I LOVE the Little Drummer Boy! It’s my favorite Christmas song ever! When I hear, “I have no gift to bring….that’s fit to give our king,” I literally burst into tears! Jesus got gold, precious perfumes, and other expensive gifts. But the gift of the little boy playing his drum makes Jesus SMILE. I can only hope that someday I will meet Jesus, and he will smile at me.
I can remember (as a young girl) my Father would go out Christmas Eve getting a real tree. He would wait until then because he would get it so cheap and that is all we could afford. Our decorations were the Christmas cards we received the year before. My siblings and I would cut the front of the card off the back and put them all around the house. We thought our house looked beautiful.
Crystal, I love Little Drummer Boy. I am a teacher, and every yr I play the old show from the 60's, and have to turn my head, as I cry. I tell myself to get real, but it always gives me tears. Haha I think Mary gave you a sign. Nativity on the piano for sure.
LOVE the Little Drummer Boy!!! I grew up watching the Special on TV and our 3 boys as well. Love the beautiful meaning behind it as well. P.S. I scored this year and found The Little Drummer Boy 2!😉
I've been watching you for years and your decorating gets better every year. I absolutely love how you decorated your dining room. The nativity scene is my absolute favorite.
Oh mygoodness I love it yes put the nativity on the piano. Jesus is the reason for the season. What a good reminder. I almost started to cry with you. God bless yall
Kathy Mattea….”Mary Did You Know”…,a true Christmas song ❤️ Bing Crosby/David Bowie “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy” collaboration is high on my favorites list. That sure is a beautiful tree! I added myself to Home Depot’s “notify me” list!!
Happy belated birthday Crystal. I've been watching for many years. Your a talented decorator. Your home is sooo beautiful. My least favorite Christmas song is Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer!!! Anyway... Luv decorating with you. Merry Christmas and luv and blessings to you and your family.🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
Absolutely beautiful! Yes! The Nativity needs to win out every time! I can't stand 12 Days of Christmas! Ugh! I do love Little Drummer Boy and Mary, Did You Know?
I love it all..but maybe just keep the vase and greens alone on your dining table. Simplicity is elegance.. I think it might look just right as you wait for the runner you ordered! Love the nativity and especially in black. It's perfection ❤
I can’t stand the Jackson Fives I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause! He sounds like he’s in pain screeching it out! I want to say, “Breathe! Breathe!” With that long note! 😂 I ended up order those red glass ornaments you influenced me to buy! Lol
I love the way you decorate your home. It's beautiful. And I know you love it because you put lots of thought to all you do and it shows! It's so homey and cozy comfy...happy thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family!
Love The Little Drummer Boy. It's a song of my childhood. I love vintage/older Christmas songs/music better than what's out now. The song I despise is Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You. 🙉. Also, créche is pronounced with the e sound as in beg or egg. 🙂
"All I want For Christmas Is You" and the very "famous" Epidemic Sound's "Christmas in my Heart." I refuse to play that one on my channel because everyone does. 😂
This was a fun one. Your tree turned out beautiful. It reminded me of watching you decorate the white shelving in your former dining area. It looked like you were having fun decorating your black cabinet and I love it. 😊
The dining room is beautiful! I love the black stable. The holy family stands out so nicely against the black. I also have the Willowtree set and I use a dark wood stable and I love the contrast.
I had a flocked tree on year......and never never again.lol.OMG you have a mug collection too! I have over 30 Santa mugs but Im stopping and vintage ones are so hard to find now!Your nativity is heavenly!
I love Little Drummer Boy but Carol of the Bells gives me anxiety! By the way my hubby grew up in Watertown so I tell him I’m watching our little Watertown girl!
Well, you nailed it if you were wanting your cabinet to seem kind of like a gift shop. I used to work in a gift shop and I was thinking your cabinet reminded me of that while I watched you decorate it. It's really pretty.
You helped me decide to put my Nativity set on my piano too! I love the Carrie Underwood version of Drummer Boy. Her 5-year old son sings with her & it is amazing!!! Love your Christmas decor! ❄️ 🎄
