This is exactly the kind of Christmas content I needed today. I'm sorry life hit you like a bus lately but I'm glad things are on the mend! I hope you and yours have a great holiday tomorrow

[@debbieworth7865]

Ching any of your videos but especially this one brings back old nostalgia feelings. Being a widow and being alone can hurt at times, tjis video with all the music and a vup of tea or coffee is just perfect. Thank you so much for doing this. You don't know this but you are helping to heal a broken and lonely heart ❤

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh that was beautiful. Thank you for bringing a chill vibe to this Christmas Eve. I definitely needed it.

[@billiewallace6591]

What a lovely video! I enjoyed your kitty and kiddies. I know it is a frantic time for you and your bathroom flood could not have been at a worse time. Please don't be discouraged. We have all been there also and truly understand. Merry Christmas to you and your precious family. God bless!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Hehe I wish I’d been able to do a voice over. I was going to chat about how Huckleberry (the cat) pretends to hate us all but he follows me like a shaodow. Merry Christmas, friend!

[@pamelabrooker9567]

Like anything from you.

[@Carmen-nq8ex]

Just lovely. I think just the music made it more magical and relaxing. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄🎅🎁❄

[@bronazlin4955]

Hi georgiousnesss ,you are just darling ❤ I'm on my own journey to slow down, appreciate all the blessings, declutter life. I really appreciate your vlog

[@zeusathena26]

I loved it! The ornaments are my favorite! Take some time off, & we will see you when we do. Merry Christmas, & a Happy New Year. May the next year go better than this one!

[@TheTritty1]

I loved this! The music only was perfect and the content was wonderful. I’d love more videos just like this on different themes. 🥰

[@missyrose2450]

Hang in there , god bless! And Happy New year! Delightful video🥰

[@kathleenmcmahonphone363]

Yeah, we had that holiday season we'll laugh about someday. But sometimes they do make the best memories. Seeing their faces your kids will just remember the magic you made.

[@kristenwilliams7995]

This was such a cozy, sweet video to watch! It definitely put me in the Christmas spirit. Thank you for all your hard work & putting beautiful videos together for us all year! I hope you & your family have a very merry Christmas & wonderful new years! ❤️

[@candiciesinski]

What a lovely video :) I definitely enjoyed watching this as I drank my tea! I know you didn't get to do all that you wanted to do but what you put together was wonderful. I love the handmade decorations!

[@debbieworth7865]

Another tea drinker, yeah!!!!!! Merry Christmas when it comes❤

[@AM-bm2xw]

Lovely video Kristina! Blessings to you and your family in the New Year

[@laurawestenra]

I love this style of video. It was so immersive and relaxing. It kind of reminds of those Mister Rogers videos where you would watch crayons being made with thoughtful piano music in the background. ☺️💜

[@WithLoveKristina]

Oh I’m so glad!

[@SweetieSuzanne]

Another gorgeous video ❤ I adore the cello music used in chapter 4 for the walk? Can you share the name of the song and artist?

[@undercoverastrology]

I loved the music and that "the coat" made an appearance! 😍

[@preciousypenguino]

Family traditions are so satisfying ❤ I do most of the stuff now, but my mom is still queen of the mantle and Nativity. The music in chapter 4 was so beautiful... cello?? They make me want to cry for some reason. Merry Christmas Eve to all!🥰🎄

[@Lcalvert66]

Good job on the mantle! I love your little family! It’s awesome you get to be a stay at home mom.. merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@TwoFourJoy]

Lovely as ever. Xx

[@missgingerjones]

I loved the vibe of this video very much. The music was perfect and I love the vibe so much!

