My first Christmas married to my husband was 1986. (We got married in March like you two.) Last year was my first Christmas without him. He passed away a year and a half ago. We were married 35 years, 2 months, and one week. We met on New Year's Eve 1984. I pray you and Austin have many happy and healthy years together with an abundance of God's blessings! Merry Christmas to you two and Olive!!

My husband’s mom just gifted me all her ornaments this year, since she doesn’t put up a tree anymore. I was thrilled to receive all my husbands childhood ornaments to add to the mix of our children’s special ornaments, those sentimental items are worth more than any expensive decoration from a store. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄

I remember my first Christmas with my wonderful wife. Very cozy. Fast forward 32 years and it is full of grandkids and all their cousins! Have a Merry Christmas!!!

Corri , a little tip my aunt taught me when I was first married, when you hang towels on your stove like Christmas and you don't plan on using them for anything but decoration ,take a small safety pin and pin underneath so they don't keep falling :)

How fun to share your first married Christmas together with all of us. Olive definitely has her opinion of how to decorate and there is such a special moment to spend the time with your mom. Enjoy your time with Austin's family. They surely love you as you seem to love them. As babies, we gave each boy (2) an ornament every year beginning with their first Christmas. Great idea but when they left home and took their packets of ornaments, we were left with only a few. Just a note: we always put the nativity ornament on one of the bottom branches so that in order to see it clearly, one must need to kneel.

I remember our first Christmas..1965...we were living in a tiny apartment that cost $50.00 a month furnished...my husband gave me a wristwatch.😊Now we are 76 and 78...with children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren...God has been good to us with all the things we've been through like most married couples our age. I enjoyed seeing your tree and decorations.😊

A marriage milestone. Enjoy the season!

Broke a shelf with too many books? Relatable! So sweet of your mom to come help. Such a heart-warming video, thanks! May God bless you all this Christmas!

My wife and I saved all of the cards that we got on our first Christmas. The following year we up-cycled them by tracing and cutting out pretty scenes that would fit inside of Mason Jar lids. A little bit of hot glue and twine and we made cool ornaments that we still have and use all these years later. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Your home looks cozy and beautiful!!! 😊 Christmas Blessings to you and yours!!! 💕

You two are so cute together. Such a sweet couple. I pray you're lives together are always happy, healthy and successful. God bless you both.🙏❤️💙

Very sweet that your Mom came over to help you clean and decorate, be sure and reciprocate 😊 Your tree and your special ornaments with a history looks really great! ❄️🎄❄️

The first ornament on a tree should be a white dove for Peace in the upcoming year. Tradition. 🎄🙏

Making memories, one holiday at a time. Like you, we inherited Christmas decorations from many people when we were first married. All of those loved ones are gone now. Fortunately, Cheryl labelled each ornament as they were given to us. Today, the labels allow us to remember the loved ones who gave us each of these special gifts. Knowing where these precious ornaments came from provides beautiful memories every time we decorate. You might consider that practice, Corie. BTW, Tipper is really good to have around. Next year, I may let her know when we're getting ready to put our tree up! ;)

Your house looks so warm and cozy!! Your first Christmas together is so special, its a time to start all your Christmas traditions!!!

Your mother is such a blessing 💖 Merry Christmas 🎄

Making memories is what it is all about... Yall can come help me!! Hahaha I miss my mom helping me. Have fun girls! So good to see you two decorating together. So pretty! Great job yall!!

"Secret egg"...my fingers are crossed for you! ...as ever, hearing you girls play and sing makes cry. So beautiful & poignant--

I love this video. Seeing your mom helping you clean reminded me of my mom and me. I hardly did any thing without her help. She went to live with Jesus three years ago and I miss her so much but you brought back a very sweet memory. God bless

I enjoyed watching you and Austin decorate your first Christmas tree as husband and wife. Thanks for sharing this special event. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season!

That was just so lovely, Corie! I really enjoyed it!

You are such a great family. God be with all of you.

Thank you so much- you look so much like your daddy-my dad passed 8 years this April.The song was beautiful but the photo of your dad with family leaning against the car with his arms crossed reminded so much of my own dad when getting a picture taken.

Looking good so far. I don't decorate anymore since I'm alone so I really enjoy watching y'all decorating.

Y’all are so affectionate to each other it’s sweet ❤

This video brought back memories of my wife and my first Christmas together. We went out and cut a cedar tree from my grandpa's farm. It was a time I will never forget. That was almost 41 years ago. I pray that you and Austin will have many years of joy together like we have. Merry Christmas.

I love how you recall where the ornaments came from. I do the same thing. One of my favorites is probably the cheapest looking one on the tree, but I made it during a special craft fair outing with my grandma when I was about 4 years old. I’m 53 new. I smile every year when I pull it out of the ornament tin and remember so many things from that day.

You guys are such a cute couple. I love your taste in vintage looking Christmas decor. Check the thrift shops for vintage items, sometimes people will donate their older Christmas decorations instead of packing them away and a lot of people will pass them by because they’re ready to be done with the holidays.

