Happy holiday season, y'all!!!
What a stunning soap! Really love the trees on the snow glistening hills! My entire family has a Christmas village in our house. It started when we were kids and my father bought every year another piece, like a ice skating ring😉 And yes, in my family we all have a fake Christmas tree, but we put the lights in by hand, string after string.
When I was a kid my folks used to get a real tree. We made a tradition of building a bonfire out of the tree on New Year's Eve. Nowadays my folks have a plastic one, while my husband and I have a holiday Storm Trooper! We both love Star Wars and we're too lazy to take it down so we just switch up the decorations to match the holidays.
At my parents house we have my great-grandmother's fake tree. Part of the fun is that it's one of the early fake trees so it's so very clearly fake, but it's definitely old enough to be considered an heirloom at this point, so the tradition stands! It's also super short so when we jam-pack it with all of our ornaments it just looks crazy and I love it. We've had a real tree a few times, but the fake one is just so much better. We don't have a tree in my apartment because of lack of room and cat havoc potential. My mom has a Fontanini collection which is like a Nativity scene that's branched out into the whole village. She's got shepherds and angels and bakers and little weaver girls or whatever you might expect to find in a small village around that time. They all have names and stories that come with them, so it's pretty cute.
I have a couple different Christmas villages, not including my Snowbabies collection. But this soap. I need one. It made me tear up because it reminds me of decorations my Grandma and mom and aunt used to make.
My family had one of the little christmas villages. It had a cotton batting throw, then beautiful painted wood and metal houses, benches, people, animals, etc. And lots of trees. We even had a mirror and ice skaters! I was devastated when I found out my mother gave it away a few years ago.
We buy fresh ones because we used to get them at our local scout hall. It always made a mess and left your arms itchy from carrying it to and from the car but it made our house smell AMAZING. One year we even kept some spare fronds in the unusable fireplace in the living room to keep it smelling good until Easter :)
My aunt makes this huge xmas village with the trail every year! She also gets this 20 ft fresh tree and we decorate it as a family a few day before xmas! I'm 28 and still await anxiously every year for xmas so I get to see it all 😍
We always used to have a fake tree but two years ago we found a Christmas tree lot that let you walk through their land and pick your tree and cut it down and then you could go for hot chocolate and roast marshmallows, make a whole experience of it. It was the last Christmas we spent with our daughter, she passed away at the age of 6 last October. She had so much fun playing in the snow and she talked about finding our tree for months after, so we will always have a real tree and go back to that lot to get our tree.
Love live trees, but with kids and cats, we have found the artificial more convenient. The soap totally rocks the mountain/trees scene. Keep up the great work!
this is beautiful! a lovely displace of snowy mountain tops! it reminds me of a sunny day & the sun shining on the snow! Nope can't afford a real tree!
We always go out into the woods by our house (or one of my dads other pieces of property) & chop down our own . Ah, the joys of living in Coastal Maine🎄❄️ 😊
I have a Christmas village! Two actually. One is the Christmas Story village that my mother in law purchased us, and another is these little ceramic houses that I paint every year and add to it. We do fresh trees. I grew up with plastic, and it was sorta because of allergies and sorta because my mom hates real pine trees. For the past 14 years however (since we bought our house) my hubby and I have gone real. Despite I'm allergic to it, I wouldn't miss that fresh pine smell for the world. lol I just make my husband and daughter decorate the tree while I get the rest of the house!
We used to get real trees but now we have one that we keep up all the time. It's a pencil tree and we love it. The soap is A-MAZING!! YES, the gift you gave your mom is adorable. I think she liked it.
As kids my sister always broke out with cold sores around Christmas. When we moved from the country to the city we got an artificial tree. No more cold sores. She was so allergic to the sap. Beautiful soap btw
I think this is my favorites soap you've ever done. I love the mica on top and glitter and all that jazz and the tree is adorable. Makes me want to be in the snowy mountains somewhere with cocoa.
