An *unfiltered* day putting up my Christmas tree. Vlogmas Day 3.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Happy Sunday everyone! ☕ It's great to see you again for day three of Vlogmas. It’s a gloomy, rainy day in NYC today but it makes for the perfect cozy atmosphere in my opinion. Pour yourself a coffee or tea and join me :) Tomorrow will be a little more adventurous, can’t wait for you to see. Let me know what you think of the tree!🎄(Did all that just rhyme??) Much love xx

[@e.k.1836]

I love seeing you everyday! ❤ it is making my Christmas this year.

[@lindseybsmith]

Seeing a video from you everyday makes me happy, Chelsea! I don't feel so alone. ❤ merry christmas ❤

[@Hamsterlion85D]

Ohh! My cats love trees! They love to destroy them. Lol 😂

[@CPhoto1111]

The space between the floor and the stand seems too wide making the tree taller.

[@TerrieFitzpatrick-dh8is]

You're a poet and didn't know it!! Lol. Pretty tree! I live in central NY. It's rainy here too. Have had a cold for a week and still feel yucky today. Watching your video brightened my mood! Thank you! See you tomorrow. 🎅🤶🎄

[@morningmusumae]

Whoa that is a big tree! 😮But Chelsea, you gotta separate the individual stems on each branch to make your tree more FLOOFY!! 🎄

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Brb going to floof!!

[@laurencountry2]

Haha I was scrolling to see if someone else said that

[@Melanie_T]

And i think the branches at the bottom have to be more downwards 😊

[@ivaaz9894]

I was watching and waiting if she is going to seperate rhem properly or is she really leaving it like that😂😂 thank god she saw the comment🤞🏽😁

[@CarolJoyable]

I kept waiting for her to separate all the branches too! Pull the bottom branches downward (like a living tree) 🌲 and fix the gap between the very top and middle segments. Guess we are all type A’s!

[@missytyrrell1]

I'm a 52 year old PhD student from north east England, and have no plans to visit NYC, but I am fully invested in your vlogs. Love 'em. 😊

[@tjp7342]

Yay to 50-something listeners! (Er, that would be me as well….)

[@stephb3321]

Me, too! I’m 57 next week! Living my younger self vicariously through Ms. Chelsea. 😊

[@nicjennings7171]

I'm 52 also. I'm Scottish, I want to live in NYC! I'm obsessed, lol. I love Chelsea's videos ❤

[@memoirsfrommiddleschool9938]

FLUFF THE TREE, CHELS!! 😆❤️ It’ll look even better when you separate the branches. Love Vlogmas!!

[@LaurettaJanine]

It’s never too much Chelsea! You’re so sweet, down to earth, and just relatable. I’ve loved watching your life journey over the last year. You seem SO HAPPY now!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Much love 💓

[@justauryon]

Nothing like waking up Sunday morning & watching a vlog! Totally not sick of these yet - it’s like hanging with a friend in the AM with a cup o’ joe. ☕️

[@ChelseaCallahan]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sunshinenyc007]

Exactly how I feel 💕

[@studyofme]

Yes! Exactly haha.

[@bg4945]

Quick tip: you should push down the bottom layer of your tree - they shift down so the bottom branches down angle upwards :)

[@magargz]

Hi! as a silent watcher I want to share a few things, Your videos are truly calming and I watch them when I have to do chores around the house, brush my teeth or doing my graduation project for uni (as right now haha) You make me feel in company while doing all this things that are kinda hard for me to do. Thank you for helping me to be productive and sharing your bubble with all of us

[@ChelseaCallahan]

💝💝💝

[@ruthiepeppy-ham]

Hi! I am a silent watcher bc I watch on my TV and forget I can comment on my phone lol so HI! I am loving Vlogmas. I lived in NYC in my mid-late 20s by myself (I’m 41 now). I’ve been missing New York City and I love watching your videos for a taste of what it was like living there. Thanks for sharing your life with us! Rooting for your apartment makeover! Loving the new bedroom so far. Good idea moving it over. There are no rules do whatever makes your space work for you.

[@ChelseaCallahan]

❤️❤️

[@Jmelizabeth]

I am enjoying these unfiltered little vlogs. It's nice to feel connected to someone even if they are hundreds of miles away.

[@karenscott7465]

Thanks for letting me hang out with y'all this rainy Sunday. Merry Holidays everyone.

