Reading, cooking & comfort movies 🧣🌲✨ Finding self-care calm for the work week (VLOGMAS DAY 9)

[@laurab8547]

Ari- if you are out there and reading through these comments, please know how much your words meant to me! I am one week away from leaving my job that I love to make a move across the country to be closer to my daughter. I am anxious and questioning if leaving it all behind is a wise decision, but your words have given me such encouragement to take the plunge! I am sure I will come back and listen to your encouragement in future times when I am once again feeling anxious about this major change. Congratulations on your sobriety! Keep going. IWNDWYT.

[@sheahalloween]

I’ve struggled with mental health really badly since 2018. I used to think you were incredibly fake bc “nobody could be this happy!” And then Landon went on his hiking trip and I saw the very vulnerable, very raw version of you struggling so much with how tough life can be. It’s then that I realized you’re not so different from me-you CHOOSE to put happiness into the world every day. It made me feel so small, but it also made you my favorite creator. This year has been a turning point for me and my mental health struggle, and I like to think that your outlook on life has helped shape this new version of me. I understand we all have our struggles with depression, but life is too short to let it overcome. I love your channel, I love your aura, and I love everything about Morgan Long The Brand. Keep encouraging and keep shining. Take care of yourself, you are so precious! 🤍

[@lauracgc]

As a former quiet “hater” of a lot of similar joy-focused vloggers, I also came to realise after a long time that it said more about me and my mental health than it said of the person on camera. ❤️ now I feel like I live better and more intentionally, when watching these videos as I get ready in the morning/ before sleep.

[@karenholbert609]

Keep shining as special YOU too and you will tame your challenges and thrive❤️. Little steps, every day…at a point the pendulum shifts to good days!!

[@lisamason3299]

What a beautiful comment. You are also putting kindness out into the world! ❤

[@SavvySmiles11]

I think also what I’ve realized is that these positive vloggers know how hard life is. So their intention is to stay positive for us when we watch them in hopes it can uplift us and be a place to go to when we’re feeling down 💕 But while still being real of course! I might sound dramatic, but vlogs like these have helped my anxiety and depression a lot 💕 a lot of it is realizing we can romanticize the mundane things in life and create our own magic

[@annette.1030]

Id love you to show us a Christmas market that's in your area! Having you show us what's sold, handcrafted, the foods they feature, drinking a hot cocoa, just the experience of feeling like we get to come along among a Christmas ambiance is nice! And for other vlogmases your simple vlogs are just as entertaining! Just watching you cook/bake, your routines, hand making an ornament (acorns with glitter?), your Christmas traditions, preparations for 12/24-25, etc. Thanks for making such lovely content for us!

[@JM_Rosebranch]

A list of products I so very much hope Morgan decides to create some day: 1. A puzzle for every season🧩 2. A calendar 🗓 3. All the sweaters!👕🧥🥼 4. Large art prints🖼 Considered it took 5 months to make the puzzle, because you choose such high quality wonderful companies to manufacture your products, I know all of that is a remarkable amount of work, but I so very much adore your art and creative style I absolutely love to see it grow ❤. Also, you have shared that mac and cheese recipe a few times, and it always blows me away that the "cheese" is really just vegetable soup. It looks incredible! (Side note, all the clumsiness in this video was hilarious and absolutely charming!) As far as things I would like to see, honestly your ordinary magic is wonderful enough, but I find Portland so fascinating! The cute shops, the gorgeous nature, the restaurants, I honestly cannot get enough of its whimsy. I live in an area a little devoid of all of that so I love when you share the area. It seems like you guys really love it. And to Ari, what a fantastic accomplishment! ❤❤❤ It is so amazing to hear you called last year at the start of your journey and look how far you are now! Amazing! And a truly incredible message about change.

[@hazelgator6548]

Oh I would LOVE a calendar!!

[@hat7808]

“The grove of talking trees” is very Anne of Green Gables 🥰 her renaming different places has always been one of my favorite parts of my favorite book

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

I love that too!❤

[@quietlife7186]

As uninspiring as it sounds, I actually enjoy just spending time with you, Landon and Roo when you are doing your normal life. I would love to hear about Landon's hiking and his thoughts about the time that he spent. I was tremendously blessed to be able to see you growing through your time apart, but I was so relieved and excited to see you back together as a family once again!!!! I'm always up for a trip to Powell's, a trip to your birthday bridge or the forest, or some artsy shop in your area. You have a lot of interesting places to visit that most of us will never have a chance to see. But, my favorite is just spending time with you, Landon and Roo!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤ Oh!!! I'd love to see you and Randi Lynn crafting together or just hanging out together as well!!!! ❤❤❤

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

Yes friend! That was the first thing that popped into my head when Mo asked for ideas...my mind immediately went to Randi😊. I'd also be interested in hearing Landon's story about his hiking trip or even his handyman business. He mentioned it again when he went to buy Doe's doughnuts. I also agree with you, friend, that it is enough just watching Morgan, Landon and Roo living their lives...it doesn't have of need to be anything fancy.

