Our tree is reds and whites and silver along with cardinals... I love them and being from Ohio and now living in Oregon we don't get to see them... there is also a belief that when you see one its a loved one who has passed saying hello! I like to believe this and smile alot missing my grandparents and my momma. Merry Christmas 🎅

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Your tree sounds beautiful. Just the other day someone was telling me about Cardinals! Thanks for being here!

[@tarras3292]

I enjoyed your shopping trips and We hang Stockings and stuff them and It's Traditional Christmas 🎄 😊

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Sounds wonderful! Thanks for watching!

[@mesouthseaand2404]

My eldest son is in charge of our tree so it's got many colours on it. But I decorate the rest of the house with red, greens and lights.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Love it! My kids tree is very colorful but I love white lights and red and green everything else! Happy holidays!

[@vampirefish3185]

That AHH it has pockets same girl same.

[@colleenbrewer4453]

Lauren thank you for being you. It blesses my day to watch you and your lovely family

[@pattyberghahn2789]

Lol, I had to laugh when I saw you looking at the sweatshirts at Burlington...you said you don't need any more. I do the same exact thing!!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Exactly! I’m all stocked up from my Costco sweatshirts this year!! Lol

[@bettyruth9142]

Looks like they are still needing to put out merchandise!! I think the headbands you tried on looked really nice on you!! Target had a lot of Christmas decor. Think I need to go look real soon !!! By the way we bought our 5and9 year old grandchildren a projector like you bought. We think they will love it!! Of course they will get more than that!! Enjoy y’all !! Hope you got the Christmas card I sent. I bet you got a lot of cards!! On with Christmas !! 🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello friend! Yes, they were very low on merchandise. Made it feel really messy. That is awesome that you got the projector, we have been having so much fun with it! Thank you so much for watching, I will keep an eye out for the card!

[@cathybier506]

Love to watch your shopping trips! I don't have patience to shop in big stores like Burlington. Our tree is mostly ornaments my boys made, and a few from my childhood. Every year always got them a handmade, dated ornaments. Everett, KZbin loves you too! Thanks for taking us along!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello! I love the sound of your tree, we have one like that, as you will see here soon in our decor video! Thank you so much for watching!

[@donnamorgan6072]

Fun shopping trip. I decorate with a mix of traditional and newer colors. Yes, I use tinsel and garland on my tree,lol. I loved all the different color trees at Target; I need to make a trip there now! Have a great day!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We are up to 6 trees now in our house, not sure how that happened but we are loving each of them! Tinsel is fun but I have never used it probably because my mom never used it! Thank you so much for watching, have fun shopping!

[@annakrackerjaxxx5656]

I normally decorate like crazy. I have a collection of Santa’s of all sizes I put out, over 100. 3 big trees, each a different theme and a few smaller trees. But, this year I have a puppy. He’s a 10 month old Pomeranian. He would have the trees destroyed! He’s a busy little guy! I’m still trying to think of what I might do. I wonder if Burlington hadn’t got all their freight. Maybe check back after awhile. In tagged the magnolia things were adorable and close to what I decorate with. That was fun thanks for taking us along.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I love the Magnolia Christmas stuff! I always go after Christmas and see if I can find a few fun things on clearance. I have heard that a puppy can be like a destructive toddler! Thanks for watching, happy holidays!

[@amberd1633]

I like decorating with all the different bright colors for Christmas. That and I like the red truck for all my decor. Can't believe how empty Burlington was. The kids were so cute at the end

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello! I love finding special footage from my kids! Sounds like you have some wonderful Christmas decor! Thanks for watching!

[@beatricek3801]

Love to go shopping with you.. Thank you for taking us along .. Love you all

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

love Christmas!! can't wait to see your house decorated!! yeeeeehaw!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I love Christmas too! Christmas decor coming veryyyyy soon!

[@marymorris575]

Empy carat for both stores. We like you too Everett. Yes your Burlington was empty maybe because it is new. I can’t wait to see you decorate this weekend. This I got a black tree and the colors are white and silver and red.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello Mary! Decorating coming soon! Thanks for coming along! That is rare for me to walk away with nothing!!

