[@sweigh72]

Love it 😂😂

[@kerryshepherd5676]

Yes 😂

[@glitterbaby00]

Before I watched this video, I thought you were commenting Danny Devito in an Aussie accent and had assumed that’s how Dianne/her family pronounced it in the vid 😂😂😂

[@grissopia]

That's what I was going to say 😅

[@lisachild6098]

Full support for Dianne & Chris - always!

[@us3r.7352]

Are you telling me you dared to prank Mark and Reena 😂 their reaction was hilarious! you can never resist a prank I hope they get back at you! 😂

[@juliepeachey3965]

Dove-id Bowie Love the early morning pranks 😂

[@kashishnenwani9837]

The reveal of the staircase light was my favorite moment!! So christmassy and cozy ✨

[@BevBaker-m3c]

Thank you Joe. Love it when you take us for a walk, as I no longer can walk far due to spinal stenosis. Also the lights look gorgeous. As for the meat it’s a bloody bargain. Frightening Rena and Mark so funny. Love Bev your OAP fan ❤

[@ixbella_]

18:55 Those stairs layout always remind me of when Joe and Dianne made a house in the sims during lockdown and they did that layout for one of the builds! lol

[@MarieBusby-b7j]

Absolutely gorgeous! It makes me happy that Dianne's parents were able to visit through the holidays. Having a family is a gift, embrace and enjoy every moment.

[@cynthiaandrews4259]

A lovely large wreath, would look great on the glass in the middle of the stairs❤🎄🌲🎅🏻

[@lyshalomas]

Chris and dianne are WINNING!!! Voted every week for them and I can’t WAIT to see them this week. Phenomenal!!!! Also you were robbed you 100% should’ve won strictly you were so good!

[@blueberryxbugaboo6902]

Since their week 1 cha cha they’ve been the most voted in all polls people have done to keep them in, I can’t wait to see them both lift the trophy esspecially seeing how emotional they’ve both been these last few weeks

[@NKT15601]

Poor Dianne she must be exhausted but it’s all worth it, making so many of us at home happy with what they’re achieving together. Roll on Saturday my phone bill is going to be so expensive in January 😅 don’t care, worth every penny.

[@vallee3140]

dont know if you know but, you could also vote 3 times online for free.

[@NKT15601]

@ thanks, yep I do that too x

This was my immediate thought too!!

Joe knew i was sitting down to eat! just what i needed!

[@ThatcherJoeVlogs]

Sorry about the fart.. hope it didn't put you off you dinner.

[@atmosci3286]

@ThatcherJoeVlogs after watching you for 11 years on yt, its the least i expected for a opener of a vlogmas! 🩶😂

[@us3r.7352]

4:27 so excited for marks press conference! 6:52 trust me I will support Chris and Dianne all the way!

[@harleymac6308]

Joe, the lights on the stairs are stunning! What an entrance! I'm really enjoying your videos. 😊x

[@sarahcarrette2193]

Those stair lights look amazing Joe, and the reflection on the glass makes it even better!!🎄

[@LDD23]

2:20 Mark reminds me of Gru with the scarf like that 😂😂

[@Handle_098]

Anyone else living for moments between Joe and Diane’s parents ❤

[@tiffcat1100]

Wow for the staircase lights, stunning! Well done ❤

[@carolinedunne8455]

The Christmas lights on the stairs look amazing and the pizza looks delicious ❤ Mark and Rina’s reaction was brilliant! Congrats to Chris and Dianne 🎉

[@W0rdsandMus1c]

That's what I love about your Vlog, a little bit of everything ❤

[@Leeterry52]

Love the talking to animals when out ,think we all do it 😂 The deer joke is spot on 🦌🦌 Ear muffs mmmm let you start that trend .

[@anneliesbok]

The moment you switched the fairy lights on the stairs, I felt like a kid getting excited to see how pretty it looked. Yours and Zoe's vlogs are making me want to get my decorations up asap but I need to find a tree first. Good luck to Chris and Dianne this week. Sending lots of love from Cape Town South Africa🧡

[@TracieB06]

Semi final🎉🎉🎉❤❤ Those lights on the stairs look fab Joe 👍🎄♥️✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@elizabethsmith9213]

Another great vlog Joe, just loving whatever you are able to vlog. Loved when you pranked dianne's parents. I laughed along with you. Xxxx

[@mariamila9686]

Dianne and Chris to win need every one to vote and I know it would be a dream come true for dianne xxxx

[@karenferns6160]

Yes that's "2 deer" Joe😅 . Dec's look ace & I'd put the falcon in a blanket/ tarpaulin in the garage. Christmas & Dianne for the win..!!!

[@ClareJo2605]

100% supporting Chris and Dianne, we'll get them there! They are the most deserving winners. Why do people do that? There will be so many empty spaces in a carpark and you can guarantee someone will park right next to you, WHY? It's so annoying!

