    What I love about Christmas is not the gifts under the tree, but the tree itself. When we were first married, my husband was in the U.S. Army and got deployed our first Christmas as a married couple. That year, I didn't bother to put up a tree I think because we hadn't had time to buy one before he was deployed. The next year, our tree was very basic--just plain colored ornaments. But after that, I started collecting ornaments every year. Each ornament represented some place we'd been or something we'd done the previous year. Now, 30+ years later, there are no more plain colored ornaments. There are animals from all over the world, there are sea creatures and seashells, ice skates, Santas, Nut Crackers. Each ornament holds a special memory for us and getting them out every year is like seeing an old friend that you haven't seen in a long time. At some point, I'm going to have to stop buying ornaments because our tree is so full! Thank you for sharing your special memories with us.

    I have been collecting Christmas tree ornaments ever since I got married which was 44 years ago now, although I have slowed down considerably now and only buy one or two that really catch my eye, as space for them for the many months when they are boxed away has become a premium. . My mother was German and I love the traditional trees so much. When I was young my German aunties used to send a parcel of Christmas treats every year which included German foodstuff such as pumpernickel, biscuits and tree decorations which unfortunately have not survived the march of time. The clip on candle holders they used to send were for real candles which no-one was brave enough to light, although my mother could remember them being lit on the family tree when she was little. A few years ago we spent Christmas in Berlin which was quite magical. They had a Christmas Market there which was full of wonderful and traditional decorations so I was in my element! The beautiful Berlin KaDeWe store was amazing and on one floor they had a band playing. Customers were waltzing around as though they were on a dance floor. What more could you want for Christmas? We had our first taste of Glühwein in the market there which looked innocuous but when laced with a hefty dose of rum dripped onto a massive flamed sugar cone it became far from innocent!

    Love watching you put up your darling Christmas tree and your beautiful tree ornaments, especially your German Candle lights! I also love your German decorations such as the wooden decorations such as the Pyramid and the Candle Arch, which I remember from previous Christmas videos. The lovely traditional nutcracker from Seiffen is gorgeous. The Marzipan fruit always reminds me of Christmas in England. I just bought a bar of chocolate covered Marzipan by Schluckwerder. It’s so large 500g, it will last all Winter…or maybe sooner 😊. All your Christmas decorations are beautiful and so loved, which makes them perfect. They are meaningful and very personal to you both which fills the room with fond memories. That is how Christmas decorations should be. I absolutely adore what you have done as your wonderful personalities and love shine through. Till next time, Take Care 🤗🥰🇨🇦 PS: I love the paper stars 🌟 🤩

    Thank you for such a wonderful video. I agree a Christmas tree should have memories from past years. Some of my ornaments are over 60 years old. Xxx

    Beautiful tree, I never have a theme I use all the ornaments that I or my family have bought for us from around the world. Some belonged to my late mother and mother in law and are around 70 years old and of course the Christmas pickle is hidden deep in the tree for the first grandchild to get excited when finding it.

    I'd like to say Thank You for your amazing videos. I am currently laid up in bed due to injury and catching up on all the videos I missed has been a bright spot in an otherwise dreadfully boring recovery. Your trees are beautiful and I'm loving the Mushrooms. Anyway, I appreciate all the work that must go in to such delightful videos. Thanks again from an American subscriber.
