I’m looking forward to celebrating Christmas with my first grandchild. She will be 4 months old at Christmas. I’m so in love!

[@randyschulz1249]

Going to Nebraska to visit family. We celebrate 5 birthdays (my oldest daughter 15th, 5 nieces, and Dad. Tthen last Dec 14th, we got 2 adopted grandkids on the 14th, one boy & one girl. We can't wait for all the new family and watching all the celebrating with Mom, she's 94. Traditions to follow and traditions to start..

[@juststac]

Aside from having my family gathered at my home, I most look forward to having my tree up, lit with mini lights and all other lights off while watching my 3 fave Christmas movies. And, no, you aren't the only one who tells people you made something. We should take pride in what we create!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Absolutely! Such a great way to look at it!

[@shellykeeling1990]

I lost my mom in August, so Christmas is going to be hard, but I WILL find the joy in it. I look forward to crafting and decorating for the holidays in the coming months. Crafting is my therapy, and I truly need daily therapy! I also let people know when I have made something that they admire. And I always give myself away as to how much of a bargain I got at a thrift store or on clearance. I am looking forward to more videos from you and hearing more about your baby and finding out your baby's name. That is exciting! Your videos bring are uplifting, inspirational, informative, and fun to watch. I love your personality. I'm wanting to go to Pinners next year and hope to get to meet you if you are there.

[@ellen-marie6692]

So sorry for your loss. Firsts are always the hardest after. Hoping you do get opportunities for craft therapy, support from friends & family, & happier memories. It can be good to create something for yourself, too - perhaps including something you might have of your mom’s, like a swatch of fabric from a garment or a piece of jewelry or a letter or card. Above all, don’t let anyone tell you how to grieve - it’s all so personal even for people grieving the loss of the same loved person.

[@kittykitty435]

I've been meaning to make one of the decor piece with a Christmas tree, a rocking chair and the poem about thinking about family now are in heaven. Got me to tear up just writing heaven. 💔💔

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Oh Shelly, I wish I could give you a big hug!! I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 I admire your persistence to find the joy in the holiday season after loss. You are so right in finding things to help! And thank you for your sweet comment, I can’t wait to learn his name too lol we have to narrow down options in the coming weeks ♥️

[@justjennifer8448]

@shellykeeling1990 🩵🙏🏻Shelly, I am so sorry for your loss of your precious mom. I said a prayer for you just now. Hugs, Jennifer🙏🏻🩵

[@janicebeckett7287]

I still have a little grandson, age 3, who loves the whole Santa thing. It's magic watching his face!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

It’s the best!!

[@tkline403]

I am looking forward to serving together with my hubby and kiddos at our church this Christmas. We always have a Hanging of the Greens service where we spend the first Sunday of December decorating the whole church and then that evening, we have a night of worship and light the sanctuary and Christmas tree together as a church family.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

That sounds so beautiful! What a wonderful way to celebrate! 🥰

[@amandakizer4718]

Home alone! Such a classic! So many things u can make!

[@stephanieyavorchak7184]

I always love all the things you make but, today my favorite is the marshmallows and the cups from toilet paper rolls. My favorite Christmas move is Miricale on 34th Street. I keep praying the your pregnancy goes well, best wishes.🎄

[@rebeccamontgomery9941]

I am just looking forward to sharing time with our 4 grown children and our 5 grandchildren! Thank you for all the ideas of fun stuff to make for Christmas!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Yay!! Enjoy it 🌲♥️

[@bonitameyer5620]

I'm looking forward to getting together with family and friends. I am also looking forward to decorating my home and yard. Christmas is my favorite holiday.

[@verticledreams]

Family is my favorite thing about Christmas 🎄 and Lights! I love love Christmas lights I put so many on the tree even though it is pre-light I add more! My main tree theme is family. We did dirty Santa with ornaments for many years so I have those all connected to memories

[@kellysattler7441]

Love everything you make❤ May God Bless You all & May you have a Beautiful Blessed Dec Baby,they are the sweetest souls as I had one almost 37yrs ago.❤

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Thank you! You too!

[@joanamell3448]

I love Christmas diys.. I spend most of my craft time this time of year on them.. I don't have a circuit but I manage

[@alicecaressimo1309]

Thank you for sharing. My favorite Christmas show is always "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown" BUT I love "A Christmas Story" and "A Christmas Carol"!!!!

[@christinabrittain5735]

I’m looking forward to making the mini coffee mugs as ornaments for my tree.

[@jeanrsmith]

My son and (daughter) in law, will come to Florida for Christmas. Since they moved to Philly we don’t see them very often because they are busy with their careers. We FaceTime often but it isn’t enough for me. Sooo can’t wait to spend time with them!

[@cindyballard7585]

We live in the old, family farmhouse built in 1911. We have huge oak trees and one lost a giant limb. I asked and the nice tree guy and he cut it into 1-1 1/2 " rounds and they have 12-14" diameter. I'm making trays for my husbands siblings (7) and my kids with the name of farm and when it was established! Lots of sanding, sealing and stenciling to do. I hope they like them! Beautiful projects!

