Decorating My Victorian Home for Christmas 2023! 

These episodes are so relaxing and soothing. Kevin is like Mr. Rogers for adults. He explains how to do everyday things calmly, friendly, and in a "nice" way.

I have a handmade nest ,made by my beloved friend who suddenly passed away. When I hang it on the tree , i think about her and i feel shés still with me.

Come on Fans! Are Goldie & Avery just adorable?!?!?!

Ничего не понимаю на английском языке,но смотрю,слушаю и наслаждаюсь душевным умиротворением,спокойствием и теплотой)все просто,прекрасно,бесподобно и восхитительно!!!Атмосфера добра и мира♥️

How heartwarming to watch your videos Kevin . You are such a good friend to your audience. Thank you for being here.

Your house look so comfy! Peaceful home for hearts that need mending. Thanks for sharing part of your life. Greetings and blessings from Montreal.

Спасибо,что пригласили нас в свой дом на украшение такой замечательной ели. И спасибо за рецепт!))

I was given an antique Italian glass chandelier. I took it apart. Used the drops as ornaments and assembled all the glass swags together for garland.

English breakfast tea, raisin bread French toast and here we go. I'd just love to have a tree that size to decorate. We downsized but I do have the ornaments though as Christmas, especially vintage, has been my passion for 4 decades. Great job Kevin. Watch Goldie, cats love to climb trees, mine do and then I get pics of her peaking out.

Lovely episode, beautiful decor. So glad you included Lizette, John, Avery and Goldie ….

I love hanging out with you cause you are so interesting, playing the piano, growing your food, cooking, plantings whether it be household plants or food plantings and decorating! You have taught me new recipes and and how to store foods and many things about a vegetable garden that I never knew (“I’m not a spring chicken”, so you really can teach an old dog new things! I enjoy your videos so much - so this is to wish you a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!🎄🎁

It’s the time to be jolly when you give us a beautiful experience! It must be glorious to live in that beautiful home. I grew up in a Victorian. There is nothing like it. It always felt like a warm hug. As a child, I would lay in bed and imagine all the other folks who had lived there. Lol! This was wonderful! Love the fur babies! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Kevin, your Christmas decorations are exquisite! I got some GREAT ideas for my mantle!

I sit down to work on my Christmas wreath for the front door and I see this! So love crafting or cooking along with you. You're the BEST Kevin!❤🌲🎅

I enjoy your videos so much! Please play the piano more often, especially during the holidays.

Wonderful, homely but elegant Christmas decorations. You have done a great job Kevin and thank you for sharing with us. Looks like Avery approves too X many thanks 🌼

Lieber Kevin, Respekt für deine Dekoration, danke, das es dich gibt, liebe Gruße aus Österreich 😊

Wonderful video, love seeing Goldie and Avery they are the stars ! ! ! Mantle and tree are beautiful

What a great video! You mentioned in your last video that you were going to make garlands from your own garden greenery. I thought, "What a great idea." I have a friend who lives very close to me who has beautiful evergreen trees and Holly bushes in her yard. I asked if I could clip some and she said yes. Now in today's video you showed me exactly what to do. I will be working on it this weekend. I especially want to use live greenery because I love real Christmas trees but, I have 4 cats and 3 dogs and an open floor plan house. I can't keep them away from a Christmas tree. So I use a ceramic tree on my front entrance table. A nice live greenery garland will give me the aroma of a real tree with out the pet disasters. And, I have been wanting to try the Tierra Farm teas that you love so much, so I ordered the tea gift box. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks, Kevin, for all your wonderful ideas and recipes.

Wonderful video. ❤ Kevin is in full Christmas mode and I’m here for it. ❤😊🎄

Enjoyed your video.The deer were a nice surprise. Also a BIG HELLO to the fur babies. Love your tree.

Merry Christmas Kevin and Mr Fox. All the fur babies too. ❤️🥂xx

So glad to see this! My heart is warmed! Those Deer were just so apropos! Back in the day the house was so naturally cold the fruit would last longer.

