You mentioned in this video that you have a hawk in your neighborhood that flies around on a daily basis. In your last video, you said that you were disappointed that the birds weren’t visiting your new bird feeder. I think the presence of the hawk is why you haven’t seen the other birds use the bird feeder. We had the same issue with the birds not using the feeder. Once the hawk left the area (and eventually he did) the birds used our feeder a lot.

I love Christmas decorations, but I'm always happy when it's cone. Have a new clean space and start the new year. I take it down in parts because of my health and energy. Wishing you both a healthy and abundance 2024.✨️❣️

[@junebug58]

🎄YES! I had Several of the Plastic Holiday Hanging decorations like your Santa growing up!!!😍When I saw you had bought it, It brought back SO many memories ❤💚❤

[@vonitadustylgreen2914]

I just put away my Christmas ornaments and dressed my tree in Mardi Gras ornaments.. My beautiful tree stays up year round with different holiday ornaments each holiday.. I see Walmart in many towns are doing this since covid... Have a blessed week. Stay safe. Much love to you and Tampa Jay..

[@heathermanning5368]

Yes Love the vintage Popcorn plastic! Remember those as a kid they also had Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Valentines day.

[@sweethartjen]

I'm so glad you're feeling better, Cris!!! You could potentially use some of those red and white ornaments along with the red and white lights on a spooky Valentine tree! 😁

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

I got my wrapping paper holder from Joannes. Cloth zipped container.

[@user-nw5pr1xz9m]

Love all your decorations. How about doing a Valloween tree for Valentines Day 💝

[@stacyragland3123]

Yes! I do believe a Valoween tree would be adorable! ♥️🖤❤️🎃🤍💜👻💋👼🏼🏹💌🌙⭐

[@jenniferjones-edwards9729]

Yes, we had the Santa and Snowman plastic decorations! I'm sure my Mom still has them somewhere! Also, hawks prey on other birds. My Dad fights a hawk and starlings each Spring to keep them away from the Purple Martin and Bluebird houses.

[@AmytheGeminiWitch]

I had that Santa in my childhood back in the late 70's and early 80's!! 🥰

[@J-dn1tv]

Happy New Year to you and Tampa Jay🎉 I too grew up with that “plastic Santa”. I remember it from the 1970-1980s. I recall we had a 2nd one- a Snowman.

[@jennifersnowden3044]

We had covid and influenza over Christmas. We are feeling a lot better. Love your videos.

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

Always love your content. Thank you ❤

[@EHFloridaDream]

The plastic Santa's were around in the 70's, there were also Snowmen, and Christmas Trees that I remember.

[@MikeRuh01]

I think next weekend we are taking down ours. I'm do busy this weekend I don't need to add another thing to my weekend.

[@evil_juggalo_1014]

What is shockingly scary what is we were sick Christmas time and we had Christmas twice to so that is awesome thank you and blessings from Tennessee💙🖤👁️💚♎🧿 I took down the Christmas tree and the decorations in the living room at least now I got to take the decorations out of the window I love your shirt too cuz it's totally awesome use those black balls in ornaments on my tree with some red hearts and make it a Valentine's Day trade that's what I do with my little tree made it a Gothic Valentine's Day tree and also Jade the a Libra is doing the same thing she has her a Gothic spooky Valentine's day tree

[@jenniferbarnes1053]

Yes I remember the plastic sign and my grandma had a silver tinsel Christmas tree

[@carols-cauldron]

I have the same hawk ornament! I bought it in honor of our son, who loved all birds of prey, especially hawks.

[@CristheGirl]

That’s awesome!!

[@noellesimagination7813]

Glad you are feeling better.

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

Goodbye Christmas Hello 2024! Glad you are feeling better. Maybe I will run into you one say around Tampa! Tampa Jay was nice but I was like....Where's my my CTG? Shopping of course! Lol!

[@janicestewart8291]

Sorry you were sick thru the holiday. You were not alone. I watch a few others here on utube...they all got sick Christmas or just a few days later and were sick for the New Year. We all want to have memorable Christmases and most of us are out this time of year shopping,and getting together with family and friends... This time of year has had a host of illnesses...most people are getting covid again, not to mention the flu, a stomach bug, and a respiratory thing called rsv. Not a best time to be out but, we did it. I just hope everyone gets thru all of this crud now. Just a note on the date--January 6th. It's called; Epiphany---you were not off on timing.😊 many wait until after the 6th of January to take down their seasonal decor. The ornament your puppy got ahold of becomes a memory later. I have a couple our dog years ago got ahold of and he is no longer with us. Those ornaments are now very special to me, lol---it's all about creating memories right? The plastic santa is one of many holiday decor pieces and people call it "popcorn" plastic---I never knew that myself until I watched a utuber. They make that type plastic decor for all the holidays including Halloween. 😁😉 You take care.😊

[@pennysworld1317]

Im glad you’re feeling better. My daughter’s whole family had Covid over the holidays 😢.

[@Elyse1997]

I put away our stuff last week but as i watch this, im cleaning up my documents, getting ready for taxes, happy new year!

