Have you finished your Christmas decorating? How are you doing this holiday season? 🎄

[@Inky1313Starlight]

Definitely not! I've barely even started- I just moved into my grandpa's old house cause rent is too high. Everything is still absolutely everywhere from moving, but I think I'm going to try and finally put my tree up today!

[@joancreekmore5754]

Soooooo glad to see you, and happy you are doing better. Those kittens were such a delightful addition to your new home, and wonderful company for you. Your house looks cheery and happy and bright and shiny -- love your vintage decor. Good job, Emily!! Keep it up!!

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch, friend! ☺️❤️

[@tcoladonato]

Thank you Emily - very kind, sweet words. Your home is special because of you and the love you pour in it with the things you touch.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

I have binge watched your videos. You life is really falling into place. I have lived alone for the last 24 years, I love it. ✨️🌻 you will find your way. 2024 will be a great year. Looking forward to your next video.

[@jeannebodine]

What a lovely video! It’s the first one I’ve seen and I’m so impressed. I’m doing a vintage Christmas so I got some really good ideas. Not only are your decorations gorgeous, you exude a real charm and warmth. As someone who lost her husband 2 years ago, I found your message very inspiring. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

[@sandir945]

Emily, you are so sweet to be thinking of others who might be alone or sad at Christmas! Always love your videos and decor and your kitties are so cute!

You're living my dream. Come decorate my apartment. 70s is my favorite era

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

Everything looks amazing!! Always love seeing what you’ve done with your space ❤ Although the panelling is kinda dark, I love it!! It really makes the bright colours pop and feels very mid century which I also love 😊 Wishing you and the kitties (and your tall helper 😉) a magical Christmas ❤🎄

[@emilyretro]

Why thank you 😉🥰🥰🥰🎄

[@aspenglow]

your house looks great! you have some reallyyyy cute pieces (and i love the mushroom kitty house! 🍄) we put out less decor this year too (but not for a fun reason like kitties, we just didn’t feel up to it). i just wanted to say i love your style, videos, and your sweet spirit ♥️ i’m glad things are going better for you, but i also want to thank you for always being real and honest about how life is going, i think you summed it up so nicely at the end of your video ♥️ also seeing the kitties baby daddy made me giggle ! haha

[@emilyretro]

Aw thanks a bunch! And good for you pulling out less decor and taking a bit of a break, I fully support that 🥳🥳🥳 sometimes it’s too overwhelming!

[@shannon_w.]

Oh my gosh your home looks AMAZING!!!! I have been decorating little by little. It has been a very stressful year so I am trying to get in the spirit. Back in the 70's to the early 90's my Aunt and Uncle had a ceramic shop and my Mom made the most beautiful things. She made a very big ceramic tree in the 70's and she gave it to me a few years ago! Everytime I go to my Uncle's house I drool over all the ceramic trees he has! One of them is a white 3 or 4 foot tall ceramic tree! I want that thing sooooo bad!

[@emilyretro]

WOWWWW I WOULD BE DROOLING OVER THAT TREE TOO 🤩🤩🤩

[@sadiegilliland2484]

Your decor looks wonderful. Kitties are getting so big. Your home is cozy looking, I would feel so comfortable there.

[@emilyretro]

Yes they’re little teenagers 🥹🎄

[@dianalytle2816]

Beautiful decorations! I'm happy to hear you are doing well. Kittens are such a blessing! We have a 4 month old ginger kitten who will be getting her spay surgery this Wednesday, I'm glad your two are recovering well from their surgeries. I'm looking forward to your next video. Take care!

[@marymogckmishmashmary]

I love seeing you with the kittens. They have come a long way, you rescued them and they will be your loving kitties forever. Happy holidays.❣️

[@bonniejordan3441]

I love your retro Christmas decor ❤♥️

Aw thanks 😄

[@rachelhoch9816]

Emily, you deserve the world. You’re a beautiful human. Happy Holidays, may they only get more joyous and magical from here ❤

[@deannacorbeil5571]

What a wonderful collection of vintage Christmas items you have! I chuckled as you described your kitten/decoration struggles, as my daughter got two cats from a shelter this past year, and they are quite fond of her Christmas tree. I helped her move things around so that there are no places from which to leap nearby, and we used some cat-safe spray that's supposed to deter them from an area. So far, this seems to be working. I hope you have a lovely Christmas!

