Chris you are a jewel to support your wife in her journeys God Bless you both .

[@debbiewalters706]

My uncle had one of these “creepy” Santas and every year of our childhood we have pictures with him. Over the years he lost a boot and my uncle and 2 cousins have passed away. My mother has promised him to me to carry on the tradition and to me he’s not creepy at all but full of treasured memories!

[@deeneedler327]

I love when Peach gets in the picture & talks too !!!

[@kaymccormick2279]

Wish we could give thumbs up to each scene

Watching this today, but I absolutely love how Chris wrapped the gifts. I love love love wrapping and add greenery and ornaments to the ribbons. Love your home decor and the vibe of your Christmas decorations!❤

[@cherylwilson8571]

[@floraparkhurst9685]

Peaches is the best! Love your home!love your show. I always learn so much from you! Your very talented!!

[@heatherwise8450]

Oh my word. I will look for Santa mugs everywhere. I got a whole set of plastic or celluloid, I don’t know what they are but so they look cute in an old glass metal top cookie jar. Love all of your decor! I think with storing candy canes is more of not putting them someplace damp or humid they get more bendy than anything. I have found some pushed back in my desk at school and they were fine. Ones in a bin in the garage. Not so much but I don’t know if they would still display well. My problem is getting them out of the box without snapping them. Love it all so much!!!!!!

[@bonniesmith1179]

I’m not a tree topper person either, mainly because I’ve never found anything I really liked for it. I absolutely love how you’ve decorated, and I like your Santa collection. Some of them are rather creepy but they’re still really cute. We love kitties, and I’m delighted Peach decided to participate today. Our Little Kitty( who is far from little) is our very special baby, and a sweet, spoiled one at that! Lol

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you.. spoiled we wouldn’t have it any other way ❤😻

[@nancykupec6385]

Peach is the best Xmas ornament! No need for batteries!

[@jadestone8552]

You have decorated so beautifully with all of your great finds. ! I have a granddaughter who is the same way about dolls and creepy!

I love Peach. Orange cats are my favorite. Your home is absolutely beautiful, love it.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you so much!

[@sallygreiner5724]

Your house looks lovely and festive. I enjoyed watching you decorate different areas over December. And am glad you showed it all together tonight. Your future grandchildren will love your long long house. Perfect for playing bowling alley. I used to scrape the Eagles Brand can out to lick. But wouldn’t open a whole can to eat. But guess what? They now sell it in squeeze bottles like mayonnaise. So you can keep in fridge and go get a spoonful for a snack. Thanks for the recipes. Have a wonderful Christmas!

[@robincivis9501]

You have outdone yourselves!!! You have left no space unloved!! Such tasteful and merry vignettes! The spirit is in you for sure! Merry Christmas!

[@marygough6554]

First of all, you must have more than 24 hours a day! I love the pops of red. Everything is delightful! Merry Christmas!

I’ve an angel my mum gave me so it’s my tree topper . And means more to me now as I no longer have my mum . Thank you for sharing Yvonne have a lovely Christmas and a peaceful new year x

Love that you used a pop of red. It looks so much more festive than not using the red. Love your new house and workshop. Blessings on the New Year!

Thank you Dee. Also thank you for sharing your Temu goodies with me❤

[@missbonimeduridesidns1793]

I think a galvanized tin star would make a great tree topper. Like a tile cut into a star. It would go wit some of your balls. And may I add your home looks beautiful. Merry Christmas and a Happy healthy New Year!

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you. Merry Christmas

[@vickihanson319]

Merry Christmas to you and Chris, and your family.

Thank you for all the ideas and inspiration. Your happy positive attitude is helpful during this busy time of year. Have a wonderful holiday with your family.

[@lorijonerad857]

Love that you don’t put curtains up!! We don’t either!! We replaced all of our picture windows and I mean, who would cover them up!! It would close us in way too much! Your home is FABULOUS and very long! I love your decorations ❤. How you do that and make it look uncluttered is beyond me! Thank you for sharing your home❤❤. Merry Christmas to you and your family and I pray you have one extremely blessed New Year!!❤🎉

[@patriciabennet995]

I think the Santa collection is cute. Got a lot of ideas for decorating. Lovely home.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@nancyboylan3736]

I have loved watching you do all the Christmas things. You are very inspiring. I now have more Santa mugs this year, thanks to you, lol. (Not vintage, but hobby lobby, Walmart, and even one from Walgreens!) I’m not really a red person, even for Christmas but, this year, I’m seeing a bunch of red in my house. I love to make quilts and even got some with red done for this year. Thank you so much for helping me along.

[@janareynolds9912]

Absolutely love your videos and you and Chris. I watch every night and get upset if I have to miss. Can’t wait for next year’s videos. Merry Christmas to y’all.

[@pollycook9070]

I use different things for a tree topper. My favourite is a black top hat for a topper.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Great idea. Merry Christmas

[@karenlehn2351]

One comment ! WOW ! You have GREAT HAIR !! Favorite ,are the pine trees in old vintage tins. Great job

[@jeannewatkins4074]

The black swan and your rocking horse are so vintage Christmas to me. I love, love your creepy Santa's. You are right, it is a long area to fill. I think it is just right. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you and your family.

