Actually the stationary advent gift is a pen holder. ❤

Oh, this is fabulous watching you open all the fun gift gifts from Abby’s store. I have ordered there a couple of times because of you and it’s just fun to see how well she knows you and you get excited about everything you deserve it. You’re an awesome person.❤

I love your hair today!!! BTW, obsessed with your blog, for years now, but even more now because I have family in Charlotte and all the places you mention...I know and have been to!! So fun! Happy and excited for your move! Be good to yourself! [This is my PHRASE, every year. Was my dad's as well and he was my hero. I have it tattooed on my ankle, it's on his gravestone.]

Mabel looks so beautiful!! 💗💓💞💕

Thank you for another year of VLOGMAS!

Awwww, what a special video! Sweet Mabel, so beautiful! I thought she might start jumping up on your counter now! 🙂 So fun to see the different gifts, glad this has worked out together again this year. The photo frame, needs a photo of Bubba!!!

I love Abby and miss her this year, this unboxing was great! I legit may fly out from Texas to see her

I absolutely love thoughtful and intentional gifts. It makes them so much more special

Martha!👀

I visited Breathe at Home a couple of summers ago on vacation, based on your recommendation. Love their store! The store is beautiful and so uniquely curated. Abby and her Mom were so kind to me!

I am so glad vlogmas has started🎉

I love Abby! I always enjoy your previous videos with her. Maybel is so posh!!!

Christopher you look like 10 years younger lately - must be all the positive stuff since your move!!

Mabel does look gorgeous! xo~linda

My word for 2025 is Growth..

I listened to the album when Christmas comes again. It was nice sleigh ride and Blessed were m😮 favorite.

If I was Martha I would love my perch in the tree too

Found her 😊😊 I love that you keep me engaged by finding Martha 😂

Day 5 Elf’s

Wow you actually have shown more than your face!!!

Merry Christmas, Christopher, from all of us at breathe at home!! Your support of our small business over the years has meant so much to us. It really wouldn't feel like the holidays at our store without checking in with you! So glad you love everything in the box -- Abby is so thoughtful and talented at gift giving. (She will probably blush a little when she reads this!) Watching your relationship with her is a reminder of how special small businesses can be -- there's an intention and a person behind everything you see in the store and knowing that can create connection and community. Who knew a friendship would come from a Vlogmas years ago?! Sending big hugs to you and your family!

Baby Jesus will allow a Dag Nabbit LOL

Love Abby and her store!!

I started to say you are lucky to have such a lovely, generous friend, but luck has nothing to do with it. You are able to make friends like this because of how special you are. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

I had no idea you started a new job. May I ask what you do? So enjoyed this video!🌲

Who thinks Abby looks like Drew Barrymore?

I love watching you and Steven, especially when you're talking about Marble. You guys are more of a luxury end buyer and Steven cracked me up when he said the pup cups are 50 cents too expensive!!!!😂😂😂😂😂. Keep it up my friends l fell on the floor laughing.

Please tell Steven I love him❤

Beautiful and thoughtful gifts from Abby......Happy Vlogmas Day 5 🎄

"They're too expensive." "Aren't they free?" "No, they're 50 cents." 😂

I loved seeing Abby! It's so fun to open presents you weren't expecting 🎉

Nice ad for her store. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ask Abby what color nail polish she is wearing , the number. It is very pretty and festive

Abby is such an amazing person and she did spoil you rotten didn’t she??

Will you drink the peppermint 😂bark martini? You mentioned yesterday you don’t like anything peppermint,

Mabel is a pumpkin. So stylish. What a thoughtful gift from your friend. 💕

I am so happy that you shared Abby again this year, would not be vlogmas without her and her incredible gift giving tips and recommendations. She is so special and I wish I lived near her store, the products she chooses are so special. Thank you, this made my day!

I love seeing Steven in the videos. Love Mable❤

Merveilleux !

❤🎉❤

I’ve really slacked on my writing career and need to get more done, so my word for 2025 is ‘Strive’.

What a beautiful and thoughtful gesture from Abby. It is such a blessing to have anyone in your life to think of you like this. <3 What a treat it was to have her in the video and explain the gifts, too.

I echo what you said about the specialness of your friendship with Abby and the distance being a testament to what you have with her. This video really got me in my feels because not all of us have friendships like this, but also just proves what a good human you are and how that attracts other good humans to enrich your life. Thank you for sharing this beautiful friendship with us.

This is not that kind of establishment, Ma’am”. 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So sweet ❤. Please show us the Mimosa cubes when you use them. PS Amalfi Coast…it’s phonetically 😊“A Mal fee” coast not…. “Al mof ee”. ❤

“This is not that kind of establishment Ma’am.” Your Steven is priceless! 😁

Yay! Starting my day with your video. You are crushing these uploads Christopher. 🙌

I spy little Martha in the kitchen- on the white planter lol but then again I am not wearing my glasses at the moment haha

So glad your back 😊 you are an inspiration. Love your content of whatever you put up, so relaxing to watch. What field of work do you do? My husband has anxiety and is progressing to move on to something else a little less stressful and casual he is 58 years old. Understand completely about having a second dog already when one of them pass over we didn’t when our Sophia passed, but now we have a little toy cavoodle Winnie and she like you say brings so much joy 😊 it’s unbelievable. Look forward to the next vlogmas. 😊😊
