Goodness.... I don't know one Aussie man that's even interested in the Christmas tree... except to say it looks great when it's up and decorated! The one exception would have been my Grandfather, who loved Christmas and did all the decorating including the tree, sadly he died when I was 5, while I don't remember him, I do remember the wonderful decorations. Big red and green paper balls and bells that opened out in a circle, then clipped together, the paper was like honeycomb in the different shapes... it was the 1950's. I've always decorated the tree and because I have collected so many baubles over the years it's a real production! 🎄🦘
Watching the Advent Calendar surprises is almost as much fun as watching the Christmas Vlogs themselves! Sharing with friends so that they can be inspired with their own Advent Calendars.
I saw Dachshund decorations on the Fortnum & Mason homepage and thought of Dexter and Dickens. It’s certainly heartwarming to see your love for these beautiful dogs.
My husband and I have been married 36 years and I’ve been the only person in our family to put up/decorate/take down our Christmas Tree for the past 30 years. I make it a festive process with Christmas music playing and lots of lovely tea! It’s nice that you two compromised and shared the tree decorating experience together. 🎄💕
Ohh - I have a door bell solution for you: but an old school bell or a hand-bell from an antique shop and mount it in the right hand side of your door where I can see it’s not symmetrical. It will balance the area up and make the asymmetry look deliberate. If you use a school hand-bell, you can get a mount for the wall and people can take it off, give it a good ring and replace it. My friend used to have one all year round. It was also used to call in children back to the house for lunch!! Lovely vlog by the way 😀
Hi Josie, I think it’s not just about the tree that often people disagree about. Especially now what the world has had to endure for so many months now, we feel we don’t have control over the situation and we want everything else to be ‘perfect ‘ since Christmas usually means being with family and friends . For many of us that’s not going to happen this holiday season.So we project our true feelings and pick on an inanimate object to have some ‘control’ . You are correct ; there are other things we need to worry about , but we know it’s not about the tree. As many of us followers have expressed, we cannot thank you and Charlie enough for letting us follow both of you (and Dickens and Dexter) on your journey as you started off in this beautiful home and all the new adventures you have discovered even with what has happened in the world this year. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Im loving to see you and charlie decorate your trees since im not able to have one this year due appartment being too small! With you two it feels like decorating one virtually♥️🎄
Whilst I do agree that the best ornaments should obviously be on the tree, I think it needs a colour. It probably looks much better in real life but on camera it just looks like lights. The doggie tree would look fuller if you added small plain opaque white baubles. The dogs would then stand out. I'm a perfectionist in things that I make but I don't obsess about Christmas. I don't believe in wanting everything to be perfect because nothing is. ❤️
Same here, been together for 19 years, hubby chops down the tree, places it into the tree stand, and I decorate everything! We are both very happy with this arrangement !
I have seen vlogs where she tells him no not doing that then he goes with the flow. I think that woman tend to see the womans side. Bickering takes two.
I think he is what in psychology is called a perfectionist, I'm struggling myself with perfectionism and sometimes it's hard to let things go differently than what your brain thinks IS the RIGHT and only acceptable solution...
I was about to put the same thing, LOL! My husband chops down the tree from our woods and halls it into the house and that’s about the extent of his Christmas decorating 😂
My English husband of 47 years, complained so much 11 years ago having to recut the bottom of the real tree off and fit it into a stand that I went to Home Depot and bought an artificial tree on sale and I've been using it ever since! Good and bad points about each kind...😐
My husband is a retired magician and I was his assistant. We did about 100 shows in December and always had arguments. I think being so busy and stressed and also holiday shopping and baking just frayed our nerves. Now that he is retired I realize we don’t argue anymore during the holidays.
I love your big door wreath!! It’s so sweet that Charlie gets you something everyday for your advent calendar present. I love that Phinella was on your bath 💖
I can safely say tree day is always a very smooth day of the year. Christmas shopping is more of an issue as my husband hates crowds...its been very easy this year! One positive! Xx
