🎄CHRISTMAS DECORATE W/ ME 2023! | *cozy* simple vintage holiday decor ideas | cleaning motivation

[@danielle4033]

I'm typically a silent, but dedicated viewer. But I have to say how much I enjoy your videos and content. I've been going through many health struggles and these videos help me get through the tough times. Thank you for that!

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

May God continue to bless you and heal you. I’m a mama for with health struggles, and you’re not alone. Keep hope, keep encouraged. 🩵🙏✨

[@lizdoss6300]

Natalie, you are the Mr. Rogers of KZbin. Thanks for bringing warmth and cheery vibes ❤

[@samanthakwait8782]

A very accurate description❤

[@samanthakwait8782]

In regards to Christmas decor. I usually only add a few things to my collection each year and I always declutter some out when going through my precious decor. It all keeps me reigned in when we are bombarded with so much decor in the store. And my parents always put colored lights on our trees as a kid so I do colored as well.

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

Love the kids hiding away into the tree bag! 😂❤❤❤ Only this age once. We’re always saying that and savoring the childlike playfulness. Found your channel years away when expecting my twins who are now 7. 🤗🎄

[@amymcminn2004]

Picturing you as a little kid around your grandparents table and then seeing you now decorating it and continue their tradition in your own home all grown up just brought tears to my eyes. I always feel like I can just connect with you in your videos. They’re not just a decorating video, they actually have heart and meaning. I’ve had a pretty rough and chaotic day as a homeschool mom to three boys where everything just wasn’t going right. Attitudes and tensions were high. Sitting down with your videos on Tuesdays brings me so much peace and helps me reset. Thank you!! I’ve been here for years and even my kids know you because I also have a son named Liam who loves Minecraft. He even said, “I want to go to where they live and meet them and be their friends.” 🥰 You are special to our family!

[@SarahNottonson]

Such a wholesome comment all the way around. ❤️

[@brittanyk3241]

I also had tears in my eyes. Reminded me of thanksgivings and christmases long past at my grandparents. They also put the tree up (on thanksgiving) and let all the grandkids decorate ❤.

[@Jessie90ish]

“Focus on the senses. What do you want your children to see? smell? Hear? Taste? Feel?” I don’t know who said this, but it really helped me hone in on what I was striving for as far as memories for my children during this magical season. It can be so overwhelming to make it special. But if you focus on the senses, it allows you to see it from a minimal perspective. I want them to see a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations they recognize year after year. I want them to smell the baked goods and candles. Touch the wreathes and crafts we make. Hear the Christmas music. Taste great grandmas empire biscuits. It doesn’t have to be overwhelming ❤ Thanks for another fun cozy video!

[@JessicaWarner-t4j]

You can tell in the first 10 seconds how thrilled you are to make this content. It's so sweet.

[@mirandabain1083]

I'm so glad your Pateron is going so well because your content is always so clean and relaxing to watch. Thank you so much as well for still posting here on KZbin for the mommas who can't afford it quite yet! You are doing amazing, have a great Thanksgiving!

[@aphraell]

There was laundry to fold long overdue and guess what, Natalie is always an inspiration to get things done 💕🎄

[@diannaalex09]

The holidays can get so overwhelming sometimes, especially with everything around us influencing us to go out and buy new shiny things , convincing us that we need them , we really don’t, thank you for reminding me of that today , love the simplicity of your videos inviting us to slow down and simply enjoy the season with our loved ones .. nothing else is needed..

[@shannonhiggins2102]

Natalie, thank you for sharing your grandparents legacy with us! It’s truly so endearing to hear how you speak of them. God bless you and your family this holiday season! ❤

[@hannahrace7315]

I love that my husbands grandma takes all of us shopping to pick out our gifts and grab lunch with us! Then she takes them home and wraps them up for our family Christmas. ❤

[@kellydonley3681]

When I was young I remember saying "I will never be too cool for colored lights" and sure enough as I matured, I found myself gravitating towards white lights, but I refused to abandon my younger self, so for over 15 years I've been wrapping the inside of the tree, closer to the trunk with colored lithts and white on the outside. I love it! It has the elegance of the white lights with the beautiful sparkles of color shining out from the inside. It's beautiful! I love that you have discovered that style too. 🎄

[@miarenee6703]

That’s a very cool idea!