So sweet. I remember our first Christmas together after getting married in 1982. Fun times!

I don't care what anybody says don't care what house you been raised in this right here is typical Christmas decoration storage at its finest. Sweet memories

I really enjoyed watching you and Austin decorate your tree. It was so special. You and Austin make a great couple. Both of you are so sweet. I'm from Alabama.

Corie, to be "slower than Christmas" you're doing good! Haha! I don't have my tree up yet😅

Ms. Corey , I know you & Austin are Excited to be your 1st YEAR sharing CHRISTMAS, SINCE you Guys Got Married!And Decorating your Tree TOGEATHER, IT WILL BE A SPECIAL 1st Christmas in your own Home! You Guys Tree 🌲 is Beautiful! Your Home look’s Beautiful for Christmas! Sweet of your Mom to come Help you put up the Tree! Hope this is the best Christmas Ever, with Lots of Memories!

I want to share a tradition my wife and I have ..each year we pick a tree ornament to represent each yr. Sometimes we found decorations w that year sometimes just take a marker and wright the year on it. We know have 30 Differant ornaments .over the years . We have green leafy garland we put on a lamp pole and place the ornaments on it ...

Wow, your first year married, and your tree is so nice and full of ornaments! It's beautiful! Your lovely arrangement in the green vase could be left our all winter for a little pop of cheery color. Blessings.🎄

Very sweet your mama helping you with your first christmas tree in your new home. Blessings and Happy New Year!

I love your decorations !

My wife and I made a ceremic tree the 2nd yr were married...we added baby red bows and draped beads like you would tinsel on a tree. Also glued Christmas earrings as ornaments.

Lots of memories being made. Decorations look so good. Nice to include your mom! Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy watching your & your families videos. Brings me back to when I was a little girl. Watching you all decorating your mom & dad's tree & now you & Austin. 🎄💒

My parents have been married 52 years and they have made a picture ornament every year they've been married. Of course it was just them at 16 and 17 but includes us boys as we came along and it's always a treat to see the yearly changes as we've all grown through the years. I now do it with my family and my kids are doing it with theirs. Just a thought. 😇

Your tree was so lovely. I adore how each ornament has a special meaning to each of you. It truly is a tree of memories. I know I’m catching this well into the first of the year, but life has been crazy. Love y’all! 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I haven't had a tree in years. Not entirely by choice. One day the Lord told me that Christmas trees have nothing at all to do with Him. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was all a commercial idea that people have just adopted and because of it, it resulted in creating nostalgic memories for ppl and the more this became a tradition for many ppl.

You all are so sweet! Love all the memories in your tree ornaments! Blessings to you both! Love how you ended your video with you and Katie singing!🎁

I love you n Katie singing away in a Manger, so beautiful and one of my most favourite Christmas songs ever

Cory you and Austin enjoy your first Christmas in your new home!! It will be a Christmas you will never forget!! Your home is Beautiful!! May God Bless You and Your Precious Family ❤️ 🙏🏽 💕

Love your Tree and the History of the Ornaments. You are an Adorable Couple. God Bless.

Corie and Austin the tree looks great. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for sharing this very special time; it made MY Christmas more special! Everything was beautiful the first go round, including that gorgeous artificial tree. Live trees sometimes have live spiders that drop into your carpet. (Guess how I know.) After the additions, it was over the top. So many meaningful items, perfectly displayed. My other favorite things were Olive putting in her two cents worth, the final arrangement on top of the red heater, the rectangular dish with bottle brushes painted on it, and the Christmas afghan that looked like Granny's handiwork. Also have to tell Austin "Go Dawgs!" Maybe he's had some days recently like my son... decide between the deer stand or the tv. I have a UGA t-shirt that was my pup's; sure wish it was large enough to fit Olive. I pray that God will continue to bless your first Christmas season as a family, Corie, Austin and Olive. ♥️

I have enjoyed all your Christmas prep, you and your Momand now you and Austin decorating and telling memories! It's so sweet of you all to share. That is a beautiful tree!!! God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤

Your tree is absolutely perfect! May the Lord bless you all. ❤️

Seeing the bags under the stairs looks too familiar! We put up the same tree for 40 years after every season I’d dissemble it and stuff into garbage bags under the stairs until the next year. This was back in the day when the artificial trees were put on a limb at a time, it took forever! 5 years ago our water heater busted and water had leaked onto the floor and made it under the stairs ruining the tree. Since then, we have gone into the woods and cut down a cedar like we used to do when I was a child…much easier and it smells so good!

Your Christmas tree and all your decorations are beautiful. I especially like your nativity scene and the figurine of the children on the sleigh.

Love your tree and decor..I too like bottle brush trees. 1st Christmas’s as a married couple are so SPECIAL…make lots of memories🎄

Such pretty decorations! The tree is lovely! When we first put ours up I always loved to turn all the lights off and sit and look at the lights. So pretty! 🎄❤️🎄

You two are just meant for each other! What a perfect couple 🥰beautiful tree 🎄

Beautiful Vintage looking Christmas tree. It does not look artificial at all . Thanks for sharing the special memories your making. 🎄🎄

Been watching y'alls channels for over a year. This is in my top 10 all time faves.