[@marmeefromtx5401]

Love seeing all the Christmas decorations. I don't go to target very often but such cute items. Love the hand crafted items better. We do a non traditional tree. I try to do a different theme each year. Beach , hunting , handmade hand prints in dough of the grandkids. It's fun to come up with ideas. Bless you for your hard work on your videos. I get so excited when I see a new one come up. Lots of love and prayers from Texas

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

They did have some cute things! A theme tree is so fun! What is this years theme?? Thanks for watching ❤️

[@marmeefromtx5401]

@@ThisAlaskaLife Berries and bows. The Christmas berry picks and bows. I reuse stuff I already have. And the one tradition we have is our multi color lights. My husband has to have those. 😁

[@donnaskapik8761]

We don’t have any children but we do have a girl elf (Noel) that we add to our tree

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is fun! I love the name!

[@teresacruz3760]

LOL there was a kid in the background screaming mom and I thought Everett found you🤣

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hahaha! That is so funny!

[@jackiebest5613]

Your Target has lots more decor than ours. We did Elf on the Shelf when our kids were younger. Thanks Lauren.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is surprising that ours has more. It is typically hit or miss. Thanks for watching Jackie!

[@BabyJages]

I was so curious about the new Burlington. Thanks for showing it! Once they opened, it was soooo busy every time I went by, so I haven’t checked it out yet.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

You're not missing much at this point! Thanks for watching!

[@khorydaymasna3411]

Christmas is coming🎄

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yay! I’m getting into the spirit!

[@AlaskanQueen74]

I didn't know they put a Burlingtons there!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yep! It's new but as you can see they don't have much other than some clothes at this point. Hopefully in the months to come they will get more!

[@leekorten1791]

It was lovely going shopping with you and seeing all the lovely Christmas decor. I decorate in traditional colours, no tinsel but lots of Nordic gnomes 😆. I had just put my new Christmas bathroom set out before watching your video 🤔. Have a fantastic week, sending love and best wishes to you all 💞

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I loved the bathroom sets! They were the only thing I think I would add to my decor this year! Thank you for coming along, happy holidays!

[@sandrabolton7515]

I love the Merry Christmas sign that was beautiful. I decorate my moms tree every year for her.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I really liked that sign too! That is so nice of you to decorate your moms tree. Thank you for watching!

[@cindydaniel6125]

Target and Burlington are both over an hour away from me. I like the traditional colors for decorating. Multi colored lights and snowmen. Snowmen stay out all winter. Loved the bathroom stuff and the mitten garland. Prices in Burlington weren't to bad.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Agreed, prices at Burlington were not too bad but there was just not much there. I will have to go back in a few months and see if it is better stocked. I loved the bathroom stuff too, I may have to go back for some of it! Thank you so much for watching Cindy!

[@constancealford2780]

Burlington is one of my favorite stores

I hope this one can get some merchandise! It has always been fun to browse in the past!

[@jenniferfrancis5030]

I'm impressed that you went to Target and left with nothing!! Most people- mainly my sister spends hours in there, me not so much.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Just wasn't in the mood to buy I guess. It got me ready to pull out my own decor and get ready to decorate! Thanks for watching!

I hope you treated yourself to a coffee or another special treat! That was fun, I enjoyed it very much! ☃️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We had just had dinner as a family so I was perfectly stuffed. Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed coming along!

[@susanbishop3873]

The little boys at the end were adorable. I decorated my living room tree with pink and white this year. I didn't use tinsel garland but I chose white beads instead.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks! I love finding Everett footage when I clean off the camera. That’s why I mostly use a gopro so I can let the kids use it!! Your tree sounds so fun! Have a wonderful week!

[@BeverleyPrice-ty7xr]

Could be still waiting for more stock to arrive. Looks a great store, and the prices I have seen are very reasonable

[@ParticularlyKat]

I love your shop with me videos, with or without Everett!

[@holliegirl7806]

I love target they always have cute stuff!! Thanks for showing us your fun trip to the store. This year I’m going with the buffalo plaid theme for the tree and throughout the house.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

How fun! I love some good buffalo plaid. Is yours black and white or red and black??

[@holliegirl7806]

@@ThisAlaskaLife red and black. I got a lot of cute stuff hobby lobby and amazon I’m so excited I never do Themes.

[@melindarobbins5766]

We dont do elf on the shelf, my daughters teacher at school does do I figure that’s enough. Lol I’m bad enough trying to remember to be the tooth fairy. Let me tell you she’s been exposed twice now and couldn’t make our home and had to leave a note and a “helper” done it. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is hard to remember! I have a helper for the first time this year and he is excited to help me remember. I also ordered a kit and that has made us excited! I am also a horrible tooth fairy!

[@DarkQueen619]

Target is my jam!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Target is such a happy place!

