I really understand why Charlie bought Lego's defender himself. 🤭 Lego's Holiday Main Street is on my Christmas wishlist. I'm 46.😄

[@dsmith9796]

I love that Charlie took so much time to thoughtfully purchase gifts for your nephews!!! Knowing your love for books, I'm surprised he didn't have a few books in that assortment of gifts. You guys are going to be wonderful parents sometime in the near future - I hope. Sending you wishes for a Merry Christmas, for your first Christmas as husband & wife - from SC.

[@giorgia6690]

Oh Josie what would my Christmas time be without your vlogmas? My life is just falling apart lately and watching your videos makes me dream for a better life. Love from Italy ❤

[@loislyons3724]

You are such a lucky girl, Josie! What a fantastic life you and Charlie have made for yourselves. Thanks for letting us follow along and be inspired.🙏💖

[@RNExplorer253]

I love how Charlie puts in so much thought into the details when he chooses gifts. Adding the massage and the gifts for the boys to entertain them as you all celebrate Christmas.❤

[@CD-mj1zs]

Thank you for such a wonderful Vlogmas. Your content is interesting, uplifting, so informative and also funny. I can’t tell you the number of rabbit holes I’ve gone down based on your topic/book recommendations. I know you believe strongly in manifestation, and while I agree that you radiate positivity and what you send out comes back to you…you put a lot of hard work into what you do and it shows in the quality of your content. I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season and a lovely new year ❤

[@nomusanzama]

This vlogmas has been such a delight to watch. Amazing content, Josie. 🎄🫶

[@valerieboileau8033]

Glad to hear that you enjoy doing vlogmas given that it seems to me like it is SO much work for you! :) Thanks for sharing and happy holidays to you and yours!

[@gillianjenkins3347]

Thankyou Josie for a lovely vlog once again and as we head towards Christmas then more to watch and love and keep. You and Charlie are such warm hearted people and a joy to watch. Your home now decorated for Christmas is amazing and as people arrive to spend Christmas with you both they will love it too. xxx

[@vitalityseeker6193]

Dearest Josie and Charlie, I can’t begin to tell you both how much I look forward to every VLOG of yours. You are simply the most precious people. I’m happy to know you enjoy creating your content as one Vlog a day seems like a demanding schedule. What a joy you are! ❤❤

[@lorrainewells3844]

How luxurious the Spa treatment looks. Loving all the gift ideas and the gifts for the boys are fabulous. Thank you for sharing everything. ❤

[@abundantlyinspired]

I adore all the thoughtful retro toys Charlie selected!!! ☺️🙌🏻🙌🏻I always tried to buy my son thoughtful retro gifts when he was little and he truly played with them!! ❤Homemade slime, silly putty and play doh were also favorites.

[@dianebird9761]

Lovely vlog, Josie . Love Charlie's gifts for the boys. I brought a lot of those gifts for my son for his stocking ❤

[@carolynmanners7838]

Josie, I loved seeing all the things Charlie choose for your nephews, especially the stocking stuffers. These are the little gifts I am always after and his choices were marvellous. Please, please make this an annual part of your Vlogmas, it is important!

[@seenbyluna]

It's the way that I'm checking the clock before you upload to see if it's already time for a new vlogmas haha, enjoying this so much!

[@beverleyroberts1025]

[@carolpeace9442]

Your vlogs have just been what the Dr. ordered. Rest and relaxation when not doing my painful P.T. for my total knee replacement. You feature everything that I love fashion, beauty, home decor and yummy food (Mac and cheese) 😊 You and Charlie have created such a beautiful lifestyle for yourselves. Happy holidays 🎄 and God bless ❤

[@beckyorton8312]

0hhI love all the gifts Charlie chose brings back so many memories from being a kid and so thoughtful.

[@marladell6091]

California Here!! Because of you, Josie, I visited Thyme this summer. It was everything you say it was. I absolutely loved it!!!

[@hithere7282]

Loved the idea of building a lego defender. ❤great gifts for you and the children . Very lucky . Good thinking Charlie 😊

[@annettestrahan8366]

I’m early today!😊 the good thing to missing two vlogs is that I get to binge watch today!❤

[@helenstella2666]

I secretly think Charlie has all those toys & gadgets on his Christmas wish list .. 😏🎅🎄

[@jennifer6833]

Thank you for Vlogmas Josie. It warms my too see all of your hard work come to fruition and we get too be a part of it from a distance. ❤🎄❄️⛄️🎅🏻🤶🏻 I bought myself a Lego Defender too Charlie, it’s a good hobby. My daughter isn’t a fan of Lego.

[@roisinmcbride_]

Charlie has seriously inspired me with some gifts for my nephew! Thank you!!

[@csr3282]

Don't worry Charlie, my son is 28 and still loves getting Lego for Christmas. Good selection of toys for problem solving and fun. Best Uncle and Aunty.

[@Pocketfullofpebbles.]

Love the retro stoking fillers, remember some of those from the 70’s and 80’s.

