    Nobody left on Kate’s very long couch, we are all on the floor laughing:
    Minimalist ❓🤔😁
    Prawns 🤣🙃🤣🙃

      It’s set as one of the languages.
      English is not my first language and I find the emoticons are universal
      and convey so much more faster 😁

    And there was a prawn, in the East, which brought the Three Wise Cats to check where the rest of them were.

    I knew I was missing something decoration wise. Now I know what it is. I'm missing my Christmas prawn. You will never know how much you brighten up my life. Love you Kate. Merry Christmas.

    • @mrscms831
      @mrscms831 4 роки тому +1

      Yes indeed. Every one of Kates followers should send her a pick of their Christmas Prawn. A must have for every Christmas tree, now and forever.

    I have smiled for 15 minutes and 18 seconds. The Christmas tree is beautiful. Simplicity and home made is much more elegant than store bought. Took me back to my child hood of stringing pop corn garland and dried orange slices with my mother and grandmother. Every thing was home made, sad that so many children today don't get to enjoy making hand made decorations and gifts. Can't wait till tomorrow to see what gift you bring us.

    Christmas Prawn! New tradition! And I just noticed the white bear! Beautiful! And the stars... Lovely! And I agree... the shepherds brought the prawns and linguine. Makes sense to me. So incredibly lovely. I didn't have an opportunity to put up a tree this year. But with yours, I feel as though I have one. Thank you, thank you.... :)

  • @salishseaquest7952

    Love that Prawn! Like you, Kate, I have your porcelain stars hanging all over my house. Have enjoyed them this whole past year and have received compliments on them from everyone who sees them. All the best for you all for this Christmas -- you've added more smiles to my life with this video than you can even imagine.

    Well I just love it Kate. And I love that Prudence was the ever faithful inspector sitting there patiently making sure each ornament was put in it's proper place. Everything looks so unique and beautiful. The lovely quilt under the tree gives the perfect home spun look. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us, it is truly a pleasure to be a sub on your channel. Have a Blessed day.

    January 31 2024 Maryland USA: Although this years past I enjoy all the video’s no matter the season. Also the company of Anna. This gives ideas for those spaces that are a bit “off or strange” but needs cheering up also. You both together encourage your creativity that is so much fun to watch. I do believe both of you could talk the other into anything that is wonderful and fun. What a great relationship we are allowed to witness too. Keep those video’s coming because we need all the cheer we can get. Take care you two ladies.

    This video really had me giggling this morning. Thank you. 😂💕 x

  • @fernie5128
    @fernie5128 4 роки тому +4

    I thought I was safe when you called the prawn thing a prawn as I had just swallowed my tea in the nick of time.
    And then I spit out my tea, thank you Anna, when you said "Your house is permanently hung with Christmas decorations.". And I am still laughing.
    And the light next to the prawn makes it an undersea type of area as the light reminds me of those deep sea creatures that are lighted. And even though J walked on water perhaps his way was lighted by undersea creatures and he was led by prawns. OMG, I have officially lost my mind.
    I hope your tree was still in one piece...
    Actually I am just teasing about the light Kate, I have one that I hang on my deck in the Spring.
    You two need to go on the road and do standup! Hugs from Minnesota, Fern

    When our eldest son was little, we couldn't trust him with the tree, so my husband put an eye-bolt into the wall and fastened the trunk to it with fishing line. He's now 53. My son, not his dad! And I love your tree and the fun you're having with it!

    You girls are funny (a shepherd brought prawn linguini!)! You must have so much fun together! Love the shots of Prudence; she was thoroughly enjoying the proceedings. She’s thinking it’s all for her - Christmas is here! It’s beautiful! Soon you’ll be hanging ornaments handmade by little Agnes, and they will be precious.

    I could hear every word. You inspired me to make all homemade ornaments for the tree this year. My kids are older and have their own and wanted the satisfaction of basic and beautiful. Thank you. Back to once a week will be disappointing. Loved knowing there was one waiting for me every day. Thank you for that also. Babies first Christmas . . . the best excitement of all.

    Love the prawn. Very appropriate if you lived in Sydney where ‘ prawns on the barby’ are standard Christmas fair. This year too many fires are burning for people to be thinking of bbqs. It’s been soothing to watch your videos and have green and cool to watch instead of dry, hot, smokey and being on constant alert for the next fire to start. Christmas in Oz!

    You are a gem!
    Oh Kate ....
    how you've made me laugh at myself and somehow how this warm fuzzy feeling inside that everything is going to be okay.
    There's no monetary value that can be placed upon that.
    What a beautiful tree, home and family you have.
    Thank you for sharing it with the world. I'm sure when you put it out there you must have wondered...
    well,
    Wonder no more.
    It has reached one person deeply and brought them to tears ( in a cathartic and beautiful way).
    I can't imagine what an echoe it is creating.
    Merry Christmas and I so look forward to the next360 days of yor videos !!!!!

    And how I love the "Kate & Anna" show!! So heartwarming & a beautiful relationship shared by a mother in law & daughter in law.
    The jokes, laughter ,love & kindness. I literally watched it twice because I hated the afternoon spent with Kate, Anna, Prudence 🐈, the tree 🌲, ornaments & last but not least... the prawn 🦐 to end.
    Thanks for sharing this beautiful glimpse into Christmas with us.