[@Secondhand.Lauren]

Thank you for taking the time to share this video. My soul needed this on Christmas Eve today. Not the Christmas season I was anticipating this year either. Hope you and your family have a beautiful Christmas Day tomorrow. ❤️

[@WithLoveKristina]

Christmas season has been strange this year for sure. I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@lizbear8671]

What a wonderful video, thank you for taking the time to do it...I love the calming music. Also, how you show the beauty on your walk of the small things that we tend to rush by. I forgot all about making salt dough ornaments as a child & can't wait to make dried oranges. They were so pretty in the window as the light shone thru them. Thanks Kristi & Merry Christmas to you & your family!

[@WhitneyLBehen]

Love all your videos.

[@wendyolmeda5069]

Well I really enjoyed the video. Sorry that all this chaos hit you at once, I happen to think you handled it awesomely. Dont worry about content. Enjoy Christmas. Heal mind body soul... then when you're ready everything will fall into place. Your children are adorable ♡ I've never cut a tree for Christmas maybe I'd like to try. Stay well. W

[@WithLoveKristina]

Haha end of the year chaos, here’s hoping 2022 is much better!

[@StarspangledHeart]

Thanks for sharing your holiday festivities with us. It was lovely! I’m glad you were still able to fit in some traditions with your family even with all the craziness going on. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Day and wishing you all the best in 2022!

[@ailsadixon408]

This is beautiful, things never go the way you expect and I'm so sorry that life has been so intense lately. Sending you and your beautiful family lots of love and light for a calm and content holiday xxxxx

Love this - your family are adorable! I've just come out of isolation as I had Covid, so I'm not feeling very festive this year and this video definitely helped to spread some Christmas cheer. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas :)

Merry Christmas gratitude for sharing with us

Thank you for sharing your family. Merry Christmas

[@tinalehr3481]

I love all your videos but these Christmas ones are my favorites so far. Brought back a lot of good memories of growing up in a big family and all the things our Mom did to make Christmas day extra special. Picking out a fresh tree with our Dad was extra special too. Lovely festive videos!

[@amber7253]

So fun to watch . I wish our Christmas tree farms were as beautiful we just get a lions club that parks on the local ice cream shop and sells them 🤷❤️ I have a question what size is your refrigerator just because I'm looking into getting a new one to go with my beautiful beautiful teal 1950 replica appliances?

[@raquelnasser5290]

What a beautiful video. Love the little ones helping to look for a tree. You will always cherish those precious moments as I have when my babies were little. Merry Christmas to you and your family, God Bless! Much love ❤

Joyeux Noël.

[@Elleclouse1]

Thank you for this. My end of year has been rough as well with my sewer line backing up into my basement and then a month later having to replace my furnace. This was relaxing and nostalgic and wonderful. I might try orange slices next year to up my decoration game.

[@caroledavis5203]

That was beautiful!

I need to learn do do this, hah!

@@WithLoveKristina I'm not a big fan of Cathy Hay but I found her darning tutorial useful. I also have alot of leeway for mistakes since it's a puffy chenille fabric.

[@charlenesalyers7888]

wear some black stockings next time, It will look more old fashion and make your legs look slimmer.

[@WithLoveKristina]

I’m not trying to look slimmer.

[@susangridley8354]

😱🥺 Oh, dear!

[@charlenesalyers7888]

Black Stocking would Look Nicer, Regardless with the black boots.

[@TwoFourJoy]

Maybe keep your comments to yourself.

[@WithLoveKristina]

@@charlenesalyers7888 with all gentleness, this video is very obviously not in any way focused on my style. I have plenty of videos where style ideas would be welcomed! But as this video wasn’t focused on style, nor did I ask, and there are MANY videos where I voice my stance on body positivity. It came across as a bit rude to insert that I should wear xyz garment to look slimmer because five inches of my bare leg showed for ten seconds in this video. I hope you understand. It’s not upset me in any way but the idea that you have to look smaller to be fashionable is deeply rooted in fatphobia and it’s something we all need to unlearn ❤️ and, when a video is not in any way focused on style it’s a bit odd to fixate on a small portion of something that has nothing to do with the content.
