Nice β€β€β€
The tree is beautiful, I hope you and your family have a joyful Christmas π
Such a beautiful tree, light options are great but the best are the personal memory ornaments. Enjoy your new memories with this tree.
I love the tree!!!! Where did you get the candles from? Love them too. I started to laugh when you moved that with the tree already put up!!π. I love that you are so real!! Thanks so much for sharing!!β€οΈπ
Balsam Hill makes the best trees – we switched back in 2015 to 7-1/2 ft tree and loved it. When we built our dream home in 2018 (with 20ft ceiling great room) I went and bought a Costco 12ft tree. 5 years later, Iβve switched it back to our Balsam Hill tree because itβs just so much easier to maneuver and decorate. I also bought another balsam hill tree this year just like yours for our family and special Christopher Radko ornaments. So I have a total of four 6ft trees throughout my home not to mention all the little ones all throughout! Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and Easter would be my second. Iβm one those folks that despises the fall! But the only way to get to Christmas is to get thru fall and the crazy pumpkin spice, cold, dreary, everything is brown season! ππ π»π€Άπ»πβοΈ π
Beautiful tree! I'm a Jersey girl, thank for the Smithville shout out!! Gorgeous home, and I have to say that Gorgeous Schnauzer stole my heart!!
Omg Laura! You had me bustin' up when your knees cracked and you said what it was! So cute! Join the club! Dont't worry, you look great for your age and you know how to make a house a home!
Have a very Merry Christmas fellow gardener! π
Laura, you crack me up. The tree is beautiful π²
Could you please post the style number of your tree. I went to the Balsam Hill website and cannot find a Norman Fir tree with multicolor /clear lights combo.
Thanks for a great realistic video. Your tree and home are beautiful
I love your tree I wish I could afford one but they are so expensive. I bought a 7β an artificial tree after Christmas now I have a row of lights out and I tried to replace one and nothing happened so I have to figure it out bummer. Love all your decorations I donβt add anything to the bottom itβs so low you canβt put tall Christmas bags under it. I have Hallmark magic cord ornaments on my tree with other Keepsake from Hallmark
It is so good to see you. The tree is beautiful. Thank you for always being yourself. I really enjoyed the video.
The inside of your home, is just as magical and cozy as the outside π I love the tree, and love how you decorated it.
I have missed your videos and this was a pleasant surprise to see you. The tree is absolutely beautiful, as is your home. We also adorn our tree with meaningful ornaments – sometimes the memories bring a few tears as we reminisce. Thank you for sharing the process of setting up the tree – so easy! Hope to see another video before the holiday rush becomes too hectic.
I don't have a Balsam tree, but I love my artificial tree. It looks like it should be out in the forest. It has some flocking, pine cones, and berries.
Congratulations on your tree. It is absolutely beautiful.
loveππππππ
It looks amazing Laura, you did a great job!
It's a beautiful Christmas tree. Thank you for sharing Laura. Happy Holidays!
Laura you are too cute! You make me laugh with your happy attitude and I love your decorating style. β€ I love the look of Balsam Hill trees. Iβm saving up so one day we will get one. My kids love love a real tree right now but when they are grown and gone I will switch. Itβs getting tougher and tougher each year to care for a real tree so Iβm with you there π
Love this tree just wish they werenβt so expensive.
Tree looks beautiful. We call our βno themeβ tree the family tree and I love yours. Iβll admit I have 3 others that are theme-ish but main one is family tree. Balsam hill has gorgeous trees. Canβt wait to hit Smithville this year and maybe Cape May!
Stunning! I just love everything about your Christmas tree! I just invested in a new tree after decades, and I have buyer's remorse! Your doggy is so adorable!π₯° Your home is so, so lovely. Merry Christmas, Laura!
Loved this! And when you picked up the chair to vacuum under itπ
Your very cute pup wanted to help so badly π
Thanks for sharing ,your tree is beautiful! πππβ€
It really hurts that Balsam Hills is giving these tress away that cost hundreds of dollars and we have to pay hundreds of dollars if we want a Balsam Hills tree. I do have one but it was an INVESTMENT and two years later some of the lights donβt work anymore. I do understand itβs a marketing strategy but it still hurts that every day people canβt afford them. Iβm happy that you have one because they are an extremely beautiful tree . π²ππ
I bought a nordmann fir last year and love it too!
Laura, the tree is spectacular! Your tree is always beautiful, but this one just glows. I purchased a Balsam Hill tree last year after Christmas, coz who doesnβt love a great Sale, π! You are so right about the quality and craftsmanship, and I just love it! You know, that I know how hard you work to put out wonderful content and videos for us to enjoy, so I love when Brands recognizes that, and reaches out to work with you! Your currency is just a little different than mine π As my Mom would always say, βHoney nothing is freeβ, so in this case, I do know how hard you work, you just make it seem effortless! Merry Christmas my friend to you, Marc and the boys, and your parents tooπππ
GORGEOUS tree!! And, I just love watching your videos! You have such a great personality, and I just laughed at your comment about not lifting chairs to vacuum, LOL! Same here!
Merry Christmas to you and those you love! πβοΈ
Love your tree and all the beautiful decorations! IαΈΏ the same with keeping the old and adding a few new ornaments, it feels like seeing old friends again every year. Balsam Hill makes the BEST trees!! Have a wonderful Christmas season.
Balsm Hill is really expensive but worth it. It is the kind of fixtures you could keep for years.
I also found a similar brand out there at Menards that is cheaper than BH.
Absolutely beautiful Christmas tree, it looks sooo real!!! The ornaments are gorgeous and sweet β€
Your trees is lovely and so is your home. I love your style! Have a blessed merry Christmas!
Laura, this is beautiful!! I love the shape, realistic greenery and brown trunk. And your ornaments are darling. I love that they tell the story of your family. π₯°
So happy to see you, your home is lovely!! Great decorations on your tree. Iβm not into themed or colour coordinated trees either. Iβve collected Hallmark since 1983 plus use special ones from travel and made by my daughter. My husband passed away in 1990 ( aged 36) and I have a plastic trumpet ( he played) that came in a floral arrangement, hanging on my tree. My fatherβs picture is in a small frame ( passed in 2016). This to me is what the tree represent, love and memories! Just as yours does….beautiful!! βοΈπ¨π¦π
Hi Laura,Love your new tree and your family ornaments . Like most of my gardeners I follow ,I jumped on the chance & got a balsam Hill Christmas tree & I love it . Everything you demonstrated,was right on.
Love them, but if I place felt-like ornaments on my tree, the kitties say, "Oh look–Mom gave us a bunch of new toys to play w/!" π
