26:30 Tea time and a Feather Tree
Sleepytime tea by Celestial Seasonings has the following ingredients: Chamomile, Spearmint Lemongrass, Blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, hawthorn and rosebuds....whew!
My momma grew up during the depression. She lived on a farm so there was no shortage of trees, but decorations was something else. The youngest of 9 children her older brother would buy her gum every time he got paid. She would save the silver wrappers to use as tinsel. I think I might investigate depression style Christmas trees.
That would be a fascinating subject indeed. I must ask my mother, she's 94yrs old and still remembers the Great Depression.
What a treasure to still have your momma! Please tell us what she says!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow So your mother is 95 now? What did she say?
@@kristinburton4953 Unfortunately , she didn't remember much about it... she was still rather young.
Just fabulous. I just received 2 feather trees recently and am leaning towards Victorian decorating. Your house is a jewel box and you are the biggest gem in it.
What a lovely compliment! So true
Thank you for that! Lovely old feather trees are almost comical in their simplicity.
Yes she is. How beautifully stated.
I would like you to show us how to make some of those pretty victorian Christmas ornaments this season they are so beautiful...I have seen some videos... but the ones you made are way more fancier than the others I have seen...just love this video...
Your cat carpet or tapestry caught my eye. I would love to know where I might find one.
My grandparents - born arround 1880 - , never had a Christmas tree. They had a big wooden cross , decorated with greens , mirror balls and tinsel garlands .
That sounds beautiful
I don't think my father ever had a Christmas tree as a child. Of what decent were your parents? The wooden cross seems very Russian.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow They were Dutch . Roman Katholic . They concidered a Christmas tree as a fellacy. Hedon .
Pietje Puk sounds fascinating! I am in Ireland & my mother, born in 1930, says that as a child her family did not have a Christmas tree. Small sprigs of holly & home made paper chains were used to decorate the home.
@@feeonaghchambers7403 They were facinating people . With facinating lives.
In this time upheaval and sadness, we need a time to unite and feel a sense of security and hope. this is very calming, thank you !
I love your history lessons! I learn so much about antiques from your videos and it’s fun because you actually use them rather than simply displaying or keeping them packed away as many people do. 😍
Beautiful. I love the history
So lovely! Thank your so much 🎄🐂🫏🐐🐑
Love this video! Very cozy, very informative, and I loved all the picture books you flipped through. 🎄💕 How I wish more people made videos like you do here on TH-cam! ✨☃️🎄
I wanted to read a story from one of the books, Maybe I'll do a super short video for that.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Yes, please do. And why not, right?!
Oh Jeri!!!! PLEASE DO!!!!🙏🙏🙏😍❤️
i had a pickle ornament. it's a tradition from Germany. my dad's side of the family all came from Germany. the first person to find the pickle on the tree would receive an extra present from Santa. i love old ornaments
Those Germans had a good sense of humor... silly pickle.
What a wonderful tradition
You have such beautiful treasures. Thank you for sharing them with us 🎄
I've been so enjoying everyone sharing their Christmas decor on this quieter more solemn holiday season. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Jeri🦋 you’re Christmas Decor is unique and natural, I loved it , natural resources is perfect,so. Sweet and lovely ,I enjoyed watching your lovely film .thank you so much again . Merry Christmas 🎄God bless and peace grace all of us 🙏💙🦋🧚🏻♂️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a wonderful and beautiful video. I do believe that the Dresdens you have are Russian ones, not German. The Russian ones are flat, whereas the German ones are more ornate and three-dimensional. Both are beautiful in their own way. Thanks for sharing your collection and Happy New Year!
Thanks for the info!
It´s pronounced "Lowshah" (with the ow as in "now"). Lauscha glass is famous to this day over here in Germany. The tree is my favourite and most important thing about Christmas. When I decorate it, I want to do it all on my own, it takes me at least 2 hours until every bauble and every straw star and every little ornament has found the right place. I always do it traditionally in red, gold and straw, mostly. Colourful modern trees may look nice, too, but I just can´t do it. Doesn´t really feel like Christmas. And of course it is always a real tree. No plastic. And it has to go up right to the ceiling. I love big trees.
A lovely video. Merry Christmas to you and your family Jeri!
And to all watching this video...Merry Christmas!⭐
Thank you! You too!
Oh, Jeri, simply perfect! Merry Christmas!
I so identify with your videos. As a family tradition, Lutheran, we always got our tree Christmas eve and decorated it. There were 7 of us so you can imagine the excitement. Thank you for sharing your time and joy. I am enjoying every one of them.
Thanks so much, glad to have you here!
I love the tapestry of the cats, it's all so beautiful you have a beautiful home Jeri. Love Christmas
What a wonderful calming video Jeri 💚 Your videos are like a small vacation into a different magical world ✨ And your esthetic is so enchanting and unique
I enjoyed the German roots of Christmas, not sure if I pronounced Laschau properly.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow yes you did pronounce it right ☺️
Agreed!
That tree is amazing!
Memories of my Nam’s Christmas trees, they looked like fairies and elves decorated them! My grandfather would take me to the scrub woods in Florida and we would bring home a scanty pine tree and set it up in the Florida room. Christmas morning a beautiful tinsel laden tree, with cone shaped candy baskets and other delightful decorations would magically appear, this led to a life long love of Christmas and giving! Thank you for this lovely reminder and history! Blessed and safe days!
I can almost see your tree in my minds eye! What a wonderful memory.
Your trees are lovely! Can't wait for tea time!
Jeri, you are now part of my Christmas tradition experience… Just finishing up watching your Victorian Christmas tree video and I have watched all your other Christmas videos. It is just like a wonderful, gentle friend teaching with such a beautiful, relaxing voice and enjoying the historical aspect of your life and home! Thank you thank you Jeri. You have made my Christmas time much more sweet through these years! So grateful for our Jesus who came to take away the sins of the world.
My husband and I are alone the first time this Christmas and you have just been a lovely companion…
Well I am so happy to have joined you and your husband this Christmas, if only in spirit. May the Lord give you a beautiful day and a great new year!
What a lovely collection of Victorian ornaments.. in such good shape. I am enjoying all of this. Thank you so much for sharing..
Merry Christmas Jerri, may God bless you now and the whole year through. From my heart to yours.
Same to you!
I had a plastic bird like yours as a child. I wish I still had mine. I’m 72 now and miss so much now. Thanks for renewing a memory.
I enjoy reading about the history of Christmas and now with internet watching videos that explore this magical time. Your video was perfect and such a delight as you unwrapped your treasures. I'm already anticipating the next one. Blessings

