12 DAYS OF VLOGMAS - DAY 12 / PREPPING FOR CHRISTMAS

[@janicelynch6351]

Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. We lost our 41 year old son on November 10th, so this will be a sad and different Christmas for us. We have two other sons, two daughters and 5 grandchildren. The youngest, Paisley, is 22 months old, the daughter of my son who passed away. She was the apple of his eye. We will all be thinking of him tomorrow. Being together really helps.🙏❤

Thank you ❤️

[@teddybear283]

You kept me company this month. Your attitude and positivity even when things are hard is inspiring.

[@KarensTownsend9]

Arika thank you so much for vlogmas. As I have mentioned my mom is here with us 28months in her hospital bed and I cant leave the house without a sitter or my husband here. So I really enjoy these. I never miss a video. I made a peanut butter cake this evening ajd Mexican corn dip for tomorrow. Have dressing in the fridge, making chicken casserole amd french onion rice. Then the rest of the family is bringing lots of food too. Im making other things as well. The guys hit golf balls in the filed. The kids ride the go cart and golf cart. We have 5 acers for them to play. We dont live in town. But its only a 20 min drive in. Merry Christmas. I will be at Walmart when they open on the 26th for the mark downs lol. 6 am

[@sarabates2046]

I love the verses at the end. Often I tear up as I read them. Thank you

[@caracampbell1715]

It just has not seemed like Christmas this year. It was so warm in Texas the entire fall and then Thanksgiving was late in the month of November. Today is Christmas Eve and we open gifts on Christmas Eve so for us Christmas is pretty much already over now all the work begins to take down all the decor. Find places for the gifts and begin decluttering and organizing for the new year. I so wish it was another two weeks until Christmas. I really enjoyed your VLOGMAS. Merry Christmas!❤🎄❤️

[@deborahmallabone1387]

Merry Christmas take care of yourself. Love how Buttercup watches you 😊

[@terryruiz7417]

The month has been a tough one, with axbrother passing suddenly on the 11th, our dog running away, and yesterday, our son had to be hospitalized. Your videos have been a blessing. I hope you are able to find your mom a place she will be comfortable in, and i see the dogs are "mingling." Have a truly Merry Christmas, and many blessings for the coming year. God is good, all the time.

[@lindagailsch]

Hope you feel better Arika. Doing so much, moving stuff & the stress of everything have prbly definitely taken a toll on you. Have a very Merry Christmas with your family.

[@LindaLou-oh6qz]

Tired, worn out, aches and pains..... it's Christmas. That's what we do. There will come a day when the chaos stops and you can sit a week and rest. It will be greatly received I am sure. One of my greatest fears is being a burden to my sons although I know they would do whatever they needed to do and not think a thing of it. That is just their personalities. I hope your mom is not feeling she is a burden. My sister and I took care of our parents when they needed care. After all they cared for us for years. Where did the little black and white dog go? Is he still in the house? He is so cute. May you and your family have a blessed and peaceful Christmas Season and the New Year is good to you all. Merry Christmas.

[@Linda-gi8pr]

Merry Christmas to you and all your family ! I am 68 and I find Christmas just doesn't seem the same, obviously, every year. Also, I have been going to a chiropractor for over 40 years, as needed. Couldn't live without one.

[@Peggy0559]

Merry Christmas Arika and Marion, Jaxson and all your wonderful family and fur babies . Christmas Day is almost over here in UK but just watched your last vlogmas. Thank you so much for the journey of 2024 The ups and downs, very sad times and very happy times, shopping hauls, crafts, building, gardening, decor, births , weddings and all the things . You are a star and I so appreciate your company. God bless you all. 🇬🇧🤓🎄🎅🏻

[@mpuett10049]

I feel just like you I do not feel Christmasy at all, and it does not feel like Christmas but I am too so blessed

[@beckystewart4423]

You are such an inspiration. You are real and I love that about your videos. Prayers for all as you experience transition. 🙏

[@dawndillon7043]

Prayers that your neck and back are better. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family

[@kathymayer3520]

Merry Christmas Erika to you and your family (dogs and cats too). Praying for the pain that it’s bearable through the days ahead and gets better each day.