Fabulous festive episode this time to kick off the Winter season. Thank you very much, Kevin. Your mantlepiece decoration looks particularly special this year and, like you, I love the simple Boxwood wreathes for your front doors. You, John and Lizeth made a grand job of your beautiful tree. Look out for a little package coming to you soon from Manchester which can be opened as soon as it arrives. To be honest, I'm surprised it's not already arrived. This year I'm going for something completely different. Usually I decorate a traditional green 6 foot imitation tree next to my fireplace which means I need to scramble under my desk to switch on the lights every day. As I'm not getting any younger, this year I'm putting up an all black coloured tree, kindly given to me by my Goth neighbours! I shall be placing it beside my window where there is an easily accessed plug switch for the lights!. I shall be decorating it completely in silver and white. Like you, I enjoy a mug [or two] of warming hot chocolate while trimming the tree. I'm really looking forward to your many Seasonal recipes and other fun goodies. Thank you, as always, for a great visit. Stay warm and safe until next time. Much Love and Big Hugzz, Steve xx

This is a joy 🇬🇧

Quite elegant and stunning Christmas decor. Love your Garland & Christmas tree. My parents always used the trimmings from plants around our property and of course the kids would string pop corn…& dried orange slices too….The video brings back so many memories. Thank you Kevin💕🤗👍

Очень, очень, очень. красиво!!!!!!!! Привет из России! Счастливого Рождества!

I believe if the souls of those people who lived in the house 200 years ago could visit it today they would be very happy to see the way the place is being kept and looked after.

Hello Mr Kevin, you have no idea how much I needed to see you and your fur children, family and friends today. ❤ thank you so very much Mr Kevin. Much love

I have been watching your inspiring decor, baking and cooking videos for one year. I love all your recipes that I've tried. ❤ You are an amazing flower arranger as well. I love your enormous house and gardens. Best wishes to you and your pets especially you new rescue kitty and 🎄🎁 Merry Christmas!

You just have such wonderful outlets for things, we just dont! You are so lucky!

I was thinking about skipping the decorating this year, but you have inspired me to get started today. Thank you.

Dear Kevin you look wonderful!!! Thank you for your time and for sharing you beautiful home !!!!!🌲

Love the ornament of our beloved Queen , what was your memory of this? Thoroughly enjoyed the whole presentation, your parlour looks wonderful.

So beautiful! I love all the fruit in the decorations as it keeps things fresh and vibrant!

Another wonderful video! Thank you so much!

Just love your little kitty. He's beautiful! Your mantle is so lovely. And the way you make the garland is so much easier than what others do. Thank you!

Kevin! I LOVE hearing you play the piano! What a lovely way to start the video. You've given me inspiration to "get a little Christmas" going on here. Gratitude to you, as always.

Absolutely exquisite! Again, I wish I lived right next door!

🦌 The surprise of the deer in the garden was absolutely beautiful 🎄

I loved your tutorial for garlands, thankyou Kevin. I stayed at the Charles Nelson Schmick Victorian House in Leetonia, Columbiana County, Ohio one Christmas and had quite the spooking! Atop their Victorian Christmas tree, the owner/manager placed her very traditional white wedding gown and it made quite the statement (that of a ghost)! Other paranormal were dreams and inexplainable scents I experienced overnight. I believe your dwelling, Kevin, would foster only the kindest spirits!

Really enjoyed this video. Your tree is stunning! In case you did not know. The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality because it was displayed when seamen (mostly Captains) would return from a voyage to the tropics, often West Indies. Manners back then forbid anyone who was not close family visiting the wife while he was away. When he got home, they would put out front of house tropical fruits, esp pineapple, to let people know the home was welcoming visitors once again.

Absolutely delightful video- cats are just so funny with Christmas decorations…😊😊 I have been inspired by you to do something about my living room - I live in a country where we now have summer, so it’s too hot to do too much😁🥵

Kevin you are very talented in everything you do, I love your videos and beautiful home.