[@kathleensemmens2530]

What an awesome (and thoughtful) idea for the tree limb!

[@trishblaseg3131]

Spending time with family and friends!! ❄️🎄

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Enjoy! 🎄🎄🎄

[@cuttinscraps]

Christmas is my favorite holiday also. I just love all of the Christmas movies, smells and the lights. I can’t wait to decorate. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

I’m so glad you enjoyed them! ♥️

[@junefont2524]

Whitney…you outdid yourself!! These ideas are all amazing! I’m most looking forward to having Christmas with my son and daughter and their families. They are relocating to Florida and I could not be more excited! Every holiday will be so special with them close by.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Oh yay, that’s such great news! Enjoy having them close, so many new memories to make ♥️

[@mariametheny1295]

I look forward to decorating and most of all, spending time with family.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Wonderful! 🎄

[@amycoleman3994]

Excited to spend time with family

[@jodeez]

Love creating new traditions and reviving the old traditions. Since my mom passed this summer, I will be making Norwegian lefse and making marzipan cookies in her honor. Both are a bit time consuming.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

I’m so sorry for your loss! The plans you have to honor her are lovely!

[@amber689]

Just like that, my Thursday is so much better. So many projects in this video that seem doable. Thank you for ALL the printables. Home Alone 2 is my son’s favorite. We do love The Christmas Story, too.

[@vickiemoore7539]

I’m looking forward to playing kid friendly games with all 6 of my grandkids while sharing the love of God with them.

[@lorieaderman8418]

This year, I most look forward to celebrating my grandson's first Christmas! He will be 10 months old...I will most definitely be making him the personalized Santa bag. Thank you for sharing the file!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

That is awesome! Enjoy! 🎄🎄🎄

[@AmyBlakely-ei6wr]

My great nieces first christmas. She was born today ❤

[@kittykitty435]

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

That’s wonderful! Congrats and enjoy!

[@AmyBlakely-ei6wr]

@kittykitty435 thank you!

[@AmyBlakely-ei6wr]

@Whiskeyandwhit thank you and I will! ❤️ 😭

[@denisekoenig9479]

Congratulations

[@celtprincess13]

My favorite thing is listening to Christmas carols, so I usually start playing them on November 1st. So I'm waiting for that. My other fave thing is sending cards!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

I love that!!

[@debbielajoie9849]

Hi Whitney, my favourite part of Christmas is putting up our Christmas tree on Christmas eve and decorating it.🎄 Thank you for sharing all these awesome quick and easy Christmas/winter diys, it's greatly appreciated! I can't wait for your next video. Take care and I hope that you have a great weekend! 💞🇨🇦

[@lindabeall5614]

My favorite Christmas movie is; It's A Wonderful Life.

[@StacyElizabeth115]

Same

[@kittykitty435]

It's amazing all the things you can make out of cardboard! I love how it looks like gingerbread! So many cute and easy items to make! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Yes! Thank you!

[@juliehoffman8480]

I am looking forward to spending Christmas with my extended family, my kids, and my grandson! Christmas Vacation and Home Alone are a tie for my favorite movies! The Santa bag is going on my to-do list! Thanks for all the great diys!!

[@brookelemonds6678]

I am looking forward to making new memories with my family but also making new dupes that you put out each year!!❤️💚

[@traceyfrank1298]

Always look forward to holiday time with family and friends. Decorating the house inside and out. Holiday baking of cookies and chocolates. Giving trays of my homemade goodies to a large variety of our fave places, family and friends. Driving to see holiday lights.

[@debbymccormack6525]

Whitney, I adore all of the brilliant ideas you have for your movie ornaments and decor. It inspires me every year! How you come up with so many ideas is beyond me. I think a cute one for Home Alone would be a toothbrush for the one he stole and maybe a receipt and coupon for the items he bought at the grocery store. Not as cute as your ideas but Home Alone fanatics would get it!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Great idea!! I had a toothbrush in my tiered tray set up last year, but I love the receipt idea!!

[@jbwhite11]

Loving this video, I am most excited this Christmas to see the holidays through the eyes of my 1 year old grandson. I know he will probably like the boxes bows and wrapping paper better than the gifts inside but that is fine with me. Whitney you are by far my favorite You Tube creator. I never miss a video and most I have watched twice. My 89 years young mom lives with us and she loves you too.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

You are so sweet, thank you! Enjoy your time with your sweet little guy, Christmas with little is the best!!

[@susannewastlund6709]

I love this video. The only suggestion I would make, and that may be my personal taste, the nativity set, paint the star, either white or gold, so it stands out. Because it is the wayfinder to the Nativity.

[@CamilleH53]

My grandson, that we are raising, is 8 and I am so happy that he STILL loves to craft! We're going to get one more 'magical' Christmas in the books!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Yay have so much fun!

