Your happiness and enthusiasm is so infective. It’s great to start my days working alongside you. My home and life organization is so much better since listening to your helpful videos. Thanks for all of the hard work you’ve put into these very useful videos.

[@DianeinDenmark]

My pleasure! 👋😃

Divorce caused me to have two Christmases. My mom chose Christmas Eve. Celebrating the Danish way for years now.

[@holly5791]

Hey, maybe I have some Danish in me! I love licorice! I love that sampler that your husband made as a child. My oldest son learned to crochet, from my mother, when he was 8 years old. He was really good at it. He even made Christmas stockings. Your needlework is excellent, also. You never can have too many hearts! AMEN! I always enjoy seeing your traditional things! 🙂🎅🤶

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, brilliant, Holly! 🖐😀

[@pattiallen1115]

Dearest Diane, Your love of Christmas "doings, remembrances and decorating" inspired me to find what Christmas decorations and collections I have left. I have miniamlized each year with not much left. Truly , your inspiration, helped me with putting on beautiful Christmas music, to set the mood, as I scrounged up all I had saved. It wasn't much..... a small Christmas tree, a porcelain nativity scene , and Christmas linens .......BUT, they brightened my humble home in remembrance of our dear Savior. Thank you, precious Lady Diane.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, that's lovely - enjoy your little treasures, Patti!

[@diegeferenbach8065]

How fun to rewhatch this! Thanks Diane 🤗

[@strll3048]

What a treat! I had missed this one last year. Thank you...

[@Beaver-li3gy]

You have tons of stuff. I used to buy vintage things...and then I realized that I had lots of things that I hardly used /displayed them (only on Christmas and holidays). Getting rid of 95% of my stuff it was sad and it was the best for me. I hope you can share some of your stuff with your family members and friends. All the best.🥰

[@joyful8072]

I love how you are constantly decluttering so that things don't get out of hand. Once I get to where I wish to be with the big decluttering, I will have to remember to declutter different zones on a regular basis. A little bit at a time makes everything much easier. All the best of the season ♥

[@DianeinDenmark]

That's why I love the Flylady Zones...it means we clean and declutter there consistently! 😀

[@joyful8072]

@@DianeinDenmark I can see the benefits. One day I may get fully on board :-)

[@All.things.grandish]

As you declutter things like cookie cutters, do you check with your kids to see if they will want them for their homes when they’re older? I have a couple things like that from my childhood that I cherish. My mom thought they were nothing special but they bring back memories every time I use them.

[@sue2272]

Creative husband! Bless your sense of humor! 😄

[@StaringCompetition]

I find it really hard to get enthusiastic about Christmas but your video certainly helps!

[@callitags]

My husband is Norwegian, I'm from the U.S., and while we live in the states for now, over the years, I've incorporated some of his traditions into our holidays, and I'm continuing to learn more each year. I really enjoyed this video, as Denmark and Norway share some similar traditions as well as having some differences. I also really enjoy seeing different areas of your home, in your various videos, because it reminds me of my in-laws' home, and that warms my heart. I discovered flylady through you, and I'm just learning more about that now, but I hope it helps me make my home hygge, too. You're a delight. :-)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thank you so much, Callitags - and welcome here!

[@tv_lornahobbylog3691]

i don’t usuaaly decorate too much but little tree but looking at yr video ..i strongly feel buy some items ^^

[@kathrynossoff9524]

Tea Calendar? Love that. To late to get one this year but I have put on my list of ideas for next year. My girls will love it.

[@virginiatatom2724]

The hearts at Christmas represent love to the world? Do you use the hearts again at Valentine's, or is it not much of a holiday? I hang the old, nostalgic cookie cutters on the tree with a ribbon. It was fun, thank you for allowing us into your home 💙

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hi Virginia! Valentines is very much an American and British tradition, though more and more Danish stores are, of course, now selling stuff, seeing another opportunity to make some money! LOL!

[@virginiatatom2724]

@@DianeinDenmark Right!

