So rare to find such a warm hearted beautiful Soul!!!on the Internet!

I'm crying so much that beautiful people still exist!❤❤😊

Speaking of forgotten ingredients, the first time I made a pie, I forgot the sugar! I tried to save it by sprinkling sugar over it at the end, but there was no saving that pie. 😆

[@luxiolagonzalez124]

Dear friend, your videos make me feel as if I was actually sitting in your kitchen, chatting while you cook. Your videos transmite so much closeness that you feel as a real friend.❤

[@rebeccayoung6505]

The music that begins each of your videos creates a feeling of peace and goodness. Thank you!

[@bgrecoverycoaching2536]

I love the music too

[@m.l.minter3447]

Agreed never change the music, it’s your signature like a old show from childhood!

My wife and I thank you and your production team for delighting us with this truly wonderful video 👏👏👏 We wish you, Mr. Fox and the rest of your family a very Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎁

[@happyjud]

I always enjoy all your videos Kevin. Thankyou for taking the time and everything else required to make them. Wishing you Mr. Fox & family a Merry Christmas and healthy New Year. Coming from Innisfil, Ontario, Canada. 🎄

[@AnthropoidOne]

How do you keep from getting hammered daily with all that booze in your house?

[@debrabalcom4597]

Hi Kevin I came upon your channel today and was truly delighted I watched three videos before I even had my morning coffee. I will be making some of your recipes. Thanks for your beautiful videos. Deborah from Arkansas

[@cyberninja76a]

I like the idea of the wall mirrow reflecting the fireplace, its perfect

[@lizcaporicci8483]

You have inspired me, Kevin. Everything is so elegant. It can be accomplished. Let's be examples to our children.

[@edieohoxoxo932]

First of all may I say that I really enjoy the fact that you maintain integrity on your videos. It's so nice to see that once in a while you may forget an ingredient or something may not go as perfectly as planned but you leave it in without editing it out of the video we see. We home cooks appreciate that! May I also request a lovely Christmas tune on your piano for your audience to enjoy. You play so lovely, I think we'd all love to hear a song or two! Thank you for a wonderful years' worth of entertainment. Merry Christmas blessings to you, your family and co-workers. God Bless us everyone...xoxo

[@stephenburns3678]

Your humility is infectious when you owned up to forgetting the vanilla extract. The videographer did a great job capturing the powdered sugar drifting down into the bowl. Thank you for your good wishes and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@nikkil764]

Lovely. Isn’t amazing how everything tastes better when served from a tiered stand. Your lifestyle reminds me of the residents of the amazing Choctaw Hall in Natchez, Ms. Lee and David have also mastered the art of elegant living.

[@mrob75]

Almost Christmas and Kevin still takes the time to provide a special visit with him…Such a relaxing afternoon before the big holiday! Thank you, Kevin!

[@vintagegal541]

My cat, Lily, is always interested what I'm eating. She makes me smile every day. I'm moving in a few weeks to a unit that has a better kitchen. I'm hoping to start cooking more from meals from scratch and use some of your recipes. Thanks Kevin for your time and efforts in your videos and to Lizeth for filming. I always enjoy them so much! A safe, healthy and very Merry Christmas and New Year to all of you!!

[@HuHWhat-yi8cp]

I had a beautiful big orange cat named Mush! He would appear at my elbow in the kitchen - he was quite the chef! Very interested in spices & snacking/testing.😸❤

[@brenda9513]

Thank you, Kevin, for inviting me to your elegant but simple tea. Enjoyed. Merry Christmas and healthy New Year.

[@outikoskela4146]

Love when Avery and Goldie show up❤ And your bakings are fantastic, as usual!

[@rachelvega1843]

My husband thanks you for enticing me to cook scrumptious meals. No one has been able to entice me to cook until you. You somehow make it fun and easy.

[@rebeccayoung6505]

Merry Christmas to you and Mr. Fox. So many of us turn to you for sense and sensibility day after day. All best wishes for you this New Year and may your spirit of goodness and kindness drift somehow into this world of war and hatred.

