Mary please show us your storage room and organizing for all your home decor! Would LOVE to see how you organize all the decor you have!
I love how everything turned out, especially your card tree. The recipes all looked delicious. I always enjoy your videos and you're definitely one of my favorite KZreadrs.
Thanks for showing us the " mind change part". I do that all the time. And we got to see both options. 😍

Dear Mary Loved this video, listening to you talk about butchering chickens it was something that my family and grandmothers did as well, there were nine of us so my parents taught us how to raise and butcher. So it was passed onto me. There is nothing that taste any better. You are such an inspiration. I have learned so much from your channel. All the Christmas decor is stunning. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Blessed 2023🎄🎉🎊
I’ve been watching some of your older videos … you are amazing!! I love all the ideas you have and how nothing goes to waste. I’m inspired each and every time I watch you.
I love your second display of your White House’s! I can so relate to having a mind change within a mind change 😂 Appreciate you Mary!
I’m glad you used the powdered snow. It looks realistic. Your dishes look pretty in the cabinet! You’re one of the hardest working women I’ve seen. I’m sure your dinner was delicious!
I loved seeing you give the cat some treats. He looks like he is much loved!
Mary, quit apologizing for something that you either bake or cook. Who cares if it is organic or not. It all looks very good.

You are right! There’s also the folks out there that think it all needs to be gluten-free. The only people that need that are the ones with celiac disease or sensitivity.

It’s a natural reaction for an apology to come out.. I’m the exact same way- I seriously don’t think mary is sincerely sorry but it’s makes her feel better to say “sorry”.. it’s a part of her personality and who she is...*MARY I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE PLEASE DON’T EVER CHANGE A THING FOR ANYONE ELSE❣️🥰
This got us in a mood to decorate- so serene and comforting. Your card tree shows how crafting skills can really make a home a haven!
It is always so fun to see what you are up to. I love the simplicity of your Christmas decorating. The green dishes are beautiful! I love the Christmas tree card idea!! I also appreciate the recipe and dinner ideas. I am always up for those!! You are so fun to watch!! You inspire!!

You are so incredible! Thank you for sharing! Your followers love you!
Mary, thanks for sharing these delicious looking recipes. Your home looks beautiful.🎄🎄
Your videos are calming and refreshing. In a world of darkness and craziness, I know your message is clean and wholesome. thank you
You are absolutely my favorite to watch. I have gotten so many ideas from you. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
We just processed 37 chickens to fill our freezer. It is the best feeling knowing that you are eating your own chicken that was fed well and so much better taste wise - a lot of value for a little bit of effort.
Love Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love and one more thing, I love love love everything!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary, once again, you have managed to wow me with your aesthetics! The simplicity of it plus the energy and heart that goes into each design project you undertake are its most endearing quality. Keep doing what you do, Mary. All best!❤️ PS. I love the subtle way you’ve managed to add color to your attire lately.😊👍🏼👍🏼
You look good in that green dress at the end of the video.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. After my daughter passed away 2 years ago the holidays have been exceptionally difficult. This is the first year I’ve actually enjoyed all the cooking and baking. I want to try your dressing. Looked delicious. My wish is that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.

Don't mind you changing your mind--I think we all do!
Funny story. When my mom was in hospital after having my sister, my dad who grew up on a farm and I had a whole chicken to cut up to fry. It grossed us both out so much we ate out the next few days! That was 1974. He is 87 yrs old.
Everything looks beautiful! Those Russian, Mexican cookies or wherever they are from are my Favorite! So simple and so delicious. I make them all the time.
Love everything you do. Love the card tree what a beautiful idea to show case your cards. I tape mine to my closet door lol so maybe I could do what you did I just love it. ❤️ Your home is absolutely beautiful. Thank-you Mary for sharing all your great ideas with us. You are so blessed with all your talents. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄❄️⛄️🦌
Beautiful kitchen, love the card tree 🎄🎄 21:39
Watching your videos is both inspiring and a balm. Thank you!
Love all of your decorations !! You always make everything look just perfect. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I always look forward to Wednesday to watch your videos! Merry Christmas to you & your family.
Your home looks so beautiful with all the white and green. Food looks delicious as always!! The Christmas card tree is absolutely perfect!! Merry Christmas and God bless.
You are so enjoyable to watch. Vanilla is so easy :) For the size bottle you have, fill 2/3 full with Vodka and 10 high grade vanilla beans (sliced down center) Put lid/cap on, and place in cool dry dark cabinet. wait at least 3 months, I check it every couple weeks, shake, and make sure beans are below alcohol level. Best at 6 months and over .Beautiful dark color. You can add more alcohol or beans at any time. (Rum, Whiskey work also) Merry Christmas!!!!
Mary I love you just the way you are please don’t change to please others❣️🥰💯
Mary you are very bless amazing person. You don't have to apologize for anything. Loves
We call those snowball cookies. Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to make these for my 85 year old mom❤
Merry Christmas, Mary. You are a gift to us all!
Hi Mary everything looks beautiful 😍 i love everything you do. I have been following you for 6 years now. Happy Birthday for Saturday wishing you many blessings on your special day 🎂 🙏 your birthday 🎂 is on the Same day as my son. Xx
I'm watching this again for the 3rd time since you put it out at least. I have one serving platter from that ivy dish set, I really love it. So neat to know that there is the possibility of finding an entire set! I never get tired of watching your videos and often watch them multiple times! Thank you for sharing what you do Mary!
Mary, changing our mind is the way to improve things. If no one ever changed their mind there would never be any new inventions, no new discoveries in the medical field or any of that. We would be stuck in time. Also, I make those cookies every year they are my absolute favorite! They go by so many different names all around the world. I have heard rum balls, bourbon balls, Russian tea cakes Russian tea cookies, I have taken to calling them pecan snowballs. So absolutely delicious no matter what they're called! Merry Christmas
Mary, I love when you talk about the weather! I must be old too!
That broccoli salad looks delicious!!!! Everything looks so delicious and your kitchen looks beautiful!!!
Mary, you have such a way to make everything so beautiful and cozy! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE the card holder! It’s perfect on the black wall. Merry CHRISTmas my friend.
Love these ideas! Simple and not expensive, perfect! The broccoli salad is one of our favorites here in the upper Midwest. I like to add salted roasted sunflower seeds and raisins. Yum
Bring back so much memories of raising chickens, the trig tree🎄 .when we lived on the farm.my mom and grandma did a lot of things you did and talked about. How exciting it was for you to share these.Thank you for sharing these with us mary.
When you finally put the little green trees and fake snow with the white houses, I’ve thought-Perfect!! I always enjoy your decorating videos, and especially this one. A merry, blessed Christmas to your family.
I love your Christmas village display and Christmas card holder! Your plaid apron and green plaid dress are adorable! Merry Christmas to you and your family and a blessed New Year!
Delightful video, Mary! A mixed bag of holiday delights. I love all your choices. Hope your Christmas is wonderful and blessed.🎄😇