[@jenniferpruden4059]

Good video Joe. That sure was an early rise and how you frightened Reena and Mark before they ent off for their break was amazing. Fun in your house has started and i bet they will get you back!!! Your lights look beautiful and Diane will love them when she gets home. Love how her and Chris are doing and im willing them on!!!💃🕺. Take csre and stay Safe. Thank you for sharing your home life with us. 🙋🏡👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🎄🎅🥳

[@wendysmith4845]

Lights on stair case are amazing, very festive ❤

[@kerryshepherd5676]

Definitely behind Chris and Dianne all the way ❤ Loved the prank 😄 🤣

[@Liz4799]

Joe, even a Monday and being on your own, is well worth watching 😊

[@karenskinner9817]

I am loving Vlogmas Joe, I could watch you all day. ❤️ Chris and Dianne to win. ❤️

[@youngthing12]

Love Dianne, Mark, Rina and her brothers and their wives 🤩 obviously also love Joe and his family 😄 beautiful families. Chris and Dianne are my Strictly Winners from day one love love love them ❤👍🏻🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@susannahwhitaker994]

I for one could sit and listen to you chat for as long as you like lol. Love your natural manor and appreciation for nature 🤗

[@kailynwhipple5094]

The lights on the stairs are PERFECT 😍

[@leannejrobins]

As an Aussie grandma of a very proud millennium falcon owner, may I suggest using a vacuum sealed bag. In theory it should work and it would be protected during storage. Sad that we can't vote for Chris & Dianne, so sending positive thoughts, good vibes, lots of love and "may the force be with them"💗

[@chardumoulin]

Hey Joe! I’ll definitely be rooting from Belgium for Dianne and Chris! It was really nice to hear that people are visiting Belgium, especially since Reena and Mark, are here during December. As a Belgian, I find that extra special! 😊 They should definitely check out the Christmas markets in Ghent, Bruges, and Durbuy (in the Ardennes), as those are the most beautiful ones in the country. As for your Lego set, I’d suggest transporting it in a duvet cover. That way, if any pieces fall off, they’ll stay inside the cover. Maybe bubble wrap? And I’d probably try to lift it with two people, just to make it easier. Thanks for the awesome video and Vlogmas! Keep up the great work!

[@jeancollins4353]

😂😂love the prank on Mark & Rina, so funny. The lights on the stairs are perfect, they look beautiful .. I’ve voted for Chris & Dianne since day one ❤❤

[@carronalee]

The fairy lights on the stairway look FABULOUS. I’d be tempted to make them permanent!

[@vallee3140]

You are never boring Joe, in fact by yourself or not, you lead an interesting life, wish we had the lovely walks you have there. Oh and I have voted for Chris and Dianne since week one, they are something special.

[@dangrady0311]

The lights on the glass railing look awesome!

[@TSewell67]

Your vlog is something to look forward every day! Loving vlogmas so far. Keep it up 🥰. Tx❤️

[@paulasmith8981]

The lights look so magical ❤

[@katiek1856]

I did not know Chris was blind until yesterday. I’m from the USA 🇺🇸 and had no clue who he was. It’s amazing g how well they have done let alone the fact he is blind. I’m so happy for them and I really wish I could vote! Everyone who can needs to vote for them 🎉

[@jesshortt2998]

Bob Mortimers books are brilliant especially on audible as he reads them. Very very funny

[@jennyskam6954]

I have been voting for Diane and Chris from the start...I have a feeling this is going to be the year😍love to see you making crafty Xmas stuff joe. You cracked me up when you scared rina and mark😅😅

[@anneharley199]

Don't apologise. I enjoyed Ur walking and talking.. Ur always entertaining Joe. Love rina and Mark too... Lights on stairs fab... ❤❤

[@joewells1111]

8 legs of DEER for £150 that sounds like an absolutely roediculus amount of money, however I reckon you've got the doe.

[@tiffcat1100]

Beginning of vlog/tree prank, haven’t laughed so much all year! 😂❤😂

[@juliewoollard8057]

Joe get some bubble rap for your lego then put it in a box..... I crying with laughter from your prank that was brilliant 😂😂😂😂

That view at 12:26 is truly peaceful

[@Zoe-Rox]

Joe I love your vlogs, I now look forward to 6 pm everyday. You and Dianne are just wonderful, have voted for Dianne and Chris every week and will do till the end x

[@chrishanford1354]

Joe, the old jokes are the best. To transport the Millennial Falcon measure around it to form a rectangle, get some 1/4 or 1/2 inch ply cut larger than 3:29 that size, make it large enough to fit some inch thick sides and possibly get some foam to line the box, place the Falcon inside put some more foam on the top and then put the top on. If you’ve got a couple of rachet straps you could put those around it. You’ll enjoy fishing in France or Belgium. Keep up the good work.

[@cameo403]

Flashback to the old days with the prank❤😅

[@babyheartbaker]

im loving this, truly!!

