First time watching your channel and I loved it all!! Your tree, oranges, ribbons, candles, Crosses, tree skirt, so beautiful 😍😍😍 I just loved it all & watched it several times 😊
@hymnsandhome подскажите пожалуйста, что вы насыпали в стаканчики, чтобы поставить свечи туда, что вы насыпали в кружки для поддержки свечей? Спасибо 🙏❤️🌈☀️ Привет вам из России 🙋🏻♀️😊
It opens your mind towards the things that live in your house and you meet every day without noticing them any more. It's time to change their roles and locations. Thank you so much from Italy.
Thank you for your refreshing honesty. It does take several days to decorate the home for each new season, as is evidenced by how many different outfits you're wearing in this video. UA-cam influences tend to make it look as though all this beautiful decorating can be effortlessly accomplished in a single afternoon. It cannot. You made a wonderful home.
Thank you so much, Laurie! I purposely did not wear the same outfit over and over to create the illusion of one day. I think that sets unrealistic expectations. Creating a home is a process and it's okay that it takes time. Thanks so much for watching!
Your tutorial was truly a breath of fresh air in the world of online tutorials. I couldn't help but watch it twice while I was busy cleaning the kitchen, as your warm and welcoming voice and manner made it such a pleasant experience to listen to - I had to go back and fully watch. It's exactly what I've been hoping to find in online tutorials - a focus on making and creating a home using items we already love and own. I was pleasantly surprised and refreshed when you mentioned the Lord as the reason for the season. It's rare to hear people talk about God in their Christmas tutorials, and it's something I've been silently searching for in my holiday how-to's. Thank you for bringing that unsaid aspect to light. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! It's so welcoming.
Thank you so much for your encouraging and uplifting comment, Chelsea! I'm so glad my video was refreshing and meaningful to you. I felt the true meaning of Christmas needed to be included in some way! Thank you for being here and a blessed and Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you so much - just wondering when Christmas turned so drab, as I see all over now. I need a little magic and color as this is one time of the year it is so fun. I make all my decorations and gifts but love the special smells, sounds and glow of Christ's birthday celebration.
Your house looks so beautiful and you are so talented.I am from Romania it brings me back memories from comunism era when we didn’t have the things that we have today.
Dried orange slices is one of my favourite things to make! They make your home smell amazing and make such beautiful garlands and ornaments! Such a fun collaboration! 🫶🏻🎄
Hi Melissa, awesome to find you tonight…first time! ❤I SO enjoyed the decorating in your home! And Thankyou for not running with the Santa theme! Jesus Christ is the Only reason for Christmas…everything else is meaningless! Making the Cinnamon sticks made into a cross were extra beautiful! Yes, Jesus came…to die for our sins, to shed His Precious Powerful Blood for us, to give us the opportunity to receive Him into our hearts, to experience a new deepest heart relationship with Him, and the Promise of Eternal Life with Him through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour! May Almighty God bless you and your family SO much! And the precious little one inside your womb! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a very first time watcher! My question is, *did anyone else have a hard time knowing the upload was going to end?* It was very beautiful and very nostalgic. Thank you ❤️
Hi Melissa, Thank You for sharing this Beautiful video with us. I Love your channel, it is So Calming, Sweet, and Inspiring. Your home is So Beautiful, You have done an Amazing job at creating, a Wonderful space for You and your Family. Melissa, You are So Giftedly Creative, and I am inspired to incorporate some of the Sweet touches that You shared with us. 🥰 Sweetheart, Thank You again for Sharing, Inspiring, Encouraging, and Uplifting So Many of Us. Lord willing, until next time. 🙏🏾 Love In Christ, Paula
Beautiful your home is beautiful and making your decor it very special/ lovely ❤❤❤Thank You for sharing brings back a lot of memories for me when my children was small and I handmade a lot of holidays Thank You Again so far your the only one I watched with sewing machine making ...❤
Your aesthetic is lovely and cozy. I agree with what you said about looking around the house for items you can use to decorate and we don’t have to bring home new box store hauls to create a beautifully decorated Christmas atmosphere. I think my favorite thing is the meaningful tree skirt you made with sentimental materials. Merry Christmas.❤
Your English cottage inspired decor is way up my alley! I have decorated my home similarly :) I absolutely adore the Trader Joe’s bag DIY. So many good ideas to try here!
It's very classy & wonderful. . May Jesus our Lord cheer up your heart with all His love to you.. & may you receive all the warmth & love St. Mary received while carrying Him in her hug.. May you get the joy of His presence while taking care of your family.. Merry Christmas. .🍒
Hello Melissa; Ohh my goodness what talent you have with decorating. Everything was just so beautiful, your style and your home shows it. Thank you for sharing this with us! 😊
Hi Melissa! The tree skirt you made is absolutely stunning! Everything turned out so lovely. I love your decorating style, I get so many wonderful ideas from you! Thank you!
Everything looks so cozy and homey. I think my favorite was that wash basin with the greens and candles. Such simple impact. I also could not throw out those bags with the cute houses. The garland is to sweet.
I am new to your channel and I'm so glad I found it! Your style is beautiful and your home is just what I desire my home to be! Thank you for your peaceful way of sharing! Blessings to you!
Best Christmas video, style, DIY simplicity, on UA-cam this year that I have enjoyed hands down…everything about it was nostalgic and very relaxing to watch…thank you for sharing…I’m about to set out some time to binge your channel … 😍…Merry Christmas to you and your viewers.
Your videos are pure bliss to me! You live in paradise! You inspire me to want to change everything in my home yours is so warm and calming! Thank you for sharing the beautiful music that makes your videos even more special! Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤️🌲❤️🌲
So refreshing. Love such a natural look. I also love to use what I already have and enhance it for the holidays. The cute garland made from grocery bags was genius!
Wow I sincerely enjoyed your video; you are so peaceful and lovely and have set the tone of your home the same way. Calm and quit and easy, all of which are missing in our day to day present world. I’m so blessed to discover your channel. How wonderful to see the crosses on the tree to commentate our love of the Savior who gave us new life. Very inspirational I love your home. Merry Christmas💕😊
Such a lovely home and holiday decor. I was just thinking, I don’t know anyone else my age (mid thirties) who does this in their home these days. Then I realized it’s because I don’t know any other homemakers. I’m only able to be a stay at home mom now that I’m disabled. We have really lost something in our culture to have both parents working out of the home 40+ hrs a week. We’ve lost the sense of home itself. These kinds of videos, and my home when it’s at its best, recalls traditions and care and keeping for the home that I have only vague memories of from my grandparents. I hope some of us can rekindle these traditions and instill a deeper sense of home and family for our children.
Thank you so much! I agree - it has become far less common in our culture, but I do thankfully see a resurgence and glimmers of hope in many corners of social media and even those around me in real life. I am sure your time at home is a blessing to your family!

