crocheting christmas gifts PART 2 🎁 (a BIG descent into madness)

[@CameronE827]

When you said "I have seasonal depr- get away from my cream cheese!" I really felt that. As someone who also has seasonal depression and has tried to cure it through copious amounts of cream cheese 😂

[@evie0528]

i feel you jaida❤ christmas was NOT christmasing this year. i didn't pressure myself to make gifts for people, but even then i just didn't feel like myself. my whole christmas break felt like a fever dream fr

[@mrsmoonheaven]

RIGHT I FULLY AGREE!!!

[@clairewulf]

my wife haven't done christmas for the last few years but i think we should because it's her favourite holiday :( her birthday is on new year's though so i put a lot of effort into that. this year i'm going to buy one of those tiny trees and get a bunch of little presents and make it special for her

[@hairstrand780]

aww

[@Rhysdoesstuff02]

this year was the first year that I said I would make gifts for everyone and actually finished them. everyone was so surprised

[@mrsmoonheaven]

dude big congrats that’s amazing

[@meex1029]

I panic knitted socks for my father for christmas. I finished them the day before christmas and was so proud of myself... and then there were to small! Haha if I hadn't been in such a rush I probably would've noticed...

[@SpreadtheRed]

Omg thats a ton of parties...I love the "Wednesday and a half" lol 😂

[@mayyouforeverberuined2144]

me and my friends have decided to just Not to christmas gifts because uhhh, there's too many of us and that'll get expensive, so we do bdays instead. i like handmaking them stuff, usually just small amigurumi or like, a bookmark so def easier than making full clothing items and even then its a bit of a stress. congrats on everything you did manage to make!!

[@KeepingUpWithKomal]

i love watching your videos so much don't ever stop creating.

[@riceyspooce]

same boat, last year I finished a Christmas gift two minutes before leaving for the Christmas party

[@jordanaken7157]

I bought the yarn for and crocheted an entire beach bag the day before Christmas eve I FEEL U

[@artareon]

Really fun video! I was crocheting a Valentines themed c2c blanket as I watched. I have many crochet blanket wips but I keep starting new ones so get what you mean😂 The projects you showed were very beautiful. Now that the holidays have passed im glad to hear that you feel a little bit better without the stress of a deadline for gifts. Like your mom said, small gifts are great too and still take a lot of effort! Great job~

[@LuckyLilClover342]

My family and i do secret Santa due to the sheer amount of people that celebrate together, so i only have to crochet a bigger project for one person and little stuff for stocking stuffers for everyone else. I also do this for my coworkers, so it saves me on stress

[@lindasakseide282]

WOW, that white sweater with the grey stripes is so cool and beautiful. You always make such beautiful sweaters. I love watching them, - and your videos in general.

[@jjonze]

I loved this video! Thanks for suffering and making it for us to watch!! It was so cool :)

[@nessi3193]

[@MiliGarzon]

Hi ! I lov e your apartamento, what kind it is?

[@maggzmakez]

favorite part was "hey, get away from my cream cheese!"

[@mrsmoonheaven]

my girl loves cream cheese

[@autumnmiller9225]

My cats are obsessed with cream cheese. If they hear you open it they come running 😂

[@NEONITSOUL]

Hi babe just letting u know I started my boyfriend’s gift in January, scrapped it, and haven’t even started the new one

[@mrsmoonheaven]

LMAO thanks for letting me know that is totally valid

[@beautybyasyanicole]

Christmas definitely was not Christmas-ing for 2023. I had the gloomy doomy's the entire day. Barely wanted to be in the front of the house with my fam. i ate then went and played video games the rest of the day. :/

[@luciecao8653]

First time being soooo earlyy❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrsmoonheaven]

Welcome to the world of being neurodivergent

[@jinglejangle97]

Honestly this whole video seems really silly to me. She managed to finish gifts for all of her friends for her secret Santa party, even the ones she didn’t need to make gifts for, but then couldn’t be bothered to weave in the ends for other gifts she already completed? and now she just has a bunch of half done projects that she doesn’t even know when she’ll finish? Sounds like next year she needs to prioritize a small group of people to make gifts for, and decide on a manageable amount she will actually be motivated to complete. Don’t set unrealistic expectations for yourself and he honest about who you actually WANT to make things for. Don’t oversell yourself, because now she’s just wasted a ton of time and money making a bunch of half done projects that it sounds like she will never complete.

[@mrsmoonheaven]

uh oh the project police!!

[@onethiirdcrochet]

Hopefully no one gave you any handmade gifts this year because clearly you wouldn’t appreciate it

[@artareon]

Your comment seems much more silly. What's important is that she got to be around the people she cares for not whether or not she finished the gifts. Working on projects that you don't find as fun in the moment can take a lot of the enjoyment out of the experience. i'm glad that she listened to her body and thought about what she felt excited to make In the moment. It's so easy to get burned out this time of a year and she even mentioned seasonal depression and you're more worried about if she finished a gift???

[@autumnmiller9225]

Why do you keep saying "she" like it isn't her channel and she won't see the comment you wrote about her? That's so weird. It's like you're giving a book report to someone about it.

[@maleahlock]

@ jinglejangle97 Someone *cough*you*cough* is taking their insecurities for a meander on the interwebs.

[@maiah6633]

i know you took back the request but the only thing i see that’s wrong with you is absolutely NOTHING😭 the love and care you put into each gift despite dealing with winter blues is admirable 🩵 can’t wait for what’s next for you!

[@maiah6633]

also hate to be this is btch but could you share where your shirt at 17:46 is from?

[@mrsmoonheaven]

thank you so much this is so sweet 🥹 also i’m so sorry but i tho k my partners mom may have .. made it?? if im not mistaken. i can’t remember if she gave it to me from her closet or it just ended up in my clothes!!
