Roo playing hide and seek is seriously the cutest thing. Great job filming that Mo haha!

[@liz_alva]

You playing hide and seek with your dog is the most wholesome content I've seen all day :D

[@benwrex6280]

Oh my goodness, I couldn't handle the cuteness of playing hide and seek with Roo! What a sweet, smart boy! ETA: I read Let It Snow every December, it's a story made up of three short novels by three different authors. It's YA, it's cute and fun, you might enjoy it :)

[@christy-anne-jones]

This was such a lovely, comforting video 🎅💛💛 and omg the HP lego is so nostalgic. I had the great hall when I was little, and I loved building it 😭

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, friend 💛💛 I’ve never had the Lego experience! I’m hoping this hogwarts express Leto-build becomes an annual thing ✨

[@kimcartwright8111]

I loved this Morgan! As a teen I would play hide and seek with our miniature schnauzer, Schroeder. I would hide and he would search and if he couldn't find me he would bark one time. I then would make a silly noise to help him out. Honestly, I would hide in some difficult places for him to find me. But, eventually he would succeed and wow, he was very excited to see me. He was a great dog. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Happy Birthday to Landon and I hope the three of you have a very Merry Christmas!!

[@CynthiaSaychay]

The chunky squirrel stole the show

[@onlyireneadler]

This video feels like a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa ♥

[@phoebe8094]

Watching Roo play hide and seek was ABSOLUTELY some of my favorite content I’ve ever seen on KZbin. It made me ridiculously happy. 😅 I’m reading the Christmas bookshop now and I totally agree - the family dynamic with the sister and her children are my favorite part of the story! I hope you have an absolutely MAH-VELOUS Christmas, my dear friend! Happy trees, reads, and teas to you madam. ❤️❤️

[@nickygoldsmith6785]

Watching Monseuir Roo playing hide and seek was the cutest thing ever. Such a lovely video. So cosy xx

[@suzy8109]

Morgan, your vlogs are like snuggling up with a fluffy blanket on a snowy evening sipping a cup of hot chocolate. I am so glad I found your channel. Happy Holidays.💕

[@rae_of_sunlight]

Ahhh this was so beautiful! Those Christmas lights - utter magic ✨

[@hannarchy_]

Your “day in the life” style videos are my absolute favorite! You’ve definitely inspired me to read some cozy childhood classics.

[@kyliesanders6013]

I just reread Little Women..Morgan love that book sooo much.. love Roo and his antics ...

[@kaiju_k5042]

One of these days I will watch a whole video without tearing up, this is comfort beyond words. Thank ✨ you.

[@natalietowner6780]

Aren’t our furry friends the best. I am grateful for my fur babies every single day 💜

[@athanasiapipiki8182]

Oh my wondrous hygge Morgan🎀, you can really make me smile with the beautifully decorated home 🏘️ of yours, the inspiring Christmas cards, gifts and December house diary, your book 📗📚 recommendations and make me laugh 😂with your hide &seek game with the loveliest Monsieur Roo🐶!!! Thank you soooo much for that and wish you the Merriest Christmas with your beloved ones ❤️❤️💚💚🌲🌲💖💖🥰🥰🐶🐶🏡🏡✨✨🐕🐕☕☕🎁🎁🎀🎀🎄🎄🎄(P.S. the tip about the gratitude diary is great by the way)

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Morgan, I do a blessing jar. I write notes on things that touch my life.it could be the person who mowed my lawn or tea with a friend, a good book, a pretty sunset. It doesn't have to be every day. On new years eve I take all my blessings out and read them.makes me realize how blessed I am indeed.

[@NakiasHideaway]

Watching Roo play Hide and Seek was the highlight of the vlog! That brought me so much joy! Hope Landon had a Happy Birthday! 🎈 Thanks for the cozy vlog! 🖤

[@emilycarlson3295]

I regret not being earlier to this wonderful video, but I got my Covid booster shot and spent the past few days recovering. I love the holiday vibes of this video!

[@stefanieteichert1687]

Coziness overloaded, yeah. I also have a morning ritual, namely when I take my youngest child to primary school on foot, on the way back I go to a large, open meadow and the sky above me. I can turn 360 degrees and above me I see nothing but the sky. Oh, I love to watch the clouds go by and the special thing is that I can watch the sunrise so great. I enjoy it so much, it is meditative and makes me happy. Yes and in my mind, I tell myself what I'm grateful for and say a few affirmations. A good start in the day . Special BIRTHDAY greetings to Landon .... You full of light and sunshine .... your Steffi

[@saniakteresa]

It was a feel good video.. altogether 'd fun watching your playtime with RoO🐾 , those christmas lights 🎄✨ and puppet show 💛.

