2 of 2 December episodes :D ...  Christmas Tree Decorating

Comments

I do have to add that with that many cats ( I have 5, so I know), I wire mine to the walls In several places so THEY can’t knock it over. With your 12 foot ceilings the wire could be fairly high and out of the way. Hidden.

That book is a tradition in my family, my 20 something boys still insist I read it to them every Christmas Eve.

Victoria Elsom

I have to say, as a display designer, I could not have explained lighting a Christmas tree better. Wonderful job! And squinting often IS the key.

Victoria Elsom

Such whimsy! So magical! And the baby puppy is… chef’s kiss gorgeous!

Peaches McDrools

I know that book and I had it too, still have it! It's the best.

WestcottWitch

Yes, I've been going back and forth on this myself, but this episode has been the deciding factor for me. On to Craigslist! 😄

Deb McGrath

Love the new title art

Summer Rose Barnes

That’s it! I’m getting a mansion! 🎄

Jens Friborg

I have had many fights about how I think the tree needs more lights, bulbs, etc but my partner says it doesn’t… I always win the battle and he later tells me how good it looks. Year after year… The struggle is real, lol. 🙄

Dan De Young

I can see you becoming the mysterious witchy woman in the town who throws lavish parties at her haunted mansion!

Courtney

Your tree looks amazing. So magical. Your videos are always inspiring

Simin

Merry Christmas!

Mononoke Adams

Merry Christmas Christine and Captive! Thanks for all the hard work you guys do to deliver us this amazing content! xxx

Maddie Tannous

I would never have thought of putting the lights up like that. Definitely doing that next year. We're in the middle of a heat wave here in Western Australia, your video gave me a brief moment of respite. <3

Jacquie Hughes

Have a wonderful holiday Christine, Captive and fur babies. My husband and I are healthcare workers and your creative videos always inspire and bring us joy.

Amanda Lovell

What a beautiful and HUGE tree! How many days did it take you to put on those lights? Also, I love your vintage ornaments. :)

Racheal Jones

You are amazing 💖

Magdalena Mojica

Beautiful as always!

Melissa DaCosta

Beautiful! 🥰But you scare me on that ladder in your socks 🥺Haha,barefoot would be better! You’d at least have a grip, girl. Sorry,we just don’t want anything to happen to you 😚 Here’s a tip for you next year(I’m a professional florist and decorator and have done a zillion trees for clients) when you have a tree that tall, lay the wrapped tree on the ground and add your lights to the very top section first. The top is usually open enough and it’s easier to add lights to it this way. Once you get it up you can adjust any loose areas as you work your way up. Or you can work down. Also, Attach a long extension cord,made for Xmas trees,to the top as well and then run in down the center trunk wiring as you go(female end at the top male at the bottom) it’s easier to attach lights and keep track. I use chenille stems they are easier to work with and you can see them. Hope that might help! Merry Christmas to you both! ✨🖤🎄🖤✨

Shelley Anders

Gorgeous! Have a happy day!

Alyne Whiteswan

Seasons Creepings!!

Christina

So beautiful! Have a lovely Christmas!! Your new fur baby is adorable!

Noni

What a truly spectacular tree! ✨🎄✨ My kitties love to ‘assist’ when I’m decorating my tree as well. 😂 Wishing you, the captive, and all your darling furry friends a magical Christmas. Can’t wait to see what projects you bring us in 2022! Merry Christmas to all other Patrons too! 🖤

Lily

Sigh ... just magical 😍 Merry Christmas Christine, Grant and all of the fur babies!! 🎄

Amber Noseworthy

That was the most beautiful tree I've ever seen. Great job! And I love the new puppy! Merry Christmas Christine & family! ❤

Heather Brown

Beautiful tree! The cats are doubtlessly plotting how to liven it up when you're distracted. I have one of those antique ornaments, it's been on the tree since I was a baby! Nice to learn it's not just valuable to me, but a desireable object. Who knew? Merry Christmas to you all!

miz vitko

I love that you keep past owners traditions alive like they are your own family. Very sweet of you. ❤️

Rebecca Valentine

Thank you and Happy Christmas!

Paige Phoa

I loved waking up to two Christmas episodes! And Mr Buttons is the cutest 🐶Merry Christmas! 🎄

Cecilia

What's the puppy's name!? Soooo cute. Yorkie?

ClaricexRipley

That tree is humongus

Shaé Emery

Awww new puppy !

Shaé Emery

So THAAAATS how you get lights to look good. I alwasy just wrapped the tree like a mummy, but it never turned out as good as my interior decorater aunt.

Briana Dixon

Home alone for the holidays, so can’t wait to watch these tonight! Always look forward to the live-streams to get though the month. Hope you are your family of spooks and everyone else here has a great holiday and a happy Christmas 🎄🙂

Ryan McFadden

Happy Holidays to you, Captive, fur babies...I look forward to every thing you post, just delightful in every way!

Brandy Gunter

Absolutely beautiful and exactly how I imagined your tree would look! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Anna Radaelli

Gorgeous Christmas Tree!!! Love the Gingerbread Man on top….Perfection!!! 🎄♥️🎁

Carla Perea Seminaro

What a beautiful tree! Thank you for sharing your light trick! I'm definitely going to do that with our tree next year. Congrats on the new adorable fury addition to the family! Happy holidays to you & your family 🌟

A.M. McPherson

My Mother would have loved your tree! She always used so many silver icicles it looked like the tree was covered! Ya know the kind they don’t make anymore…I think there was something in them. Every year she would gently lay them out and wrap them up to be used again! Thanks for the memory!!! 💕🎄

Sonja Tompkins

I'm so glad you exist. Watching you in general calms me down. I work in retail/food and dealing with rude customers take a toll on me and my mental health. I come to watch your videos and it takes away my anxiety. So again, thank you for making videos and amazing creations. You bring so much joy and happiness to me! Merry Christmas! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Kuro Kaiju

I'm getting all sorts of Rockefeller Center vibes with this magnificent tree! I absolutely dread putting the tree up - it's a tedious but necessary chore. I don't even want to know how long this took Christine and when it's time to put everything away? I think we need a video on that, too! Happy holidays, everyone! ♥

Mji X

It's so beautiful! Perfect for your new home. Enjoy your new addition as well. So cute!

Liz Pearson

Everything about these two episodes is just so magical! Welcome to the family puppy and Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays Christine! Hope you and your family have a lovely winter. Thank you for both of the amazing episodes! ♥️

Paul Fliedner

Sooo funny! How does your puppy even know to do that, he is too young!! Dogs will be dogs... Gorgeous Christmas tree and I love the antique ornaments! *sigh* Something to be utterly admired! <3

Colleen Diane Sakane

Be safe on your travels Alyse! :D Merry Christmas!

Christine McConnell

So beautiful 😍 it must smell amazing. The kitties must be dying to get in that room and climb the everest of trees. Good luck haha

Angela Pearson

Do you have someone deliver and set up the tree for you? It seems very large for 2 people to handle. Inquiring minds.

Christine Brown

So beautiful! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :)

Emily

WOW! what a wonderful Christmas eve episode! When I was little I had a favorite Night Before Christmas book set in Victorian times and it has always been the epitome of my fantasy Christmas. I think this is the first time I've seen it happen in real life!!!

amy eckler

LEDs would probably save on the electric bill but they are so damn expensive if you are going to fill a tree that size. Awesome tree!! Merry Yule!

Rez NYC

You are the best 🎄🍾💕🫂
