Thank you sweet fairy lady. 2nd year without my mother, feels harder than the first. You brought a little Christmas into my aching heart. Blessings to you.❤️
I feel for you ...missing them is part of grief ...and grief is love with nowhere to go...sending love ❤️
@scarlettskies-100 what beautiful world's I never thought of it like that thank you.
Blessings to you x first year for me this year 😢
i am sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope this next year brings you healing. Bright blessings!
There's nothing like a yuletide decorating video from Allwyn to start my holiday season! 🎄
Aww I'm honoured! Thankyou sweet
💚🌲
Oh yeeees ❤
Ohhh, my goodness, it's pure magic! I have no decorations out because my home is an absolute cluttered meal. I have 4 cats, one who is VERY naughty and will ruin anything I try to do. So, I will watch this video several times and cry because it's everything I wish I could do. Thank you for sharing the beautiful magic with us! ❤❤❤
My daughter has 6, at first I thought she did want to decorate , but no she can't. I will help where I can.
I was going to suggest just clearly a window sill and putting some Christmas bits on there. That's until l remembered Cats love window sills!!!
😂😂😂
Watching this has got me motivated to begin cleansing, organising and decorating for the new season. I'll need to switch out all my Mabon/Samhain decor for my Yule/Christmas things. This is going to involve a trip to the local woods and some kitchen magic- perhaps a festive simmer pot. I already have blackberry vodka (made with foraged berries), Yuletide spiced whiskey and pear and cinnamon brandy infusing in the pantry. I love the smells of this time of year
@indigoblue4791 LOL, Yes they do!! I found a spot that might work for my tinsel tree where they can't get to it. I will make sure there is nothing breakable on the tree, too! 😊
Haha, the cat my parents had when i was growing up used to climb the tree and knock it over. My dad ended up putting a hook in the wall to secure the tree so she couldn't knock it down anymore. That hook was still in the wall when i moved out lol
The slippery tree stump made me laugh 😂
It looked fun
I have a 62 year old Christmas tree which over the years has lost all its green spines and become more of a stick tree. I love nature and feel very inspired by your natural home made decorations and greenery, so will decorate my stick tree with orange slices cranberry garlands and pine cones this year, along with anything evergreen I may find. Thank you for your inspiration. Your decorated home looks beautiful and sparkling.
It's a rainy, foggy day here in my part of the world, but I'm cozied up on my sofa with my dog, drinking hot apple cider while crocheting a scarf for a holiday gift & watching your video. A perfect way to spend a morning! Such a lovely holiday scene you have set! A very Merry Yule to you & yours!
Oof souds AMAZING. I cuddled up in my pjs (yes in the middle of the day) to watch this with some traditional Christmas gingerbread cakes ugueh it was so goooddd
So lovely! Breaks my heart that Palestinian Families are suffering so
Your home is so magical 🎄🍂 You're very lucky that Charlie isn't interested in climbing your trees!! Our cats are not quite so civilized! 🐈⬛🌲🍁 Thank you for sharing the magic of Yule with everyone!
Sprinkle cinnamon on the orange slices before baking for extra fragrance ❤
Thank you for the tip! I just started drying my oranges!
Poke whole cloves in them too ❤
I wish I had a CD of your divine Christmas Sounds 😍😍😍
Im planning to upload them to Spotify 💚💚💚
@@AlwynOakthat will be wonderful!!! 💜
I 2nd that 💚
I would absolutely purchase a cd of you playing winter/Yule music.
@@AlwynOak please do! Also did I hear some Nightwish near the end? I love listening to your Spotify music and I'd cherish a Christmas Album!!!
You don't understand how much I have been awaiting your bew video!!!! Have a blessed Yule
Oh my love thankyou I made it extra long to make up for lost time xxx
@@AlwynOak Looks like I've got something to watch on youtube this winter🎄
I live in a magical redwood forest in Northern California. Thank you for sharing. I am now starting to feel safe enough to let my light shine. I'm excited to fix up my house. Joyous & Happy Yule.
I miss the Redwoods! I went to college at Humboldt. Say hi to the banana slugs for me! So much inspiration up north, with the trees, ferns, mushrooms, deer, elk, and other wildlife. Have a wonderful Yule and winter season! ✨🌲🦌💚✨
@@Cynthia.B Thank you! I'm located 45 minutes north of Santa Cruz University. Sence the CZU Fire our beloved Banana Slugs have not been so abundant. I Love My Magical Forest.