[@emilyretro]

Cat safe deterrent spray?!?! I gotta look into that 🤣

[@babygracie68]

Everything looks wonderful ! Change is life’s constant companion and if you can be open to embrace it then wonderful and meaningful things can happen. Peace and contentment to you and the kitties this Christmas 🎄 ❤

[@shabnamtoni9406]

You are amazing, great to seeing you happy again ! Love watching your updates and videos and ofcourse your adorable kittens! ❤

[@debwhelchel8372]

I love your kitties!, love your your vintage Christmas decor and how you styled it! So glad you are happy! Have a merry Christmas!

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch and merry Christmas to you too! ❤️

[@lauratanno17]

Beautiful decorations! And so glad to see you doing well ❤ Also happy the kittens are healthy and being respectful of the tree 😁 Thinking of you this holiday season.

[@clydexochitl129]

I love your decor it’s really awesome !!! Last year I decorated my Christmas tree with vintage and retro decorations with the icicle tinsel on the branches and bubble lights too I got all my decor from the thrift stores and Facebook Market place, I don’t regret it I actually ended up falling in love with the vintage and retro Christmas so glad I made the switch.

[@bonesareheavy]

Everything looks so great Emily! I'm glad your spirits have been lifted this season, you deserve it. I'm thinking that tall elf had something to do with it 😉. I happen to be having a mug of cocoa myself and am going to be watching It's A Wonderful Life on New Year's eve. We like to watch it before New Year's since they sing Auld Lang Syne at the end. Happy wishes to you sweetheart for the new year! 🥳 Pats to the cats😺😺!

[@bostoncharm1]

Hi Emily! This was one of my most favorite videos ever!! Your happiness just beams. I love the kittens and your house is coming along so nice!!! Thank you for sharing. I haven't decorated this year yet.. just not in the mood.. but you inspired me.. so thank you. :) The kitties are so cute watching the snow!!!!

[@marieapple543]

I am so happy for you. You seem in a better place with yourself, with the kittens, and decorating your home. It's so beautiful and I love how you decorated it. I am single live alone had one cat for many years, since living here was lonely, hardships but this year I am in a better place with myself and I am so excited decorating for Christmas. I got another cat (male named Sammy 4years old, and 2 kittens a male Named Tiger the naughty one and female kitten named sweetpea who is a little spicy. kittens are about 12 weeks now and my original cat will be 8 years old this coming summer but she is a very petite cat and all my cats are orange striped cats(I love their personalities). I got my cat some friends because I am busier and then she isn't lonely. I am happier now, have more friends, and a fiance.

[@emilyretro]

Omggggg orange cats are my favorite. Have a merry Christmas with all your kitties 🎄

[@dizzydruid]

Emily! It's so good to see you and the kitties! I really needed a video of yours today 💚❤️ Merry Christmas!

[@dianewilliams9729]

Emily, I have never seen something you have done that is not great. I love all your collections! Your kittens certainly have warmed up to you now. Can’t believe how you were able to hold and snuggle the angel. Oh, my, now Rosie is cuddling with you too…WOW. You were so patient while trying to make them household pets. So glad you are in a happier place. I am single/alone but actually content but holidays can be a little difficult. Thanks for your kind thoughts!

[@emilyretro]

I am so glad you’re content with being single and alone I think that’s an amazing thing! But I understand how the holidays could make that difficult. Hang in there, Diane! 🎄

[@rememberThe80s]

Thanks for sharing your decorations with us. This has been a tough year for me, and I've struggled to get motivated to put mine up. Seeing how nice yours looks is inspiring me to start dragging out boxes. 🎄

[@ArtsyJCreations]

Hi Emily! You look fab in your holiday attire. I cannot believe how cuddly your kittens are now! What fun companions! Loved your video. I want all your furniture. Everything looks fantastic. I hope your job is going well and you are enjoying this season. Big Minnesota hugs! Happy Holidays!

[@CaroleofOakview]

Hang in there, Emily. The first Christmas I had without my soon to be ex-husband was hard. But two months later, I met the love of my life and we have been together for 15 years. It will happen to you, I know it. I also had feral cats around where I was living, and one mother cat was black and the other was Siamese. I did manage to catch them both and get them spayed, but not before they had three batches of kittens between them. I get a kick out of you and your babies. Have you been able to trap the mommy cat and get her fixed? Some humane societies can help you with that. Love your decorations!

