[@norcal0076]

Merry Christmas🎄🎉 Charlie gets husband of the year for his festive fun!

[@semicountryliving3095]

Josie, only you can make gingerbread cookies while in a velvet dress without getting anything on it!😘

[@lucindawolff8109]

Hi, seeing you and Charlie taking your grandparents and parents around after tea in the little Rolls Royce, melted my heart and brought tears-wishing I had my parents and grandparents too, but do not. Have a great holiday, Lucinda from North Lake Tahoe, CA, USA

[@debbytownsend2907]

I am sad today too as I know your vlogmas is coming to an end, it’s been absolutely amazing, thank you Josie

[@Alicia-bi4rq]

Looking so gorgeous, Josie, you're making this Christmas season even more magical I used to follow Sophie until I saw a photo of herself at a party during full lock down when I had just lost a loved one, it just hit me hard seeing all these women partying. You're too hard on yourself btw, your hair looks beautiful any way you wear it 😍

[@susansalvatore4363]

Just so lovely the thought Charlie puts into your calendar….thank you both for sharing this touching tradition with us!

[@thearistocratgrows8651]

Thank you overmuch for these daily vlogs. I lost my beloved shadow(black and white cat) two months ago and my Grandmother last December. Your energy really helped me through my grief and you inspired me to arrange trips and surround myself with things that bring me joy.

[@lasusurradoradegatos]

When I was a child I used to see the film Casper over and over because I was absolutely in love with the house, all these hidden corridors and rooms...and I must say I feel the same way about your house, it's just magical and so exciting to see that there's a little stair behind a door that leads to another door with another corridor with more rooms that we didn't see. I'm totally hooked to this vlogmas just to discover how magical and enchanted your house seems, it's the loveliest labirinth! I totally get why you love it so much. I will miss vlogmas so much, thank you for sharing it with us, it's been magical! Merry Christmas!

[@sandraammons6672]

Josie, how can you not keep from smacking him on the lips and a Hugh hug for all those wonderful gifts😍🥰❤️🎄🎁

[@katrinawest487]

I cannot tell you how much joy your vlogmas brings to me, even though Christmas and new year have passed I am still enjoying every minute, you really are the best and I love the face you pulled when your avalanche of cosmetics fell over, so sweet, your a joy xxxx❤

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

Fully realizing how much time, energy, and commitment these vlogs take, I would like to thank you. I have so enjoyed a little bit of your life and especially the doggies. I think that they may have formed their own fan club by now. They are just two of the cutest clowns ever! Wishing you and your whole family the happiest of Christmas’, and a very healthy New Year. Looking forward to all your fabulous posts in 23.

[@trich601]

It has been an absolute treat to have a Josie, Charlie, Dexter, & Dicken's video everyday this month! I am going to be so sad to not see all of you everyday. It has made my holiday so special thank you for all your hard work and dedication! Merry Christmas & Happy New year 🎄🎄🥰🥰

Giving your little man a ginger biscuit before traveling can stop sickness ..miracle cure ! My Vet told me this trick

[@fashionfashionguru]

That velvet dress looks stunning on you! And the hair you were experimenting with on the first day looked very 90’s glam with all that volume at the crown wowza ❤. Also i dont mind the clunkiness of the gingerbread car you are working on, i think it adds charm to it and it’ll look fun however it ends up looking like in the end.

[@lynnesfitness372]

I used the Dyson air wrap but used my COLD conair hot curlers that are smooth and don’t have teeth. This way you don’t pull your hair. Had curls all day! The Velcro curlers pull the curl out.

[@janetklein9697]

How blessed Charlie is to have his parents and grandparents. I had grandma’s but never grandfather’s. What a absolutely wonderful day.

[@barbaraburnett1625]

I use velcro rollers daily on dry hair and you dont comb it. Just run your fingers through it and it's perfect! Merry Christmas 🎅🎅🎅🎅

[@balletfitwithtalisha]

Hi Josie 💗. I love the way your hair looked; bouncy and voluminous - very nice! And O my goodness, Charlie is such a sweetheart, amazing advent calendar gifts! Please do a video like your old one where you chat together & answer frequently asked questions & tell us more about your families etc.

