I always had more elegant tastes than my environments dictated I “should” have. But I have found myself lately more and more starting to invest in those tastes to create the kind of environment and life I want, so I admire you greatly and thank you for sharing with us! It gives me encouragement to follow my own heart.
Good for you, Winter! One's environment should never dictate who we are, our tastes, or our outlook. You just be your elegant self and build your life to match and be happy!⚘️
I’m very similar I’m working very hard on myself to bring about a living environment that suits me for me as it’s just me for the foreseeable so I’m here alone which means I need to be happy in my own life and home
How unexpected this channel is, soothing and lovely. It is a reminder of how far my life has moved away from elegance. I appreciate the reminder that elegance is a mindset. For me, it involves the luxury of moving slowly. 🕊
I remember as a child walking home from school. Getting so excited to see the Tree in the window against the wet windows. It made the lights sparkle. We did not have central heating. I can still remember the excitement I felt even now as I write this x
My husband always cuts the tree , I love a tree filled with memories, decorations that have been passed down and some we collect on our travels, some made by the children and grandchildren. I like the traditional Christmas decor and lots of winter greens from outside. X
Bonjour Nicolas, j'ai un arbre Balsam hill depuis 3 ans et je trouve que la qualité est excellente si on compare avec d'autres arbres qui font très plastique. J'écris en français car j'ai cru comprendre que vous appreniez le français actuellement. Je vous suis depuis environ 2 ans maintenant et vous êtes une vraie source d'inspiration. I write in french because it seems that you are learning french so.... This Caledonian hotel seems wonderful and I am going to suggest it to my husband for our birthday wedding ! Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année ! Chris. from Paris
The tree looks beautiful! My family decorated the tree on December 7, which was our mother's birthday. She would have frozen the leftover turkey and made turkey soup as my brother and I decorated the tree! The aromas were wonderful and the soup made a perfect and comforting lunch after all our decorating on a cold winter day here in Chicago.
I lived in Chicago for 14 years and it is my favorite city...especially at Christmas. I hope you are of the age when you remember Marshall Field's. So sad it is now just Macy's. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
@@teresahalliday3680 Yes, I remember Marshall Fields and have wonderful memories going there as a child to see the window displays and the beautiful tree in The Walnut Room. Chicago is indeed a beautiful city, but even more so and magical at Christmas! Thank you for your nice comments and Happy Holidays to you!
The tree looks stunning - and adding some of the old red decorations were the right way to go - love the baskets at the bottom of the tree too. My parents ALWAYS put the tree up the Saturday before Christmas Eve - I loved it. Plus my mother and I used to go to lunch at Harrods on the 1st day of December and I was allowed to pick a beautiful bauble each year. Mum also had a beautiful set of 6 Waterford Crystal baubles - that I now have on my tree ❤
I smiled when, after putting up the beautiful ornaments you bought this year, the red ones turned up. I saw myself in the story. So I'll share my funny story. So when I was a kid, we always had a real, classic Christmas tree with red and gold ornaments. When I got older, I asked my mom why we didn't try other colors? She said it was because to her, those colours are the colours of Christmas, and when I have my own home, I can have any tree I want. The first year I moved, I bought blue and silver ornaments just before Christmas to prove to her that there is life beyond gold and red. My tree was beautiful, perfect, elegant and terribly cold. It was like an ice queen. But of course I couldn't admit to myself that I didn't want it and I miss the warm atmosphere, the shiny, classic colours. The following year I found myself hunting for red and gold ornaments in every shop during the festive season. That's when I realized that the family tradition was so burned into me that it was pointless to defy it. Every year from then on, I would have beautiful red and gold glass ornaments on my tree, and my mom would just smile gently when she saw my tree wrapped in the family classics. :)
Another beautiful and luxurious video. Thank you!! You’ve motivated me to decorate a Christmas tree this year - even though it is likely no one will see it but me…. But you’ve made me realize that’s the most important person (me)!! Happy Holidays!!
One of my favorite memories from the 1960s when I was a little kid - we had an aluminum tree with a light that rotated and shined different colors on the thee. I loved laying under the tree and watching all the colors reflect off the aluminum. It looked magical.
Your tree turned out lovely and your table as well. The hotel; enchanting! Hope all is well...when someone says don't worry, I hear, WORRY! Many blessings...
Balsam Hill is the best of the best. It will be with you for a very, very long time. The tree is gorgeous on its own and even more elegant with your decorations. I love to sit with a cup of tea in the evening with all the lights off except the tree, soft Christmas music drifting in the background. The red was needed, perfect touch. As a child I felt it was my duty to rearrange at least one tree ornament a day.
We don't have a tree because we have a cottage so there's not enough space, so I use garlands on the fireplace and top of the dresser and decorate them with traditional decorations and ribbons. Will you get a 'skirt ' for the bottom of your tree? which is looking fantastic. 😊🌲⛄
Your tree turned out lovely! I especially love the red roses you added. I smiled when you said you’re the kind of person who analyzes every bauble and keeps removing and putting them back on. I’m the exact same way! I also enjoyed hearing how you decorated the tree growing up with your family. As a mother to young children now, I fight my inner perfectionist and try my best to allow my children to decorate the tree how they like. They feel so proud of their work when it’s all done, and honestly I find it more charming. Sometimes it’s messy, but sometimes they have really great ideas I wouldn’t have thought of! :) It’s sweet hearing your memories of your own parents not being “too precious” about it. I hope to give my children those same happy memories.
Oh - your tree is absolutely gorgeous!!! I did enjoy watching you decorate your new tree. One of the things I remember from my childhood at Christmas was that my mom would give my brother and me a decorated basket filled with oranges, apples, walnuts, pecans and a few chocolate candies and a small gift. I suppose it was in place of stockings. I will always remember this!
У нас тоже есть большая корзина ввиде саней, и каждый год ночью я наполняю её конфетами и другими сладостями для детей и ставлю под ёлку. Ну и подарки конечно тоже кладем.
These trees are truly beautiful, mine is in its seventh year and is still as beautiful as the first time I saw it. Well worth the investment. Beautiful Nicholas, colour is perfect for your room.
