Making Our First Gingerbread House! Vlogmas Day 2

[@mallaryroberts3346]

I don’t think people will get bored with you lol we stick around because you are so genuine and sweet! And Sebastian’s one liners are hilarious lol “I imported myself” 😂 he doesn’t talk much but when he does it’s hilarious 😆 And side note: all your clothes are so pretty! The sweater with the blouse poking through was sooooo pretty 🤩

[@kristi-anne]

Aww haha Mal, you're so sweet!! 🥹 Hahaha Seb needs to be more talkative in front of the camera. You should see what I have to hear all day. One dad joke after the next 😂. Aww thank you! I started ordering businessy tops when I started needing to be on camera so often for meetings. When I was contracting I almost never needed to go on camera haha. I can share my favorite pieces in an upcoming video!!

[@kristi-anne]

Hey all! I would love any feedback around vlog content!! Specifically, what kinds of content would you like to see? Also, for days where I don’t have much going on, would you prefer a vlog with less content and maybe less festive, or would you rather I post a day or two after once I can pull together some good content (and recipes haha)? Thank you all so much for coming back and watching!! 💗

[@alexbobby63]

Your dedication to doing vlogmas is un-matched. I wish it wasn’t such a time commitment for you. As for being picky with the editing, in yesterday’s vlog I could not notice anything (ummmms or likes). Just grateful you share this time of year with us. I always love seeing your gorgeous twinkling decorations in the back ground, your meals and cooking etc. for future vlogs I love seeing Vancouver snow, when you go to get your tree, all those traditional type things. Please don’t stress to make it entertaining, you and Sebastian are plenty enough ❤

[@kristi-anne]

Thank you so much, Alexandra!! I think I'm extra critical of the extra ums and likes because it's me haha. I'm so glad you didn't notice them!! Genuinely, I am so incredibly grateful for you all, you have no idea, and that you all wanna celebrate the holidays with me!! We are trying to figure out when we want to go to Whistler again so there will hopefully be no shortage of snow footage haha! Thank you so so much for such a thoughtful and sweet comment!

[@c.cocobenavides3675]

Hey Kristi-anne I just absolutely love your content my suggestion is more cooking content for desserts or new christmas beauty looks, your current glam makeup looks or your favorite Christmas ornament w favorite memory

[@kristi-anne]

Thank you so much for all the amazing suggestions!! I'm going to try and incorporate more of all these elements!! I love that Christmas ornament with favorite memory. How precious!!

[@byleanarai]

Wow so glad to see you guys back for vlogmas!

[@kristi-anne]

Hey you!! Yay, thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoy everything regardless of the festive elements haha. Thank you!!! ❄️🎄

[@kimberlyhuffineibarra9517]

Love the gingerbread house! I enjoyed watching, reminded me of when I was little and each one of my family members would make their own and it was super fun! I think some ideas for vlogmas is Christmas wish list/gift guide, Christmas shopping vlog, Christmas tree decorating or even a Christmas home makeover! Of course your recipes and snacks are a must!!! 👩🏻‍🍳

[@kristi-anne]

Omg how did I miss this comment!! Yay thank you!! I love that you enjoyed! Honestly, I thought it might be boring for people to watch us assemble the gingerbread house 😂 so I love that it made you a little nostalgic about when you did it when you were little!! Thank you so much for the ideas for vlogmas content!! It is very much appreciated (especially when I'm short on time and need to think of interesting things to show 😂).

[@ShayleneReynolds]

I always start checking for your videos after thanksgiving 😊 and I get so excited when your first video comes out! Congratulations on your new job, maybe a 12 days of Vlogmas would be easier on you? Or even once a week. It’s just always fun to see your holiday videos🎄

[@kristi-anne]

Shaylene!!! Omg long time, no talk! It’s so good to hear from you!! I hope you’ve been doing well!! I’m so happy you come back for vlogmas videos! Thank you!! And thank you! I’ve been with this company now for a little over 7 months but I love the role so much!! 12 days of vlogmas totally sounds way more manageable! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that 😂. I love that you just enjoy seeing the content regardless. Thank you so much!!

[@stephaniefriars4533]

My fav people! You guys are the best! I look forward to wrapping gifts and watching what you two get up to 😂

[@stephaniefriars4533]

Hahahahah also “this bun unlocked an old memory” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kristi-anne]

Awww thanks so much, Steph!! I love that you save the vlogs for doing your wrapping. That’s the best time to watch stuff!!

[@kristi-anne]

🤣 I had completely forgotten about them. I want to try and recreate them.

