Decorating my NEW HOUSE for Christmas!!! Vlogmas DAY 2!

[@imtaramichelle]

VLOGMAS DAY 2!!! finally the day I have been WAITING FOR!! Christmas tree timeeeee!!!🎄🥰

[@desmaraye419]

The tree looks insaneee! 🎄 ❤️ side note I know you’ve been so nervous about sharing your friend and how much and I thought I’d say this Vlog was perfect! I would never expect even my best friends to share every detail and every conversation but it’s nice to be in the know and not feel like your hiding something if that makes sense! Keep doing you girl I’m loving the content 💕

[@heathermachala7623]

I know we aren't suppose to talk man friend...but.....can I just say I'm so happy you have a friend for this season and to share times like these. LET'S FACE IT...CANADA WAS A FREAKING AMAZING IDEA!!!! XO Btw...he gives me Mitch vibes. As in just a really good dude!! I'm so so happy!!

[@sherriglemser5481]

And that tree is AWESOME!!!! Holy crap I need on that tall. And what is this Canadian Tire that seems holiday merch?!

[@butterfly-kb4cn]

The audio is Soooo much better! 😊

[@953orion]

Oh my god that tree is AMAZING!!!! Also- so happy you have someone there with you to put it up!! It was so cute to see him assist you in putting the top on!!! 💚💚💚

[@lilybueker6628]

I know you don’t want to share too much info about your “friend” but I want to say I’m happy to see you happy in a good positive “friend”ship. 😂 it is nice to see you happy.

[@marlenemadrigal2186]

Yes! I was smiling ear to ear when I saw it was him!!!! So happy for her!

[@lilybueker6628]

Just to add don’t ever feel the need to share more than you want. Honestly I kind of like it that you aren’t sharing everything. It leaves mystery and it also makes you feel more like a regular person. Like I don’t share everything about my marriage with super close friends so why would you need to do that to strangers?

[@PassionatelyTaylorMarie]

Awww yesss me too love to see her thriving 🙌🏽

[@GDgrl]

It was the cutest thing seeing how he helped her get the top piece of the tree on 😁

[@marianitas_]

Right!!! And she keeps looking at him with the biggest smile. Good for her!!

[@kristennyoung]

Oh I am ALLLL HERE for you and your “friend” setting up the Christmas tree 🎄😍😉

[@Thatsojjosh]

LMAO

[@samanthaglass2000]

They are cute asf

[@brittneysvec7212]

They way he rubbed her shoulders while looking at the tree together! 🥰 I have high hopes!

[@griselvazquez9378]

Okay can we talk about that tall handsome cup of tea you go girl

[@sadiewyld5591]

The way your “friend” rubbed your shoulders after you both put up the tree, and taking selfies. It’s so nice seeing you so happy and smiley. ♥️

[@haolegirlfromcali]

So so sweet!!! She deserves the world!!

[@valeriaduron7065]

Literally rewatched it like 4 times and I was smiling from ear to ear the rest of the vlog. So happy for Tara!!

[@jenniferl8967]

Tara: “Dad it’s $2000 dollars!” Mitch: “It’s forever” Sounding like the damn voice in my head when I’m shopping for unnecessary things 😂

[@ansleyrae1414]

I just fully laughed out loud bc same 😂

[@spannajupiter]

I wonder wonder however with lit tree light die after a few years. Why I never have got one

[@sallieriley6848]

@@spannajupiter mine always have only worked a few yrs then i had to put my own lights. Mine werent 2k though

[@tierliz]

I know a big reason you haven’t wanted to share too much about your friend is bc you don’t want there to be too many expectations about a status, but your vibe together feels so natural. If you’re happy that’s all that matters!!

[@brittanydupnock399]

Okay but not Tara grinning from ear to ear while "friend" was there. This is life for me. So happy for Tara 🥰

[@AmmaLove24]

The smiles were NOT just about the Christmas tree! ;)

[@amylash57]

so adorably obvious, and cute!

