Your tree is beautiful & I love the color combinations! I just saw a gold Northern Star at a store this weekend & wondered how I could put it on my tree! Thank you for the tips! 🌟💗
I always wondered how to place the ribbon on a Christmas tree. There is a small tree in my bedroom that I keep up all year in honor of my daughter that passed 11 years ago. She loved Christmas! Ribbon is going on her tree this year! Thank you for all the ideas! Plus I love that you paused and played with your pup! So sweet! 🥰
I’ve always wanted a “decorator tree” and I pester my husband every year for one. Well…he is all about the nostalgia value of a Christmas tree with all our old ornaments, ornaments passed down from deceased family members, etc. and refuses to consider a change. And you know what? Every year after the tree is up and decorated, I am so happy he keeps insisting. So many memories are hanging on our tree. Guess I will have to admire others’ beautiful trees (like yours) and be content with our sweet memory tree!
I too have many old ornaments that have been passed down but I love to change things up every year. I still incorporate the vintage pieces but I try various new ones. I especially love the velvet ribbon method for hanging ornaments. Merry Christmas!
I luv how you take the time to teach/educate us! Your tips are appreciated and your tree is lovely! Thanks for sharing your tree decorating skills with us. Stay blessed my friend....
Sometimes someone will show you something that is brilliant in its simplicity. I have been decorating trees for almost 50 years and I never thought of decorating the top first. Makes the best sense. Your methods are easy and the end result is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Hope you and husband have a beautiful holiday season.
Word of advice with for all of you watching this…..USE PIPE CLEANERS OR ZIPTIES ALWAYS with your ribbon! Keep them attached to your ribbon when you dismantle your tree and you’ll be ready to go for next year! Trust me when i tell you to attach your ribbon or you’ll be messing with it the entire holiday season
Your amazing! I love your positivity, cheerfulness, and your creativity! Thank you so much for sharing! Tell Jason your fans are praying and sending you both best wishes! Big hugs!
I have this same tree and I love it! I always love to see how others put ribbon and bulbs on and yours is spot on. I start mine up under my topper however with 2 loops (like a bow with ribbon tales pointing upwards and then billows, ribbon tale and start over. I use 3 different ribbons. Two together for my main and a different for an accent. Lots of picks and sprays and bulb clusters and ending with 3 different specialty bulbs. I do 5 trees so I've already started decorating. My main tree is done. I started one of my foyer trees this morning, took a break and set up the Christmas village. I will be decorating for the next 2 weeks at least.
Love it! The only thing I hate about wrapping the ornaments into the tree, is having to take them out LOL. I want to grab that junk off the tree and get it put away. And I love pics!
I love the fact that you stopped and went and played with your dog. Woman after my own heart! Beautiful tree. Am praying for you both. The Lord bless and keep you. Keep joyful. 🕊
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful ideas, now I feel inspired. Your tree is just beautiful. You make my Sunday afternoons so fun when I get to watch you. Thanks again.
I’ve never put ribbon on my tree mainly because I could never make it look nice. You’ve inspired to try again! Thank you for all the great ideas! BTW your tree is beautiful!
So pretty & love all your videos & how you decorate! I’ve watched others on how to place ribbon in Christmas Trees but your step by step explanations are so much easier to understand. I appreciate that! Thank you & keep doing You!!!❤
Lots of great tips and gorgeous colours - your tree is going to be so pretty. I always use floral wire or paddle wire to wire my ornaments to my tree (an old Martha Stewart trick) but the best part is that you can wire an ornament to the top of a branch to fill a space when you run out of picks and nobody will ever know it is upside down unless you tell them.
Gorgeous tree! I absolutely love all these ideas. My favorites are the way you hung the ornaments. This makes me so excited to decorate my tree this year. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. ❤
♥️🐾🐾♥️I just love the opening of your Christmas season videos! It’s so beautiful and reminds me of the opening of one of my favorite Christmas movies. Leslie you are such an inspiration and joy to watch and it really touched my heart when you paused the video to pay some attention to your sweet Evie. Their time with us is short enough as it is so any opportunity we can grab to make the most of it with them is time well spent. I can’t wait till next week for your home tour and to see your finished tree and other decorations. I also truly appreciate that you always make sure to point out what the reason for the season is and why we celebrate it. I can’t wait for Sunday afternoons and your newest video! You and Jason are in my prayers daily. ♥️🛐♥️
Oh my thank you so much. I always wondered how they did all that…. Very beautiful and you have a wonderful personality in teaching. Thank you again for sharing.