[@waterhorse5199]

🦋🌚🎃Cris, the “spooky tree” can have a winter solstice theme, maybe? I think that would be cool.

[@mikegriffin7600]

I got flu on 21st December and I'm still suffering with the cough and my ribs are so sore I understand the pain you went through, fun video loved it as always

[@catherineaw143]

Here In Arizona we get hawks too but unfortunately they attack and eat the poor pigeons. Great ornaments Cris 👍🏻🎄

[@debrawheeley9374]

I got covid 2 days before New Years Eve and am just getting over that 🎉

[@desisbohoflamingo9313]

Great video! That's a vintage 1960s 1970s popcorn Santa!!! He's great everyone had one they are very collectible! There were popcorn easter ones like bunnies and chicks and Halloween ones ! The Merry Christmas sign is a 1980s vintage dead giveaway is "hearts" country hearts every kitchen had!!!

[@Elephant2024]

Cris, thanks for maintaining the spirit of Christmas. So glad you are feeling better. A couple of inspirational quotes for you: "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."- Charles Dickens "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." - Calvin Coolidge

[@tamabeams]

you should do a black and red tree for V-day

[@TwoTicketsToAdventure]

Putting Christmas decor away and all you said was exactly how I feel about putting it up and taking it down. I also start with the easy stuff. Stuff that has boxes. The loose stuff we put in ornament boxes. I hate how long it takes to put away but it's gotta be done. The Garland from Killstar has decor with the Leviathan Cross. Awesome video. Love story time and glad you're feeling a lot better. 🖤 Tampa Jays ornaments are sooooo cute!

[@waterhorse5199]

💚🎃🖤So glad Jay is a “Prometheus” rather than an “Epimetheus.” 😄 Very helpful in a relationship.

[@pennystonecypher5242]

Just got our Christmas decor put away. I know I’ll find an ornament or too. Happy New Year 2024 video.

[@sarahmijares3292]

Thanks for taking down our Christmas decor with me as well! 😆 Now let’s light an incense!!

[@CristheGirl]

That’s exactly what I did afterwards!! 😊

[@danielknepper6884]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@HalloweenQueen2024]

These flu was the worst my family everyone got the flu after my brother my niece and sister in law came back from Disneyland we all ended up getting sick five days before Christmas everyone was still coughing by the time Christmas came around and by the 1st of January we were somewhat better by then but still coughing it was the worst flu I’ve ever had and definitely pray ppl stay safe out there but everyone been getting sick like everybody I know has been sick with the flu and it literally feels like you’ve been run over by a truck a million times it sucks 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢all I have now is a lingering cough now which sucks but I’m dealing with it

[@geewat]

Love the tree debris.

[@yoanna_andersen]

Hi Cris I know you mentioned that you don't decorate for Valentine's Day but if you're gonna keep your spooky tree up a little longer maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to decorate it for Valloween since you did such a great job decorating it for Halloween 💕👻🖤🕸️🕷️

[@CosmicKingGeorge]

Hi Cris 👋. You and Tampa Jay are the best 🙂.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Did you get all those tiny Santa hats off your figurines by the tv?

[@CristheGirl]

I did!! Or at least I hope so 😊

[@SarahSnow87]

You should bleach just a few streaks and do peek a boos. Less of a commitment if the color doesn't turn out pretty.

[@robertt.50]

Cris, you can use electric cord wraps for your Christmas lights. Drill a hole at one end and hang them up. Saves room in your bins.

[@carols-cauldron]

Nice idea! We have always used cardboard "planks" in that manner, except we just stood them up vertically in our bins. 😊

[@desisbohoflamingo9313]

Just a suggestion, maybe some tobacco baskets and you can lightly fill that wall with them in the center use some greenery and witchy items like white sage etc... just an idea!

[@MikeRuh01]

Pine needles on the floor are the worst.

[@davidgarrett6951]

I have a relative who has a fake tree that they leave up all year and decorate it for every holiday

[@TampaJay]

❤ I love you

[@CristheGirl]

I love you!

[@AmytheGeminiWitch]

Also I don't know if you've figured out what the sigils are on that garland but they are Leviathan cross sigils. ❤

[@mariebruzdowski6466]

The plastic Santa is melted plastic pieces together

[@WendyMurray-gr6jb]

Good morning Chris

[@capriceg7042]

(#57) It can be repaired

[@simply_kim62]

Good bye, so long, see ya later Christmas stuff!!!! Good to see ya.

[@CristheGirl]

👋🏼 🎄🖤

[@leearmstrong2743]

Mornin Cris!!

[@CristheGirl]

Gmorning Lee!!

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

I am patiently waiting for all the LED batteries to run down in my Christmas decor so I can remove the batteries, and store everything safely for next year. 😊 Hugs 🤗

[@TyhlerNovac]

Now the toy vendors can come up with a better idea for next year maybe we can start advertisement for Christmas Eve and earlier why even take a break from it right am I wrong or am I right

[@lorrainedaniels1238]

You asked why you aren’t getting the birds to your feeder, well probably because you have a Hawk in the neighborhood. That will sometimes scare other birds away ❤
