Preparing for Yule 🌲 DIYs ✨️ Simple Magic & Makeover 🌲

[@wendywarswick5457]

Thank you sweet fairy lady. 2nd year without my mother, feels harder than the first. You brought a little Christmas into my aching heart. Blessings to you.❤️

[@scarlettskies100]

I feel for you ...missing them is part of grief ...and grief is love with nowhere to go...sending love ❤️

OMG 😳😳 I'm so happy literally so excited I was watching her old video that I have already watched 😂 many times

There's nothing like a yuletide decorating video from Allwyn to start my holiday season! 🎄

[@AlwynOak]

Aww I'm honoured! Thankyou sweet 💚🌲

Oh yeeees ❤

[@fairyacorn4854]

There's only one word for your decorations and thats Magical.

[@elizabethmarsden9819]

Thank you. This has made an old child of the wood find the inner child thought lost.

[@fionahaigh708]

I have a 62 year old Christmas tree which over the years has lost all its green spines and become more of a stick tree. I love nature and feel very inspired by your natural home made decorations and greenery, so will decorate my stick tree with orange slices cranberry garlands and pine cones this year, along with anything evergreen I may find. Thank you for your inspiration. Your decorated home looks beautiful and sparkling.

[@joiedevivre2005]

It's a rainy, foggy day here in my part of the world, but I'm cozied up on my sofa with my dog, drinking hot apple cider while crocheting a scarf for a holiday gift & watching your video. A perfect way to spend a morning! Such a lovely holiday scene you have set! A very Merry Yule to you & yours!

[@Ddeonubread]

Oof souds AMAZING. I cuddled up in my pjs (yes in the middle of the day) to watch this with some traditional Christmas gingerbread cakes ugueh it was so goooddd

[@organicmagic8822]

So lovely! Breaks my heart that Palestinian Families are suffering so

[@teresastorms3774]

Ohhh, my goodness, it's pure magic! I have no decorations out because my home is an absolute cluttered meal. I have 4 cats, one who is VERY naughty and will ruin anything I try to do. So, I will watch this video several times and cry because it's everything I wish I could do. Thank you for sharing the beautiful magic with us! ❤❤❤

[@pattycake8272]

My daughter has 6, at first I thought she did want to decorate , but no she can't. I will help where I can.

[@indigoblue4791]

I was going to suggest just clearly a window sill and putting some Christmas bits on there. That's until l remembered Cats love window sills!!! 😂😂😂

[@paulief3817]

Watching this has got me motivated to begin cleansing, organising and decorating for the new season. I'll need to switch out all my Mabon/Samhain decor for my Yule/Christmas things. This is going to involve a trip to the local woods and some kitchen magic- perhaps a festive simmer pot. I already have blackberry vodka (made with foraged berries), Yuletide spiced whiskey and pear and cinnamon brandy infusing in the pantry. I love the smells of this time of year

[@teresastorms3774]

@indigoblue4791 LOL, Yes they do!! I found a spot that might work for my tinsel tree where they can't get to it. I will make sure there is nothing breakable on the tree, too! 😊

[@carolallison9685]

Haha, the cat my parents had when i was growing up used to climb the tree and knock it over. My dad ended up putting a hook in the wall to secure the tree so she couldn't knock it down anymore. That hook was still in the wall when i moved out lol

🌲YULETIDE GREETING'S🌲 🎄🍀🐾🦉🦌That fir tree in front of the painting you made of you standing in the woods, looks like it brings the painting even more to life. And yeah, I'm addicted to that fresh cut pine/fir scent too. That fir garland, that diy tree with the ivy wrap, that owl on the other tree, and the "real looking" fireplace ties it all together. A string of all green, & another of all red LEDs makes a tree & garland look even more forest'y still - gives the pine needles a relaxing glow🏅🥇👏😉✌🦌🦉🐾🍀🎄.