My least favorite Christmas song is by Paul McCartney “Wonderful Christmastime”. Like you, there’s something about it that grates on my nerves! The snow outside looks pretty but I did like our warm fall days better 😊.
❤ The dining halls are decked! Well done!!! 💪🏽 This was the first decorate with me video of yours this year that I actually did decorate with you! ❤ How fun!
Happy belated birthday. The house looks beautiful. My least favorite Christmas song is “Go Tell It on the Mountain”. Our organist plays it every year. I conveniently sit at the end of the pew so I can go to the restroom during that song. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
Oh Crystal, I agree with you about Little Drummer Boy. There are a few others too, and I just have to mute them….lol!! Your decorating has been wonderful. I love it all.
The way you decorated the cabinet was so so awesome, Crystal you get better with decorating every year. Pick up two flat ornaments to hang on the front of the baskets.
Your personality is just delightful and I love that you don't hide the reality of the clutter in the background. I always have my Christmas decor spread out everywhere. I don't mind the Little Drummer Boy, but my all time favorite is Do You Hear What I Hear ❤ I love your dining room btw, the nativity scent is my favorite part!!
Crystal I love ❤ your dining room decor and the Nativity is beautiful. The bows are,giving me ideas for my tree. You were responsible for me purchasing my first King of Christmas tree 3 years ago. I always used fresh Christmas trees with my children the picking out of the tree was our special time together. The mess of the tree shedding was too much for this 73 year old grandma, I really dislike Santa Baby and All I want for Christmas. I love the traditional songs.
Hi Crystal. Your trees are just so pretty. You definitely need the Nativity Set on your piano. What a beautiful sign you received from the song Mary did you know. Never. enough red at Christmas. So traditional. I am with you Little Drummer Boy is not one of my favorites for sure. Have you decorated your movie room in the Grinch style yet this year? Did i miss it? Your lunch looked very good. Your black cabinet looks so good. Love the vintage inspired decor in there and the gingerbread houses. I really like the bucket you removed. Your home is so cozy and welcoming. Just love your Nativity Set. Is it Willow Tree? It looks like it. The little angel is so sweet. Thanks so much for sharing another decorating day with us. Take care. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless You and Your Family ..
It turned out so beautiful. I think it’s the best ever in your new home. Your whole house is looking so so beautiful. I hope you and your family have a very happy Thanksgiving. God bless you all.❤❤❤❤
Crystal - Absolutely gorgeous. The nativity set is my favorite. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤P. S. Happy Birthday 🎂 my friend!
You have a knack for finding just the right item to sit next to each other! I really enjoy watching how you group things together, you are so thoughtful with your design. Thank you for your videos, keep them coming! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Aww I love it all ! I love how you packed the cabinet full of Christmas treasures it’s fun ! And I think painting the nativity scene was a good idea I love how it turned out . I think you home should be in a magazine for Christmas ❤ curious what’s next for your next video ?

Love your reply about the drummer boy amen
Our son hates "Santa Baby", so we turn it up every time, he does everything he cannot to hear it.🤣
The nativity is stunning!!! Love it!!

I love the little drummer boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.You could always dry brush cream over the black if you don't like it black
You really styled the cabinet so perfectly! ♥️🖤 🤍
Agreed about Little drummer boy except for the 1977 version with Bing Crosby and David Bowie that one was beautiful. You'll have to take a listen.
Thanks for sharing that story ❤
Absolutely beautiful! Yes! The Nativity needs to win out every time! I can't stand 12 Days of Christmas! Ugh! I do love Little Drummer Boy and Mary, Did You Know?
The black looks so much better than the blue.
I totally agree!!
I love it all..but maybe just keep the vase and greens alone on your dining table. Simplicity is elegance.. I think it might look just right as you wait for the runner you ordered! Love the nativity and especially in black. It's perfection ❤

Little drummer boy was my grammy's favorite Christmas song. Mine would be O Holy Night! God Bless you and your family during the holidays.
I love the decorating you did in your dining room! That is a stunning tree 🎄