[@tamelinbrown6114]

So sad I missed the premiere again, but sure enjoyed watching it today! Delightfully cozy and Christmasy!! 😃❤️🎄

[@meredithmorse2072]

Your videos are like beautiful pieces of art but also cozy and personal. I love watching them so much! Thank you for sharing your life/art with the world. 💛

[@cozy.punkin]

Hide and Seek with Roo🥺👏🏼 Roo is soooo cute

[@thesandrapages]

Ahh I LOVE A Little Princess! 💝 The movie adaptation will always be my favorite but the book is so cute, too!

[@luciagarone1006]

You make everything brighter. You put a smile on my face, you make me see life can be beautiful. You have a natural side of you that I love. What you see is what you get, kind of thing! Your dog is so adorable 😍 💕 you give me great ideas to fill up my days, cause sometimes days can be boring and long. And I think we have to be positive in life, even if sometimes life can bring you down. And writing down things we are grateful for, is a fantastic idea. 3 things I'm grateful for is to be alive! To have my family , and to be all healthy and well!! Have a great day my shining 🌟 star!!! Never stop shining! ❤

[@assiakessai]

The hide and seek with the king of luxury was my best part of the video its makes me laugh each time he find the toy ❤

[@abideanddwell]

A Little Princess was one of the oldest book I have. It was a children's edition that was a shortened version. I just read the original full version a couple months ago and it was perfect! You definitely remind me of sweet Sara!🥰🤎

[@lesleyallen7379]

Roo is so lovely. A book and a dog by your side. Nothing better 💖.

[@marisaikert3011]

So magical! Used to sing at the Grotto every year with my high school choir :)

[@cathycreates]

Super cute hide and seek. How wholesome!

[@moviemagus1921]

A Little Princess is a beautiful book. I read it first when I was around ten, and then several more times growing up. I got it from my dad so it makes it even more special.

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

This is the perfect video to watch in the morning before work! Cozy and gentle ☺️🥰thanks!

[@krystalcano6437]

Hey Morgan, thank you so much for making videos that bring a little sunshine to so many lives. Your videos helped me get through a period of time where I was dealing with poor health, so thank you again. As soon as I found your channel I was in love with your content and video style. You also inspired me to get back into reading. You work incredibly hard and it is so greatly appreciated. Wishing you the best❤

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, Krystal friend! I'm glad to know you've gotten through that period of poor health. You are so strong and full of life! 🌟

[@belenandrea99]

Roo content! 🐶🤎 thank you for giving us this amazing video, it makes my heart so full🧡🎄

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so much, friend 🧡🐾🎄

[@laurenyarborough8076]

Another comfy cozy video! ❤️ the RoO hide-and-seek was so cute! 🤗

[@readwithtalia]

Morgan!! You inspired me to finally pick up Little Women, a book I've been putting off since I was little. I was so afraid of it's size, but after starting it, I'm obsessed!! You are so right, there is something so special about never reading a children's classic, its such a gift to read them for the first time as an adult.

[@satopin7770]

So much festivity and coziness! I loved this - especially the ending!! I love Harry Potter and that lego set made me excited as well! I hope Landon loved it 🥰

[@dulcepires]

Lovely, warms the heart and soul. Thank you Morgan! Love Ro too!

[@Kpopheaven]

Omg I LOVED LOVED the hide & seek-game with Roo, a clever dog

[@suzanneparvey4346]

I really enjoyed this vlog video Morgan. Also great minds think a like as I just went with my sister and her daughter on Wed night to see the Grotto Festival of Lights. I had not been in quite a few years and it always puts me in the Christmas spirit. I had a hot cocoa and enjoyed all the beautiful lights and the entertainment. Glad you and Landon were able to go and experience it. I will be anxious to hear how Landon likes his birthday gift too. Have a cozy rest of your day and wonderful weekend.

[@victoriah.3491]

Morgan, dear heart, what about COZY COTTAGE GIFT TAGS (CHRISTMAS) for next year?? Blessings and joy and sparkles a plenty this special time of year. Hugs to you, Landon and Monsieur RoO.

[@meganbrush]

Oh how happy I am to have discovered this channel a year and half ago 💕 it's the coziest place on the internet.

[@andrewschumacher2351]

The dog hide and seek is the cutest.