[@susantucker40]

You both never disappoint. I can't wait to try your recipes. I could smell the lemon and chocolate😊

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

They are yummy. Thank you. Merry Christmas

[@memphis2375]

Peach just adds the finishing touch to any vignette ❤ And the creepy Santas are really growing on me ❤

[@sarabates2046]

No tree topper. EVERYTHING you touch is beautiful. You home looks so festive and your humungus dough bowl is to die for. So happy I found your channels. Thank you for the tour. 🎄 Merry Christmas from Hartville,Ohio.

[@griseloneal9547]

Santa should bring Chris a weighted tape dispenser. Maybe one for Yvonne, too! Merry Christmas to you and the family.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Oh.. we have one.. it’s at my eBay wrapping area.. you would think we would have grabbed it to use🤗

I really enjoyed this video Yvonne. Your new home is just beautiful! Light and bright. I love the red and white! I am not a curtain girl either. I even love your bowling alley! Peaches is such a star! My Great Dane Hershel, Talullah and young pup Oliver Rigby were so excited to see him! What a cutie! I just love you and your family-wish we were neighbors. Merry Christmas to you all!

[@bonnie14355]

Your home is gorgeous. I love your style and your love of rusty, crusty and vintage. Your upcycles amaze me. So incredibly creative. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@jomariepiccini5156]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Beautiful home Love your decor. And also got a kick out of watching Chris wrap his presents measuring his paper😂😂

[@user-ct4lf3vf4o]

place an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a pan and cover with water. simmer for an hour to make dulce de leche. Great on toast or as a sauce for bread pudding. Loved the tour.

Love how you decorated your’s and Chris’s home! Cookies look good!

[@marvineblackburn7846]

I think your Santas are fantastically cute!! ❤

[@sandrasanders9290]

I love everything about your decorations! I have an old Santa mug that was my 60+ husband’s when he was young. I’ve put a bottle brush tree in it. I like the idea of buying some and painting them white. I want to try the cake mix cookies, they look so good. Glad Peach decided to join the video! Merry Christmas to you and Chris!!

[@choochcardinale6595]

I've been meaning to tell you about those shakers that you have on your wall, well they are still being used to this day. There is a woman that I've watched on KZbin and she's from oblast Ukraine. She cooks in a very primitive way and doesn't have the update stuff that we all do here in the states. It's very interesting to see how she cooks and she is a very good cook. She uses those shakers for her baking flour

[@pegpalo2598]

My Goodness even his strips line up perfectly! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year 🥰😍🎅🏼🤶

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

I noticed that too. ❤ Merry Christmas

[@janashe8600]

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you.. I completely understand 🎅🏼

[@cynthiafouts1872]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@patbarthe1219]

Everything looks beautiful, especially with the pop of red. So festive. As a collector, my theory is if it can be seen through glass cabinet doors, I can enjoy it without it cluttering up my life. We still have to function!! I am looking forward to trying some of the cookie recipes. Not a chocolate lover, but lemon and coconut are my favorites! Have a blessed Christmas and thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives.😊

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you.. Those two are my favorites too❤

[@angelanieuwenhuis6344]

Love your decor. Enjoy it while you can, once Grand kids come decor has to change slightly. No more having things on coffee tables or down low in reach of little ones.

[@suzanneweatherwalks]

Hi Peach! You are such a pretty boy. Your home is just beautiful! I'm a bit of a minimalist too. It's just using the things you love most and nothing more. Merry Christmas to you and Chris!❤

Merry Christmas 🎄 I love the vintage creepy Santa 🎅 I have a small collection too !!! Would love to add to my collection but they are hard to find and can be pricey here in Missouri anyway. Too funny my kids hate them too and call em creepy Santa’s. 🤣😂🤣 who knows where they will end up when I’m gone. 🤷‍♀️ I grew up with creepy Santa’s we knew no better it was Santa 🎅 and I will always enjoy my creepy Santa’s 😊

We cat lovers know that cats " Rule"! LOL! Chris is definitely skilled gift wrapper! I am a tree topper , used the same one ( porcelain Angel) for years .Now, for the past few years I've been changing my tree every year,along with a new to me topper. I rarely buy anything brand new for my decor. You and Chris have made this house your home! Love it! Your Christmas decor is absolutely beautiful! The easy cookie recipes look , and sound yummilicious! Thanks for sharing them and your beautiful home with us ! Wishing youins all a very Blessed.

I love the new direction your channel has gone. I have a question? Have you thought of doing a kit for your DIY’s. You are able to find things that are unique to your area and it’s hard to do any of your projects without having access of your auctions. Maybe a bag of littles to create something?

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

That’s a good thought.. like a little mystery bag of thrifted goodies. I do have plenty to share I’m sure. Love this idea. Merry Christmas.