I LOVE IT. Okay, honestly, winter is one of those seasons that I have a love/hate relationship with. I tend be very downtrodden during winter but then it's things like this and the idea of snow and beautiful evergreen trees that make it a little better T-T
We used to always buy a live balled tree in Tennessee the first weekend of December when we were down there for a Christmas party in a cave (yes you read that right). We'd haul it back in our Airstream trailer to Indiana and decorate it. When Christmas was over dad and I would plant the tree on our property. I'm 34 now and those trees are now taller than the 2 story hosue itself. We no longer live there but still try to buy a fresh cut tree. Last year I myself bought a small, sad balled tree, planted him myself and named him Bruce after the Incredible Hulk (because he's green). Bruce is doing well and will be getting a friend hopefully this weekend. I'm thinking Clint, for Hawkeye. Yes they will all be named after Avengers. These will become habitat for my birds and bats and ground critters as the grow after we had a lot of very old trees come down the past few years. Gotta be a good earth steward!
A pine soap! It's gorgeous! I'm totally going to get this one I will fight everyone for it! Also, on family Christmas traditions, every year my family watches the Albert Finney Scrooge on Christmas Eve and it is the only version I love. I always recommend it because I think it's just superb and it's a musical and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't adore that version.
Pine is one of my favorite scents this time of year. Also, absolutely love Rick Steves!!! My fiancé got me into him and we have binged so many of his shows....and his European Christmas show is absolutely amazing. Makes us want to spend all of Winter over there traveling all over.
when i was a child my dad got three pieces of wood, propped them up in a tripod type way. wrapped them with tinsel. boom a Christmas tree. he doesn't care about Christmas that much haha
I have an aunt that threw the annual christmas party and she has a HUGE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE! she still dose it every year the night before christmas. Everyone gose to her house for hours and hours of fun and family time.
Hi, I luv it. Ive got a village not that little either. It reminds me of childhood. I lost my mam at 14 and have had a village and added to it ever since. Luv from across the pond x
I am pretty new to living on my own, but a few years back I needed a white 2ft tree for work. I then took it home and had fun spray painting it with various different green paints and it’s actually really cool. Hopefully next year I’ll have the cash to get a 6 ft reusable tree.
Did you ever think of making a gingerbread house soap!? The way the bar looks when cut reminded me of a gingerbread house! It looks so adorable. Plus pine is my absolute favorite scent so I’m LIVING for this bar.
Man, i love when stores are filled with Christmas stuff or any other holiday for that matter, especially when it's a good long month too early LOL! Gets me feeling excited for the day to come weeks away
my grandma has a bunch of those little christmas villages with all the color changing lights, and some moving parts! she used to just have them around on the shelves during christmas but a couple years ago she started putting them on tiered shelves in the general shape of a christmas tree, and thats replaced her normal christmas tree! honestly a genius idea, and it looks really cool!
You are just so wonderful! I've been keeping up with your videos for about a year and you are so addicting! I love you to death! You have truly been my inspiration and motivation in my tough times and it just makes me so happy to see you thriving and doing well! I plan on doing my first "piping" this week and I would love to send you one. Blessed Be ♥
Love this soap! I absolutely adore everything that has to do with christmas! (Except the cold) A family tradition at our house is watching Sissy (the princess) movies.. It's someting my mom already did with her family when she was young. ❤
We've had both kinds. I told my husband we could keep the fakey until my son was old enough to enjoy picking a tree out. Also, my mom and grandma had christmas villages.
SOAP FAIRY SQUAD = *Being able to sled down a mountain without getting cold*
Thanks for watching, peeps! xoxo
Xoxo 😁
Please please please make the three kings soap this year
So if you’re always working ahead... what months soaps are you working on right now?
If you get a live Christmas tree, make sure to keep it watered. They soak up a truly unreasonable and unexpected amount of water, and they need every drop of it, otherwise they dry up, turn brown, and turn into an ugly fire hazard. There's no way to know that it's getting sad about being low on water by looking at it -- by the time it's looking brown, it is too late! Water every day, maybe twice.