Oh what a beautiful way to start off the Christmas season: (w/ one of your perfect videos!😉) 1. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree 2. A beautifully set Christmas table And last but not least… 3. A stay at a beautiful luxury hotel What more could any of us ask? 🎄❤️🎄
I agree adding the red brings a pop of color. I love red and it makes the tree more traditional. Also that Christmas table can also go for thanksgiving table that doesn’t overdo it with pumpkins but rather the understated elegant earthy look.
Thank you, Nicolas, for sharing this beautiful moment. It is gorgeous and so uplifting! When I was young, my parents struggled a little bit, and I remember our Christmas tree was always a little bit thin and the ornaments unremarkable. The joy in my house was no less, and even though the trees were very modest, we were always happy. I always wanted a "perfect tree". In my twenties I vowed to build a glorious ornament collection to pass down to my children one day so I started collecting them, with one really nice once a year. I built a beautiful collection of ornaments and they have run with it. Now that they are grown, I do something different. I dig out old photos from when they were little children, often making funny faces, and general sibling shenanigans. A store here in the States has these lovely little photo frame ornaments with the year 2022 on a little dangling charm hanging off of it. Very pretty & elegant...and in goes the goofy childhood pictures. The memories are precious and they are packaged up perfectly for the tree. My grown children love them and we are greatly enjoying this new tradition!
That hotel was mind blowing! All because it leaned on the glorious old fashioned details. " New and Modern" has its place, yes. But in this case, it's all about grace, charm, warmth, coziness, tradition and being comfy. It's a loving hug in hotel form!
I love your style Nicholas....you have class and taste and are so dignified with a calm and gentle spirit....all good qualities.Your tree looks beautiful as does your table.I am putting afternoon tea at the Caledonian on my bucket list ..looks amazing !
Nicolas, your tree looks really beautiful and the hotel suite was amazing. Lucky you. I agree that gloves are the way to go when fluffing up a Christmas tree. Last year I fluffed up my tree without gloves, the next morning I noticed that the diamond was missing from my engagement ring! 😱 I searched high and low for the diamond, vacuumed every rug, my husband removed the U-bends under every sink in the house to no avail. The whole of December I kept wondering if the diamond was in the tree 🤔 On 1 January I couldn’t bear it any longer, I just had to look for the diamond in the tree so I took all the decorations off and shook the tree like a mad woman. I nearly gave up. I gave it one more massive shake and there it was!! The diamond…it fell onto the floor!! 🥳💍 I was so happy and it was a great start to the New Year! 👌🏼
Children. There's nothing more magical than decorating a stunning, sumptuous, extravagantly decorated tree, then bringing in the wee ones. The looks on their cherubim faces, the little mouths opened in awe, then seeing them sit down in front of the tree and looking up in wonder - pointing out this bauble, and that glittering, sparkling something - is pure joy. Add some wondrous Christmas carols, Christmas cookies with hot cocoa, and there are few more perfect moments in life.
There are 2 trees in our home. A white one with all gold ornaments from our travels and life events adorns our living room. In addition, it spins! A green tree is in our family room and is dedicated to our children. The tree is surrounded by a train and animated Christmas figures on a snow scene. This has been tradition in our home, since our children were very little.
The roses on the tree were the perfect touch, I will do the same on mine, I loved it so much. I love the crystal bauble on your napkin rings very elegant
Your new tree looks so well made and how nice that they even included storage bags - better than the old sheets I wrap mine in :). I am glad you added the pops of red along with your new gold baubles. I have a faux tree that has branches that are a mix of types of evergreens so I have to wire each bauble to the tree and while that sounds painful, it really is quite simple and at least there is no worry about one falling. I also make sure to put some of the larger baubles and picks further into the inside of the tree, which draws the eye into the branches. Picks are the best time savers and space fillers because you can literally shove them in like you have done with the roses. Your table looks lovely and very warm even before you add flowers. Can't wait to see it finished.
Lovely Christmas tree and the red accent makes it perfect. Christmas time is just so kind to the soul, my favorite holiday. This year i put my Christmas tree at November 11, a holiday here in Belgium remembering the first WW. Enjoy the Season to the best Nicholas and dearest.
Enjoyed this so much. I purchased a Balsam Hill tree last year and it is a wow. None of us liked putting on the lights so this was an easy yes. I loved your fabulous decorations and think it looks stunning. Your table is magnificent. I enjoyed your music also. Wonderful video. Many thanks.
I have done a red and gold tree many years. As well as a white and gold and a blue and gold tree. Yours is very lovely And your table setting is festive and very flexible for other occasions. I definitely want to come stay in that hotel suite. It's the bomb. Nice festive jammie bottoms too.
Your faux blue spruce is beautiful and the decorations are perfect! Anyone lucky enough to be your dinner guest will be pleasantly surprised and very pleased with your festive table scape. The hotel suite was magnificent, they thought of everything. Thank you Nicolas🎄🙏🏻❤️
Loved decorating the tree as a child. My mum used to tweak it, after we'd gone to bed but I don't think we ever realised. That was a confession of hers as we grew up!
Nicholas your tree is gorgeous and I am so glad you added the red and some of your special older decorations. Your niece is going to be so happy to see your tree. I wish I could purchase one of the Balsam Trees but a bit too expensive for my pocketbook. I used to love a fresh tree but years ago went with the artificial tree because as you stated much easier on our environment and it pats for itself for years. I have a 4 1/2 ft tree that I put on a table by my living room window and I have smaller trees to use in the dining room and around the fireplace and mantle with dear and lights. I also put up a little Christmas village sometimes. I made a point of making Christmas magical for my son as I raised him alone without grandparents or family . I didn’t have a lot of money but I created beautiful memories for my so . Your table looks very pretty. I too light the candles and then snuff them out . Love your candle holders and cloth. You have such an elegant style. The hotel is beautiful. A bonus to have your dogs with you. What a lovely suite you both had. The countryside around you is so peaceful looking. Thank you for sharing your life with us all. Sending love form my house to yours ❤❤❤
The tree is perfectly decorated. The table is beautifully set. And the suite at the Waldorf was fabulous. Very impressed with your sabering skills. Well done. You are certainly ahead of the game and it’s not even December 👍🏻🙏😎
Oh wow, it’s very fluffy! Beautiful! ❤ You are the Artistic Director of the Christmas tree arrangement! Marvelous! You’re so good with decorating! Hired! 😊😃💕 Absolutely love the bench at the dinning table! It’s a great idea!
