SHOPPING + CHRISTMAS DECORATING 2023 | 12 DAYS OF VLOGMAS

[@LindaLou-oh6qz]

It is nice to see the pops of red for Christmas. A home comes alive with a little color to break up all the black and white. Nice! May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas with new memories in your new home.

[@jenniferwilson5611]

Just watched this one again and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything is so beautiful!

[@CrystalTara]

Yay! Thank you! I appreciate you watching again.

[@IamSnowbird]

Very pretty. I would bring the ice bucket down where it would be easier to use.

[@kaceyharms3135]

So cute. Greenery with soft twinkle lights on top of the cabinets would really pop the bar area. Such a great space.

[@kristinejackson5522]

I so agree. It looks a little bare.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Perfect timing, I just sat down with lunch. Excited for 12 days of Vlogmas with you.

[@wandasharpe7270]

Crystal I love how you decorate but I think the Ice Bucket would be better beside the Ice Maker easier to use😊 less work for you

[@crystalgardner7277]

Crystal, I would hope that no one would expect you to have your new home fully decorated in such a short time! I’m looking forward to the changes and new additions over time! 😊

[@JoyceBrockway]

YAY for Vlogmas! So happy you are sharing bits & pieces of your days with us during the holiday season! Love seeing how you are decorating all the new spaces in your home. Everything looks BEAUTIFUL!

[@lisadeedee1750]

This is a wonderful channel!! Always uplifting! A nice pick me up when life gets a little heavy. Thank you Crystal!!

[@aileenbell6750]

I loved your bar decorations. Never ever apologize for your tiered trays. I adore them! Blessings to everyone.

[@judithmitchell4667]

Hello Crystal! Thanks for sharing your day with me. It makes me want to get cleaning and decorating. I loved the garland and wreaths strung across the streets in town. It reminds me of the street decorations they had in "It's a Wonderful Life" - charming. We have something like that in the small town I'm in. Have a lovely day, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎤🎭

[@barbkrieser8972]

Hi, Crystal!!! So happy you like my "Gingerbread Joy" decoration....pantry sounds great! You have been the first Utube channel I started watching....you are a special person and wonderful Mom and wife...thanks again for sharing Vlogmas this year...the kids are growing up so fast!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@pamelamaurer2076]

I am just the same way in terms of putting so much pressure on myself. I had trouble letting go when my children were young. Just keep reminding yourself it is good enough

[@lancaster643]

I love your new house at night with the Christmas lights on Crystal. The kids would have LOVED decorating the cookies 🍪 as usual. Nice to see you ironing. I watch your videos when I’m ironing and then I don’t feel guilty 🤣😂

[@tammyleviner3070]

Ok first.. at the beginning I saw the little elf with his Vikings hat on, my husband and son are big Viking fans, so that was cute😁 And my husband would kill for a golf space like that, he loves golf! But your home is gorgeous, you've decorated so, so pretty.. and the coziness at night was amazing! Loving all your videos❤

[@RegularExperts03]

Woohooo is a part of vlogmas into a look of santa claus right now!

[@Lollylolly7765]

Garland and lights up top would be nice and I think you need some height in the middle.

[@gailfenander223]

Lynette Yoder uses Rub and Buff to change colors on metal. Easy to use, comes in a tube. Cheaper than buying another item 😊. Everything looks cozy!

[@tammyrosenberger3023]

🙋‍♀️Crystal, you truly are amazing! Your home looks beautiful! Merry Christmas❤🎄😇 Tammy

[@jeanzammas500]

You know you're in your 70's when you' don't care about the towels you just smooth with your hands...you have so many years yet!! Love your show

[@CrystalTara]

LOL! Love it!! I usually don't care, but maybe I've started something with ironing. 😂

[@tammycolvin2343]

Love your bar!! Your channel is so relaxing and calming and youre so hilarious!!!!

[@terryruiz7417]

Thanks for the night view of the house with the trees on. I wish more people would do that. Its absolutely lovely!

[@hollydobson4855]

Your home is just beautiful! I’m sure you and your family will really enjoy it this holiday season!