I'm bribing my kids to do their chores with the chance to watch this "The new soap video." My nearly 5 year old son is the most excited for it.
O hmm n. Non ml

Happy little trees!!
Lol, that's great!
Lol. Love this!
Oh I loved Bob Ross!

Those colors are giving me awesome Slytherin vibes and I love it!!
I love everything about this soap! The trees are so adorable!!! The sprinkly sparkly snow peaks - awesome!!!
Awwww this is such a beautiful and graceful design. I love that it's not overly Christmas-y and is more generally Winter-y. My family does Christmas and Hanukkah (yay bi-cultural family) but a lot of other families don't celebrate Christmas. Happy holiday season, y'all!!!
It’s crazy but this is legit my favorite soap you’ve ever made. I can’t get over the trees, just perfect!
What a stunning soap!
Really love the trees on the snow glistening hills!

My grandmother got tired of setting up and breaking down the village each yeah its a permenate installation all year long
My family had one of the little christmas villages. It had a cotton batting throw, then beautiful painted wood and metal houses, benches, people, animals, etc. And lots of trees. We even had a mirror and ice skaters!
I was devastated when I found out my mother gave it away a few years ago.

Definitely not arguing with 3 videos this week! Super happy to see you and the new soaps. Couldn't like this soap more than I do!
The colors remind me of eggnog,Christmas trees and coal. Absolutely amazing soap
The drop swirls on this soap are AMAZING! So agree with you about the green, it was so beautiful! Can’t wait to pick up this soap next month!
Mountains? Trees? Yay!!
Love live trees, but with kids and cats, we have found the artificial more convenient. The soap totally rocks the mountain/trees scene. Keep up the great work!
The grey is gorgeous! Actually, it's all lovely.
The swirls remind me so much of ski lines in snow!
I love the real Christmas trees simply because of the smell its so nostalgic for me ❤🎄
this is beautiful! a lovely displace of snowy mountain tops! it reminds me of a sunny day & the sun shining on the snow! Nope can't afford a real tree!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the asymmetrical design of this soap! 🤩🤩🤩 Please remake! 😉
My grandma had a Christmas village! It always fascinated me!
We always go out into the woods by our house (or one of my dads other pieces of property) & chop down our own . Ah, the joys of living in Coastal Maine🎄❄️ 😊
I LOVE that fragrance!!! We use it every year. It reminds me of Cherry Dr Pepper!
I have a Christmas village! Two actually. One is the Christmas Story village that my mother in law purchased us, and another is these little ceramic houses that I paint every year and add to it. We do fresh trees. I grew up with plastic, and it was sorta because of allergies and sorta because my mom hates real pine trees.

We used to get real trees but now we have one that we keep up all the time. It's a pencil tree and we love it. The soap is A-MAZING!! YES, the gift you gave your mom is adorable. I think she liked it.
Probably my all time fav. one you have done so far.
As kids my sister always broke out with cold sores around Christmas. When we moved from the country to the city we got an artificial tree. No more cold sores. She was so allergic to the sap. Beautiful soap btw
This is by far the best drop swirl I've ever seen 😍😍 xx
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas~ *whistles*
That soap came out amazing! Real tree for sure!
Can you do a soap in honor of Stan Lee?
That is a lovely thought
Yes this please
Yyyyeeeessssss
@Thora F yes he died this morning
Savi savvy very sad but 95 is a pretty good run. He had a great life and left his legacy.
My mom is obsessed with Moose and Forest. This would be perfect for her! Thanks for this video, keep up the great work.
Ok this one is #1 on my list so far!! Sooooo pretty!!!
Omg this soap is gorgeous. Not a shocker your soaps are always gorgeous
THIS IS BU FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE SOAPS OF YOURS!!! MORE SEASONAL SCENERY PLZZZZ
I think this is my favorites soap you've ever done. I love the mica on top and glitter and all that jazz and the tree is adorable. Makes me want to be in the snowy mountains somewhere with cocoa.
hearing you talk about KERA is sending me back home in my mind. I miss Dallas terribly.
I LOVE IT. Okay, honestly, winter is one of those seasons that I have a love/hate relationship with. I tend be very downtrodden during winter but then it's things like this and the idea of snow and beautiful evergreen trees that make it a little better T-T

