Wow! You did a great job decorating, especially love the carousel. You should start a business with the Christmas tree decorating, you had some great tips🎉
Thanks! Mom always as me about the style she chooses and I always tells her it's never wrong, it's your style, it's what you like so it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it. There's always colors, patterns and placement that makes things look better. With a tree you need it to be all blended, you never want someone's eyes to focus on a specific place on the tree, if this happens they will always focus on that specific area and not the overall beauty of the tree. You want people eyes to be scanning the entire tree so placement of colors are very important.
Oh my God, you guys had me in stitches while you were decorating the pencil tree. From the star getting on your mom's nerves and on an on. Reminded me of myself actually, as I often get a little short & my family always get a kick out of that. The house looks like a Christmas card, absolutely beautiful. The Nativity is stunning and is always a fixture in our homes during the Christmas season. Have wonderful Christmas from my house to yours.
I just had to make another comment. Your Christmas decorations are fabulous. The Victorian carolers are amazing. Your mom has spent tons of time and money and her Christmas collection is amazing .
Thank you so much. A lot of the idea Mom purchased over the years and most came from K-Mart or Target 🎯 in the States. The carousel she paid around $30 for over 20 years ago. I've seen them now for $150 online. The carolers are old as well, over 20 years old. If you had to buy them today they would cost a fortune. The nativity scene is new and Mom been wanting a nice one for years so Dad surprised her with this one for Christmas, of course she wanted to display it for this Christmas. It's definitely an amazing quality and looks beautiful. Mom loves it, as one former subscriber said, Mom curses like a sailor and couldn't keep watching our content. Mom have strong beliefs, so having a gift like the nativity scene is something she is very proud of.
Your home is a Christmas wonderland. It's beautiful. You've got tons of Christmas decorations. The Nativity is gorgeous. Newfoundland homes are beautiful. I've really never had an opportunity to see Newfoundland lifestyle and how their homes are constructed. It's absolutely lovely. You decorate gorgeous. Love it. Happy Christmas !
😂There's a story behind that comment. Riffs always got a sign in the window that's there's a 33 1/3 off sale, so mother said I'll go and get a few small items for the railing. Mom went in riffs and pick up a bunch of Christmas items that she figured would be around $20. When she got to the cash, they checked everything in, they said $60, Mom almost fainted haha. Mom said this is all on sale, you charged my regular price, they said anything with a green tag isn't on sale. Something they don't tell you unless you notice your being charged regular price. None of the Christmas items were on sale so Mom left most of the items on the counter, I told her I would have left it all.
Just started watching your video about two minutes in and the wife said " he's a good decorator buddy" ..... You're definitely got an eye for it and the tree needed to be fluffed not whatbthe cousin said lol. I'm sure if its like cooking mother will top of the game next year. When you said go to Riffs and your mother said ...."see that flash" I almost choked I laughed so hard, she's priceless so witty , so fast definitely quick on her feet. You guys have quite the collection there my buddy awesome job. Hope you have an awesome week , I'd say Merry Christmas but I'm sure we'll be chatting before Christmas lol.
Believe it or not, I take after Dad for the decorating. Dad as a good eye for color, patterns, style, etc. Mom always gets me to go with her when she is picking out paint colors. Moms very quick with the sarcasm, people thinks I gets it from Dad because they think Mom is a sweet little lady, but she ready with come backs. When I buying a vehicle, I take Mom, I don't take Dad. With Dad I'll end up paying more haha with Mom, I'll get a deal, Mom isn't shy to call it as it is. Mom have laughed at sales people when they have told us the price hahaha. Mom went to the furniture store about 2 years ago to get a sofa. There was a sale, Mom love sales. While we were there looking we seen an employee sitting down on one of the chairs, a sales lady asked him to go out back and prepare a few items for shipping. Then she came to us to see what we wanted. Mom asked her if she could save the tax on top of the sale, she told her the items she have bought there in the past and she will new a new fridge and oven very soon. The sales lady said she would need to speak to the manager and they would have to make that decision. Few minutes later the employee returned from the back and Mom was quick with the tongue and said, I know what you were doing, you were having a nap out back, he laughed and then the sales lady turned to the employee and said, this lady was wondering if she could save the tax on the sale price...he was the manager, Mom was quick to say she was just kidding, you got to have a laugh to make the job more enjoyable and to have a manager to do physical work is something you never see, you must be the best there is hahaha will she got the tax taken off the sale price hahaha.
@NewfieLifestyle Awesome, my wife and I absolutely love her quick whit and humor and the tell it like it is attitude she's simply awesome and tell her I said so lol.
Wearing my Newfie Lifestyle t-shirt to the worlds largest Costco tomorrow to see if there are any fans. We have mostly Scandinavian lineage here, your Petersens, Andersons, Jorgensons, etc. but I’ve turned up the occasional Stamp & Babcock, and of course the hills are crawling with Osmonds. So we’ll see if I can find anyone with a good tip on fresh codfish (not bloody likely).
Wow, just wow! So many beautiful pieces. The dining room table was lovely. I feel the need to run out and get more garland. I'm still just getting to cards. Merry Christmas!!
Those plates are plastic from the dollar store. Each year Mom buys more of the cranberries, pinecones, little twigs, etc, they can be expensive if you buy a lot at one time so over the years Mom have been adding to the collection. Mom as a room full of Christmas items that she collected over the years, our village that we use to display would take up half the living room. Roads, train, mountains, skating rink, etc. it's a lot of work to display and she don't have the room anymore, so she just takes out a few houses now. We love Christmas and it's our favorite time of the year so we use to go all out. Mom would always wait until after Christmas and buy things on sale for the next Christmas.
Yuletide greetings from snowy New England. Great video. You did a great job. Curious on where and how your mother stores the decorations? Must require a lot of room.
Everything is taken off the tree and store in large containers, the tree remains standing in the back of the downstairs office. Anything that was bought in a box is stored back in the same box, and stored in a narrow room that we call the tool room. It's great having you here from New England. Really hope your enjoying our other content as well.
@@NewfieLifestyle Thanks for the reply! Stormy day here in coastal New England. Hurricane force gusts expected later today with heavy rain. Probably headed your way. Seas running 20 ft. offshore. Yes I enjoy all of your videos. Fell in love with Newfoundland years ago and have been there. Trinity on Bonavista Bay is a favorite. Of course St. John's is nice as well. Been to Grand Banks then hopped a ferry to St. Pierre et Miquelon as well. Hoping to get up to Fogo Island and Joe' Batt's Arm someday soon to do some kayaking. Would be intered to see a video of you making Flipper Pie at some point. It's an old school dish I'm sure but very traditional.
Oh My!! Gorgeous!! You could do an open house tour and collect money for a charity!! Merry Christmas from the mainland to you and your family! All the best in 2025!
great job on the decorations
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comments
