Your words are very powerful. The holidays are an extremely hard time for many. Hearing you say, "if you chose to skip Christmas / Holidays", then skip it, is so true. We as humans tend to do things we grew up doing with our families or doing things we see others doing. We need encouragement to know its ok if we are not up to it this year. If you have a family talk to them about it. Instead of decorating and gift giving, maybe just put up one thing you all agree you love during the holidays and as for gift. Do something nice for someone you know or love or for someone you don't know. Gifts of kindness go a long way. Thank you Anna for being such a down to earth lady. You inspire me to look around and do what makes me feel good, not follow the trend.

I’m so glad u brought that blue/white plate wreath out again. Love it! I made on for my daughter’s play room years ago bc they were into tea parties and used tiny b/w tea set. I wish I still had it now for my granddaughter. It was precious and brought me joy. Love ur direction Anna! Ur doing a great job. Not many decorators keep with the classic/traditional decor, they go with whatever is latest & greatest. Not my vibe! God bless America! 🇺🇸 ❤🙏. John 3:16

I feel compelled to tell you that, as soon as I get up in the morning, I take the dogs out and then put on your latest video. I recently joined your channel, and I love the fact that you try to make do with the things you have, rather than run out and get all new decor. The plate wreath is soon sweet! I am going to try to make it for my kitchen. The kitchen is my favorite room in the house. I must say. I love the way your library turned out. It is so beautiful, yet looks so comfortable and cozy. I am currently binge watching your Vlogmas. Love your hair color. Thank you for being a reliable KZbinr. I really look forward to your daily videos.

Good morning; your kitchen looks beautiful; everything you did is festive and elegant. You're so right about just doing what you feel and not trying to follow any rules.

Anna, your kitchen turned out lovely!! I’m a blue and white chinoiserie girl, too. How are the plates attached to the wreath? I’m with you on simply changing out what decor is already in place with seasonal pieces-it does make it easier! Suggestion- try a pretty mixing bowl in your baking vignette and place the rolling pin inside the bowl along with a Christmas dish towel with part of it draping out. The deer looks great on the kitchen island. I enjoy watching you decorate. You inspire me!! ❤️❤️

Hey Dawling, The Christmas ELF on Shelf & Book for Kids? When my children were little & we went to relatives houses ( we had him placed different places each day) but we would take his to each place & put him out. Lol ( we finally got smart an gave into each grandparent) LOL. Such fun to watch their little eyes. We even let him be in car one day… lol. 👍👍👍. My vavvv is way you did blue dishes. 🏆