My decorations are coming along nicely. However my spouse and I have been in an apartment as of 2 years ago today, actually! We downsized from our two previous homes (1 for 18 years, second of 28 years), so we needed to do this move, but love it! So without former boxwoods and other fresh greenery we could bring indoors, we now substitute with a fresh poinsettia and a pared down Christmas tree that works for us. It’s a real Norfolk pine we’ve had for years. It works, and we decorate it on a tabletop. Along with other ornaments, etc. scattered throughout our space. Ok, long enough post, looking forward to your upcoming videos, as always. You have a beautiful tree and mantle scape!

13:05 This is sage advice that I've followed my entire adult life. Beautiful garland, and I love those plain boxwood wreaths. Reminds me of Williamsburg Christmases in Virginia.

Oh Kevin, what a wonderful video, thank you so very much. The filming\editing and music are all exquisite. I was feeling a little “bah humbug” this year. My mom passed away two years ago and today, 1st December, is her birthday. I had thought that I wouldn’t decorate for Christmas this year but seeing your beautiful and sincere video has cheered me and I think I will after all and, like you, I’ll enjoy holding the tree decorations and remembering precious times. So lovely too to see your gorgeous fur family, such wonderful filming of them. Thank you 🙏 Jan, England.

I love seeing your pets! ❤

I am enthralled! Love a nice long KLJ seasonal video! Gold is such a PUFF BALL!

Kevin, I love your floor mirror!

I’ve been watching all day and everything you touch turns to grace and beauty? To live as you do requires much work,but it is so very civilized. The house and magnificent grounds are outstanding. How you ever found such a gracious home. But above everything you have so beautifully done , is the table in front of the lovely fireplace, and the fact the table expands for guests is even better. I admire ❤ creatively and God given talents. You are not waisting a single one!

This has to be the most beautiful garland/ mantle I've ever seen.

Marry Christmas Mr Jacobs & Mr Fox, Many Blessing this Season. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes and your gorgeous home.❤

Wonderful holiday video…..I love your dog…..🌲🌲🌲

Beautiful visitors that you had Kevin!

Kevin, hello from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Your home reminds me of so many of the old, historic homes we have in this area. Thank you for sharing your home and your Christmas preparations with us. I always look forward to your videos!

Comfy, cozy, and beautiful home for the Christmas holidays 😊. Thanks for sharing .

Thank you Kevin💕 it is lovely to through the seasons with you💕

I’m new to your channel and absolutely loving it the garland looked absolutely stunning great idea for my dining table this year xx

Hi Kevin Watching this video bring me feel co calm, confortable and enjoy decorating the tree as well preparing and drinking the chocolate. You make everything look so beautiful. Thank you for everything. (Nickname" Maxi") ☕🎄☺

Потрясающе!!! Я восхищаюсь эстетикой и атмосферой! Я в восторге от викторианской темы)это безумно красиво!

Kevin, I certainly like the way you do your projects. The exactness of placing the wreaths on the front doors to highlight the etched glass star. Breathtaking Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Everything looks just so beautiful in your gorgeous home. Is Goldie interested in climbing the tree? Luckily, he isn't allowed in unsupervised! But I think kittens need supervision at all times!😁 He's getting so big. Our orange cat is very interested in our tree but there is no way we can block it off. Avery seems very well-behaved!. Your hot chocolate looks so yummy and your fire, so cozy. I wish we had holly bushes in our yard but I haven't found any to plant. Looking forward to more Christmas content.

Yes, your cats are beautiful! Your home is magnificent and I truly enjoy all your videos! Oh how I love your Christmas tree in that elegant room with the welcoming fireplace!

The look on Avery Ophelia Elizabeth's face when she gets her praise is absolutely precious. Kevin, even the wildlife are curious about you and your home and gardens! Happy Holidays! ❤🎄

Wonderful!!🎄❤

Tree is beautiful and so were your outside visitors. ❤❤❤ You're very fortunate to have such a wonderful selection of stores, farms, for wreaths, teas, fruits, vegetables you can drive to. The house must smell exactly like Christmas with all the greenery. Mantle looks good enough to eat 😆😆😆 Thank you for sharing your day with us, as always a very warm, enjoyable experience. Brings back a lot of heart warming memories of Christmases past. 🎄🎄🎄

You have a lovely house which looks even more beautiful with this decoration, it's like a dream home

FELICITACIONES ,HERMOSO Y ELEGANTE ,BESO,TE AMO .

