I’m usually a “don’t start decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving” girl BUT I’m already pondering and planning. Your video was spot on and so helpful. 🎄

I'm itching to start decorating for Christmas. SO EXCITED!

[@katrinamarietorres1438]

Hey Sharrah! I live in the Philippines and we start christmas early! As soon as the ber-months kick in (so SeptemBER 1), everything transforms into christmas; the malls, songs on the radio, etc. I’m already finished with my tree and I think I’ve watched your videos long enough to know to follow our color palette (which I did! Yey to me!). Looking forward to more content from you as I continue to decorate for the holidays!

[@charlotte-yg5yr]

omg ive never seen someone who does it like me, wih ber months!!! jave a good Christmas :))

We are spending the holidays in Europe this year and I thought I was so ready for a break from Christmas decorating (I go a little nuts decorating 🤪🎄⛄️ every year) but watching your video is making me sad I won’t be decorating. I’ve watched you and your mom decorate for years and have gotten lots of good inspiration. Guess I’ll just have to save the ideas for next year!

[@paulaalford5974]

Interesting that you brought up the twinkle lights. I’ve been looking for them for my tree this year. What is the dif in the plug in ones vs battery? Brightness, color, variation of blinking? This is my first time to use them. Thank you in advance!!

We went bauble shopping this morning and right enough there is a sale on . Love Christmas but for us the decorations don't go up till first weekend of December.....cant wait!!! Great video for tips, thank you.

Do you do the decorating yourself or do you have a staff that does it for you?

[@sabatham]

I seriously think I need to light up my family room better! Your home is gorgeous. I rarely buy any Christmas decorations and use what I already have, but our tree is 8 years old already, and I kinda want a prelit one. And to put my tree in the family room instead of the dining room.

Picking my colours I’m having trouble. I know I am doing blush pink and white but I don’t know if I should do gold or silver (they would be glitter accent peace’s ) I am going with a nutcracker ballerina theme and think both would look so nice. Can I mix them having gold with bits of silver. Or is that to much? Idk help!!!!!

[@KristenBrink]

So I picked a color scheme and did a little shopping yesterday. My family was mortified that I got Christmas stuff in October! But in addition to everything you said, I found one of the best things to be the SELECTION! I could basically get anything in any color and not have it picked over or sold out yet! (And I am getting a new artificial tree this year and I’ve started pricing because I want it up next weekend!). I do not fall decorate so I want Christmas to start 11/1!

[@caldrm1]

Good morning Shares Do you use cool white or warm white mini lights ?

[@nathalieconnolly2937]

I’m so excited to see the rest of the Christmas videos 🤩. I noticed the spinners needs you linked need to be plugged into the lights on tree, what lights do you use? I find it hard to find the old school string lights instead of LED these days. 🤔 Or can you recommend battery operated spinners?

[@kellyvarner9211]

Can you link your curtain lights? I can’t find them on the site :)
