Flosstube #17: Priscilla & Chelsea-The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch

[@Thorncrest1]

So many traditions, Christmas Eve service, Christmas Eve snacking, watching all the old Christmas movies are just a few of my favorites.

[@taratoney1862]

My MOST favorite Christmas tradition is we go to my grandmas house every Christmas Eve. She is 85 years old and will be hosting it this year as always. I have been there every year for 46 years including the year I was in mom’s belly! I can not imagine the time when that will no longer happen. I am so fortunate and blessed to have both my mom and grandma. My second is making the buckeyes. They are a HUGE hit and I just love that my family loves them so much. Love your videos ladies!!!

[@jennifer2551]

My favorite tradition is watching my kids open their gifts from Santa and having a big breakfast afterwards!

[@marvaweir2656]

My favorite tradition is having my adult children come over Christmas morning to have breakfast, open presents and spend the day visiting and playing games. Another great video today ladies! Can't wait to see the winter chalk Priscilla!

[@lorigriffore2312]

my favorite tradition is having the family here.....eating holiday cooking......baking cookies and giving out trays of them to family and friends......lovely video and stitching ladies!

[@barbarastrahan1688]

I call everyone I know at 3 am and tell them Merry Christmas and hang up. Thats my favorite Christmas tradition.

[@wildflower.stitching]

My favorite tradition is decorating the tree with my son. He's eighteen now but he still will have an opinion on it and want to be involved with planning and decorating. Over the years we have made Christms tree decorations and those are still some of my most favorite ones. I love how ya'll make it so festive and homey. Priscilla, your finishes are just beautiful! Thank you for continuing to inspire me to think even more out of the box. :)

[@JuniperGraceAnn]

My favourite Christmas tradition is reading the GIANT Christmas book that my grandma gave me as a child. It has stories, recipes, crafts, and an advent story ... basically the best!

[@craftycatstitcher6658]

Love your answer to the request to see the back of your stitching: "I don't have time for that". I laughed out loud because I'm with you on that! My favorite Christmas tradition is doing a little paying it forward for someone in need. Sometimes we shop for kids in Georgia's foster system, and last year we helped a family who needed a little boost. Of course I also love the decorating, eating, and spending time with family and friends. Enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@sevenmotions]

My favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the tree with my husband. The rest of the season is so busy, and it is a night for just the two of us! Great video as always!

[@nancyfischer6211]

My favorite tradition is the decorating with my vintage ornaments and santas. Great inspiring podcast, thank you!!

[@cyndemarschner990]

Hi,Priscilla and Chelsea! My favorite tradition is having the kids open one gift on Christmas Eve! Love the shirts!

[@dydnas1]

My favorite Christmas Tradition is getting all together on Christmas Eve with family. We have an food, games, gifts. Love it

[@carla_mc]

Chelsea your stitching is really coming along. I am impressed by how much you have accomplished in such a short time. Of course Priscilla's finishes are just awesome, I love the little dresses you made for the gingerbread dolls. Thanks for sharing.

[@gloriahensley5509]

My favorite Christmas tradition is going for a drive on Christmas Eve to see all the beautiful lights. Love decorating; baking; the music; just love it all!

[@pamelaspearing9119]

I have always given my kids a wrapped ornament every Christmas eve to open and then hang on the tree. As the years went by it was sweet to see them hang them all and hear them say, oh I remember this! I was into baseball or skating, or whatever memory it would bring to mind for them. After they settled into their own homes I wrapped the ornaments in layers of tissue paper and that was their Christmas eve gift that year. Now I try to do the same for my grand kids, but they also get a Christmas movie, pjs, slipper socks, popcorn and hot chocolate mix with a bag of mini marshmallows, plus a candy cane for stirring LOL.

[@mylittlestitchyworld9404]

My favorite Christmas tradition is seeing the Christmas lights in the neighborhood as a kid. My dad would drive us around in all the neighborhoods that had amazing lights. My husband and I continued the tradition with our two boys. I sure miss them being little. Beautiful Christmas stitching ladies!

[@christydonnay6179]

My favorite Christmas tradition is driving around to check out all the holiday light displays and then coming home to a Christmas movie and a hot cup of cider.