[@susanbrechbiel7033]

Great video as usual Crystal , thank u so much for sharing, so fun, yes definitely enjoying the holiday season n the decorating! Happy holidays to u n yours n to u all! 😊❤️🎁💕⭐️

[@justbrowsing5963]

Looks Perfect to me!! Love all your Christmas Decor

[@sandiweishaupt8483]

You could use rub and buff in the gold around the metal part of your tiered tray.

[@CrystalTara]

I should do that - thank you!

[@annedoucette7331]

Great video! Enjoyed watching!

[@MrsCScraps]

Crystal, Your Kids Are Truly Having A Wonderful And Magical Childhood. Your Home Is Just So Special! Not Only Beautiful But YOU Bring The Magic. Such A Mama Inspiration. Happy December & Vlogmas 🤍✨🎄

[@dotgoodwin4312]

I really like the bar!

[@margieneary272]

Crystal! Your doing a fabulous job decorating your new, beautiful home. Everything you do is perfection in my opinion. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, just take yourself back to last Christmas, when you made your rental cabin cozy for the family for Christmas. Are you going to show us the Grinch theatre room? Every time I see something Grinch in the stores, I think of you. 🤗🌲

[@wendyriggles7589]

The tier tray actually balances out the ice maker on the other side. I think you are your biggest critic. Your decor always looks great and so creative. I love it!

[@moonbleu8858]

Thank you for showing the house at night! It's magical! ❤

[@pam7825]

Crystal…everything looks wonderful!! Bar looks amazing & I love the tiered tray! Cookies look great! Love your videos! 🎄

[@tracy_222]

So cute all the cookies👍🏻🍪🎅🏻🤶🏻

[@juliecree8756]

Just a suggestion to move ice bucket down where you can use it. I love how the house is coming together. You do a beautiful job.

[@teressagoldstein3769]

Yay to volgmas!❤

[@donnajohansson4105]

Beautiful bar area. Lovely glasses.Your husband will enjoy the golf simulator 😂

[@michelebaldwin1942]

I’m so glad to see this! I was afraid you weren’t going to do Vlogmas this year. I enjoy it so much-you add a lot of Christmas cheer to the season❤.

[@maryannkilduff8659]

It's such a busy but wonderful time of year. The bar area looks so nice. Everything you touch looks gorgeous, you definitely have the knack for decorating. Looks like a fun cookie decorating afternoon. Enjoy this holiday season with your beautiful family! ❤

[@kristinejackson5522]

Crystal I love your videos. I cant get enough. ❤

[@karenworks2491]

Your bar area looks so nice and festive. I touch of mini lights would just make it sparkle 🎄🤶

[@patriciavogelsperger9645]

Your bar is amazing. Very few homes have bars and yours is beautiful.

[@kellieroth1710]

Add some greenery and fairy lights on top. That would be so fun!❤

[@4merroad4man25]

I love how the bar area turned out! Once you add the rug it will be perf3ct!

[@shygirl-vg9re]

Great stuff

[@caracampbell1715]

Your house is massive!! First time I’ve seen the bonus room.

[@annahoover5296]

Crystal love that bar ,and the golf are a going to be amazing.also love the gold tray.

[@nhmountainwoman3203]

Your home is beautiful and so festive for Christmas…a suggestion for the carpeting pulled up is to have the edges bound of larger section(s) to use as area rugs. Also if you add some white vinegar to your wash it acts as a cloths softener and lessen wrinkles.

[@alejandrorodriguez6812]

Hola, excelente video, felicidades, 😃

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Hi Crystal everything looks so warm and cozy, I always enjoy when you decorate for Christmas 🎄. It is so hard to decorate in a new or different home. I had s many years in my other home, I have been here 8 years and it’s just coming together. Looking forward to your next video❤

[@janicebaker-lv9er]

SO BEUATIFUL!!

[@debbiemccann3711]

Always love watching you come up with such pretty decor.I didn't buy much this year but took what I already have and put it in different rooms.That ice cream looked wonderful.