[@Kristennicole622]

Love love love your Vlogmas!!! I can’t even begin to imagine how much time and work goes into it, but just know so many of us enjoy your content and will be here throughout the years. Thank you for sharing the most magical time of year with us! ❤

[@kristi-anne]

Omg hey you!! I had no idea you still watched my vlogmas videos, but wow, thank you for making my day!! I always feel like we are all in this together, so I’m just so grateful you all wanna spend the holiday season with me 😊💗

[@teesmom0086]

Definitely would like to see any recipes you want to make. Breakfast for supper is what we’ve been doing lately so new ideas would be great. Thanks for any content you do its appreciated! 🥰

[@kristi-anne]

Breakfast for dinner is so comforting! There's a dish I really want to try to make if I have time. Actually a couple breakfast dishes I want to make!!

[@yvonnebustillos8971]

I luv the intro.... Sébastien is so funny. 😁 Your ginger bread house so cute😍. And yes we always want you to come back. It's not the officially the holidays until your videos are on 😜

[@kristi-anne]

Hey!! Yay I love that you enjoyed it haha it took for freaking ever to film this one 😂. And thank you 🥹 that means so much to me!! 💗

[@samanthaguzzi1319]

Best vlogmas channel, idk how many years ive come to watch you but love it every time. Happy holidays you two!

[@kristi-anne]

😭 thank you - this made my day!! Happy holidays!! So happy you've been enjoying the vlogs! Thanks for continuing to come back!!! 🙏💗

[@drearenee5924]

Love the recipes and just general merriment! It doesn’t even need to be all Christmas content to enjoy…just fun to see you guys again:) your intros are always over the top fun😁

[@kristi-anne]

Aww thank you! I love that you just enjoy the content and us hanging out. The intros are a labor of love and take a lot of time in production 😂 but I’m always so relieved after they’re done. I’m so happy you enjoy them!! ❤️

[@sharonc1326]

Lol! I loved watching the whole gingerbread house assembly! It reminded me of the time my son was about 5 or 6 years old and he Begged me for a gingerbread house kit. So I decided to get us one. My mom came over and we all worked on it together, until five minutes in my son lost interest and left the project. My mom and I became obsessed with making it perfect, it took hour and hours, we had all kinds of frostings in our hair, sprinkles all over the floor, every surface was sticky for days! We were absolutely exhausted by the time we felt it was finished. It’s a funny memory!

[@kristi-anne]

Aww yay! I thought it might get boring or not be very interesting haha. Aww I love your story! Now I wish I could see the gingerbread house you made!! Those are the kinds of memories that are priceless. I'm always sad I live so far away from my family and I don't get to have many of those holiday memories. Thank you so much for sharing your little anecdote with me!

[@samanthaguzzi1319]

For vlog content, i think as long as you do something its enjoyable! I dont like when people just talk to the camera and do makeup or talk and drive its pretty boring. Show us whats for dinner, a recipe, a fun drink, your decorations, i LOVE your craft videos. Maybe do a xmas sweater try on, i bought some of the ones you got a few years back i still love them. You two are so cute, so i think anything you post is great

[@kristi-anne]

Thank you for the feedback! I also find long talking segments, and vlogs with only one setting to be less entertaining. I love the craft videos too! They were my favorite, but each one took about a month with planning, filming, editing, purchasing all of the items, etc. and the interest in DIYs sadly dropped off ☹️. Thank you for all of the suggestions and I'm so happy you've been enjoying the vlogs so far!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

OMG, I also own a Christmas bowl with thin green stripes! But the second one from the same set is not with red stripes, but with red polkadots.

My husband and I are doing a wine advent calendar through IG lives! It’s so fun

[@kristi-anne]

Omg that's amazing!! We saw one at Target we wanted to buy - it looked so cool! We didn't get it because we're not really able to bring alcohol back across the border unless we pay and arm and a leg for it haha

[@tisa6193]

Omg is that the secret for keeping gingerbread houses together? Vinegar? Mine always collapse. I'm holding forever and nope.😳🙄 I never realized it took so much time and effort to edit!?! I really enjoy your vlogs, they start my holiday season for me. I'm sorry it takes so much as your vlogs seem effortless. Like in a good way, like we're just hanging out with you guys. I hope I'm conveying this correctly. I so appreciate finding you every season. ❤️

[@kristi-anne]

YES! Shocking right? I think it might be similar to how you add vinegar to the water when you poach eggs so it stabilizes the protein. I need to try and recreate this on my own with the same ratio to see if it works just as well. I can do it with my new gingerbread houses! Editing is unfortunately super time-consuming. I'm such a chatty person that I think I could easily vlog every day if I didn't have to edit 😂. And you're totally conveying it properly, that's exactly how I hoped it would feel when I talk to you all, because I'm thinking of you all when I'm talking to the camera!

[@BoFelulaVang]

Aww you work so hard!! Don't worry if you can't always vlog. We understand. I will still watch whatever you post up!!! And Ohmygosh! Your gingerbread house is super cute. I did one with me niece the other day but it came apart. So we just ate it. It was oreo flavor too. 😂

[@kristi-anne]

Omg I'm just so excited that you're all back, it's as if time stood still from the previous vlogmasses! I'm going to try to get the vlog from days 5, 6, 7 up tomorrow! I'm hoping I'll have time to finish editing it! OMG an Oreo gingerbread house sounds so good! I love Oreos! I think that sounds much better than the regular gingerbread!