All of your Christmas decor is magnificent ✨️ Your presentation, as always, is so peaceful and comforting. Your and Vanessa's hotel stay was a wonderful finale to your Christmas weekend preparation and the accommodations "Christmas perfect" 🎄 😀 My childhood Christmases were always magical. I have only good memories of my childhood for which I'm so very grateful. I'm 74 and memories of Christmases past are endless and fun filled. Love and blessings to you and Sophie. 🐕🐾🧍♂️... Fran 💝🫂
I was so excited to see that you added some red to your tree. The neutral ornaments are beautiful but the red makes it feel so regal and special. Beautiful video!
Nicolas when l was a child my parents prepared us our Christmas toys we did not have a tree but we make them with paper and put them on the walls. Plus draw candles and ornaments. It was the happiest time for us Five kids. Then she gave us eggnuts plus cookies after dinner . Love those memories. Take care Nicolas love xx ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you for the inspiration! Your videos give me a big dose of peace, aesthetics and inspiration! You have incredible taste and charisma! Thank you! ❤
Hello Nicolas! Your tree is so special, and looks so rich and real. It doesn't cover the Edinburgh Blueprint too much either; as I feared it might. It is a marvelous effect. Your niece will absolutely love this. ❤ I remember vividly my siblings and me getting up to some mischief one Christmas by throwing popcorn about our Living Room. This is a favoured memory. This is our first Christmas without Dad; my sister is not even making the pilgrimage to Canada this year, so Christmas will be very different without the whole family present. I encourage you to make some wholesome memories this season. Your Garden Collection Napkins look wonderful! God Bless from Canada 🇨🇦 A
Lovely, as always! my husband absolutely loves red at Christmas, so even though it is not a favorite color of mine, I always want to honor him by putting red on our Christmas tree! I think it really does add so much punch and vitality and color to your gorgeous tree! Annnd the luscious setting…Annnnd the gorgeous hotel! By the by, your dress coat looks so elegant on you. I loved the shoulders.💕❤️🙏
Delightful as always . My brothers birthday is on the 13th December so it was lovely to hear your families tradition of putting the tree up for her birthday. Our family tradition came at the other end of the season, my mothers birthday was the 10th january so the tree and decorations were only taken down on the morning of the 11th. You said something of great importance while dressing the table, you said "Give yourself permission" We can all become trapped by notions of how something should be or by others traditions or ideas. The world is not perfect, we are not perfect and when we feel pressured it is good to give ourselves permission to just be ourselves.
What a super tree and so glad we got to see it all put together so easily, I don’t think a tree looks right without a pop of red at Christmas, your table is absolutely beautiful .Childhood memories for me mom taking me to see Father Christmas in Birmingham,and family get togethers.
Hello Nicolas , loved your video leading up to Christmas also how you ended with the Vlog with the fabulous views of Edinburgh Castle also the solitary walk With your fur kid Sophie , enjoy your Bath 🛀 Mary Canada 🇨🇦
My mom was a single mom and their were 4 of us. She died when I was 9 yrs old. She made Christmas magical. When she died we went to my grandma's house to live. No more trees or presents. I am 74 and love my tree. I live alone and always have a tree. This year I have a slim 7.5 ft tree. With new decorations. I'll put it up after Thanksgiving. Your tree is beautiful ❤️
The tree looks beautiful, Nicholas - really, very lovely! Each year my brother would get his two children to select a toy to meet Father Christmas… They would bundle the toy up against the cold with a little cloak and put a small satchel around it which they had made. They would then put their letters for Father Christmas in it and put the toy out on the back doorstep to await his arrival. I always thought that was very sweet and would make a lovely tradition. 🎄
Everything looks beautiful. How thoughtful you are to have it up for your nieces visit(I hope I remembered that correctly). Back in my day we used the old school tinsel and after us kids would throw it on mom of course would un-clump it,lol. Then on the eve n day-night her sister and kids would come for games and they would bring all their foods and this went on for years as we grew up. Parents are gone and the family homes too but the memories will live on❤.
Thanks again Nicolas for sharing your lovely home with us and your new artificial Christmas tree! Having one is definitely a plus in more ways than one! We finally bought an artificial one after decades of buying real ones and hauling them into and out of the house! Don't miss them especially all the vacuuming up after! I think I still find a pine tree needle every now and then! lol Yes, the RED color is another plus as well! Have you ever noticed in famous films especially ones based on history or romantic epics that the art directors purposefully ADD a touch of red here and there! Sometimes, they use red to great advantage even in modern contemporary films like the famous Academy Award winning French films like "Gigi" and "Amelie" and blockbuster history based movies like "Dr. Zhivago" and "REDS"! Enjoy the holidays ahead~ ♥🎄🎄♥
@@NicolasFairford YW, clever on their part and based on color theory on the part of the art directors, set designers and also the cinematographers! Even Monet did it as well as other painters so I do that as well with some of my paintings! There's a lovely French impressionist painting of a woman sitting in the park surrounded by lush green foliage and other flowers. but the only red in the painting is her parasol which really as you stated, "pops out"! Red is a great accent color if not used as the main color of a room! Cheers~♥
I absolutely loved that tree. Not too fussy, but still colorful and elegant. I just wish I had more patience to do the Christmas decorations. This is why I need tree trimming parties. I practically need an army of people to help me decorate.
I loved everything about this episode. The tree is perfect, you chose wisely. I love your new dinnerware, and the hotel was a perfect ending. I love Edinburgh. It's a magical, sophisticated, fun, welcoming, walkable city, and I'd love to visit again in the future. And surprise - I love haggis. I was told I'd hate it. You chose the perfect background music. Enjoy your holidays. You deserve only the best.