[@kathycunningham6677]

Hi Crystal, Oh the bar area came out so so pretty and festive. I love it. It’s true…it’s you’re first Christmas and it doesn’t have to be perfect. Through my eyes, it is so beautiful and sings Christmastime. The cookies are all decorated so beautiful..great job kids! Enjoy all the new memories this season. Thank you for all the joy you bring to us. Have a merry n bright day.😊 PS I’m very intrigued by the Ninja….ice cream! Oh yummy

[@kelleysigler9759]

Wow. That man attic game room !!! Tons of family fun I can see this winter! Maybe add a small round game table too. Love those candy canes glasses !

[@Leluhuba]

Crystal, I see your mini fridge and oh my how it looks so much better than mine. I still struggle with how to fit everything in there. I see you even have some things standing up straight where I thought (for some dumb reason) I had to lay them all down. Possible game changer... even if just for me :D

[@dawnpaidoussi276]

It looks fabulous ‼️

[@michellewissler3013]

Crystal your bar area turned out wonderful! I love everything you did! I know you will put it to good use! You create such special moments with your kids! I love how you always have them in mind and are creating such a loving and wonderful childhood! It warms my heart to watch all your videos! All these activities and special moments will be remembered 💖 They grow up way too fast! I'm so very happy you are doing your 12 days of Christmas vlogs! These are some of my favorites 😍 Thank you for all you do in creating such amazing videos! You truly are so special 💕 I hope this Christmas season brings you all the joy your heart can hold. 💖✨💕🎄🕊️

[@rebeccaklarich2756]

These are my fav videos, I think your house looks fantastic and it’s a pleasure to watch you go about your day.

[@amymyselfi7085]

Did you buy the ice bucket for decor rather than for the bar since you have the ice maker?

[@nitanalleyclark802]

Awesome vlog! You are a busy lady! I know the feeling! Your cookies looked delicious!

[@lainaliotta9487]

Your videos bring me so much joy ❤️

[@shelleywall5556]

Yay for Vlogmas with Crystal🎉. Thank you for sharing the struggle with perfection and accepting when it’s not

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

The bar area turned out so nice! All of you did a cute job with the cookies.

[@debbiewright8742]

How can you use the ice bucket , with it up on the top shelf for decor ❓just wondering

[@robinbennett881]

Great job pulling your decor together. So much fun!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

It all looks wonderful:) Wow the cookies looked great:) tfs and God bless:)

[@lezbounin2289]

Crystal, get some Rub n Buff for the galvanized part of your tiered tray! I used European Gold on the galvanized BELIEVE curved sign from Hobby Lobby and I LOVE IT! Rub n Buff comes in many different gold tones. Lol I have that Candy Cane sign! Used it in my powder room this year-not that we eat in there, it just fit with my decor 😂

[@BChanPuzzles]

Loving all of your Christmas decor videos! Would love to see the golf sim. We have one in our new build.. moving in March! :)

[@karenkinyone613]

Stop over thinking everything ! Everything you do comes out gorgeous always 🎄🎄❤️❤️

[@lindaloufogle549]

Beautiful! I loved the plaid decorated cookies! Kids did a good job!❤️😃

[@suewilson6540]

My Grandma ironed and starched everything back in the day🤗

[@cfaith59]

What are you planning to do withthe extra carpet? You can bind the edges and sell it.. people would buy.. Im totally buying that lamp for the candle🎉

[@mariawilliams1314]

I bought one of the candle warmers from Amazon and just love. Mine has a timer on it, they all might come with a timer. I am an asthmatic so burning candles really bother me but not the candle warmer.

[@cathymorse1801]

You look so pretty in red you should wear it more often I love all your decorations

[@CrystalTara]

Thank you!!

[@laurenm8315]

I love your house, it’s no beautiful! I’m excited for vlogmas!

[@shellysizemore9398]

Your home is absolutely gorgeous and so festive and cozy.

[@ruthprovost1781]

Hi Crystal, very nice video and happy birthday to your little girl, cookies look delicious

[@disneycrazy381]

You are absolutely precious! And you have such a beautiful talent for decorating!

