[@raammartin]

You did an absolute awesome job of decorating, Jen! You constantly impress me with your decorating and organizing skills and I always look forward to your videos!

[@mgster100]

just watched this and you got me looking forward to Christmas. That home is incredibly beautiful. you have lovely taste.

[@veromiami]

Beautiful decorations, very cozy... I can't wait to see your home's video !! :)

[@VintageChrystelle]

Loved this tour! You are so blessed to have such generous in-laws, and to be able to travel to their home with your hubby and your little buddy Winnie! Likewise they are blessed to have you for a daughter-in-law, and who wouldn't love having you decorate or organize for them!!! Does your mother-in-law like to shop with you? Mine loved it (she's gone now), but mostly she liked the stops for pie and coffee! ;-)

[@juliemmm99]

Beautiful decorating...beautiful house, I am in love with it!!

[@twittledee1968]

As always, LOVED IT!!! Loved the plastic ball ornaments, I really need to look into those!

[@MissJodieElizabeth]

Your Utah home is so beautiful I love the decorations you have used :) beautiful festive home x

[@T.R.P25]

How thoughtful of you Jen filming this ahead and then show it now!the perfect time!I enjoy your tips. Keeping track of things is really important because it makes you focus on what you have/have not and organizing like you do helps a lot. Also, taking good care of things is key.Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed watching you dance on Christmas music, it put a smile on my face! I love all your videos. See you next time sweet Jen

[@kristinrutherford8779]

I love this house!!! its very Utah to me with all the wooden furniture

[@terribradford9055]

I love the way you do everything... it looks fantastic. Your in-laws are very lucky to have you in their lives. Very fun to watch the house come together. You did a great job on the video as usual!

[@southerncouponista]

Wow, this is such a beautiful home! You're a decorating guru for sure!

[@MouseChirpy]

Wow, Jen, you've done a fabulous job at decorating your family's Utah home. I love the Adirondack style of the house. It is very warm and welcoming, even more so after you decorated it. Looking forward to seeing more Christmas decorating. I can never get enough Christmas inspiration. Aloha!

[@hopelh]

Hello. It's so BEAUTIFUL!!! I really enjoy watching your videos. You do a great job. Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad that I found your channel.

[@chetramirez]

great job! i guess it really takes a very organized person to put up all that hard work and still enjoy every step of it ... simply inspiring!

[@TAvery09]

So beautiful. I love the holidays, I can't wait for my family to decorate :-)

[@jackandlill]

The nativity upstairs is cute as well. But I love the kokopelli and the tapestry above the Christmas tree. Their home is decorated so nicely.....it looks like they possibly have some Stickley pieces which I adore! You did such a great job Jen. I bet it's so nice for your in-laws to come to their Utah home and have it all decorated. I'm sure the whole family has a great time together during your Christmas week there!

[@lindaalberts8770]

Your Family home in Utah is Beutiful. Thanks for sharing! I got a few tips.. !) Blaket under tree sirt 2) Childrens books on bench standing waiting to be read3) your way of storing and labeling.

[@CozyPinkHaven]

Haha Kokopelli is n the mountains!!! Thats awesome. plus he was decorated n Christmas lights!!!! LOVE IT!!!

[@graytchel26]

Gorgeous family home.I love every bit of it.I love woods and your home is like, my kind of dream house.You're a certified style and organizational guru.Thanks for all the tips and great ideas....

[@malabooluvu]

Looks beautiful ! Can't wait to see your home Christmas tour !!!!!!

[@Cat-wu8xn]

Beautiful decor and house! Love it Jen!

[@WithWonder]

@jackandlill I believe it's by Jim Shore

[@WithWonder]

@maquiavela So your question was removed before I had a chance to reply, but I wanted to let you know that Don & I are very close with both sets of parents and spend a lot of time with both. They both live very close to us. It's Don's parents, however, who own the 2nd house in Utah, so that's why you see videos from there talking about them. I like to keep my family's lives as private as possible.

