It's getting Christmassy!
Ho Ho, it's getting Christmassy! Finally. Hello everyone! Hello!
Ho Ho Ho! Ho Ho Ho! Welcome back to another video. Yeah. This weekend Jörg and I will be decorating
the house. Yes. And we will start with the tree. Yeah, I've already - started - set it up. Yes.
You set it up and started with the lights. Yeah. And we we well, last year we got the question:
It's so early? It is for us as well. Yeah. It's still November and usually we would decorate
the tree like one or two days before Christmas Eve. Yes but we want to bring you into a Christmas
mood. Yeah because we create videos we just have to start early. Yeah. And it's to be honest with
you we really enjoy it. It it just, I don't know, it makes us happy. Yeah, it brings us in the mood.
Yeah and hopefully you as well. But first of all we thought we would unpack a parcel that we just
got delivered together with you. I started opening it but I haven't taken the things out yet so it's
from Cutter Brooks in the Cotswolds and it's something from Germany actually. Let's see. And
some of you might remember our video from the Cotswolds last year
when we went to Cutter Brooks and they didn't allow us to film in there
which was a bit unfortunate but they do have lovely stuff we must admit.
So. Oh that's nice, isn't it?
That's really pretty, isn't it? Yeah.
So let's see.
These should be
the ornaments.
Oh wow! Yeah! Wow! Don't they look nice? Wow. With a rose and this is from Germany actually Jörg so -
wow - yeah, love them. They look wonderful. Yeah, they really are. And the other one
should be a tinsel. The strange thing is I just returned from Germany and I was looking for the
exact same tinsel and I couldn't find it. And this is from Germany that's the thing. I'm just
not sure if we should have ordered two but they are probably a bit too expensive I don't know.
Yeah, it's quite small
but pretty. This is like what you used to have, what we used to have on our German Christmas tree.
Yeah. Remember Jörg? Hmm. Does it look silly? No! Because it's just one. It's good. Saves time
because the tree is now ready. Finished!
The thing is I I don't know. They are too pricey. Yeah. Maybe I I have to
order another one next year. Yeah. I don't know. So in five years time - we have five.
It would look, I mean it would look amazing - yeah - to have like five or six of them. Yeah,
next year we're gonna buy two more. Yeah. So this is what the tinsel looks like on the tree
and it's absolutely gorgeous. Reminds us of our childhood. We just need more. Jörg just
brought the box with all the Christmas decorations for the tree that is. And
this one as well and we thought we would start with these two because we got them
from our parents. And because they are so special. Now let's start with these two.
They're really heavy. Yeah, we really have to think where to put them.
Yeah. Jörg just put the Santa here which looks lovely. And the other one Jörg. Where?
First one here and Santa
is here.
How should we continue Jörg?
Just open the next box.
These two are huge but not heavy. That's the good thing. Yeah.
These are funny. They make me smile every year. I love them.
They are the cutest. Have a look. I love those.
Do you want to put the tree topper first? Yeah. The red one.
Let's use our gorgeous Big Ben because it's so big. Hmmm.
How about this gorgeous couple? Yep. Give them a try.
Uh, I'm not sure - yeah - we should use this I think. Let's see.
And although this is an artificial tree it looks quite realistic. Really good quality. Thank you.
And now the handmade angels
from my sister.
Very
special. Hang on.
Let's see.
A tree has to have birds we think.
I don't know where to put the other one. Here? Hmmm.
No it, doesn't work. It's too close to the angel.
We have a mushroom.
Of course the tree has to have a sheep because you know how obsessed I am with
sheep. Now we need to find the right spot for the sheep. Looks good. And you know what we what we
noticed? The decoration from Lauscha, from Germany is so incredibly sparkly. It's amazing. Just have
a look here. This is so incredibly sparkly. Can you see it? I don't know. Wow, it is yes.
And the strawberry -
simply stunning, isn't it?
The next box.
And -
a rooster - yes. Another one from Käthe Wohlfahrt.
This is also from Käthe Wohlfahrt. And
the rooster goes here and
I'm going to change this bird - uh where? Where did you, where did we say? Here? Yeah.
Yeah, that looks great.
Fancy some tea? Yeah. Because I was just thinking we have the
the marzipan tea. Oh yeah, that's good. How about some Stollen?
Uuhhh.
Even though it's gluten free? Oh yeah. Still. Let me. Marzipan tea and stollen. That's very good.
We need to have the candle arch on. Hmm.
And I'm going to exchange the candles and use festive ones.
These candles from Susie Watson Design are gorgeous. We've been
buying them for years now and always get questions about them. They are very long
but look stunning.
You know I was really looking forward to having a cuppa.
And the Stollen is a little bit dry because it's gluten free but it's still good. Yeah,
it's not too dry. And we finished decorating - yeah - the tree. It's done.
It's beautiful. We didn't film the rest of the process because we thought it would be too boring
because we did it last year but of course we will show you the result.
And I think the result is really good. Yeah, I'm in love with the tree. So this is it.
It's the perfect spot here in the kitchen where we spend
so much time and this is why we have it here.
A lot of decoration is old with a lot of memories like this one is pretty old.
Things from my parents, a lot of things from my sister and the new things we bought.
It's gorgeous, isn't it Jörg?
And I just can't get over over this because it's so incredibly sparkly.
And simply stunning. And this is a tiny wreath
that we've had for many many years. We have several of those and this will go
up here into the window.
You know what? We actually had another idea.
Let me hold it. I want to have your opinion about it.
What do you think? Can't tell. I'm not, to me it looks good. Yeah? Yes. Because you
know what I think? Because this way you have it like right in the window instead of here,
it's just a bit hidden. Yeah. I'll do that. What do you think Jörg? Hmm, that's good.
Yeah? Yeah. Well, it's different than last year but why not. Yeah.
Let's go for that.
Then we have these star chains that will go into our french door in the kitchen.
Well, we have to film that in daylight. You can't see it on camera. Part one is done.
Yeah but there's more to come. Yes, there will be more. And we hope you like the first part so
we'll see you again very soon. Yeah, see you in part two. Yes. Until next time. Bye. Bye. Bye
Bye.
