It's official! Now that Thanksgiving Day is behind us, it's time to decorate for Christmas (if you haven't already!). The process of decking the halls can bring some challenges, and one of those is finding the perfect spot for the season's showpiece: The Christmas tree!
Joanna Gaines shared a behind-the-scenes video of her Christmas tree installation, and it certainly took some maneuvering. First, she had some help relocating her truly enormous fiddle leaf fig, because the Christmas tree takes its spot in the cozy living room. Then, her husband Chip and some helpers bring in the massive tree and set it up in front of the window. The tree almost reaches the vaulted ceiling. Joanna captioned the video, "Mama likes big trees✨🎄"
Once the tree is in place, Joanna has some help adding Christmas ornaments from her youngest son, Crew, who stands on a ladder to reach the higher branches.
It's already been a busy Christmas season for 5-year-old Crew. Joanna shared a video of him putting up a Christmas tree in his own bedroom on November 12.
And what about her beautiful fiddle leaf fig? It heads to the laundry room for the holiday season. Joanna shared a video on her Instagram story and wrote, "The large fiddle stays in here until after Christmas. It feels like I'm doing laundry in the jungle."
It sounds like Joanna, Crew, and the rest of the Gaines family are in for a magical holiday season.