[@debbiec6216]

We went to Target today, I have never seen so much Christmas wrapping , bags , etccc . Back in the day, mothers would iron their bed sheets and most of the clothing. I used to watch my neighbor (it was when I was a kid ) , she ironed practically everything. I have a kitchenette, family room, full bathroom, 4th bedroom and closets in our basement aka lower level , like you have in the video.

[@marylawson4492]

I always set a seasonal coffee cup on my Keurig.

[@LaShumbra_Bates_AuDHD]

That is such a mom thing to do. Hiding while you eat something before the kids find out. 😂😂

[@sandyhayre188]

Everything looks beautiful, don’t worry. You did a great job.

[@martivasiliades8407]

Wow, what pretty cookies !!!

[@teriwarnke5968]

Love the Bar so cute and grown up 😁😍

[@Mommyonthegoplustwo]

Yay vlogmas! Bar area looks great and I might need get those candy cane cups so adorable! ❤❤

[@denisevalentemcgee4802]

Hi Crystal! The bar area looked great! Such a good space for all of you to chill and be together as a fam! Nothing like a good movie and some popcorn!!! Ah, there you go....you could get a popcorn machine! Tee hee! Love Vlogmas! Can't wait for all the things that Vlogmas brings! I still have a tree to put up but spent all this last weekend putting all the. decor up in the studio. The clients just loved it! Whew! So glad the vision turned out the way it seemed to be in my head!

[@Chell1496]

Yay! 12 Days of Vlogmas!! 🙌🎄It all looks cute so far! ❄️ Love how your home looks with all of the Christmas trees and decor looks with all their lights on. ❄️

[@AL-il5uw]

I was looking for your red Keurig 😊 my husband just installed a golf simulator, it’s one of the coolest things! Your house is so festive and beautiful!!!

[@marilynsaunders1157]

I have gray cabinets in my kitchen just like you have in your laundry room, and I painted the walls wasabi paint by Behr. There isn’t a lot of wall space so it isn’t too much and I have had so many compliments on it. You probably get tired of so many suggestions, but I had to try. Your bar area looks very inviting!

[@ameliaskaggs7784]

Your new house is amazing, and the decorations are perfect.🌲

[@3cacaonut]

I love the tier tray! 😅🎄A little tip, those paper straws will likely absorb the flavor of that candle sitting that close. I've been watching since the boys were babies, too. Time flies!

[@dianejohnson7235]

I love how your bar area is turning out!!! Also your ice cream looks so yummy!!!

[@sarahbrakey7824]

For a themed drink for your Grinch night - make Grinch punch. It’s a 2 liter of sprite or Fresca, a large can of pineapple juice and top it with lime sherbet. It’s a bright green color and tastes really good! We just had it for my son’s birthday party. Everyone loved it!

[@Bastet7270]

Loved the video! Looking forward to Vlogmas every year! ♥️🎄

[@marsha8622]

Oh we have the Ninja ice cream maker and LOVE IT!!! Hubby is the chief ice cream maker. He doubles batches so we have plenty on hand. Could you post the protein ice cream recipe, please. Enjoyed the video. Do miss seeing the kids especially around the holiday.

[@gwenseawell2426]

Everything is beautiful!🎄

[@fatimasilva-bd5dn]

Everything looks great!

[@pauleengould998]

I love your home. I always laugh because when I watch you decorate it always gets to a point where I say” I LOVE IT” and then you always add at least 2 more things. 😂😂😂we are all different and I just sit here yelling at you “take it off” 😂😂😂

[@חיהאגרי]

Hi: it's was a wonderful video ❤ love the deer with the plate with sweets 🎉and the tray with cups so beautiful, like always ❤ love the word j o y Thank u so much. Have a wonderful day to all of you ❤❤❤❤❤.

You do a wonderful job.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cindyhunter166]

Your home always looks so nice.

[@carissakieler4421]

I appreciated these comments because this is 100% something I would awkwardly say. "I dunno is that a casual drinker? Ugh I'm so awkward." Thanks for the laugh! 😂