[@acidburn6778]

I love the simplicity of your decorating. It reminds me of my home growing up. Me husband and I have opposite decorating tastes. He loves all the glitter and twinkle and I love the simple. It nice to see someone on KZbin that decorates the way I love. Thank you for being you and just giving a peaceful place to come and decompress

[@paytongeorge1]

This video was such a dream! So cozy. I lost my sweet Nana this summer and I’m already feeling the tension of this first holiday season without her, but adding touches of her decor and using her china for our Thanksgiving dinner feels like a sweet way to honor her memory. 🤎

[@Krista_Rose7]

I just have to say, thank you for showing the dirt. I love how relatable yet peaceful your videos are!

[@OMGitsaClaire]

I grew up in a colored lights household. We even had bubble lights on our tree growing up. And our tree was filled with colorful kid craft project ornaments, things my mom’s students gave her, and a collection of Santas riding various animals. But as an adult, I like white lights and while my tree is still full of handmade ornaments and things I’ve picked up traveling, I have a color scheme of natural tones plus red and white. I live in a small space, and having a defined color scheme just feels less chaotic to me.

[@destinyallington6069]

You are amazing, Natalie. You have encouraged me so much over the years. I love watching and listening to your videos. I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🎄

[@mirandatremayne5038]

🎄 I love your memories attached to your table and how much this time of year can be beautiful in that!

[@marylenhastings6533]

We have white lights on our Christmas trees! I enjoyed watching your children help you decorate the tree. 🎄 Cute mushroom holiday garland! You are an inspiration to us by sharing your wonderful memories of your grandparents.

[@sarahvacca9363]

I think you modeling the virtue of hospitality like your grandparents did is truly a special gift to those who you host.

[@Kris-pw4gp]

What fantastic and refreshing video. Your videos are so inspiring and have a cozy feel to them. I had to watch the tree assembly twice because your kids were having such a great time - from helping to decorate to playing in the tree storage bag (that made me laugh). How thankful I am for the way that you share the things you do and that you obviously have such a deep love for God and your family. I know you must be an amazing friend to have. I will continue my decluttering journey as I am able to experience the freedom, peace and gratitude that continues to grow...Blessings to you and your family! 🎄💟

[@Lola.sweets]

Always love it when your momma joins!

[@sylvettemaricot3836]

We have a natural tree and white light. But we don't decorate this early in France

[@Cecily-Pimprenelle]

Same country, same kind of lights, but a fake tree. We do decorate later in the year (this year it’ll be the first weekend of December) but I think we keep our decorations longer (until at least the 6th of January. I was surprised the first time I realised some Americans found it natural to un-decorate the day after Christmas - or at least it felt so!) That being said, some municipalities around us have begun to install tgeir lights, even thoigh they’re not yet lit.

[@jaclynmoylan1905]

I do white lights because it seems less chaotic to me, but I do like to look at the trees with colored lights at friends and family’s houses. For me at home to see it every day, white is more calming 🤷‍♀️

[@rachelnorthrup9576]

I love your mindset shift that you don't have to clean your whole house before decorating anything. You mentioned that last year I think and I remembered that when I wanted to put up my tree this year and it helped it be a much more joyful experience 😁

[@okjessicah]

We are decorating for Christmas this weekend, and I am so excited to have our home transform into a magical wonderland.

[@tajabjerregaard3099]

Warm white light- always 🌲🤗

[@lindsaykjoy]

🎄 There’s so much to love in this video- the gentle motivation, the encouragement of putting up your tree first, the wonderful music (love Charlie Brown! And I love how you had “crackly” music playing when you showed your record player ☺️), the charming decor, and most of all, the sharing of heartwarming memories and moments that will soon become lovely memories. ❤❤ p.s. I’m a white light girl but my husband grew up with colored lights, so we do colors on the tree, but white everywhere else 😁

[@Jacquirubsam]

I love that you have the Jackie Hill Perry Devotional! Its soooo good!

[@gailpepper1201]

I love the music you play in your videos. It's very soothing to the soul

[@staceymartinez3388]

I love hearing your memories of your grandparents. My husband and I are now grandparents and I strive for the memories we will make so one day when we are no longer here, my grandkids will think back and have great memories of us 🥰🥲

[@lolawilliams3244]

You're dinning room table is just beautiful...

[@lizzieamw4977]

My favorite decorate with me for all seasons! I love these videos of reusing decor and not buying all new. Everything looks beautiful!