Spotted Phinella on your tub taps! We always have lots of grumbling setting up the tree but I am the fussy in when hanging the baubles. It is lively though when it is all done!
This year my wonderful husband put up and decorated the whole tree. He did quite well and I love it. You are going to enjoy your padded bike seat. I have one for my road bike and bike 30 + miles on weekends in the warmer weather. Oka has dachshund items available. I am making mince mini pies this weekend. No snow here yet in the N US....but cold!
Oh to die & come back as a cute little girl sausage dog with a pearl collar & a pink hair bow at Josie & Charlie's. Oh my gosh, those cream boots are gorgeous & I was expecting to see a $$$$ price tag & was shocked to see the affordable price. Sign me up! Hope Phinella enjoyed her bath! LOL Can't wait for tomorrow!
Phinella appeared twice in this Christmas vlogmas 1st by the sausage dog Christmas tree, then on the bath tub shelf. Love your beautiful trees, they look amazing. Love to you all. xxxxxx
There are such high expectations on Christmas tree day. We want it to feel like the movies all cozy and romantic. And when its not we are disappointed. We bicker too even though we always vow that we won't. 40 plus years! It is a lot of details to tend to so no wonder. I say lower the expectations and laugh about it. We are trying. Merry Christmas and what a lovely home and family!
Fennela is on the bathtub 🛁. You could use, as a temporary measure some of the nice baubles you took from the other tree - to fill out the doggie tree - then just add - dauchound ones when you find them. If you want to hang wreaths at the entrance area - you can use ribbon and hang over the wall weighted down with a log. For your front door you can use ribbon or a ‘door hanger - they make wide ones. Try Burford for the door hangers. Loved the new glass baubles. My partner never fiddles with the tree decorating - and I am moving baubles etc for a week until I am really happy.
Hello Josie, hearing you say it and seeing (when you were picking up your tree) you two bicker over how everything should be done about the Christmas tree and decorating it. I know how it felt for you, but please know that It happens with others, it happens in my family as well. Maybe because everyone wants it to look perfect for the Holidays :) Sending love to you and just so you know, I loved the three before and after and I find there are no wrong ways xo
Oh yeah “Tree day” is cursed for us too... we always bicker!!!!! Edit: Josie what about over the door hooks for the wreaths? Edit2: Fenella!!!!!!! On the bathtub!!!!!!!! oOMG
The tree is my hubby's job ! He takes it very seriously and loves decorating it every year .... I am so in love with those precious little boys give them a kiss and cuddle from 🇦🇺🎄
WOW! I am thrilled to see that beauty of a pearl sweater (the first one) from RI sailing on to the screen! What I find interesting is that I checked the website and you do NOT dry clean - you toss it in your home machine! It's vibrant, that sweater - and it would transform any thing else you're wearing below it, also.
Hi Josie another fabulous vlog Phinella was sitting on the bath rack in your ensuiite, in Master bedroom. My husband used to decorate the Christmas tree because he wanted to. I didn't like it because he had so much on the tree. I have been doing it now for a few years and loving it. I love watching what Charlie has for you, it's always so thoughtful. That jumper with the pearls is gorgeous. Lovely cosy ending with Charlie and your 2 doggies. Thanks so much for sharing. 💜💙🐶🐶
Hello Josie! Love those cuddles with the dogs! Must check out River Island. Love that cardigan! Both trees look fantastic! In fact the whole house looks lovely and festive. Well done on the D.I.Y. wreath! Agree with other comments: over the door hook for the big wreath. Charlie is so creative with the Advent Calendar gifts! Would love it if there were Pastavangelist (?) where I live! As always, a lovely vlog!
We actually got engaged on tree day back in 2017, so even though we get a tree on a different day every year, the event itself is special to us so we just spend the day super in love 🥰
Re “Christmas Bickering”... I almost gave my hubby a heart attack when he found out that I’ve only gone and bought yet another horse as my Christmas present to myself lol 😂
I’m currently in my final year of uni and i’m loving your vlogs as a distraction from the stress! My cat was also put down today (and I couldn’t be there) and seeing you with Dexie and Dickens is so lovely and warms my heart right now❤️
I’ve been very happily married for 21 years and I can totally understand the bickering putting the tree and decorations up . I’m a Charlie and can relate to the perfection traits where my hubby is completely laid back 🙈. Your definitely not alone X
