Christmas Decorate With Me! Christmas Village, Staircase Garland, & Nativity - Decorating Ideas

[@Megwhitebutterfly1111]

I'm glad to have stumbled upon this very cozy channel at such an ugly time... finally starting to feel the magic ❤

[@jannibal9273]

I love what you do, because it comes straight from your heart. That's the way decorating always should be -- not the latest "trends,"; not the latest "ooooo haaaaa!"; but decor, for whatever season, and for year round living, that speaks to our hearts and whispers "Yes, this is you, and others will love it." I love it, nothing more to say.

Grand idea hanging the stockings with shower curtain hangers onto the garland onto the bannister's railing.. Thank-you for sharing with us.. reviewed this part with my Granddaughter of 7 years who was questioning where everyone's stocking will go? I said I have an idea from your totorial.. so she watched and listened and said , do you have enough shower curtain hooks 🪝.. as we have 10 to hang.. Thanks again for your gentle teaching of your stocking decorating. GiGi & Lily

[@Patricia-k7o1t]

Beautiful. I must say it's one of the prettiest i've seen

[@sherriianiro747]

You are so lucky to have inherited the Nativity your grandfather made - they took very good care of it. Love the fact you switch things out every year too!

[@mashelly1000]

Beautiful home! Your decorations are gorgeous. We have a banister exactly like yours. I used to wrap the garland around the handrail, but after falling down every. single. stair one year....I will NEVER do that again! 🤕 I now put my garland up like you did. As for securing our stockings, we put medium/large cup hooks under the railing, in between the spindles. You can't see them, because they're hidden by the garland. Those hooks have held the heaviest stockings! When you remove them, they leave the tiniest hole, which isn't visible since it's under the banister. When Christmas is over, we put the cup hooks in a small baggie and tuck them into a stocking. That way, the hooks are stored with the stockings and we don't have to replace them every year. Love your videos! 🎄

[@richardsanty9063]

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Owner.

[@anaortiz4003]

Everything turned out beauuutiful, when I need inspiration and ideas I just have to look for your videos; timeless, elegance and unique style is what distinguish you love it; thank you for sharing and God bless you and your family 🤗

[@gr8tpumkin]

This was so nice to watch. Loved the normal pace at which you filmed, instead of speeding everything up. I enjoy seeing shorter clips of real time. It felt like we were there with you, chatting and hanging out while the decorations were put out. I so look forward to all of your videos. Thanks for the time and effort you put into everything. It really shows, and to me you stand out amongst others with your unique, warm, genuine love for home, family, and decorating. I especially love how you share family anecdotes. Merry Christmas, Christopher!

Que bonito decora lo felisito

[@carolinemunro1557]

Love it all looks beautiful 😍 but Marshmallow made it very special singing away in the back ground 🎄

[@mimzyc9949]

Beautiful. I love Christmas villages. They take me back to my childhood and let me pretend I live in them

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

Love it all! You need a special star to go on top of the manger scene...

[@jillbruce3624]

The staircase came out so sweet. The acorn garland has to be one of my favorites. Your guests are going to love it. I appreciate your love for your grandparents' nativity. Christmas decorations passed down through generations are so special. As always, looking forward to what comes next.

[@thejudgmentalcat]

Marshmallow has opinions! So sweet (got my cat's attention 😳) Can't wait to see everything in your house lit up at night 🌟

[@katrina4013]

Don't forget the mandarine orange in the toe of the stocking it fills it out nicely! Its been a family tradition for generations in our family.

[@isabelmunoz7462]

La escalera quedó bellísima!!! La verdad, todo quedó precioso, eres un artista. Gracias por el video.

[@isabelmunoz7462]

BRAVO!!!!!

[@yolandamarshall872]

Everything looks beautiful! I really enjoyed hearing Marshmallow! He was so sweet! TFS

[@Jessedenise84]

I always love how you always incorporate your family heirlooms to make such nostalgic vignettes. Such a loving heart. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@antonellaquarticelli3059]

Il villaggio è bellissimo come tutte le cose che fai e anche il canto degli uccellini è soave❤😊

[@Sables123]

You are my favorite to watch. Amazing the numerous talents you have and it comes from your heart and shows in all your displays. Always magazine!

[@d.l.n.7133]

When l was little , we would have great fun in wrapping my father’s Christmas presents in strangely shaped boxes. He loved to pick up a box , shake it , then try to guess what his gift was , he was usually correct , UNTIL, we got wise and used the bigger ( or smaller ) boxes . Fun Christmas memories… now to put up my village !

[@jenniferholston8650]

Your navity from your Grandparents is lovely. What a treasure!

[@martavelna7670]

It is a labor of love and you have such a big heart. I love you decorating talent. Enjoy the holiday and your family.