I love your tree and table decor! It gives me such cozy vibes. When I was a little girl, my family and I would decorate our tree together. My favorite Christmas was going to my dad’s job. He worked at a gardening store. One Christmas, he bought us a real tree from his job and they sprayed it white. It was such a beautiful tree. When my husband and I got married, we had our own tradition. We would play Christmas music and bake cookies while decorating our tree. We used our daughter’s picture instead of a star. He said she was our little star and she deserved to be on top. We went all out. Last year, he sadly passed away and decided not to put up Christmas decorations. This year, my daughter is so excited for Christmas. She really wanted to decorate. We continued our little tradition by baking cookies, listening to Christmas music and we made hot chocolate. Sending you so much love and good vibes 💕
Thank you Nicholas for showing us all the lovely things and lovely hotel visits and meals you have received for free. It really makes me trust your judgement.
What a lovely tree! I agree, that even without ornaments it is a beauty, but with the pops of red and gold it truly is breathtaking! Thank you for letting us join you.
That's a great quality faux. It looks like it will last you for a good long time. I also love that it came with what looks like a storage bag. Nice job!!
Loved adding the red ornaments and ribbons. It is nice to add something from your past onto the current Christmas tree. You always do such a lovely presentation and I get several New ideas to tweak my own home🌲🌲
Your Balsam Hill Christmas tree is beautiful. Our family tradition is to save opening our stockings until New Years Eve. Each small gift is thoughtful chosen and wrapped. My daughter always said one of her favorite times at Christmas was opening the treasurers in her stocking.
What a beautiful tree and table, Nicholas. Some would say the table is understated but it's actually the perfect compliment to the lovely tree. How wonderful that your suite is set up like a home! And to have beds for the dogs was a lovely way to include them in pampering style. Gorgeous views from your window as well. Thank you!
Your Christmas tree is absolutely gorgeous! Growing up we always had a live tree. Later in my adult life the idea of artificial tree sounded like a good plan. These last few years I had a “pencil “ tree that was up all year. The hotel was beyond awesome! Christmas I have the greatest memories of family to cherish.
It's perfect, Nicolas! My favourite theme, colours, and ambiance. Love, love, love. We have a tradition where we all go together and choose a tree and a renewable tree farm, set out a buffet, and as the children, all received an ornament each year and they were in charge of decorating with their ornaments. When they grew up and moved out on their own they had a beginner set of ornaments they had their whole life. Now we live on a sailboat and I wrap the mast, which runs down through the salon/galley to the keel, and decorate with artificial boughs and add fresh greens that we gather locally and of course our collection of ornaments. It's so pretty and festive. Wishing you all the best. :)
I put up my tree yesterday and am still moving things around on it! I have used tinsel for years, but I liked the way you used ribbon, so I may do that next year to modernize my tree! I also included a few 'pics' of berries this year to fill those pesky empty spaces nicely! Every year, since the birth of my children, I have bought them each a decoration. Every year it has been their job to put their decorations on the tree. Now that I am in my 'empty nest', I found it a little bittersweet to put their decorations up on their behalf, yet it was lovely thinking of them! Christmas is about family! My Birthday is in December, my Mother always waited until after my Birthday to put up the tree, which I think was lovely of her! Happy Christmas All!
I have a Balsam Hill tree, too. I love it! I’ve had a nature tree the past few years. This year, I’m setting up my Christopher Radko tree. I’ve collected his old fashioned ornaments for several years, and I can’t wait to see them again sparkle.
The addition of the red really adds to the overall look. Good choice!! PS Did you know that there is a new Bunny Mellon biography that's been released this past week? It's called "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" by Mac Griswald. Ms Griswald was a classmate/friend of Bunny's daughter Eliza at Foxcroft. She knew Bunny for decades. It's a great book so far.
When I was growing up, my mother got it into her head that from now on, we were going to have a tree that was flocked white, and all the lights and ornaments were to be red. Needless to say, when I was old enough and lived on my own, I had a green tree with multiple colored lights, Victorian style ornaments, and strings of popcorn and cranberries. It was glorious!
Decorating the Christmas tree is also one of my happiest childhood memories. When I was young-about 10 or 11 years old, I was at my piano teacher’s house for my piano lesson and she had her Christmas tree up in the front window without anything on it. While my sister was having her half hour lesson, she let me decorate her tree for her. We all still laugh at the story of my mom pulling into her driveway to pick us up and seeing me hanging ornaments on her Christmas tree!
Thank you, Sir Nicolas. I am so grateful to have stumbled on your channel and am now a devoted subscriber. You are the elegant male version of Martha Stewart. Your presentations allow me to be transported to a higher frequency level of living. It has stimulated me to reevaluate my choices. As for this video, the pop of red elevated the tree and enhanced your new baubles. Simply stunning! Thank you and have a lovely holiday season, Kate from the States.
Fabulous view of the castle, feels like a fairytale. I really like the quality and ease of your lovely artificial Christmas tree 🎄. The red roses and the gold crowns are such a pretty touch on your tree. 🐕🇺🇸

How unexpected this channel is, soothing and lovely. It is a reminder of how far my life has moved away from elegance. I appreciate the reminder that elegance is a mindset. For me, it involves the luxury of moving slowly. 🕊
I remember as a child walking home from school. Getting so excited to see the Tree in the window against the wet windows. It made the lights sparkle. We did not have central heating. I can still remember the excitement I felt even now as I write this x

The tree looks beautiful! My family decorated the tree on December 7, which was our mother's birthday. She would have frozen the leftover turkey and made turkey soup as my brother and I decorated the tree! The aromas were wonderful and the soup made a perfect and comforting lunch after all our decorating on a cold winter day here in Chicago.
