- Hey, my friends, Merry Christmas to y'all.
0:03
Eddie has been working on these decorations
0:06
for the last two days, like a mad man,
0:09
trying to get it done.
0:10
But I want to show y'all what this man has done
0:13
in two days.
0:17
Which actually,
0:20
maybe came to one day
0:21
by the time you stop and start.
0:24
But,
0:25
I want y'all to see these beautiful mercury balls.
0:30
Eddie and I found these
0:32
at Ann's Secret Garden in Albany, Georgia.
0:35
She has the most beautiful things
0:39
and
0:40
I wish we could figure out a way to hang them
0:42
'cause they have lights,
0:45
but they're very, very heavy.
0:48
Very heavy.
0:52
Everything looks so pretty, Eddie.
0:54
And I want to show y'all what my sissy gave me
0:57
for Christmas.
0:59
And when I say sissy, I'm talking about bubbles,
1:01
Susan Green, Bubbles.
1:03
She had this lady
1:06
make this most beautiful
1:09
birdhouse for me.
1:11
Look at it.
1:12
It's got stained glass windows
1:16
and it's got a big hole.
1:17
So, I don't know, maybe this is for blue birds.
1:21
I know the hole determines what bird will use it.
1:25
But look at this.
1:26
I mean, it looks so real
1:28
and it's made outta old wood
1:30
which makes it even more special.
1:36
So Eddie and I will be finishing up
1:39
What's that? Oh, and the chicken coop.
1:42
We've got our chickens, y'all.
1:44
But I'll save those for another day, how about that?
1:47
Because I don't have any,
1:49
I don't have any red bows
1:51
around their neck, so (chuckles)
1:53
we'll save those.
1:55
So y'all come on in
1:56
and I'll show y'all what Eddie
1:58
has
1:59
managed to get accomplished.
2:00
(door screeching)
2:02
Well, hey, Lulu.
2:04
We decided this year that we were going to scale back y'all,
2:09
because last year boy, honey, this place,
2:11
was decked out to beat the band.
2:14
And it's hard to get all that stuff back and put together.
2:17
All right now,
2:18
the first Christmas Eddie and I was together
2:21
he gave me this beautiful, beautiful piece.
2:25
And he had a bird in it and greenery.
2:28
And so,
2:30
a couple of days ago he said
2:31
I really want to take everything,
2:33
all that stuff out
2:34
and put in your carolers because
2:36
I adore,
2:39
adore the carolers.
2:41
And I have so many over the years.
2:43
I've collected them.
2:45
And I've even started with my girls,
2:48
with Kari and Brooke and
2:53
Michelle
2:56
and Ashley.
2:57
And,
2:59
did I forget any?
3:00
- [Eddie] Well you,
3:02
- Ashley, Michelle Kari, Brooke
3:05
and Cloud.
3:06
- [Eddie] Yep. And you do Susan, sometimes.
3:07
- Yeah. Well, you know what, she went to a yarn sale,
3:10
Eddie and bought about 30 or 40 vintage ones.
3:14
And so I told her the other day, I said,
3:16
you have got enough Byer dolls.
3:18
I'm not giving you a Byer doll this Christmas.
3:22
(Eddie laughs)
3:23
So I got her something else that's real good.
3:26
So, I just think this is beautiful. I told Eddie,
3:28
it's gonna be hard to give that up
3:31
after Christmas.
3:31
'Cause that's the most beautiful.
3:35
What do you call these things, Eddie?
3:37
- [Eddie] It's, it's a, well,
3:39
normally you would put a, you know,
3:41
a nice mantle clock. - Clock.
3:42
- [Eddie] So it's - Uh-huh.
3:43
- [Eddie] a glass of dough.
3:46
- Well, it's absolutely, incredibly beautiful.
3:49
So we really have scaled back this year.
3:51
And Eddie,
3:54
I love a Christmas tree where you almost
3:56
can't even see the limbs on it.
3:58
And, Eddie does not like
4:01
my Christmas trees.
4:03
So he said, you know,
4:04
let's be able to see the tree this year.
4:07
But when he goes home tonight and goes to bed
4:10
or when we get back,
4:11
I'll be pulling out all my ornaments.
4:13
(laughs)
4:15
So you'll come in one morning, Eddie
4:17
and you won't be able to see the lounge.
4:19
- [Eddie] Like last year
4:19
by Christmas, the limbs were all down to the floor.
4:22
(Eddie laughs)
4:23
- I Know, I know.
4:24
They were so heavy.
4:25
So he set up the nativity scene.
4:29
That's such a beautiful nativity scene.
4:32
We were on a cruise in Mexico,
4:34
Eddie
4:35
and
4:37
I bought that in Mexico
4:39
and I did take the baby Jesus out.
4:42
'Cause Eddie told me he hadn't been born yet.
4:44
So he doesn't need to be in his bed.
4:47
So, I put him away.
4:50
All right.
4:51
Let's see.
4:51
And you going to see
4:54
my Christmas dolls
4:56
all over the house.
4:57
I think the Salvation Army lady may be
4:59
like my favorite.
5:01
- [Eddie] Yeah, you got those last year.
5:02
The whole,
5:03
I mean you talked about Susan,
5:05
you scored that, (Paula laughs)
5:07
a good set.
5:08
- Where, where, where did we get it
5:10
from? Did we find it off the
5:11
- [Eddie] We got it here in Savannah
5:12
at a shop in Savannah.
5:14
It was the entire set.
5:16
- Oh my gosh.
5:17
Look at it, y'all.
5:18
The Salvation Army.
5:21
They do do such a good job
5:23
to help people that
5:27
maybe have had a year of stumbles
5:30
and
5:31
they do so much to help pick 'em back up
5:34
and make sure that
5:36
the children are taken care of.