[@KrisAddington]

If you have central heat you can turn your thermostat to fan only and it will circulate the air from the living room to the bedrooms without the cost of running the heater!

[@OnelineadaywithLaura]

I would like to see in a vlogmas a "read with me by the tree" 😊🎄

[@sherylbrankley5847]

I love it when you take Roo to the woods for a walk. I love to watch you cooking. The Mac and cheese looked so good! Please make more Christmas treats!

[@morganinwanderland]

My Christmas wish is that everybody could be as happy as Roo is doing his zoomies in the forest🥰Just checked out those books from the library 📚 I love just cozy at home daily life vlogs. Would also love to see Christmasy things around Portland - events, markets, etc. 🎄

[@sarahgray1345]

Loving Vlogmas again this year! Best part of my day. Idea for a video: One of our favorite things to do as a family at Christmas is drive around and look at Christmas lights, the more Griswoldesque the better! I can totally see you and Landon (and Roo too) cruising around Portland neighborhoods checking out people’s displays! Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 ❤

[@greekmermaid11]

Ideas: 1) Christmas on the Oregon Coast. 2) A train ride up and down the West Coast. 3) A boat ride down the Willamette and or Columbia Rivers. 4) How other parts of Oregon celebrate Christmas. 5) Whale watching.

[@goblinqueen0141]

Yes to all of this but DEFINITELY whale watching!

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

I'm curious about the train ride. I've heard people talk about it before.

[@sereneadair4941]

Another great video Morgan!. Congratulations Ari on your sobriety. Keep stacking those 24 hours!

[@abigailwoodruff6259]

The perfect thing to curl up with before sleep! I'm in the UK, so I usually am late to watch, but today I'm ending the day on a high note. ❤️

[@suespiers9943]

Hi, I am in the UK too ❤

[@ryanandmichellenisle8236]

I can’t imagine how exhausting and how much work it is to put out a video every day, let alone in December, one of the most busy times of the year! So, thank you Morgan! It is so festive and enjoyable for us to watch and we appreciate it!! ❤

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

Congratulations on almost a year of sobriety, Ari! That is such an accomplishment. Thank you for being brave and sharing it and your message with us all. May this Christmas season be a wonderful one for you and your continued journey of living alcohol free.❤ Big hugs, friend!

[@lyriclovercrafts]

Hi Morgan…I absolutely love your Vlogmas series every year and I’m extra enjoying it this year! Your videos are pure coziness and light.🩷✨ I really enjoy your cooking sessions and vegan food shares. I just love everything about your videos… they’re so genuine and real with just the right amount of cinematic magic! Thank you for giving us this gift and a safe cozy place to land. ⭐️✨🩷 xo Amber

[@nobunk1234]

Thank you for your positive message Ari and congrats on your sobriety 👏. Morgan, if you have any crafts going that would be fun to watch!

[@abrahamkabbalah]

Can we talk about Landon’s glow up????? The mustache looks awesome and he has more weight on him looks stronger and healthier! Love you both! ❤

[@ummato3]

I so love your forest walks....it's my sanctuary too. What a soothing and calming vlogmas video 🕊️. For this time of year... perfect! Thank you ❤ You asked for suggestions....ZOO LIGHTS! I've never been and I know that Portland's Woodland Park Zoo has a beautiful light display! Oh what fun it would be to see you and Landon romp through those gorgeous lights 💡🎄💡 Thank you Morgan 🎄Thank you Ari! 🎄

[@sarahyancey7622]

Hi Morgan! I’ve been watching vlogmas for a couple years now and it never fails to inspire me to appreciate the little moments of warmth and magic! I’ve loved seeing your day to day, especially the recipes you’re trying, your routines and self care, errands, and cozy moments! and for ideas for the future, I would love to see you make a craft, walk us through a fun new festive hairstyle or make up look, play an interactive game with Landon, trying some new activity you’ve never tried before, or making some homemade gifts or gift tags for people! Oh! And I love a good Landon cam moment ✨

[@SheRunsWildandFree]

Contented sigh....mmmm...Ending my day with your Vlogmas videos each day has become one of my favorite things! I so wanna try the yummy Mac and cheese! And the snow globe is so beautiful! I would love to see more holiday crafts, you are so talented! Also maybe some holiday books and as always more cooking /baking! I love it when Landon and Roo and You are all together as well! Y'all are just precious! Sending you a huge Christmassy hug! See you tomorrow! 🎄❤

[@hazelgator6548]

Wow wow wow I loved this vlogmas edition Morgan! It was such a warm cozy intimate hug. :) Yummy drinks, delicious food, puzzles, restorative journaling, and warm fires. It's so special you welcome us into your home like this. ❤ P.S. RoO was especially adorable in this one. That little RoO ball!! P.P.S. I honestly would be happily content with vlogs similar to this one - but maybe for a future idea you and Landon could go on a walk and check out neighborhood Christmas lights?

