Random guy looking for Christmas decor ideas.....came for decor ideas....stayed for the show...awesome!! I'm not into 'trends'. I decorate my tree and house in the late 50's early 60s style...flocked everything, colored lights, vintage glass ornaments, train around the tree base...all the nostalgia vibes!

[@pauleengould998]

I think your tree is beautiful ❤

[@bethwolf5583]

Hello Kim. My husband and I have two children one is 36 and one is 34 both out of the house, not married and have no children, but they still come over every year to help decorate the tree which has paper ornaments from when they were in kindergarten homemade ornaments, memory, ornaments of trips we’ve taken and so on. To me that tree is priceless.

[@thewadsquad]

I love this so much!!!!

[@lynnellen5143]

You are living your best life. Living with gratitude and not making overly consumed events that spoil children. You are the true survivor. Happy and peaceful holidays to you and your family.

[@kimberlybolanos987]

Our tree is normally disne ornaments and memory ones but they are still burried in the back of our storage shed. So this year I went to ross and picked up gold and white and red birds and same color of ornaments from dollar tree and the tree turned out beautiful

[@AllisonZ7]

Move one piece of the garland over to the right at the top of the stairs (balcony) and add a wreath in the middle to cover the slack. You wouldn’t even know it isn’t long enough 😉

[@engmfj]

@@AllisonZ7 that's actually a really good idea 👍👍

[@thewadsquad]

Ooooh nice move!!

[@shopwithjen]

Happy Thnaksgiving week friend!!!

[@mackenziemitchel6360]

I was actually going to say to add a wreath at the end but your idea is much better 😂❤️

[@kimr409]

Lol I was gonna say in hindsight I guess you should have started at the top lol but the wreath idea sounds good but my A type personality would have to fix it lol good like I love watching you and your my woman across the room. Kim R. 😂

[@ritahamm1893]

I’m 64 and I still hang my 2 kids ornaments on the tree that they made in their primary years. They are 40 and 44. I have 9 grands and have homemade ornaments for them as well! I love it so much each year when I get them out!!!!

[@district12-]

We leave our tree up all year. Decorating it for each holiday! Easter, St. Patty's day, 4th of July, Veterans day, so on and of course Christmas! You only live once 🤣😂

[@sunnyrlc4411]

Kim and Christmas treats and a song! What can be better❤

[@heidiwilson5272]

My tree is full of ornaments we've collected over the years, received for gifts, bought on vacation, been thrifted or have been made by my kids. I love our collection of ornaments and how special they are.

[@dawnsykes9171]

Me too! And I also have several vintage ones that my momma made, like crocheted ones. I’m always so careful with them. To me, it’s about memories of my childhood, and now memories of my kids and grands.

[@erose847]

Yes! My tree is a scapbook of life events, vacations, and other special times❤

[@TeppofTwo]

Our tree is not Pinterest worthy 😂😂😂 it’s colorful and full of my kids artwork! I love it!!!

[@thewadsquad]

I honestly think they’re more fun!!!

[@annfasching9464]

Thank you so much for sharing decorating your tree. It made me cry, remembering I use to do that with my kids. Now they are all grown up and live very very far away. Thank you again. Ann

[@acornsandlillies8788]

I can't imagine having family so far away. Both my family and my husband's family all live not so far, the farthest is 6 hours away the rest are all within 20 min drive. And we both come from large families

[@tinagodfrey6890]

Oh my heart ❤️ watching you and your kids decorating your tree brings back so many memories of my girls…so excited to decorate…now it’s just me..I so miss those days😢

[@eileencarroll6418]

Your *MEMORY TREE" is gorgeous. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 I loved the crafted covid ornament. Vintage glass ornaments came to me when my grandparents and an elderly aunt passed. My mother made a million crafted (quilted, beaded, painted) ornaments. My dad made stained glass ornaments and I Have ornaments from dumpster diving adventures in the bins behind the Hallmark store. I bought some when I traveled, received gifts from friends and crafted, thrifted and after-Christmas-80%-off-saled some myself. And as I am downsizing from multiple large to multiple small trees, I am passing my larger nicer ornaments to younger family members and giving the excess to Goodwill.

