The video of the frost in the garden was so nice, made me want to cry with the music in the background. Felt home sick for UK!

[@SusanCharle]

Beautiful vlog. I loved the Trentham Christmas vlog. It reminded me of the coastal garden Christmas lights in my state of Maine in the USA. Thank you for showing such lovely scenery.

[@geraldinefay7058]

Elliott and Matt - I love your decorations. Tree is beautiful esp the new green baubles. I really enjoyed the garden centre. So lovely and festive.

[@MatthewGodwin-iz8hg]

Love your vlogmas series and the intro and outtro songs for the vlogmas are brilliant love them Matt and Elliot. Glad you are on the mend Elliot xx

[@pauladosch7062]

Loved your stain test, Elliot, and both of you modeling your new clothes. You guys crack me up! I look forward to your fun and fashion-conscious, cat-filled vlog every week.

[@WendyDonaldson-ld1jg]

Great video, both of you are so funny, always making me smile! Merry Christmas to both of you! Love the new music!! Well done Elliot!

[@ElliotNMatt]

Thanks so much!!

[@WendyDonaldson-ld1jg]

@ ❤️💕

[@deborahchilton5783]

❤❤absolutely love the frosted covered garden foliage with the beautiful musical accompaniment ❤❤ absolutely perfect. You look like you’re getting back on your feet after the recent hospital stay🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sheilahenderson5973]

I enjoy you putting your tree up every year, the first tree putting up I watched was your last year in your old home 🎄 ☃️ Love the song! 👏

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Cheers to a wonderful new year filled with Matt and Elliot🌟🌟🌟

[@rossandrachaelmcclelland550]

Thanks for sharing the xmas lights! Beautiful 🩷

[@leannesgarden823]

I love the new Christmas song and intro! And the new decorations for the tree are so beautiful! ❤🎄❤ The best Christmas vlog! The cats are amazing.

[@pattytramonto3103]

Funny "tea" story...several decades ago, we had the opportunity to host a little boy from Belfast Northern Ireland for the summer. He was so cute and my son and he grew to be fast friends, going everywhere together. He always used to ask me if it was "nearly tea" with the most adorable accent and this so confused me. I asked him if he wanted a cup of tea and he just sort of looked at me as if I had 2 heads. It took me a while to realize he was talking about dinner time. Wonderful memories! I am from upstate New York as you could probably guess.

[@kirstyevans5482]

Hey lovely boys, what beautiful places to visit, really gets u in the Christmas spirit, lights are gorgeous. Glad youre getting your sparkle bk Elliot tc and dont over do it. 🎅🎄🎅

[@annkarpinskireddog]

The night before Xmas all was aglo with Elliot and Matt out there in the snow

[@ElliotNMatt]

Oooh I should have thought of that one lol

[@mrobbins2777]

I LOVE you, Dear Boys! This was a fun and festive Vlogmas episode! Elliot, I realized that you were fully recovered when you tolerated the deep clean of the LR so well. Thank you for taking us along to the Xmas festival with dinner and those lovely light displays! You both were a hoot modeling your new outfits. Beau is so dear to watch in front of the tree. The ornament for Molly is a lovely tribute. Brilliant new E & M song! Truly, thank you for sharing your fun times with us. Hugs & Kisses, Mary from Maryland

[@larhumba4233]

Love the new song, and the other music in the vlog. Great trip to the Christmas fayre. 🎄🎁🎅🌟❄️☃️

[@ElliotNMatt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@carolynmccallum9009]

Love the new clothing! Bonus is the stain test! I’m so happy you’re not getting a perm or a wave. Unlike your new shirts, your scalp will absorb some harsh chemicals while it sets. I’m excited all your vlogmas!

[@azuregiant9258]

Your Christmas song is adorable, 😂. This is the kind of song I can imagine the Christmas elves playing when they’re hard at work in Santa’s workshop 🎄 It’s a shame about the perm. I also wanted a perm and was given the “you need to choose between hair dye or a perm” ultimatum. Oh well, your quiff in this video was spectacular and more than made up for it 🌊

[@deborahchilton5783]

Also thoroughly enjoyed all the Trentham Garden footage really magical and festive ❤, thank you 🙏 ❤

[@sarahjohnston6709]

Such a great vlog, thank you for sharing. It is like spending an hour with friends.😊

[@thinkathought]

Yay! House tours coming up.

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Good to see you both well and happy❤

Love your new clothes guys. You both look wonderful. Hope you are feeling much better Elliot.❤

[@lillianrussell8582]

Beautiful and festive Christmas decorations! Lovely! You guys a quite cute together and I want to wish the two of you a very Merry Christmas and bet wishes in 2025!! 🤗🤗

[@deniscarroll5135]

What a beautiful video the christmas lights fantastic both look well love to u both denis and chris❤

[@IlonaL-123]

Oops. I made a spelling error. It is so good that you and Matt are having fun!!

[@sandrastephenson9306]

Fab intro, I’m from ‘up north’ and it’s breakfast, dinner then tea. ❤

[@mimaroo1431]

Lovely vlog!! I'm with you Elliot about the fruit cake. The more fruit, the better 😋.