Thank you! You too!
Thank you for the lesson on the history of the Christmas tree. Your tree came out quite nicely. My mother use to have a collection of glass ornaments and it always happened that someone would end up breaking one, they were so delicate. Happy holidays to you.
What a beautiful video. So relaxing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your memories...❤
Once again the music is perfect. I love the swan in the beginning. The bowl with fruit and votives in the fruit inspired me. I'm going to do this. Thank You Jeri for sharing your beautiful Victorian tree. Blessings!!!
The fruit bowl is both practical and tasty!
You win hands down for the best Christmas video on TH-cam. I loved hearing the history of the Victorian Christmas tree and was delighted to see your ornaments that were so beautiful. The feathered tree is amazing as well. Thank you for sharing , I am delighted!

I am from Germany and my Grandma had this kind of christmastree decorations on her tree.I can remember of all the silver birds.
I collect the celestial seasonings tins too, I *love* them! 🥰
Your channel lowers my blood pressure in the best way
I just LOVE and enjoy your videos so much. They give me so much joy ! Thank you !
It must be such a dream to open up your Christmas decor every year and remember the history of it all. Everything is so lovely with age and patina. It's all so beautiful!
The history lesson was very fascinating. I love finding out when traditions start and where they come from. History is so interesting.
I hope you and your husband have a Wonderful and Glorious Christmas! Many Blessings!
Thank you, I hadn't opened those boxes in 3 years! Our last few trees have been simple Pioneer trees.
I love that your videos teach me about the past, and I love the tea time at the end. I love looking at all your beautiful treasures.
The paper crackling as you unwrapped your birds just made me grin. Merry Christmas!
May the true blessing of Christmas be upon you and your family, Jeri! This is beautiful! Hugs!
Indeed, and the same to you and yours!
Thank you for your video, there are things I didn't know about Christmas ! So beautiful . Merry Christmas !

Jeri, I loved this video! Thank you so much!
Thank you Jeri for an absolutely delightful day!
Your Victorian tree is gorgeous, filled with lovely vintage treasures! I always enjoy your videos and always gain some knowledge. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻
This takes me to a time where one could enjoy the peace and quiet. I remember admiring my grandmothers tree. Pine cone elves, big fat colorful bulbs, and all gifts wrap in sparkly tissue paper. I would just sit in the quiet watching the tree lights while the adults were in the other room talking and catching up.
It really is peaceful to just sit and enjoy the tree with a pot of tea.
In this chaotic and material world I thank you for whisking us away to your charming cozy home to remind us of gentler times with family and friends. Oh how we need this...away from the rush of shopping bargains and expensive gifts and department store decor. You are what my mom called an olde soul in a young body! Love and anticipate each video to share. God bless you...Awaiting the next one.
Our pleasure! I'm probably more like and Olde soul in an Olde Body...

Jeri, I just love your videos. Can't help but slow down , free my mind and just soak it in. You are a treasure.
Thank you so much for being a part of it!
So lovely!
Such a great video! Merry Christmas Jeri!
I watched a documentary last week about Biltmore Castle. While they were discussing Christmas trees he said the first person to sell ornaments here was the founder of Woolworths. A seller convinced him in 1880 to purchase them and only way he could convince him was to guarantee they would sell. He reluctantly put in a small order and sold through them immediately. The next year he ordered lots more and the rest is history! He said his sell of ornaments through the years was where he got a lot of his wealth.
That is so interesting and believable; I am sure that my own mother would have purchased boxes of ornaments from the local Woolworth's
As ever, a beautifully presented video outlining the history of Christmas trees and the wonderful Victorian trees and ornaments. Really interesting that you pointed out about differences between pagan and Christian traditions that seemed to have mingled together. Looking forward to your next one. Greetings from NZ!
There are so many more symbols and traditions that need to be explored, one never knows where the road will lead...
Wonderful! Thank you! Brings back memories!
So Beautiful !!!!!
Just beautiful. Thank you
I remember my first Christmas with my husband. We blew the inside of the eggs out and hand painted holly on it with clippings of berries and other items. Fun making your own. Beautiful ornaments. Love unique.
How sweet and lovely!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow your channel has really inspired me. I actually made scones for the first time tonight. Found a easy recipe. I remember you having them on one of your shows. I couldn't help but think about you as I was eatingvone tonight😀Saw you eating them and then on when calls the heart they eat them. Thanks for your lovely channel.