[@helenstella2666]

Oh I’m so going to miss this wonderful intro .. just love it ☺️ Wonderful family times making happy memories 🥰🎄🐾🐾

[@MadameJohnnyDepp]

It's so sweet that they brought Charlie's grandparents to the Fairmont. The Fairmont hotel looks stunning! ❤

[@spencerhall2049]

I have naturally curly hair and only ever use a wide toothed comb on my hair and only when it's wet to comb through conditioner. Once it's dry, I only ever use my fingers and would never use a brush. I've tried every product out there and find Cantu a great brand for me but it's trial and error for which ones as hair is so personal. Super moisturised and regular trims are key.

[@shireensilva392]

i have loved vlogmas especially the advent calendar - charlie has done so well .. husband of the year award ! seeing both of you and the fur babies in every clog has been a treat ..

[@ginahamlyn2569]

You guys are quite the pros at this. Loving Vlogmas, will be so sad when it ends.

[@carolmau2159]

It’s good to know that there is someone else in the world who can be productive in her dressing gown. I sometimes don’t get dressed until nearly noon, but I’ve gotten a lot done!

[@charovazquez2452]

How very hard you work, astonishing! Thank you so much for so many ideas you show us!! Merry, Merry Christmas!!!

[@tamaraljubisic8134]

Josie! I don't often comment BUT this vlog was just so beautiful and the Fairmont was just gorgeous. Thank you for sharing so much. You are a lovely hostess to these adventures and there is no element that disappoints. You have inspired me at times over the year to dress up a little more, cook/bake a little more and slow down to enjoy my own life- a little more. Enjoy your holiday and blessings to you, Charlie, the boys, LaLa ... from one of your admirers in Dallas.

[@joannamccolvin3194]

I love vlogmas Josie, just because we get to see Charlie, yourself and the boys every day. Don't know how I'm going to cope with going back to your usual vlogs each week. You look stunning in your green velvet Amazon dress, so beautiful and classic. Love the slightly darker lip colour, suits you so well. Merry Christmas to Charlie, Dexter and Dickins, LaLa and yourself xx

[@Vickiboe592]

Love watching you experiment with the hair tools. I’m also trying different techniques to get the best curl. I’ll try this one you’re showing today. ❤

[@xMichelex]

Sophie Stanbury was in the show Ladies of London, in case you didn't know Josie. She has the most fabulous hair!! I have serious hair envy when she does her tutorials. She always uses heated rollers, well she used to. Anyway, another fab vlog!

[@dianebaker5243]

That was a really lovely family afternoon tea. 🎄❄️☃️

[@Mrmkndr]

The intro makes me emotional every single day it’s so beautiful, simple and authentic..the real you (Josie and Charlie) ❤ I hope you will use the same song for 2023 Vlogmas 😄🥰

[@dh40]

Love this Vlog! You covered a lot. And your emerald green dress fits you to perfection. Isn't it sweet that Charlie still has his Grandpa ... I envy him 😘 Josie and Charlie, I wish you the most blessed Christmas 🎄☃️🎄

[@janaculbreth007]

I feel somewhat of a stalker when I know where the gifts are before Josie does. Haha we are very detailed fans and we pay attention!! I will miss you guys!!! I love all of your videos!! Also I didn’t even mind Charlie breathing in my ear!! (Haha I was listening with ear buds on!!!). This has been so fun and I hate to see them end!! Just sit a camera up somewhere and let us watch your everyday routines. Lol.

[@tarotmeraki246]

O.M.G Charlie was making mac&cheese with pesto....bigbaraboom...I didn't even see it. the defender is beautiful, now that the snow is gone, the defender has all the snow, congratulations. everything is beautiful as always. especially the landscape from the hotel on the cart ride looked like south Africa....🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@rose2fame1]

Hi Josie and Charlie, that was nice of you to treat everyone to afternoon tea. It looked very nice. It was nice of them to take you for a tour of the grounds also. Have a great day.

