[@manja1714]

LIVING for this vlogmas!! Also Meredith I gotta tell ya that I am an English teacher (in Germany) and I taught a lesson on A Christmas Carol the other day and showed them some VHS stuff and they all left the classroom singing Bah Humbug and doing the Christmas Electricity dance. It was very wholesome.

[@MerediddyS]

Omg!! I love that so much!!

[@thinusviljoen4065]

Your videos always feel like I do when playing animal crossing. Such a relaxing vibe with great music

[@MerediddyS]

Omg the best compliment I've ever gotten??

[@alexandrathomas6790]

Luna is just the cutest! I loved hearing her excited little pitter patter down the stairs 🥰 I was crocheting while watching your vlog and it was fun to twin craft with you via the screen. Your yarn looks so soft and fluffy!!!

[@shelleywrites7]

I haven't even listened to that many audiobooks, but I still knew exactly who you were talking about when you said the narrator always sounds angry 😅

[@MerediddyS]

LOL omg yes!! Why is he angry? And it sounds like he can't open his mouth all the way!

[@TheLaneyShow]

The way I ran to immediately buy and download the VHSCC full album when I found about it yesterday. Great job, Brian!! And thank you Meredith for another lovely vlog!! ❤ Edit: I’ve just watched the Wow Signal episode and Luna eating the hot dog off the tree is everything I hoped it would be 😂

[@MerediddyS]

HEHEHE Thank you for watching the hotdog moment. It made my year!!

[@amarli22]

Meredith your woodburning crafts are so freaking cute! I love the "Merry Titmas" lol...the pink and white sweater you were wearing is super cute too!

[@MerediddyS]

Hehehe thank you!! That sweater fits weird but I do love it!

[@KLeheh]

Thanks for brightening my afternoon! I really enjoy your vlogs, with all the small details. I hope that you, Brian and Luna have a great Christmas Time. Greetings from Germany 😊

[@MerediddyS]

Yay!! Thank you for watching!! I'll bet Germany is so beautiful this time of year!

[@bekah_st]

I always look forward to being able to watch a Meredith vlog on Wednesdays while I'm at work

[@MerediddyS]

Yay! Thank you for watching!

[@shayne_has_landed2511]

I have been waiting for a VHSmas album for what feels like so long! The hard work will definitely be appreciated!

[@GabbyE423]

i put this on in bed while cuddling with my cat and he watched almost the whole video. his favorite part was Lunas backyard zoomies, he perked up watching that 😭🫶

[@MerediddyS]

Omg yay!!! It's hard to catch a Luna zoomie on camera cuz they come and go so fast... glad I caught some!

[@pacificnorthwench]

I bought the VHSCC album on iTunes! It's so good! Whaddya Do is my absolute favorite. As a person with extremely high cortisol levels, Bred, Spektr and Gruel are my internal monologue always, I feel so seen

[@MadisynBowen]

I've been secretly learning how to watercolor by following tutorials. My plan is to give all of my family some nice watercolor paintings personalized to them. I've also been trying to thrift some good frames and that has been the trickiest part! Also, my little dog Minnie loves these videos. She likes to watch and bark when Luna comes on the screen, but now she's heard the word 'walk' and is all excited, so I guess it's time to go!

[@crazytardispanda2961]

you could try blocking the sweater at 12:09 as if it's a newly knit sweater, it could help the sweater not be as weirdly shaped (edited to fix the time stamp)

[@MariaEverlasting]

So cozy ❤ I was listening to the full musical album today after work as a treat to myself for getting through the day heehee

[@MerediddyS]

Oh yay!!! It sounds so good. I'm so glad it's out now!!

[@JustALilHuman]

loving all the comfy cozy vlogs this holiday season 🌲 also love the crochet granny hexagon sweater as your new project!! They're one of my favourites 🤍

[@MerediddyS]

I hope I do it right!!!!

[@DeeKaySigne]

The big woodburning piece with row of houses by water, if you intended it to be a nod to Copenhagen and Nyhavn, very well done. If you did not, that's totally what it looks like to me! Lovely video as always

[@MerediddyS]

Hehe yes I was thinking of Bergen when I did it!! I gave it to Bri cuz we loved Bergen so much!

[@heatherhepburn3505]

Such a cozy video!! I made that sausage and veggies and apples roast you made and it was so delicious, and such an easy meal! Also been listening to the VHSCC album nonstop! The first VHSCC was such a comfort during that first long covid winter and now it's such a lovely tradition each year and a big part of the holiday season for me, thank you to all of you for making it happen every year!

[@MerediddyS]

Oh yay!!! Yeah I love that sausage salad- it's quick and easy but fun!!

[@MorganNicole2512]

I’m so glad the full VHSCC album is out! And that the interludes are included, and you added the new bits in Christmas Day (and your harmonies on Christmas Day too!!) Everything sounds great!!

