Can I say I just love Florian - such a sweetheart of a guy. The tree looks great. Juggling videos with Billy, your own stuff, it gets crazy. Thanks for doing it though, it’s fun to share in your adventures. Much love Michael

Feeling old when 90's lights are vintage LOL 🤣Nice tree 😊

[@dianalewis8548]

Yeah me too.

Having been born in the 60's, I was dying. But feeling old. 😊

I'm over here wondering, do they not sell incandescent strands of lights in Europe?! Still the norm here in Ohio 🤣

Thankfully, 50's ornaments are all broken. 😂😂

Michael he meant when saying he has 'bad tongue' is ( he say's bad things about something before trying it). like your mince pies looked disgusting but after trying it he's realised its quite good letting the mouth run away before the brain/taste/feel/textures engages so to speak, great vid x

[@aprilyface]

Michael, you just make my heart swell! You are so sweet and charming, it’s no wonder other sweethearts are drawn to you. Happy Christmas to you all!☺️

Florian is doing exceptional with his english

[@AnAlbertaGirlAtHeart]

I doubt any young man could be more adorable and special than Florian. What a lovely person 💖

[@TRoth858]

I actually think Michael is equally adorable and special! I love Michael's personality, humor, and kindness.

[@Tahia213]

Florian sounds sweet and charming 😊

[@tiffany-sheriwageman.3702]

I am so glad that we get to enjoy to handsome young men to be friends and do things together! Florian has a wonderful and loving heart to be kind and so supportive! You both are a joy to watch!

[@claireangier3322]

I also love Florian, he comes across really well on camera. Of course there had to be a St. Michael on top of the tree! I'm enjoying all the Pethericks videos at the moment, your a hardworking bunch. 🎄🎅🍾⛄👼

[@hopegrable]

Aww, Florian is such a sweetie pie! The little tree looks lovely. Those tiny Spode plates are adorable! Hopefully nothing gets broke this year. I know it hurts your heart when you lose one. Sending you hugs and love. 💖💖💖

[@nannieg7622]

Love the miniature Spode plates, they will look amazing on the tree 🌲

[@retiredlor]

Lovely to see you and Florian decorating the tree.

[@mmeduplechin1577]

I love hearing the story of people decorating trees for Christmas. I'm from a multi-cultural family. When people decided to have trees inside, they were installed on Christmas Eve w/minimal decorations. Candles were generally used very carefully because of everyone being off-grid. It was quite an experience when we went into town and witnessed the displays of lights in all their blazing glory. What a sweet video that brought back memories. It's nice to have these videos to follow what's happening in your life, Michael.

[@PleasantPrickles]

Loved spending the afternoon with you and Florian! 🌲😃

[@beiderbecke1927]

I adore colored lights on my tree. I'm very old, and when the white light craze came in during the early eighties, I defied it, and to this day have colored lights. I put up a real tree every year, and I do obsess on the lights, and placement of ornaments. I have many that date back over a hundred years, and my treetop angel I made from my grandmother's doll head, and part of her 1915 wedding gown (which she made herself). So many ornaments from friends and family, dead and gone, and they evoke both tears and joy. And by the way, Florian is delightful, I want him here in Grand Rapids for Christmas! A really wonderful vlog, it took me out of my head and placed me in a safe haven of joy and bright things. Thank-you Michael.

[@mavep2855]

I think a lot of your viewers are crushing on Florian, myself included. You have a good rapport together-good fun! Your tree is beautiful and the mini Spode plates are a perfect addition. Talk about multi tasking……. Thanks Michael and Florian🎄🙏🏻❤️

[@dpfeifer2194]

I love the classical music while decorating the tree! Lovely vlog. Florian seems like such a nice man. Thanks for sharing.

[@lotusdolphin]

Florian is a sweetheart!! And gorgeous to boot!! Tree looks great! Nice choice Florian of music. That’s one of my favorites! Vivaldi is absolutely one of my favorites! Love the little Spode plates. They came out great

[@kimhaughton3771]

Cracks me up how stylish Michael is about every aspect of his life saying as he puts Christmas lights on the tree " you just smack them on". 😂😂😂 PS: I really enjoy Florian!!! The two of you are really fun to watch the back and forth between you. And I LOVE Florian's taste in music! Four Seasons is one of my favorites!