What wonderful memories! 💕
I lived in Chicago for 14 years and it is my favorite city...especially at Christmas. I hope you are of the age when you remember Marshall Field's. So sad it is now just Macy's. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
So joyful 🥰
@@teresahalliday3680 Yes, I remember Marshall Fields and have wonderful memories going there as a child to see the window displays and the beautiful tree in The Walnut Room. Chicago is indeed a beautiful city, but even more so and magical at Christmas! Thank you for your nice comments and Happy Holidays to you!
Amazing memories!
The tree looks stunning - and adding some of the old red decorations were the right way to go - love the baskets at the bottom of the tree too. My parents ALWAYS put the tree up the Saturday before Christmas Eve - I loved it.

Mum also had a beautiful set of 6 Waterford Crystal baubles - that I now have on my tree ❤
So lovely to hear your traditions x
Nothing better than Balsam Hill their trees are Amazing I have purchased two over the years and well worth the money.
I smiled when, after putting up the beautiful ornaments you bought this year, the red ones turned up. I saw myself in the story. So I'll share my funny story. So when I was a kid, we always had a real, classic Christmas tree with red and gold ornaments. When I got older, I asked my mom why we didn't try other colors? She said it was because to her, those colours are the colours of Christmas, and when I have my own home, I can have any tree I want. The first year I moved, I bought blue and silver ornaments just before Christmas to prove to her that there is life beyond gold and red. My tree was beautiful, perfect, elegant and terribly cold. It was like an ice queen. But of course I couldn't admit to myself that I didn't want it and I miss the warm atmosphere, the shiny, classic colours. The following year I found myself hunting for red and gold ornaments in every shop during the festive season. That's when I realized that the family tradition was so burned into me that it was pointless to defy it. Every year from then on, I would have beautiful red and gold glass ornaments on my tree, and my mom would just smile gently when she saw my tree wrapped in the family classics. :)
I just love this story! Thanks so much for sharing X
Another beautiful and luxurious video. Thank you!! You’ve motivated me to decorate a Christmas tree this year - even though it is likely no one will see it but me…. But you’ve made me realize that’s the most important person (me)!! Happy Holidays!!

One of my favorite memories from the 1960s when I was a little kid - we had an aluminum tree with a light that rotated and shined different colors on the thee. I loved laying under the tree and watching all the colors reflect off the aluminum. It looked magical.
Your tree turned out lovely and your table as well. The hotel; enchanting! Hope all is well...when someone says don't worry, I hear, WORRY! Many blessings...
Balsam Hill is the best of the best. It will be with you for a very, very long time. The tree is gorgeous on its own and even more elegant with your decorations. I love to sit with a cup of tea in the evening with all the lights off except the tree, soft Christmas music drifting in the background. The red was needed, perfect touch. As a child I felt it was my duty to rearrange at least one tree ornament a day.
We don't have a tree because we have a cottage so there's not enough space, so I use garlands on the fireplace and top of the dresser and decorate them with traditional decorations and ribbons.
Will you get a 'skirt ' for the bottom of your tree? which is looking fantastic. 😊🌲⛄
Your tree turned out lovely! I especially love the red roses you added. I smiled when you said you’re the kind of person who analyzes every bauble and keeps removing and putting them back on. I’m the exact same way! I also enjoyed hearing how you decorated the tree growing up with your family. As a mother to young children now, I fight my inner perfectionist and try my best to allow my children to decorate the tree how they like. They feel so proud of their work when it’s all done, and honestly I find it more charming. Sometimes it’s messy, but sometimes they have really great ideas I wouldn’t have thought of! :) It’s sweet hearing your memories of your own parents not being “too precious” about it. I hope to give my children those same happy memories.
Oh - your tree is absolutely gorgeous!!! I did enjoy watching you decorate your new tree. One of the things I remember from my childhood at Christmas was that my mom would give my brother and me a decorated basket filled with oranges, apples, walnuts, pecans and a few chocolate candies and a small gift. I suppose it was in place of stockings. I will always remember this!
У нас тоже есть большая корзина ввиде саней, и каждый год ночью я наполняю её конфетами и другими сладостями для детей и ставлю под ёлку. Ну и подарки конечно тоже кладем.
What a lovely memory - thanks for sharing!
@@kristinanojnici3325 да у нас в Рождество все был самый прекрасный и счастливый.
These trees are truly beautiful, mine is in its seventh year and is still as beautiful as the first time I saw it. Well worth the investment. Beautiful Nicholas, colour is perfect for your room.
Oh what a beautiful way to start off the Christmas season: (w/ one of your perfect videos!😉)
1. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree
2. A beautifully set Christmas table
And last but not least…
3. A stay at a beautiful luxury hotel
What more could any of us ask?
🎄❤️🎄
I agree adding the red brings a pop of color. I love red and it makes the tree more traditional.
Also that Christmas table can also go for thanksgiving table that doesn’t overdo it with pumpkins but rather the understated elegant earthy look.
Thank you for sharing a small snippet of your life with us.
Thank you, Nicolas, for sharing this beautiful moment. It is gorgeous and so uplifting! When I was young, my parents struggled a little bit, and I remember our Christmas tree was always a little bit thin and the ornaments unremarkable. The joy in my house was no less, and even though the trees were very modest, we were always happy. I always wanted a "perfect tree". In my twenties I vowed to build a glorious ornament collection to pass down to my children one day so I started collecting them, with one really nice once a year. I built a beautiful collection of ornaments and they have run with it. Now that they are grown, I do something different. I dig out old photos from when they were little children, often making funny faces, and general sibling shenanigans. A store here in the States has these lovely little photo frame ornaments with the year 2022 on a little dangling charm hanging off of it. Very pretty & elegant...and in goes the goofy childhood pictures. The memories are precious and they are packaged up perfectly for the tree. My grown children love them and we are greatly enjoying this new tradition!
That hotel was mind blowing! All because it leaned on the glorious old fashioned details. " New and Modern" has its place, yes. But in this case, it's all about grace, charm, warmth, coziness, tradition and being comfy. It's a loving hug in hotel form!
Beautiful tree & beautifully decorated. Simply stunning & elegant 🎄
I love your style Nicholas....you have class and taste and are so dignified with a calm and gentle spirit....all good qualities.Your tree looks beautiful as does your table.I am putting afternoon tea at the Caledonian on my bucket list ..looks amazing !
