Magical Christmas Decorating in the Schoolhouse: Holiday Tour 🎄

Video Description

The biggest thanks to @KingOfChristmas_ for providing the giant tree and wreaths helping us make the schoolhouse feel extra magical this season! They’re going to be hanging around (literally) for many Christmases to come. :) https://www.kingofchristmas.com/ #kingofchristmas, #ad #gifted --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *In this video:* (0:00) A Christmas at the Schoolhouse, year 2! Lots of changes are coming this Indiana winter inside the old schoolhouse we’ve been renovating for years! (2:01) This year’s plan: Handmade, old, colorful, and playful—hopefully the holiday decorating style is suited for an old school. (3:35) Unboxing the 12-Foot Tree King of Christmas sent over a giant tree and wreaths—and the kids help with the very enthusiastic unboxing. (5:04) Handmade Ornaments & Making Strinsel- aka String Tinsel! We make string tinsel from old NYC curtains and kid-approved pom-pom garland for our big new tree. (9:31) Bringing the Magic Outside We recreate vintage reindeer once used to decorate the school, plus add new wreaths to the towering windows. (10:52) Rebuilding the Reindeer Cutting, painting, sanding, and turning a broken template into a full magical herd—including Rudolph. (14:05) Gifts from Strangers Over the last year, the schoolhouse has been receiving the most unexpected treasures from strangers and neighbors. (16:18) The Story of Lenart A simple Etsy purchase leads to a friendship with an 18-year-old antiques aficionado from Slovenia. (21:28) The Holiday Tour Begins A look at how the schoolhouse is decorated this year—complete with dinosaurs in the nativity scene. (23:12) What’s Coming Next We’re building salvaged-material kitchen cabinets next—and welcoming a new baby! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Also mentioned in this video:* Be sure to check out Lenart's incredible shop.