What a terrific friend you have in Florian! Love watching you both! I just love *hanging out* with you both over the vlogs! Made my evening.

[@annettewalter2273]

Florian is such a good friend, good sense of humour. You, Billy and Sadie are so busy with all of your Christmas preparations. The tree looks terrific, those miniature plates are beautiful. We have different. Companies offering these fun socks. If you buy a certain number of groceries you can have socks.

[@marthathomas1660]

Thanks Michael for a lovely video. The Season gets a little overwhelming it’s good to take breaks and just enjoy the moment 🎄🌟❤️ You guys are fun to visit with. I especially love your Christmas Tree so beautiful filled with your memories ❤️the little bird is precious. You are so sweet and talented just look at your cottage you made that happen.🌟🌟🌟

[@natasha5622]

Like I always say…there’s always something new to learn while watching Michael. The minced pies looks delish, the crunch sounds delectable. Loved those lights as a child in the 80s.

[@kristofinportugal]

You guys would make such a lovely couple. Florian is so nice, and cute 😉.

Are they together?

@@ryharr1239 no, they're not.

[@heliedecastanet1882]

The discussion about the "bad tongue" is so, so funny 😂 Thanks, guys. I really think Michael was wondering "what the hell is he trying to say ?" 😂 "Avoir un fin palais" = "To have a fine palate, a delicate palate". So, "Florian n'est pas un fin palais". But you both are definitely funny guys. Never change 😉

[@babschmid]

I love the videos when Florian comes to visit. Your little tree is adorable! The Spode plates will make it extra special and match your kitchen. Thanks for sharing your decorating with us.🎄🎅🤶

[@susandavis6477]

Haha u keep the ornaments forever until u drop one or hang it on a limp branch and it slide off and shatters on the hardwood floor ! Just lost a large teal ornament that way this morning !

[@susancrarer5282]

Those lights are beautiful and you have lovely xmas decorations. I abolutely love your cottage. Cant wait to see you get your stairs and your bedroom and bathroom sorted. I used to cook on a woodrange ,(Our type of woodrange here in NZ, yes fueled with wood ) Amazing to cook in. My influence to have one was my Grandmother who never installed an electric stove. Amazing to cook in. My Grandmothers woodrange had a broken temperature gage, so she used to stick her hand in the oven and say whether it was at the right temperature or not. She was an amazing cook. My mouth would start watering as we walked up her path to her house for tea. Wonderful aromas, glorious memories.. . She also ran a small farm, had sheep, pigs, a horse, handmilked her cows, raised her own chooks, lots of lovely eggs, and made her own butter, right up until the early 80's, And she used her beautiful china cups for everyday use. Another thing I have copied, :) Really enjoy watching your progress.

[@jaxstorey6734]

Hi Susan. Great to see another New Zealander here! Michael, your tree is just beautiful. xox

[@t.s.507]

'J'ai été mauvaise langue' is kind of like saying 'I spoke too soon' when you say something and then retract your opinion or say something you didn't mean, if I'm not mistaken. It can also mean ‘bad language’ or ‘wrong language’. Tree looks great boys! 🎄

Loved this vlog. You and Florian make a great combination; you're both naturals on camera. The other day, I had two mince pies with afternoon tea at my mum's place knowing that I had a six-pack at home. When I got home, I had another cup of tea and polished off the whole pack in one sitting 😳 Point being: you can never have enough mince pies at Christmas 😋 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@nitaguerrero7742]

I love those vintage Christmas lights, so cheerful!

A mauvais langue (BAD TONGUE) is the same as when we say that we misspoke, or we spoke too soon. In Florian`s case it could also be interpreted as judging a book by its cover.

[@anneknight3875]

I finally put up my tree. While my husband was alive we used to go to a tree farm and cut one, then take it back and they would grind them up and put it in the soil when the planted new trees. I just can’t not have a tree. I have a small artificial one I set on a table. It’s enough for one person. Love your AGA cooker. Looks like it makes good pies or maybe you make good pies and it just cooks them right. Merry Christmas to all of you.

I’m very with you with the coloured tree lights, I remember feeling very excited as a young child in the early 70’s when my lovely dad brought home the Christmas tree in deep snow and a very steamy kitchen where mum was cooking the Christmas dinner.