[@MonicaAdrianna]

The tree came out beautiful~ You can always stock up on ornaments and more christmas decor right after christmas when everything goes on sale xoxo

[@ChelseaCallahan]

🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️good idea haha

[@TudorCityGrrrl]

Candy canes are cheap “ornaments” and you can eat them 😊

[@isabwb]

I get anxious every time Chelsea posts a video. I need to see the evolution of the new apartment 😩🥹🫶🏻

[@jenniferevelynhayes]

We’re so happy that you share your cozy NYC bubble with us; thank you. Enjoy that gorgeous tree! 🎄❤️🎄

[@arianas4793]

Silent viewer here :) I have just moved from a flatshare to my own apartment and am finally living alone for the first time at 27! Even though its super exciting, I am also feeling very overwhelmed trying to get the apartment together while also having an extremely busy time at work (and stressing about money, rent is soo expensive). But, seeing your videos makes me remember how exiting this moment is in my life, and motivates me to actually make my new place a home, so thank you!

[@moda78z]

It was fun hanging out, Chelsea❤️. See you tomorrow! 🌲🎄🌲

[@nicknacks7824]

Chelsea! I got the same tree as you, you have to pull down the branches and "fluff" them by pulling the branches out. Very pretty tree ❤ looks great with the fluffy rug.

[@deedeelong9043]

Appreciate the quiet and positive vibes as I suffer through cramps too. Me and my heating pad are having a nice time!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

feel better soon 💘

[@tantkarin]

The "you don't have to do everything at the same time" mentality is something I try to practise everyday. I used to be that type of person who wanted to complete all tasks before resting, but I always just ended up not having no time time to sit back and just relax. Nowadays I take things slowly instead, and try to remember that there's always a tomorrow. Love the vlogmas, and I really enjoy following your progress!

[@hayesschneeweis]

Girl you’re glowing. Your overall demeanor is so so so good. So glad you decided to quit your job and take the leap. So worth it

[@pip-h]

Our lives are quite different, yet still so similar. I am married and stay at home in the very center of a major city with my toddler while my husband works a job that only has him home about 7 days of the month. Most of the time, I am having to tackle all of these things on my own just like you. I also recently shut down my business because working while 'single' parenting was running me ragged. So, like you, I have found some extra time now to finally get some projects done. Seeing you persevere and accomplish things helps to motivate me to take on more than I think I can handle. And you being a major city dweller, I can relate far easier than with other creators in their suburbs or smaller towns/cities. Thanks for your content!

[@juliecarlson2778]

Love the cozy vibes in this vlog. ❤️ I’m also a 30-something in a transitional period in my life and living alone (for the first time). Your videos are getting me excited about this next phase and how great living solo can be - thanks Chelsea!

[@mariedydrftghuikolpo3147]

I started watching your videos earlier this year and they really help me to calm down after a tough day. I would call your channel a safe space and I am more than happy that you started the vlogmas project. Thank you for being just you. Greetings from Germany.

[@juliadevine5460]

I loved the comment at the end that talks about feeling at peace in ur space. That means you made a good choice. I think this vlog format is ur strong suit. We feel like we’re sitting on the rug, drinking cocoa with you. Keep up the great work❤

[@sax_25]

You seem so much happier and I’m glad about that. Life can be stressful and we have to find the joy every single day! I’m glad you’re finding yours! Cheers from Florida!

[@happycaptiveofbooks]

I LOVE that T-shirt!!! I also love cinnamon, yum. I was just talking to someone at work yesterday (library) about how i need to make myself a priority and put up a tree even though its just me. Thanks for the motivation!!

[@ayabouajila4262]

Chelsea you exude such a beautiful and hopeful energy, you really are helping me get through the tough days. I hope you know how greatly appreciated you are!

[@paulascorner]

I was thinking how you were worried you'll stop being relatable to people after quitting your adult job, but it's the opossite for me lol, I've been thinking of quitting my normal job bc I wanna have more time and do my things (I'm a dancer and a tattoo artist and I just dont' have time), so i need all the reasurance of other adults doing their best and enjoying life. So thank you, you are truly inspiring and im so happy i found you a couple months ago

[@Roxycharms]

Great advice "it doesn't have to be all done in a day" yep takes me a week to put and a couple of days to take it down, and I always forget something. The moments you can enjoy the process are the best moments. Loving vlogmas!

[@amazingtalent12]

It's so great to see a normal person living life and figuring things out. It's nice to know I'm not alone in trying to manage a adulthood

[@beckibunch709]

Love the ambience of your Christmas tree and “fireplace”! ❤🎄

[@le-keishag.5389]

The key w that hot choc is making it on the stove. Warm some water add your creamer (2 splashss) let it come togther. Pour over cocoa power (whisk it in) and add your splash of peppermint at the end. It was a game changer for me!!

[@MsCgagne]

I have those moments too; of appreciation for your little corner of the world that is all yours. No matter how crappy a day I have, I can come home to my cozy little nook and cuddle my dog.

[@brendathompson4939]

I just love your little space in NY, but most importantly, I love what a thankful heart that you have!