[@brookerlay]

FIELD TRIP FEET!! So funny 😂

[@kayo5291]

That made me laugh SO hard 😂

[@athomewithtexasgirl9888]

I love the more "homely" feel decorated trees. Im like you, our tree has all the decorations the kids made throughout the years and ornaments me and my husband had as kids. We collect ornaments from places we've been. So its more like a memory tree and we love it!

[@shemakes7156]

Hey from the UK! Just wanted to say we have a hodge-podge tree too and I absolutely love it. We get ornaments when we travel, or from special events. Every year when we decorate the tree it's like a memory-box for us ❤

[@trinafrank4714]

My trees (15), are magazine worthy every year, with the exception of one. Every year I change our theme and color. I have an entire room in the back of my garage full of Christmas. Last year was Grinch, this year it is winter wonderland. My colors are white, gold and silver. Decorating for Christmas is my passion! On the other hand my sisters tree is all collected ornaments from her entire life. I love the simplicity and meaning behind it all. The one tree that stays the same each year is my Packer tree! Go Pack Go! My beautiful green and gold.💛💚💛💚💛 Do what means the most to you, because in the end they are not going to remember the tree, they are going to remember the family times and celebrations together. Look how much fun you and your family had decorating.

[@justPaper-n-ink]

❤❤ from a die hard Packer backer!!!!

[@Homelifelearning]

In my home as a kid I loved all the 80s-90s style of mismatch ornaments and every piece of the living room was filled with shiny things hanging from everywhere. I absolutely loved it. As an adult with kids I'm so boring, I have matching decor and not very many special ornaments. I love everyones decorations insta or not. I love just the joy it brings to everyone do whatever makes it magical for you and your family 🥳

[@ElizabethLopez-ve6lq]

My tree is full of ornaments that we have collected over the years. Disney ornaments, Hallmarks ornaments, travel ornaments and frame ornaments with pictures of the kids throughout the years. To me that’s Christmas. I enjoy those beautifully decorated trees but my tree tells our story. Your tree is perfect. Add on to it throughout the years and when the kids are grown it will bring beautiful memories and a lot of storytelling! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤

[@ThisMainerMom]

We are team homely feel for the tree that is kid friendly and kid decorated. I never knew there were people where mom only decorates until I saw it on KZbin!

[@Armymom1984]

I’ve seen it a lot more lately. The moms do it all to make it look picture perfect. Screw that. My daughter is 20 and she still enjoys decorating the tree with me. I don’t touch the tree until she’s able to do that with me.

[@nancybarta8167]

I so agree. my other did our when i was a kid all blue and gold.....decorator approved. We did get small trees in our rooms.

[@Borderlinegoldenretriever]

That’s sad you miss out on the experience. One of my fondest childhood memories is decorating the Xmas tree with my mom

[@MET3279]

LMAO at 42 seconds into this. “She’s really good!” Kim. You are a blessing to this world. Happy Thanksgiving. I love your joyful spirit.

[@MET3279]

The voice with “I traded her in with a bag of Reeces”

[@joannebernard293]

Short Story Long: I moved back home to live with my mom when my dad passed. I always had a matchy matching tree. But my mom.. her tree looks like yours. And everyone loves it so much. Bc there's so much to look at. And literally, every ornament has a story behind it. Such a great conversation peace. And when people come over they stand and look at the tree for so long! Bc there's just so much to look at. Ornaments from the 60s even! And we're Indigenous.. (Mi'kmaq/FirstNations) so we have some made of porcupine quills.. some made of the 4 sacred medicines which is -sweet grass, cedar, tobacco & and sage, some made of different types of wood like Black Ash, Maple & Cotton Fibre.. some my Oma made and those are crochet. Oh! She also made beaded kind of ornaments. She was big into beadwork. Then all the ones we made and our kids made growing up. And last but certainly not least.. we have a ton that look just like yours! All that to say.. our tree looks a lot like yours! & we love it so much!! ❤🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@ellennewth6305]

Clearly, you ARE the Queen-of-Christmas-Across-the-Room, Kim! Love the way you've decorated your home for the holidays and it's awesome how you've come up with so many mouth-watering treats. Everyone will have a sensational time at Casa de Wads throughout this festive season!🎄

[@dixierobinson2606]

We have had a Christmas tree in our various homes for over 49 years. Never a coordinated tree. I could never give up the ones with the memories of my children’s craft attempts, the ones from various travels and activities and even a few that are generational.