[@laurarussell716]

Love all the things! When my kids were little we would open new PJs on Christmas Eve night and then decorate our cookies for Santa! TFS!

[@stitchingbettynos]

My favorite Christmas tradition is there is one special gift from 'Santa' after all the gifts from family and friends are opened. After we come back in the evening from family dinner, the gift has magically appeared under the tree or a hint of where it can be found. I started this with out son. He turns 31 tomorrow and it has continued to this day.

[@Mttt179]

My favourite Christmas tradition is making a scented countdown candle and everyday has a new sent

[@missylucas9449]

My favorite Christmas tradition is watching my kids excitement on Christmas morning!!!

[@tammimattox397]

We love doing all of the traditional Christmas traditions, but our favorite silly tradition is my that husband and I and our three sons (now joined by our three daughters in law) all sit down together and watch Chevy Chases' "Christmas Vacation". We laugh together all the way through it every year!

[@moosemom2010]

Another great one! One of my favorite traditions is that I make an ornament each year with my grandkids name and date on them. That way when the are out on their own on day, they will have a tree full of ornaments that I made for them. They are not all cross stitch ones-lots of different kinds. I make 6 grandkids ones each year and one for each of the three families.

[@susansolloway6262]

Lovely to see you happy ladies. Your t shirts are very cool. Love those adorable bears. And love your finishes.

[@pjstitcher8364]

One of my many favorite Christmas traditions is going to my brother's house on Christmas Eve to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We all go for dinner and this year my Mom will be 89 years old. It's always fun and for the past few years there are more and more great grandchildren to sing and to help my Mom blow out the candles (not that she needs help). I am blessed each year that we are able to continue this tradition.

[@tonispywriter]

My favorite Christmas tradition is one they do on Days of Our Lives. The entire family, all generations, each have an ornament with their name on it. They all get together and each hangs their own ornaments or ornaments from family members who have past. It is just so heartwarming.

[@arettaalibrando7642]

Our favorite family tradition growing up in Columbus Ohio was to go downtown and see the animated windows at the Lazarus Store, drive around and see some decorated homes after Christmas Eve service at church

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

I love your shirts. :) and I love your WIPS and the finished ornaments! NICE!

[@phyllislundy7392]

Baking cookies is one of my favorite traditions. When my kids were little we always made and decorated sugar cookies. Such fun times!

[@claudiam146]

I would love to see the snow....it's 80 degrees here today! Good job on the shirts Chelsea, they sparkle just like y'all. It just couldn't be Christmas until the cookies were made and decorated as a family. I'm so happy to say my 3 daughters have continued the tradition!!

[@ellenpetersstitcher]

Your videos always make me smile- thank you! My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the house while listening to Christmas music!

[@VictoriasCraftyRoom]

My favorite tradition is playing "The Dirty Santa Game" with my family! Love you guys videos!!

[@karencox4447]

My favourite Christmas tradition is walking around the neighbourhood on Christmas Eve to see everyone's Christmas lights

[@keriphillips4415]

Favorite tradition when I was a kid... Christmas Eve we would go to the Dutch Pancake house, go to tell Enchanted Forest, shop for all the stocking stuff then cook goodies all day. I miss the good ole days!

[@mischievousstitches]

Love the shirts! Chelsea, you did a wonderful job with them.

[@giselem.kusmik5110]

I️ love that we each opened one present before midnight mass. We could choose any one of them. (Santa’s gifts were not there yet). Thanks for the fun video ladies! Chelsea the matchie shirts are Awesome! Bling and all! 😂🤣😊💕

[@TheSewingPrincess]

We have lots of traditions and I love them all! Going to church on Christmas Eve and having the family and extended family over for dinner afterward...old fashioneds, good food, opening gifts, and playing games!

[@stacyjones699]

My favorite Christmas tradition is making ornaments. My grandma made me an ornament every year. This year I've made ornaments for family. Love the matching shirts!

[@karihanson2721]

Favorite traditions are baking cookies, making candy, christmas eve service, and stockings on christmas morning!

[@susanoberfell9861]

making by grandmother's cheesecake is the best tradition! thanks for another awesome video!

[@colleenarnold4915]

My favorite tradition was putting the stockings on the kids beds after they were asleep so when they woke up at 5am, they were kept busy for an hour playing with everything Santa put in the stocking. That way mom & dad got an extra hour of sleep!!!!!

