    My grandmother always decorated her tree for Valentine's and then took down, which I loved:) I do that to this day. It has nothing to do with me taking forever to put Christmas away...

    Leslie, when I was a teenager my Gram taught me that if I lightly scorched rice, potatoes or crowder peas I could take the heal of a loaf of bread and place it on top of your potatoes or etc. listed above and remove the bread before serving. This helps take the scorched taste or smell away. It really is a great tip. Happy New Year to You & Your Family. Please Pray for our Country and Presidency of 2024. ❤

    Leslie, you could find a green tree or just a branch tree and put white lights on it and put some valentines decorations and the Easter stuff on it too or just leave lights on it . I think that would look good too instead of Christmas 🎄 tree .

    No!!!!! Leave it up and decorate it for rhe next holiday. You will have fun changing it out for the new holidays to come. And if an when you get tired of changing it you will just put it away. I just think it will be neat to change out every so often. The soup is one of our go to meals for the colder weather. Although we live in Florida and it's not been to soupy season yet. But yours made me want to fix a pot and by the way Leslie if you've never added cauliflower to your tater soup you should try it, so so good. Thanks for sharing. God bless. See you in the next one

    I have a home office and I purchased a 4.5' white pre-lit tree from Amazon. I change out the ornaments for each holiday. I am just getting ready to take down the ornaments for Christmas and put up my red, pink and silver heart ornaments. I use some tulle and wrap it around the bottom of the tree, changing colors for the holidays. I started it last year and now I have ornaments for every holiday. My red, white and blue stars stay up the longest. Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day. I love my tree and it leaves a little sparkle in my days! I hope you leave it up!! My ornaments were purchased on Amazon.

    I think honoring Christ’s birth at Christmas time with a decorated tree is very special and should be kept for that time of year. Decorate the mantle for other known observances - like Valentines Day, Memorial Day, Halloween. But - maybe keep that tree up with no ornaments until Easter to celebrate the Risen Christ. Keep the tree up for a couple weeks anfter that and then take it down until next Christmas. God bless.

    I really needed to hear this! Thank you so very much for sharing! I had a son first, but I was with child a second time two years after his birth! I didn’t know the gender of our baby either. However, in strong prayer, I kept leaning towards the name that we had picked out. I’m crying right along with you both! It brought me comfort because I’ve never gotten over the loss of my child. I take comfort in knowing that my child rests in the arms of the Lord! I do feel strongly that our baby was a girl. In my head, I named our daughter Ava Elisabeth! Should our baby been a boy, we decided on the name Michael Richard.

    Potato Soup is a tradition for us. We use leftove diced Christmas ham with sprinkle of chives on top. Your Yukon Gold spuds look amazing will make your soup with bacon soon.
    I would take your tree down aim for more spring season look.

    Shalom Leslie and Bryant! I haven't posted a comment in a minute. I have really enjoyed vlogmas,no matter what the subject matter has been. I agree to take the Christmas tree down, but would like some kind of lights kept lit for the seasons. What about some sort of twiggy tree that has either white or an earthy shade branches? Or a topiary tree? God bless from Southern California!

    If I had a tree that size, I would leave that thinner tree up and change the decorations according to the season. I always wanted to do that in my home. I too like the white lights on, especially during the winter months. I leave my Christmas tree up till late in February just to brighten up the house.

    I used to decorate for everything, every holiday when my children were small. Im 71 now, children grown. I've been a Christian for many years, so I really searched my heart and all about the holidays and most are pagan. Valentines and Halloween are 2 i don't care to decorate anymore. Jus'sayin. Not telling anyone what to do or think, this is my repentance. Love your videos ❤

And then I did Springtime Mother's Day my teenage daughter walked in the house and says Mom when are you taking the tree down it's starting to get Dusty? Hahaha but all the memories we had in so much fun decorating it for each holiday

    🌹Hey Leslie and Pastor Bryant, ...whenever you run out of things to give us just film some of the environment over there with the trees, etc. Not all of us see the beauty that you are daily accustomed to. N. Carolina at its finest! I'd be happy with that! Btw, today is my birthday. Been under attack for several months. (The worst). Life changing! Just got news today that GOD is good and now my future looks brighter! Right on my birthday of all days! Imagine that! Bless you folks for sharing with us your unusual and usual days! Love from Los Angeles.

    Tree down. Love the apple cider press. Christmas trees are more special when not used year round.
    I don’t like Valentine’s Day. My grandfather died on Feb. 14 then several years later my dad died on Feb. 13. Prior to that it was kinda a sad time for me because my EX was never affectionate, considerate or respectful of me. Was just another day, often filled with tears.

    I think you’ll get tired of year round Christmas tree. As the seasons change and life gets out of hand, you probably won’t want to be sweating and wearing shorts thinking about decorating the tree.
    Belated Christmas blessings to your whole family. May this new year bring abundant blessings and good health to everyone.

  • @sandyleonard1605
    @sandyleonard1605 10 місяців тому

    I think you should take the big Christmas tree down, it is gorgeous, but if you leave it up year-round, even decorated for the occasion it won’t be as special when you put it up at Christmas. What you might want to do is replace it with a small skinny tree maybe 2 to 3 feet tall and then decorate that for the season, i.e. purple and gold for Mardi Gras, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial day, etc. I think using a smaller tree it will be easier to decorate, easier to maintain, and more appreciated. Love what you got at hobby lobby and I wish you all a happy new year.

She can add to it anytime she finds a new recipe she wants to keep!! They had extra recipe cards and the plastic pages you could add in with pockets the cards fit in to anytime you want. Almost like a 3 ring binder notebook. It was such a special gift and she loved it! Super affordable too, even with the extras i got for it!

    Hi Leslie and Pastor Bryant! That potato soup and homemade rolls looked delicious! Levi and Judah were enjoying that meal, especially Judah lol I get so sad when it’s time to take our tree down. We have been known to leave it up until February lol The lights make me feel better in the winter, especially the bleak months of January and February. Last year we kept our outside lights up until March, because just seeing them outside my bedroom window helps me so much. If I had an artificial tree, I think we would keep it up and decorate for other holidays, or just at least keep the pretty lights on. I love you guys, God bless you all 🤗🙏❤️🎄

I have Angel’s, doves, stars, anything, to do with nature, some Love, joy, faith, & peace (small pillow type decorations.) on it. Some small churches, nativity scenes & snowmen. I call it my scripture tree. I really love it it is top with an angel. I never take it down and it stays lighted all year.

    I also love the lights at Christmas and enjoy the glow in the house. But I would take the tree down because it makes it special when you take it out at Christmas time instead why not add some bare branches with twinkle lights in a vase or a base that you createsthis is what I’m planning on doing. Hope this helps.

  • @brendagresham1271
    @brendagresham1271 10 місяців тому

    I thought about keeping one of my trees up all year, but I started thinking about how expensive that would be and how much time it would take to put together, and how much more storage I would need, I rejected that idea pretty quick. And you have a lot on your plate all the time, that would be something to consider. Plus, like you said, Christmas is just so special we want to keep all those special touches for that special event of the year. Your decorations are beautiful. In fact, I need to go to Hobby Lobby and buy some of those red and white beads. I do not think I have sent congratulations to Caroline. Your family is growing, so more wonderful moments to enjoy and get those special smooches and hugs. Congratulations Caroline, we are thrilled for you and family! ❤️