[@janicerepass6996]

While I've dreamt of a color coordinated perfect tree, the older I get (now I'm 65 and Nana to six lovely grandkids) the more I appreciate my tree full of homemade ornaments, special ones brought back from vacation places, gifts from my daughter who has traveled the world, and now, most precious, things my grandkids make and give to me, or ornaments I've purchased that commemorate them in some way. Your tree is magical, especially Tina. It did make me burst into tears, but I love it.

[@cynthiatownsend]

It is so sweet you guys get dressed up for decorating the tree, really cute. 😊

[@chercarr1420]

Hi Kim. Each year I've got an ornament that symbolized our kids for that year. I get it personalized with their name and the Christmas year on it. I get them from craft shows or from stores and hand write their name and the year on it. Nice reminders each year to remember what they liked or activity they participated in (sports, getting drivers license, graduation, etc). Also, nice tradition to pass on to grandchildren. And, the kids home made ornaments they made in school. So much fun each year hanging these ornaments on the tree.

[@sandramcclendon6076]

Hey Kim, our Christmas tree has "everything but the kitchen sink", or so my kids use to say. So, I took care of that by getting a dollhouse sink, putting a ribbon on it and now it has a place of honor on our tree! I love a hodge podge of ornaments. Home made, some my kids made years ago, some my husbands grandmother crocheted for us, just everything. Colored lights and topped with an angel. To each his own and I am glad we can do our own thing with ours. I love watching your channel. I look forward to it each time. Merry Christmas go you and your family!

[@prasnlrdsheilawalker5241]

What Christmas mood provoking video!!!!🎄I loved all of it, Kim!🤶🏾 The decorating, the SUPER YUMMY snacks, and that gorgeous Christmas tree!!! I do two to three trees each year. One is all Halmark Ornaments. Another is traditional family ornaments with kid ornaments etc and cute ornaments like yours; with a Boho touch, and lastly a themed one that is usually Christian. Thank you for this inspiring Christmas mood video! HO, HO, HO!🤶🏾🎅🏻

[@saltywatermelon744]

Our tree is full of memory & homemade ornaments. I think those are the best trees. 🌲

[@jkingston5498]

I have 2 trees. In the family room the tree has a variety of ornaments collected over many years and the tree in dining room has gold ornaments. I love them both!

[@wildfyrefarmlife8638]

We have a cultivated tree but we add our favorite family ornaments and favorite collected ornaments. It's a beautiful mash up. ❤️🎄🎁

[@TwinFlameTreasures]

43:31 Kim! Love that you’re getting a head start on the decorating! As far as the tree decor goes, we have two trees most years. One is our main tree that the kids help decorate and it is a mass of very old/homemade ornaments, think your stereotypical family tree. And then we have our other tree. This tree is dedicated to our family members in Heaven, it’s called our Angel tree. It has a color theme, and photos of those that we’ve lost over the years. It also has a ton of Angel ornaments to symbolize the angels no longer physically with us. The colors are usually gold/purple/green/white. Merry Christmas Kim! ❤❤

[@jenniferkelso6407]

I am totally a lover of sentimental christmas. Our tree is full of handmade, collected and thrifted ornaments and it means so much to me! I would say about 85% of my christmas decorations are either inherited from my grandmother or thrifted and I love them all so much! I always say that my girls will fight over all my gems when I am gone haha. 🎄💚

[@pkerr3437]

My tree is mostly a collection of ornaments bought on vacations, and gifted by friends over the years. I also have carefully chosen memorial ornaments for loved ones we’ve lost, both family members and pets. My dad wore bow ties for years, so I had bow tie ornaments made from his favorite flannel shirts, and gave them to family last Christmas.

