Christina Haack is decking her halls with the help of a kind-hearted contractor.
The Christina on The Coast star gave a special shoutout to Michael Lange, a member of her contracting team who has appeared on her HGTV shows, for helping her with some Christmas décor.
Over a picture of a work boot-clad Michael underneath her sizable fir, the HGTV star quipped about her helpful elf, writing on her Instagram Story Dec. 2, “There are still good men left…one of them right here single handedly hoisted this 11 foot tree into my home. Appreciate you @capa_a_general.”
Christina’s tree is going up just a day after she gave her followers a look at her Thanksgiving celebration with her and ex-husband Tarek El Moussa’s 14-year-old daughter Taylor. The mother-daughter duo spent the holiday in New York City.
Christina—who also shares Brayden, 8, with Tarek and Hudson, 4, with her ex-husband Ant Anstead—is coming into her first holiday season without estranged husband Josh Hall, after the pair each filed to end their two-year marriage in July.
And it seems all she wants for Christmas is to not have to dim her light.
In November, Christina spoke about her decision to flip the switch on her marriage to Josh and move forward without him on her upcoming series The Flip Off with Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa.
"I feel like I was not shining as bright to try and not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to look like that?,” she told Entertainment Tonight Nov. 15. "It was not fun, to be honest. I did not enjoy filming with him.” Which is why she was more than happy to renovate their series. "So having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way,” she continued. “This show would've been hard to film."
Christina—who will officially be working with Ant on the series—added that she believed Josh was jealous of her working relationship with her first husband.
"Tarek and I have our own dynamic and some could call it 'flirty,'" she told ET. "For me, it's like a sibling type thing."