[@toothaching]

Everything looks wonderful. Buuuuuut little Marshmallow 100% stole the show. :)

[@honestcomments6060]

DEFINITELY my favorite house, Christmas decor and videos. It has a feel like its "back in the day". Cozy, elegant, perfect choice of colors. Just wonderful .

[@kcotjo]

Your home looks lovely. I really love the nativity creche that your grandfather built. How special that you now enjoy it. The staircase looks great!! May God bless you during this Christmas season!!

[@helenesholidayhome3566]

Everything is beautiful as usual. I absolutely love the nativity from your grandparents ❤

[@Coldstone8418]

You are so creative! It’s wonderful to watch you put everything together. 💚❤️🤍Your house is just absolutely incredibly beautiful. How sweet little marshmallow is singing away. 💓 Marshmallow is so happy that you’re there in the room with him, he wants to sing you a song and tell you a story❤

[@katheywhearley7953]

I just love you you’re such a nice person! Glad I found your channel! I’m so happy you have a wonderful life! ❤️❤️❤️

[@patricenocerino3249]

Thank you for sharing your family treasures with us. Such special memories.

[@soniaalvarado5372]

Marshmallow sounds so happy! I love the chirping and singing ❤

[@gaiaguerrieri3424]

Perfetto, la tradizione del presepe per chi è cristiano cattolico, ma non solo...il villaggio natalizio sempre più presente nelle case, uniti a tutte le decorazioni classiche e tradizionali che ogni anno trovano una espressione differente nella creatività. Tutto molto bello.

[@soaponyt1850]

Beautiful video! I loved the sounds of your sweet Marshmallow!

[@Jeannified]

Marshmallow talking while you we’re putting g up the nativity scene was just the cutest!!!

[@mvrooks]

i love the shower hook idea for the stockings. i never would have thought of that!❤

[@minarosered6699]

I'm sure I will enjoy watching this video next week. I love fall and I always feel cheated because it only seems to last for one month in October. Then everyone blasts you with Christmas. So I have this saved and I will watch it December 1st!

[@deborahpellerito6117]

I agree

[@minarosered6699]

@@deborahpellerito6117 I will watch Christopher's wonderful Autumn and Halloween videos until December 1st!

[@kathiee.2013]

You've inspired me to bring out my Christmas village this year, after having it packed away for years! My kids are grown, and I tried to give them the village, but they don't want it! I talked my husband into putting up shelves over my lowboy (similar to your first Christmas village video). And Buffalo snow is the perfect finishing touch.

[@doriseguiluz6653]

Que tristeza tampoco se que pasará con la mía 😔pues los hijos crecen y les parece anticuado conservar algunas cositas del baúl .Pero son tan hermosas!

[@miriantalbot6772]

Used a cloth of plastic tablecloth to wrap that big items it will make two gift at once!! Always a joy to see all your decorations.. So beautiful and classy!!

[@dianecote3136]

Oh I forgot love love love the staircase !!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gailmartin3731]

Everything was just lovely. I got teared up when you put up your nativity scene. My dad bought mine years ago right after I got married. I have always put it up and so look forward to doing so. Thank you again for all these great ideas.

[@sandratompkins6950]

Howdy from Texas.I love your home.How blessed you are to have such a beautiful place to live in.You have such a great style for decor.You make your home so inviting.May God bless and Merry Christmas.

[@leslieW5177]

I love marshmallow!! He was excited that you were decorating his room. ❤️🎄your grandparents nativity is beautiful..rustic ❤️

[@blancawingert1519]

Absolutely gorgeous decorations .My favorite the village .

[@susanmacdonald4288]

What lovely decorations! And I love that you even re-use the same straw in the nativity scene that your granparents used. That's something that I would do.

[@dianecote3136]

Absolutely love your nativity ❤️💕❤️💕❤️

[@elizabethmiranda2128]

I love the stocking, and the village is gorgeous. I hope you have a great Christmas 🎄 with friends and families. Can't wait to see the Christmas tour.All my love and blessings ❤️

[@esthermarcen7587]

I like the chickens, I normally put loads of animals in my nativity as my parents and grandparent did, and my kids love it. I like the birds in the background

[@richiej5884]

Besides watching you decorate your beautiful house, I loved hearing Marshmallow sing! That brought such joy! And I love hearing all about the family stories and the history behind a lot of your decorations. As always, a beautiful job! 💛💛💛

[@joannallen1989]

I love hearing Marshmallow tweeting and talking. Everything looks lovely!

[@annemaxwell9975]

Very tastefully done, and I particularly love the mix of vintage with new and keeping family traditions front and centre.