Your outdoor lights on your walls at the driveway entrance would hold ribbon wrapped in a huge loop to attach big wreaths. Like a necklace when it's hanging on your neck.
Thanks for the warning (I was actually scrolling through comments to see if anyone else suggested an over-the-door wreath hanger www.amazon.com/RND-Over-Door-Wreath-Hook/dp/B07SKKSS6C/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAq8f-BRBtEiwAGr3DgfKAKLklWtipweeo329J6Cu2n78e7xZwZ3iNnL6Xq6ovKNqpkCI9RBoCWEIQAvD_BwE&hvadid=241587598469&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9008316&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15199516894043567332&hvtargid=kwd-19299752819&hydadcr=15284_10335012&keywords=over-the-door+wreath+hanger&qid=1607635984&sr=8-2-spons&tag=googhydr-20&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyVDVGRkRMV1dHQ0RKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODgyNDUzMjlMVENZVktMQUFGWiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzAyNDczMk4xU0g1N0czQTcxRyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=) I find Charlie a know-it-all type who feels he has to strut b/c of HER success and so I skipped over most of this.
Loved the tree bickering scenario! Don’t have that issue (my husband is more of a grinch). Wait until you have kids! I’m completely OCD, and letting my daughter decorate the tree her way is not easy for me. Can’t wait to see how Charlie copes with that! Love your Vlogmas Josie. I am currently binge watching it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Josie, I look forward to your videos every day and enjoy watching you and Charlie getting ready for Christmas 🎄 Charlie has done an amazing job on your birthday gifts. Such fun 🤩
We call it constructive conversation instead of bickering! as long as a compromise is made and we can make both of us happy (and the kitties and horses) we always embrace those discussions. Looked the Phinella was going to take some swimming lessons.
Tree day is usually a trigger for a minor spat. Mostly, it involves getting the tree straight in its stand while one of us (not me) is covered with pine needles and scratches from being under the tree. Your home looks so beautiful all dressed up for Christmas.
Yep! totally normal... my husband wants everything to be perfect with the tree 🙄 lights are normally an issue. 🤷♀️🎄 nothing a glass of Prosecco and a take away can’t solve afterwards 😂.
Wait until you have kids and they want to put all of their school crap all over the tree 🤣 then you will definitely all argue. That scene in a bad moms Christmas when her kids do the tree and KiKi smiles and does a full 180 of the tree....yep that's me every year!!
So beautiful! I saw Phinella is loving the camera lately, first she appears to be loving the "Sausage Dog" tree from the hearth. And secondly waiting to have a cozy bath on a chilly December night! Charlie is hitting all the marks on your Advent Calendar this year! Yay! Charlie!
Your corridor near the stairs where your lanterns are on the ground, would be a perfect place for a big Christmas tree. Love the sweaters! Hard to find affordable ones in the states. I can't afford the prices you all pay so I go looking for similar styles at facilities that I can afford. Thank you.
I hope you and Charlie and the boys have a lovely Christmas and New Year after all the vlogging you've done this year. I personally had a terrific Summer watching all the removal and settling in to your new home and that fabulous garden, so a big thanks for that from me🎄🎅🐕🐕👌👌👌
Love your Christmas wreath for the front door! Here in the US we use “door hangers” for our wreaths....they are hooks that hook over the top of the door and hangs down the front of the door with a hook on the end for your wreath! No nails no damage to your door at all....Amazon? 💁🏻♀️
Hi Josie, my hubby tends to let me just get on with Christmas stuff/decor, but later on he will observe the odd thing and make a polite suggestion to change it! Which then plays on my mind and end up doing it! He doesn’t like candles near foliage which is sensible. Got in touch with The Indian Guy company and they were quick to reply...they deliver to Cornwall! So thrilled! Can’t wait to try their delicious food. Love the new wreath in the kitchen, absolutely love the Dalesford wreath it’s gorgeous. The tree looks better! I think a real tree would be fabulous and one a little bigger. It does take time to work out what and where in a home. Another delightful vlog thank you. 🦋
I love your blogs. I look forward to seeing them and yes, I love Charlie and listening to his banter, he is great! Phillina the pheasant (spelling?) is by the sausage dog tree. Love you. X
That crafty pheasant is on the bathtub ❤ Anywho, go onto Amazon and search wreath hangers for the front door, we use them in Canada, it won't ruin the door ❤🍁
I really am loving your vlogs, super festive and fun! Finding Phinella is on the bath when you are doing your makeup before your soho Sunday roast. 🎄✨🎁