[@carol18green]

Excellent video Jen. You've given me loads of ideas and tips for my decorations. Brill idea to store by room, my things are in boxes by type which means rummaging through everything to find what your looking for - will def be changing to your way. Loved watching your video as always- can't wait for your home dec video! You are the master I am the apprentice - but I am learning thanks to you. LOL

[@2021jacks]

Your family home is GORGEOUS!!!! Plus your decorating is beautiful!!

[@chonky818]

JEN!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!!!! You are JUST AWESOME!! every video is so informative and ii actually LEARN so much from you!! thank you for letting us into your world!!!

[@hannah_marie23]

beautiful Jen! can't wait to see your main home (= Love all your house decorating tours!! can't wait for more

[@kathrynstewart800]

Beautiful!

[@WithWonder]

@uglybobswife Pictures in a planner is a great idea...I used to do something similar with my bear collection when I used to set them up for the holidays. Now they're in storage though because I need all of the room I have for my ever expanding book collection!

[@MissToDo]

Your idea to store by room is great!! But I'd like to change some things every year..... hmmm?? I had to think about it. Like the style of this house very much, it reminds me a lot of skiing vacations in austria.

[@iheartdc1985]

I really liked how you decorated.Very inspiring. Plus I love the long videos!

[@Lei0208]

So nice Jen. I really love all your work.

[@HeathersStitches]

So festive!! Decorations are Lovely but I also LOVE the House!!

[@KimberleyPaige1]

What a beautiful home! I would live there all winter long!

[@uglybobswife]

love the idea of camouflaging the electric cords ( i am so stealing this idea) as well as the blanket under the tree skirt to make it fuller .... i have pictures in my planner of how the house is decorated...in helps with the decorating from year to year thanks for sharing Jen corrie aka uglybobswife

[@ElizabethCottonTail]

they have such a beautiful home! this has definitely inspired me to start decorating!

[@kjscatmom]

I have a ton of Christmas decorations. I store them in plastic bins (all shapes, sizes and colors of bins, lol!) I mostly put like items together, ie Santas, garlands, angels, etc. I'm giving some thought to packing stuff away by room this year. We'll see. :-)

[@KYVirgo]

Frontgate is one the best stores on the planet. I wish Hold Everything was still around. BTW, the house looks great.

[@MAKEUPyourmindXO]

Great video! I'm Jewish and my fiance is Catholic, so we like to keep things more winter-like when it comes to decorating. I like to turn the house into a blue, white and gold winter wonderland. We each have a miniature tree - mine is white with blue, silver and gold ornaments, and my fiance has a green tree with red, green and gold ornaments. :)

[@jackandlill]

Really pretty nativity!

[@WithWonder]

@sparklequeen101 Those MS houses/buildings were from Macy's several years ago. They were part of a seasonal collection. I don't think that they carry the same items every year.

[@keenalovesyou]

omg! so excited to watch this. you are seriously SO talented, keep up the amazing work jen! (:

[@MyTwilight27]

Jen, I came across this Christmas video this morning because I want to get some tips for my home this Christmas and I thought I would share an idea with you. I think you should put those dining room chair covers over the chairs or a giant red bow or gold bow around it to give an extra touch. I actually did it ours and it does look very elegant and classy. Just a thought. You did a fantastic job and I bet your inlaws are very happy.

[@WithWonder]

@63jacs I'm still learning about filming. I'm working on it :)

[@michelleiswatching]

Was that a statue of kokopeli I saw? Great job, by the way!

[@elisam34]

I love the decorations, it's making me so excited to decorate my own little house!!! I love all the beautiful natural wood! Have you looked at ceramic christmas villages? I have a lovely one that has gotten huge over the years.

[@gracefuld27]

thanks for doing this video Jen!! Its was really helpful

[@WithWonder]

@VintageChrystelle We're not huge shoppers, but we do enjoy spending time together, no matter what the activity might be.