[@rebeccawise487]

We do the same and let the kids decorate. The kids love it and then i am not stressed. Our ornaments are ones the kids have made and some gifts to us from others. Over half of our ornaments are from places we have visited. We get an ornament from places we visit on trips. It is so fun to unbox the ornaments at Christmas time and relive the memories of our travels. I love that our ornaments have meaning and are special.

[@taramn9727]

Good morning, everyone!

[@sallibra7924]

Morning! Have a great day! Coffee & Kim making holiday treats. Does it get any better? 🤶

[@cassipierce4632]

Good evening here 😊 nearly 11pm, have a great day!

[@cherylkelly1221]

We like the hodgepodge Christmas tree 🎄! It’s so beautiful and fun to see the different types of ornaments on it.😊

[@AMDen81]

Our tree is all family ornaments. When I was a kid, my grandmother would give my sister and me an ornament each year. Now I get ornaments for our family of three every year that represent something special from the past year. So like this year we took our son to NYC for his 10th birthday so this year’s ornaments will be NY themed. I love a tree full of memories. I feel like it is so much more personable and enjoyable.

[@slapstickdome9797]

The angel upon the tree “ It’s Tina “ I think of you sister often…..Lovely tribute❤ Merry Christmas, to my Wads family.

[@jeslamfers]

We have the fun family ornaments and every year my kids make a new one to put on the tree. They really enjoy it and they get so excited when we pull the old ones out to decorate. Love all the snack ideas!

[@jonap5740]

"It's Tina!" Of course! Love the ornaments, Kim. They are perfect. Most of mine are made of wood or are thrifted vintage glass balls. We make a star out of cardboard and cover it with aluminium foil and secure a toilet paper roll on the back so it slips over the tip of the tree! Lots of fun to see your family decorating. Meredith on the counter was a nice throw back.

[@lizhostetler3170]

We have a regular tree with regular collected and homemade ornaments. I love that every ornament has a memory attached. No fancy matching ornaments over here.

[@barbkandel777]

Love this video! Kim, can I just tell you that your videos are so entertaining and put me in a good mood. They are so enjoyable to watch! ❤

[@theresagardner416]

You are building wonderful memories for your kids. Traditions of goodies to eat and decorating the tree with whatever is meaningful for you! Our tree is fake from the big box store. We decorate our tree with our favorite things. We are always on the hunt for a fun ornament! Everything from a gold rat holding on to some tinsel to a wood carved bear taking a nap in a hammock! I love them all!

[@nikkilitwin2577]

I love the trees with homemade ornaments and special ones collected over the years. I call them memory trees. Happy Holidays!

[@justPaper-n-ink]

I always loved when the kids made paper chains for our tree.

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

You are always such a vibe! I love it 🫶🏾

[@AtHomeWithAllie]

Hey my friend! Loved the delish looking treats ! Aww wish my kids still would want to decorate the tree with me lol. Tfs! Hugs & Many Blessings ❤️🏡🛍✨️❤️❤️

[@thesixjakes2040]

I have some "fancy" matching trees now that I enjoy but when my 4 kids (now 24-29) were at home we had the eclectic tree with their homemade ornaments, ones I had as a kid, the family ones my mom gave us every year... So much fun. I still have it all and do that "theme" some years. Family, kid friendly, meaningful, fun trees are the best. IF you want, you can have a "fancy" tree in 20 years.

[@lindamartin7580]

Great job Kim! Wish I lived next door to you! Good ideas for hostess gifts! I love that you take it easy! It does make me crazy how the lights don’t last long!! I have a mixture of ornaments on my tree from different people. Some of my ornaments are 100 years old…they were my grammas and dads! Vintage for sure!🎄🎄🎄🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Kirsty-D]

We each choose a new decoration for our tree every year as a family tradition. So it’s very miss match perfection. We have a hamburger, a chicken nugget and Santa riding a vacuum as some of our highlights 😅 The kids love it and when they’re older and start their own family, I can hand them over their collection of decorations they chose throughout the years so they can carry on the tradition with their own families ❤

[@traciebrown1882]

When children were small we used a lot of the homemade and whimsical ornaments. I'm 62 and just last year did a tree that was beach themed instead of the kid centric tree.

