Hello Elliot and Matt, Elliot I agree with you, enjoy the Christmas season with your family and friends and then you can start the New Year off eating healthy. Love to you both ♥️

[@michelleluvbeachsunsets4529]

Moderation is always the key. Never deprive. You are right. Life is for living. No food shaming from me. Merry Christmas to you and Matt. 🎄

[@Teen123ish]

I really don't think you should worry about what other people think, nobody knows your situation better than yourself. Enjoy December, everyone else is over indulging throughout this month too. Merry Christmas to you all, thank you for your vlogs 🙂

[@rob-blog]

It's a postal strike between Canada Post and it's Union. The strike is into its 4th week now. No end in sight. So, no Christmas Cards and Parcels through the Post for Christmas but other carriers such as Purolator and UPS are chock a block full with deliveries. Happy Holidays Elliot & Matt from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CANADA.🎄

[@SCO.T.T]

You’re absolutely right! Life’s far too short to just eat lettuce 🥬 we’re allowed treats 🎉 especially December❤ nice to see Matt closing the vlog without his yoghurt 😂❤

[@lalliepoppyga934]

You were in my You Tube Top 5 for the Year! I have enjoyed listening to you so much - wishing you a very Merry Christmas! I’m one of your OG listeners lol. Thank you for all you and Matt do to spread joy to everyone all over the globe. 💗💗💗

[@susanorr8348]

Some of my favorite sayings are- -you only live once -grab for the gusto -do what makes you happy but in moderation

[@josiejo-fh4ep]

My grandad had a circle lawn and then the surrounding flower bed had a mixture of roses with veg planted in amongst it and then boarder plants edging the lawn. It was beautiful and he pulled out so much veg from the garden. Oh and he had stepping stones amongst the beds so he could get in and weed, etc

[@suebeaney1397]

A Little of What You Fancy Does You Good, so keep being fancy 🪭😂😂 ❤ loved the vlog x

[@WendyDonaldson-ld1jg]

You go ahead and live your life as much as you can. January is a good month to start fresh going forward!

[@laurac8659]

I hear ya, enjoy the Holidays! 🎄🎅🏻❄️🎁❤️💚 You and Matt make mine brighter, thank you 🤩🇺🇸🇬🇧🏔️

[@MariaStanford-King]

We are very sad in Canada because of our postal strike. My Mom passed away and I have many of her unused Christmas cards and was looking forward to sending them out. Also sad for the kiddies who send letters to Santa.

[@irenedavo3768]

Enjoy what you want!

[@thinkathought]

You two are so cute! Next time you walk, Elliot, please take a video. The scenery where you live is beautiful.

[@armel369]

Enjoyed as usual. I’d love gardening tips next year as I would also love to grow fruit and veg but have no idea how to start

[@jacquelinehunt7794]

Loving seeing you more often.

[@debzhughes5270]

Applewood cheese is lovely its a tasty smoked cheese great with a pickled onion and cracker enjoy fab vlog as always xx

[@winigem]

I'm envious of you posting your Christmas 🎄 cards. I look forward to sending and receiving each year. My mailbox is lonely. 🇨🇦 Love watching your wonderful Vogmas vlogs! 🎅

[@juliethompson9196]

Life is what it is , enjoy every moment , life is to short to listen to the Nay sayers . Do what feels good and live life in the way that makes you happy . To many people wanting to give life advice.

[@barbaramccarthy7889]

Enjoy yourself, Elliot. You did a good job with your diet before, and you will again. Enjoyed your vlog. Merry Christmas!

[@seaside2001]

Hi from Canada. The post office went on strike 4 weeks ago and still no settlement. Sigh.......👋🇨🇦😡

[@DeniseMorgan-w7j]

Life’s too short Elliot , you enjoyed yourself , have a wonderful Christmas. Xx

[@kirstyevans5482]

Hello boys, mexicana is a bit spicy but tasty, applewood is a smoked cheddar, i used to work on a deli. I hope u enjoyed your xmas shopping i went yesterday at 9am stores were pretty busy. Loving your vlogmas vlogs. Eat what u fancy especially at this time of year. 🎅🎄🎅

[@SonyaM7]

Look at possibly planting dwarf varieties of fruit trees. I planted a dwarf peach tree last summer and it’s covered with peaches 🍑 this summer

[@irenedavo3768]

Make tin foil parcel add Banana Add Pineapple from tin! Add Brown Sugar and Butter ! Fasten parcel! Bake in oven

[@irenedavo3768]

Banana 🍌

[@irenedavo3768]

🍍butter 🧈

[@marjcameron312]

Canada wide postal strike since November. No Christmas cards for us, sad😢🎅🏻🎄

[@SonyaM7]

You can freeze Bananas in the skin to use in baking or in smoothies

[@WendyDonaldson-ld1jg]

Post Office Strike! No cards coming in or going out at the moment! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@karenchambers7231]

You eat what the bloody hell you want its your live live it how you want😊

[@DianeMeadows-h9r]

My son used decking boards to make raised planters against his fence & sprayed them grey. They look far more expensive than they were. You could get miniature fruit trees for your garden.

[@MaxineHamblin]

Take no notice of peoples comments about your eating habits, like you say life is too short so eat what you want (obviously moderation 😂) and live life to its fullest 😘

[@norabradley9108]

Elliot, you could still send Dawn's card later. I'm sure she'd like to receive one however late it arrived.

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Love the budleia with the 🦋 butterflys

[@rhondao1]

Your wanting to do the vegetable garden reminds me of the show “The Edible Garden” I watched on Prime video on my Britbox subscription. Do you watch the show there in the UK?

