I found your channel when your “buying our first house in Chattanooga, TN” video was in my suggestions. I was tickled because I live in Hixson - about 10 to 15 minutes away from downtown. I have watched several videos and think y’all are adorable! Welcome to Chattanooga and Merry Christmas!
I’m in Cleveland! I thought it was cool too! I’ve only been here almost 2 years. Actually we were supposed to live in Chattanooga but when the company that hired my husband was looking for a bldg, they couldn’t find one that would work in Chattanooga... I think I’m glad..
Sara and Chris and Kramer. I find myself revisiting your Christmas tree post because it is uplifting and warm. Your attitude and charm make me feel so warm and happy inside. Thank you for sharing. See you in your next video. 😊
I had gotten tired of all the travel videos on UA-cam, so this is a wonderful change of pace. Your home is warm and perfect! You may find that traveling is for vacation and home is where the heart is ♥️
Do you think you could do a video on the different neighborhoods around the area? Best for families, best for hikers, hipsters, young couples, etc? My husband and I are looking for our new home base and Chattanooga is definitely a place we’re considering! ☺️
You will always remember your first Christmas tree in your first home. It ended up looking pretty good and the fun is in the memories. Oh next time try running the lights vertically, it is much easier and you can hide the wires by pushing them deeper into the tree. Tried it this year and I like how it looks. Merry Christmas.
This might not be the place to ask, but I just felt like I needed to ask... are you the same Maureen McDonald that went to elementary school with me @ SJS in Chattanooga? If so, its Hannah and I hope you are well.It has been so long ( 30+ years)!!!
I moved from Altoona Pa to Chattanooga Tn bck in 2011 . I've lived in 6 other cities 3 states and Chattanooga by far my favorite place. I have 3 children now and I'm here to stay and ride out this cities great atmosphere. I'm outdoors alot and love Downtown Chattanooga. I live in Hixson area which is a great place as well.
Merry Christmas Chris & Sara. Your Christmas tree is pretty... Don't feel so bad.. It's the first Christmas tree at your new house and many, many more to come :-). Take care and enjoy a unique 2020 holidays.
REAL TREE. Also.....start with lights at the top, move downward...that way the wires are closest to the electrical plug near the floor in the wall. My first year I made salt dough ornaments and painted them with enamel paint....Use the cookie cutters. Turn off the lights in the house....you will love the lights on the tree.
Our family friends get an ornament on every trip to a new place. There tree is all memories every year they get to relive. Yall can most certainly do the same... with your traveling it would be fun.
Real tree without a doubt. Makes your house smell so good. Your tree looked great once you got the lights & ornaments on it! I bought a Christmas ornament when I took my nieces on vacation every year while they were growing up. So much fun putting them on the tree because it brings back all those wonderful vacation memories when we’re decorating the tree. Hope you have a very Merry 1st Christmas in your new home!
How nice to see you guys settling in to your new home and city. Enjoy your Christmas and stay safe. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures in 2021...
As several have said already you'll never forget this one. Plus one on the memory ornaments. After 25 years our tree is nearly all those. Even the surley teenager waxes nostalgic when they're hung on the tree. Tip on finding ornaments, not every destination has ornaments, but almost all have keychains with bobbles that can be repurposed as an ornament.
When my kids were young we would buy a tree with the ball on it and plant it after Christmas. We planted 15 before we sold the house. It was made for good memories
I grew up with real trees in Seattle but the last 3 tree's no matter what we did they would not drink. I do not know when they were cut but after searching and getting yet another that was on it's last legs and got so dry I had to take it down BEFORE christmas, I got a small 4 footer fake tree from big lots then went over to the dollar store and purchased 10 pics with faux pine branches, berries and ornaments attached. After putting on the lights I stuffed the pics in the sparse areas and it filled it beautifully. I added a few small of my personal favorites ornaments on as well and sat it on our corner round antique dining table. It is the most beautiful tree I have had in a long time. Sold. Being in a wood A frame house, not having a fire hazard in the house has been wonderful, we use fresh pine boughs cut from our own tree outside and replace them when needed so they stay fresh and smell wonderful! :)
Real Tree for this Chattanoogan. Boy did they sell out fast this year. Congrats on your new home and perhaps we'll see you two around town. Merry Christmas
Always a real tree... I’ve had both, needles fall from both... LoL Ornaments- you’ll love finding the ornaments in a variety of shops in Chattanooga. We have so many artistic people here... it won’t be a problem finding them
Happened on to your channel & binging on it lol. I love watching young couples building life together ❤ BTW the way you get your cookies to look like the photo, is to add additional m&m onto the top of the cookie once placed on baking sheet. They stay on top of cookie as they bake.