[@emilywall852]

Team homey for my tree! Hodgepodge of ornaments collected over the years and even some old ones from my childhood I inherited from my parents. Putting up the tree is such a nostalgic experience as we reminisce where each ornament came from. Love those memories!

[@StitchingIsMyHappyPlace]

I still decorate with our collection of ornaments gathered over the years. There is a twisted wire tree that my eldest daughter (now 32) made in year 3 that I love and she hates. I've told her that if she throws it out when I'm gone that I will come back and haunt her!! 😄 Also, a plaster shell with a paper clip hanger that my youngest daughter (now 30) made in pre school. Ornaments collected from holidays, just a hodge podge of love. 💜

[@franceskloos1297]

I was feeling overwhelmed with all the Thanksgiving prep, I turned you on and immediately, I felt so much better. I figured if you could do all that I can push through everything. The recipes look delicious. What a wonderful way to give present to your neighbors or even the guy that comes brings your Amazon boxes.i loved your family decorating the tree and festive, it was adorable. We do a very Vintage tree, including tinsel looks like a tree from the 50s, but we love it, all the Memories from the kids, their schools all go up on the tree.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@elizabethhamilton6299]

Good morning from Bonnie Scotland ❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊

[@kyraj8670]

Our tree is full of ornaments that have memories and truly mean something ☺️ it may not be fancy shmancy but it is so beautiful to me ❤

[@Cathy1223]

When my 6 kids were home, I unpacked the ornaments (each child received new ones each year)! I handed them their ornaments as I found them; as well as well the extra odd ones! I loved watching them decorate the tree and they loved it! We would have punch or hot chocolate and Christmas cookies! I miss kids being home to decorate my tree! Plus they have their own ornaments so mine were depleted as they left home!

[@gasp4nv659]

We have 4 trees…Star wars tree in our downstairs family room. All Star Wars ornaments some I made some thrifted and the others from hallmark. Upstairs living room is our matching theme tree..this year woodland critters tree. Tree in dining room is Cardinal tree..ornament cardinals..red and black ornaments..represents our loved ones that are in heaven. Tree in our master bedroom is mod pudge with all the ornaments my boys made in daycare and grade school. It also has our travel ornaments and the family ornaments with year and names I usually buy from someone on Etsy. My boys are 33 and 31 and I LOVE still having all those homemade ornaments they did in school. It’s a lot..but someday it won’t be and I plan on one putting up the hodgepodge tree when we finally downsize and retire. Love seeing you all decorate the tree. Those years do not last long enough.

[@christinakarstedt568]

Our tree is hodgepodge and I love it. I get ornaments when we travel and I get to enjoy so many memories decorating my tree.

[@laurastrout7588]

When the kids were little we had a traditional tree with the homemade and cutesy ornaments. They are now grown so I do a beautiful snowy winter tree that I would call diamonds and pearls. Very elegant, but then I'm a blingy girl. Happy Turkey Day❤

[@pamelamacellven9976]

When my boys were young our tree was always filled with their ornaments, the tree was always for them. Once they were grown and gone I was able to do my tree, white lights and matching bulbs. I still love both!! I love how you all put the ornaments on the tree!! Enjoy these times while you can!! Your ornaments are just adorable.

[@MeganOberkofler]

Been watching you since I had my daughter in July of 2020. Literally found your video while in the hospital, and let me tell you it's been a wonderful 4 years. I strive and aspire to be just like you Kimberly Whisk!

[@heatherbulver4953]

I have a tree that is matchy matchy for the formal livingroom and then the one in our family room is a combination of all the ornaments my children have gotten throughout their life times....every year got a new ornament plus whenever we vacationed they got one for the memory of that spot. Miss Heather :)

[@cindygallagher5367]

Hi Kim, my tree was always filled with hodge podge ornaments. I loved it. I would always put my kids decorations on year after year. You tree is just perfect for you and your family. It does not have to be fancy. Just love.