[@marydrummond5451]

I made the jar with the lid candle holder ... yes I glued holder on ~ it together on top... and number 1~24 white ... and I then got a fancy red candle that I burn till ... but want to save the white candles for next year . Thank you so very much ...

[@reginaquinones4190]

Mary Drummond I would love to make one also! How did you put the numbers on the candles and what kind of jar did you use? Thank you 😊

[@marydrummond5451]

Regina Quinones I did it with a black sharpie fine ...And a X-Acto knife...

[@Julie-ok5fr]

Watching this out of order embracing my T-one-ness, haha Kitchen here is decluttered and decorated a bit:) I LOVE the advent tea calendar!!! Would love to find that here..maybe they have one on Amazon ;) Might be a good Christmas gift for myself for next year.... Off topic, I love your blouse and that cardigan with is is just sooo pretty! Love the chocolate calendars...no matter how (kitch) they are ((smiles))

[@jeannebowes2898]

Have the tree in a tub in the garage, checked on phone and boxwood wreath is in transit [does not grow in this area) Crisp Christmas tea towels are clipped to a tension rod and are curtains for the kitchen sink window. Purchased the mint sauce and mince meat, cane sugar for Christmas dinner. Packing for the trip tomorrow. Will run car through the car wash and vacuum out the pine needles from transporting the tree. We have The Tomten advent calendars. Thank you for your encouragement!

[@luciegallagher2710]

Excellent- always happy to see a surprise declutter! 😂😘

[@DianeinDenmark]

Just for you, Miss L! 😉😄

[@sue2272]

Good job on your stitching!

[@marianna5333]

Congratulations, greetings from Italy. Ciao

[@docmarmalade5224]

Aaaaa, a tea Advent calendar!

[@walkingexercise5375]

Love the cat calendar!

[@danelle1533]

I have a probably silly question. The 24th is when you celebrate Christmas, in the states it is the 25th. Santa makes his trip around the world delivering gifts on Christmas Eve, does he visit houses on the 23rd in Denmark, and then you open presents on the 24th? Just curious. We celebrate on Christmas Eve and then Santa comes and surprises the kids with presents they open on the 25th in the morning.

[@DianeinDenmark]

When my kids were small, Santa would land on the roof and deliver the presents on the 24th. The Danes eat dinner at around 5-6pm on ChristmasEve, then open the presents after we sing and dance holding hands around the Christmas tree. I have a detailed video here on how we spend Little Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 👋😃🎄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYqqfaWAgdB8Y5o

[@jeanninemorgan3526]

@dianeindenmark we had the same deer in pink and one in green as your red one when I was a child!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, the pink one must have looked fabulous, Jeannine! 🦌🤗

[@marydrummond5451]

I am doing the candle thing too

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

Ha! I have a pukka calendar too, just finished today's teabag, I also have two other tea calendars ... But the Christmas Curtains are up in the kitchen ...

[@DianeinDenmark]

Enjoy your tea! What's the significance or tradition with the curtains?

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

Diane in Denmark I did, it was nice tea, and I shared it with my son. The curtains are a "non cluttery way" to decorate for Christmas, and I get he usual kitchen curtains down and washed, so that they are clean when they get back in January. I sew them years ago and they are satisfyingly colorful, and a little silly with pigs, and snow and small tomtar/nisser.

[@lindad100]

I’d love that Christmas calendar candle in the jar. Does anyone know where to get one in US? Diane, your husband’s needlework is beautiful! I used to do that. Thank you for all you do! ❤️🌲🥰

[@allisonc9645]

I NEED one of those too - I am in Texas - - anyone know? I might try to make... not sure how it will turn out.

[@lindad100]

Allison C I looked last year and didn’t find one. Let me know if you do!

[@patsavinda1703]

Are you referring to the candles numbers in the jar? I would like that also.

[@Grtchnjb]

Linda Dulmes There are advent calendar candles on Amazon. I didn’t see any in glass Jars, but a few with the numbers that you can burn down

[@khorner4566]

One day you will have grandkids...you may want to keep the cookie cutters