Great video...I've lived in this area my whole life,47 yrs.I can remember the windows when I was a child.Sara,yalls tree is beautiful. We used to cut our own every year and let me tell ya,we had alot of jacked up trees..But u cant beat the smell of a real tree.Merry Christmas y'all. Welcome Home....
Motivated by variety, design, and simplicity, I lean towards artificial trees. I love seeing real trees when traveling or visiting other’s homes but try to keep things simple in my own home. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
If you like a tree for Christmas I would personally prefer one in a pot rather than a cut one. Then you can plant it somewhere afterwards. - Or use a tree in the garden or in a nearby forest and make it an outdoor adventure... covid save of course. Ah Batman... LOL... love it! Merry Christmas to Chattanooga! Have a lovely and great Christmas time and see you safe, healthy and sound back here soon. All the best from London, UK!
Used to be a real tree. Love the smell. But......over the last 20+ years in our house we have switched to fake. And....now we have one in almost every room for a total of 8. Plus one storage bin for each for ornaments. It's our "thing". Fake is no mess easy. Congrats on the house. And your tree looks great.
Your tree looks beautiful!!! We had real for the longest time until one real tree completely dried up and smelled awful (we weren't always the best at watering them either). Now we have had fake for 6 or 7 years and love it!!! Pre-lit is the way to go in my opinion.
Anybody remember Loveman's Department store? EPB took up the Christmas displays when they left downtown. The TREE IS NOT UGLY. LOL Channel All your Artistic skills. Ahh the foil trees with the rotating light lense red, green, blue, yellow. What a flashback...Merry Christmas!
Growing up we always had real trees. Where we lived, we had several tree farms where you would walk around and find your "perfect" tree and it would be cut down for you. After that, up until about 8 years ago, I would still buy real but now, I have a fake tree. So much easier. Like Chris mentioned, no cleaning up the needles. I don't have to keep up with the watering of the tree. Plus I like to set up my tree early and keep it up a few weeks after the New Year. Your Christmas tree was beautiful. I love your decorations.
Hope y’all have a great Merry Christmas! Sending you virtual hugs & hope to visit Chattanooga next year (thinking positive - safe travel will be possible at some point in 21!)
My mom always stocks up on her Christmas decorations the first week of January because everything is on sale. Just don’t wait too long or everything is picked over. It is always fun to decorate for Christmas because you forget what you bought 11 months prior.
OH my God I love the VW Van is my favorite !! Am a VW FAN !!! Guys Chattanooga Christmas is the BEST ONE IN THE U.S.A !!!! ENJOY IT !!! A BIG HUG FROM ENCHANTED ISLAND PUERTO RICO !!!
We had the same artificial tree for 24 years until my parents finally moved. I literally had to stuff broken “branches” in to hide the bare spots. Someday I’ll have a real tree, when I have my own family. You’ll remember that tree for years. Enjoy it. Merry Christmas!
Lol Kramer robot dog:) Love that candy lane ally. Perfect First Charlie Brown Christmas in your first home together ❤ Not skinny, perfect especially the burrito. Love the smell of real but the ease of pre lighted fake. Perfect ending. Merry Christmas you three:) Blessings, James and Kim
I think that Your Tree is absolutely adorable!!! Just like the two of you are!!!! 💖 Fake tree for me, prelit too. Then it’s Just the Fun of decorating it!!!!
Y’all should grab an ornament in each new town you visit! Those are the best as you can recall each memory from that place as you put ornaments on each year.
@@chrisandsara We moved from Chattanooga before thanksgiving, we miss it! We’ve moved to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg Tn area to pursue a dream here! You guys are doing amazing, we’ve binged all your old vids (as a whole fam) & are up to almost current with the new van Reno. Keep it up!!