[@michellehughes1537]

Great vlog, Elliot you are looking well. Tree is fantastic 😊

[@bellaD7]

Was very entertaining watching you both modelling your new togs. I also have Xmas throws and cushion covers which are washed before storing away in bags in the loft. Even though they are washed, by Xmas they smell a little musty. This January when packed away, dryer sheets were put in amongst them, which appears to have kept them smelling almost freshly laundered. I shall be doing that every year from now on. Tree looks fabulous. 🎄 😊

[@ElliotNMatt]

Great idea!

[@LindaHouldsworth]

Hi Elliot and Matt thank you for making me smile and thanks for sharing your vlog 😊

[@duchessofst.andrew7210]

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Wow love the garden doing soo well elliot❤

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Yes I do too it's worth it when it's all done with a glass and merry music❤

[@jacquiemullett201]

Loved the Christmas intro and outro; it put a smile on my face.

[@Bernadette-nb2xw]

What a lovely relaxing video, love the Xmas tree, so glad that you are back…..

[@ElliotNMatt]

Thank you! 😊

[@susanfritsche8587]

I absolutely loved the Christmas Vlog, absolutely beautiful. I live in Houston and our weather is like Miami so we might see cold weather once a year on day a year and that’s normally late January or early February never snow, our heat in my opinion is worse than Miami. Absolutely love Matt’s choice I like the thicker bnglet too.

[@laurac8659]

We lived in Houston for over 25 years, so I hear ya! We moved to Colorado in 2023 ❄️❄️❄️🏔️🏔️🏔️💙 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@julieharlum-ewer5646]

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Love to Rory such an elegant fellow❤

[@alisonpriest5415]

We always have a big clean up before we put Christmas decorations up 😂.. Get a de-humidifier for the house if drying your washing in doors. It’s great for takin the moisture out of the air & the clothes dry quicker x

[@ElliotNMatt]

We have two upstairs only small ones but they work well x ❤️

[@laurac8659]

Love the intro! 🎄 we call the evening meal, supper 🍽️ Love the clothes ❤ We usually decorate after Thanksgiving, this year, Thanksgiving was late, so there is a shorter time before Christmas…I’m running late 🎅🏻🎁 If it works out and y’all have a child, they will decorate THEIR way 🤪🤣 so much fun though! Love your jewelry 🧡 Lovely shops! I love snow globes and villages! The video was awesome, thank you! 💚❤️💚❤️ Beautiful tree! Love from Colorado 🏔️❄️

[@johnandpaulstravels]

Deer Elliot and Matt I love your block. Elliot you look great . I loved your hair. Your Christmas tree looks beautiful. I love you guys . Love ❤️ your song.

[@juliadickenson178]

Just out of interest, I've been doing the yoghurt and fruit for a couple of years now. Sorta getting a bit bored with it so....Just changed it to overnight oats. 2 cups oats, 2 cups milk, 1 cup greek yoghurt, 1 dsp chia seeds, 1 dsp flax seeds (optional) 2 grated apples, cinnamon (if you like) half cup of sultanas, (oir blueberries or raspberries if you prefer) Scatter on a few nuts at the end if you like.Mix it all up and pop it in the fridge. Lasts a few days in the fridge, Delish.

[@colleens7641]

Sounds delicious. Do you use steel oats?

[@rhondao1]

🕺 Truffle twerking!! 😂 that made me giggle.

[@dionnevoller2903]

Don’t add more orange to the tree - it looks stunning as it is - very classic - not to crowded - add orange slices to the mantle greenery if you must - tree looks good as it is ❤

[@ElliotNMatt]

Well definitely make some and see how it goes but yes some on the garland would look great

[@leannesgarden823]

@@ElliotNMatt yes to trying the orange slices, they will look good. Why not?

[@darrenwilson7217]

It is lovely to see you clowning about again. You can see Matt so pleased about your high jinks as well. Take care of yourself, although such a healthy diet will help. Glad you are listening to your body and allowing yourself time to heal. I hope you haven't had any problems with thrush with so many antibiotics. Wendy

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Ooh boys🤭

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Hard work Elliot but worth it

[@sandygranger1573]

Matt! Where's mine? Looks yummy!

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Matt loves ❤

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Awwe beau🎉

[@elizalodge]

Hello Elliot, is it true that you've never seen the Golden Girls?

[@ElliotNMatt]

True! Not for any particular reason, I just haven’t

[@norabradley9108]

I haven't either 😊

[@elizabethlauricella7176]

Elliott. I just saw a short of you and Matt not doing vlogmas. Is this true? I can’t find it again and am so worried about you. Is it true?? I’m Soo not sure it’s a real txt.

[@dionnevoller2903]

If there is pizza you don’t eat - don’t have for breakfast 🤮🤮 but freeze some slices - then when you fancy an odd slice with some salad for a quick lunch out in a frying with a drop of water and put a lid on - then uncover for the final crisp of the base - it’s fab

[@1966buttons]

Maybe its time for me to put my tree up

[@ElliotNMatt]

Go for it!

[@fayreid6953]

❤

[@annkarpinskireddog]

I love your fruitcake❤

[@lisawhiby739]

We put up the tree first then cleaned the entire house for xmas 😂😂😂😂it was exhausting but worth it