[@MerediddyS]

Omg you noticed the harmonies on Christmas Day!! That was a last min add by me and Clark hehe

[@MorganNicole2512]

@ of course! After seeing it live last year, I always added them myself when listening to the original album and was so please that you guys added them!!

[@mika_verse]

again: love the crafts. your silly little deer are so cute !! i'm almost done with all my band work before christmas, one more rehearsal and one more show on satuday before i can get all the way cozy!

[@MerediddyS]

Awww yay!! You're so close!!

[@user-ke1fr6dt3h]

Is the new VHSCCS album out on Spotify? Also love your vids they always make my day better❤

[@kingofpointless]

Those pretzel balls did look very good, and your wood prints are lovely :)

[@MerediddyS]

He really nailed the crispy soft pretzel!!

[@micheleabercrombie]

Omg seeing Kristen and Denise makes me think of the best thing that was ever created ever .... their silver bells dance!! Have they brought that back this year? I uninstalled Instagram but I'll come back for this!!

[@MerediddyS]

Omg!! I'll ask them!!

[@tninotmaru]

thank you dor another cozy vlog ❤ these are thw perfect thing to watch at lunch 🤩🎄

[@MerediddyS]

Yay!! Thank you for watching!

[@pienstolp4436]

The coasters are so cute!!! I love them! I was wondering if you will make any for the Starkid concert in London in april?? It will be my first time going too see Starkid live, and I have been a fan for more than 5 years. I’m super excited!! Thank you for making these fun vlogs every week!

[@keikustar]

i'm loving all of this extra vlogmas content! those banana oat waffles look delicious. thanks for including the recipe!

[@MerediddyS]

They're a perfect breakfast!!

[@abigailwebster2203]

meredith: “i don’t condone watching screens in bed”. me: *watching this right before i go to bed*

[@MerediddyS]

Hehehe I do it too sometimes. Just make sure your screen is on night shift and/or you're wearing blue blockers!!!! Your circadian rhythms!!!!

[@sarab995]

Surprised to see 3 cardinals near each other during Luna's walk - I almost never see more than two together unless one is a baby

[@linndwurm]

damn I LIVE for these vlogs at the moment. I'm stuck at home with covid and was also sick with something else last week, so I'm sooo thankful for vlogmas! Also, I was wondering if you could do a Vlog-Vlog someday? Like kind of taking us with you through your whole process of cutting, choosing music and stuff! I am always wondering how you find time to do this and how long all of it takes. I've been trying to do vlogs for my friends for literally the past TEN years but whenever I finish cutting one, I am so exhausted I don't do another one for the next six months or so, so I am reaally interested in the process!

[@MerediddyS]

Omg I'm sorry you're so sick!! Yes I will definitely do a vlog like that- that's a good idea!! I'll say that it definitely takes practice- I've gotten way better at not filming too much so I have less to edit. Especially now with doing vlogmas. It also helps to edit as you go- so you have everything fresh in your mind and can say "Oh I remember that I worded this better later so I'll just cut this down now", etc.

[@sarab4241]

Thanks for the cozy vibes!

[@MerediddyS]

Thank you for watching!

[@emm4r0se_]

Omg that dish at around 4:18 looks delicious! Do you have the recipe?😋

[@MerediddyS]

Actually yes!! I did a vlog in September where I shared the recipe! This time I used kale, zucchini and ground chicken for it, but otherwise it's the same! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF7Zcp1mq7Vojbc

[@micheleabercrombie]

Also I love your Vlogmas!! Makes me happy ❤

[@MerediddyS]

Thank you!!

[@carolineknowlton3457]

do you think the banana oat waffles taste like banana? i’m not typically a banana fan, but i love banana bread and i feel like your pancakes could be a similar vibe! in any case, thanks for the extra vlogs this month! they’ve been a great source of cozy calmness in a very stressful time of year at work!

[@MerediddyS]

I would say the waffles are similar to banana bread in flavor- they aren't SUPER banana forward but it's def there!

[@lumpynoir]

Thank you for the vlog Meredith! Have a Merry Christmas! If I may ask, how hard is woodburning to get into? it seems like a lot of fun!

[@MerediddyS]

It's not hard at all!! It's just getting used to your Woodburn pen and the types of woods you use, but it's very easy!

[@meghanhowe9300]

I feel you on the audiobook issues. I just started listening to them this year, and I wanted to test whether I could follow the story by listening to a book I didn't care about. Enter stage left, Icebreaker. First of all, I don't recommend it. Secondly, oh my god, I was listening to a particularly spicy part while cleaning my car and it was just a gag reel of reactions to this book. Spoiler: they start hooking up in the backseat of an Uber full of their drunk friends. While the male MC is dressed as Gru. They repeat several times that everyone is so drunk no one can tell what they're doing. What about your poor driver? Oh it was so upsetting...

[@MerediddyS]

Hahaha I've heard such negative things about Icebreaker!!