[@NikhilaKBalakrishnan]

I love the video, as always! Thank you for making it, dear Morgan. Please do wish Landon a very happy birthday! Happy holidays! ❤️

[@artsyputsy]

I loooove everything about this video! Your book recommendation, the cozy feeling, Roo playing hide & seek, and the light show. BUT I was waiting for Landon’s reaction to his present lol. Did he like the Harry Potter lego? I don’t really play Lego but I saw the Hedwig lego and I really want one. I hope you three have an incredible holiday ❤️

[@NakiasHideaway]

Same! I was like "Wait, did Landon like his gift?" 😄

[@maariah.7699]

Holiday wishes from Finland. ❤ Thank you for your reading tips. The Little Princess was my favourinte book when I was a child. I have totally forgotten about it. I really must read it again as adult.

[@ClaireDeLune2848]

Wow, that cabin painting is beautiful!! It's amazing that you could do that by hand! I've always said that I'm a terrible artist (because, well, I am), but after watching your videos I've started looking into local art classes. I don't expect to get really good at drawing or painting, but I'd like to learn something new just because I can. So thanks for the inspiration!

[@cozy.punkin]

Also, this may be my favorite postcard so far🥰 so much talent!

[@tinahawley09]

I love the gratitude journal, I keep a prayer journal I begin each morning with my coffee and the start of each of I thank God for what I'm thankful for followed by prayer requests for others sometimes myself, etc. And it's a great way to start the day but I do fall short and don't get it in everyday life sometimes gets in the way. But I always feel better when I do take the time.

[@MorganLong]

It does always feel so much better when practiced daily, but something is always better than nothing even if not practiced daily! ❤️

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

Now that I’ve finished watching, I just have to add that this what yet again such a beautiful vlog! I couldn’t look away - thank you! 🥰🎄🌟

[@adriannanorth]

This video was so delightful, I had to watch it twice! What a fun game to play with your dog! Merry Christmas!

[@MafaldaMFMAC]

You are the loveliest person Morgan, you videos are so special and are my favorite keep creating wonderful works of art 💚💚

[@BookBFF]

Recently I was drawing something by hand and I double tapped the paper to undo something and realized it wasn’t Procreate and I couldn’t do that. 😂😂 loved the postcard you shared!

[@AudreyDeary]

Roo is so smart! His hide & seek was so cute!

[@cevec99]

This was so lovely - so cosy and full of festive joy :)

[@mayahrasmussen]

Seeing you play hide and seek with Roo was so heartwarming and wholesome!🧡 Dogs are such precious beings! This was such a lovely and festive video ✨🕯🎄🎁 And happy birthday to Landon!!🎊🎉

[@kayleebooks1860]

Like I say in every video of yours, thank you thank you thank you. You ar e part of my self care and I turn to your videos when I am at my lowest. They are the most comforting thing and never fails to bring me joy. ♥️

[@kseniyaprobooks9215]

I have never seen such cozy and homely video!

[@Miahobbes]

Roo is the sweetest dog! 😭💛💛💛💛

[@brigittarusli]

Oh, just what I needed after a long busy week. Morgan's videos always calm me down with cozy-ness!😄

[@juliafieger949]

The Grotto is a beautiful place - haven't been in a few years! And Roo....great hunting buddy!!!!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Great Cozy Christmas Reading Vlog Update and Next Week Is Christmas! Happy Weekend, Morgan!❤️❤️🎄🎄🌻🌻

[@MorganLong]

Woohoo! SO excited for Christmas! Happy weekend, Ervin friend! 🎄🌟☕️

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

You too, Morgan!

[@garrulus3399]

Exactly what I needed. The song Morning Snow by the Whiskey Wasps is a new christmas tradition already. Thank you so much for sharing your truth with us. Especially today, as I am feeling low and sad, it gives me a sense of comfort and warmth I am tremendously grateful for. Merry Christmas, Morgan and Landon and Roo and all fellow viewers!

[@ScullyPop]

I thought you might appreciate that I'm reading the classic Dickens out loud tonight. Just wanted you to know. Have a great day!

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

now I wanna read The Little Princess 😂🥰 The Christmas lights were amazing!

[@susefink6099]

You are a lovely person who makes one feel so cosy just by watching☃️🎄❤ have a merry christmas🎄🎅

[@julialovesgfriend]

i read that same edition of a little princess this year !!! it was so lovely and cozy and this edition is so pretty and whimsical it felt like a fairy tale ❤️__❤️ I should have saved it for christmas time, would have been perfect !!

[@Catherine.B.]

Morgan, your videos make my heart so happy.💖 Every video you make is a work of art🥺🥰

[@sjthorn]

Roo looking for his toy is both heartwarming and eerily reminds me of myself when I'm looking for something I lost lol, going to the same place a hundred times.