[@teresahalliday3680]

Josie...I get so nervous when you cook and garden in white dresses or make gingerbread in a velvet dress without an apron!! You certainly are brave and steadyhanded! I'd be a mess. Your afternoon tea was so lovely and I'm sure that it was a festive time for all!

[@kikim2749]

I love your Defender, even on the assembly line! In the US one can find long wooden strips at 1/4, 1/2" that you put on either side of the dough you are rolling out. They ensure your rolling pin both goes to and not thinner than the depth you want your dough. Alternatively, you can have your carpenter rip them on a tablesaw. They are game changers when you roll dough. They also have rubber rings t hat you can put on the ends of your rolling pin that serve the same purpose. I do not prefer those. Happy Christmas 🎄.

[@biancagabris2119]

Thank you for your wonderful Vlogmas Josie! You are SO talented. It was also fun to see the great things Charlie did for you with the Advent Calendar. Well thought out. Merry Christmas to you both and of course to your handsome Sausages as well! Hope you guys are able to have some relaxation over the Holidays ❤

[@aditiharithasa]

Love your vlogs ! Happy Christmas 🎄

[@mehshaz]

I have really enjoyed your blogs and the effort you put into them compared to others whom I have stopped watching. I haven’t found a single blog boring and your have really entertained us this Christmas.

[@helenmcmahon2498]

Merry Christmas to you Josie, Charlie & the boys. Your vlogmas is the best! 🎄🌲🎄

[@janetpartyka5968]

Oh how nice you could spend it with Nan and Granddad. What a beautiful memory. Love, The U.S.

[@sianblagden7850]

Well I can no longer watch the vlogs….cream before jam?!?! Bleddy wrongen’ 😂 thank u for working so hard during vlogmas, glorious as ever ❤

[@carebear702]

Thank You Josie, Charlie, Dexter, and Dickens for sharing your Holiday season with us all. You have won vlogmas in my book. Everyday has been a gift. Love you all! ❤️❤️

[@javius2000]

We love even your "boring" Vlogs :) Happy Christmas to you and your Family!

[@emerkelly4916]

Jisie and Charlie wonderful as always. Wishing you both and your families a very happy Christmas 🎄 thank you for all the joy you bring.

[@samantha_budhu]

Lovely vlog Josie. You look beautiful in your velvet dress! 🎄❤️👗✨

[@edelconroy6047]

Such a lovely vlogmas, Charlie's grandparents are so fab, the afternoon tea looked delicious 🤤🤤😋😋

[@nellasisowath8662]

Merry Christmas to you, So Lovely Josie and Charlie and yours !!! The Rolls Royce "voiturette" is absolutely amazing !!! And the best of course !!! Thank you for sharing. With my warm and best wishes.

[@zarebear]

Loved the video Josie! 🥰 You can try using your heated rollers (not turned on) as the rollers. They’re velvet so they may not tug as much

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

You looked amazing in your velvet dress & very stunning shoes/ bag 😊 What a Beautiful place, To have afternoon tea, i bet its very very busy in the spring / summer months I still think your Defender looks Brilliant ,definitely a great attempt Josie 💕 , looking forward to seeing the end Result . Can’t believe we are nearing the end of your vlogmas , its been such a joy to watch each day . You Both deserve a huge Break after this 😜 can’t Thank you enough for bringing us along & your hard work behind the scenes getting all your videos up etc . 🥰

[@annettebeauregard97]

Charlie's parents xmas tree..my goodness me! excellent

[@lindawilliams5062]

I was only thinking this morning how your vlogs are so authentic and that you are just vlogging your everyday lives unlike a lot of others who will do things just so they can get a video out Xx

[@anaz8749]

Dear Josie , Ahh ! New blog from my favourite KZbinr I’m obsessed in your channel ❤🇨🇦

[@lisachild6098]

Do not worry about your vlogging skills not being grt Charlie you narration is always grt whilst on camera duty - v witty & your filming is good - enjoy you getting involved in the vlogs because you always come across as yourself.