@@ladyheathermackay Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. They'll come back eventually. Nature is resilient! 🌿 I'm in southern California now, surrounded by Oak woodlands and lots of wildlife, too! 💚🦉🍂💛 Take care and enjoy the Redwood trees! 🌲🌲🌲
What surprised me was the part that I liked most was the tree at the end with the ivy. 🌿🌲🍃💚
Thank you. This has made an old child of the wood find the inner child thought lost.
I think im ready for yule but then again I need to make jelly shots, make peppermint bread and ginger put more decor and honestly do spells for prosperity and luck, oof I am going to be busy during the week.
It’s time to worship evergreens and live by candlelight. My favorite. So happy to see this video from you! Sending ❤❤
🌲🌲🌲🌲🕯 my favourite too!! Thankyou 💚
🌲YULETIDE GREETING'S🌲
🎄🍀🐾🦉🦌That fir tree in front of the painting you made of you standing in the woods, looks like it brings the painting even more to life. And yeah, I'm addicted to that fresh cut pine/fir scent too. That fir garland, that diy tree with the ivy wrap, that owl on the other tree, and the "real looking" fireplace ties it all together. A string of all green, & another of all red LEDs makes a tree & garland look even more forest'y still - gives the pine needles a relaxing glow🏅🥇👏😉✌🦌🦉🐾🍀🎄.
My happy space was snuggled up in bed candles lit, cup of tea , surrounded by my crystals, while watching your video awesome.
Blessed Be Alwyn!
Blessed be! 💚
Oh my gosh. When your fiancé talked to Alexa my Alexa said “what was that? I did not understand”. So funny. Thank you for the reveal. The house looks amazing.
WAKE UP THE QUEEN HAS POSTED you are the reason I got into this thank you so much!⚔️🏹🧿
My darling !!! Thank YOU!! 💚💚💚
@@AlwynOak omg omg I’m freaking out you literally the best🧿 ILYSM Earthling 🍃🌲
@@AlwynOakupdate congratulations on 100k my earthling! 💚💚💚
Your home is always so magical in every season. Yuletide Blessings!
Aww thankyou!!! I live to decorate for the seasons 🤣🌲💚
The semi circular pieces of bark really looks like some enchanted doors or grand openings from the fairy realm or some magical secret room or a cute little cottage roof 💕
I have an idea for the bark. You could create wrist amulets with them and add some crystals. Which could be used for grounding. You could even wear the amulets sat on the tree stump throne. All my love Elliot…
Beech and oak trees will hold onto their leaves throughout some of the winter. Nature's way of providing dry tender to start a fire in the middle of winter.
Blessed Be Sister Alwyn Oak ❤🎄 🎉.
Blessed be Heather darling 🌲💚
Alwyn - What a cozy, wonderful Yule time video. Your home is a beautiful, calming and serene space, my friend. It is rainy and snowy here in Michigan, U.S.A. today. A perfect day to cozy up and watch this video. Have a lovely evening and my love to the fairies. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
I love everything about this video, but that Aurora cover song at the end was a wonderful surprise 🥰🥰
I don't know anything about this stone,I respect your wisdom and point of view, I'm intrigued by it, and who gave it to me.
OMG 😳😳 I'm so happy literally so excited I was watching her old video that I have already watched 😂 many times
Yay, tropical thunderstorms surround me, and Alwyn has a new video ❤ That’s just fabulous 🇦🇺🇦🇺
There's only one word for your decorations and thats Magical.
Like a walk through the forest....your home is wonder-full 🌳🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🌳🌲
Your place is truly enchanting! I was wondering how old do you think the trees are in The Enchanted Wood? Do you have any deer there? I love your decorations, and my favorites are your handmade ones (love the sliced oranges, strung cranberries, and glittering pine cones, and those charming black and green leaf paintings). It's also nice to see Mr. Oak and Charlie Cat with you, too! 😊 Wishing you and yours a healthy, joyful, and wonderful Winter season! ✨💚🦌🌲✨
what a lovely video.......I can smell the oranges..................thank you so much.........Blessings and Greetings and have a beautiful xmas time.....................Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
Aw yes, the smell, its heavenly!!!! Blessed Yule darling xxx
Earthly festive. So nice...you brought the woodsy magic.
Why thankyou so much! 💚
What a yule jewel. I specially loved seeing your fairy man helping you decorate.
