Have a "Holly Jolly" Christmas: Decorating a Christmas Tree in Traditional Colors (2021)

[@RamonatHOME]

Dear David, When trouble comes is only to makes us stronger, remember your steps are ordered by the lord therefore what it may seem as trouble is only working on you a strength that can only be created under pressure. I like to think of a seed, it is planted on the grounds, in the dark and only by the grace of God ( which is replaced every morning ), and after the pressure, the dirt creates when being wet by the watering it breaks and begins to sprout. We are no different than that little seed. once your pressure lifts off you will be better because it happened. God bless you all and Keep on swimming just keep swimming....... Swimming swimming swimming ( finding Nemo reference ) Ramon

[@DavidChristophers]

Yes! Amen. We agree with you. Hope you’re doing well. ❤️

[@barbaramobley8845]

Ramon thank you for that example. I know it was intended for David and Jen but it will remind all who read it. Trust in God - He loves you and intends all things for your good. Thx again for reminding me and others of God's love and grace! 💞

[@estellamayhue-greer5120]

Ramon, you have such a wonderful spirit!

[@rhondagentry2170]

Hi Ramon - As I commented on your channel, I am very appreciative of your positivity, whether thru Bible verse quotations or Maya Angelou quotations, or your own expressions of goodness. The world needs this kindness. ✨

[@moaahlgren5193]

I'm with you on this Ramon.

[@rhondagentry2170]

Ya'll acting "silly" is a requirement for keeping joy in your spirit and is very much appreciated. It is disheartening to work toward a goal for so much time, only to see it threatened near the finish line. As for this customer, I am patient and will keep waiting on my wish list. So much thanks for the inspiration as well as the product which is worth the wait. 🎄🎄🎄

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you, Rhonda. Silly helps us get through the long days. We hope to have all of our items very soon. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

To hear you start by giving GOD the Glory, let me tell you, in my mind you’re a keeper. Continue to trust GOD in all you do and everything will be alright.

[@kathykaufman1244]

I've been known to stand looking at ribbons longer than ornaments (drives my kids crazy) so I completely understand and think your "Holly Jolly" ones are outstanding! Each time you decorate a tree you amaze me, so much fun!

[@sharonlain3956]

God will find a way for y’all 🙏🙌. Your customers are staying loyal today and in the future. 💜🙏🌲

[@DavidChristophers]

Yes! So true. And we do have the best customers! ❤️

[@renees766]

The extra branches n stems you added to the tree really brought it to life!

[@laurahogan8012]

Don’t stress over things outta your control. Take what you have already and create. You do a great job.

[@judyroberts6591]

David, don’t be discouraged over things you have no control over. God is our helper and he makes no mistakes. This is a stressful time of the year I know but keep praying and try to rest when you can and those two things will help more than anything. Love to Jen and you!!

[@charissarivers7117]

Ok, so about this Holly, Jolly Christmas theme...OMG! This was my traditional Christmas fix!!!! It is everything!!!!! There was utter joy on my face throughout the entire video. Ya'll talking about switches, fly swatters and wooden spoons had me in tears😂! I was um, let's say, a difficult child, so I experienced all three😁. And just when I think David can't possibly add more to a tree, he's like his Heavenly Father...he makes a way😂! I absolutely love this theme and this tree!!!

[@DavidChristophers]

Haha Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it, and we could make you laugh today. Have a wonderful day. 🎄❤️

[@highpocketsnana1333]

I can only imagine the stress y'all are under. I'm praying for you everyday! Love and light to you and you are not alone!! ❤❣

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much. ❤️

[@suestrait603]

Praying for your health and business David and Jen. How powerful is your testimony of faith in our Almighty God through all your troubles this year. The Lord has you securely in His hand. 🙏❤

[@anashilinsky]

So beautiful!!! holly jolly!!! I love the ribbon the balls the flowers the branches !! every!!!