[@tinaharris7070]

Our favorite movie for Christmas is Garfields family Christmas. A Christmas Carol is a close second. You are so creative and informative. TY

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Aw thank you! So happy to hear that!

[@denisekoenig9479]

The polar Express and Christmas story are my favs

[@jeannehoerr2701]

My favorite thing I am looking forward to this Christmas is my new granddaughter! It will be her first Christmas & I am looking forward to some special cuddle time🥰

[@debbiewilliams8107]

My daughter & I have a tradition of baking Santa's cookies on Christmas Eve then attending church w/family & friends. Tho we all are a bit scattered now, we enjoy when we can be together. Also, we always watch certain movies together & it's such fun to spontaneously erupt w/the script or Christmas song. Lastly, when she was young I'd take her to the Sunday Matinee of the Nutcracker Ballet. So fun to dress her up in a new velvet dress & black patent leather shoes. She's grown now & I'm thinking this year might be a good time to go again, maybe those hair bows could be exchanged for some earrings like your bow ones you wore in the video in TX. ❤

[@sandieyule1644]

Hi again Whitney, I am excited about Christmas just because it is such a special reminder to be thankful for all God has blessed us with through the year and a time to look forward to next year.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Absolutely!

[@shellylemons]

Home Alone is my favorite Christmas movie. It is also the first movie I watched with my husband.

[@quitapollard7507]

I am looking forward to being in our new home where we can create new memories

[@glennamanos7384]

Love the recap of previous projects. Gives me a refresher on all the ideas I never got around too but still want too ❤

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

So glad! I enjoy kicking off the season with these projects to help get the creative juices flowing!

[@carriegiles9240]

Whitney, how exciting you're having a new baby soon! I loved the silhouette nativity- I bought several and plan on doing this with my Sunday School kids in December. Thanks for the good idea!! Blessings

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Wonderful!

[@kathymaccrea8621]

I'm still with you. I am looking forward to time with family. My husband and I are retired and our grandchildren live in another state so we don't get to see them as often as we would like. Would love to see you do DIYs for White Christmas. I love to tell people I made things myself. The Ooooos and Ahhhhs that I get are very satisfying! So excited for you and your family with the new baby coming. Looking forward to hearing the baby's name!

[@annausten3039]

My favorite thing about Chrisymas is remembering decorating the tree. When I was little, my brother was in charge of buying the tree. It was always too big and we had to wire it to the walls so it didn't fall over...good times!!

[@diannaperry8116]

I love everything about the Christmas. The music the smells decorating my home looking at Christmas items in the stores . All these things just make me happy and gives me a huge case of the “feels”.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

I love that - it's so true! The Christmas state of mind is the BEST!

[@sandieyule1644]

Whitney I love all your art work you share. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talents. You are beyond creative. Blessings to you and your growing family!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Thank you so much! And you are so welcome!

[@SandraWhite-rs7ge]

I already ordered the nativity wood pieces from Hobby Lobby to make my adult kids a nativity for each of their houses. Thank you for the idea.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Love it! You are so welcome!

[@krystal6612]

I absolutely love the handpainted nativity sign that you use to zip ties. I’m definitely making that it is beautiful. I love all your DIY so much. You’re so caring. And thank you for the free files❤

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Thank you! 😊 I was so happy with how that one turned out!!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Thank you! 🤗

[@christianabaeza5502]

I love The Grinch that stole Christmas. It's my most favorite. But there's too many I love. I have a Christmas baby also. She's 27 now. The years went by so fast. Cherish every moment with your babies. Because before we know it, they are gone. Thank you, Whitney, for everything you do❤❤❤

[@lisaraymond4140]

Looking forward to kids being home for Christmas. I will also be getting married to my partner of 10 years on 12/28, so looking to make some special decorations for a magical Christmas season!

No, you’re not alone! I always share my good deals and projects! I’m proud of not spending too much on my decor.

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

Love that! Thanks so much!!

[@julie4613]

The world needs more people like you Whitney. you have blessed all of us by sharing your ideas. I love all of them absolutely every one of them. I would love to try the large signs first although I'm not quite sure how to send the images to Walgreens. I'm so ignorant with technology it's not even funny. I'm even confused as to how you modified it on your computer so the words don't get cut off. I'm hoping I will get the courage to try it. Once again I can't explain to you how you've blessed my morning. Thank you so very very much

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

You are so sweet, thank you! ♥️

[@lindajohnson24]

Enjoy family and friends getting together!

[@sandicollins4000]

What I look forward to the most about Christmas is everything! I look forward to gathering with my family, lights, lights and more lights, Christmas movies, Christmas music and the feeling of joy the whole holiday season brings to just about everyone. You’re not the only one to tell people you made something, it’s a lot of time and effort to make things for others and I feel we need that pat on the back 🎄

[@celisewitherington8404]

Spending time with my family especially my grands-LD and Astrid