[@barb_from_catpolis989]

Weston is the BESTon! 😄 everything turned out gorgeous, happy holly dayz!🥰

[@annagibbons5949]

I have 2 trees for our house. One I got when I was in uni and the other is the "grown up" tree. My tree has ALL the lights. White, colour, and last year led change lights that can be programmed that I spent a lot on. Buy are awesome. The "grown up" one has 1 set of both cool and warm white led lights. Decor wise my tree looks like a unicorn vomited glitter all over it, anything goes as long as I like it, and the house one is neutrals and pastel natural colours.

[@katiehamilton3915]

That Snoopy sweater brings me joy :) GGAAAHHH THE R2D2 ORNAMENNTTT!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Also, your coffee tee you're wearing in the "second day" clips is the cutest!! Your exclaiming while you cleaned the window sill had me rolling- so glad I'm not the only mom that cleans that way lol

[@ladyhawk2562]

I would love to see what types of food you and the fam put together for your holiday gatherings. 😊

[@w1f2h3]

Years ago you did a video with stocking stuffer ideas. I would love if you did another one now that your kiddos are bigger ( we have kids similar age) ❤

[@katelyndee1113]

We call the kids section of the table “The Riff Raf Table”. It’s something my dad grew up with. Thanksgiving to me is 40 people in “the studio”, an uninsulated room off of a family home with a huge fireplace, covered with art, a piano in the corner, looking over the Atlantic in Maine. We gather around that fireplace after a family football game on the beach, with pie and coffee and guitars. Family is magic, I hope you can enjoy time with yours oh so much 🤍

[@bridiewright1519]

Reading between the lines Natalie you're still grieving your grandparents, that's absolutely fine, I'm still grieving mum after 3 years, you're a lovely person ❤

[@sheilanuss5653]

My family tradition is always having a fondue with my kids on Christmas Eve!

[@melissapfahl6085]

Always had colored lights growing up and so did my husband. I love the look of a white light tree without any ornaments and if I put my tree up early, that's usually what I keep it on. Which is why I love our tree that changes from white lights to colored lights! It also fades in and out, blinks, all the fun things!

[@RitaVernoy]

Thank you for taking the time to share your holiday memories and your love for our Lord.

[@constancebailey5133]

Your family stories are beUtiful

[@tanyademillo8695]

I hope I am making sweet memories for my grandkids like my grandparents did for me. I love that you keep your family history and memories alive for your kids.🥰

[@ErinNDo]

🎄merry Christmas Natalie and Fam!!❤ God Bless your family with Joy and Light!

[@susanlawson5926]

Love your tree U bought for the New Home❣️

[@Punkypurplechaos]

The fact I’ve been scrolling my for you page all morning looking for something to watch and KZbin didn’t suggest your video is honestly criminal 😂 had to dig through my subscriptions to find it

[@Chell1496]

🎄 Hi Natalie! So excited for this video but just like all of your videos! ❄️ Fun festive decor! 🎄 Love how you do you and your own thing and your never worrying about what every one else is doing on You Tube etc. and for how genuine you are. ❄️

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

🎄Rewatching some of your past cozy Christmas videos😊

[@NatalieBennett]

So glad you are enjoying them! ♥️

[@alyssasoja3015]

Natalie... You totally called me out with the laundry mountain! 😂 I love watching your videos while folding my laundry mountain

[@SauerPatchGardening]

We have a tree that has both colored & white lights, it has a remote and you can use them separately or together and can change from solid color to 3 different blinking options. I love it.

[@lanakelley2893]

Love that you and Hailey are wearing matching red ribbons in your hair! Precious :)

[@sarahholbrow8203]

We do coloured lights, I prefer white but my husband likes coloured. He rarely ever gives an opinion on decorations in our house so when he does I listen!

[@kellyturner4571]

I lost my grandparents, 2 weeks apart, in 2019. After nearly 70 years together one simply couldn’t live without the other. I’ve hosted Christmas since, and even though it’s not the same, I try to make it as special as they did.