[@meganzambo2403]

"friend" looked just as happy to be there! love it!

i remember when tara bought the house and just started to remodel and mentioned how she cant wait to decorate for christmas AND SHE WAS SO RIGHT. its SUCH a vibe

[@CallMeEmm]

I was giggling like a little girl watching you put the tree together. ☺️ it’s good to see you so happy, especially during the holidays!

[@alondramartinez2973]

Okay I'm just here to say this new "friend" has you smiling from ear to ear and that makes us allll so happy!!

[@Katie_Bellll]

Mitch saying “you know two big people” under his breath, he’s awesome 😂🙌🏼

[@jelsbjenn]

Lol I caught that too

[@rikkihurt]

I don't know about everyone else... But I can't help having a big cheesy smile on my face seeing Tara so happy. Makes me so happy and just forget about all the crap happening in my own life for a moment. Xo

[@NoaDavi]

11:01 OMG FINALLY!! My left ear feels like it can finally breathe again (or hear👂😂) it sounds super nice and crisp!! Thanks Tara! 💜💜

[@imtaramichelle]

Hahahaha finally!!! I’m so relieved!

[@kathykov1]

@@imtaramichelle because I don't use headphones when watching, the sound is exactly the same. The only time the sound changes, is when you are in your bedroom.

[@Ardehel93]

i couldn´t hear the difference at first and then I watched it again with my eyes closed, and you are right, the sounds now comes from both sides again :) (watching without headphones)

[@lizemarismith]

Yes finally! Thank you for getting a new camera 🥳🥳

[@sarahlevasseur4775]

Yes i never noticed it until it was fixed but my phone does surround sound amazing now its fixed 😁

[@DavorGerbus]

The instant audio change when you switched the camera!!!!!

[@julietashima7481]

It’s your dad trying to convince you to buy a $2,000 tree for me😂 Can I take Mitch shopping with me so he can convince me to buy all the things?

[@Pretzel777Home]

Yes! I couldn’t stop laughing when he was trying to convince you to go Big. It seems like most parents would want their kids to stay within a budget. He’s wonderful. But now that you put up the tree with your friend, I think you gotta keep it up. Your decision, I mean, it’s beautiful. I AM curious what a 12 foot would look like in your home, maybe another year?

[@Sabrina_0626]

It's got 10,000 lights. Lmao.

[@AmmaLove24]

He was pushing so hard for that tree 🤣

[@krissyk354]

Classic Mitch 😂

[@mirrorballgirlie]

His argument against every point she brought up HAD ME DEAD 😂 what a legend

[@ri934]

Sounds sooooo much better. The difference was evident within the first few seconds. Edit: Standing beside your “friend” shows just how tiny you are. He seems so sweet. That tree looks amazing! Can’t wait to see the end result. 🎄

[@toriirons3114]

I know it made me giggle how teeny Tara looked next to him 🥺😂

[@masha475]

Tara was smiling and looking at "friend" sooo much. so happy to see her happy.

[@tarynpotter1668]

So dreamy! AHHH! Also Tara, thank you for sharing your life with us. This vlogmas, be released of all pressure of feeling like you have to share every little thing with us or we will be disappointed. NO. It is a privilege to watch your vlogs and follow whats going on in your life. We are not entitled to your life! Share what you want to share but never feel bad for setting boundaries! We love you! Merry Christmas!

[@sugeilymercado330]

I really admire how she appreciates every moment in her life. 🥰

[@JillCimorelli]

The tree looks sooo good 🥰

[@cowgirl1415]

your "friend" helping you get on that stool to reach made my heart melt! so cute!

[@Alexamay1]

Your dad trying to convince you to get the 2k tree is everything! My dad would definitely do the opposite haha

[@funnylilgalreacts]

You know when you see someone glow and radiate happiness that it makes your face hurt from smiling…. That’s what I just experienced. I came here for neighbor content last year and stayed for Tara’s energy and beauty. Girl I’m so happy for you!!!