Oh my gosh Rick Steves I love that guy!
The smell of cinnamon and pine are my favorite Christmas scents. It reminds me of my grandmother.

Also, on family Christmas traditions, every year my family watches the Albert Finney Scrooge on Christmas Eve and it is the only version I love. I always recommend it because I think it's just superb and it's a musical and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't adore that version.

No lies the grey had me surprised but that GREEN oh my gosh is so pretty. Live this soap so much.
This soap is stunning!!!! I’m obsessed with it!!! Can’t wait to order!

So wintery and beautiful!

I have an aunt that threw the annual christmas party and she has a HUGE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE! she still dose it every year the night before christmas. Everyone gose to her house for hours and hours of fun and family time.
I love your videos, you should do more soap packaging videos, even if it's just a casual unedited or live, I would totally watch!!
Hi, I luv it. Ive got a village not that little either. It reminds me of childhood. I lost my mam at 14 and have had a village and added to it ever since. Luv from across the pond x
I love those colors for the drop swirl
This SOAP OMG IT'S SOOO BEAUTIFUL!♥️
Yes!! I love the Rick Steves Christmas special and I know exactly what you’re referencing. You really did a good job of capturing it!
I am pretty new to living on my own, but a few years back I needed a white 2ft tree for work. I then took it home and had fun spray painting it with various different green paints and it’s actually really cool. Hopefully next year I’ll have the cash to get a 6 ft reusable tree.
Omg! This soap is SO beautiful 😍
Did you ever think of making a gingerbread house soap!? The way the bar looks when cut reminded me of a gingerbread house! It looks so adorable. Plus pine is my absolute favorite scent so I’m LIVING for this bar.
watching the rick steves christmas show is a family tradition for me too!
I've used this fragrance and I think it smells just like a fresh pine tree with a hint of eucalyptus! Very much like Christmas!
That green is stunning
I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SOAP !!!!!!!!!!!
This soap looks so good 😊 perfect for winter and not just Christmas!
Man, i love when stores are filled with Christmas stuff or any other holiday for that matter, especially when it's a good long month too early LOL! Gets me feeling excited for the day to come weeks away
Those trees tho!!!! Perfect!!!!
Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE YOUR MOMS PRESENT!! I CRIED WITH HER LOL!!!
my grandma has a bunch of those little christmas villages with all the color changing lights, and some moving parts! she used to just have them around on the shelves during christmas but a couple years ago she started putting them on tiered shelves in the general shape of a christmas tree, and thats replaced her normal christmas tree! honestly a genius idea, and it looks really cool!
Gorgeous soap 😍
You are just so wonderful! I've been keeping up with your videos for about a year and you are so addicting! I love you to death! You have truly been my inspiration and motivation in my tough times and it just makes me so happy to see you thriving and doing well! I plan on doing my first "piping" this week and I would love to send you one. Blessed Be ♥
Love this soap! I absolutely adore everything that has to do with christmas! (Except the cold) A family tradition at our house is watching Sissy (the princess) movies.. It's someting my mom already did with her family when she was young. ❤
We've had both kinds. I told my husband we could keep the fakey until my son was old enough to enjoy picking a tree out. Also, my mom and grandma had christmas villages.
I love Rick Steve's Christmas, it's the BEST!!...and WOW WOW WOW, Bee U Tee Ful soap as always :)
Those swirls on the inside look beautiful! I loved the color combination too, it really brings that pine feel.
AWESOME SWIRL!!!! 💖 💕
