    When I was a kid, my aunt and I would smear all-natural peanut butter over pinecones, roll them in bird seed and hang them from trees - the birds loved it (and so did the squirrels)!

      Cherish your family time. My Dad passed in 1980, 2 months before my first child was born. I sometimes wonder what traditions we would have had with him. One of our Christmas traditions, as a child, was opening one present on Christmas Eve. We were all excited every year, and it was always a pair of pajamas to wear to bed that night 😊. I guess to look good for pics in the morning. Although I don't remember seeing Christmas morning pics but I do remember riding my new bicycle around the circle where we lived wearing those new pj's 😂.

And with that music in the background, I could watch you plant everyday. No wonder so many people flock to your channel to watch you. This is one place you know you will get what you came here for and no nonsense.

    I always went with my dad to pick out mothers Christmas gift. He knew her so well, she loved clothes and shoes. O can remember when pant suits became popular, that year he had a bit of an issue. Trying to find a suit that the plants weren't too long. Shopped half a day, finally went to a nice apparel store that actually had petite length. Ot was wrapped there at the store for a few dollar's more. He done good for she was thrilled with it. We didn't have on line shopping but we did have Sears . I ordered just about everything from them. Quality was amazing.

    Hi Laura! Nice new items at Andrews. Those pots are really nice. I would cover the holes with screen before potting them up for gifts. I find it really helps keeping the potting mix inside the pot, so less messy. The plants you picked are pretty. I like the fern, Ficus and Amarillo. I don't have good luck with Haworthia, and some aloe. The tradition with your Dad and siblings is so nice. I hope all of you had a great time! Thank you so much for sharing!

It just makes for a cohesive look. And all plants look good in them. I think my favorite Christmas gift would be receiving a potted house plant (especially from YOU!). Because every time I looked at it, I would think of the person who gave it to me.