@@Freakinphillips oh that’s so encouraging!! Thanks, y’all!! We love hearing families enjoy our videos. ☺️ not sure if y’all saw the national parks videos, but we just made that playlist live again. Long story short, it used to be illegal to film in the national parks but we didn’t know that when we filmed there. It recently became legal so we maybe those videos live again. Great smoky mountains national park is in there which might be fun for y’all since it’s near your new home. 😊
Another great video, you two! And I thought the tree was just FINE! (Better than some I’ve had in the past!) I’ve found nice ornaments for “firsts” at Walgreens. Neat Chattanooga Christmas tour. BTW your house looks SO cute-looking forward to a tour! Merry Christmas!🎄 for
Lol...love the Charlie Brown Christmas tree at the end so cute! Great video, thanks for sharing I'll have to visit Chattanooga maybe next Christmas because with Covid I'm staying close to home! I bet those cookies smelled really good, looks aren't everything! Lol Merry Christmas and make sure you give a Kramer some Christmas kisses and hugs from me hope you have a good one!🎉🎄🎊✌️💕
Definitely add Chattanooga to your list for next year! :) Hope you're having a merry Christmas close to home and getting some good rest and Christmas movie time in. :)
@@chrisandsara Thanks and yes I am, watching a lot of Christmas shows and chilling with all my fur babies🐾...Catch you after Christmas, hope you have a great Christmas in you're adorable new house..🏡🎄
My family moved to Chattanooga about 3 years ago. We live up in Harrison and love going over to Cleveland TN. It is wonderful over there, if you haven't been yet I recommend Bonlife Coffee Roasters. Hands down the best coffee in Tennessee!
I would like to give u one of the best advice while ur down town in Chattanooga especially make sure u carry hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes cause i saw u was at Miller park on on the swings and there's homeless people that haven't had a shower in days or months and people that are druk basically urine anywhere and on anything downtown so please carry sanitizer with you.
I got some really cool Christmas cards and ornaments and things from the Chattanooga Market, held on the weekends (this month in the Chattanooga Convention Center)!!!
That's right!! We completely forgot about the market even though several people recommended it! We need to try and make it down there before they close.
Hmmm....Is there a baby that might be making it's debut in 2021? Asking for a friend...lol Honestly, this was an adorable video. It's so wonderful seeing you both in your first home, getting your "first" tree, and decorating it with what you have (because it's not the best time to be hitting up the usual stores to purchase more ornaments right now). It's wonderful to see people happy and enjoying life's simple pleasures (and each other).
@@chrisandsara Ok, I guess it must be that "new house" glow that is making you guys beam from ear to ear? Whatever it is, it's lovely to see such happiness!
We cut down our own tree at a farm during a bad drought 2 or 3 years ago. We would walk in the house and hear the needles hitting the floor 🤣 we ended up having to get a new tree because it was literally the trunk and limbs within 2 weeks. Now we have an artificial tree and couldn't be happier 👍
I'm with Chris! Fake tree, pre-lit and rotating. My fiancé, Lee and I bought a 6 foot Christmas tree last year two days after Christmas with a lot of ornaments for under $100 at Walmart.
Your tree looked great after decorations were added. Choosing a main color and accent color for most of the ball ornaments bumps it up. Then fill in with your special/meaningful ornaments. I loved the NOEL sitting in there. Fake trees are easier, especially if pre-lit, but the needles fall out of them too, especially if you have to take it apart and store, then 'fluff' the branches every year. And you may think they are way too expensive. My experience is that if you ask friends (or us) you will get an idea of the size you need and the best to buy, and it will be expensive, even if you wait until the after Christmas sales (in which case you need to get it quick)! But your outlay will be worth it because real trees have gone way up. We used to buy a live tree to plant after Christmas. Not sure they do those anymore, and they were the most expensive then. If you want scent with a fake tree, find Thymes and get their best seller, Frasier Fir. They have the best scents of any candles I've ever tried. And they have sales after Christmas. They are not cheap, but worth what you spend. Your videos were on a recommended list for me and I have really enjoyed them. You guys are not exactly traditional (Ha) but you seem focused and exactly what you call your vids: Let's Be Us. You are unique, and in a wonderfully sweet way. Our youngest son and wife live in Raleigh and have been house hunting for over 2 years, having the same kind of 'luck' you had to begin with...exactly. They want to be in a specific range of area so they are close to all the things they like to walk to and go eat (yep, they are foodies too). Also living their life their way, very focused, very responsible, with my two dachshund grand dogs. Sorry; lengthy response. I'm following y'all!
I grew up with fake I love them you don’t have to worry about watering and I have it up from Nov 13 and I have to admit I still have my smaller one up(I have 2) but I change up the decorations
I love the batman ornament. We have wonder woman on our tree. We do artificial because I like to start decorating early and I can pull it out of the attic in October if I want.
