Family Friendly Christmas Tree Decorating on a Budget | Red and Green Christmas Tree | Day 3

[@Agr8fullife]

This Christmas decorating video with your oldest son and his family was my favorite thus far! Beautiful family!

[@blubnt49]

Our first tree, 49 years ago, was a used 4 foot tree. Some new and some repurposed ornaments. So proud. We had few couples over after church and came home to a fallen tree and broken ornaments everywhere. The ladies helped this newly wed tidy up and still have a fun eve. I learned to steady the tree after that! Love this family video. You are all so talented and fun to watch!

[@susanyasinsky930]

On our first Christmas, we used a gifted tree. My parents had bought a new artificial tree and gave us their old one. My husband spent quite a bit of time reattaching the broken branches. We were both working and with over time , we hadn't much of a chance to buy presents let alone decorations. We spent that Christmas Eve making origami birds out of wrapping paper. I'll never forget it. Our topper was a bird's nest we had found one Sunday afternoon while walking in the park. We created a large paper bird to sit in the nest. In the end, with clear lights and red bows added, the tree turned out lovely in 1978. Over the years, we have collected hundreds of ornaments, none of which are paper, although we still have some of those birds hanging around in a box somewhere. Thanks for the memories & Merry Christmas!

Just beautiful,the family and the tree of course. My first Christmas tree in 1981,I told you I was ancient,was bought at a "discount "shop here in the UK three days before Christmas.We were working and I rushed out to buy food and the tree was on "sale"so I had enough for the food and the tree(all £3.25p).Only problem was strapping it to my bicycle,which I had to walk back to work,then after work I had to walk home pushing the bicycle.Of course it decided to rain! We had no money and no baubles,but we had a tree.Hubby ,a little more inventively,cut shapes from newspapers,which our neighbour had given us.Such fun!NOT!It sucked a lot,but the tree stuck with us through four Christmases,being dragged in and out of attics with cheap ornaments being added each year.I never thought I could ever afford anything better.But it so reminded us of the huge sacrifice Jesus Christ had done for us sinners,born in abject poverty in Bethlehem and to issue a message of peace and Godly love. Thanks Rebecca for the walk down memory lane for this old bird!

Maria das Santos beautiful story!! Merry Christmas from the US!!

[@cyrinastluce4790]

So cute

[@robinmiller9128]

The day we decorated our first tree as a married couple I had crochet'd little Christmas stockings that were white with red and green edges. That was the decoration. My husband spent every minute with me and I will never forget it.

[@zachtownsend1]

My husband and I have been married 49 years. We were so poor in the beginning we really couldn't afford a tree so we cut a little tree from family property. The tree was put into a container of some sort to hold it . We had hand made bows and a handful of hand me down decorations. I loved it dorky as it was. Marie

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Thank you @zachtownsend1 I think newly married couples who are in the same position as you were back then will find comfort in your creativity. Its not what you have, its who you are with that really matters. Thanks for sharing your story with us. So sweet! RR

[@patgodwin8319]

I had a silver tree that my aunt sold me real cheap and it had the a electric rotation that shines on the tree and it changed from red to green to gold and would continue to rotate back around.again. I don’t think we had any ornaments. We had this a few years until we could buy a tree. I was so excited when I finally got a green tree. We didn’t have extra money for trees those first couple of years. I read your response and needed to share. Pat in NC

[@janetninatanta9240]

I loved meeting Jimmy, Emily and their 4 lovely children!!! One Christmas I remember is with our daughter, who was a toddler at the time, because our tree spun...the entire thing!!! My daughter loved that tree and how it told a "story" as it spun!!! I have always loved Christmas... owe that to my mom, decorating for Christmas, listening to Christmas music, cooking for Christmas, making cookies for Christmas....just Christmas Central!!! That being said, I already had a nice collection of ornaments (which has grown with every year) and did the "pinch" for my bows tucking them in and out and placing the floral wire to save all my glass ornaments tucked in deep... great minds think alike!!! The marriage did not last but the memory of that Christmas lives on in my heart!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@susanyasinsky930]

On our first Christmas, we used a gifted tree. My parents had bought a new artificial tree for themselves and gave us their old one. My husband spent quite a bit of time reattaching all of those broken branches. We were both working and with over time , we hadn't much of a chance to buy presents let alone decorations. No internet back then and many stores where we lived were still closed on Sunday. We spent that Christmas Eve making origami birds out of gold wrapping paper. I'll never forget it. Our topper was a bird's nest we had found one Sunday afternoon while walking in the park. We created a large paper bird to sit in the nest.

