  We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mamas, are you those
• 0:04
  kinds of people who decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving? Or are you those kinds
• 0:08
  of people who wait until at least Black Friday? Let's ask our American mamas.
• 0:13
  Ahm mama and joining us now our American mamas Terry Netville and Kimberly Burlison.
• 0:29
  I definitely fall into one of those categories you have of here, one
• 0:34
  of each. I feel like I need to be in like some kind of
• 0:38
  group where I'm like, I am Kimberly and I am a November one Christmas
• 0:43
  decorator as soon as Halloween as ever walked into her house. Let me throw
• 0:47
  a little bit of grace. You are a professional decorator. I mean,
• 0:51
  that's true, but I've been doing I've been doing this my whole life,
• 0:55
  decorating the day after Halloween because it gives me so much joy. But it's
• 1:00
  also so much work that I want to have a long period of time to
• 1:03
  enjoy it and see that is the real That's what keeps me from it.
• 1:08
  Like I love it when Kimberly's over there because she'll, you know, if
• 1:11
  I've got my stuff down. She can do it in a day. It
• 1:14
  takes me a week. It takes me a week. Hers house is already
• 1:19
  completely decorated, and I'm like, I don't want to do it this year.
• 1:22
  I say this every year, and I ended up doing it, but
• 1:23
  because it takes me so long to get everything out of the attic and to
• 1:27
  put it up, and then everything to put back up. And I've got
• 1:30
  some showers that were hosting in January. So I'm like, do I really
• 1:33
  want to do this? You must? I know, I know you must,
• 1:36
  but I don't love it the way that I want it done. Your
• 1:40
  family loves it, your children love but do they help me. Kimberly nobody
• 1:42
  helps me, I know, but you love it. I don't know it.
• 1:47
  Here's my back. But here's my deal. I don't know. Like
• 1:53
  Kimberly decorates all of our houses. Okay, So when I take pictures of
• 1:57
  my house as it is, I deal cannot put it back together. I
• 2:00
  have to wait till she comes over to put me back together. It's a
• 2:05
  whole thing, like she draws me crazy. I will decorate her house.
• 2:09
  And she's a framed girl. She buys the most mismatched frames and she just
• 2:14
  sticks them wherever she wants, just so really memories. I love family memories.
• 2:20
  I love to have them every there. I'll come And then when she
• 2:22
  comes over, she's like, nope, she'll get it. Noe, nope,
• 2:24
  nope and pulls them off the shelf. But here's what she here's another
• 2:28
  way that she judged me. I she's a she's a home decorator judger before
• 2:35
  I before. She's the one that actually told our contractor how I needed like
• 2:38
  she had. These are the built it. She drew it out, built
• 2:40
  in shelves. She went around my house and she collected I love quotes.
• 2:46
  You know how much I love her house. There's something being talked to you.
• 2:51
  Her house talks to you every single corner. So she pulls first,
• 2:58
  No, she does this very judgmental, mean video to our family, to
• 3:02
  our entire family on both sides, and she walks around and says, like
• 3:07
  in case she didn't know, in the bathroom, you must flush like I
• 3:10
  would have like different little things like be a sweetie, don't now. In
• 3:15
  the dining room, we must gather. So I had all I didn't realize
• 3:20
  I had that many. But through every doorway she'd look up and she kept
• 3:23
  a couple of them. I was like, don't take all of my quotes,
• 3:27
  but it was the most Yeah, I felt shamed because people online,
• 3:31
  especially decorators, they were howling with laughter. Oh yeah, it looked like
• 3:36
  I It looked like I went to hobby lobby and Terry Anne is lying.
• 3:44
  You know what Christmas is important for not just you but your family and your
• 3:47
  house needs to be screaming joy. Yes, but yes, but I'm on
• 3:53
  Terry side here. I'm jumping in Stephen. November eleventh is Veteran's Day.
• 3:59
  Okay, that's a whole holiday. When we decorate for Christmas, we're skipping
• 4:01
  over. We're ignoring the sacrifices made by our federates. This Christmases a tree
• 4:09
  fly, a bunch of trees, decorate with the flags, right and then
• 4:13
  and then we're forgetting to be thankful before we start going Christmas shopping. If
• 4:19
  you don't get into the right thankful mindset before you hit through the stores in
• 4:24
  December, you won't even be buying the right gifts for your family because you
• 4:28
  won't be focused through bagh. That's all I have to say. You can
• 4:31
  give thanks on Thanksgiving with your house decorated in Christmas lights. Yes. Well,
• 4:36
  and here's another thing I do. I will say I do love Christmas.
• 4:42
  Our dad was huge. We got to have the icicles and helping thrown.
• 4:46
  I have Hallmark on from October, November and December. I love the
• 4:50
  way it's decorated. That's my thing. I want it done. I just
• 4:55
  wish that I was one of those wealthy people who could pay somebody come alright,
• 5:00
  spend the whole day, because I want to live in it. I
• 5:02
  just don't want to do. I don't know what I'm doing. Do you
• 5:03
  remember that traumatizing Christmas that mom didn't decorate until your birthday December seventeenth? You
• 5:11
  remember you asked for that for your birthday. We begged her every single day
• 5:14
  of December to decorate, and she would not do it, and then you
• 5:17
  asked for your boat. I manipulated like one week, and I was traumatized
• 5:25
  by that. She was traumatized. She probably told me to ask Mom for
• 5:28
  that. She's the one that wanted it. There's actually a Christmas. We
• 5:31
  went to my parents' house and we helped them on Christmas Eve put up the
• 5:35
  tree. That's ridiculous because then you got to clean it right back up.
• 5:39
  Yep. And by the way, we had we had to use a rope
• 5:40
  to tie it to the wall because otherwise the cats would be knocking it over.
• 5:43
  But that's another story altogether. You and Yell's cat, I know another
• 5:46
  story altogether. Okay, So if you like ask our American Mama is a
