    Thank you for inviting us into your sitting room. It is such a cozy space. And Michael is there with you.
    Next year, maybe you can visit your Naomi several times. It will lift your spirits and you learn more French.😊
    Your hair looks nice. I also cut my own hair. I haven't been to the hair salon in about 7 years...😅 . The last time I went to get my hair done for my Dad's funeral and I haven't been back yet. Through Covid, I learned to cut my own hair and the more you do it the better you get. So, I just keep doing it myself.😊
    Yes, it sure is nice to know that the days are getting longer again. I'll take every second of day light.😊
    I'll be thinking of you over Christmas and hopefully you won't get too sad. ❤
    You have a cozy home and it is always nice to visit you.❤
    Much love and a big bear hug from Jutta/USA

    I just wish I could give you a big hug. I’ve been reflecting myself today too. It would have been my daughter’s 40th birthday yesterday had she lived to receive her transplant. I do so understand your sorrow and your need to recover and keep going. Filling your time and mind with things that you can gain some comfort and happiness from. I pray that you can succeed in doing so. I struggle to do it, even after 6.5 years. I don’t actually think I’ll be quite the same again, but I won’t stop trying. Your tree is beautiful, as are you. Don’t forget, you are a strong and resourceful woman, and Michael would be very proud of you. Lots of love xxxxxx

    Oh Marion, sending you lots of love. You are the kindest, most genuine person I know. I cant tell you that “I know how you feel”, as we all handle struggles differently, but what I can tell you is that you enrich my world, bring me happiness and relaxation each time I watch your videos. You have been a blessing for me during some tough times. May you find joy and piece again in gardening or doing whatever brings you happiness. Thank you for being here for us. You truly make a positive difference in our lives ❤❤❤

    As Bunyan's pilgrim discovered, we are all on this journey separately. We occasionally have good company, sometimes bad but it is our own efforts that ultimately have meaning. My late dad used to say all life changing events open up new vistas for us to explore and explore them we should. New life springs from the most unexpected places!

    Your tree with the lights sparkling and the fairy atop look lovely in your cosy room. Yes it's the time of year for reflection, and what you've achieved this year is phenomenal! The things you've made , places you've been, people you've met, and you've shared it with us. On those days when life hasn't felt so great you haven't been afraid to share those feelings too. Your talents have brought so much inspiration to people, and I'm tempted to say your life should have been in teaching because it's one of your many talents, but everything you've achieved before has brought you to us at this time, so it was meant to be. To so many of us you've become like a friend who visits us every week, and i hope that we have brought some friendship and comfort into your life too. Every week in Marion's World is a surprise 😃so here's to another year of them in 2025!

    I am alone with my 13 year old son. I have always put up the tree in the beginning of December. Love the smell of the pine and the lights. As a child we brought it in on the 24th and put it out on the 27th. I always felt it was too short to celebrate the tree now that it had been chopped down. I live in Denmark and we place the tree in the middle of the room because we walk around it while singing Christmas carols. Merry Christmas dear Marion🎄

    Marion, I too have had a very difficult year. My husband battled throat cancer last year ans seemed to be making a good recovery, but was diagnosed with matasteses in his lungs last October and given 6 to 9 months. The first half of this year was watching hiim getting worse and struggling and then from the end of June I have been trying to adjust to life without him. Some days are better than others, but watching your videos has been a real bright spot for me, and I can't thank you enough. Have a peaceful Christmas Marion and I hope that 2025 will be a better year for us both.

    You've done a great job Marion and your sitting room is lovely. I never usually manage to follow advent calendars this far but I have really enjoyed yours. We have our decorations and tree up thanks to William my lovely kind brother. We only do the mantelpiece on Christmas eve and he will cut fresh holly and stuff from the garden for that which will get tossed in the fire on 6th January when everything else is cleaned and put away again. We have lovely real beeswax candles that William bought me but all the other candles and all the Christmas lights are battery operated as we have a springer spaniel called Barney who is very lively. I have mobility issues so am more cautious than ever about fires and mishaps and William makes sure everything is as safe as possible. Next year I hope to have a lovely advent garland for him to put up for us as I've so enjoyed yours and your mantelpiece morning chats this year. Thank you and God bless you Marion. I thank the Lord I came upon your channel one day and have been subscribed since. I'm going to have a go at the wheel too and William bless him says he would enjoy giving me a hand with it. Love from vera❤

    Marion thank you for all your efforts and time to get these videos out to us. My Angel that has been on my tree for 43 years was falling apart. My daughter made it when she was seven, so she took it home during the year and made her new clothes and hair,even new wings. She knows me well and kept the integrity of the original angel by putting the new clothes and hair over the top of the old. I love it and she should see me out. Merry Christmas ❤🦘🇦🇺🧵Margaret

I just had my usual early morning walk with our dog, and am sitting down with a cuppa for my daily dose of Marion’s World, and I love this morning routine! It was Summer Solstice here yesterday and our longest day. I too always am in thoughts on the solstice days. Your hair looks lovely, the shorter cut suits you Marion! And the tree full of memories is gorgeous, and your room looks warm and inviting. My room looks just as messy after putting the tree up, and it is the same when every Christmas decoration is put away again! I am going to miss your daily talk after Christmas!

Spoke with my grandaughter and her partner by zoom.( they live abroad) Crocheted a few rounds on lap blanket I'm making for a gift. I also clicked on your chanel and watched you trim your tree. Thank you Marion for all your wonderful vid, wish you and the family a very Merry Christmas❤ take care❤

    Happy Solstice everyone! In Ireland the solstice is called Grianstad in our Gaelic language which translates as the sun stopping! Thank you Marian for sharing your world with us ❤

    Hello Marion, thank you for showing us your beautiful tree. I was getting a bit worried when you were moving the heavy furniture around. I liked your settee up against the wall it looked lovely. I hope you have a really happy and blessed Christmas. Lots of love Bella xx

    Marion is there anything you can't do? 😊 Your room looks beautiful. The tree is beautiful. The glass Santa reminded me of my childhood. We each had our own ornament to hang on the tree. My mom would have white felt with glitter on it that looked like snow and a red plastic sleigh with reindeer. Santa would sit in the sleigh with lots of presents. It would sit on a coffee table next to the tree. Also a red felt Christmas tree skirt for all the presents to sit on.
    Thank you so much for helping me remember the Christmases I had when I was a child. ❤❤❤❤❤

    Winter solstice! You are right, this is a reflective time of year. I put up my tree this past week and it seemed that each ornament had a memory attached. That you so much for sharing your decorating and counting down to Christmas Day! I made a star garland from your video and it adorns my tree this year. I may do another to use as Advent, but my ‘making’ will have to wait until after the holiday visits. Thank you for sharing your life with us! I enjoy our ‘visits’ so much.

    Marion finding your channel was a huge enhancement of my year. I’ve shed not a few tears along with you, and I’ve picked up my needle to create again. I didn’t even know how much I had missed it. My gran taught me when I was quite young too. Cheers to a braver year next year and I like the botanical twist as well. Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice.

    Thank you for sharing all your videos. They are so relaxing to watch. I too have tree decorations that belonged to my mum and I am 76. They are a bit old and shabby but I love them. Best wishes for Christmas and for a happy and peaceful 2025 x
