Christmas With Me - Part One

[@AnnaMaria-xs3od]

Nicolas, your voice literally lowers my blood pressure! Love your style but, even more, love how grounded and soulful you are. Two qualities much needed in our world at this time. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🙏🏼

[@bsprasad7742]

Serene n peaceful. Nicolas you are a gem.god bless you. Love from India

[@tiffanycorsello1886]

Beautiful tree, Nicolas! I agree with you about modern Christmas traditions being very stressful (and not very much fun). My husband and I have taken on a new tradition these past 3 years- we celebrate 12 Days of Christmas. We start on Christmas day and have special things planned each day until Jan 5th. We liked the Medieval style activities, so we've emulated those: we have special meals on certain days, make fancy drinks, play games, bring lots of greenery into the house, enjoy nature by taking hikes, and make a 12th Night cake. It's more about relaxing and spending time together than it is about gifts (or entertaining). It's a quiet, enjoyable time.

[@robinchurch5658]

The words “all is calm, all is bright” definitely describe your Christmas style! Thank you for DE emphasizing the commercial side of the holidays. Merry Christmas, Nicolas🤗

DEAREST NICOLAS FAIRFORD , HELLO ? HOW DO YOU DO ? MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR . WITH LOVE , PRAYERS , HUGS , AND SWEET KISSES , FROM ME , AND MY FAMILY , " THE ROTHSCHILD'S . " FAREWELL MY DARLING 😊😍😘

[@e.c.refogio3895]

You, being so soft and calm makes me love my softness and stillness too. Living in a world where every man must be seen with too much power and masculinity makes me inferior, and thank you for breaking it for me 🌻

It’s so good to hear Nic speaking properly and quietly ( but still audible) and doing the tree without a frantic speed up sequence. The quiet richness of the room. I’m looking forward to just sitting with my family and dogs (staffies) and watching.

[@TheRayjane]

Nicolas, your tree is just beautiful. I like the fact that you have decorated it with collected items from over the years. It seems recently that people like to do theme trees but I really love yours! It makes a statement of elegance in your beautiful sitting room. The cocktail looks yummy I do love Baileys❤️. Looking forward to more videos from you, I was so excited to see you had uploaded a new one. Yes Christmas has become very commercial...I’d much rather enjoy quiet walks in the brisk winter weather and hot chocolate and sitting admiring the tree...thank you for this video 🙏🏼❤️

[@НаталияПереславцева-ь6э]

I am Russian and my son-in-law was born in Glasgow. He knows how much I love Baileys and every time he comes to Moscow he treats me with Baileys.

[@НаталияПереславцева-ь6э]

I also decorate my New Year tree with collected items, which are the same age with me (73),my daughters and my three grandsons. Some of them (the toys)a re as old as the sea,but the older they are,the dearer for all us.

[@dangerouspea]

Where some people hate dressing the tree, it is my favorite Christmas activity and i just wish i could do that for living! so much joy! i put the vintage Christmas music on, open my special box and get so happy looking at my special decorations, which are an assorted bunch, almost all of them bought separately and on different occasions and so so special. Opening the box once a year I feel like I've found a tenner in a forgotten coat. Happy Festive season!

[@dangerouspea]

Also I always dreamed to get into the New Town gardens to have a peaceful time and see what the people living there can see! So envious

[@jmslife_2476]

Really nice decorations on your Christmas tree. Exited to see your next Christmas video as we get closer and closer to the festive holiday. Have a really nice weekend.

We tend to make Memory Tree s. Some on our ornaments are 75 years old. They are all kinds. No one particular style. Always an Angel on top. I used to use the silver icicles carefully placed. They got to be way more trouble than I had to put them.on and to clean them up after. I give all my grandbabies an ornament every year. Hopefully they won't have to buy them all at once when they put up their own tree someday. I want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing your tree.I lost my Mom recently. I was her care giver for 7 yrs. During that time we scaled back on our everything. Dinners, decorations, trees got smaller, cookies and decorating them with the babies, everything. When she passed I couldn't even put up a tree. I just couldnt celebrate without her. It's still hard....but I am hoping to be able to do all the wonderful things I remember.

Nic, to really love a tree is to keep older ornaments. Every time you open the storage container, you smile and the memories associated with them rush in. This is why so many ornaments are now “Vintage” and cherished. Keep the beautiful old ones. Start a tradition.
