ASMR Making A Festive Garland For The Fireplace & Looking Through A New Book Together

[@jsmith5509]

Winter is the season of rest. This is the time to wind down and reflect upon the past and ponder the future. It's a beautiful time of year if we are in tune with the rhythm of nature. Your table setting is beautiful.

[@jessicarettally6534]

Love this

[@janicegardner5027]

I agree - winter is a time when maybe we spend more time indoors - focusing on the home.

[@carole8142]

What about the homeless people.

[@janicegardner5027]

@@carole8142 Yes - that is not possible for many and it is our job to assist them as best we can.

[@jsmith5509]

@@carole8142 , I agree that is a MAJOR issue for the homeless. There's NEVER a "good" time to be homeless but a cold winter seems to be the worst. Likewise, a scorching summer heat is also a threat to those who have no home. I'm involved in some organizations that are ATTEMPTING to ease the discomfort of people while they are exposed to the weather. There are so many people in need. Thank you for remembering them.😥

You come across as a kind and gentle soul Nicolas and that is why we all love you and wish only the best for your journey through life.

I am always so sorry to see your videos come to an end. I want them to continue yet alittle longer. I do so enjoy this visit with you each week. Your videos are very relaxing and inspirational. Thank you Nicolas for sharing so many wonderful thoughts and ideas to help us make our lives more beautiful.

[@robertdunbar2434]

Nicolas, thank you for another enjoyable episode. Your opening comments were inspirational and set the tone for your mantle, table decorations and new book. You see the beauty in all things, and inspire others to change their perspective in viewing changes in life. Your words are poetic. You were once saddened by the loss of summer leaves, but now you see the architecture of the bare winter branches. You are a beautiful soul. Our world could use more people with your vision and outlook. God bless you. All the best from New York, Robert.

I love that your garlands are real leaves and berries. I also think even though your tablescape is nice and earthy and green, I agree with others that adding that christmasy garland with berries makes it look more festive. I love it.

[@aprilninthr2886]

Table looks beautiful and inviting. Thank you, Nicholas, for another calming video.

[@agds91078]

Hello sweet friend Nicolas! Thank you yet again for another calming soothing video. Please do us some soft spoken story time and ASMR vids when you can. I for one would greatly appreciate any video you did for us. As someone who has dealt with severe anxiety and panic disorder since a small girl you have no idea how helpful your videos are to me and how calming your voice is. Being someone who has fought stage 2 triple negative breast cancer this past year and a half your videos has helped me more than you know, especially those days I was so weak and sick from chemotherapy and stuck in the house due to being afraid of exposure to Covid when dealing with a severely weakened immune system,..it was your videos who helps me pass that time and soothed me. Now being in remission for a year now I’m back to dealing with worse anxiety than ever. Having a fear that breast cancer will come back I turn to your videos to help ease my restless mind day and night when I need them most. Thank you again @Nicolas Fairford for the videos you create for us, please keep them coming! Sending so much love to you, your family and our friends here in the comments all the way from the southeast Kentucky mountains 💙

[@lizcosgrove8199]

I wish you well I've been on that journey too. All we can do is try and not thinking about it and try and plan 1 thing to do every day to get out of the house. I find it's helped me enormously and keeps my mind right. Like you I love Nicholas's voice and its so lovely gentle and soothing and he's helped me through the alone times when I couldn't go out near people incase of covid. It's not so bad now but still I'm keeping away from crowds this winter to lesson the chance of getting covid pneumonia again. I got it 2 days after finishing treatment. Hopefully we'll both stay well now. 🙏 blessings to you from Ireland 🇮🇪 💚💚💚

[@selmamendonca2702]

Being from a tropical country, Brazil, it is almost summer here, and our winter is definitely milder than yours. I enjoy your videos very much. I love the way you decorate things. The table setting is beautiful. I hope you will share more tablescapes with us. 😀

[@angelfire2085]

Nick, I must thank you for the inspiration you give to all of us, I personally had a real tough week, and just watching this video has helped me so much to focus on good things in life and leave the anxiety behind a little.... your soothing voice, your inpiring words and the very content of your videos... are healing! thank you so much and keep doing what you enjoy the most! oh the table looks absolutely wonderful, love the colour and woodland theme )

Hello Nicolas...so enjoyed the video! You did a beautiful job on the mantel and tablescape! Your vision of "green" is not only symbolic, but spiritual.

Such a lovely understated mantel; one that can be enjoyed all winter long. What I love about the table-scape is that it will transition easily beyond the Christmas season and work will throughout the winter with minor adjustments. Well done!

[@DanteRaweater]

A tip a friend showed me too keep candle sticks in they're place is to wrap a bit of cling film on the bottom then put it in the holder and then they don't slip or tip when you move them around.

[@sandrahedqvist]

Nicholas, I believe what your lovely table needs is some balance in the background, think of a theatre play or a ballet the stage has layers of decor and lighting from the back leading up to center stage where the performers are. So how about giving your imagination free reign regarding your background such as your side board and the spaces on either side of it? I should also think about “height” and add something whimsical or traditional to your mirror, perhaps some dried foliage or a garland with pinecones and mistletoe to remain in your masculine theme colours and of course more candles, happy decorating. Happy holidays from Switzerland

Just like the book you were sharing, it’s about timeless elegance. Thank you again for your vlog. I am proud to be a supporter. Stay well. BTW I loved hearing in the background of Sophie’s paw steps as you were decorating the mantle. It’s somewhat reassuring that all is right with the world. 👍🏻🙏😎