[@allisonmartin8717]

Our tree is a mix of bought and homemade ornaments. I try to get an ornament from each place we travel. Not Pinterest worthy but it is always beautiful to us. It means more because there are stories behind so many of our ornaments.

[@JulieWright-l1h]

We do a homely feeling tree every year. It's about celebrating the memories from Christmas past always!

[@joannafoster3423]

Tree like yours.... a mix of homemade, vintage, and from special travels and life events. So many memories. Love it!

[@BrittanySLim-df4ri]

Hi Kim! Our tree is a mixture of things. It’s primarily a Disney themed tree with ornaments we have collected throughout the years. But I also have a good number of ornaments from my childhood mixed in. ❤

[@katrinaavila3859]

Our tree is a mix of ornaments from over the years! We have a set of coordinated bulbs but lots of sentimental ornaments mixed in. It's the only way to do it in my mind!

[@valeriecarrigan4604]

Hi Kim all the snacks look delicious. The tree turned out great love all the homemade ornaments. Have a great weekend 💖🎄🌴

[@debbiehekel2871]

We got our tree from Costco 10 years ago. I think we paid $300. All the lights still work and it still looks great. We love it.

[@vikiwhite8478]

My Christmas tree is like yours all the sentimental ornaments. It is how our tree was all while growing up as well.❤❤❤

[@micheleholtfreter1038]

Hi kim. My parents gave our kids an ornament each year and they had their special ornaments from trips and scouts and special events with the idea that when they left home they had ornaments for their tree. Now that my children are all out of the house it is fun to go to their houses and see their special ornaments on their trees. As grandma I have continued the tradition and give the grandchildren an ornament every year. We also have gi gerbread house decorating day. I get the houses from costco and they each decorate their own and I get them a gingerbread ornament and we play games. It is such a fun day!

[@xbabii13girlx]

1972 dolphins were undefeated :) my husband is a huge dolphins fan so im obligated to know that haha. we have 2 xmas trees. the one in the main living room downstairs is a little bit more themed - we do all of our "special" ornaments like wedding/new home/baby's first etc, and then blue/silver/white colored ornaments/balls. upstairs in my son's playroom, we have a smaller xmas tree, and that one is more red/green/gold themed along with all of our older ornaments and hand-me-down ornaments, so it has that "traditional" look. i grew up having the traditional hodge-podge kind of tree, so i love that!

[@anissagadsden4276]

Our favorite tree is a hodge podge tree. It’s full of ornaments that my mother chose for us every year along with odds and ends. I used to put it up in a less seen part of my house to have a more beautiful put together looking tree but the last several years I’ve learned it’s a better tree!! We have fun recalling memories as we pull them out every year. It’s a tree that’s the story of our life together!❤️ Love yours!!

[@taylorwells2562]

43:25 My husband and I have 3 young children (6,5,3) and my mom has gotten them Christmas ornaments every year since they’ve been born. She’s done it for all her grandkids. Plus we have the special made ones from the kids’ school, etc. We always put those on first as they’re the most special then fill with store bought matching ornaments. We’re definitely a mix of both worlds🤍

[@tamararussell-czwartacky7105]

We have a whole bunch of random ornaments that have been given to us throughout the years, homemade by our kids, or that we've bought on our travels all over the world (military family ❤). Definitely not matching or "perfect" looking, but it's what we had as kids and I love it so much. So much nostalgia. 🥰😍🎄I love your tree as well! ❤

[@tammybaker3737]

We do a more homely tree ornament. We have ornaments from when I was a child and I get a new ornament every year for each person in the family (4) of us. That means something to them for that yr or just something they like. I have ornaments that we put our pictures in. Then I have a small tree that is mostly beached themed.

[@Leah-ic1et]

I’ve is a hot mess but I love it. My kids make ornaments and I love seeing them display their work, our tree is perfect for us.