Nicolas, your tree looks really beautiful and the hotel suite was amazing. Lucky you. I agree that gloves are the way to go when fluffing up a Christmas tree. Last year I fluffed up my tree without gloves, the next morning I noticed that the diamond was missing from my engagement ring! 😱 I searched high and low for the diamond, vacuumed every rug, my husband removed the U-bends under every sink in the house to no avail. The whole of December I kept wondering if the diamond was in the tree 🤔 On 1 January I couldn’t bear it any longer, I just had to look for the diamond in the tree so I took all the decorations off and shook the tree like a mad woman. I nearly gave up. I gave it one more massive shake and there it was!! The diamond…it fell onto the floor!! 🥳💍 I was so happy and it was a great start to the New Year! 👌🏼
Children. There's nothing more magical than decorating a stunning, sumptuous, extravagantly decorated tree, then bringing in the wee ones. The looks on their cherubim faces, the little mouths opened in awe, then seeing them sit down in front of the tree and looking up in wonder - pointing out this bauble, and that glittering, sparkling something - is pure joy. Add some wondrous Christmas carols, Christmas cookies with hot cocoa, and there are few more perfect moments in life.
You said it so well!
There are 2 trees in our home. A white one with all gold ornaments from our travels and life events adorns our living room. In addition, it spins! A green tree is in our family room and is dedicated to our children. The tree is surrounded by a train and animated Christmas figures on a snow scene. This has been tradition in our home, since our children were very little.
Thank you Nicolas, Wow what a tree and table setting, just gorgeous. I sure would love to spend a night in such a beautiful hotel, Hugs Bea
Your tree and new ornaments are beautiful. I realized I was smiling warmly watching you decorate. Great job.
Happy to hear this! Thank you!
The roses on the tree were the perfect touch, I will do the same on mine, I loved it so much. I love the crystal bauble on your napkin rings very elegant
Your new tree looks so well made and how nice that they even included storage bags - better than the old sheets I wrap mine in :). I am glad you added the pops of red along with your new gold baubles. I have a faux tree that has branches that are a mix of types of evergreens so I have to wire each bauble to the tree and while that sounds painful, it really is quite simple and at least there is no worry about one falling. I also make sure to put some of the larger baubles and picks further into the inside of the tree, which draws the eye into the branches. Picks are the best time savers and space fillers because you can literally shove them in like you have done with the roses. Your table looks lovely and very warm even before you add flowers. Can't wait to see it finished.
You understand the tree decorating assignment..Add just one dominant pop of color, not the entire color wheel in ornaments.. Exquisitely done..
Lovely Christmas tree and the red accent makes it perfect. Christmas time is just so kind to the soul, my favorite holiday. This year i put my Christmas tree at November 11, a holiday here in Belgium remembering the first WW. Enjoy the Season to the best Nicholas and dearest.
Enjoyed this so much. I purchased a Balsam Hill tree last year and it is a wow. None of us liked putting on the lights so this was an easy yes. I loved your fabulous decorations and think it looks stunning. Your table is magnificent. I enjoyed your music also. Wonderful video. Many thanks.
I have a Christmas tree from the same company and it is wonderful. The postman even stopped me to say how lovely it looked!
I have done a red and gold tree many years. As well as a white and gold and a blue and gold tree. Yours is very lovely
And your table setting is festive and very flexible for other occasions. I definitely want to come stay in that hotel suite. It's the bomb. Nice festive jammie bottoms too.
Your faux blue spruce is beautiful and the decorations are perfect! Anyone lucky enough to be your dinner guest will be pleasantly surprised and very pleased with your festive table scape. The hotel suite was magnificent, they thought of everything. Thank you Nicolas🎄🙏🏻❤️
Loved decorating the tree as a child. My mum used to tweak it, after we'd gone to bed but I don't think we ever realised. That was a confession of hers as we grew up!
Hello Nic, what a lovely tree . So happy to see you and your BFF, Vanessa together again . 😊
Nicholas your tree is gorgeous and I am so glad you added the red and some of your special older decorations.
Your niece is going to be so happy to see your tree. I wish I could purchase one of the Balsam Trees but a bit too expensive for my pocketbook.
I used to love a fresh tree but years ago went with the artificial tree because as you stated much easier on our environment and it pats for itself for years. I have a 4 1/2 ft tree that I put on a table by my living room window and I have smaller trees to use in the dining room and around the fireplace and mantle with dear and lights. I also put up a little Christmas village sometimes. I made a point of making Christmas magical for my son as I raised him alone without grandparents or family . I didn’t have a lot of money but I created beautiful memories for my so .
Your table looks very pretty. I too light the candles and then snuff them out . Love your candle holders and cloth. You have such an elegant style.
The hotel is beautiful. A bonus to have your dogs with you. What a lovely suite you both had. The countryside around you is so peaceful looking.
Thank you for sharing your life with us all. Sending love form my house to yours ❤❤❤
Your tree is just right with that bit of red. 🎄
Edinburgh is always lovely at Christmas!
I do like a good hotel breakfast!
What a beauty! And the tree is nice as well 😉😂
The tree is perfectly decorated. The table is beautifully set. And the suite at the Waldorf was fabulous. Very impressed with your sabering skills. Well done. You are certainly ahead of the game and it’s not even December 👍🏻🙏😎
Your table setting was so beautiful, too!! And, that hotel!!! Oh my goodness!
Pretty tree. The red gives it warmth. Good job.
Oh wow, it’s very fluffy! Beautiful! ❤ You are the Artistic Director of the Christmas tree arrangement! Marvelous! You’re so good with decorating! Hired! 😊😃💕 Absolutely love the bench at the dinning table! It’s a great idea!
Haha! Thank you!
The color of the tree goes well with the atmosphere of the house~ beautiful. ~
Adding some red was a very good idea. I love your table seting.
Love the trousers Nicolas.