I haven't been at hot chocolatier in awhile or at the choo choo. Didn't know they have European hot chocolate. Sounds good. Keep warm. They change it up at EPB. Enjoy it. You should see rock city christmas lights.
Give yourself a break ... welcome home to Chatt. Love a real tree 🌲 or a least real greens that smell good. Go to Target next year make your own or bake cookies to hang, string cranberries and popcorn. But after all it is the lChristmas lights that make the mood! Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks for watching! :)
Might see you around sometime since I moved to Chattanooga also 20 yrs ago....from Ny.
you need to do the incline railway
OMG thank you guys for visiting the hot chocolatier! I geeked when I saw myself and my coworkers in the video! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Take a slice of the tree trunk after Christmas and write the date on it and turn it into an ornament

Elizabeth Pigg i live in soddy!!
It's weird seeing a video made in my hometown...
I agree but it's refreshing seeing Chatt thru the eyes of someone who hasn't lived here there whole lives :)
I’m in Cleveland!
I thought it was cool too! I’ve only been here almost 2 years. Actually we were supposed to live in Chattanooga but when the company that hired my husband was looking for a bldg, they couldn’t find one that would work in Chattanooga... I think I’m glad..
Sara and Chris and Kramer. I find myself revisiting your Christmas tree post because it is uplifting and warm. Your attitude and charm make me feel so warm and happy inside. Thank you for sharing. See you in your next video. 😊

Oddly one of your best videos, it was just real I loved it
I see this as your tree found a home for Christmas because it needed a home. What a nice home it found for Christmas.
Do you think you could do a video on the different neighborhoods around the area? Best for families, best for hikers, hipsters, young couples, etc?
My husband and I are looking for our new home base and Chattanooga is definitely a place we’re considering! ☺️

Glad you guys are here been making videos down here for years
Nice to see more youtubers in the area
Chattanooga is such a beautiful place I have a lived there for four years
No question about it: real tree. Merry Christmas & please stay healthy.
Every tree is unique and beautiful
Your Christmas 🎄 is beautiful! Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

y'all just popped up on my home page! I'm in Ringgold, so welcome home!
I know this is weird and random, but how do you like living in Ringgold.? My husband and I are actually looking into moving there from Florida!!
The newer artificial ones are the best! You can get a pine scented candle. Merry Christmas you guys!
Now you can buy these sticks that you hang in the tree, that make it smell real!
Frank Lloyd Wright would cry
Our family friends get an ornament on every trip to a new place. There tree is all memories every year they get to relive. Yall can most certainly do the same... with your traveling it would be fun.
Not only is the Hot Choclatier amazing.. but the people who run it and work there are WONDERFUL too!
Agreed!! It’s a special place. ☺️

I like real trees that you can replant afterwards.
Thanks for the Christmas light tour through Chattanooga!🎄
That Charlie Brown tree is hysterical!
I agree trees are better when the ornaments remind you of past memories. My ornaments cover over 70 years of memories.
I just found your videos and am watching a lot of them and really enjoying them. Sounds like a nice life.
Merry Christmas! It’s all about the memories.
Real Tree for this Chattanoogan. Boy did they sell out fast this year. Congrats on your new home and perhaps we'll see you two around town. Merry Christmas
Yes! Thank you! Hope you to see around town as well!

We had Julie Darling Doughnuts yesterday! Yum!
My family moved to Chattanooga about 3 years ago. We live up in Harrison and love going over to Cleveland TN. It is wonderful over there, if you haven't been yet I recommend Bonlife Coffee Roasters. Hands down the best coffee in Tennessee!
I would like to give u one of the best advice while ur down town in Chattanooga especially make sure u carry hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes cause i saw u was at Miller park on on the swings and there's homeless people that haven't had a shower in days or months and people that are druk basically urine anywhere and on anything downtown so please carry sanitizer with you.
I like your tree!
If you are still making Chattanooga videos I would LOVE a hiking/outdoors video for what's in the area. Many trails seem to overlap and I'm confused!
thanks for another great show guys i only live about 15 to 20 minutes away from CHATT TOWN U S A GOD BLESS MERRY CHRIST MAS b safe
Merry Christmas!
I got some really cool Christmas cards and ornaments and things from the Chattanooga Market, held on the weekends (this month in the Chattanooga Convention Center)!!!
That's right!! We completely forgot about the market even though several people recommended it! We need to try and make it down there before they close.