[@jillychandler]

I especially enjoy your craft making, and thanks to you making those paper stars last year, I have been gifting them to my friends with their Christmas presents this year - they are so easy to make, and look so lovely, so thank you again for that! Blessings from a cold West Devon, England, and Jilly & Madge. xxx

[@lorieallen9791]

Hello to one of my favorite couples! I cannot say thank you enough for sharing your holiday season with us! It is the highlight of my day, sitting down to watch your cozy activities, routines, and the overall joy and spirit you bring to every episode. In terms of ideas, I really enjoy seeing you cook. Maybe a trip to one of your favorite grocery stores to see the special seasonal items they have? I live in rural NC and even the nearest Trader Joes is an hour away! Or perhaps an interactive game night with a friend or two. The sort where you ask questions and the responses reveal more about the person. A great way to learn more. Actually, I would watch you read the phone book (yes, im that old), and I would still be entertained! Happy holidays and thanks for all of the time and effort. Its much appreciated!

[@CaitiSM]

Ideas (from a fellow Portlander!): Peacock Lane! Night shopping at Powell's again. Watching the Christmas ships on the river. Getting a gift for a Toy Drive or Giving Tree (for example, the coffeeshop Cà Phê has a giving tree I believe). The annual Tuba Christmas Concert in Pioneer Square. Visit a new neighborhood, might I suggest St. Johns with a visit to Wonderwood Springs cafe and the bookstore/yarn shop across the street? Make paper snowflakes. Try a holiday special drink at a coffeeshop. Follow the PDX Sidewalk Joy map to a few spots :)

[@karenholbert609]

We just had our Tuba Christmas here in Blacksburg, VA! So incredibly cool that random talented musicians can just gather and play so beautifully!

[@CaitiSM]

@@karenholbert609 Love that! I had no idea it was in other cities too!

[@tonyalevans-woods9075]

Thank you for doing vlogmas, I look forward to it everyday. You bring sunshine to so many☀️💗

[@kaiju_k5042]

I watched Elf for the first time 2 years ago because of your vlogmas, and now I can't watch it without hearing your voice in my head saying that Landon is Buddy the Elf personified haha, so cute! This is so sweet and lovely, only few minutes in but what a pure comfort on this cold night, thank you Morgan

[@leslieh6739]

Congratulations Ari. That’s wonderful! 👏 Thank you for your message

[@caitlinworth6329]

I always love your baking and cooking segments. More festive baking would be great. Maybe some cafe touring to check out the decorations. Nature walks are sweet, too. Also, long live the 30+ minute vlogs!

[@hmabutas]

Oh Morgan I so love your holiday vlogmas. It’s wonderful to end the day knowing theres a lovely, kind, sweet video to tune in to. I don’t really have any suggestions other than any of your little craft things that you do, a trip to the bookstore, or even following along on a little illustration. No matter what you do I will be here in the evening under a cozy blanket ready to watch. 🥰

[@shannonreirden9073]

You have recently become my comfort creator :) the crying at little women is ssoooo real. That’s my ultimate comfort movie for whenever I need a good sob. As for video suggestions I was thinking I would love to see what you use for your hair, it’s very long and shiny. Taking us whale watching would be amazing if possible. A Q&A with either just you or you and Landon could be fun! Oorrr a fun little seasonal illustration tutorial that we can follow along with!

[@nadinemiller9933]

Hi Morgan THANK YOU for doing Vlogmas this year again - as someone that spends holidays alone I am TRULY grateful for these 🥰They make me feel part of a family somehow. I would like to know will you be making more puzzles to sell - I am so sad I missed this years one. 😒 Thank you again

[@jilliang4151]

I love hearing about the books you're reading and general book updates, more content like that would be great! :) Loving your vlogmas videos btw, they're so cozy and never fail to make me smile.

[@A107S]

🎄Hello Morgan, Landon, and Roo! It is our new tradition to watch your vlogs with my kiddos daily. They laugh SO hard when Roo is doin his Roo shenanigans. I have 3 young boys, and they are definitely adorable “ruffians wreaking havoc” too. ❤❤❤😂 The moment you decide to restock your puzzles, we’re gonna definitely get one. The kids and I adore puzzling and we are currently doing a Christmas advent calendar puzzle. ☕️Thanks for the cozy vlogs

[@brenda4523]

Thank you for another great day of Vlogmas! Ari, congratulations on your sobriety!! Today was a big day for me Morgan. Last year during Vlogmas I whined about eating a lot of soup after dental work and had more coming in January. Well, today, was the day I have been waiting for after 18 months! 🎉 I do want to thank you for helping me through a very tough time in my life with your fun and heartfelt videos. You have no idea what you do for so many people of all ages all over the world. This year we chalk painted the gingerbread houses from last year's craft and had so much fun doing them. I gifted the girls with your puzzle and your Portland postcard because one graduated from UP! Your art is all over my home and shop. Here's my idea. 😁 My dog Daisy needs a postcard sized art to hang above her dog bowls. I'd love to see Roo model for some artwork for above the doggy dishes. Thank you for making me smile all around my home!