[@elizabethbrum9258]

Love watching your videos!! My favorite tradition is hiding the pickle ornament in the tree.

[@brendatomlinson2400]

Love the shirts! Enjoyed hearing you chicken stories too. At one time so had Rhode Island Reds...for the brown eggs. I loved letting them out to scratch around and the girls would follow me when I was gardening. It's my hope to move and have chickens again sometime. I would be an egg snob too Chelsea!

[@31ninetyeighty]

My favrioute Christmas tradition is decorating the house and seeing all the light. It's just a great season. Love your videos. Thank you so much. Happy thanksgiving, Claudia

[@allisoncorbin4363]

My favorite Christmas tradition is actually on Christmas Eve. Every year after our huge Christmas Eve meal, my parents would give us our first gift--Christmas pajamas, an ornament, and a small toy/craft to keep us busy till bedtime. I'm continuing the tradition in my family. My second daughter was born this June, so I already got both girls matching footie Christmas pajamas, and I've stitched them both an ornament (and an planning on one more for each of them). There's something special about that new warm pair of pjs....And much like on my own tree on which I hang my childhood ornaments, I hope both of my girls will treasure and hang the ornaments i make them on their own family Christmas trees someday.

[@tifab4066]

My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating my Christmas tree. 2 years ago when I moved to college I got my first tree ever. We've always lived in a small house with no basement or attic and don't have storage space so that was always my mom's excuse for not decorating. So when I got my own place I was determined to decorate for the holidays. We do have a fake pre-lit Christmas tree now that my uncle got us and I love it. So now I get to decorate it! I've been making a lot of cross stitch ornaments this year for my tree and for gifts. Cause' my other favorite tradition is giving gifts! I'd rather give then receive and I really love to put a lot thought into my gifts. I mean I sneakily ask people questions about things that they like so I can get ideas without them realizing I'm storing gift ideas in my head :P Nothing is more special than a gift that comes from the heart

[@paigebramstedt2424]

Favorite Christmas Tradition: Going out to a Christmas Tree farm and chopping down our own tree! It's so fun to go walk around in the snow and pick a tree for our house!

[@Brin4011]

Hi! I loved the chalkboard peice! My favorite tradition is being with the family around the Christmas tree drinking eggnog and eating cookies😊

[@BasicStitches]

You guys are my favorite to watch! You always make me laugh with your silly banter. 😂 My 3 year old daughter wanted me to let Chelsea know that she’s really pretty.

[@Bereagal1]

Thanks for another wonderful video ladies! My favorite Christmas tradition was loading up the kids and driving around to see the lights and coming back home to watch Christmas movies before bed. I'm a single mom now and the kids and i still continue our tradition. Happy Thanksgiving to you ladies and your families!

[@brandistoker]

Christmas Eve is my favorite tradition. We gather at Mom and Dad's for a big dinner and gifts. Your shirts are adorable.

[@janicekramer4685]

Those shirts are adorable!!! My favorite tradition is somewhat new - I love to make simple Christmas ornaments with my sweet little grandson. He has a tree in his bedroom and likes to hang them on his very own tree. Love Christmas time and all things Christmas related!

[@sharonschultz110]

Putting up the tree and village, is my favorite Christmas tradition. Also watching Polar Express with grandkids.

[@terzalowdermilk9907]

[@shirleyflavell5705]

Love the matching shirts, fabulous.Wonderful wreath and crosstitched chalkboard design. We love going around the streets on the 24th that are all dressed up for Christmas. Lots and lots of people and good cheer. Come home to some festive food and drinks. Christmas day getting up early for the presents and preparing yummy food for Christmas dinner.

[@cissigrip8956]

I follow your blog Priscilla and saw the hutch you acquired, very, very nice and your holiday decorating is phenomenal.

[@jessicaarcher3406]

My favorite Christmas tradition was Santa's visit to my grandparents on Christmas eve.

[@sharonpetterson478]

You ladies,your videos are so much fun and inspiring. My favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the tree and decorations.

[@thewitchywoman]

My favorite Christmas tradition is staying up late on Christmas Eve watching Christmas Vacation, and the Christmas episodes of a few TV shows like Are You Being Served, The Addams Family, and Supernatural.