[@MyAriaWeb]

Amazing Job!!!

[@nicole3602]

Are you going to decorate your home. I would like to see a tour on that! It probably looks amazing!

[@SwmGrl99]

loved the christmas musc :)

[@WithWonder]

@elisam34 My in-laws have a train room they designed for the newly renovated basement. We haven't set it up yet, but once we do I'm sure there will be Christmas Village elements for the holidays!

[@amytx1999]

So the basement has a separate kitchen? Beautiful home...

[@kellinicole86]

You mention that your tree and garland are from Front Gate (?) - is that a store, website or brand? Great ideas!

[@hlovesbeauty]

great video!can u do a tour of the entire house? great vid btw

[@brendadallas9006]

love all !!!!

[@WithWonder]

@JenasinJenette Is a teenage flat what I think it is? If so, your kid(s) sure have nice parents!

[@WithWonder]

@matb6b It was good lighting :)

[@tarshacouture]

omg that was an amazing video!!

[@elizabethlovesschool]

every year we have 4-5 trees in my house in the loft we have a candy tree that my nmom puts candy canes and nerdsropes on and in the main floor living room there is our fourteen foot tall christmas tree that we buy every year at the same christmas tree lot(its real) and my moms side of the family is irish so we have an irish tree and in the basement I have my own seven foot white tree filled with pink ornaments:) I love christmas time

[@WithWonder]

@michelleiswatching Yep!

[@WithWonder]

@debschats It's a great collaborative effort

[@WithWonder]

@mzxmir I think my MIL found them at Pier 1 last year

[@WithWonder]

@kellinicole86 It's a catalogue and online store.

[@WithWonder]

@babymarcar That and "at any rate"

[@brmir1527]

can you do a gift wrapping video?

[@Vale08131]

So cute :)

[@jackandlill]

@kotzus maybe it is important to her to ask such a question. I really believe Jen can choose whether or not to answer any question. I think people are just curious sometimes.

[@63jacs]

Great video. What an amazing house and what great decorating. You Americans really decorate big time for xmas. One thing, maybe don't move the camera around so fast when you showing each room. It can get a bit dizzy. from Jacqui in NZ.

[@WithWonder]

@twittledee1968 I think my MIL said she found them at Walmart about 4 years ago

[@WithWonder]

@MissToDo You;ve got to do what works best for you

[@sparklequeen101]

Where can you buy this Martha Stuart you talk about??

[@BrittenLi]

What are the songs you use in this video? I know I've heard at least one of them before, but I can't remember for the life of me what it's called... :) You and I have similar tastes in music, I think!

[@WithWonder]

@brmir1527 Coming soon

[@deniseprater7799]

I agree with whoever said your M-I-L was blessed to have you come decorate the Utah vacation house, The house is so beautiful, as is, but after you got threw decorating it for Christmas it's heavenly! I had a Daughter-in-law like you, She helped me with anything and everything I needed help with, But she left my son for another man ;( and they divorced, But she didn't Divorce me, she will always be my DAUGHTER, and no one will ever be able to take her place in my heart! You can come decorate for me ANYTIME ! I'm not hating, but was there still one spot up at the top of the tree that the light's wasn't working or is it just me, Stuff like that drives me nuts....LOL Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and yours, and to all your viewers as well !!

[@deniseprater7799]

And I forgot to mention how sweet it was of you to not only decorate the house, but to go buy more stuff, the garland and whatever else you may of bought for the house, I understand it's a Family Vacation Home, and you use it a lot, BUT not many people would use their own money to decorate someone else's home, That tells me so much about what kind of person you are, Yes, I know you do a lot of give a ways on your cannels, But to BUY for your Mother In Law is super SWEET of you ! Also I noticed you said Don helped you carry the bin's to each room, isn't it wonderful to just get away with your hubby and even Winnie sometimes ! I look forward to time that Hubby and I can get a way even if it's just for a weekend!

[@531msbieber]