[@marymiller2652]

Your videos are always so relaxing and I love to see your talent with each season! My husband came in when you put the snow on the village and he said.."Don't even think about it" 😂. Thanks for sharing!

[@dianebaker5243]

Love everything you showed us. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

[@horses2by]

Gorgeous little happy Marshmallow. Maybe for your coat hook present you could use two long gift boxes(cut the middle bits to fit together) then wrap it with Christmas paper 🎄🎄

[@mrob75]

Hi Christopher…Thank you for keeping things so real…For example having to add more reinforcement onto the stairwell garland…And …The untidy areas, at least for now, around your home. So many of us can relate to that. I’m excited for your final vision here.

[@arianemariano3807]

Zip ties work great for hanging garland on a staircase! 🎅🏼👍🏼

[@peggydove8756]

I love your Nativity Scene your Grand Dad made! Very special!

[@missybowen2333]

I always look forward to your videos. I use a Velcro tape that is used for plants to affix my garland. I just put it in the box with garland when packing away. Your home is so beautiful and I love all the special touches. Tell your brother we need a tour of his place 😆

[@julsjewels3185]

Love the staircase.

[@giorgismama8024]

Beautiful decor. I love the way you decorate.

[@sandradominguez1792]

Me encantó muy real la nieve en la Villa 🥰🥰🥰

[@jan6293]

Christopher, I want to live in your village! Great idea putting the stockings on the stairs. Thanks 🧦🧦🧦🧦

[@mvrooks]

…”in a shatterproof way” 😂

[@carolyna.2527]

I discovered your videos this year and have enjoyed them so much. I have to say, you are so much like me in how I decorate, the treasures I love, your style, it is so comforting and it makes me smile. I decorate in a different theme each year in the formal parts of my house. It takes me at least a month to decorate. My wrap is always themed to match the formal tree. I wish I could have given you some of my gold and silver wrap, as I always have extra! One year I decorated in Scandinavian theme (I am Norwegian), one year Scottish (for my husband's roots) and this year I am using my daughter's collection of sweet treats. I have a large quantity of vintage ornaments, so they are always used in some way too. I also make beautiful wreaths from vintage ornaments. You inspire me with your creativity, calming spirit and lovely soul. Thank you! If I may make a suggestion for wrapping the large piece with the vintage hooks: make a round tube around it using poster board and then it will be easy to wrap! Good luck. I also love your pin on your collar.

[@christinewilliams7005]

Wow - I love that big nativity barn your grandfather made! So neat. EVERYTHING is so pretty. I really like how you did your village scene.

[@Jacqueline-ts1wd]

Your decorations are stunning, your so lucky to have your grandparents memorabilia, beautiful .

[@sarahmichaels2117]

Love your Grandpa's Nativity. I think Marshmallo does too, lol. I have an angel that belonged to my grandma and I love getting it out every Christmas.

[@jeanettelawless2374]

Thank you for sharing your Christmas decorating. I love it all. The Christmas village is so cute. The garland on the stairs is beautiful. What a refreshing idea having the stockings on it. 🎄🎄🎄

[@marianiedzielska1528]

Piekne dekoracje,bardzo pomyslowe.

[@lonewolf1103]

I really love those Christmas village houses they just bring that Christmas spirit in me so thank you for sharing with us

[@lilysderbyshirelife6135]

Love, love, loved the staircase & stockings. Everything is so beautiful. Can't wait for the home tour video. 💞 I've been watching your channel since the white ribbon Christmas tree video. This is just a new account. For the odd shaped gifts, I often use fabric wrapping. I buy a large scarf or a throw which becomes a gift in itself.

[@lesliesolwayboyd689]

Genius idea using one string of white lights for your houses. Going to try!

[@sharmainjoseph978]

I an soooo in love with that staircase garland. I love how you placed those bells like wow!! The little details just glare at you . I have a nativity like that. 🥰

[@debbiegoble786]

I love the nativity so much!! Everything looks beautiful!!

[@carrie3537]

Christopher, Everything you do is absolutely beautiful. Your tree is perfection. The staircase is gorgeous. It is so sweet that you have the stable your grandfather built for the nativity scene. That is so special. And last but not least, the village. I have one myself, but was thinking i would skip it this year. But now, you have inspired me to display mine. Thank you for another lovely video.

[@darlenegreen4035]

You have a surprise AROUND EVERY CORNER of your video! I especially love the marshmallow SONG 🎵. Everything is beautiful and you give lots of tips along the way....I enjoy EVERY TIME YOU COME ON! 🎄🎅🥰

Love the little tree. The stockings on the staircase is a great idea. Maybe for the hook rack you can try one of those large bags they sell for larger toys like bikes, etc.