Hi Corrie! My husband & I of 35 years ( God is so good!) Watch you & your families videos faithfully. I'm about to bust to share something with you! I have many memories of my dad & brothers deer hunting, etc When I was a little girl. We had a mounted deer like yours that hung on our wall. I was probably 9 or so when I started decorating him for Christmas. I hung ornaments on his horns and placed a small piece of red felt material on his nose. I used clear tape to hold it in place. He instantly was transformed into Rudolph!! I hope you enjoyed a little history about this, Jesus loving 64 year old memaw of 18 grandkids 💗 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

Your house and decorations are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your day with us. ❤

Oh, I was looking forward to seeing your tree put up, YAY! It looks so nice and the other decorations are so pretty too! Thanks for sharing with us Corie and Austin!!

Cory: How did you find a husband who is just like your Dad? You did a great job of it! May God bless your marriage!✝️❤️

Happy Christmas ladies

The tree is beautiful. Your decorations are so pretty and I love all your memories about the ornaments.

So beautiful, you two. Takes me back to my first Christmas married in 1969. Seems like yesterday. Merry Christmas, Austin, Corie and Olive!

So sweet, may you and Austin have a lifetime of Christmas’ together. That Christmas afghan was so gorgeous. Blessings from Idaho, TeresaSue.❤

Such a lovely and beautiful decorated home, and you and your sister singing the Christmas music. What a wonderful thing. Enjoy every moment that you guys have together as family during the holidays and I look forward to seeing more of your videos when they come out.

I love love your singing at the end! God bless you and yours.

Everything looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

This means business Christmas is official now in your home now🌲🎁🎄🎄Merry Christmas you two love birds💜⚘

I hope y’all have a blessed first Christmas as a married couple. Loved the song at the end.❤️

Corie and Austin, yall's tree is so, so beautiful, before you even put anything on it. I love how all the ornaments have a story. Great job decorating yall's tree! Have a beautiful blessed night. 🙏

I absolutely adore that green vase from hobby lobby and the flowers you chose for it!

Thanks so much for sharing your first family Christmas as a married lady listening, and I know that this is very important and special it's so wonderful how the emphasis are on creating lasting memories! Beautiful . Merry Christmas 🎄

Pretty tree, pretty decorations all around the house, pretty Mama helping. The first Christmas together as husband and wife is so special. Then there will be the first Christmas with babies (God willing) when the time comes. You both have so many memories to make together. God Bless you and keep you!

I have 2 deer heads in my living room and I put a big bow around their necks and Santa hat's on their heads. . I use a little quilt batting or tissue paper in the hats so the are not flat. Depends on the head and antlers . Looks like you have almost as much christmas "stuff" as me and I've been married 46 yrs. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 🎁 💗

Part of the allure of Christmas is the story behind all our traditions. I enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing. Connor

Everything looks so pretty, love your tree (particularly the pinecones). I think I remember y'all putting it up and taking it down; learned a great hack from Austin w/those zip-ties...that was slick when it came time to put 'er back up. Those stockings your MIL got you are beautiful. Love Olive, love your Austin, love all y'all. 🙌🏼💓🎄

I LOVED watching your excitement about Christmas! Thank you for letting us share such a special time with you and Austin!

Your family is so very special Merry Christmas to you all.

Beautiful! Merry Christmas!!!

The song in the end just made me all emotional❤️😂❤️

Liked that old Santa you put on the tree. Y’all are a great couple and hope you have a great Christmas.

Absolutely precious ❤️

Merry Christmas to you both! Your tree and home is beautiful.

It all looks beautiful!

That is one pretty Christmas tree! Y’all did a great job decorating it too. If I hadn’t seen the video when y’all bought the tree last year and then seen you and your mom put it up on this video, I’d never have would thought the tree was artificial. It’s just that pretty of a tree that looks very real. Merry Christmas y’all! 🎄✝️

Sweet Christmas memories!

Love the music! So beautiful! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

Merry First Christmas!!! 🎄

Everything is just beautiful, thank you for sharing your home and Christmas decorating with us. You two are just precious!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CORRIE AND AUSTIN! ⛄🎄 I loved the music at the end!!! 🥰

Merry Christmas to you and Austin and Olive 🐕💙🎄💙🐕

So a beautiful, relaxing video. Love how close you are to your parents. I'm 37 and still pick out trees and decorate with my parents to this day even though I am married and have children of my own. Family traditions are priceless. Was going to say "love the Georgia bottle. Go Dawgs!!" Then you mentioned that his parents live in Buford so it makes sense. I'm originally from Gwinnett, too, but have been living in Blue Ridge, GA since I was a little one. Love my Appalachias and you, your sister, and mom's channel. Merry Christmas and God bless.

Beautiful-Merry Christmas!

love the tree !! Merry Christmas !!! ya all are to cute !!!

Lovely tree , super job! 🥰🇬🇧🎄☃️