[@tabathazacchini-crabtree3131]

I love your channel guys!! As a christian ourselves we have always prayed and thanked God for all he is and does. As my grandmother used to say," When life gives you lemons, pray that He sends some sugar to go with it.," With all our busy lives it is so refreshing to know that I can sit down and watch a channel that is promoting Jesus..

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you, Tabatha. ❤️God has been too good to us not to give him praise. 🙌🏽

[@michelea2326]

Californian here! Switches are a Southern thing that has travelled!!! I was whipped with switches off our apricot tree from our backyard (AND my aunt's apricot tree). My mom carried a switch in her purse for public discipline. (The more I type, the more this sounds like something I should unpack in a therapy session.)

[@DavidChristophers]

Much love to you, Michele. 😘

[@emmamullendore5682]

Amen for the challenges that brings God’s blessings!

[@MsAngelaLVann]

I’m especially liking the deeper reds with the different greens. 🛍🎁🎄

[@brigantiablackbird]

I'll be thinking of you both! The shipping situation is a complete mess for a variety of reasons. Chin up--I know you'll make it through and you have a lot of enthusiastic people cheering you on! LOVE LOVE LOVE this tree! There is something about using the traditional colors that pull on my heart strings! This year I'm going with nostalgia, traditional colors, and a sense of fun in my décor! We all need an oasis from the insanity of the world!

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much, Brigantia Blackbird, for your encouragement and kind words. 🎄❤️

[@toneil8470]

Love this tree !!!! Keep the faith. God is in control. He knows our needs. Love you guys.

[@DavidChristophers]

Amen! Thank you so much.

[@serometate1031]

Jen you are absolutely hilarious…love how you model the garland and skirt🤣🤣🤣as always the tree is spectacular and you two guys are adorable and a joy to watch work together ❤️🎄❤️

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much. We are happy we could bring you a little joy today. Have a wonderful evening.

[@grannygrunt5211]

Thank you all for this Holly Jolly tree, I like seeing the new pics and everything you guys get in the beaded garland that Jen had wrapped around her neck was really beautiful. God bless you all just remember the Lord will see you all through, yes we out here have been facing challenging times ourselves, Just want to encourage you to hang in there, God is good he will see you through, God bless you all, !

[@DavidChristophers]

Yes. He will. Thank you for the encouragement. 🎄❤️

[@pateannarino3521]

I can relate to your liking ribbon. I can’t pass up buying beautiful ribbon. You never have enough. I have a ribbon stash and a fabric stash. 🌲

[@jerryrobinpendleton5171]

David & Jenn thank you so much for your great tree decorating videos! I learn more every time! This was the best video on applying ribbon to a tree! David made it so simple! I too am addicted to ribbon and now I can get more, different ribbons on the tree! I too work in retail and this supply chain mess is so frustrating after everything the world has gone through since 2020! I’ve decorated my traditional 9 ft tree in this red & light green for the last 2 years! I’ve used ribbons, picks and a million ornaments but I’ve never added the greenery! I too had to go pick a switch to get spanked! My son, now 28 never saw a switch but I did carry a ruler to correct him if he got out of hand! Lol

[@MsAngelaLVann]

That tree skirt made an excellent skirt! LOL! 🛍🎁🎄

[@VMCCompany]

Once again, that’s a beautiful tree! I have a “ribbon problem” too! I have boxes of it and I’m unapologetic! I’m sorry you’re having delivery problems - these difficult times have to end one day. Keep praying and you have my prayers for your business and well being. Thanks for the videos!

[@lisahines8176]

You guys bring sooo much Beauty, and Joy and Kookiness through all that you already do. 🤪🥸 We are in this together, and we’ll get through it…come what may!! 😉🙏🏼✝️🎄

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much. We are definitely better together. Have a wonderful day!

[@1caramella]

I am in love with this Santa,its adorable!!