[@lindaelliott184]

Our first Christmas some 30 years ago we used tiny orients from an old tabletop tree I'd and cookie cutters. Add ribbon and voila! Love seeing Jimmy and Emily and the little ones. Our boys decorated the tree most years.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Linda Elliott Thats a sweet memory Linda. As we look back over the years, these memories are some of our best right? It was very fun for me to help Jimmy and Emili. Their sweet family is what really matters and being a part of that was enough for me to remember what this season is all about! RR

[@Dragonflyat50]

You helped them to have the magic of Christmas in their home....it turned out beautifully!

[@cardsaremycanvas9065]

Aww I loved getting to see your older son and his family and I especially loved how beautiful their tree was but still had all their traditional baubles, it seems to have turned out very them!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Cards Are My Canvas Thank you hon. I agree, their home is very much them :-) RR

[@TheTinywhitedove]

I took graphic design many years ago and am amazed at how well it applies to interior design also. I have watched all your videos and my christmas decorations are starting to look like they came out of magazines because of listening to and following your advice. I am starting to get friends and family asking for me to come decorate their homes. Thanks Rebecca and you have a lovely family.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Amy Hoffmann Wow Amy, Thats so cool. I'm happy for you. Thanks for letting me know our videos have been helpful for you :-) RR

[@MirahCarter]

My first Christmas tree out of Mama's house was very skimpy. We bought multi-colored glass balls for the tree. Now, since 1982, there are few left. Enough left, though, to put them in a lovely clear cylindrical vase to display tough times Christmas balls. It reminds me of how the Lord doesn't always give us what we want, but he gives us what we need.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Mirah Carter I love the idea of placing your vintage ornaments in a glass vase. Thank you for sharing your story with us Mirah. RR

[@janamillet5229]

Our first Christmas together was spent at a friend's cabin in the mountains of Idaho. We had packed so much to bring with us for the week (Our car was packed like yours- to the brim) however, even though we had brought gifts for each other, I didn't even think about needing Christmas decorations. I was so sad without a tree. We ended up cutting down Sagebrush and putting it in a huge wood coal bucket that was there. We gathered long thin bare branches, pinecones, evergreen branches, and used odd things we found around the cabin; matching table runners, wooden spoons, old work boots, mittens, etc. and decorated that "tree" all up. I'll never forget that first cozy, mountain Christmas.

[@barbnauman705]

I loved every moment of this!! It's a blessing to see everyone working together, and learning from each other. Emili's comment about their first Christmas had me in tears. Cutting out hearts for a Christmas tree is pretty non-traditional! For the two of them, it sounds like it was all about love. Love for each other, and love for baby Jesus. I have to admire that....... They kept "the main thing", the main thing!! The four mini Robesons are beyond precious, and I pray for ENDURANCE for Jimmy and Emili!! Holy Christmas!! That would be more than I could handle-God bless them!! It's all completely beautiful, and I'm sending love and hugs to all!! XXOO

[@jimmyrobesonmusic]

Barb Nauman thank you for your kind words!

[@barbnauman705]

Hi Jimmy! You're so very welcome! You are truly an inspiration to me. I hope when I'm out in S.D. I can come and worship at your church! Thanks for helping the light of Christ to shine so brilliantly through your musical gifts and your precious family of SIX! You and Emili are clearly awesome parents, and you make beautiful babies! Ok, so maybe The Lord had a little part in it all! :) Merry Christmas!