[@lynnie9444]

I remember you having a cold over Christmas a couple of years ago Josie, so here's hoping that you are over it before Christmas this year.

[@bengtsson0019]

Charlie and Josie will make the most fabulous parents ones day. I just see a little boy and girl around the fire place. You guys always bring more than any other influences do to the table, and you cannot knock these guys for working there backsides off to accomplish this. And Charlie I agree ‘ we cannot say anything these days’ .. which is utterly ridiculous, but the sad times we live in that we get crucified for saying something unintentionally out of term !!!!!!

[@tonyahoward8861]

Love to see you buy real toys for kids that fabulous ❤

[@tinacarrol6702]

[@juliehumphrey4857]

I love that Charlie has taken the time to pick Christmas sock gifts, when I was small my Mum and Dad would give us new coins for the next year to keep and now I have a wonderful collection of coins that I can remember them by and why not buy yourself a Lego take care 🙏🏻❤️🎄

[@Vickiboe592]

Lovely Josie and Charlie 💕

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

[@5usiewongs489]

You can still buy those planes in some cheap shops here in Australia:) Both of my boys loved them, and my partner and I loved them as kids too. Those gifts are awesome, Charlie.

[@wendynicholls6231]

Very lovely vlog Josie and Charlie! O homie xxxxxx

[@KoriEmerson]

We get the same type of toys for our kids. Rather... we did. 19 and 17 now. And Josie sweet heart, if you can get 2 Dior scarves/ shawls... Charlie surely can have a Lego defender.

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

Great vlog loved it😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@rkp5137]

Its good to see you and Charlie taking the time to pamper yourselves. You do so much for others. Another great Vlogmas!

[@Pocketfullofpebbles.]

LEGO DEFENDER!! I’m 52f, I’d love one of those for Christmas, lucky Charlie.

[@susanojohnson6445]

When I first learned about forming a new habit... 21 Days is what I was taught😊

[@christas7417]

This is for Charlie: my cousin & her family fell in love with Defenders when they were stationed in the UK a couple of years ago. I told her about your Lego defender set, as her boys love legos. She knew all about them (I guess there’s more than one?) and sent me a pic of their own Lego defender that made the trip from Mildenhall all the way back to Alabama. They also brought back their own actual Defender that they purchased while they were there. ❤. Merry Christmas to you and Josie both!

[@smarinova1]

I love her vlogs, they teach me about elegant living and cheer me up. I'm so curious what Charlie does as a job?

[@lesleyrowdon9829]

Charlie you’ll become a David Beckham with the Lego ❤😂

[@esthervanderbrugge2253]

Hi Josie, loving this years vlogmas. Are you planning on going ice skating with Freddy this year? ❤

[@Marijana0001]

Yes, every child wants to receive PJ and wooden toys on Christmas.

Have you guys seen the Toylander? It’s a toy Series 1, 2, 3 or 90 Land Rover. My son made a version with his dad when he was small that was bespoke rather than buying a Toylander kit, but you can even buy a ready made one if you aren’t into engineering. They are big enough to ride in and are awesome!

[@paulawynne6420]

Your such a natural beauty and could never look weird! Well, maybe just a little bit on your recent train ride home. 🥱

[@janejdough2230]

Thank you from Canada

[@abbiemaylor3583]

Ah cute watching what Charlie brought. I’ve got 2 8 year old boys and a 2 year old. Little sticking fillers are great! The robo alive ones are alright actually as we have the lizard and my children can literally demolish anything and it’s still going. Unfortunately however un plastic you want to be when it comes to kids they’ll ask for that sort of thing. My boys have asked for a new scooter, the other a paddleboard and the little one a scooter and tool station.

[@HaleyCairo]

So random but where are Charlie’s pj’s from in the Christmas wrapping clip?!

[@elizabetheastman]

I’ve heard it’s 21 days to make a habit and 30-45 days to break it 😊 not sure if that’s accurate but it would explain how natural vlogmas becomes ❤

[@dawnanngallagher8495]

I was hoping you would purchase the sheep chair. If the sheep chair, was it a chair and not just a decorative sheep, I would want one despite not needing one. Hoping that the cold and sniffles goes away. It is hard to sleep with a stuffy nose. I I am still wearing a mask to stores and physical therapy. No cold in 3 years. Cheers!

Ah Josie, the bath outside after the treatments with the hot drink and fire, that's my kinda self care ❤ 'I bought myself a Lego defender to build at Christmas' Good on you Cha, that's another form of self care. Building Lego is so relaxing ❤️ I love the vlogs Josie, Happy Christmas and thank you for all the fun ❤

[@sallyannc3176]

I found Josie's reaction to that a bit hypocritical when she treated herself to a very expensive pair of shoes!

[@SunshineBloom777]

Lol I thought you were saying you were having your pastor / evangelist over for dinner not a pasta dish 😂😂😂 3:48

[@katharinepilch3370]

Josie... Please, please, please stop apologising for and justifying the way you look all the time. This is real life when you're vlogging. You are beautiful inside and out, whether you have your hair and makeup done or not. Really loving vlogmas this year! 🎄🎅