Your simple elegance is stunning. Such an inspiration! You always do such a GREAT job. Thanks for bringing us along!
OMG the sweet kitty cat ate a little onion piece that fell to the floor and then she didn't like it and spat it out!!!!! Oh I so love the kitty. BTW, I want to thank you so much for the recommendation on the towels for cleaning windows (forget the name already). I cleaned all of my windows and my gosh what a difference!!!!!! Now please tell e how to clean?wash them, there is a lot of dirt I picked up. And of course your decoration is always on pointe. Cheers and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, dear Mary! God bless and keep you and make his face to shine upon you and your family, as we remember the dear Baby, our Savior.

You are so gifted with home improvement and designing I'm in awe...of your God given talents....truth I learn different looks techniques in design listening as well as watching you. You instruct as you carry on... natural I mean, not poorly scripted.. I appreciate that thanks
You are amazing, all the work you do and never seem tired or anxious!
Wow I luv that larger apron🎄🎄🎄The house scaping is beautiful🤍🌲🤍. Enjoying the simplicity immensely 😊😊😊
Lovely and cozy! Your rosemary still looks great! 💝
I love all of your green and white for Christmas, very serene and pretty. Btw, I also butchered chickens when I was a teenager, I learned to cut off the heads, dunk in hot water and defeather the birds right down to gutting them and cutting them up to be frozen. I loved working alongside my siblings and parents while we put away the chickens. I am going to make that broccoli salad, I already have the ingredients, we will enjoy it tomorrow. Thank you for the video, I always enjoy yours.
Good morning, Mary! I like that you changed your snow from batting to glittery powder. I was thinking the batting looked like a blizzard had covered your village. :) Your kitchen looks so inviting - so simply beautiful!!! And I love your twig card tree!!! What a great idea!!! I wish I would have room for one. Thank you for sharing another inspiring video!!!
love the way you village turned out. The nativity is so cute.
Yes I love that you changed the snow material out love it!!!
Food looks delicious….I know what you mean about never thinking your dressing is as good as your mom’s….with me it’s my dad’s potato salad. Love the decorations, all is perfect!!!!!
The tree for your Christmas cards, is beautiful! I love it! Your kitchen is gorgeous!💚🎄❤️

Mary, I found a wonderful way to have snow on my entry table and for my village. I bought a length of white fur fabric and cut it to fit. It fluffs up and really gives the look of snow, with no mess, and the little trees and houses stand up in it just fine. I really enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Lovely video just love your idea of the tree for the cards 🇬🇧
Beautiful!
Love it all!💖
I made from scratch dressing for Thanksgiving and everyone just loved it. They all asked what kind it was lol I said DYI Laura dressing 😋 I love cooking from scratch!!

I have never made dressing like that, can’t wait to try it ! As always, everything you touch is beautiful !!!! Blessings
Love how you decorate for Christmas. It’s very charming n cozy. Some people tend to over do it everywhere. I’m not that type of person. I just like a few things here n there. For example like yours. I love those cookies you made. They’re my favorite all year around. Your right many names for them. I remember the first time I watched my Mama make them, they became our traditional cookies in our home at Christmas time. Wishing you n your family a memorable Christmas with much love, joy n laughter. ♥️😊👍🌟🌟🎄
Thank you for sharing everything in this video. Loved the tree idea!
Just perfect.
Love your style! I want to try that dressing recipe.
It all looks great 👍