[@brendatreants196]

Kevin, let me blow some smoke up your jumper just a minute before we enjoy our afternoon tea. You sir, you and your program, are such a delight to view! Merriest of holiday cheer to you and yours. Seeing your animal best friends joining you and The Sliver Fox for this afternoon tea was most enjoyable😅as well. BjT from NC

[@MrNigara]

That house is a little Paradise, epicuretically and elegantly officiated by the Prince of All Pleasures and Smiles: Mr. Jacobs! Merry Christmas Kevin and have a great time!

Have a very merry Christmas. In Italy you can get rotisserie chicken in all the markets and supermarkets. But they are not always very good. Thank you for a delicious teatime. 🥰

[@mavep2855]

Thank you Kevin for this delightful Christmas afternoon tea. Due to illness we have had to postpone our celebrations for a week. Fortunately we are all adults and will cope with the circumstances. Merry Christmas to you, Mr Fox, Lizette, Avery, Binky and Goldie.🎄🙏❤️

Dear Kevin I’m in hospital since 5 days (my birthday included) Since then I can’t talk anymore and can’t move half side of my body. You are my Xmas and I want to thank you for all the wonderful videos. Greetings from Germany and Bulgaria ❤

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Be strong -- all of us here are wishing you a speedy recovery!

Better late than never when we forget momentarily. I never tire of your entertaining videos, especially the holiday ones. Here’s wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas.

[@ginawingrove7061]

Great to see you again Kevin, and yes, we can get rotisserie chicken from some of our supermarkets here 😁 A beautiful, elegant afternoon tea that's perfect for the time of year. What a treat. 🌼

[@karenlukas1222]

Thank you, Kevin, for yet another wonderful time in your kitchen. I will be making the eggnog scones on Christmas morning! Your previous tea videos inspired me to host a holiday tea this year with several different tea sandwiches, orange/cranberry scones and an assortment of 6 different Christmas cookies and I served the fabulous Darjeeling tea from Tierra Farms. It was a sensational hit. I wish you and Mr. Fox and your fur babies the most wonderful holiday season. Blessings.

[@theposhmaniac5169]

You were a very nice surprise in my lineup tonight! New subscriber now! Thank you for a lovely time. I appreciate your calm, fun cooking w/ the delicious looking results. Your recipes are clear & you're a delight! Lovely settings in a beautiful home. Merry Christmas!

What a lovely Christmas present - a special tea in your beautiful home. Thank you, Kevin, for all of the work you put into your videos to make them special for us. Please know how appreciated you are. Your videos are a wonderful, quiet little oasis in a crazy, busy world.

[@fridayschild19]

You have no idea how appreciated your wonderful videos have been this holiday season! May you, Mr. Fox, Avery, Binky, Goldie, and Lizette all have a blessed, healthy, and happy holiday season and New Year! ❤

What a lovely tea in such a beautiful setting. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@carolavant3778]

Happy Christmas, Kevin, to you and Mr. Fox! Thank you for the lovely Christmas tea and for sharing the recipes and your beautiful home, too!

[@gabindalin7914]

Kevin, this was just what I needed! I also loved seeing your bring out the pastry cloth - some years back when you spoke of how helpful it was, I put it on my "wish" list, and received it as a Christmas present. It makes life so much easier! Thank you for all the years of blog posts and videos, and a very Merry Christmas to you, Mr.Fox, and your assorted menagerie.

[@cecilelemoine7827]

Thank you for including the links to each of these recipes. So much easier than trying to take a screenshot of the wonderful recipes that you make. I enjoy your channel very much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@bgrecoverycoaching2536]

Hi Kevin, Thank you for bringing us such beautiful content. I love how you are - a lovely man with such a calm and sweet demeanor. You bring me so much pleasure and I will be baking some of your cookies next week at home. ❤

Can’t wait to try the scones…I love Avery…so sweet. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🙏🎄❤️

Thank you Kevin for another great video and for inviting us into your home and kitchen.

