    Grand idea hanging the stockings with shower curtain hangers onto the garland onto the bannister's railing..
    Thank-you for sharing with us.. reviewed this part with my Granddaughter of 7 years who was questioning where everyone's stocking will go? I said I have an idea from your totorial.. so she watched and listened and said , do you have enough shower curtain hooks 🪝.. as we have 10 to hang..
    Thanks again for your gentle teaching of your stocking decorating.

    Beautiful home! Your decorations are gorgeous. We have a banister exactly like yours. I used to wrap the garland around the handrail, but after falling down every. single. stair one year....I will NEVER do that again! 🤕 I now put my garland up like you did. As for securing our stockings, we put medium/large cup hooks under the railing, in between the spindles. You can't see them, because they're hidden by the garland. Those hooks have held the heaviest stockings! When you remove them, they leave the tiniest hole, which isn't visible since it's under the banister. When Christmas is over, we put the cup hooks in a small baggie and tuck them into a stocking. That way, the hooks are stored with the stockings and we don't have to replace them every year. Love your videos! 🎄

    I love what you do, because it comes straight from your heart. That's the way decorating always should be -- not the latest "trends,"; not the latest "ooooo haaaaa!"; but decor, for whatever season, and for year round living, that speaks to our hearts and whispers "Yes, this is you, and others will love it." I love it, nothing more to say.

    This was so nice to watch. Loved the normal pace at which you filmed, instead of speeding everything up. I enjoy seeing shorter clips of real time. It felt like we were there with you, chatting and hanging out while the decorations were put out. I so look forward to all of your videos. Thanks for the time and effort you put into everything. It really shows, and to me you stand out amongst others with your unique, warm, genuine love for home, family, and decorating. I especially love how you share family anecdotes. Merry Christmas, Christopher!

    When l was little , we would have great fun in wrapping my father’s Christmas presents in strangely shaped boxes. He loved to pick up a box , shake it , then try to guess what his gift was , he was usually correct , UNTIL, we got wise and used the bigger ( or smaller ) boxes .
    Fun Christmas memories… now to put up my village !

    I discovered your videos this year and have enjoyed them so much. I have to say, you are so much like me in how I decorate, the treasures I love, your style, it is so comforting and it makes me smile. I decorate in a different theme each year in the formal parts of my house. It takes me at least a month to decorate. My wrap is always themed to match the formal tree. I wish I could have given you some of my gold and silver wrap, as I always have extra! One year I decorated in Scandinavian theme (I am Norwegian), one year Scottish (for my husband's roots) and this year I am using my daughter's collection of sweet treats. I have a large quantity of vintage ornaments, so they are always used in some way too. I also make beautiful wreaths from vintage ornaments. You inspire me with your creativity, calming spirit and lovely soul. Thank you! If I may make a suggestion for wrapping the large piece with the vintage hooks: make a round tube around it using poster board and then it will be easy to wrap! Good luck. I also love your pin on your collar.

    You've inspired me to bring out my Christmas village this year, after having it packed away for years! My kids are grown, and I tried to give them the village, but they don't want it! I talked my husband into putting up shelves over my lowboy (similar to your first Christmas village video). And Buffalo snow is the perfect finishing touch.

I didn't realize it at the time, but to them it wasn't christmas without the village! Who knew! I love your staircase!

    I cannot believe how much snow you have outside of your house. Where I live, it is 53 degrees, and has only gone done to 38 at night, sometimes that is. You have so many great decorations and its so enjoyable to see how other people decorate their homes for inspiration. Have you ever set a Christmas village outside in the snow itself?

    Instead of stockings, I will be adding Christmas cards to my bannister this year. Great video.

      It actually got up to the 50's today, but has already gotten down to only 3 degrees one night already! I usually just set the village up indoors because I don't think they would weather well outdoors. Christmas cards on the bannister sounds like a fun idea! :)