[@zainikitchensrecipes5794]

This is the most beautiful tree I ever seen bec I never saw such a loving mother in law who is so caring and friendly so this tree is made by true love which we can't find these days love u both so adorable

[@MOUSEMOM40]

Our first Christmas a married couple was in 1990. We had a tiny one bedroom apartment. We bought our first tree at Frank's Nursery and crafts and we bought a bunch of DIY ornaments from the craft sections - like the ones you use sequins and beads to decorate, little candy canes made out of beads, and little stained glass ornaments where you melt the plastic bits into metal frames in the oven. We cranked up some Metallica and got to decorating and we had a great time lol. And yes - I still have those ornaments, almost 30 years later, and they still go on my tree

[@forsuchatimeasthis9631]

This is by far, my favorite episode of your show. May GOD richly bless your son and his family. The music was heavenly! May GOD bless you and all you’d touch for his glory. Thanks for letting us into such a beautiful part of your life. Merry Christmas!!

[@donnadelany1797]

Love everything and the music!! Your son is such a talented musician! Love your Christmas decorating style!! Thanks for sharing!

[@mickyunit]

Great way to finish off the week-a surprise "meeting" your other son and his family! Thank you for sharing your family with us Rebecca! Beautiful 🌲 and such precious little ones! 😊

[@growitpickitjamit5453]

Our first Christmas we lived in Germany and couldn't really speak nor read German. But we wandered into a store and bought an artificial Christmas tree. Got it loaded and took it to our little place. We quickly realized that we had purchased a 12 ft tree and had maybe 8 ft ceiling. So we took out one portion of the tree and then added the top section to that,well that somehow threw off the balance of the tree and the Christmas tree had a heavy lean . We decided we'd bungie cord the tree to a banister behind the tree and proceeded to decorate it. It was great!! Needless to say my Mom inherited that tree and she still has 23 years later ,and it looks beautiful..all 12 feet of it. :D Thanks for all the wonderful Christmas decorating videos,I look forward to them every year!!

[@samiamisme]

Decorate in two hours! I loved that because it's totally me. When I saw Day 2, I was like 👀 But this was so beautiful and I appreciated the comments from Jimmy's wife. I could see myself incorporating these tips as I really only have energy for the tree, over like a tablescape. 25 years of marriage and my tree still has a special spot where our first year ornaments go. 😍 PS the music was fabulous. Thank you!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@samiamisme I know right... a couple of days is what it took but mostly because of the stops for real life stuff... like diaper changes, meals and playing with the kids throughout :-)... I have a treat for you. Jimmy's Christmas music is available for free! maranathachapel.org/singalong I hope this video was informative and helpful for you as you begin this years decorating. Congrats on the 25 years of marriage! Thats an accomplishment these days ;-) RR

[@samiamisme]

Robeson Design ...thank you! I grabbed the music right after I watched the video. Yes, I absolutely learned so much! Extra lights, tucking balls into the branches, and the bow/ribbon! I wouldn't have thought to put it a little lower and tucking the ribbon in makes so much sense, over letting it flop down the tree. It turned out pretty, personal, homey, but still has that upscale designer flare without being snooty. 🤗

[@jeffmeans894]

Our first Christmas tree was in 1981. All new for us and bought a lot of red and white balls. Still have most of those. This year will be different! My first Christmas without her. Sheila, my bride, passed in July! I have to somehow try to pull it together for our granddaughter! My son is a Marine and won’t get to come home this year!! We went the Camp Lejune last year! Guess having to learn our new “norm”. Haven’t really thought about the tree this year. This video has brought all those memories back! I’ll go to bed with a little smile tonight

[@karenhelser2834]

Love, love the music of Jimmy and the Worship Band...great harmonies. The tree is adorable. Amazing what can be done and learned with expert help. Precious family, Rebecca. Thanks for sharing. God's richest blessings to you all...Christ is born!

[@RC-vl3jf]

It's 1:44am and I'm watching your video; I love Christmas! Thanks for teaching design. My 1st married Christmas we decorated a tree;in our 1st apartment, and our 1st baby boy was mesmerized by the shiny ornaments.