Thank you so much - just wondering when Christmas turned so drab, as I see all over now. I need a little magic and color as this is one time of the year it is so fun. I make all my decorations and gifts but love the special smells, sounds and glow of Christ's birthday celebration.
Thank you, Kathie! I love the smells and sounds too - so many sensory experiences. :-)
The simple decorations are the best and let the beauty of the season shine.
I completely agree!

They sure do! Glad to be a part of it with you!
I love dried oranges too. Do you ever make cinnamon applesauce ornaments…the smell lasts for years. It is fun to do with kids.

Thank you so much, Katherine! Well said - He is indeed the only "reason for the season!" The rest pales in comparison.
I'm a very first time watcher!
My question is, *did anyone else have a hard time knowing the upload was going to end?*
It was very beautiful and very nostalgic. Thank you ❤️

Aw thank you!
Пушистую елку украсим свечами и в час,
Когда колокол полночь пробьет,
Мы снова услышим у нас за плечами,
Как ангел рождественский песню поет.
Very nice…thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Such a lovely home and holiday decor. I was just thinking, I don’t know anyone else my age (mid thirties) who does this in their home these days. Then I realized it’s because I don’t know any other homemakers. I’m only able to be a stay at home mom now that I’m disabled. We have really lost something in our culture to have both parents working out of the home 40+ hrs a week. We’ve lost the sense of home itself. These kinds of videos, and my home when it’s at its best, recalls traditions and care and keeping for the home that I have only vague memories of from my grandparents. I hope some of us can rekindle these traditions and instill a deeper sense of home and family for our children.
Thank you so much! I agree - it has become far less common in our culture, but I do thankfully see a resurgence and glimmers of hope in many corners of social media and even those around me in real life. I am sure your time at home is a blessing to your family!