[@brookeparler7452]

I prefer white but kiddos and husband love colored so I default to that for them! 🎄

[@lisakfst]

This Video is soooo calming 😌🫶🏼 and i Love that you Call it „i spy with my little eye…“ 🥹 in Germany we say something like „ i see something you don’t See and that is…“ 😂

[@catharinabra]

We have white lights in our tree 🎄 and of course We always use the same decorations. It’s a process every year to unpack and talk about the memories we have ”with” our decorations. My favourite holiday tradition is bakning gingerbread cookies, I used to do it with my grandma and my sisters growing up and now I do it with my kids and sometimes friends kids as well #premierefam

[@Mommallamma1238]

Every year we pack our kiddos up in their Christmas PJ's and drive around to look at our local neighborhood's Christmas lights. It's probably my favorite tradition! Someone around the corner from us always sets their lights to a musical display- so beautiful! #premierefam

[@amberr737]

Your home is beautiful! I love how cozy everything is! Your videos always bring so much joy🙏

[@katrinschulte279]

A warm ans lovely Hello from Germany 🥰🎄I love your Christmas decoration videos. In my family we have special traditions. We still decorate after the “death Sunday”. Our Christmas tree is a real tree, he moved into our living room not before the 22. December and stays there till the 6. January. My favorite colors are red, green and white. Except in the Entry there are the main colors white and grey.There will be a Scandinavian winter wonderland. Most of my traditions are from my Grandparents, and I hope they always have a big smile in their faces when they see from above that their traditions are still alive. My girls are 20, 16 and 13 and they are obsessed with this season, our traditions and all the little surprises I will do in this time😍. I wish you, your family and everyone who read this a peaceful and joyful season. 🎄🥰

[@user-cd1xv2yj2h]

🎄 loved this video!! So festive!! Your “what I got my kids for for Christmas” video last year was what got me hooked on your channel!❤ can’t wait for this year’s video! My kids are quite a bit younger than yours (almost 3, and 1) but I still love that sort of video. Thank you for always motivating me and helping me feel like it’s a good time to “get on up” and get something done😊

[@michelleb.7181]

Goodness Natalie! Of course you have a special flair for Christmas (Natale)🎄I was nearly in tears when you were talking about your grandparents and their special warmth. You absolutely have a magical home. I know you don’t strive for perfection but you come dang close! 😘🎅🏼

[@SnS91099]

I grew up on colored lights, but since getting married it's always been white lights, just prefer it now😊

[@melissapadbury28]

#premierefam 🎄 My favorite family Christmas tradition is the giving manger we made a few years ago. When I find a child doing something kind, helpful, generous, loving, etc. they place some straw in a wooden manger on our table. They fill it for Baby Jesus on Christmas Day 🤍

[@AliceStanley-i5w]

You are lookin pretty cute in that green dress ❤

[@teresaderus5629]

🎄Hi! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@pauleengould998]

You make us feel warm welcome and cared about online so I can only imagine how lovely it would be to attend your family celebrations

[@valerienelson3296]

Its always so nice to see the kids taking part in everything. I see less & less of that. ❤ You have a coat hubby has shorts. Love it😅

[@ericagoehring1089]

White lights all the way!!! 😊 Thanks for a cozy video!

[@susan06860]

#premierefam my favorite tradition is taking the time to watch our Christmas movies. We settle in to a relaxing evening...actually several evenings throughout December and laugh and watch our favorites. No matter our age it takes us back many years that we first watched these as a family.

[@SharaLee60]

Happy Thanksgiving Natalie & your family. I loved the story about your Grandparents & the table you have now, that was there & how you loved when you went there for the holidays! I had grandmas no grandpa's. They lived far away. But I do miss my parents, they were always there for me. We had pretty good Thanksgiving & Christmas's. We even had the silver Christmas 🎄 tree, with the rotating light. It was ok. Different, I inherited it when I got married. It worked for awhile. But I remember those Christmas's very special. I love your porch. You & your daughter & of course the kitty, so sweet. I do love your thrity little ornaments! Thanks so much for letting us be with you decorating your home. Have a beautiful weekend!❤️☺️🫂🐾🐈‍⬛🎄🎅🤶🦃🍾🎉

[@aNewCadence]

Love all your videos! And I have a question: Any chance you’ll bring back your holiday decorate collabs from a few years ago? Those were so special!

[@LivingMindfullyWithEve]

I love your channel so much Natalie! I have little girls and just started my KZbin channel and I was having a hard time trying to figure out to create content with being a mom and seeing how you have your kids apart of everything really helps me be realistic with my situation. Thank you for the continued company and inspiration.

[@jessiescott92]

I look forward to these style of videos every single year from you. Such a warm, feel good style and the music makes me feel all the emotions!

