      @@seedandsparrowhomestead Thank you, how sweet of you. I forgot to mention that I really like your chalkboard message. I wasn’t recalling those specific words to the song so I did some research. What a beautiful reminder and so pertinent to today! Tomorrow we have a reunion breakfast with folks from a church we attended years ago. Along with the entire song, I will be adding the story of how it came to be to my Christmas Card. Your video today has been a blessing and a joy to me in multiple ways. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you as well!

    When my littles were excited early about Christmas I’d put an artificial tree in our piano room study and they made all their own ornaments. Under the tree was a hand made Afghan wrapped around then a ….doll table with chairs for their favorite doll or teddy bear. A little tea set held different treats for Santa….Wrapped candies and cookies.we had many pine cone people and animals from nuts.
    The kids would sit about the room and make cards for the elderly home they sang carols at while they listened to a story on tape ( dates me )each nite. Popcorn garlands and hand cut snowflakes everywhere. Glass jars filled with dough art cookies and many small candy canes in a Do A Good Jar…one candy cane each day for a good act they did…..wrote what they did on a little paper star to replace the candy cane….
    I miss those days…cherish yours.❤❤

    I have never seen anything in all my life more warming and loving than a family making homemade Christmas.. this is by far the best of all the Christmas I ever seen decorated.. I would take these Christmas decorations over any of the ones in the stores.. you got it right Mom keep doing this and your kids will grow up to know and appreciate what they got ...not trying to out do everybody and trying to get name brand stuff .. like most people do ..homemade is better..

    Your sense of decorating is rich, earthy, and elegantly simple. This video makes all of the other "DIY's" look garish and gawdy. A well done video, the pace of it, the soft music, the movement of the camera, and the close ups.

      After the past few years, especially working in retail, I crave the old-fashioned ways. Less stuff, less pressure, less have-to's... I'm already tired from just the first half of this year. The second half I'm going to work on slowing down and decluttering so I don't crash and burn for Christmas... like I do every year. lol

    Hi:) Is there any way to get the name of the album for the piano/harp music that was played for this vlog, please? I’m a new subscriber and just found this vlog today! I’ve watched it 5 times already and am in love with the calm visuals and soothing music. Your children are adorable! Your youngest reminds me of my 18 year old son when he was a toddler. (He’s my last one still at home and will be graduating from high school in a few months.) I must admit I teared up a bit missing those magical years! He’s a wonderful young man but you just can’t get the innocent wonder back. I do so hope you are cherishing this time with your precious children. It goes so fast.❤️🎄

      Aw thank you so much! These years really are magical! I'm already seeing how fast it truly does go, I blink and they grow an inch😭. I'm cherishing these moments for sure! These little ones have taught me so much and make me slow down and enjoy the simple things.