[@carolswindler5010]

Love your new hutch Priscilla! Traditions for Christmas? Christmas Eve appetizers and poppy seed coffee cake for Christmas morning. Love Christmas and enjoy seeing your decorations posted on Facebook every day. You and Chelsea inspire me! I even made 2 Christmas quilts for my 2 little grandsons because of you!

[@katelynfraley6890]

My favorite Christmas tradition is going to see the southern lights at the Kentucky Horse Park every year! It’s about three miles through the horse park (horses and barns along the rode) of nothing but Christmas light displays!

[@karleenmiller1023]

Another great video. Favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmas eve having a big dinner and then opening gifts. Christmas day was Santa Claus and taking it easy.

[@athenabesa380]

My favorite Christmas tradition was lining up for my grandfather who hands us little stockings with our Christmas present. Today it’s going over the Hallmark ornament catalog checking which ones we’re getting for the year. Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!

[@leadewitt5277]

One of my favorite traditions is when we cook the turkey giblets I bring out the hand meat grinder that my grandmother had. Every one of my children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren have had a turn cranking the handle. On the sweet side are the cookies recipes that were my grandmothers.

[@donnapipkinwright6742]

So many and lots of them revolve around food also. Every year we drive around and look at Christmas lights and decorations.

[@shelleycrouch6223]

My favorite Christmas tradition is going to the tree farm. We spend several hours trying to find the perfect tree. I enjoy all your videos.

[@reginathompson4740]

Tradition, Watching It’s a wonderful Life! Thanks for making the videos.

[@blackkatte]

My favorite Christmas tradition growing up: when I was young, one of the grocery stores in town had a huge food sample display in the shape of a ripe (black) olive and it was full of ripe olives. I tried one and found out I loved them! So, for many years after that, every year, tucked under the tree at the very back was a can of ripe olives for me and it was always given to me last. Even after I moved out of state and mom sent my Christmas gifts to me, she would include a wrapped can of ripe olives. I miss that tradition!

[@jillipepper5353]

So many Christmas traditions that I love but I always love is keeping gifts secret. It's hard to do once the kids get older and have lists of whatever is an absolute must for them that year. They would check each package and be sure they got what they requested so I had to get sneaky. One year I put no tags on the kids gifts and on Christmas morning told one their gifts were wrapped in red, the other green. Another year I reversed the tags on gifts so they had been checking out each other's gifts all along. Another time I put everyday things in boxes to wrap and Christmas morning after there were lots of puzzled faces I went and brought the real gifts out. It got harder once they caught on but it made Christmas more fun because it made it more fun and kept the magic of wondering just a few years longer. I've been watching your decorating Priscilla, and wow...just wow! Beautiful. Happy stitching! 🎅🏼🤶🏼🦌❄️☃️💕💞

[@laurenlaney9031]

You would love the island of Kaua'i! During the last big hurricane all of the chickens escaped and since then no one has been able to catch them, so they wander all over the whole island!

[@deannaellett1906]

Love the shirts! Happy Thanksgiving! My favorite Christmas tradition is getting the whole family together to visit a tree farm, cut the perfect tree, visit with Santa and top it off with a cup of hot cocoa.

[@bethanyreimer9880]

First thing, I love your videos so much. I have spent the last couple weeks binge watching all your videos. 😊 my favourite Christmas tradition is also Christmas Eve. We go to the Christmas Eve service and then come home for hors d’oeuvres. When we were kids we used open our stockings on Christmas Eve, but now that all 5 of us kids our grown up, married and such, we don’t do stockings anymore.

[@pinupstitcher7561]

My favorite new Christmas tradition is going and looking at this Gingerbread house competition display in my town, it's amazing to see what creations people can come up with and just the smell of gingerbread get you in the mood to go and bake and get started with Christmas!

[@bettyhummel3756]

Love your shirts and just everything about your videos. Just so enjoyable. My favorite Christmas tradition is having my entire family together on Christmas Eve. We share gifts and eat all our favorite foods. Much love and joy that is for sure

[@Amylovestoads]

I love your shirts! My favorite Christmas tradition is watching Christmas movies with my kids....especially 'Elf'.