[@foo9877]

This video unlocked a core memory for me. Reminds me of Christmas in my childhood. Thanks for sharing this moment in your life with us

[@chevonne757]

Decorating for Christmas definitely can be done over time! I have been slowly getting things done for almost a month already. We put the tree up early to see if our puppy would bother it, and she hasn't, so that's good! Eventually it will be done - Christmas isn't just one day - it's all month! I love your videos, they make me think back to the 80s when I went to school, and worked in the city, commuting from Long Island. Once we started our family - I rarely made it into the city, but now that my kids are all grown, my daughter and I try to get into the city now and then. The only difference now is that I'm much older, and all of that walking knocks me out! We went to Bryant Park in early November and had a great day just wandering around, eating, and enjoying the start of the holiday season! Thank you for sharing some of your life with us! 🗽🎄

[@HotPenny82]

We love it. I was just thinking how nice it is to have something you enjoy daily. Thank you for the joy. Thank YOU Chelsea❤️.

[@_deyvis_]

I just want Chels Chels to think that we all were there putting the Christmas tree too! 👉🏻👈🏻🥹

[@AshleyChiassonID]

I find all of our videos very comforting, so am stoked on seeing more Chelsea this month :)

[@NiNa-rt8xd]

Your channel is becoming my go to channel when I want to watch some videos... I've been re-watching your older videos this weekend ☺️

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Awe I love this thank you 🥹

[@emilycurtin5802]

I'm so happy to see how happy you are/how much of a blessing taking time off of worked has proven to be for you!

[@laceywall2596]

im also in the process of applying to grad school!! your videos give me a much needed break from the stress... thank you

[@hlt8770]

Chelsea, I'd watch you EVERY day. Thanks for helping to make Christmas merry and bright.

[@Welcome2Russellville]

Not sick of seeing you everyday! I love watching unfiltered Chelsea!

[@savannahhill7384]

As someone who has recently moved to a new city, your videos have really made me feel less alone and helped me remember to savor the little moments. Thank you ❤️

[@hipsmelissa]

This reminds me so much of my and my husband’s first apartment together with our kids 11 years ago! The first thing I did, because it was early December, was put up our brand new Xmas tree and get it all decorated. It was in the living room and we were also waiting for our sofas to be delivered. They did not get delivered until mid January! We put our bed in the living room for that period of time and that Christmas morning was the best we’ve ever had 😊

[@heyitslizzy2432]

I don’t usually comment! But I found your channel back the August and have really enjoyed them! 🥰

[@VLS13]

Hi! I am not one to ever leave comments on anyone’s channel, I usually just enjoy in silence, but I just want to let you know that I absolutely love your intro with the beautiful New York rat and pigeon. And I truly love to watch your realistic life videos. Happy holidays! 🎄

[@ChelseaCallahan]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Singlemombalance]

Love seeing you EVERYDAY!!! Can’t wait for the rest of vlogmas. Also you have motivated me to appreciate my current era/season and embrace all the blessing I have!!

[@LindsAndPhoebs]

Thank you for showing the experience of doing Christmasy things living alone, and still having a good time. Appreciate you 🎄

[@lisab1917]

I’m loving seeing you everyday you make a difference on a dark snowy uk day by just being you! Will miss you when vlogmas over but loving the extra videos we get now you’re not at the office job. I feel blessed to have your channel in my life xx

[@lindsayodonnell5759]

These videos def help with the loneliness the holidays sometimes brings ♥️ thank you for these vlogmas vids!!

[@matryoshka_doll_]

It's great to see you everyday Chelsea! There is something I can look forward to & it takes my mind off exam season (30 something uni student here)

[@noelineeves9064]

You remind me so much of my sister who was always busy doing something around her house when we visited but read books all day long otherwise when left because her motivation left when we did - she was a great teacher and we loved her she made us smile as you do to us Noeline - Perth West Australia Merry Christmas to you

[@dianaray1470]

Chelsea, it took me three Christmas’s to get my tree completely the way I wanted it as well as decorations. When I finally left my relationship I felt at peace in my own little place too. I’ve never looked back or never felt happier. It took a minute so give yourself grace. Big love to ya girl ❤️

[@Graciemaeinpa]

I moved to a different state, so I don't know many people here yet. Your videos are very grounding and how you are just living your life out loud. I really enjoy all your videos. They are so relatable. Hi from south- central Pennsylvania 😊🕊🦋🌻

[@dbunn1049]

Add a little of your creamer to the hot chocolate for a smoother, more rich flavor. Love the tree and tv fireplace!

[@mandeliongardens]

Girl, that 20 minutes before the period pain meds kick in…!! Love the tree and loving vlogmas!

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

I know - totally felt it!

[@andy-nicholson]

This was as cozy and warm as ever. And what do you know - I bought a Christmas tree today, and I got inspired to buy more decorations for it after watching your vid! Thanks, Chelsea!

