[@TSenter82]

Hell yeah Alex droppin a Star Trek TNG reference, loving the banter between you and Alex, it makes for some really good funny videos.

[@kelleyoco]

not a huge star trek fan, but my dad watched tng so I totally got that reference too

[@Brandon_Beaty]

Just the banter giving out about each other's cars was worth it. Looking forward to the blockbuster, Clare!

[@CrazyHorse11235]

"Borg cube!" Go Team Alex! Love your content, Clare! Keep up the great work! ❤

[@lizetteolsen3218]

ROFL --the reference to the Borg--I woke up my cats laughing. Glad the return was uneventful. When Alex mentioned the petrol was low, right away, I thought--oh no, they are going to run out of gas and need another taxi home. The apple juice and oatmeal makes sense to me. But then I eat oatmeal every day with seasonal fruits. In summer, I do a version of 'refrigerator porridge'. This time of year, I put up applesauce, spices apples, apple butter and the like--so oatmeal and apple anything is a major winter treat, IMO. The Christmas store looked lovely.

[@davidcreager1945]

Alex won't be alone ! He has his automatic lights for company ! 😂 Just glad you two got home safe and sound !! Have a great night ! ⛄🎄🧊🥶❄️🦌🎅🌷☃️⛄🎄💚🥶

MILLIE!!! THAT SWEET PUP! 🐶💖🐾

[@coloringanddoodling9751]

The first "Princess" of Vlogmas, YAY. Make a Millie Vlogmas for Thursday. Don't forget the selection box.

[@Greg_Watchorn]

Love your banter and delighted for Millie footage!!!!❤😅

[@zablelop]

You two are so cute together. Thanks for putting a smile on my face, I needed it tonight.

[@MrsWellner]

We use trucks to log Christmas trees because it's easier to fit a big tree, and if there's any sap, it's easier to clean from a truck. But, I have only seen red trucks, specifically, in movies.

[@LindaC616]

It's just that "old fashined" vibe you see on Xmas cards, etc. Pity Xmas Tree Shoppes closed, I'd hook her up

[@steelcity3534]

Puttering through the vid, waiting for true Clare Vlogmas meter to rise. Went up a bit in the Christmas store, then a little more at tag. Stayed same when car locked in carpark. Then at 05:43 "Well you can 'F' off", we reached full Vlogmas meter. Yeah !! ❄🏉💜

[@silverlobo2135]

Salutations Claire Yeeeeaaah, the REAL star of the show, Alex!!! ))) (Team Alex representing). I TOTALLY got his Borg Cube reference!! Very, very clever!! As cold as it gets in Ireland around this time, is thermal underwear and wool socks a common thing or not? How about carrying extra supplies in the car (extra gloves, coats, scarves, wool mittens, etc.) Either way, you guys are an extremely adorable couple. The Vlog was great. You are mighty talented little leprechaun. Go gcoinneoidh sióga an gheimhridh tú i ngrást maith! Ar chuala tú trácht ar an gcóta teasa? This would be something good for you right now!! Alright Ag seoladh smaointe dearfacha te duit agus neart beannachtaí!

[@Clisare]

I don’t think many people wear thermal underwear but I have sports thermals I wear. And I never think to have extra but I do carry scarves and hats etc.

[@JelloReilly]

Alex is insane. That car is obviously Inspired by a Borg Sphere, not a Cube.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

You can eat your porridge with anything you want.

[@LindaC616]

I've added apple sauce before, to give them flavor. Not the weirdest thing in the world

[@edwardendicott3247]

Brilliant as always! Always love when you drag Alex into the Vlog!

[@aliwantizu]

Always love the banter between Clare and Alex. Always just gold. ~Be Blessed

[@davidray6962]

Yeah, apple juice is weird. But I've always made my oatmeal with tea, so I don't have much room to talk. (And my usual breakfast is actually granola mixed into plain yoghurt.)

