    This year's Christmas tree

Transcript

Let's design this year's Christmas tier. You guys know I absolutely love designing my own Christmas tree every single year, so you might recognize a few of these trees that I've designed. This year, we're keeping on with that same tradition and doing something even bigger. We're in the great hall, and I have 14 foot tall ceilings and a huge living room to work with. So stick with me. I just had a dinner party where I made these candelabras look like they're drenched in wax. And when I saw them together, I had a crazy idea. What if I make a huge candelabra Christmas tree? Like, imagine how beautiful it's gonna best, a huge Christmas tree covered in candles and drenched in wax. I'm thinking iron scrolls and curves throughout all the branches so that the tree really looks like a candelabra. I've been reading the comments, and everyone's excitement around the tree has been fueling me to really make something special. So stay tuned to watch me build this year's Christmas tier.