[@brenda7799]

Paisley was too cute using the mop. She is totally your “mini me”. Enjoyed all the vlogmas videos. Merry Christmas Dorsett family.

[@christinatimney3979]

Arika thank you for another wonderful vlogmas, my daughter, son in law and grandson are also in New York for Christmas it’s been a strange one without them however, thank goodness for FaceTime where they just rang us and were standing in Time Square what a weird and wonderful world we now live in, Merry Christmas to you all 💕

[@Chell1496]

I can’t believe that you guys don’t have any snow yet! So crazy! ❄️ How fun for her going to New Your City with Jordan and seeing his family for Christmas. I have sympathy for you when kids are away with married spouses families etc. for holidays. 💕 Thanks for doing Vlogmas amid your crazy schedule. Enjoy watching every video! ❄️ I wish you all the best in what you’re going through right now and for your mom as well. ❄️

[@karenburgess3560]

Thank you for all of your videos and all of the work you put into them. Glad to hear your back is feeling better.

[@nelliepisani4348]

You did a great job with all your vlogmans videos thank yoy for sharing with us! Have a wonderful holiday with your family ❤

[@ecppce1]

Merry Christmas to you all!! We have mother in law 90 here last night. She had a good time but isn’t stable walking when not at home. So one of us was always behind her. I’m so over sweets but I am making a batch of no bake today to see if the reason my other batches didn’t turn out because of the sugar. I used wal mart brand but got a bag of dominos to try today. Christmas decor is staying up until Jan 6, my bday. I m making packing plans and decluttering/keep /toss of Christmas decor. I lost our stockings and had to use old ones. The ones I lost were the girl (44 & 41) big baby stockings. There here. I just packed up so fast last year. lol

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos. Merry Christmas Christmas to you and yours.

[@lindabrown545]

Merry Christmas Arika, loved vlogmas always love your videos. I look forward to your videos🙏 ❤☃️🌲

[@pate2680]

You are such a loving, giving, hardworking Mama, daughter, wife. I see you. May God bless you now and always. Merry Christmas. ❤

[@marcelamagnolia1823]

Hi Arika. It's been a different Christmas for me this year and doesn't feel like Christmas as my mom has moved to a retirement home and it's the first Christmas we haven't celebrated it at my parents home. My dad passed away 6 years ago and my mom who is 85 needs more care. I sympathize with you about your neck because I deal with neck issues and have to see my chitopractor once a week, it does help. I hope your neck pain goes away soon. Have a Blessed Merry Christmas ❤

[@Alaskan_mom]

Yay, another vlogmas! I hear you, it hasn’t felt like Christmas even up here in Alaska where we have cold and snow. I’ve felt this the last 4 years. I can’t even imagine life without my amazing Chiropractor! He’s gotten me off all meds and has me getting healthier than I was in my 20’s! I’ve seen many chiro’s since we moved a lot (military family). Some are ok and some are incredible! Merry Christmas Dorsett family❤️

[@cassandraL6851]

Merry Christmas to you all! 🤶🏼⛄🎄

[@annholt4843]

[@beverlydenton1425]

I have enjoyed your Volgmas videos. I like the day to day in your videos much better. Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas ❤️. I really couldn’t get in the mood for decorating. I have a ceramic Christmas tree that I put out but that was it. My husband and I do not give each other gifts anymore. If we find something we want during the year, we say that is your present. My husband lost his brother a week ago and it is hard to celebrate. Sorry I’m rambling. Merry Christmas

On the jewelry that you show are you buying the solid real gold or the other material? Trying to see what’s the best to buy because there is a price difference so want to see if the other material is good