[@azsean73]

I mean, it's halfway to apple & cinnamon spice flavor, so it makes sense. Makes it a little sweet tasting I would imagine.

[@jacklowe3429]

Random thoughts: 1.) It's not weird to put apple juice on porridge. It's healthy. I've eaten my porridge with cinnamon apple sauce and it's delicious; 2.) The towel turban just might be the look for you; 3.) I'm glad Alex had 3 pints after the challenging evening you guys had. I hope you had a couple pints yourself, Clisare, when you got home; 4.) You simply MUST replace Alex's Green Bay Packers hat for Xmas. Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, any NFL teams but the dreaded Cheeseheads of Green Bay. Thanks for sharing this great video!

[@BazTheStoryteller]

You want your car to fit underneath the bar of the carpark. I remember the cartoon Hong Kong Phooey where he had a gong to make his car change shape. If only that existed in real life. Be very handy.

[@heatherlucero7540]

Just found you thank you for vlogs I have been watching you for quite a while on the try channel will be binge watching Hello from USA

[@LindaC616]

Welcome!

[@janetlykins295]

OMG you two are HI-LARIOUS when you do the vlogs together! You’re so bloody cute together!!! Don’t ever stop loving each other, and a big 👋🏼 to Millie girl ❤❤❤❤❤

[@pfp0854]

Apple juice in porridge sounds pretty good. Agreed, I generally prefer maple syrup. But will try apple juice.

[@Blondie42]

5:38 A tip to help you, Clare, figure out which side of the car 🚗 you can put in ⛽️ depends on where the car's manufacturer is and what side they drive on. So if you have a car made in North America or on the European continent it will likely be on the left side. English made, or Japanese models will be on the right. (Not always, however.)

[@Clisare]

Here we have a big arrow that tells you on the dashboard 😂😂 I just never fill his car so was guessing!

[@davidskidmore6768]

Oh you two are a blast 😂

[@carolmurphy7572]

"Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." By the way, do U.K. cars have the indicator on the dash next to the petrol pump icon to show you which side of the car the filling tube is located?

[@LindaC616]

Do US cars!?

[@carolmurphy7572]

@LindaC616 Yes. It's been a common practice in cars sold in North America (regardless whether they're manufactured here) since at lease the 1980s. If you borrow or rent a vehicle, a quick glance tells you which side of the gas pump to pull up to.

[@LindaC616]

@@carolmurphy7572 so you'd only notice it if the gas icon comes on? In Other words, if you push it to the limit? Thanks, never knew that !

[@Clisare]

Yes, *Irish* cars (👀) have that!

[@carolmurphy7572]

@LindaC616 No, the indicator for the side the gas fill pipe is on is an arrow on the side of the gas pump icon on the dash (where it shows how much gas you have remaining in the tank). It looks much like this: ⛽️▶️, which would tell you the tank fill pipe is on the right-hand side of the car). It is visible all the time, not only when the amount of fuel left in the tank is low. I hope that makes sense to you.

[@Chris.Haines.]

Poor Alex! The inhumanity of being assimilated into the Borg car without automatic lights and having to be mic'd up and having to stop at the shop! Wow Clisare I hope you realize how lucky you are to have such a fine outstanding young man as this. I think your present budget for his heroic acts should have at least doubled. lol!

[@ryanhoey4323]

Poor Alex, I feel your pain 😂😂

[@GenXfrom75]

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you both! Oh, can't forget Miss Millie 🎉🎄🐾

I LOVE how you and Alex bikker like my boyfriend and I do. Both couples have been together almost the same amount of centuries...years😅 so you guys are keeping it real.

[@Mark-ki7ic]

Oatmeal with chopped apple and banana is good

[@LisEibh]

If yer up for a chill home vlog e.g. chats in the chistin or banter over chores or whatever, or Q&As even, I'd be happy to see more of those in vlogmas anyways ☺️

[@markgreene2865]

When I was about 13 my dad got laid off from his job (it was the late 70s), and to conserve on the milk for me and my brothers, my mom and my sister started doing apple juice with oatmeal. It was unfiltered, organic apple juice so it was actually a bit thick and almost like cider in how strong it was.