5:38
And over here now, Sissy gave me this,
5:42
one Christmas.
5:45
Mr. and Mrs. Seafaring Santa Claus
5:49
and Mrs. Claus.
5:52
And I just love this.
5:54
It looks like us, (laughs)
5:57
doesn't it?
5:58
- [Eddie] It it does.
5:58
- All right.
5:59
And oh, oh, oh,
6:04
A viewer
6:07
friend
6:09
made me the most incredible
6:12
duplicate
6:15
of this house.
6:16
He brought it to me when,
6:19
about a month ago, Eddie?
6:20
- [Eddie] Ah, yeah, yeah.
6:21
And we did a, we did a video.
6:22
- He lives in Texas.
6:23
Yes. And we did a video
6:26
and, I just want y'all to look
6:28
at this house.
6:30
It's incredible.
6:31
And he was upset.
6:33
His name is Jim.
6:35
Help me pronounce his last name.
6:37
- [Eddie] Hankin.
6:39
- Hankin, yeah. H a n k i n ,I think
6:41
it's spelled. - [Eddie] Mm-hmm. Yeah.
6:44
- But he made this and brought it all the way
6:47
from Texas
6:49
to give to me.
6:50
And he was upset because I forgot about the chandelier
6:54
hanging on the front porch.
6:57
I said, well, I think it's just like perfect just
7:01
the way it is.
7:02
So, it's got
7:03
lights in it
7:04
and they're set on candles,
7:07
so they kind of blink
7:10
and
7:15
then Tiny Tim's
7:16
- [Eddie] It's a Christmas Carol scene.
7:18
- Yes.
7:19
And there's that old Grinch.
7:21
- [Eddie] Scrooge.
7:22
- Scrooge. I meant. (Eddie and Paula laugh)
7:25
And look,
7:26
look at this little angel right here.
7:29
One Christmas I had her
7:31
on a table
7:32
behind the sofa
7:34
and Otis got up
7:35
there on the sofa
7:36
and tore her almost all her hair off.
7:39
And I had to glue it back on.
7:41
But I adored Otis,
7:43
it was alright.
7:44
(Eddie and background lady laugh)
7:46
It was alright that you did that.
7:48
Does the fireplace turn on?
7:50
I can't remember.
7:51
- [Eddie] No, no.
7:52
- But look at this one.
7:53
I think he might have got a hold of this one too. (laughs)
7:57
Look at that.
7:57
That looks like mine.
7:58
- [Speaker] Oh, that's bad.
8:00
- That looks like my, when I went,
8:01
- [Lady] That one's got character.
8:04
- Yes, he does.
8:06
Like I said, I just adore them.
8:08
I know you're not supposed to love things
8:10
but I do love those.
8:11
And
8:14
snow globes
8:16
and
8:17
I started collecting those,
8:19
you know, they're
8:20
not old, but I just like 'em.
8:22
I just like the way they look.
8:24
And Eddie and I was in Nashville
8:27
Tennessee
8:29
at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen.
8:31
And somebody brought in a snow globe
8:34
of me.
8:35
- [Eddie] It was of your kitchen?
8:37
- Yes. - [Eddie] It was a replica
8:39
of your kitchen. - Right.
8:39
- [Eddie] with your fireplace - With me in the kitchen.
8:41
Have no idea who made that,
8:43
who produced it.
8:44
And Eddie says it's around here somewhere,
8:47
but,
8:49
I'll show you that
8:49
if we ever locate it.
8:52
I have got more
8:53
Christmas decorations then I have
8:57
rooms.
8:58
(laughs)
9:00
- I'm outta places to put it.
9:03
So show them the tree.
9:04
It's naked, Eddie.
9:07
Look at this naked little tree. (laughs)
9:10
But it is pretty.
9:13
You can see the limbs.
9:14
And for the first time ever,
9:16
I told Eddie, I said,
9:18
I want our topper to be an angel,
9:23
to watch over us.
9:28
And, let's see,
9:30
Eddie just did scenes with the Byers people
9:32
just kind of everywhere.
9:34
There's another
9:37
seafaring lady
9:40
and,
9:42
Oh,
9:43
was it last Christmas, Eddie?
9:44
Or Christmas before last
9:46
that we found all these Byer's snowmen.
9:50
- [Eddie] Yeah, the snowmen.
9:51
- Yeah. They're Byer's dolls.
9:53
And I didn't even know they made snowmen,
9:57
but
9:58
we lucked up.
9:59
We went into this store that we love (laugh)
10:03
and they were,
10:06
they were in there.
10:09
Oh, and look,
10:10
we got it for $12 and 99 cents.
10:12
Do you remember me dancing all over Home goods?
10:15
I was so happy. (laughs)
10:19
All right.
10:20
And, one of my favorite scenes
10:23
Eddie set up
10:26
is over here.
10:29
He took down our blue and white plates and put in
10:32
the green ones.
10:33
But look how pretty, look how beautiful.
10:37
And you can buy some of the neatest accessories from Byer.
10:41
And
10:45
this was from them.
10:47
And the street lights.
10:50
We have another street light, don't we, Eddie?
10:52
Somewhere.
10:53
- [Eddie] Just the one. Over there.
10:54
- Oh, I had two.
10:56
It's in a box somewhere. (laughs)
11:00
And we got another little scene over here
11:03
with Mr. And Ms. Snowman
11:05
and the reindeer
11:07
and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
11:09
And they're out by their bird bath,
11:13
looking at their cardinal
11:14
that has flown in
11:17
to bathe in their,
11:21
in their bird bath.
11:23
So that's about it.
11:24
I mean, we've really cut back this year.
11:26
Once again, Merry Christmas to y'all
11:30
with much love and many best dishes.
