    Linda, you’re such an incredible person. Thank you for all the gift ideas and thought you put into your channel for all of us. I also think this year’s Christmas decor is brilliant. Very garden inspired with the topiaries and pops of red. Very classy, smart lady and I love your style. Thank you! 🌲🎅🏻😘

    The apples I buy in November for Thanksgiving decor are the apples I use in my simmering potpourri I use in December for amazing holiday aroma. I assemble all my citrus and herbs and spices in a crockpot that I hide away in my living area, that way I have total control over the effectiveness of the scent and worry free about turning it off at night.

    We keep our stockings up empty (but take them down when we have a fire) until the big night, then I always fill them Christmas eve as our tradition is to open Xmas morning. I grew up in the UK and we didn't have stockings but had a pillowcase at the end of our bed. Also we celebrated SinterKlaas growing up (my mother being Dutch) and we always put a klomp (wooden clog) with a carrot in it, placed at the fireplace. :)

    Hi Linda…Hi Stewart…First of all, that October Glory Maple is absolutely beautiful and loving it’s life in that spot…The tree trunk has expanded double its size or more since you planted it…I miss the 3 Autumn Blaze Maples I planted at my old house in NM…Up here in CO, I’m still working on hardscaping and still haven’t researched what Maples would do okay at a higher elevation (7260)…The 4 feet of snow we had early Nov broke so many of my plants😢…A lot of them are buried in snow still today…Thanks for such a wonderful holiday idea video…I’m having to order everything since going out shopping is no longer the easiest…You are beautiful Linda thank you for sharing your sweet 💚…

    That's the difference between America and Europe. Linda is saying " at the end of the season", so close to the Christmas day etc... In Europe the real Christmas season only Starts with Christmas Day. This is the beggining of 12 days of Christmas, than on 06 January we have an Epiphany , and then there is a whole Carnival Season going on until the Ash Wednesday , until Fast - we have parties and balls going on ... and this the real Christmas season:). Christmas trees and decorations can be kept until 02 February , which is called Candlemas, which is traditionally the 40th day of and the conclusion of the Christmas-Epiphany season. Many countries in Europe , which is traditionally Christian still follow that tradition. ☀️☀️☀️