Thank you! 😊 It was nice to have him in the video x
Gorgeous and magical as always. Gripped from start to finish, I don't want your movies to end! I liked the stained glass oranges best! Also, four trees sounds perfectly reasonable to me! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
thank you lady oak for sharing your experiences and home blessed be and the blessings yule to you and your family
Absolutely brilliant video, thank you Alwyn. The trees and decorations look amazing. I love your enthusiasm and excitement, it's so infectious and lovely X Yuletide blessings to you and yours and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Ps the walks in the woodland are always a treat to watch, thank you 🌼
Darling Alwyn! I hope you don't mind a rather long comment: with one suggestion, one question, and a lot of praise hehe!
I adore how cozy your wee cottage is, your decor aesthetic so matches mine, and every time i watch one of these video's i am either nodding my head in agreement with your choices, or writng down those that inspire me. Yes i make lists for cleaning ans projects too, ever since i was a little girl. They are both pleasurable and comforting. The suggestion i had is to consider getting a live tree in a pot, for next year. We had a lovely pine tree one year from a tree nursery, and then planted it in the forest after yule. It isboth a way to be sustainable, give back to our environment, and enjoy a real tree in our home. And finally, my question is about fashion: where did you purchase that sweet tartan frock? I love tartans, and the red is so festive. Thank you for your videos, the magical lens through which you see the world, and the genuine charm and vibrancy that you bring to each one. Much holiday cheer and winter blessings to you, Alwyn. As well as to Mr Oak and fuzzy Charlie. A very Merry Yule from Mt Angel, Oregon! 🎄✨️🐈⬛
Yes agree with the living tree! Then the garden could become it's own forest 😊
Its still about 60F here in Tennessee or 15.56C. I love my Tennessee woods with clear streams with stone bottoms and waterfalls but I do wish I could see snow a little more often. Some years its none at all.
Your videos are so beautiful and inspiring. Im drying my oranges today. 😁
Oh wow yes still quite warm! I feel the same way the south of England rarely sees snow but its so cold here right now for some reason! Xxx
Oh yes, just that ivy wrapped around the last trunk - perfection! So much inspiration throughout - must buy some oranges!
Omgoodness I have had that exact Celtic knot crescent necklace for 20 years. I've never seen another! Must be kindred spirits.🌞🌜🌲
Happy Yule and have a nice 2024.
The transformation is beautiful! A Yule forest inside your home!
A dream come true 🌲🌲🌲
The space is truly enchanting!!!❤🌲🎄
Hehe thankyou!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲
Happy Yule Alwyn Oak!
Missed you, hope you and your loved ones are well! 🤍🕯🤍
May there be Peace on Earth! 🕊
Wow, it seems like Yule exploded in your home 😍
Magical, and the music is glorious. I am in 🇨🇦 my tree decorations are silver and white, like a frosty morning in winter, which makes me happy. Happy Yule. Your home is a cozy and warm forest, a place to reset during the wintery days
🍄 🎄❄️
A grand scale " Yule glow up"!!!! Fantastic job... Good to see
MR. Charlie inspecting and approving all!! Good to see n hear from you..!!
You've been missed!!
Thanks!!

👍🐺🧙♂️!!
I can listen to you speak all day! So calm and peaceful, thank you for all the ideas!
Thats so kind! Thankyou!
I have been looking forward to this video for so long and it was EVEN MORE magickal than I'd anticipated! Thank you darling and enjoy your rest! Yuletide blessings!
You never fail to enrapture, Alwyn. Thank you for the lovely yuletide video! 🎄🎄🎄Best wishes!
Holy forest! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I haven't been watching videos for a while, and I was so happy to come back and see your Yule video. So many great ideas for making my space seasonal and cozy. Time to go collect a few things from the forest around me.
Alwyn!!!! Happy, Merry YULE!!!! 🌲🎄🌲🎄 It is so beautiful!!!! Sorry for all the exclamation points, but I get so giddy and happy when your videos come out. I live in a small apartment and I have a small (fake) tree in my bedroom. I decorated with a lot of on-hand items and natural pieces as well. Dried flowers, little glass jars with nature in it, some painted and made items and some ribbons and faery lights. I was in a high control group for several years and missed out on the beautiful tradition of seasonal decorating. THANK YOU for your incredible decorating abilities, your inspiration and your love & joy. Have a wonderful month of Yule celebrations and I wish you and your loved ones calm, peace, joy and love. --Tess
I’m so very glad I found your channel. Just in time for Yule. Blessed be. 💚
I also dry grapefruit to hang with the oranges for more color and sizes!
