[@donnajohnson9834]

Her fur looks shinier too! Thanks for fitting vlogmas into your busy days! It’s a moment of quiet and joy.

[@intheyellowcorner]

I don't know how you find the time to do all that and still film for us. You're amazing, Jana! The Strainer is still making me smile. 😂

Happy to hear that Laima has relaxed and starts to feel that she is in her forever home.

[@pennydavies6253]

You would never believe Laima has had another home. So thrilled for you all. She just looks as though she’s always been with you. ❤

[@cherieredelings5714]

Your podcast always makes me smile - no matter how long or short it is and no matter how many knitting-related items there are. I am so glad your mom is there and that Laima is doing so well!

[@debracubitt6191]

Laima and Jackie are furry gifts of love ❤️ 💖

[@Liz.Green789]

I love your pine cone ornaments. I use some, too. Laima looks happy. Jackie, too. Your short check ins are still wonderful. You've been my favorite this year. Thank you for sharing your family with us. The dogs especially. See you tomorrow.

Me with a big silly grin watch8ng the tea battles! 😂🤣 Loved hearing Lamia is gaining so well! I’m sure she is feeling so much better! Bonding will take time, but she will.

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

Jana, your blogmas is totally lovely and real. I’m amazed how much you squeeze into each day. ❤

Laima is a very lucky dog. She came to the right place. ❤

Thanks Jana. Hope you have a relaxing weekend with your mom helping out. 😊

[@debracubitt6191]

Oh I love the bookstore so much!

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Laima, that is a significant gain. 👍👍I hear that you seem to be settling in very nicely. Poor Teemu got poked by the tea bandit. ☺️😮 See you tomorrow. ❤

[@SuzanneTheme]

Glad you are feeling better 😊 Enjoy your time with family 😊 Merry Christmas 😊

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Congratulations on the weight gain and calming of Laima. I used to buy the special books as you do now. Youngest is 25, neither took the books so I have boxes of books I can't part with and have pretty much memorized. Love Frannies tableau

[@debracubitt6191]

[@jillipepper5353]

Thank you for doing Vlogmas for us even though you haven’t been feeling well, it’s really appreciated🥰. It’s so great Laima fit in so fast and Jackie is adjusting well , that makes the adoption process much easier. Enjoy your family, that’s the most important thing❤️. We got a foot of snow and it hasn’t rained away so 🤞🤞🤞🤞it lasts till Christmas Day. The tree is beautiful, ours is sparsely decorated with unbreakable ornaments this year as the kittens are still very playful and have been climbing it frequently. 😂🤣🙋🏼‍♀️

[@jilliankonig2759]

Good for you to be so busy with family activities that you didn't have time to film. Merry Christmas! Glad that Laima is doing well with adjusting. I love Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. I don't think it's available in Finnish, but it tells about the adventure snowmen have while we're sleeping. I made Christmas bags starting over 30 years ago. As my sons grew up, we started needing smaller bags to hold DVDs instead of big toys. Even other family members started making bags when they sent my boys gifts. I have quite a collection now!

[@catherinecunningham7126]

Did we just see part of your mama? ❤ Glad you are feeling better, Jana! I love your tradition of the PJ’s and books on Christmas Eve, very neat! 🌻🎄

[@uterick-seleck2541]

I got stressed out by all tea monster 😂. Have a calm Sunday with a lot of knitting time, or whatever you like to do.

[@sanneversnel4150]

I’ve bought the Grompus as well, that Christmas book for Bruno! I have got the Dutch version of it, I will start today with reading it ❤

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Fabulous weight gain Jana, that’s the whole weight of one of my dogs. 😆 Lovely Franny display. .

[@debracubitt6191]

Laima is thinking "WOW my pack my family brought a tree inside our house to enjoy. NICE. I wonder why....??"🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🏠🎅🤶💤💫

Hello !! Love your vlogmas, I have a question, is it a Finnish tradition to have a christmas tree so close to christmas ? Here in Canada, people buy the christmas tree in Novembre hihi

[@vivianpowell1732]

Here where I am in South Carolina USA many folks have gotten into the custom of putting up their Christmas trees right after Thanksgiving, which is observed on the fourth Thursday in November. My family usually waited until around the 15th of December to put up our Christmas tree. We would leave it up until Epiphany on January 6th. So altogether it was up about 3 weeks. Nowadays with my family having passed away, I sometimes put up a small table tree, or place a greenery wreath and a few Christmas figurines around the house instead of a tree. I like seeing that some Jewish families in my area put their lighted menorah in a front window during Hanukkah. Hanukkah is falling later this year, starting on the evening of December 25th.