[@carl9276]

Man o man, you guys are so blessed. First your mom is such a Talented Wonder Woman, Second she is decorating your house and please talk her in to letting you keeping all the Christmas Goodies? Say Please. Love You Guys. My mom passed and always remember which i can see you guys do. mom is a Special Blessing any season of the Year. Love, Carl

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Carl Coglianese You are too cute! Yes, I have given Jimmy and Emili all the things we used in their home. Its what moms do ... right! RR

[@denisethrondsen3399]

So adorable! I love the traditional style and colors! Their house is warm and cozy!🌺

[@ginadillon2072]

This tree is beautiful. I have to admit some of the most beautiful trees are those Walmart trees that you just decorate the best you can. I was fortunate to go on a "Christmas Walk". There were so many different Christmas Trees. I recall the one that was the sweetest was a tree that the kids made popcorn and cranberry strings and construction paper garland and little handmade ornaments. It was lovely.

[@MsMBrandDesign]

16 years ago we got our 1st tree, a real one..... Never again, needles found for years! Now we have a great artificial and 16 years of decorations we have collected including a nice collection of swarovski crystal snowflakes and stars. Love your videos x

[@MomofCurlies]

This is my absolute favorite video you have done. In my 7 years of watching! Also love the worship song!!

[@lhawkes5]

This is my favorite video of yours to date. (I've loved them all but this was the best!) When I was first married we couldn't afford a tree so we cut the bottom branch off of the large pine tree in our front yard and leaned it up against the wall. We put on some lights and red ornaments and it served us just fine. It's a story I like to tell my grown kids to let them know that things may not be perfect but still work out. The year of the Christmas branch.

[@corran2000]

Oh I love this video! A total family affair! Not only does it look stylish and sophisticated but it's totally personal to Jimmy, Emily and the kids with all the little bits they have collected through the years. The style of tree, choice of ribbons and balls really do compliment the quirky ornaments they have and the stuff the kids want on the tree. What a special gift to be able to have your grandma come and help put up a wonderful tree to make your Christmas more magical. Good bless you Rebecca! Thank you for this.... Thanks to Jimmy also for his lovely music! SF (Vickie) x

[@corran2000]

Forgot to add that our first Christmas together was when we were living together and not married. My now mother in law purchased as a tree and some ornaments and then took us out to pick up a few more bits. Our flat was tiny and the tree was cheap and cheerful as were the decorations but we had them co ordinated in red and gold. It was my first year away from home too so it was a little bit special, we ended up driving over 300 miles to my parents for Christmas and had the traditional Christmas tree I'd grown up with on Christmas Day. X

[@Maddolelady]

Being newly wed and broke my husband and I made most of the ornaments in the kitchen. Gingerbread men and women along with candy canes, orange peels candied and hung with cranberries and fans out of that twisted paper. Pomanders with cloves and cinnamon. White pinecone painted and glittered with little red and white bows. Oh the smells were awesome. I'm so looking forward to a grand birthday celebration this year too. Have a blessed Christmas. Joy unspeakable!

[@ashleaspruce6703]

Thanks Rebecca for sharing your decorating the tree at your sons sweet family home! I especially love the time you and your daughter-in-law sharing memories of their 1st Christmas tree from Walmart . Not sure how many times been watching this video but love it so much. The music and your grandchildren made it so organic ! ❤️

[@EEN63]

You did a beautiful job of mixing their kid-friendly ornaments with a designer's flair and a few trinkets and baubles from your car. It turned out wonderfully festive and lush! Great job, Rebecca!

[@VLicious8704]

I loved seeing this branch of your family!!! So much fun! My first Christmas with my husband was spent in our little off campus apartment in our college town. We had a real tree, because he refused to do fake trees, and multicolored lights. We decorated with our childhood ornaments and then had our new friends at college come over and do paper snowflakes for the rest of it. Now I only use white lights because it pops better with alllllll the ornaments we've collected over 13 years and with 6 kids!!