Thank you, Kevin. Love your videos 📹 ❤️ , especially this one.❤

Hi. I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. How lovely. I'm a recent widow and just moved into a historic home built in 1882, hoping to start a new life. You gave me such inspiration. Thank you for that and for a beautiful video. - Carla in Virginia

Oh, Kevin! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL UPLOAD!! PLEASE include a video of your playing Christmas music! What a delight that would be! Thank you for taking the dull burdens away from me for a few minutes so that! I can enjoy all of your lovely music, decorating, and hot chocolate recipe Look forward to seeing your next posting! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Looks beautiful. Love seeing Avery and Goldie.

Wonderful video! It really puts me in a Christmas mood!

Beautiful! Love your videos. My cat used to love to sit under the tree and drink the water. How do you keep animals out of your lovely vegetable garden? Happy holidays!

I had to laugh when you "kid proofed" your house for your fur babies! 😅 Adorable

I've been waiting for this. Thank you. From the UK

merry christmas to u,MrFox,Lizette and ur furry babies.

Very elegant ...of course! I'm sure I would LOVE seeing how pretty that old home looks in its Christmas finery! Thank you Kevin for helping us think of positive, beautiful thngs.

What a wonderful video, so inspiring and relaxing. We just put up our electric candles in the windows of our 1664 antique house here in Connecticut!

That is one of the prettiest mantles I’ve ever seen. I really like the naturalness if it. You did a great job.

Very well done, Kevin. As usual 😊

Your garland is beautiful! Christmas belongs in your home. Happy Holidays!! 💕🌲

Delightful video, Kevin. Your mantel is spectacular!

A gentle perfect beginning for the Christmas celebrations. Your garlands, wreaths and tree are beautiful. The Tierra Farm gift baskets are amazing, pretty and practical. Thanks Kevin🎄🙏❤️

Kevin what a wonderful and festive video. I love your garland etc. Loving your decorations that you put on the tree. Kings and Queens etc. Beautiful. ❤️❤️🎄

You have TWO grand pianos in your fabulous Victorian home? I am green with envy. 👍😊👍

Wow, has a year already passed? It seems like yesterday you were decorating for last year's Christmas. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Our family missed Thanksgiving due to covid and we are late to decorating for the holidays. Watching you decorate your home allows me to vicariously enjoy the process!

Thank you for the hot chocolate recipe. It's a lovely Christmas gift!

Absolutely divine!

I'm sad to say no Christmas for me this year. My mum's birthday is December the 14th. She passed December 19th last year. My brother also died the same week last year so its time for their ashes to find peace in a beautiful Garden of Remembrance near home. This video had so much soul, Kevin. Not just some guy hanging some decorations. All our decorations are in boxes. Maybe next year ❤ Your video was so inspirational and heart warming....

Feliz Navidad Kevin ! Love your videos.Greetings from Spain!!❤🐕😼🎄🎵🎵

Happy holidays, Kevin and Lizette and loved ones-you make a great team for creating these beautiful, enjoyable videos!

Thank you for offering a way to support a local farm important to you! The granola gift basket is perfect for my daughter!

I have never had a more lovely, peaceful, perfect time decorating for Christmas than I did with Kevin this year. Thank you so much, Kevin, for making life so lovely!!! Hope you had the most wonderful holidays!!!

Great video! Your house is spectacular and your ornaments are lovely. Loved the Tudor ornaments. I’ve been wanting to purchase the teas from Tierra Farms and I’m so glad I waited. Just purchased a kit of each. 😊

Dear Kevin ; Goldies first Christmas 🎄 Can't wait to see his reaction to the tree. He likes the lights🎉 The gifts from your collection are lovely and the prices so reasonable 😊

Kevin, I'm older then you but I learn something new everytime I watch your videos! You do everything with such precision! Your house is so beautiful! God has really blessed you! Merry Christmas!

The Christmas music at the piano was superb. This was a beautiful video all round!