[@sharonwindram6833]

Gosh, how many takeaways do you have each week! 😮 You would save a lot of pennies by not having so many & your health would benefit too! 😊

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Yes love the herb idea❤

[@tracylowe9994]

You do eat a lot of takeaways 😮

[@NakisaSoltanKashefi]

Your music is wonderful. You are the singer as well, aren't you? What a beautiful voice 👏

[@LindaHouldsworth]

You are so funny lv watching your vlogs x thanks for sharing😊

[@SonyaM7]

You could just pop some winter greens in the grow bags

[@louisekaye9051]

I didn't understand the cheese joke so paused the vlog, asked my husband then googled the joke.... just to unpause to you saying "applewood cheese" 😂😅😂.

[@christinetinkler9603]

It’s Applewood smoked cheese I do believe, I’m sure I’ve had some at sometime xx

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Love apple and pear blossom so lovely❤

[@fayreid6953]

❤

[@LauraDarnall-n4j]

I wish to say MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 to my favorite KZbin videos Chanel friend in Shropshire England from Laura Darnall in Iowa

[@JaneJefferies]

Hi Elliot and Matt nice to see you guys .love to see your chuchies.I want to try the Katkin can't find the code .yes I would have the cheese calender .I want one of those Andrew James thankyou loved this 😊😍💖💖

[@atristram54316]

Random question..love your lounge carpet which brand/style is it and where is it from please? (hope you don't mind me asking!) Love your vids x

[@phineas117]

Canada Royal Mail is on strike for salaries. Elliot aren't crockpots a thing in Britain? personally I love mine. if you set it up at the time you get up, it would be done for tea or supper. we have the same over the door hook. I use it all year for different decorations. to me charcoal biscuits taste smoky. would do with a Mexican themed cheese. for herbs, pick the sunniest, driest area.

[@diananail778]

Canada is union postal service on strike

[@HelenIsaacs-l9e]

Elliott and Matt if you want take away go for it and don’t worry about other people’s opinions

[@beckymungo1333]

Try banana Foster,you both would love it. Google that recipe.

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Awwe have a good gym Matt o ve elliot ❤❤ xmas kisses💋💋

[@dakotatwilight]

Your dislike of the bananas from the store might be because they get picked way too green since they ripen fast. I haven't liked them since they started doing that. I prefer to buy organic and use the over ripen ones in steamed puddings and banana bread, when I do buy any. I would have found your cheese advent calendar a bit disappointing that it isn't more varied, maybe soft cheeses might get bad faster so they avoided them? I feel bad for everyone who is dependent on Canadian post with their postal strike. Well you still eat your yogurt so that does a great deal towards your health. And Christmas season is meant to be enjoyed. As long as you have a goal all is good. I am happy you love your French press, personally I can't stand French press taste, I still do my hand pour coffee with water heated at 80°C for two small cups a day, it helps with my autoimmune. But I am a tea with milk girl and prefer that and my Japanese green tea. I love your garden in every season. Look into companion planting with gardening, I found it very productive and less trouble with insects and such. It goes well with raised beds. There is both companion planting for flowers and veggies.

[@MargaretLittle-m7y]

What has happened to Eliot’s hair lately, he looks like he’s got a bonnet on , he needs a good hair stylist

[@dawnwoods628]

Don't be soo mean 😢

[@mariasphikas484]

I actually LOL at the joke, didn’t laugh at the joke that wasn’t funny at all, Elliot it was your face at the punchline absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂

[@the_oslovian]

Is there a way for us to send you a Christmas card now? I really would want to ❤️

[@susanlilley3588]

Think u should make banana bread if u aren't keen on eating bananas whole 😊

[@lindakirk698]

OMG you two eat far too much junk & fast takeaway food (its not really good though is it?) You could have put something in a slow cooker to be ready for when you got home. Its so easy to prepare for a lovely nutritious meal.

[@stephenjohnson7288]

Matt

[@AngelEyes-b2f]

Hi Elliot, I'm pleased to see you are eating more fruit. I work full-time and still manage to fit in my 5 a day, which includes fruit and vegetables. I caught the dreaded virus at exactly the same time as you did. Luckily, the antibiotics worked brilliantly on myself and my family even though it left us feeling lethargic for a few weeks. Our immune system was strong enough to fight the virus without having a single virus jab. We have never suffered from depression or anxiety due to eating healthily for most of our lives. I love the odd biscuit, chocolate, or desert and treat myself to a Chinese meal once a month. Believe me, healthy eating does pay off. What we put on the inside shows on the outside. People even knock 10 years off our true age, that's without botox or cosmetic procedures.

[@cbfranke66]

I am not a fan of banana. I does not "sit" well with me.

[@elizabethsavage9108]

Becareful you don’t put your bins out too early and your neighbours use them too although they have inherited a bin twice the size ? 😂

[@ElliotNMatt]

Do you know something I don’t?

[@elizabethsavage9108]

@ we queued for an hour in lockdown at the skip to clear stuff and our neighbour at no 3 put crap in our black bin , sorry to moan but you guys are so nice

[@ElliotNMatt]

I’d have removed anything deposited in our bin and gave it back to them. We have ring doorbell camera so could easily have proof ☺️

[@dionnevoller2903]

Love you both - but I honestly think your hair so long and weird at the front isn’t a good look for you - it was much cuter shorter

[@MAGGS67L]

Stopped shopping in Boots,, They have gone so woke in their Christmas advert 🧡🧡🧡🧡