Will definitely be voting for Dianne and Chris again this week. Would absolutely love to see them in the final…my Winners 🪩

[@JeM130177]

Poor Mark and Rina are gonna go back to Australia shaken up by weeks of pranks and shenanigans 😂😂😂

[@MoiraThomson-w1n]

Hi Joe. I love your content. Get Wet and Forget for your slabs. You need a dry day. Spray and do as it say "forget" your slabs will come up lovely all the green gunk and moss will disappear! It maybe too late to see the difference but do it again in the spring and you will be amazing within weeks. It also keeps working. The other advantage is it is not messy like power washing is. Wishing Chis and Diane all the best for this week. Hope Mark and Rena enjoy their break. Hope you get a wee time to chill. "Dandy Ladoo" for the name of third dove. Keep up the great work!

[@bychloebell]

House is looking amazingly festive. A large wreath on the glass above your door on the outside could look cool

[@maddielc204]

As a Canadian, it's fully acceptable for grown men to wear earmuffs! At some point (usually when it's -40) people stop caring what everyone else looks like and are just trying to stay warm 😅

Love, love the stair lights

I nearly wet myself laughing when you pranked mark and rina it was so funny and dianne helping you 😂😂 good vlog joe I'm so glad your back vlogging even if it's just for vlogmas. X

You had me crying at your prank on mark and reena🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jessica.moorhouse]

hahahhaha love that joke. definitely 2 deer!! x

[@LashyFD]

I think to move the millennium falcon Lego set you should carefully place it on a flat tray/surface and carry it up that way to prevent knocking bits off.

[@Coconut_2024]

You have a lovely house i love the lights big christmas 🎄 and love the garden i love Dianne and chris dancing together wish them all the best for the finals greetings from holland ❤

Late staff meeting ruined my 5pm, 6pm, 7pm viewing schedule! But I’m settled with my dinner ready for some shenanigans (wait wrong vlog) ready for some Joe and Dianne heartwarming craziness ❤

[@ThatcherJoeVlogs]

The shenanigans are at 7! this is the calm before the storm haha!

[@tammarawing71]

[@somersetflower]

No ear muffs - a great idea is a Deerstalker ( sherlock holmes hat) is that what they cal 'em ? Suit you sir !🧢 Fill up Dianne's "orrible" sleigh with pine cones 😊

[@katarinateslar]

The pranks on Mark and Rita were hilarious 😂. The music that was added while setting up the lights and putting them on was magical ✨. It looks wonderful with the tree in the middle 😍. Fellow Australian. All the best to Dianne and Chris. I watch some of the clips on Instagram and he is doing amazing 😊.

[@johnking5174]

12 drummers drumming - 11 pipers piping - 10 Lords a leaping - 9 ladies dancing - 8 maids a milking - 7 swans a swimming - 6 geese a laying - 5 gold rings - 4 calling birds - 3 French hens - 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. I know this off by heart since I was a little boy back in the early 1990s. It is burnt into my memory.

[@anncautley1179]

Loving these vlogs Joe, it is great watching your vlogs whatever is happening in your day be it on you own or with family it is never boring or disappointing. Great prank this morning 😂. Definitely voting Dianne & Chris they are amazing 🤩 & loved your walk in the countryside x

[@Victoriavalleys]

I used to work at Ooni and can confirm it takes a lot longer to get up to the top temperatures when its cold outside! The most important temperature though is the stone's temp. The thermometer on the Koda is showing the ambient temperature not the stone temp. So the stone might be at the correct temp especially the area furthest away from the opening! 😊

[@pawelgrochowski1767]

Joe, the house looks beautiful! Take a picture of the millennium falcon, and then in transporting it, put it in a box, or make a box so it fits perfectly, then it's easier to move!

[@pawelgrochowski1767]

Oh and the picture is for when parts come off!

[@shelchel9168]

I started listening to the Hail Mary Project months ago and forgot all about it! Thanks for the reminder - and the vlog!

Dove-tin Hoffman. Also, that tree prank was well worth it.

[@ellew5645]

Pleased to see your subs have gone up, well deserved Joe

[@johnturner4400]

You could try wrapping the Lego in cling film to stop bits falling off or maybe a large vacuum bag.

[@ritamaywebb73]

Love the tree prank and parent’s reactions….hope Dianes parents have a lovely trip to Belgium. Love the vlog as always…❤

[@dilroberts6527]

Poor rina got the Australian scared out of her!😂

[@Cat_1983]

I like listening to crime or murder mysteries on Audible as they sometimes give different voices to each character. I’m really into Lisa Jewell books at the moment, I’d say the best is ‘None of this is true’. I also listened to ‘Daisy Jones and the Six’ by Taylor Jenkins Reid, as there were so many characters in that book it made it easier to understand with the different voices used. Happy listening 😊

[@frogladybg6199]

I too hate the empty space beneath the Christmas tree once the presents have been opened. Regarding your Spaceship surely you can find some stiff cardboard to place it on or some plywood so that it stays intact. Why the attic. Would it not go in Chippie in your garage as you don’t use it in the winter! Just a thought. Hope Mark and Rena have a great time in Belgium and that Dianne and Chris get their new dances perfected for next Saturday. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

[@cakecarrots7126]

I have been saving boxes because I wrap everyone's gifts in them 1 it looks nice all square boxes under the tree and 2 no one has any idea what they have its great Christmas morning when someone opens a box of rice krispies with socks inside 😂