[@Rocketman988]

Mom again. Laughed my way through it a second time! :-) And I LOOVEE the gorgeous Praise music by Jimmy! This video ought to be subtitled "How to actually spend more than two hours decorating". Hysterical!!! I actually have been happy with my results from my "15 minutes" a year. But now I know what else I can do, with more time! Gotta admit, I kinda like the simple popcorn and paper cutouts options for us. BUT I LOOVE to see other's creativity, and this is yet another amazing result! Way to go Rebecca! Thanks for being so transparent and real!

I got a 4ft black tree I purchased the year before, I decorated with gold, some silver ribbon, ornaments and black and white ribbon. Christmas Day we spent it alone having a Harry Potter marathon. Happiest Christmas ever!

Love it... I remember my husband came home from work with our Christmas tree one day ... he just started working for the trash company and was on the rich houses route they just threw a perfectly good tree out ... to this day I still have that tree ... my husband doesn't let me throw it away ... it's been about 12 years but he says it has brought him luck ....

[@donnadoble-brown338]

Actually made me tear up . . . Just beautiful seeing your blessed family enjoying and appreciating your “work” . . . It came out gorgeous! I love that print too on the left of the fireplace . . . And how about that Dave? Such a good guy ...✨🙂

@Donna Doble-Brown I know right... Dave is a rock star! Totally went the extra mile! I'm so glad you enjoyed our family time together... I know we did! :-) RR

[@SkkyJuse]

Love love love!!! My tree looks very similar with those big ribbons wrapping the tree, perfectly place bows, tons of white lights, and hundreds of red and white ornaments, new and passed down...but I remember my first Christmas with my husband. Wide white ribbon and Christmas cards were all we could afford to decorate with. It was a simple and lean time, but full of love. ❤️

[@MrsFriskyNinja]

I was raised in a cult so I didn't have a Christmas until I was 21 with my husband. We had a tiny tree and bought Dollar tree ornaments because we didn't have much money. But we had SUCH lovely time. Now we have gorgeous decorations I've collected over the last few years.

[@venus1194]

First off, beautiful job, wonderful family, brought Christmas to my heart early this year! My 1st Christmas with my hubby, we had a 4ft white tree that we put on a card table, covered with a light & dark blue table cloth with snowflakes on it, I think I got it on clearance at Walmart for like $10. The tree had light & dark blue ornaments & snowflakes all over it & our topper, I made, an angel with a blue & white dress & tiny snowflakes on it, I was so proud of myself lol. Wow-32 years ago, since then there have been 3 kids (all grown now) & many changes to our trees through the years! Merry Christmas & God bless everyone :)

[@sharonthibault8153]

Love it!!! Our first Christmas was 1998 and we'd only been married for a month. A family we knew gave us an artificial tree and some ornaments (all blue balls), and some silver garland. It was absolutely a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. But now we have a huge amount of Christmas decor and I love how our tree and house look at Christmas!

[@jayoppie3021]

Lovely, warm design for a sweet family. I always love watching your videos. I remember as a little girl, our CHristmas tree was made from a small tree branch, we glued cotton balls around each branch and when it was finished, it looked straight out of a yard full of snow. It was one of the loveliest Christmases I had some 45 yrs ago :) :)

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Jay Jops Sounds dreamy. No matter how hard I try to muster up some snow for Christmas... San Diego just never complies! Have a wonderful holiday season Jay. RR

[@patriciapilarinos2715]

Such a cute family. For our first tree. We shopped late and bought pretty much the last raggedy tree on the fresh cut tree lot. As you would expect it had naked spots and and was hardly straight. Since we had now spent all our money on our tree we needed to get really inventive with the decorations. We strung the packing popcorn, some of which we glittered until our fingers stuck together. From the tree lot we gather the metal wire that they used to hold the branches during shipping and a ton of brown twine. Using pliers we made twirly metal icicles. And with the twine we wet the strings with glue and wrapped them around some small party balloons after which we popped and created some natural looking balls. It was perfect!

Rebecca, you have out done yourself again! I loved this episode! Your family is so beautiful! You are blessed! Love what you did with their tree and living room! It's so cozy!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Sarah Lovestocraft Yes Sarah. Its a matter of being thankful in all circumstances. I live my life that way and I feel blessed every day. Thank you for watching and taking your valuable time to comment. Appreciate it ;-) RR

Our first Christmas we bought a big tree from Costco and covered it with the 2 tubs of plAstic ornaments we bought and called it a day. We too have come a long way. 😊 love the lights in the middle it makes so much sense!