[@AjayKmc]

Great volume with rollers. Keep that look. Always use completely dry hair only with any type of rollers or hair tongs. Lock in volume at the roots and curls with a good hairspray before and after pinning hair and definitely after removing rollers. You can use a curl cream on the curls (not roots) when finish styling so the curls stay put.

[@dwhome21]

I wanted to share, i have lost so much in the last few years. I so much enjoy watching your gorgeous and happy life of love and fun. Blessings to you and your family in the next year ❤

[@americafirst9144]

Hope this is a splendid year for you.

[@christinepickard7804]

Josie when I find your uploaded Vlogmas video on notification it's my happy day.🌲🎀🎄

[@renovatinghouses]

It would be great to make a Wade Whhimsey , old vintage villages and houses , mini figurines collection !!

[@authorveronique]

Laughing so much (at myself) - I look at your efforts and you are way more courageous than me with hair experimentation! Mine had stopped years ago at: flat iron hair ;) Biggest thank you to you and Charlie for your hard work of many hours of filming to grant us of these cheerful Christmas vlogs - once again, this year. May the both of you be blessed with good health (foremost), much love, and happiness during the Holidays.

[@dwhome21]

Can we have a New Years month of vlogmas? Going to miss your vlogmas. Merry Christmas to you and Charlie and your puppy loves. ❤

[@kyliestark7356]

If you put doggies in high dog car seats they often don’t get sick as they can see out and be better orientated. Xxx

[@gemlin8838]

Going to miss this intro, love every single shot 😍

[@wendybrookes1878]

Just loved all the vlogs. Thanks so much and Charlie is wonderful. What a team you are.

[@tamaralewis-campbell9457]

I think the darker lip on you looks lovely. I've enjoyed every moment of Vlogmas.

[@leanney3763]

Beautiful manor definitely going to go there in new year for few nights. Enjoyed all your videos this month. Wishing you both a happy holiday and new year! Look forward to next year and what you have in store in garden and house. Blessings to you both 🙏🥰❤️

[@EEN63]

If your hair is wet or even slightly damp, I doubt you will get the results you desire. If you are using a hair tool that curls and dries at the same time, that’s certainly a different story. But my years of experience with hot rollers, dry hair is essential. I even bought a set that used “steam” and you added water to the hot roller set to create the steam, and I had horrible results because even the moisture in the roller was too wet to achieve curls that lasted past styling after taking out the rollers. I always added my styling products... heat protectant, moose, gels, etc. before drying. I did find success spraying a bit of hairspray before and/or after curling. Bottom line, make sure your hair is fully dry prior to hot rollers and fully cooled before combing or brushing or shaking your head and finger combing. This worked for my fine hair but I don’t have the quantity you have, so perhaps less hair per roller might help too. Good luck!

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

I couldn’t see are the dogs fixed to the back seat belts ? With a dog harness? They might be better with less movement.. We move dogs in a cage in the rear and they seem to settle better there … I’ve been looking for dog car seats and harness for the back seats . The afternoon tea looked amazing .

[@mfes14]

Your are both such a beautiful couple … and have such lovely family surrounding you

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

The velvet dress is stunning on you.

[@madstarules]

Josie just a tip with the rollers- Velcro rollers normally are amazing for root lift and bounce but for more curl it’s often better to just roll the hair up and clip it often the Velcro rollers pull curl out in straighter hair types- but lovely for root lift :)

[@barbaraash6191]

Lovely video today! I also tried the Velcro curlers, but I have fine hair & when I took them out they were tangled in my hair! Moving on to smooth plastic curlers! Take care!💕

[@valeriasiri3630]

Merry Christmas!!! both ! and Lala and all your family ! thanks for share all your lovely real content!, and charlie got the gold cup for a sweet fianse with the care of you and his family!