I have an idea for the bark. You could create wrist amulets with them and add some crystals. Which could be used for grounding. You could even wear the amulets sat on the tree stump throne. All my love Elliot…

Good morning to you Alwyn Yuletide greetings to you. I enjoyed your video and the walk in the woods always a beautiful place to spend time . I have a few evergreens in my garden they stand out amongst the almost bare trees. I decorate with ribbons and lights picture perfect.Indoors I have a lot of plants and greenery around the rooms with electric candles it's cosy and warm. Your home looks lovely too. Hugs& Blessings for the season. Whilst the Goddess sleeps we also need the time to relax, to gather our strength for the coming months.💚🌹🌞🦇

[@Cynthia.B]

Your place is truly enchanting! I was wondering how old do you think the trees are in The Enchanted Wood? Do you have any deer there? I love your decorations, and my favorites are your handmade ones (love the sliced oranges, strung cranberries, and glittering pine cones, and those charming black and green leaf paintings). It's also nice to see Mr. Oak and Charlie Cat with you, too! 😊 Wishing you and yours a healthy, joyful, and wonderful Winter season! ✨💚🦌🌲✨

Hello Alwyn and blessings to you and your family ❤ I have 2 trees in my house, the main one which has a fairy on top 🧚🏿‍♀️ and a pink one in the kitchen that I hang chocolate on ☺️ x x x

[@Theodosia537]

Darling Alwyn! I hope you don't mind a rather long comment: with one suggestion, one question, and a lot of praise hehe! I adore how cozy your wee cottage is, your decor aesthetic so matches mine, and every time i watch one of these video's i am either nodding my head in agreement with your choices, or writng down those that inspire me. Yes i make lists for cleaning ans projects too, ever since i was a little girl. They are both pleasurable and comforting. The suggestion i had is to consider getting a live tree in a pot, for next year. We had a lovely pine tree one year from a tree nursery, and then planted it in the forest after yule. It isboth a way to be sustainable, give back to our environment, and enjoy a real tree in our home. And finally, my question is about fashion: where did you purchase that sweet tartan frock? I love tartans, and the red is so festive. Thank you for your videos, the magical lens through which you see the world, and the genuine charm and vibrancy that you bring to each one. Much holiday cheer and winter blessings to you, Alwyn. As well as to Mr Oak and fuzzy Charlie. A very Merry Yule from Mt Angel, Oregon! 🎄✨️🐈‍⬛

[@kimberley6446]

Yes agree with the living tree! Then the garden could become it's own forest 😊

For the semi circle bark: get a large candle and bind the bark around them with rustic twine and decorate with little nature baubles!

[@tessuntangled3505]

Alwyn!!!! Happy, Merry YULE!!!! 🌲🎄🌲🎄 It is so beautiful!!!! Sorry for all the exclamation points, but I get so giddy and happy when your videos come out. I live in a small apartment and I have a small (fake) tree in my bedroom. I decorated with a lot of on-hand items and natural pieces as well. Dried flowers, little glass jars with nature in it, some painted and made items and some ribbons and faery lights. I was in a high control group for several years and missed out on the beautiful tradition of seasonal decorating. THANK YOU for your incredible decorating abilities, your inspiration and your love & joy. Have a wonderful month of Yule celebrations and I wish you and your loved ones calm, peace, joy and love. --Tess

[@clawa1970]

Looks amazing and reminds me of my winter decorations. Since my husband wants to have the lights up during the whole dark time ot the year, I do not decorate for christmas any more, but for winter. So I use a lot of trees, deer, birds and houses as well as antique ski, ice skates and a wooden sledge. And of course lots of lights. Even our christmas wreath with the 4 candles (one for each Advent Sunday) has a lot of birds on it. So no need to take the decoraton down after the holidays. 😁 I love your idea, to incorporate your christmas tree from last year into your decor. You really have turned your home into an entchanted forest. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@evegrace12]

Alwyn, I'm always amazed by your decoration and your DIYs but this time you truly outdid yourself. Your house looks like a magical forest realm. Your hard work paid off. I only have one tree in my living room because i have two dogs and having a tree when they get the zoomies can be a recipe for disaster. However, what i love the most is putting up christmas lights around the house. They help create this warm and enchanted atmosphere inside when everything outside is dark and cold. I truly loved this video and just like you, i love watching your previous videos as an inspiration for the coming Sabbats. You energy always motivates me. Happy Yule, Alwyn and everyone reading this. I hope you all have a wonderful Yule with your loved ones.

[@TheAnimalsMagicShop]

Love all the trees and your lounge looks so woodsy. I'm having a girlfriend over a couple of days after Yule, and another the week after so I need to do the same as you with no excuses this year! Thanks for the inspiration - you did a stellar job in spite of not being yourself health wise and I can see the feline of the house along with the fairies approve of your choices 🥰 As always, your piano music is soothing and I really enjoy listening to it. Thanks, Alwyn, and I wish you and your family many Blessings for Yule and beyond.