[@itswritteninthestarz]

She’s so lucky to have you! It comes so natural to you!!

[@TheBayBlonde]

My first Christmas was all about family and being with the man I loved. We were of humble means back then, so we bought a spruce from the grocery store and some plastic big box ornaments and a tree skirt. That tree was our present to each other and that year I bought our "first christmas" couple ornament, which has two bears sitting in the tunnel of love kissing. It is my most treasured ornament to this day. Although we both can afford pretty elaborate gifts now, it's those humble times I love the most.

[@rachealpersad8672]

love the family vibes you all have together. beautiful family beautiful home.

[@meagankreydin3519]

The tree looks gorgeous and your grandchildren are so precious!

[@M54JC]

lol 😂 Home Depot with 4 kids. Rebecca’s daughter in law is very down to earth and sweet. I’ve seen a large portrait of her in my friends salon. The tree turned out so beautiful! Encouraging that Jimmy said to learn as you go through diy vids. These people are so humble! Looks like a lovely family.

[@SpecialKfarms]

Man, you guys are so talented! Just when I thought it was just decorating...Jimmy can SING! praise Jesus!

[@mauricioortizaznar1972]

Hi, our first Christmas as newly weds in Argentina was great! We bought a white tree and decorated it with gold ornaments from Mexico and white lights. It looked very beautiful and bright! I love your videos, thanks so much!!!

[@brendahoss2934]

Loved "getting to meet" Jimmy Robeson and his beautiful family. Thanks for sharing this lovely and inspiring video.

[@caitv107]

My fiancé and I moved in together just before last Christmas. We were still unpacking (the few things worth bringing to our new place) and definitely did not have a tree stand, but we had a few ornaments. We ended up getting a small tree and propping it up in a soup pot!

[@lovelyIberia]

Yes, finally. I am so glad that you are going back to basics. Posting long videos!

[@anashilinsky]

So nice to know your family! and the wonderful tree, you make for them.I am sure they never going to forget it!!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

It’s such a blessing to have such an awesome family!!! I love all the tips & tricks that you gave Emily & how excited she was... I also loved that you brought over all those beautiful ornaments & tree...Dave was so funny, I think that wand was awesome too!!! I love this video, the tree turned out AMAZING, of course!!! YOU ROCK!!! Your son’s music is so beautiful, so much talent in that Robeson family!!!

[@hunter8749]

Your videos have helped me decorate my home beautifully for Christmas for the last 3 years. And I will continue to resort to your videos for years to come. Thank you so much for teaching me how to decorate!

[@vm24seven365]

Awww, this is such a sweet video. Love seeing RR w/family. Our 1st Christmas was in a 3 room upstairs apartment. The rooms were small, freezing cold outside (but toasty inside) a very lumpy old mattress, and fabulous tiny tree...but we were SO happy...I would not have changed a thing. (side note: the music is amazing) Happy Holidays. Peace friend.

[@mrs.marylamb6964]

Rebecca, your son Jimmy , Emily, and kiddos are so beautiful !!! The decorating was so gorgeous, and I loved the colors of the tree. You are so blessed to have such a loving family that you share with us each year. Thank you Rebecca, your my idol and inspiration for decorating. Wish you could come help me decorate my home someday ! Have a wonderful holiday season this year. xoxo Mary from Texas

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Mrs. Mary Lamb I wish you a wonderful holiday season too Mary. RR

Married 25 years ago. Our first Christmas tree was decorated with a few ornaments from my Mother in law and several satin covered ornaments. To fill in the empty spaces I purchased several spools of Christmas print ribbon which was hand tied into bows and attached to the tree. Every year we would add a few ornaments to replace some of the bows. One tradition we have with our children is that every Christmas Eve they each receive an ornament from me. This is the start of their Christmas decorations and will go with them when they have their own trees.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Stepher 63 Thats a beautiful tradition and your children are very fortunate! RR

[@karengregory4023]

Favorite video so far on the 25 days of Christmas. Great family

I cant believe that turn on and off like this.. it's magical!