[@terrilee36]

I love spending December with you and your family. Love Christmas in the Cotswolds.

[@emilyallen8436]

A tip when rolling out dough and needing uniformity.....put the dough between something (like chopsticks) and roll them out using your something (like chopsticks haha). Maybe pieces of scrap wood or molding, cutting...Hopefully, you get the idea. There are youtube videos that are much more informative than my mad ramblings. Lol. Your Defender looks good, overall! You were talking about your productive, but boring for us day. Speaking for only myself, I love a good "clean or tidy with me". There is an entire market for just that kind of thing. But with you, it would be a really real thing. And there's something so interesting to me about how people do their basic, normal, monotonous things. Though, I've never been accused of being normal. Lol. And your green dress is beautiful! Very lovely. I appreciate that you present affordable and accessible things as well. One more thing...lol. If you've never made scones, do. They are so easy amd so impressive. Biggest tip...freeze your butter, after you get the dry ingredients, cut in your butter (pinch it like you would a crumble topping) and put it back in the freezer while you mix the wet and let the oven heat up. They'll melt in your mouth. A base recipe can be sweeten or made savory.

[@lisahennis4107]

Merry Christmas !!

[@theWoodrow321]

I just enjoy listening to your voice. It's very pleasant, and soothing. Happy Holidays to You and Yours.

[@denisebutler2060]

Your home is stunning absolutely stunning we get to see its beauty during your walk about finding your surprise advent gifts which I love... so much fun to watch and so kind of Charlie to do all this for you Josie.... You are such a lovely couple ... Your Christmas blogs have been amazing. 🎄🥂❤️❤️

[@ribbonsandflowers]

Hi Josie, check out some TikTok videos on how to 'twist' out the rollers rather than just pulling them downwards. This will help with the tugging on your hair, plus keeps the bouncy curl in the ends better! Merry Christmas

[@rosalineslon6910]

Josie because the humidity on the ambiance your hair is not letting that the curls stay. You need to put something for stop the humidity before you use the curls and use a firm mousse. Thank you for sharing this nice trip. Which are your number 10th tea place please and thank you.

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

Great vlog really love Charlie advent calendar for you . Well thought out and carried out loved it. ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥 the defender was done well Josie

[@marielonergan1390]

Very stweet of Charlie with the presents and the heavy breathing is so funny x

[@marielonergan1390]

Ps you look beautiful joise

[@sandraammons6672]

Hair looks great! Wonderful volume. Loved all your volgmas videos. Merry Christmas to you and Charlie. You both bring something special to the season from far away. Since you were in Tennessee not long ago, I am in the lower part of Alabama. Didn’t have any snow, but enjoyed admiring yours. Your hair also looks beautiful straight. Many blessings 🎄🎄🧑🏻‍🎄

[@cheerfulgirl8835]

I have to let hair accumulate on my Velcro rollers so they don’t pull my hair out after the first few times. If I keep removing the hair, it keeps pulling out my hair. It may bother some people but it’s the only way I’ve found to have them work fabulously!! Hope that helps! I’ve so enjoyed all of Vlogmas:) Thanks so much!!

[@Ceaaa22]

Re the gingerbread Defender, you could just say it got into a Christmas traffic incident !

[@louloubell7288]

I give my boy a ginger nut biscuit about 20 minutes before setting off, for his car sickness 🐶🥰

[@Kim-rc8ym]

Ha! My 2 little dogs & nieces ephews LOVE ginger nut biccies You'd think not because of the ginger!

[@carolwood9270]

I love that lip colour that you said was too dark. Gorgeous 😊

[@wendynicholls6231]

Sorry Josie it’s jam first then cream 😀

[@reneemarais431]

Josey, try doing the rollers horisontally or tights the way you use the heatless thingemajigg.

[@loredepalo4080]

Do you find that your Velcro rollers pull out your hair? The rollers I use pull quite a lot of hair out when removing them. Thank you

[@valeriesansaturnino7817]