All of your Christmas decor is magnificent ✨️ Your presentation, as always, is so peaceful and comforting. Your and Vanessa's hotel stay was a wonderful finale to your Christmas weekend preparation and the accommodations "Christmas perfect" 🎄 😀
My childhood Christmases were always magical. I have only good memories of my childhood for which I'm so very grateful. I'm 74 and memories of Christmases past are endless and fun filled. Love and blessings to you and Sophie. 🐕🐾🧍♂️... Fran 💝🫂
I was so excited to see that you added some red to your tree. The neutral ornaments are beautiful but the red makes it feel so regal and special. Beautiful video!
Nicolas when l was a child my parents prepared us our Christmas toys we did not have a tree but we make them with paper and put them on the walls. Plus draw candles and ornaments. It was the happiest time for us Five kids. Then she gave us eggnuts plus cookies after dinner . Love those memories. Take care Nicolas love xx ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you for the inspiration! Your videos give me a big dose of peace, aesthetics and inspiration! You have incredible taste and charisma! Thank you! ❤
Hello Nicolas!
Your tree is so special, and looks so rich and real. It doesn't cover the Edinburgh Blueprint too much either; as I feared it might. It is a marvelous effect. Your niece will absolutely love this. ❤
I remember vividly my siblings and me getting up to some mischief one Christmas by throwing popcorn about our Living Room. This is a favoured memory.
This is our first Christmas without Dad; my sister is not even making the pilgrimage to Canada this year, so Christmas will be very different without the whole family present. I encourage you to make some wholesome memories this season.
Your Garden Collection Napkins look wonderful!
God Bless from Canada 🇨🇦

Lovely, as always! my husband absolutely loves red at Christmas, so even though it is not a favorite color of mine, I always want to honor him by putting red on our Christmas tree! I think it really does add so much punch and vitality and color to your gorgeous tree! Annnd the luscious setting…Annnnd the gorgeous hotel! By the by, your dress coat looks so elegant on you. I loved the shoulders.💕❤️🙏
Delightful as always . My brothers birthday is on the 13th December so it was lovely to hear your families tradition of putting the tree up for her birthday. Our family tradition came at the other end of the season, my mothers birthday was the 10th january so the tree and decorations were only taken down on the morning of the 11th.
You said something of great importance while dressing the table, you said "Give yourself permission" We can all become trapped by notions of how something should be or by others traditions or ideas. The world is not perfect, we are not perfect and when we feel pressured it is good to give ourselves permission to just be ourselves.
This is such a wonderful video. You’ve put me in the holiday spirit! 🎄🍾
What a super tree and so glad we got to see it all put together so easily, I don’t think a tree looks right without a pop of red at Christmas, your table is absolutely beautiful .Childhood memories for me mom taking me to see Father Christmas in Birmingham,and family get togethers.
Ahh how nice! Thank you!
Hello Nicolas ,
loved your video leading up to Christmas also how you ended with the
Vlog with the fabulous views of Edinburgh Castle also the solitary walk
With your fur kid Sophie , enjoy your Bath 🛀
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
My mom was a single mom and their were 4 of us. She died when I was 9 yrs old. She made Christmas magical. When she died we went to my grandma's house to live. No more trees or presents. I am 74 and love my tree. I live alone and always have a tree. This year I have a slim 7.5 ft tree. With new decorations. I'll put it up after Thanksgiving. Your tree is beautiful ❤️
I wish you a happy Christmas!
The tree looks beautiful, Nicholas - really, very lovely!
Each year my brother would get his two children to select a toy to meet Father Christmas…
They would bundle the toy up against the cold with a little cloak and put a small satchel around it which they had made. They would then put their letters for Father Christmas in it and put the toy out on the back doorstep to await his arrival.
I always thought that was very sweet and would make a lovely tradition. 🎄
Everything looks beautiful. How thoughtful you are to have it up for your nieces visit(I hope I remembered that correctly). Back in my day we used the old school tinsel and after us kids would throw it on mom of course would un-clump it,lol. Then on the eve n day-night her sister and kids would come for games and they would bring all their foods and this went on for years as we grew up. Parents are gone and the family homes too but the memories will live on❤.
Waldorf Astoria in Scotland is breathtaking. The views are beautiful. What a memory of a lifetime.
Such a pleasure to see the way you have decorated your brand new Christmas tree.
Thank you!
What a stunning hotel. How lovely that they welcome furry guests as well. Thank you for a wonderful glimpse of the little luxuries in life.
Your home looks gorgeous this holiday season!
Thanks again Nicolas for sharing your lovely home with us and your new artificial Christmas tree! Having one is definitely a plus in more ways than one! We finally bought an artificial one after decades of buying real ones and hauling them into and out of the house! Don't miss them especially all the vacuuming up after! I think I still find a pine tree needle every now and then! lol Yes, the RED color is another plus as well! Have you ever noticed in famous films especially ones based on history or romantic epics that the art directors purposefully ADD a touch of red here and there! Sometimes, they use red to great advantage even in modern contemporary films like the famous Academy Award winning French films like "Gigi" and "Amelie" and blockbuster history based movies like "Dr. Zhivago" and "REDS"! Enjoy the holidays ahead~ ♥🎄🎄♥
Clever analysis! Thank you!
@@NicolasFairford YW, clever on their part and based on color theory on the part of the art directors, set designers and also the cinematographers! Even Monet did it as well as other painters so I do that as well with some of my paintings! There's a lovely French impressionist painting of a woman sitting in the park surrounded by lush green foliage and other flowers. but the only red in the painting is her parasol which really as you stated, "pops out"! Red is a great accent color if not used as the main color of a room! Cheers~♥
I absolutely loved that tree. Not too fussy, but still colorful and elegant. I just wish I had more patience to do the Christmas decorations. This is why I need tree trimming parties. I practically need an army of people to help me decorate.
Trimming party - great idea!
I loved everything about this episode. The tree is perfect, you chose wisely. I love your new dinnerware, and the hotel was a perfect ending. I love Edinburgh. It's a magical, sophisticated, fun, welcoming, walkable city, and I'd love to visit again in the future. And surprise - I love haggis. I was told I'd hate it. You chose the perfect background music. Enjoy your holidays. You deserve only the best.