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Wow! That's a beautiful tree! 🎄 We didn't have much our first Christmas in our tiny apartment... I made a construction paper chain for garland... and a lot of the decorations were hand made too. The tree topper was an angel I made with a toilet paper tube and papers. SF.

[@marielcalder103]

How cute is this? You've outdone yourself Rebecca! Now back to watching the rest of the video. Lovely, lovely family.

[@corinnabilling37]

Love the tree!....But what I loved mostly about this video is the family unit. Especially how Mother~n~Law/Daughter~n~Law get along and share time together like this. How Awesome 🎄❤🎅🎄❤👍

[@PaperCraftMix]

The tree turned out beautiful for your family. I still remember my husbands and my first christmas in our own house. The tree was decorated with gold and dark blue. After a few years we have changed it to red, white and silver because we needed plastic ornaments when our son was younger. He took them of and threw them around our livingroom. We builded around these plastic ornaments over the last years, and now we have a mixture of plastic and glass ornaments ofcourse..... the kids are 14 and 17 so that is no problem anymore. lol. Love all of your videos! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@jackandjill9065]

I'm watching a year old video and enjoying every minute. Loved the Christmas song, great talent. I'm a self taught interior decorator and must say that I'm glad I found your channel. You have refined my talents while entertaining me with your wit. You have the perfect balance to relate with your audience with professionalism, yet letting it be real. It doesn't appear to be a show with only your crew, but you make us all feel like we're part of it by looking into the camera and talking to us! Of course, your sense of fashion and beautiful face just enhances the enjoyment. Thank you for each video gift. L.S.

[@bowman0416]

Our first Christmas we had a travel tree with all the ornaments we had collected through out our travels , also one large tree with vintage family ornaments and my husbands late partners ornaments, it has since evolved into 5 trees 20 yrs later

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@James Bowman Oh My Goodness James. That sounds beautiful;l You had a great foundation from the beginning. I'm sure your 5 trees are beautiful. Please share on your social media platforms and tag Robeson Design. We'd love see them. RR

[@cathyellis767]

I love this tree! I love that you can still see the green tree 🌲 and all their decor has sentimental value! 🥰

[@charliesimmons2312]

What a beautiful family! Beautiful music! Beautiful tree! I want to get started now fa la la, la la la la!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Last year was our first Christmas as newly weds but my husband was deployed. I have a very nice 6ft, skinny tree which used to be a display tree at the store I used to work at. When it was on the discard list, I got to take it home! So, it was just being me and our puppy for Christmas in a new state and our new apartment. I made a care package with 25 cards and gifts for my husband to open for each day of December leading up to Christmas. When the Roberson’s started their Christmas special last year, I put my tree up about a week before Thanksgiving. My mother in law came for Thanksgiving and we spent the weekend just us two. A few weeks later my mom flew in and once finals at college were done, we packed up my car and drove about 14 hours from Texas to Arizona. I was so blessed to spend the holidays with my family. My husband was supposed be home from deployment in mid January, so I left all the decorations and presents up and waiting for him. Then, my husband volunteered to stay back 2 weeks to train the new guys coming in. He came home February 2nd of this year and we had “Christmas” either that day or the next. I was ready to take down the tree, that’s for sure! We’ve been together for 3 years but this year will be the first year we have Christmas together. This year, we plan on decorating on Thanksgiving, and we will be spending Christmas and New Year’s with his family! This will be the first year in my whole life I won’t be spending it back in Arizona with my family.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@MrsAriann Thats a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I wish you and your sweet hubby a wonderful holiday season! RR

[@donnasmith7668]

love seeing more of your family, would love to hear more about how the rest of house is decorated! first Christmas we bought a $5.00 real tree and made most of decorations with some dollarstore ones.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

@Donna Smith We have 25 videos for you this year. I believe there are 4 from Jimmy and Emili's home. You will get to see the rest as we go through this series. Stay tuned :-) RR