[@OgreSupreme]

“Chat,chat, chat. Cold. Fuck me. Very cold. Ugh.Teabags and milk.” Alex in a nutshell. 👍🏻

[@razzberrylogic]

Double bonus blockbuster banger of a Vlogmas! I’m not joking, I really enjoyed it!

[@jasonniles9270]

Great video I hope you both have a great Christmas and New Year's

[@Imru_gamer]

Hi ya Clisare, try the way my family is making it for along time,you won't regret it. Toast the oats till its golden brown and till it give an arorma, add butter (Kerry gold)💜 toast for a few seconds till its mixed then add milk keep staring it and add sugar (more sugar the better ,like the butter). Let the milk reduce as per your preference. Enjoy!! The best podge you will ever have. Love and respect 🙏 🇮🇪💜

[@rickb3565]

The Borg reference did make me chuckle :)

[@tracyannbielhy9794]

They have little red truck's on Etsy.

[@Clisare]

Ah but that’s cheating 😂😂

[@tessyredding5422]

I looked around when you said the little red truck thing, I see three in my Christmas decor, I’m thinking it’s definitely an American thing ❤

[@jamesonstalanthasyu]

I'd say the red train with Christmas tree is the analogue for the tree in red truck, as in England, the train is more iconic than a pickup truck in the US.

[@Clisare]

We’re not in England through 👀

[@jamesonstalanthasyu]

@@Clisare damn yes, you're not. Sorry, I was actually in a layover at Heathrow a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty sure i saw stuff like that train in an airport shop.

[@weetduck]

My Grandpa ate applesauce in his corn flakes, he was diabetic and my grandma made sugar free applesauce for him and he would put it on any food that needed some sweet. I miss them both.

[@jlcutright0723]

I'd say that the apple juice is odd but my dad enjoyed a thick spread of mayo on white bread with red onions and pepper. Not a memory that became family tradition. 😀

[@Jay-ql4gp]

Oh no! Having my vehicle locked in the carpark is...actually normal really, with about three other piles of shit put on top. I can anticipate, and sometimes manage bits of my ADHD, but it doesn't prepare you for when it shows up to kick your ass. Sorry Alex, I didn't get the Borg Cube reference. And I've been watching Star Trek for over 45 years now.

[@sadhbhpearse7972]

I remeyou doing that in your vegan video and Alex was catatonic over it 😂

[@justliss1640]

You were talking about Star Trek. This Summer, I binge watched the original series on Paramount plus. I'll binge watch The Next Generation soon.

What’s so strange about apple juice and porridge? Mango juice is nice too with bits of mango. Any juice with your fave fruit and or nuts is nice.

[@sherondalewis8053]

That's almost like cutting up apples and putting them in your porridge..but it is apple juice. So..um..not weird I guess. I knew someone who ate cereal with water!

Nothing wrong with apple juice in porridge. Porridge tastes like shit. Apple juice can only make it taste somewhat palatable.

I don't cook the oatmeal in my porridge. Fewer carbs, all the protein.

[@sharkeyist]

Is the poridge with milk or water? Either way i can trump the breakfast fruit juice wrongness. Weetabix with orange juice instead of milk… i nearly decorated the breakfast bar 🤢🤮!

A couple of comments: 1) My husband puts applesauce in his oatmeal/porridge so apple juice isn't that strange. 2) I wish all cars had the automatic headlights. I see too many people driving in the dark or the rain without their lights on.

Hmmm well I've always loved oatmeal with cinammon flavors so.... maybe it's just smart :P /jk What brand porridge do you use? /genuine I'd love to try it, with the apple flavor, altho Ill have to try to see if we get the exact brand here in Kkkanada.