[@Sandy-mx5fr]

Thank you for adding beauty to my days. Your videos are therapeutic. The fire reflecting in the mirror at the end is like a beautiful postcard. Merry Christmas to you and yours

[@adriaschumann9641]

Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Fox, Avery, Binky , Goldie, and of course, Lizette. You brighten all of our lives. Amazon should really appreciate you because I suspect that a great many of us rush to Amazon to buy the accouterment that you use in your recipes. I have so much I am now storing some not used all the time in the guest room closet! Oh my. Happy New Year and please more videos to share and enjoy. A special request: a few more gluten-free recipes because my daughter now has a serious issue with gluten. Thank you.

[@elaineteut9579]

Thank you Kevin for the sweet video. I am definitely going to try the chocolate cake. My Dad always loved a Turkey/cranberry sandwich the day after Thanksgiving. That was such a beautiful background for your tea, the blazing fire, the lovely tree and decor. Merry Christmas!

[@paulahawkins3786]

Your videos have really put me into a wonderful Christmas mood! I am making the scones and chicken and cranberry sandwiches this Christmas Eve!

[@mifasola1]

Kevin you're the best. Yes occasionally I DO forget an ingredient. Lol. I love that 3 tiered tray. I made this morning a whipped cream pound cake from a recipe off the Swans cake box. OMG it is so good you are speechless when you taste it. Merry Christmas to you and the whole gang!

[@sunset6010]

So festive ! Everything looks absolutely delicious ! Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅 🎁

[@lorieastside1]

Lovely Kevin! thank you and Merry Christmas to your whole family!!!

[@kathleencowley7772]

Dear Kevin, Happy Holidays to you and yours! Every recipe looks outstanding. I have tried the rotisserie chicken on a sandwich with mayo spread on one slice of bread, a pinch of salt, rotisserie chicken pieces on top. On the second slice spread peach jam or preserves. (I use Bonne Maman preserves). Place the peach jam slice atop the chicken. Serve. Heaven! Hope you like it. Jingle Bells! Edit: What is the name and brand of your tea set? My mom gave each of us girls a special tea cup for our tea. Mine looks just like that. Brings back so many memories! Thanks for the Christmas gift!

[@froxyroxy2089]

Wonderful afternoon Tea! Lovely ambience and such pleasant company. Merry Christmas, Kevin, to you and your husband.🎄🎅🕯

[@madelineryan7999]

I don’t know about the U.K. and I don’t live in either the U.K. or France but years ago when I was working in Paris, they had rotisserie chickens. They would move the rotisseries outside the shop so when you came up out of the metro after work in the evening, the aroma of chicken was the first thing that hit you. Smart move because they are oh so hard to resist.

[@maryjanepollock6622]

The Christmas tree looks so beautiful! Lovely selection of menu items for tea. I think that I will have to make the cranberry chicken sandwiches this week. I happen to have everything to make with on hand. The chocolate cake looks great, and not too complicated to make. Of course I love the eggnog scones. Perfect for a Christmas tea. Avery, and cats look very contented and happy, living their best life. Goldie looks so cute frolicking by the fireside. Fun! Your fireplace is quite inviting. Very Christmassy. I request some piano playing of holiday tunes. Maybe not in time for Christmas, but Christmas does last for twelve days, so maybe in next week's pre New Years eve video? Just a thought, as you are so talented at the piano, and do have those two beautiful pianos. Anyway, wishing you, Mr. Fox, Lisette, Avery, Binky, and Goldie a very Merry Christmas! Take care. See you next time.♥️🎄🎅🎀🐕🎁🐈🍬🐈‍⬛🎁

I never forget ingredients because this is what I do. As soon as I finish with an ingredient, I put it behind me on the counter so that I know I’ve already used it and when I reached the end whatever’s left over is what I have haven’t used yet.

I wish you and Mr. Fox a very happy Christmas and hope that it is filled with love and joy.

[@Outcast331]

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon tea - being in the kitchen with you preparing the recipes for the Christmas Afternoon Tea. Splendid, absolutely splendid. Loved hearing Avery drinking water and seeing your beautiful cat. In my neck of the woods, the seaside village of Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa, the best rotisserie chickens are to be had. Thank you dear Kevin Lee Jacobs - your videos are an inspiration always. Blessings of hope, love, peace, joy, beauty and good will to you and your loved ones.