[@leanndoolin4284]

Emily, the house looks fantastic as usual. And how special that the kittens have warmed up to you. So sweet! I have a 6 month old black kitten that im trying to decorate around, so Im doing a scaled down version. No vintsge aluminum trees up, no Shiny Brites, etc. But, that's ok. We love our kitties! ❤

[@emilyretro]

Awwww we both have a black kitten this year 🥹🥹🥹❤️

[@SsAa-pb3nx]

You look fantastic! I love your sweater and skirt set. I would wear that :)

[@emilyretro]

Thanks so much!! 😄❤️

[@poodlegirl55]

Merry Christmas Emily, everything is so adorable!!! I'm so happy you have settled into your cute home. And the kittens are snuggling you now!!!! Some years ago I pared down my Christmas stuff and divided it by colors and themes into clear sweater boxes and did away with the big totes. It is so much more fun now to take down a box here and there and use different things and not get out the giant bins and have to trash my house to rummage through them. And sometimes in the middle of the summer I just look up on the closet shelf and can see all my pretties.

[@emilyretro]

That is such an interesting idea I absolutely love that! Thanks for sharing 😄

[@bunacat1]

LOVE the Christmas/New Years sign!

[@emilyretro]

Thanks 😄

[@chinamom0406]

Love your cozy home! Gorgeous kittens. Merry Christmas!

[@brigid6609]

Thank you Emily for this wonderful video. I was thinking maybe you can get your dad to help you to make a few fake walls? Something you can put in front of the wood panneling. Maybe like big screens out of 2x2 then staple your vintage sheets on them? Or cardboard and then fabric or vintage wall paper. The big screens you should be able to fit snug between the floor and the ceiling? Or what I would do, because if you are not completely happy with where you live, it kinda eats at you. Just look around for other places to live. No pressure. I remember last time you had a deadline and that is stressfull. But if you are not in a hurry, just looking for whats on the market, who knows what you encounter ;)

[@emilyretro]

I’m quite happy with where I live especially since I’m adding lots of lights against the paneling 😄

[@cass77788]

I think your items on the shelf are so beautiful i really do but it is too cluttered...I would take some of the items and spread around the house...love the smaller tree....(some good advice : get rid of the cats....shiver) I sure do like the silver trees as well!! they are beautiful hope you get some soon. the vintage tablecloth is a beautiful and smart idea...love...I also love your sweater and skirt...so pretty!!! 2nd hand are great items I have finished my decorating it was a huge job...good day

[@dianajemison105]

I'm so happy that you're happy, and the kitties are doing well. Your Christmas decor looks great! You have so many fun pieces. There was a bit of a piece of music that played at the beginning of the video, and again when you showed the felt wall hanging on the wall. It reminded me of my parents. My dad was a pianist/organist, and my mom was a flutist. I remember them practicing that piece, a lot, when I was a kid. They were the best musicians we had at our church. I lost my dad in 2001, and my mom in September. When I heard that small bit of that piece, it was almost like a little shock. But, I loved it. So, thanks for choosing it. I'm going to have find out what it's called, so I can put it on a classical playlist. Have a wonderful Christmas 😊

[@emilyretro]

I just looked up the song I put in and it’s called “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” I hope that helps. So glad it brought back happy memories for you 🥹🥹🥹

Your house looks great! I haven't had much Christmas spirit this year. I usually decorate the whole house with vintage finds. My daughter always called our house a Christmas wonderland growing up during the holidays. But... my dad just died a few months ago, and all 3 of my children are away in the military this year for the holidays. So, for the first time in a long time, it will be quiet this Christmas. Trying to smile through grief and loneliness is hard, but I know there are those feeling worse than I do. I'm so glad you're having a cheery holiday season. And your kittens are adorable. ❤🎅🎄

[@deannacorbeil5571]

You don't know me, but I wanted to share that I also lost my dad a few months ago, and this Christmas does feel a little strange, as it's the first one with both my parents gone. Grief can be such a struggle, particularly at this time of year, and I just wanted you to know that someone out here feels for what you're going through.

Rosie and Vera's socialization is so touching. You three all needed each other. As for Mama Cat, I am thrilled she has been TNR'ed. Now, you have another customer to trap, neuter, and return - Papa Cat (you can tell he is a Tom with the classic big head)! Happiest holidays to you and your feline (and human) family!

[@emilyretro]

HAHAHA I didn’t know Tom cats had big heads 🤣🤣🤣 that’s good to know!!!

[@julianagreenfield4168]

@@emilyretro typically they have full cheeks (which gives the appearance of big heads) due to their high level of testosterone!

Love that you kept them in mind while decorating this year. One thing you can do next year is put up your big tree up early and train them not to climb it before decorating it. Then you can decorate it and they should stay out of it. Have a great Christmas!