[@tmaffeo]

Def a “ homey feel” when my kids were small we all decorated it and now my kids are 43 and 45 I still use their school ornaments that they made and everything else in between now that I crochet , I make so many ornaments now and they are all on our tree . Your amazing you remind me of myself and now that I’m 65 , I still have the same energy Lolol not sure when it will Slow down but I now have two beautiful grandkids Michael 7 Marianna 5 I also put up a huge Christmas village kids just love it michael is always mobi g things around my lil mr Christmas ty for all you do ! 🌻🌻🌻

[@radhasircar8558]

Yay!🤸‍♀️ It's the most wonderful time🎄 of the year.. and we get to know all that🤩 Kim is up to. A double treat for all of us, Party People. 🎉 Love the decorations and delicious recipes. Soo much fun. Thanks Kim.❤❤❤

[@traceyrommel1847]

Our tree is definitely nothing fancy. We used to always do family ornaments. This year I kept it simple and did red and white bulbs. Love all the snacks to make for neighbors and friends. ❤️💚🎄

[@StackieD]

I’ve had hand me down ornaments and kid made/family ornaments on our tree since 2010. Until this year, this year I’ve gone very simplistic, but ONLY because we got a new tree from Costco, and it is just too gorgeous on its own to fully decorate. Next year, I’ll go back to the good ol kiddo and family ornaments though, bc I do miss seeing those tiny handprint ones, and all the family memory ones. Your tree is beautiful and looks so much like ours in past years! And next year 😉 I want our 2 boys to remember Christmas as traditions, not what’s “in”. ❤️ 😍

[@conniemusgrave4977]

I’ve not been able to watch much tv of late. I had a little time this morning, and it was you. I’ve missed the joy and “no perfection needed” video you have always offered. Thank you.

Our tree is filled with random ornaments ones my kids made at school to places we travel as a family. Some are silly like kids favorite cartoon characters. I love it more than the picture perfect trees. Plus my kids decorate the tree so the placement is fun to see

Our tree is homely. It is filled with ornaments from my childhood, ornaments my children have made and ornaments we've acquired as a family.

I have a tree like yours but my ornaments are from over the years and lots of snowmen! Any tree decorated especially by children is beautiful! Love the jarred gifts. I am going to make the pecans. Happy holidays

I have cherished handmade ornaments that were gifted to us when we were kids (that are almost 50 years old now!) Snowflakes made out of pipe cleaners and beads, some felt and sequined ones that were kits popular in the 70’s. Some painted sand dollars, or popsicle stick sleds. Even macrame wreaths. Some that I made in more recent years, and some that I bought because they caught my fancy at one point or another. I love them all so much.

Our tree is a collection of ornaments made, bought and given, so many memories. I can’t imagine doing a themed tree.

[@lindahough3990]

I do the black and red buffalo check theme now ( I'm a grandmother), but when my kids were little, it was a hod podge with kid made ornaments.

Spending the holidays with the Party People and Mrs. WHISK!! We have always had a traditional tree with old ornaments that are precious and must go on the tree ever year. I never do a curated or themed tree. 😊❤

[@gailfenander223]

Some years i do red and green balls, crystal ice cycles and diamond shape teardrops. Other years, i get out alot of the Hallmark and kindergarten school decorations. And ALWAYS color lights!!

[@ginaf8234]

🎄🎄Our tree is definitely homey. My husband & I have ornaments from our family trees growing up. Ones we’ve bought (I’ve) since married. We are Disney adults so some from WDW & lastly ornaments our nieces & nephews have made over the years. Happy Holidays 🦃🎄🎅🏻

[@willmariegirona2911]

Happy Thanksgiving party people and Wads Family! I hope you all have a beautiful day with loved ones. God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🫂❤️

Our tree is a hodge podge! We get a new ornament each year and my dad also buys us one each year plus home made ones by the kids! We have slowly built our decorations up over the last 12 years together and i love it ❤

i have always loved the the trees that children get to help decorate. Trees like this warm the heart and bring a smill to my face. The more formal trees seem cold to me. I love years of mismatched ornaments where each one brings back a memory. I still have pink mini croched angels that my husband and I baught for our first Christmas I know they are over 58 years old because we would have celebrated 58 years if he were still here. Your tree is lovely and warm
