Hi Christopher. When it comes to Christmas, I'm sooo old school. Just give me red, green, silver & gold. But your designs, whatever color scheme you choose, never disappoint. Happy decorating!

I get the whole feeling drained from a job, and every day, being high stakes. I'm 6 years recovered from such a job. It was my "dream job," in terms of salary, title, etc. It definitely made me tougher, but in the end, a toxic work environment will grind you down. Happy you've reclaimed your life. Sooo glad you're back vlogging, you've been missed.

Good morning, Christopher. LOVING these Vlogs, and your sharing of how this life change was so pivotal for you, and your overall happiness. I have related to you and your schedule, and am now realizing how making a similar change is NECESSARY for me - but feel too lost/ defeated to do it. As far as the Christmas decor theme - I LOVE the idea of blue, chartreuse and brass. :)

The green and blue together gives me Kate Spade vibes in the best way. I’m powerless to resist the charms of anything chartreuse, such a beautiful colour. For me it doesn’t matter how many times I think I’ll do something different with my Christmas decor my heart always pulls me back to red/green/white/gold/silver. As a person who experienced that exact same burnout (and could be tiptoeing towards it now, but at least I can see the signs) I’m glad you’re through it, it’s absolutely no way to live and I’m so happy that you’re really living again x

You're finding out what a 'normal lifestyle' feels like, sometimes stress but not everyday each day 😊 I had to relearn also once we moved from our very large and even larger garden. Instead of running from task to task and never enjoying what we had, to now smaller simpler home and garden that l can now happily manage without complete exhaustion. Life has gotten larger and happier because my husband and l have the time to enjoy it😊❤

Hi Christopher. I've been so loving Chartreuse for about a year now. My favorite color to combine it with is Aubergine, but it also looks really beautiful with the blue that you're considering. Whichever way you decide to go it will look amazing, as always!!

I think the light blue and chartreuse colors would look so nice in your new home for Christmas. I’m sure no matter what theme it will be gorgeous!😍 I’m so glad you gave an update on towns near you.

He doesn’t owe us the specifics of his job. Any job can be stressful due to a myriad of factors. I think anyone can relate to knowing a job or situation is not good for you and how much relief it brings when you find a place that is better for you.

Have you been able to figure out what Xmas decor, specifically for the tree, made the move successfully? I think I need more data. Definitely want to use what you have already to combine with new stuff.