I can’t believe how well you get on. The odd tree day doesn’t matter. ❤️🎄
I can't get over how festive the house is looking!!
Dexter and Dickens look so huggable! What a nice cozy way to end the day!
I think plaid ribbons on the sausage dog tree will make a beautiful addition without messing up the theme :)
Good idea.

Josie Your hard work is truly… UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Thank you ❤️
you two are by far my favorite UK influencer couple. you just seem the most genuine and down to earth. happy holidays!
I use a long ribbon and attach it to wreaths on each end, loop it over the top of the door. This way you have wreaths on both sides of the door.
Im loving to see you and charlie decorate your trees since im not able to have one this year due appartment being too small! With you two it feels like decorating one virtually♥️🎄
All the wreaths are lovely! I think the tree bickering is amusing. Charlie has done a wonderful job on the advent calendar gifts and clues again!
The snug room is beautiful: the color of the walls ! the sofa ! and the yellow gold cushions ! Fantastic !
I love how you started and ended the video together as a family, so adorable!

No no bickering here. Married 39 yrs,hubby let's me do all the decorating everywhere everyday always. He is a VERY smart man!!!
They learn as they go🤭🤭🤭
Lol same here xx
Same here, been together for 19 years, hubby chops down the tree, places it into the tree stand, and I decorate everything! We are both very happy with this arrangement !
Very!
You are so unbelievably lucky to live in such a beautiful house and your not even age 30 wish I came from
Rich family
Getting your thoughtful gifts every day is so sweet!
Charlie seems to be happy if he is getting his own way

@@Juliottif I can totally relate . It’s not an easy thing to live with . I am better than I use to be but it’s not easy for everyone involved X
What’s the expression - do you need to be right or happy ?❤️
My partner couldn't care less about our Christmas tree. I'd be really concerned if he noticed our new baubles 😂😂
I was about to put the same thing, LOL! My husband chops down the tree from our woods and halls it into the house and that’s about the extent of his Christmas decorating 😂
@@Girl-co6dd and I can imagine the pride showing on his face while doing that :DD

And another pheasant!!! Hallway plus bathroom!!!
You guys will make the loveliest most caring charming kindest parents ❤️

Charlie’s so incredibly thoughtful and I like how he did the advent calendar making it into an adventure! xx ❤️🎄
My husband just brings all of the Christmas bins and the trees up from the basement and let me decorate because I’m the decorator lol🤗
I love your big door wreath!! It’s so sweet that Charlie gets you something everyday for your advent calendar present. I love that Phinella was on your bath 💖
You've been looking so cozy lately! Charlie's an angel for all that work on the calendar! I posted this to facebook!
The knitwear haul is so glamorous, the gilet, the pearl embellished top, the diamante pearl cardigan, gosh I love everything!
I can safely say tree day is always a very smooth day of the year. Christmas shopping is more of an issue as my husband hates crowds...its been very easy this year! One positive! Xx
Spotted Phinella on your tub taps! We always have lots of grumbling setting up the tree but I am the fussy in when hanging the baubles. It is lively though when it is all done!
The wreath over the stove is wonderful it looks
cozy.
Bringing logs home is my childhood memory ;) This white gilet looks amazing, you just need some snow for a beautiful photo❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
This year my wonderful husband put up and decorated the whole tree. He did quite well and I love it. You are going to enjoy your padded bike seat. I have one for my road bike and bike 30 + miles on weekends in the warmer weather. Oka has dachshund items available. I am making mince mini pies this weekend. No snow here yet in the N US....but cold!
Oh to die & come back as a cute little girl sausage dog with a pearl collar & a pink hair bow at Josie & Charlie's.

Love the wreaths! And your tree decorations...and your vlogs. Makes me excited for Christmas 😍 xxx
Oh yeah “Tree day” is cursed for us too... we always bicker!!!!!
Edit: Josie what about over the door hooks for the wreaths?
Edit2: Fenella!!!!!!! On the bathtub!!!!!!!! oOMG

Phinella on the bathtub when you were refreshing your makeup! (And that CT eyeliner looked amazing)
You can get metal over the door hangers, made for this exactly and they can carry any weight

Your outdoor lights on your walls at the driveway entrance would hold ribbon wrapped in a huge loop to attach big wreaths. Like a necklace when it's hanging on your neck.
What’s that mysterious sound at the opening? Puppy smooches! 😆 Dickens looks shy like “mummy turn that camera away!”
Thank you for your wonderful videos Josie. They bring me such joy! Love from Texas
The tree looked perfect at the beginning. Can’t understand why you could not just add the others to it
Josie, your pearl jumper is so dreamy. You look like an angel in it. 💕
OMG (sorry Charlie) but he was even getting on my nerves with the whole “tree issue” 😂😂 good job it’s only once a year 😁
Now he redid the tree. 😂 I think her feelings were hurt, but I do think Charlie has a good eye for decor.