Real all day! We have 5 real trees and all fresh garland
Real tree all the way. My daughter says her fake tree loses as many needles as a real tree does. Merry Christmas!
You have to go check out the house in Soddy Daisy and the houses in The Canyons every year. They do a huge Christmas show
Hmmm....Is there a baby that might be making it's debut in 2021? Asking for a friend...lol
Honestly, this was an adorable video. It's so wonderful seeing you both in your first home, getting your "first" tree, and decorating it with what you have (because it's not the best time to be hitting up the usual stores to purchase more ornaments right now).
It's wonderful to see people happy and enjoying life's simple pleasures (and each other).
haha no baby here! Merry Christmas though! :)
@@chrisandsara Ok, I guess it must be that "new house" glow that is making you guys beam from ear to ear? Whatever it is, it's lovely to see such happiness!
I love the tree
Merry Christmas to you both.
Merry Christmas to you, too! 🎄
We cut down our own tree at a farm during a bad drought 2 or 3 years ago. We would walk in the house and hear the needles hitting the floor 🤣 we ended up having to get a new tree because it was literally the trunk and limbs within 2 weeks. Now we have an artificial tree and couldn't be happier 👍
You will have to try out Kittle Christmas Tree Farm next year. I love your ornaments.
We love the tree
I'm with Chris! Fake tree, pre-lit and rotating. My fiancé, Lee and I bought a 6 foot Christmas tree last year two days after Christmas with a lot of ornaments for under $100 at Walmart.
Your tree looked great after decorations were added. Choosing a main color and accent color for most of the ball ornaments bumps it up. Then fill in with your special/meaningful ornaments. I loved the NOEL sitting in there. Fake trees are easier, especially if pre-lit, but the needles fall out of them too, especially if you have to take it apart and store, then 'fluff' the branches every year. And you may think they are way too expensive. My experience is that if you ask friends (or us) you will get an idea of the size you need and the best to buy, and it will be expensive, even if you wait until the after Christmas sales (in which case you need to get it quick)! But your outlay will be worth it because real trees have gone way up. We used to buy a live tree to plant after Christmas. Not sure they do those anymore, and they were the most expensive then. If you want scent with a fake tree, find Thymes and get their best seller, Frasier Fir. They have the best scents of any candles I've ever tried. And they have sales after Christmas. They are not cheap, but worth what you spend. Your videos were on a recommended list for me and I have really enjoyed them. You guys are not exactly traditional (Ha) but you seem focused and exactly what you call your vids: Let's Be Us. You are unique, and in a wonderfully sweet way. Our youngest son and wife live in Raleigh and have been house hunting for over 2 years, having the same kind of 'luck' you had to begin with...exactly. They want to be in a specific range of area so they are close to all the things they like to walk to and go eat (yep, they are foodies too). Also living their life their way, very focused, very responsible, with my two dachshund grand dogs. Sorry; lengthy response. I'm following y'all!
I grew up with fake I love them you don’t have to worry about watering and I have it up from Nov 13 and I have to admit I still have my smaller one up(I have 2) but I change up the decorations
I'm not sure if they're still doing tours of Chattanooga Whiskey with COVID and all, but it's a fun thing to do and right beside hot chocolatier.
I love the batman ornament. We have wonder woman on our tree. We do artificial because I like to start decorating early and I can pull it out of the attic in October if I want.
We've thought about going with a fake tree for that same reason! Sometimes 4 weeks with the tree just isn't enough!
So missing home. I'm going back in September.
Hi, way to put a look of panic in a husbands eyes - ask him what he thinks about how something looks😂😂😂.
Haha so true. - Andrew
Tree turned out beautiful...maybe get a bigger lit up star!
Ice on the Landing at the Choo Choo!
I haven't been at hot chocolatier in awhile or at the choo choo. Didn't know they have European hot chocolate. Sounds good. Keep warm. They change it up at EPB. Enjoy it. You should see rock city christmas lights.
We're hoping to get to visit Rock City this week! :)
@@chrisandsara a years vip pass is the best option and cheaper than paying for each entrance each time.
Give yourself a break ... welcome home to Chatt. Love a real tree 🌲 or a least real greens that smell good. Go to Target next year make your own or bake cookies to hang, string cranberries and popcorn. But after all it is the lChristmas lights that make the mood! Merry Christmas 🎄
I have been to Chattanooga it is a cute place.
