I am a friend of this family. This gentleman has the most exquisite collection of victorian Christmas decor. He also has an unrivaled passion for medieval era attire. He has such impeccable taste. Great video.

As a german this makes me very happy to see such old german christmas decorations being charished! And most of them are still made and appreciated today! Exquisite collection!

One of the best Victorian Christmas tours I've ever seen! Thank you for posting all your treasures.

All the vintage Christmas ornaments are beautiful. I like hearing the history of the Victorian era.

Awesome tour. Would love to see the trees and their decorations up close in person!

My mother has one glass ornament that has been passed down from my family since the Victorian era. I remember many more as a kid, but they weren’t as protected as this particular one. I never really took an interest in it but now I have to do some research. Thank you for sharing your precious collection I would love to visit in person one day. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

It's hard to believe that these delicate items have survived. I can't imagine the time it must have taken to collect each of these beautiful pieces. Thank you for sharing!

This was so interesting and I could listen for hours to this man, he knows so much about Victorian Christmas! Love it!❤

Beautiful and very interesting to know. I would enjoy if the camera would focus on the items instead of the whole tree which it’s hard to appreciate the molds, ornaments and each tree history time. Thank you.

This is so gorgeous! Definitely taking notes so I can recreate some of these for my own tree lol

I’m fascinated by the Victorian era and fascinated with royalty in general although I’m not a royalist. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert really were the perfect love story. I know she moved his desk into the room where she had hers and did her royal duties from, giving him respect by doing so. I can see how she loved him because he was so knowledgeable and forward thinking. I am at the moment reading Queen Mary’s dolls house which is incredible, every item being made by the skilled workers of the day, for instance the miniature furniture made by furniture craftsmanship, the carpet sweeper and garden tools made by the iron mongers of the day etc. This was a lovely insight into a Victorian Christmas. Thank you.

I have seen tinsil made out of lead. When I was an archivist and we would process office paperwork many of the christmas cards up to the time following WWII would have black on them. This was not indicating death or mourning but the silver used on the card tarnishing.

Love the idea of a gift tree, I would like to do one this Christmas

This was so interesting! I learned new things about antique Christmas decorations and Victorian Christmas traditions thanks to you.

This video was heavenly! I loved it! Your knowledge of these Christmas antiques is so fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing! I wish I had a time machine! ❤❤❤🎄🎄🎄

This was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank-you for making this presentation.

Beautiful displays. Thank you so much for sharing. I visited this house in July 2019. I would love to visit again for your Christmas display !

Wow this was fascinating and very inspiring. I knew that a lot of our ornaments had a Victorian beginning but didn’t realise butterflies, paper chains, cars and houses that light up were on the list. Thank you very much for sharing XX

First I was looking of these on pinterest. But Now I can actualy see a video one! I love christmas vintage stuff! Very beautiful! Hope I can see them in person!

.y mom was a docent at the Maux Home in Fresno CA. He was a doctor who had 2 daughters, that lived in the house till their deaths.

Wonderful presentation! I could almost smell the figgy pudding and was I was expecting the Ghost of Christmas Past to wink at us from behind one of the trees!

Lovely tour. Thank you.

Beautiful

Wonderful display.

Fantastic video - as an antique German Christmas collector, this was very educational

Christmas Day! Enjoying this video. I have one feather tree. It is my treasure.

Thank You ..Sooo very Interesting 🕊🎄🕊

This is so fascinating. One request is that you zoom in more and use a light to see the ornaments up close. It is hard to picture what you describe without seeing it better. Thanks so much!

Nice ideas!

Wonderful. All we need is to hear the pianoforte, or a harmonium, or some singers. Merry Christmas.

Love this site

The print on your curtains looks like a Wm Morris fabric/wallpaper print from the Arts and Crafts period.

That dress from The Alienist 😍

Good show! Now all you need is a cat, or two! Best wishes from Lisbon Portugal

I decorate our house in a Victorian theme. We've purchased reproduction decorations and antique ones as well.

Wunderschöne Weihnachten Dekoration schöne Grüße aus dem Wien 💯💯🌲🌲🌲☃️☃️☃️☘️☘️🦃🦃🦃🐝🐝🐝

I came upon this video and was glad I did. The presentation was so enjoyable and informative. Dr. George Johnson, do you have a KZfaq channel and if so can you please post the link? If you don't have a channel you should start one. This was a pleasant end to my Christmas Day, Thank You.

First originals , then not christmas related trees but tied with winter solstice, had decorations made from straws and red yarn, what was/is our very old tradition what comes from time before christmas was even a thing. First public Christmas tree in history was put up in Tallinn / what was very important port and trading town then / and yes it was decorated with edible gifts / apples and cookies/ for town poor people. Later was used more items like nuts and berries too. From that it very quickly spread to all over the world. To have evergreen tree decorated for winter solstice is our very very old tradition what goes back to maybe before AD, it was just taken over and started use in religious context. Anyway outcome was not bad, nowdays it has got nearly back its old meaning - to bring hapiness and hope to people in darkest time of year.

Splendid documentary! Lovely collection!I learned a lot! Only thing was the amount of ums and uhs in the presentation got kind of distracting.

The gift tree reminds me of the Vogue Christmas tree from the 1970s decorated entirely with packets of cigarettes 😂

This is one of the most interesting & fascinating virtual tour with the worst editing ever.

Nice

Thank you so much for this presentation it was so informative as well as beautiful. Though it is now past Christmas 2022 I hope you had a very Blessed Christmas.🌲✝️ Jesus is the Reason for the Season.

I can't believe I've never heard of this before. Circleville isn't far away from Lancaster at all.

Enjoyed everything. I just noticed in description that Queen Victoria's reign had the wrong date. It was 1837-1901. I don't know if you are able to edit.

❤❤❤❤❤

I really enjoyed this video video I'll probably never get to Ohio so I enjoyed looking at all of it I learned a lot about it's not about the décor and decorating of the trees back in the 1800s was very interesting and very educational thank you very much very short

I'm determined to make gilded walnuts once.

Wonderful! Thanks so much for this! Get rid of those babbling women!

I have 1 question. Where can I find that beautiful version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen?

Are the gift and angel trees made from feathers?

Does anyone know the name of the music playing?

HOW can a cardboard building safely have a lit candle in it?? The trees are scary enough, but this seems like a recipe for holiday disaster.