Ooo great idea! Thankyou 💚🌲💚
Once upon a time when I had only one cat, (who still climbed and chewed the tree and ornaments) I had a tree in every room where each of them had a theme. Many years later and many cats later (currently 6, all indoor ones!) we only have one Yule tree in my Zen room hidden from 5 of my 6 kitties. Your “forest” is very pretty, Alwyn ♥️
My goal this year is to have a tree in every room, cause I love trees! 🌲🎄🌳🌴
A truly enchanting video Alwyn. I enjoyed it as always. You put so much detail and patience into the things you do. What I like most is your enthusiasm and joy in these things. I hope to be able to enjoy your videos for a long time. Kind regards from Germany Tara
I have 3 trees & 2 garlands & bits out side in my porch , a woodland feel 🎄🍄💚🦌🎄🍄💚🧚♂️🎄🍄💚
thank you for the mood and inspiration, wonderful fairy💚💚💚💚
your videos are like a healing path for me :3
Awww hehe thankyou so glad you think so!!! Happy Yule 🌲💚🌲
Good morning to you Alwyn Yuletide greetings to you. I enjoyed your video and the walk in the woods always a beautiful place to spend time . I have a few evergreens in my garden they stand out amongst the almost bare trees. I decorate with ribbons and lights picture perfect.Indoors I have a lot of plants and greenery around the rooms with electric candles it's cosy and warm. Your home looks lovely too. Hugs& Blessings for the season. Whilst the Goddess sleeps we also need the time to relax, to gather our strength for the coming months.💚🌹🌞🦇
For the semi circle bark: get a large candle and bind the bark around them with rustic twine and decorate with little nature baubles!
I love the little fairy doll that says Alwyn Oak on her cloak. Could you perhaps make a video where you show us how to make a doll like that? I would love to know how! Blessed be, Alwyn!
Love the 'simpler the better' mindset! Going to take that forward this year for my altar
Another enchanting video! Thanks for sharing your beautiful Yule magic with us!
Thank you so much darling 💚🌲💚
Alwyn, I'm always amazed by your decoration and your DIYs but this time you truly outdid yourself. Your house looks like a magical forest realm. Your hard work paid off.
I only have one tree in my living room because i have two dogs and having a tree when they get the zoomies can be a recipe for disaster. However, what i love the most is putting up christmas lights around the house. They help create this warm and enchanted atmosphere inside when everything outside is dark and cold.
I truly loved this video and just like you, i love watching your previous videos as an inspiration for the coming Sabbats. You energy always motivates me.
Happy Yule, Alwyn and everyone reading this. I hope you all have a wonderful Yule with your loved ones.
Looks amazing and reminds me of my winter decorations. Since my husband wants to have the lights up during the whole dark time ot the year, I do not decorate for christmas any more, but for winter. So I use a lot of trees, deer, birds and houses as well as antique ski, ice skates and a wooden sledge. And of course lots of lights. Even our christmas wreath with the 4 candles (one for each Advent Sunday) has a lot of birds on it. So no need to take the decoraton down after the holidays. 😁 I love your idea, to incorporate your christmas tree from last year into your decor. You really have turned your home into an entchanted forest. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
ohhh dear Alwyn, this was absolutely beautiful!!!! I so enjoy watching all your videos, but specially for Yule. I have to share that I also went for 4 trees this year, 2 real and 2 faux ones. There was something about this year I felt I needed to embrace with more light. I hope you made a full recovery and hope you enjoy all the wonderful things from this season. Thank you for sharing your joys and passions, it helps some of us become contagious with the light you choose to offer to us. Much love !
What a treat to spend this time with you! Your decorations are so cozy and lovely.
As I began watching I literally saw you quiet your step as you walked the Woods. It was beautiful really to see you enjoy the Winter start to settle in. Than from the tea to the simplicity of the oranges, as you decorated your Home into a Whimsical Enchanted atmosphere, you brought everything to life. Just beautiful Alwyn ❤ May your Yule Season bring you Love and Joy 🎄l wish you
Many Blessings 🧙
How wonderful to see that kitchen light!! So hopeful! So happy!!
It’s impossible to pick a favourite part. It all looks so beautiful and flows together perfectly. Thank you so much for your Yuletide sparkle. I’ve been decorating my lounge with everything Christmas and my conservatory I make into a winter wonderland. I do go a bit sparkly this time of year. And have lots of little a little bits for the grandchildren to enjoy. I have yet to do my Yule alter. 🎄❄️
Thank you for this cosy, Christmassy calmness! Always such a treat to watch and see all your wonderful ideas taking shape. Thank you dear Alwyn. Xx
Absolutely beautiful, you're decorations. Thank you for sharing with us, it makes me feel so happy to see the decorations and how beautiful everything looks
Beautiful, thank you! Anna. 👍👍👍❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hi Alwyn!! Thank you for this video, blessed be. ❤
Thankyou sweet! Blessed be 💚
Watching you decorate your cozy space makes me want to do the same 😅 Thanks again for another cozy video. ❤
lovely alwyn.There is a frost down here hope you are all well.wow nearly 100k well done blessings..😉🐿🐱🐱
Thankyou so much Sandy! Merry yule to you 💚💚 chilly today!!