[@demolatte]

Hello again and welcome back our darling ❤ we missed you.. i will return to the first video but excuse me i am sick with rain allergies and your videos are so uplifting and beautiful that i always reserve them for my morning latte if its a weekend or my Saudi coffee if its a work day evening.. your videos are my prime time show! Love you and thank you for sharing building the gingerbread house.. what a lovely custom ❤ 😊 (where are the dim non vibrant sprinkles and buttons hehehe) I enjoy every segment and you are across the years my favorite YTer ❤ no one can take that away 🥰🫶🏻

[@kristi-anne]

Omg!! Hi!! ❤️❤️❤️ It’s so nice to hear from you!! I hope you’ve been doing really well! I’m sorry to hear you’re having allergies! Sebastian’s allergies are so bad right now, too! Aww I love that you watch them while having your coffee. I love rituals like that. I do that, too when I have the time in the morning!! I had so much fun building the gingerbread house. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but now I really wanna do another one!! HAHAHA you totally saw that I didn’t include the non-vibrant sprinkles 😂. Aww thank you so much. You’re just so sweet! Sending you and your family so much love! Love you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@vanessanewbold7574]

"Why don't you go and get me Starbucks" me everyday to my husband haha. Also the Bacon-Gouda is my favorite!! I wish there was a way to make them at home but the egg is so fluffy. I get weird with egg sometimes but this one is so good. And I LOVE the log cake from the intro I can't believe you made 3 of these it seems so time consuming. But it looks so amazing and pretty!! You guys getting the Thumbnail made me laugh hah you are so cute! Like seriously the sweetest couple. And OMG I have a whole cabinet full of gingerbread houses that I have been buying for years and never made :D Like a gingerbread village, a house even a dog house theyre all expired too but I might make them with my mom when she comes for christmas I feel like its about time :D Also Sebatian laying down on his phone while you make the Gingerbread house thats how Scott is too hahahah

[@kristi-anne]

🤣🤣🤣 I love it. I don't want to seem needy hahaha but I very much appreciate him getting our Starbucks 😂. I have seem people throw eggs into a blender and get super fluffy results like that! I should try over vlogmas to see if I can recreate them! The bun they use is also so good though. I've never found one that compares. The yule logs do take a while! I feel like the end result is worth it, but for these ones, I only had two that were completely done. The other one was for showing the steps haha. Aww haha no trust me, we're just a normal couple, and we bicker, but sometimes I think it's also funny to show how ridiculous some stuff we do for KZbin can be 🤣. I can't show it all though cause I'm a 🤡... hahhaa. OMG please send me the stories when you do the gingerbread houses with your mom! I haven't had much time to see what's going on on instagram!! OMG Sebastian laying down while I decorate/make the gingerbread house/exist is literally a meme of all guys I feel like 🤣

I’m really loving the work from home clips, because they’re so relatable! “I think I have a meeting at 1” .. Also, i will keep coming back year after year to watch your vlogmas. I cannot believe how long editing takes! 😮 Wish you could do it year round.

[@kristi-anne]

Aww yay! I always felt like my work segments would be boring so I never used to include them, but now that I don’t set my own hours I kind of have to include them in order to vlog during the day 😂. These vlogs take much less time because I sacrifice content and quality ☹️ but I would rather post than not post at all cause of editing time if that makes sense. I wish I could vlog year-round too!! We are trying to find a way to get someone to help me! I’ll keep you posted on whether I find someone haha

[@sarahgee6690]

Hi again! For content you could keep it really simple like in your older videos where you would sit in front of the camera and show us things that you like. For example, beauty favourites, hair care, skin care, outfits that you enjoy wearing and so on. If you go for a trim you could film getting your hair cut. I remember you did that during a vlogmas a couple of years back I think. Your stylist was called Paul? I clearly enjoy the girly stuff. Haha!

[@kristi-anne]

You have such a great memory!! I went to Paul for forever!! I love all of these recommendations thank you so so much!! I actually wanted to show hair care and skin care this year as well because I’ve totally changed all the products I’ve used in the last year and I wanted to give some updates on them!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate the recommendations and also I’m in need of a trim so freaking bad, so if I can squeeze in a cut this month I will definitely film it!! 💗💗💗

[@sarahgee6690]

@@kristi-anne I remember your hair stylist because he reminded me of the actor Paul Sorvino. They have the same first name so it was easy for me to remember. Ha ha! Even if you don't cut your hair this month maybe you could film it anyways whenever you decide to get your hair done and upload it? I really enjoy hair content.

[@kristi-anne]

Omg I looked him up and he totally does look like him!! I started going to a different salon because I wanted to start highlighting my hair, so that’s also where I started getting trims from. I could totally do that! I also wanted to give an update on the Silke hair wrap cause I have been using it for a year now!! 😊