[@rcustis2645]

I so remember having to pick my own switch. There was a huge forsythia bush right outside at the end of our porch. I so dreaded those words to go get me a switch. On the other hand my sister use to laugh when she got a switch. Agree. It taught me right from wrong

[@buffy5kt]

Wow!! What a great natural look but racheted up a few notches!! David, you are an artist. AND a genius. Your eye is incredible. Jennifer's eye for fashion is also very nice. 😊 I really appreciate what you do for your youtube family. This old grandma wishes I was your neighbor so I could make you cookies and love on you when you get dicouraged. I have been praying for you and your business along with my kids and others who are trying so hard to keep their businesses going during lockdowns and transportation issues! God bless you and your family. Claiming these words over you: "For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."- Jeremiah 29:11

[@DavidChristophers]

This is so sweet. We are certain you’re an excellent grandma. We would take your cookies. 😂 Thank you so much for the encouragement. We love that verse. It’s one we have clung to many days. ❤️❤️❤️

[@christineregan8482]

Just love that Ribbon, Ramon, just love watching you too.

[@denisejordan8648]

I love the traditional colors. It is so pretty. You two are great together. I love your silliness!

[@RitaKeegan]

Stunning! Love the traditional theme! Also very happy to see the wide step stool! Have never heard the “switch” thing but in the North we got the “belt”! 💗🎄

[@CraftyandChic]

I loved everything about the tree, EXCEPT the stars.

[@DavidChristophers]

Thanks for the comment. Have a blessed day. 😊

[@georgiahan560]

Great job you two,beautiful couple

[@DavidChristophers]

Thanks you so much. And thanks for watching.

[@grannygrunt5211]

Switches was a thing here in Indiana too. My mom always had a switch playing around. I knowed my mom loves us, But we deserve those switchins. But if my mom was Raising this on this day and age, She'd probably be brought up on charges for child abuse, But I was blessed with the good mommy and daddy, There was 12 of us kids grown up.

[@DavidChristophers]

I bet there was never a dull moment at your house growing up. Take care!

[@louanneross6410]

So traditional and beautiful. The amaryllis coming out of the tree are fantastic. Another great vision as always David. Thank you for rising above your sadness for the hard week and trials and tribulations and giving us such a great tree and video. Hope next week is better. ❤

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you so much for your encouraging words and kind comment. Have a wonderful evening.

[@angelasklavounos9620]

As always David you're creativity and your talent is super... Stay positive and keep the faith God will come through for you guys.. Jen you're funny.. Love your humor

[@DavidChristophers]

Thank you for the nice words. 🎄❤️

[@migdaliaserrano1826]

[@DavidChristophers]

Awesome. So glad you love them! 🎄❤️

[@nphipps9406]

can't go wrong with that theme

[@tracimills9144]

Switches are not anything I ever heard of here in Ohio. I think it is a southern thing. I loved learning a new ribbon technique. Your ribbon is so beautiful and high quality and how exciting that it comes on a David Christopher’s name brand roll now. I loved the video and the tree is gorgeous as always.

[@karennetherland2327]

Simply festive! It's gorgeous. Love the way you did the ribbon David. Jennifer you were cracking me up.

[@DavidChristophers]

Glad you loved the ribbon and that I could make you chuckle. haha Have a wonderful evening.

[@lisamurawske4168]

Hello..my name is David and I have a ribbon problem! Lol..I love ribbon too. The tree is gorgeous. Trust that it will all work out in the end. Hard times just make us appreciate the good times even more! ❤❤❤

Oh my! You did it again!! Amazing!! Thank you so much for your hard work presenting these videos for us! I look forward to them each week! My favorite place is your beautiful store! I’m an old woman and I don’t need all the decorations but it makes me so happy to watch you two and think of all the possibilities!!! Best gift ever! Beautiful job on each and every tree!

Thank you. We are hopeful. We have most of our things, but we are still missing a couple of containers. We have never gotten things so late, so it's been a little unsettling.

Although I decorate my trees differently, as far as decorations go....I really like this tree more than I thought I would... the color combo is lovely and timeless/classic. Using picks and extenders is definately, a unique idea....and using a tree as a 'base' where the decorations are the star of the show is a neat concept as well.