[@tiffanismithboyer6951]

All I can say is you and "your friend" are sooooo adorable!! Love it tara ❤

[@Jessica.Wallace]

Omg Tara I had to pause the video to come and say that the beginnings of new relationships are just so much fun and I can feel little butterflies in my stomach watching you guys put the tree up together. I’m so happy for youuuuuu! 🥰🥲

[@gricelgutierrez1630]

I've been watching you for years and I just can't get over how the smallest things make you soo happy.... your such a genuine person and I love it. ❤

[@chelseagriffin3148]

Tara have you considered getting a deep freezer in the crawl space or basement? Then you can store food in there just in case.. just a thought 🥰 I'm excited for your Tree lighting!!! 🎄

[@ellehints]

Suchhhh a good idea!!!!

[@feline.equation]

i’m from southern california so we don’t have basements but literally everybody where i’m from has at least a second freezer in their garage. my parents have a second one in their laundry room instead of the garage. highly highly recommend having 2 of them. plus the fridge is the perfect place to put lots of drinks because you don’t want drinks taking up room in your kitchen fridge, but you still want a whole pack to be cold :)))

[@thisbeheather]

think about all the trader joes you could stock up on and store in a deep freezer!!

[@chelseagriffin3148]

@@feline.equation yeah I'm in NJ. It's good to have extra especially After last yr with CV & all the supply outages.

[@kayseacamp]

Exactly what I was thinking. I LOVE my deep freezer. Especially since I shop at Costco it's a game changer.

[@lofin5527]

Unsolicited advice: take the omelets out of the box in your freezer since they are individually package and it will save so much space. I recently started doing this and it’s made a big difference. Loving Vlogmas in your new house!

[@opempem]

This!

[@mandyp1171]

Agreed! I was about to suggest this as well!

[@merklingassoc]

Was thinking the exact same thing. Lol

I was going to say the same!!!

[@ArtisticKitty1978]

Yup I thought the same.

[@shastai7165]

Audio sounds crisper on the new camera! I just love Tara Vlogmas! You bring me joy with every vlog because you are such a joyful person! But I’m dying to see some Brady content! She’s so adorable!

[@jenniferdonaldson4785]

Also I love how much Mitch loves getting you to spend money 🤣 but that tree was IT...that tree is a vibe and would last for years. I would leave it up and decorate it for every holiday through the year...Valentines, st paddy's, Easter you know the vibes

[@shannonsolomon8491]

I finally was able to catch up on your vlogs. I lost my dad suddenly end of November. The end of your vlog yesterday really hit home about living in the moment. Love your channel! I know I say that every time.

[@tanyabonell4147]

Tara as a vlog sista I am SO HAPPY to see you SO HAPPY! I actually cried tears of joy seeing you smiling ear to ear at him. My face actually hurt from smiling at this vlog. It reminded me of how my fiancé and I are always so googly eyed at each other. The way he looks at you and admires you just 😍 he treats you like a queen and that’s what you deserve!

[@nicholerousse5787]

The way you GLOW around your friend 🥺💕 wow my heart. You deserve all the love and happiness Tara. So happy for you and you should be SO proud of yourself. Built your dream home AND your dream Christmas. A M A Z I N G. 💕

In the Nespresso app it tells you what goes best with it and what notes it has. Your next day will go so good w your blueberry milk

[@lo.rosalie]

Can I just say, I'm so glad you were comfortable showing your friend in the vlog. You said a few vlogs ago when you were talking about vlogmas how it was going to be hard to "hide" certain things. I'm glad you're not completely hiding this "friendship" because that would feel disingenuine but at the same time, I'm sure there's lots you're keeping private, which is totally your right! Feels balanced... you don't owe it to us to show EVERYTHING but it is nice to not feel like you're completely "lying" to us about your life if that makes sense. Anyway, yay for vlogmas and so excited for more decorating content ♡

[@Pretzel777Home]

So glad to see your friend came to help you with your tree, WHAT a great memory for your first Christmas in your new home. You looked SO happy, and it was really enjoyable to watch. There’s something nice about enjoying pre-Christmas with someone. Whatever happens, he seems to be good in your life. ❤️. Good vlog.