We call it constructive conversation instead of bickering! as long as a compromise is made and we can make both of us happy (and the kitties and horses) we always embrace those discussions.
Looked the Phinella was going to take some swimming lessons.
How cute is the sausage dog Christmas tree, love it!! Phinella is sitting in the hearth next to it😇🐕🐕🌲
Tree day is usually a trigger for a minor spat. Mostly, it involves getting the tree straight in its stand while one of us (not me) is covered with pine needles and scratches from being under the tree. Your home looks so beautiful all dressed up for Christmas.
Yep! totally normal... my husband wants everything to be perfect with the tree 🙄 lights are normally an issue. 🤷♀️🎄 nothing a glass of Prosecco and a take away can’t solve afterwards 😂.
Josie can you pleeeeeaaaaasee do a top 10 things you most wear this winter season? Enjoying every day of vlogmas!
Wait until you have kids and they want to put all of their school crap all over the tree 🤣 then you will definitely all argue.
That scene in a bad moms Christmas when her kids do the tree and KiKi smiles and does a full 180 of the tree....yep that's me every year!!
I love your sausage dog socks!! Your house is so beautiful!!!! I love everything about your style !!!
Phinella was on the hearth in the entrance hall. Such a cute idea. Lots of lovey trees and decorations. 🎄
I love your little Christmas helper Dexter, he's being extra cute in today's vlog. Hello to Dickie too ❤️
So beautiful! I saw Phinella is loving the camera lately, first she appears to be loving the "Sausage Dog" tree from the hearth. And secondly waiting to have a cozy bath on a chilly December night! Charlie is hitting all the marks on your Advent Calendar this year! Yay! Charlie!
The big wreath is gorgeous!!
The intro is so calming and beautiful ❤️ Josie, I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work, your Vlogmas brings so much joy!! 🎄💫⭐️❤️😍
I agree. I love your videos!
@@carpediem2236 Absolutely!! Josie is wonderful!!
Thank you!!
@@JosieIrons Oh you’re welcome 😘❤️
Your corridor near the stairs where your lanterns are on the ground, would be a perfect place for a big Christmas tree. Love the sweaters! Hard to find affordable ones in the states. I can't afford the prices you all pay so I go looking for similar styles at facilities that I can afford. Thank you.
My husband puts the trees up and leaves the decorating to me.💖🇨🇦
I hope you and Charlie and the boys have a lovely Christmas and New Year after all the vlogging you've done this year. I personally had a terrific Summer watching all the removal and settling in to your new home and that fabulous garden, so a big thanks for that from me🎄🎅🐕🐕👌👌👌
Love your Christmas wreath for the front door! Here in the US we use “door hangers” for our wreaths....they are hooks that hook over the top of the door and hangs down the front of the door with a hook on the end for your wreath! No nails no damage to your door at all....Amazon? 💁🏻♀️
I spotted the Phinella front of the fireplace near the xmas tree with all your sausage dogs.🎄🤞🏻
Hi Josie, my hubby tends to let me just get on with Christmas stuff/decor, but later on he will observe the odd thing and make a polite suggestion to change it! Which then plays on my mind and end up doing it!
He doesn’t like candles near foliage which is sensible. Got in touch with The Indian Guy company and they were quick to reply...they deliver to Cornwall! So thrilled! Can’t wait to try their delicious food. Love the new wreath in the kitchen, absolutely love the Dalesford wreath it’s gorgeous. The tree looks better! I think a real tree would be fabulous and one a little bigger. It does take time to work out what and where in a home. Another delightful vlog thank you. 🦋
I love your blogs. I look forward to seeing them and yes, I love Charlie and listening to his banter, he is great! Phillina the pheasant (spelling?) is by the sausage dog tree. Love you. X
That crafty pheasant is on the bathtub ❤
Anywho, go onto Amazon and search wreath hangers for the front door, we use them in Canada, it won't ruin the door ❤🍁
The best thing about 9am, these vlogs.
Saw Phinella.
Loving the music choices! Bathtub Phinella .
I really am loving your vlogs, super festive and fun! Finding Phinella is on the bath when you are doing your makeup before your soho Sunday roast. 🎄✨🎁
Thanks for compartir su vida diaria🙋🏻💐
100% we argue when decorating the Xmas tree: )
Oh my! Yes bickering is always added to Christmas. But it seems to always work out.