So kind - Thank you!
Adding the red is the finishing touch. It’s a beautiful tree. Your table setting will add to a perfect dinner.
Wow, that's really gorgeous even before the decorations
Everything is simply beautiful 😍
I love your tree and table decor! It gives me such cozy vibes. When I was a little girl, my family and I would decorate our tree together. My favorite Christmas was going to my dad’s job. He worked at a gardening store. One Christmas, he bought us a real tree from his job and they sprayed it white. It was such a beautiful tree. When my husband and I got married, we had our own tradition. We would play Christmas music and bake cookies while decorating our tree. We used our daughter’s picture instead of a star. He said she was our little star and she deserved to be on top. We went all out. Last year, he sadly passed away and decided not to put up Christmas decorations. This year, my daughter is so excited for Christmas. She really wanted to decorate. We continued our little tradition by baking cookies, listening to Christmas music and we made hot chocolate. Sending you so much love and good vibes 💕
Thank you Nicholas for showing us all the lovely things and lovely hotel visits and meals you have received for free. It really makes me trust your judgement.
Hola Nicolas feliz tiempo de Fiestas y nuevos sueños por organizar ...un abrazo, desde México
Wow. Beautiful table setup and film!
Your tree is so stunning 🎉 you have such style with your decorations 👍
What a lovely tree! I agree, that even without ornaments it is a beauty, but with the pops of red and gold it truly is breathtaking! Thank you for letting us join you.
Your life feels so enchanting, peaceful and inviting. Be proud of what you have created!!
That's a great quality faux. It looks like it will last you for a good long time. I also love that it came with what looks like a storage bag. Nice job!!
Loved adding the red ornaments and ribbons. It is nice to add something from your past onto the current Christmas tree. You always do such a lovely presentation and I get several New ideas to tweak my own home🌲🌲
Your Balsam Hill Christmas tree is beautiful. Our family tradition is to save opening our stockings until New Years Eve. Each small gift is thoughtful chosen and wrapped. My daughter always said one of her favorite times at Christmas was opening the treasurers in her stocking.
Wow! The price of that tree is over the top! 🙀
Your tree is perfect.
What a beautiful tree and table, Nicholas. Some would say the table is understated but it's actually the perfect compliment to the lovely tree.
How wonderful that your suite is set up like a home! And to have beds for the dogs was a lovely way to include them in pampering style. Gorgeous views from your window as well. Thank you!
Your Christmas tree is absolutely gorgeous! Growing up we always had a live tree. Later in my adult life the idea of artificial tree sounded like a good plan. These last few years I had a “pencil “ tree that was up all year. The hotel was beyond awesome!
Christmas I have the greatest memories of family to cherish.
Wow that is beautiful Christmas tree!!
It's perfect, Nicolas! My favourite theme, colours, and ambiance. Love, love, love. We have a tradition where we all go together and choose a tree and a renewable tree farm, set out a buffet, and as the children, all received an ornament each year and they were in charge of decorating with their ornaments. When they grew up and moved out on their own they had a beginner set of ornaments they had their whole life. Now we live on a sailboat and I wrap the mast, which runs down through the salon/galley to the keel, and decorate with artificial boughs and add fresh greens that we gather locally and of course our collection of ornaments. It's so pretty and festive. Wishing you all the best. :)
The tree is really stunning with the pops of red !!
I put up my tree yesterday and am still moving things around on it! I have used tinsel for years, but I liked the way you used ribbon, so I may do that next year to modernize my tree! I also included a few 'pics' of berries this year to fill those pesky empty spaces nicely! Every year, since the birth of my children, I have bought them each a decoration. Every year it has been their job to put their decorations on the tree. Now that I am in my 'empty nest', I found it a little bittersweet to put their decorations up on their behalf, yet it was lovely thinking of them! Christmas is about family! My Birthday is in December, my Mother always waited until after my Birthday to put up the tree, which I think was lovely of her! Happy Christmas All!
I have a Balsam Hill tree, too. I love it! I’ve had a nature tree the past few years. This year, I’m setting up my Christopher Radko tree. I’ve collected his old fashioned ornaments for several years, and I can’t wait to see them again sparkle.
The addition of the red really adds to the overall look. Good choice!!
PS Did you know that there is a new Bunny Mellon biography that's been released this past week? It's called "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" by Mac Griswald. Ms Griswald was a classmate/friend of Bunny's daughter Eliza at Foxcroft. She knew Bunny for decades. It's a great book so far.
Another gorgeous episode from your kind and lovely heart. Like sitting with a good friend. Looking forward to Wednesday. Much love and joy to you ❤
I just put up my tree today. Love how the lights make the room so warm.
When I was growing up, my mother got it into her head that from now on, we were going to have a tree that was flocked white, and all the lights and ornaments were to be red. Needless to say, when I was old enough and lived on my own, I had a green tree with multiple colored lights, Victorian style ornaments, and strings of popcorn and cranberries. It was glorious!
Decorating the Christmas tree is also one of my happiest childhood memories. When I was young-about 10 or 11 years old, I was at my piano teacher’s house for my piano lesson and she had her Christmas tree up in the front window without anything on it. While my sister was having her half hour lesson, she let me decorate her tree for her. We all still laugh at the story of my mom pulling into her driveway to pick us up and seeing me hanging ornaments on her Christmas tree!
Thank you, Sir Nicolas. I am so grateful to have stumbled on your channel and am now a devoted subscriber. You are the elegant male version of Martha Stewart. Your presentations allow me to be transported to a higher frequency level of living. It has stimulated me to reevaluate my choices. As for this video, the pop of red elevated the tree and enhanced your new baubles. Simply stunning! Thank you and have a lovely holiday season, Kate from the States.
Fabulous view of the castle, feels like a fairytale. I really like the quality and ease of your lovely artificial Christmas tree 🎄. The red roses and the gold crowns are such a pretty touch on your tree. 🐕🇺🇸
looks so beautiful, wow, Aesop is also my favourite brand, pricey but worth every penny