[@DancingKitkat13]

Girl I love seeing you every day your like a big sister u never had ❤

[@shess1640]

beautiful tree. I'm also in NYC! Praying for snow this year! So glad you put up this gorgeous tree in your new home : )

[@hovey17]

my favorite part of the tree decorating was the lights reflecting in your glasses. so twinkly!!

[@christianehoran1600]

Love seeing you every day. So much fun coming along while you set up your new apartment. You inspire me! None of it is boring at all. Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!

[@itsanniexx]

I'm really enjoying these daily vlogs, Chelsea! It's something to look forward to every day and a great distraction from the very busy time in December. Thank you for sharing your life with us.✨🎄🤍

[@hopedalrymple1886]

Since you made the goal to finish your apartment by the end of vlogmas, I’m making the goal to finish my twins’ nursery in that time! So we will be building and painting and hanging all the things together, girlfriend!!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Love this!!!

[@olbird7647]

And I will join you by putting my little 2 up 2 down house back together following a complete kitchen refurb that's meant everything from it, including appliances, has been spread and stuffed everywhere else. A bit overwhelming tbh but I'll get there with you 🤞☺

[@graceharrell10]

ah drinking my coffee, snuggling with my stuffed animal and watching Chelsea. What a perfect day

[@stephb3321]

Keep the box the tree came in and store the tree in there. Looks like you should be able bunch the branches up, maybe ziptie them together. Beautiful tree.

[@micahsnow346]

Chelsea you should just a Christmas party and have every friend bring one ornament! That way you can decorate the tree together!

[@jaquixo665]

I haven't had a tree in years but this makes me want to get one just for myself 😊

[@gailm1122]

So cozy at the end sitting on your rug with the tree and the fireplace, sippin hot cocoa.

[@melissaartistry6041]

I can relate to enjoying your own peaceful space. I love coming home every night from the day job to my furry little void 🐈‍⬛ and creative haven knowing I am safe and can be truly myself. Everything will come together for you in your new home, no need to rush it. Enjoy every moment and thank you for sharing it all with us! ❤ See you tomorrow 😊

I have a three monthly cleaning weekend, where I clean my whole bedsit apartment over the space of a weekend, and I just finished that in time for Christmas, so now I can chill and watch all of your Vlogmas videos, so cool.

[@hollyhaugen6495]

Most pre lit trees have a little controller at the base to change the lights from white to coloured! I enjoy your videos, apartment is looking awesome. 🇨🇦

Fluff the branches!! It looks like they haven't been fluffed! Still enchanting. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

[@ignitehvl9307]

I’ve been thinking about something you said on your job change reveal video. You said, “The world does not need more influencers.” Chelsea, the world needs influencers like YOU. Your gentle spirit, humility, and authenticity help give me (and hopefully others) to be myself no matter the circumstance. Thanks for all you! ❤ ~Kelli

[@ChelseaCallahan]

This means a lot ❤️

[@chicky_girl1]

I'm getting ready to set up my tree today and this video helped get me in the spirit 🎄

[@talkingforum]

I love that you did not floof the tree - no need really 😊 just enjoy the lights, simple ornaments, fake fire and at-home hot chocolate ahhh -- I'm here for this kind of realistic, embrace-the-small-moments vibe. Thanks.🌲

[@audreybertin]

I look forward to these videos every day now!! Such good vibes, especially on a rainy Sunday like today. It feels like hanging with a good friend 😊

[@sandraskalnik2369]

French vanilla creamer is a good one for a touch of sweetness. If you have trouble storing the tree, try separating it into two smaller boxes. A little tip, when you don’t have milk for your hot chocolate, use water and add some coffee creamer.

[@allison_diehl]

This was PERFECT timing, I just finished your video from yesterday and then this popped up! I’m really enjoying having you be part of my mornings! ❤

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I love to hear that, thanks for watching!! ❤️

[@margaritadiaz3779]

Hi, Chelsea! I am happy to say that the new you makes me happy. That tree is going to be a show-stopper just because it's being decorated with love.❤❤❤

[@claudialeger3208]

It’s always fun to shop after Christmas for new ornaments, garland etc. get some pine scented room spray and. Enjoy the season. And fluff those limbs-it will fill out the tree.

[@alexissilverman1220]

I set up my first christmas tree in my apartment while watching this! I also live alone and spend a lot of the time alone. I find your videos very comforting that I’m actually not alone and I’m in an okay place in life, thank you ❤

[@RobinRose22]

I love getting to see you everyday! I also love the unedited videos. It makes you seem even more relatable. I totally understand how you feel with trying to get your apartment together. I moved into a new house about 6 months ago and I've still got unpacked boxes shoved into closets and so many half done little projects. It can get super overwhelming but you inspired me to get up and start tackling some things today so thank you!!!

We just put up our tree I love trees that are professionally decorated with colour themes etc but nothing beats our tree with all the baubles from our travels and the handmade ones … each bauble is so special because it holds a memory