[@Pjmacful]

🎄🍄🎄You are such a beautiful inspiration ❣️ I agree with you, it’s much more enjoyable to clean and decorate with a treasured friend. May you all have a peaceful, loving, and joyful celebration ❣️

[@melindaannunziata6478]

🎄great video 🎄amazing family🎄Merry Christmas 🎄

[@kristynfedich8926]

🎄always love the gentle motivation. We started decorating slowly…it’s perfect. Thanks, Natalie!

[@alishaoneill922]

🎄 I love to leave my fall/Thanksgiving stuff up until after Thanksgiving! For the past few years we have put up our tree before Thanksgiving. We have Thanksgiving dinner at our house so love the fall decor to still be up! We use a pre lit tree with white lights and then we usually add colored lights to it, but last year we used all white! I love a lot of lights! We are going to try to get our tree up before Thanksgiving this year not sure if we will go with more white or colored lights this year!?! Lol! Love Weston’s Christmas decorating outfit! 😅And love that you share your Faith! ❤ Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@pattyadams2338]

You and Westin are a blessing to your family and friends. So many traditions have fallen by the wayside as our elders pass on. I always loved how my Mom did holidays. Simple yet elegant. Miss my parents especially during the holidays. Many blessings to all! 🎄

[@tink268]

What a wholesome video. God bless your family❤

[@tracycook7355]

Your home looks beautiful love the free and white lights are my favourite can't have sparkling as they give me migraine

[@BallroomJenni]

I have a prelit Christmas tree that is white lights, and I bought a Tree Dazzler (one of those as seen on TV products that actually works!) It is a ring of light strands that you put on the top of the tree and it hangs down, and you can change those lights to a ton of different settings, everyone in my family loves it!

[@minimalzebra]

The vintage art is so pretty throughout the home.

[@marissaackerman4393]

I love that you mix Thanksgiving and Christmas! I host Thanksgiving every year but love to enjoy Christmas decor for a longer time. so, I mix it as well. You don’t see if very often in social media. Your tree is so special, that’s the kind of Christmas I grew up having and I hope to do the same for my children. The memories that the ornaments hold are so special and make it feel warm and homey. 🎄🎄

[@wendystahlke]

Beautiful job Natalie have a great week love all the Christmas decor my favorite time of year! 🎄⭐️

[@MissingMayberry]

We have the same Bing Crosby album and played it while decorating ❤❤❤ such a vibe

[@emilyharper9294]

Your videos are always so inspiring. You can feel how welcoming and beautiful your home is! My favorite tradition with my little ones is looking at all the lights and watching them color pictures for family #premeirefam

[@wheelchere]

I love ALL the colors :D

[@hannahrobarge638]

My favorite tradition is cheese fondue, mini weenies, and the mostly untouched veggie tray for Christmas Eve dinner. It gives me all the feels and I love that I am passing that on and bringing it into my little family.

[@ErinNDo]

You inspired me to put up my tree tomorrow without first making it perfectly organized and orderly in my home❤. Hearing how that gave so much cheer before the cleaning for you ,gave me the push to do it! I’ve been wanting to since November 6 anyways! ❤🎄

[@nontobekoxaba9886]

Excited for the upcoming video on what you got your kids for Christmas🎉

[@karenstairs8273]

I am having my first every Thanksgiving Tree. It's going up tomorrow! Fall is my favorite season.

[@laurenamaral6964]

Natalie Bennett, you are the QUEEN OF COZY!!

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

🎄I love all your decors ideas! I was going to ask you about doing the rod thing in the upper window in your livingroom, but I like the doorway better! Since living in the motorhome, my holidays are very small looking to keep it that way, but I have saved so many things for when we need to get a home again!

[@noumeamanue]

When my favourite youtuber starts her christmas content, i feel so happy. Time to start our decor too. Thanks Natalie !

[@cindyanderson8509]

🎄 okay - I just want to say that out of the videos I’ve watched this year - this is my favorite! I love your videos.

[@cherylmark1503]

Natalie I am the same as you. We spent do much time with my grandparents especially around the holidays. My grandma had a rollaway table. The ends would roll out and make a huge table. All my cousins, aunts and uncles would be there and it was wonderful. Great memories ❤️🎄🦃

[@cherylmark1503]

Another wonderful video Natalie. That front porch is so inviting!