[@GinaCarwile2295]

I live in a small house. It’s just me and my husband and our 26 year old daughter. We also have to fur children. A pit Bull and a shichon. So my Xmas decor is very minimal. I have a small 6.5 tree decorated with just a hodgepodge of decorations and multi colored lights. Very vintage and old school. No tinsel though.

[@Drocka69]

I love TJ Maxx and all those stores!!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I love Home Goods when I travel!

[@linachouinard9012]

it's dark here in Massachusetts at 5 o clock but not that cold

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We are getting really dark in the mornings too, not too long till solstice though! AND we have had some gorgeous sunsets! Thanks for watching!

[@michellealder69]

Hi Guys I usually use Red and Green Baubles on my Tree, but this decided Blue and Silver, and I use Tinsel to, My Special Tree Bauble are all Colour they still go on my Tree, luv to u all 🇬🇧 x

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Blue and silver sounds nice, I have never used that color scheme but I like the sound of it. Thank you so much for watching!

[@joni5243]

The boys closing out the vlog was cute! I like you too!!.. Your Burlington was empty! Was this filmed after the 26th? Your prices are very comparable to my area (Western PA-1hr North of Pittsburgh). Yes we had Elf on The Shelf for my children but now it is to a whole other level! We had an advent calendar at Christmas. Well looking forward to your next vlog!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I found that fun little clip of Everett and his friend playing, they are beat buds! That was actually filmed BEFORE the 26th! I forgot I filmed it so that was before Black Friday craziness.

Thankyou for sharing ❤

[@verena8683]

🦙🌟hi there!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello friend!

[@GranmaShell]

Not decorating like I normally would ... I will put up a small tree but only because I have a granddaughter and I think gma's and papa's should have a christmas tree with stockings & presents for the grandbabies...but the next day it will all be put away. Just not in my normal all excited Christmas shopping/giving mood this year.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I am sorry Michelle that you are not feeling the Christmas festivities this year, that is to be understood with what is going on. Many prayers for you!

[@annaking9213]

Enjoyed

[@AlaskanQueen74]

I have done 95% of my shopping for my kiddos, all I really have left is stocking stuffers.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Woohooo! That's a great accomplishment!

[@queenbratbracken]

I think the birch logs looked nice, not everyone has birch trees in their yard, including me.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Very true!

[@elizabethfigueroa2942]

I live in CT and we seem to have compare prices.currently the sun has been setting at 4:30pm

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We are at that time of year when it is really getting dark. I noticed it was really dark when my kids left for school today and then dark when they were getting home! Just a few more weeks till the solstice! Thank you so much for watching!

Did they close the Mountainview Burlington? The store you are in looks either pretty spread out or really empty.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I think they did, pretty much everything in that mall is closed now! It is a huge store with very little inventory!

[@abbywalters7236]

Wow the shelves are empty

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

They really were. I was expecting more, I will have to go back in a few months and see if it is better stocked!

[@MsWDWFAN1]

Burlington was definitely slim pickens. Were they just picked over or low on stock due to the pandemic? Not sure if you filmed this before or after black Friday. I love Target but I don't go very often. My thing is ordering from Amazon in the comfort of my home! I'm not a big go out & shop kind of person. It's all I can do just to go to the grocery store! 😂 My family never did Elf on a shelf. It wasn't a thing when I was a kid. It's a cute concept though. Fun for the kids!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

This was filmed before black Friday and then I forgot to use it as I got ready for Thanksgiving! I think it is Pandemic related because this is a brand new store. I am so grateful for Amazon! My true love is shopping small Alaskan businesses but that is not possible for all the little things that we seem to "need" I also love Target but will not be venturing back into Burlington for a while!

[@kidsue99]

Wow, I can’t believe how empty the Burlington was.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Agreed! I was expecting more for a "grand opening" !

[@deidrecruickshank7975]

If that store is anything like the first one you talked about, I can see why it closed....there's not a lot in there, which kinda makes it creepy....just sayin.....

[@coincabin223]

The Burlington looked like a bad charity shop.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

AGREED! A mess! I am going to have to go back in a few months and see how it looks! If it stays that way I am not sure how it can stay open!

[@nancymcdowell9607]

I am not a fan of Burlington, or Dollar Generals. They are aways so messy. No rhyme or reason to their set up. Love Target but hardly ever go.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I find it quite overwhelming too! I don’t like sifting through things! Thanks for watching

[@ronanmccabe7902]

Gosh darn the damn mask mandate again! Do any of the stores have a vaccine mandate? 💉🤔