[@brenda444]

Love watching you two. Thanks for another fun video. My favorite Christmas tradition was hanging the stockings on the bookcase. I would stitch the name of each family member, adding new ones every year. So now, with relationships broken, family members gone, my Christmas mantel is a memorial to all that are no longer with us. Sounds sad, but it's not. It's memories.

[@cynthiadryden9393]

My favorite Christmas tradition is baking dozens and dozens of cookies and then making cookie trays for gifts. Love your videos. Happy Holidays to you both and your families.

[@ninahobbysite]

My favorite christmas tradition is choose the tree (they are so many different trees where we buy are tree) and decorating the tree. To see all the beautiful christmas ornaments. Happy stitching!

[@carlalemaster9649]

My favorite Christmas tradition is watching an old black and white movie, Christmas in Connecticut, starring Barbara Stanwyck. So good! And my Lantern Lane pattern came in the mail this week. Yeah!! 🎅

[@DonnaPainter]

My favorite Christmas tradition is having the family around a big table all eating together

[@rebeccajourney3183]

I love you two❣ Chelsea's nursery vid popped up on my list today and I so enjoyed. But the music and pics made me cry. I'm so emotional these days. But I am so happy Olivia recommended you two because I am hooked, with cross stitch needle in hand and magnets & washers on my shopping list!! 💕

[@stitchychris6065]

Thanks for answering my question! If I had chickens, I get ones that laid pretty eggs too. I like hearing that Chelsea came late to cross stitching. I've been trying to interest my daughter (15 now) in all my crafting and she's not into it. She cross stitched a cactus and that was it. So, I still have hope! My favorite Christmas tradition is our big Christmas Eve potluck with my husband's family. We used to have it at his mom's house. After she passed away, the siblings kept it going. We just alternate houses every year. There's always great food: meatballs, cabbage rolls, lasagna, casseroles, perogies (he's half Polish), and cheesecake.

[@stephaniewatson859]

My favourite Christmas tradition is going Christmas craft fairing with my Grandma. We have been going together for years, and now that she is in her late 80s, it gets harder to go, but we got to go this year which made us both very happy! We also make homemade Christmas crackers for Christmas dinner, and it is lots of fun :)

[@gracepatane9384]

I love all the patterns that you are both working on, & I love your finishes!

[@KISW1980]

Hi! All your stitching is lovely! We don't have specific traditions, but I enjoy getting together with my side of the family and having a fun evening.

[@thecoinskirtstitcher6462]

Great video! My favorite tradition is decorating the tree 🎄

[@gayevaterlaus6736]

Your videos are my motivation AND my nemesis! Your shirts are the perfect addition - be careful - people will want to be buying them soon! Our favorite traditions are making Gingerbread houses together (it's a full candy-on evening) and we complete the night with Christmas lights. Groups of neighbors all meet up as we are walking down to the end of the block where there is a neighborhood Christmas Lane!

[@carolyncrowder1506]

My favorite Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition is watching the Macy Day parade!

[@mollyolly10]

Favorite tradition is on Christmas Eve my whole extended family gets together for Christmas dinner and a white elephant gift exchange :) Love your shirts today!! Super cute!!

[@lisasica9287]

My favorite tradition is decorating the tree with my daughter then later turning off the lights in the house, except the tree lights, making hot chocolate snuggling in and watching Its A Wonderful Life and crying together.

[@darlakbeckerson7553]

My favorite Christmas tradition is baking cookies with my mom. I love your green hutch! Enjoyed. Have a great week.

[@barbie-petalpusher4527]

Can't wait to see the winter chalk piece! My one of my favorite traditions is baking Lebkuchen (a gingerbread type cookie) for my family. My grandma used to make it for her children at Christmas (all 16 of them!) and of all those kids and grandkids, I'm one of the only ones that bake it with her recipe. Now I've converted my in-laws to loving it too and requesting it all year!

[@patmcadams7824]

Another great video!! Fav Christmas tradition is going to church really late and sitting up talking after.

[@FrostyXStitch]

My favorite christmas tradition is getting all my santas out and placing them arround my flat. Happy stitching ✖️✖️✖️

[@glyndaolive9434]

Great video (of course!)!! Beautiful projects and such creative finishing! My favorite Christmas tradition was always baking Christmas cookies every year with my girls when they lived at home.