[@andreeastiopu1831]

Hygee for ever! Thank you, friend! 🤗

[@themostbeautifulgirl6764]

Your apartment is wonderful and warm💞💞💞

[@SheilaJoy]

I’ve missed the cozy chatty vlogs! Also recommend The Miniaturist. I just started reading it and it seems like something you’d enjoy. It’s not Christmassy per se, but something I’m enjoying during the holidays because it’s about a young bride who receives a miniature replica of her home as a wedding gift and takes place in 17th century Amsterdam. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, Morgan! 🎄❤️

[@MorganLong]

Thank you for the recommendation, friend ❤️

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

Happy Birthday, Landon! Beautiful editing, Morgan.

[@alliepizzemento9003]

What you're talking about with adding gratitude to your morning tea is called habit stacking! It's a really effective way to bring new habits into your life. Attach the new, desired habit to a well established one 😁

[@Purzius]

This has to be one of my favorites of yours

[@juliafonseca2131]

This was a very heartwarming video

[@lilwinchester1417]

Whenever I watch your reading vlogs I buy at least one of the books I share your love for illustrated childrens book, especially around Christmas Thanks for the inspiration

[@jouletep]

I loved this

[@rehabyasser2990]

roo is so smart omg i love him so much

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

This is such a cozy vlog! I love your gratitude journal/making tea routine. Now I totally want to go an re-read A Little Princess . . .

[@BVoshol]

Awww! I love Roo's hide and seek! I'm a dog trainer and finding a toy or treat in the house is my top suggestion for helping dogs to get that good, good mental simulation. He did good with sourcing that elevated hide - finding things that are up off the floor is hard! I loved him soucing that scent along the closet. I love doing nosework with my dogs - but I haven't got the kit out recently as I've been working on growing my dog training business. I'll have to do that soon!

[@rehabyasser2990]

yet again i felt so anxious while you’re pouring your tea over the notebook 😂 the other time was when you put your mug on the couch man the anxiety is so high

[@Rec426]

This got me in the mood to pick up Little Women. I believe I still have a copy of it. I tried to read it when I was younger but never really got into it. I saw the new movie with Emma Watson last year and loved it so I think I’d enjoy reading it more now than I did when I was younger :)

[@tocandolaguitarra01]

jejejejeje wath a dog🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Roo💪💪💪💪🗽thanks for youre videos and bring us happyness in this hard times....grasias amiga 🤗

[@KristenMelissa]

Aww I love The Little Princess! 😍 As a child I loved both the book and the Shirley Temple movie version! 💕💕💕 Roo is so Amazing!! 😀 I feel excited for him too! 😅 This was so nice and cozy and festive! 🎄💖☕📚✨

[@amyb1710]

Morgan I look forward to your videos every Friday night. They have become part of my much needed end of the week relaxation time and hygge. Especially when everything seems so grim at the moment. I love a book shop and the idea of reading but I've never been able to enjoy it. It became a chore as a child and not something you did for fun. However now I get to be that reader and live vicariously through you and Jen Campbell, who you mentioned in another vlog which did make me smile. Somehow even when social media can be full of nonsense and lies, the nicest of people still find each other. 💕 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 Happy Birthday Landon!

[@Irenexvre]

I can't believe it another one cozy video and another cozy Friday thanks Mo for this and your videos are my safe place>>>❤️❤️❤️ and happy birthday to Landon!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much for watching another Premiere, Irene friend! ❤️❤️❤️

[@danialmansouri6865]

I’m reading Little Women for the first time this month and it has become one of my favorites. It’s the most comforting book.💗

[@michelled.3849]

I adore your painting

[@rebeccazahn5299]

I love this!I would adore if you posted your recipes! 🥰

[@RovingReader]

Your dog is so so fun!

[@robynkahle7240]

I saw in one of your bookstore hauls that you got a Change Journal, I found one and am going to try it also.

[@mahigill115]

I always watch your videos , you videos give me smile , comfort and satisfaction . Craving me to go to the book shop .

[@MorganLong]

Thank you for watching and appreciating my videos, friend ❤️

[@heathergaucher3555]

I LOVED the Rosie Blake book, too! Like you, I was expecting cheesy...but there was something more to this book that was wonderful. Please keep doing what you do! Your videos are seriously at the center of my self care. Not only are they calming watching them but they inspire me to approach my day in your example. Much love...Heather 💕

[@user-xo6qh6ux6j]

Wonderful video.

[@MariaMedeiros]

Very cozy!

[@fertilevessel1271]

Another lovely video. Your cinematography skills are coming along grand ❤️

[@thesandrapages]

& oh my goodness I really want to read The Christmas Bookshop but it was out of stock everywhere I went this past Christmas so I’m already aiming to read it for bookmas *this* December 😂🤗

[@melissaabel9157]

i love playing hide & seek with my pooch too! ❤️🦋