What a GORGEOUS TREE and such AMAZING ideas for how to decorate the tree. I just love the suggestions, and I think I will use ALL of them....is that okay, or would you say pick one ribbon style or one hanging style?!? Your attitude towards LIFE is inspiring my friend-I pray Gods Grace continues to bless and guide you! Sending hugs and prayer! 🙏💛💛🙏
Off to watch this video. Just wanted you to know I LOVED your Christmas decorating video in your bedroom!!!🎄 That photo you took of your parents is priceless! I could feel your love for them. I feel the same exact way about my parents who are now in Heaven. Today would have been their 74th anniversary.
74 years holy moly that is just amazing . my mom Inlaw and my dad Inlaw were married 65 yrs before her passing 4 yrs plus years ago and sad to say he passed peacefully this past nov 7th at the age of 90 . They are together again and would have been married almost 70 yrs had they both lived . My husband Misses him terribly and he never stopped missing his mom 🌻🌻🌻
Your tree is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the tips for putting ribbon on the tree! I've always wanted to use ribbon but did not know how to make it look pretty!
Your tree is beautiful. Really love the way you did your star and picks at the top. Also, your use of the signs on the tree was really unique and keeps the reason for the season front and center! 👍👍
Leslie, thank you so much for today's video! Love your ideas. My fav is the "Joy to the World" (might even look cute with plaques like Joy, Peace, Love, Merry, etc!) and also twisting the ornament holders around the branch. That truly looks SO much nicer than hanging them for sure! Also love all the ribbon ideas. I hope you and Jason have a wonderful, blessed Happy Thanksgiving!
This has given me the confidence to try the ribbon, but the ball cluster is something I've not seen before. Taking down fall and putting it all way and then pulling everything out for Christmas is no JOKE! It was like a 12 hr day for me w/ having a fully finished basement that gets decked out too. Also wanted to say you looked really nice in your dark blue shirt, very flattering to you.
I just a happened upon your video. What a lovely sense of style and your positivity is infectious. Kudos to you for sharing your journey. Many prayers to you and your family. I will share with those that I know who are traveling a similar journey / diagnoses.
Beautiful! I put my tree up today, but it has a completely different look. We have a kitten, just over a year old, who destroyed the tree last year when he was tiny and ever so cute! My thought this year was to hope he would be over it, but knowing his personality, I opted to try to cat-proof it instead. We got a new, inexpensive pre-lit tree so he couldn't pull the lights off. I got a battery lit, variegated holly garland with red berries and wrapped it around the trunk where he couldn't dislodge it. I added red and gold bows to the boughs, tied on with pipe cleaners. I made a few pipe cleaner curls, bows and stars to fill in a bit, all twisted onto the branches. We finished with a small topper, wired on, and tied the whole thing to a ceiling hook with invisible fishing line. It's not fancy, but it looks festive. The kitten, now MUCH larger than last year, has already been up and down twice, but most things have stayed on! It will be my daily meditation to fix the tree each morning :) He's (mostly) worth it ❤
Love your videos! I have a skinny tree and was nervous about decorating. My OCD kicks in and oh boy lol! Your designs are beautiful. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas to you!!
I have just found your channel and I’m hooked, they way you show every item, how to make and attach to the tree is brilliant. Wishing you and your family best wishes.🙏
It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to watch episodes and my goodness, thank you for reminding me what a blessing you are! Beautiful tree! I’ve never decorated my (live) trees like this but you have given me wonderful ideas for this year🥰 Then, add to to it your beautiful personality on top of that….thank you, thank you!!! Continuing to pray for you 🙌🏼
I love love your tree this year ❤❤ Beautiful and when you put the grapevine on it it is awesome !!! You need to have Southern Living , even if your not south, do a piece on your beautiful home decor 🥰🥰

So sorry for the loss of you’re beloved daughter . I bet she’s going to love the ribbon 🎀 on the tree this year 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you for some great tips! I like the grouping and also the wrapping the wire up close to the branch!
🎉❤🎉
I am so sorry for your loss💔🙏🏻
I am so sad when I hear someone has lost their child! I am so sorry!
Sorry for your loss of your daughter. My heart is with you because mine was taken from me also . Do what bring you peace.

I love the sweet memories! You didn’t notice, but I have lots of nostalgic ornaments in my tree all throughout. 🥰
I too have many old ornaments that have been passed down but I love to change things up every year. I still incorporate the vintage pieces but I try various new ones. I especially love the velvet ribbon method for hanging ornaments. Merry Christmas!
Do you have room in another room in your house to put up a second tree? You could make it a decorator tree 🌲 perhaps.
Exactly❤❤❤

Your tree is very pretty.
Great ideas for ribbons and I love how you did the ornament cluster! Glad I haven’t decorated my tree yet. I’ll definitely try these ideas.
Great video! I wish I had watched it before I started decorating my tree. I will use these fabulous techniques next year.
