@@BenitaLarsson Thanks so much! 😇

[@penny3767]

Your holiday videos have become a very cozy tradition for me. Brew some tea, watch Benita decorating videos, and make a list of ideas to use myself to cheer up my own space. I truly appreciate the inspiration. 🌲

[@BenitaLarsson]

I'm so happy if my video left you inspired!

[@annasawyer9433]

I did the same thing! :)

[@emilytemple3609]

It has taken me YEARS to realise that decorating for Christmas needn’t be stressful or result in clutter. Your videos have shown me I need to ‘replace’ my usual decorations, not add to them. I have already planned my decorations for 2024 and my home will be so much calmer, cosier and more relaxing as result, with a simpler tree and much less clutter. Thank you ☺️

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m so happy if my videos have been helpful!

[@Surreal452]

Absolutely love the lights against the tall city windows. There's something just so cozy about that.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I agree with you completely!

[@cindyboughen9933]

Love those little mushrooms! I bet all your neighbours across the way LOVE looking over at your beautiful apartment!😍

[@BenitaLarsson]

It looks very cozy looking towards them too! Like an advent calendar!

Absolutely lovely and cozy. I think I’ll watch it again ⭐️ 🕯️ 🎄

Thanks so much for watching twice!😊

So Christmasy, warm and cosy! ✨

You are so beautifully clever and thoughtful. Your videos are my anti-Anxiety, dopamine rush of coziness ❤

I’m so glad if they bring you peace and calm!

Thank you, it really does feel cozy!

Beautiful, natural and indeed cosy decorations 😊 I always look forward to your Christmas preparations. It is a time for thankfulness and simple pleasures. Great ideas for gifts. I will use these. Thank you for sharing them ❤

[@BenitaLarsson]

So glad you liked the ideas!

[@MarisaAndChew]

Lol the pyjama pants is exactly what I do! I wake up in the morning and put on a fresh set of pj's! I get stomach pain from things that are more fitted (I do wear my size but some fabrics don't move easily). I also don't feel comfortable with a bra so I only put a bra on when I'm expecting people or I'm going out. With arthritis, degenerative disc disease and very high blood inflammation I simply want to be comfortable at often as possible. I love that more and more companies are making pjs that don't require us to toss on a robe to answer the door. We can look pulled together and comfortable at the same time! I'll have to check out this brand after the holidays (in broke at the moment...) and see if there's anything I need in my price range. Merry Christmas Benita! I hope you have a wonderful time with family, friends and your grand-dog! My dog loves to open gifts so I wrap everything for him and we all get a good laugh at he opens everything up! 🎄

[@BenitaLarsson]

Merry Christmas! I love that your dog loved opening gifts!😆

[@aussieanne6812]

I really enjoy learning about the traditions in other countries. The simplicity of this approach to Swedish Christmas decorations is beautiful and suits your home perfectly. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

Thanks so much for following along!

[@melissaeden1219]

How cozy! Thanks for the peace and inspiration, as always!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@klarab84]

I love how you make your home so cozy but still minimal looking. I can so relate to when you put the decor around the advent candle, but then removed it - that's how all my decorating goes. I love coming home to other people who has more maximal decor, but when I try to add more to my decor in an attempt to make it even "better" I almost always find myself coming back later and removing things.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I also enjoy other people’s maximalist decor, I just can’t live with it in my own home😅

[@DoctorMetanoia]

Hello! How beautiful and calming are your videos 🥰 This specially touched my heart not only because you used a Bossa Nova music, but because you’re gonna give a gift with brazilian essences, from Brazilian Crush 🥰 “Cheirosa” (it’s pronounced “sheirosa” - means “fragrant”). I wish a very fragrant and lighted Christmas for you and everyone in this channel! Love from Brazil! 😘♥️🌹🥰

[@BenitaLarsson]

I do seem to have a thing for Brazil!

In Spain it is typical to put up Christmas decorations and lights on December 8. Merry Christmas and a big hug 🎄🌟🫂

Merry Christmas to you too!

I love the Christmas/Advent decorating in Sweden. Simple and elegant. We have darkness at 5 pm here in Canada too, during winter. I can relate to the need for lights and light candles for coziness.Lovely gift ideas. I am going through chemotherapy and your own journey on this channel has inspired me.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!❤️

I love the idea of simple Christmas decorations. That is such a great idea for someone like us who is always going out of town for the Christmas holiday, and we don't get to enjoy our own decorations much because of that.

Buonasera, Benita! It's the first time that I write a comment on your channel, but I'm quite addicted to your videos 😊 Here in Italy we're starting with decorations, but traditionally we begin the 8th of December and remove everything on the 7th of January.