You're a girl after my own heart 💕 I love this so much! ❤️
We were actually at a tree nursery today, and they had Birch bark pieces like that, they put one sideways on the front of a planter box. They were absolutely stunning! 🎄 Having a greenery presentation inside that birch bark box, with pine cones, twizzely-gnarly sticks (maybe with Epsom salts glued on for added sparkle), and some Holly with red berries🌿 🍒 they were stunning! 🍄🌰✨🎄✨❤️
You outdid yourself even when I thought you couldn't. Magical! Beautiful and you really succeeding in bring the outdoors in and making it so Winter Magical
Your room looks so magical. I'm afraid I have no tree this year but I have a lot of plants which I will wrap in lights and decorations. I love your orange decorations and I could almost smell the fragrance. Thanks for an inspiring video ❤
Alwyn, you are such a free spirit! Never loose that! Peace and Love and Best wishes to you, the Bearded One and your fur-babies from Canada!
Everything looks so beautiful Alwyn. ❤
Thankyou Anna! 🌲🌲🌲
How lovely!
Absolutely amazing and truly magical decorating. White lights are my favorite also....Great job Alwyn.
Such beautiful decorations Alwyn thank you for sharing them with us. I'm of next week in my own enchanted place to get my Yule log which I have already spotted. I created one last year from your guidance videos and loved it with the candles burning felt so much closer to mother earth . Thank you and bless you 🙏
Alwyn, as always, loves your videos, very cozy and warm in these dark days of winter. Absolutely love how you decorated your home. It does look like the Enchanted Woods indeed!! 🎄🎄🎄. You have given me ideas to decorate my home, since it's my favorite time of the year. Thanks so much for sharing this video, I really enjoyed it 😊 Happy Yule 🎄🎄🎄
Love all the trees and your lounge looks so woodsy. I'm having a girlfriend over a couple of days after Yule, and another the week after so I need to do the same as you with no excuses this year! Thanks for the inspiration - you did a stellar job in spite of not being yourself health wise and I can see the feline of the house along with the fairies approve of your choices 🥰 As always, your piano music is soothing and I really enjoy listening to it. Thanks, Alwyn, and I wish you and your family many Blessings for Yule and beyond.
Absolutely lovely ✨🎄✨🌿✨❇️✨ 😺 I loved what you did. The oranges and cranberries are brilliant 🍊🍒
I'm doing one tree this year. Hopefully I'll have it all decorated tomorrow.
Muchas gracias de nuevo por tu magia, tu creatividad y tu generosidad al compartir! Mis mejores deseos desde España para toda esta comunidad y para todos los seres mágicos como tú!!
Thankyou for such a beautiful video for yule...what a lovely gift for us all who love you alwyn..x your home is beautiful, thankyou for your inspiration you have given me throughout this year.
You have a special beautiful soul ❤
Don't ever change.....blessed be to you, and all who follow you.... this yule xxx
I’m glad u tucked three pine cones with the green candle, and not two 😅
Always three! My rule... the power of three x
I just love you so much. You just make my life so much more magical, I always love your videos, and I couldn’t imagine my life without them.😊👍😊❤️
Your home looks like a magical wonder land 💚🎄💚🎄💚🎄
Give the gift of a little forest as a gift using your bark pieces. Kind of like a cornucopia of sorts but with the bark... Moss, leaves, etc added. I know I'd love it!
Thank you for sharing, loved everything. Having a rough time this season and getting into the spirit of the holiday (no snow has not helped lol). This really got me motivated because I am a nature girl all the way... Making oranges with my son tonight!
That's such an amazing idea! Thankyou 🥰
We had a dusting of snow this weekend, so your video was wonderfully timed for me!
I've just got the wreaths up for now. Will be working on the rest this week.
Im excited to decorate a woodland themed tree this year. 😊
Hi....I must say how much I enjoy your videos. I am not pagen and I love how you included a bit of everything. I am older & believe Christmas does & should bring out the child within & your channel does that for me. So magical & beautiful. I love trees & have many natural things from the forest in my home also. 🌲💚🌲💚 hope your feeling better.
