    I always went to my moms to help with the tree and decorating it was a special time we spent together. Now that she’s no longer here I really miss it but am so grateful for those precious memories!

    I don’t usually comment but I’d like to say thank you for your videos. They are so pleasant and fun to watch and I really appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge and talent on the subjects that you cover. You have a great channel, and everything from the content to your presentation and even the filming and production quality is all superb. I hope that you have a very happy holiday and many blessings and good fortune for the upcoming year.

    Thanks for having us over, Mom! This was fun! Your tree looks stunning! Shiny Brights are so classic. I hate to think about the ones that broke over the years. We grew up setting up a Christmas village with little houses from the 1940s that my mother and her dad used to set up long ago. The receipt picks with toppers are such a genius idea! Happy Holidays! 🎄

  • @marybeth4002
    @marybeth4002 Рік тому +1

    What a BRILLIANT idea - to store the item you have out year-round, and put it in the Christmas storage box during the holidays. That way when you take down the tree, the year-round item is readily available. Brilliant! Mom's story of putting the lights on the tree with her late husband is spot on. Ahhhh, memories. Love this segment as you spend time together and the story of your grandmother. So sweet

    Kaleb, what a special time for you and your mom. I love this video and the fun you two are having decorating, remembering and sharing your memories. It’s so rare today to see parents and children still doing things together and for one another. You are so very lucky to live across from your mom. I lived close to my mom after I was married and had a family and we were together almost daily. Thank you for this special video. Love your channel

    My Mom bought our first artificial tree when I was in 4th grade. I’m 62. They were just coming out. Each branch was color coded. She studied the decorated look of the tree photo on the box. Then she bought all the decorations that matched and garland. She put it all on layaway. She talked about it for the whole year with anticipation! Finally the day came. My brothers helped figure out how to assemble it. She spent days getting all the lights and decorations on it. When she was done it looked just like the photo on the box. It was truly beautiful!!! Then my oldest brother came home with his small children. My little nephew was just walking and that tree mystified him. Suddenly we heard a smash and crying. Everyone ran to the crash sight and toddlers screams and cries. There on the living room floor lay our Christmas tree over top my nephew age maybe 1 1/2 y/o. Almost all her favorite ornaments were broken!!! She cried!!! It was one of the last years she was able to ever decorate a tree again!! Boy was it beautiful!!! We did get fantastic photos before the crash!!!

    I love having family time decorating the tree. It’s special and a tradition and gets everyone in the Christmas spirit! However, it is often much easier to put it all together without so much “help”! 😉☺️😊 I tend to tweak for days... if not weeks and that is just accepted by all. 🤷🏻‍♀️😁🥰
    My mom has my grandparent’s pretty receipt spike from their old business. She still uses it to keep track of specific receipts. I have to say, I really LOVE them used for a finial collection! I may have to start a collection of my own... of both spikes and finials! 😍🥰😍

    So adorable. I love how you are so much like your mom. Collecting, decorating. My teen is at my moms helping her get her tree up fluffed & decorated. She also did our tree. Being in a wheelchair makes putting up a 7 foot tree basically impossible. She does a great job & her & my husband decorate it with the ornaments I pick out so it’s a family thing. We put in vintage Christmas music. Bing is our favorite & have fun getting into the holiday spirit. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄

    You have so many beautiful ornaments! You’re so fortunate to have family heirlooms, not everyone is lucky enough to have vintage ornaments like that. We only have three Shiny Brite ornaments from my husband’s maternal grandparents and nothing from our other grandparents. My parents lost most of their Christmas decorations in a house fire ten years ago so there probably won’t be much from them passed down. I do have those same coffee cups as you, given to me from a friend 🎁🎄
