Gorgeous decorations Helen! That Peacock ribbon was beautiful. Loved the little soldiers also, and nice history behind them. I really liked the Stag’s head, he is lovely. You are such a talented lady! Your whole house looks wonderful. Congratulations to the winners. Merry Christmas to you, Rob and your family. 🎄🎅🏻

Your decorations are wonderful. I love the peacock patterned ribbon. Fresh foliage always looks the best. I used to use fresh foliage from my garden for my garlands and wreaths. You do a grand job Helen. Thank you.

Hi Helen. Firstly,I love your haircut ! It’s always so interesting to see how people decorate their homes for Christmas and this is the first year I haven’t decorated ours as we will be away in our cottage up in the mountains where I’m looking forward to decorating there instead. I always admire your floristry skills and a swag makes a lovely change from a wreath, infact all your crafting ideas make your festivities so much more personal and special and they really are lovely.Thank you for sharing them with us and I’m certain all your family and friends who visit you over the holidays appreciate all your hard work and beautiful decor. Congratulations to the lucky prize winners!❤️🎄⭐️❄️

I love Christmas so much!!! You have made your home so festive Helen, it all looks really lovely and cheerful. Your hair’s looking great too - I do like it long on you too but I’m sure it’s much quicker and easier to style when it’s shorter. Thanks again for sharing everything you share with all us “Hel’s Belles” and thanks for the reminder…I must stock up on tuna! 😜😂😂😂 (being serious about that actually!) 😆. Looking forward to your next vlog. Mary (Scottish Hel’s Belle living in France) 🤗

What beautiful displays you have created. Bringing greenery in just makes Christmas so special. Love the soldiers: my father was a Grenadier Guard during the war - I have a tiny Pandora guard charm - reminds me of him xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

I wonder if he knew my father in law, wouldn't that be a coincidence! But we'll never know. xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you very much xx

[@PatriciaBanks-vt7db]

Lovely video Helen! I used to do a fresh arrangement on my mental, too and I used a wallpaper tray to put my oasis in which made it easier to add water to. I spray painted the tray gold in case it peeked through the foliage.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Nice idea. Thank you xx

[@suebowie9284]

Fabulous decor Helen! That dark red/burgundy nail polish is lovely. I feel your vulnerability, I too have friends that are not well ❤

[@selinawells9901]

Beautiful swag and the decoration over the fireplace Helen! Your hair looks lovely too! xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Oh, thank you xx

[@jillipepper5353]

We used to have a 6 ft. Wooden wreath shape we made and then added branches, lights, some ornaments and a nice big bow. We hung it over a second story window , it was easy to plug in up there and looked lovely when it was lit up. The neighbours used to say it wasn’t Christmas till we put the wreath up and it wasn’t Valentines till we took it down 🤣😂🫣. Winter depression hit big time after Christmas Day and it put me in a funk until spring started putting out green shoots. These days nothing green shows up till late in May so it’s good I don’t have the wreath anymore. Your swag turned out beautifully 🤩🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Helenmaryjo]

Sounds good. Thank you xx

[@elizabeththompson1720]

Hello Helen, lovely decorations as always. Love your hair shorter it really suits you. I’m about to put up my decorations so I am now inspired. Thank you 🎄❤️

This year is the first time in 44yr's that we won't be hosting our family Cnristmas.