[@karenholbert609]

Yippee-Kai-Yay for your big day, Brenda❤️

[@froggie211]

Something my boyfriend and I always do every winter around Christmas is have a scavenger hunt in the woods. There's even printable ones online. They're fun! 😊 I love your vlogmas videos, so much fun to watch!

[@trinaansel9985]

Morgan, I love your videos! Thanks for making my nights better! I love watching you and Landon! 😊❤

[@sahyasamson]

I look forward to your vlogmas video every day. I have chronic fatigue and watching your warm glowing vlogs are really cozy and healing. Thank you Morgan ❤

[@ElaineGallagher-f6b]

Hello Morgan, I'm really enjoying all your content, you are such a talented illustrator. I love your blue and pink christmas jumper, it is very vintage. The messages at the end of each video are really special. No one does vlogmas like you, the messages at the end are unique and unlike other content out there. xx

[@RDebroux]

Thank you for another cozy video! The forest was so beautiful thanks for sharing! Congratulations Ari ❤ we are all so proud of you❣️☺️

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

My video ideas is cozy hobbies and what I eat in day. Also thank you Ari for reaffirming that I'm doing the right thing quitting my job to be a full time student again ❤.

I would love to see more baking or crafty/DIY things in your videos! Thanks so much, I’m loving Vlogmas!❤️🎄

Hi Morgan! I would love to see the chocolate cake recipe again this year for Christmas eve, a video about you and Landons traditions, winter capsule wardrobes, how do you style your bangs, have you done the "color" test?, winter tbr, walk through how Morgan composes a soundtrack - love your soundtracks. Enjoying your vlogmas!!!

[@Serenitystitcher]

Loving the daily vlogmas!! It brings calmness during a chaotic time. I would love to see some of your city’s holiday decorations!! Thank you for the sharing this holiday season with us!!

[@Charlotte-ud2to]

Ari, I'm so proud of you! I'm on a path to make a lifestyle choice I know isn't widely accepted and I'm nervous! Your message gives me strength to carry on ❤

[@mollyjaybooks]

Lol Landon and Roo having the zoomies is too funny, along with the fact Landon bought 3 snow globes 😂😂 Also you making that mac 'n cheese is so evil!! It's nearly 2:30am! I can't be hungry and I'm about to go to bed lol 😂😂

[@sarahyancey7622]

I thought of another idea! Maybe you and Landon reviewing your favorite moments from your favorite Christmas movies!

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

That's a fun one!

[@samanthageiger5851]

Trying a new holiday cookie recipe! I’ve been enjoying baking cookies to warm up the house but need to learn more vegan cookie recipes to share with loved ones. Jolly season to you! ♥️👏🍪❄️

[@suzanneparvey4346]

Another fun Vlogmas Morgan. That mac and cheese looked so good and great idea to add the cabbage. I love the snow globe Landon picked out for you. It"s beautiful. (love Harry Potter) You asked for some suggestions for Vlogmas videos so i would suggest going to see Christmas lights around the city. There are so many great choices around Portland. I know you would love Zoo Lights. I went for the first time last year and its fabulous. Looking for the Santa clones is always a fun challenge too. I know you did it one year for Vlogmas. i found them myself the first year they did it. I always enjoy your cooking/baking and your holiday book suggestions. Maybe a trip to Powells to browse books with Christmas/Winter themes. Ari thank you for your inspiring message about not putting things off as life is too short. Congratulations on 11 months and 15 days of sobriety.

[@tatersprecious5827]

I've been reading This Year it WIll Be Different regularly for over 20 years!!! I love Maeve Binchy. I miss her writing! In so many books, one of the main characters in the book is a side character in a later book. It's such a world build!

[@MichaelaCourand]

I love your videos and look forward to your vlogmas each day and year! An idea is to maybe spend an afternoon grabbing a cozy drink and wandering through Powell's! I always loved seeing your videos there.

[@wanderlustrhiannon]

omg i’ve been working on your puzzle too and it’s sooo magical!! finishing it in 3 hours is so impressive, i feel like it takes me ages to complete one😂 thank you so much for doing vlogmas, it has brought me immense joy having one of your videos to watch every day☺️

[@michelled.3849]

It’s fun spending time with you even if it’s virtually.

[@Esther-bi3vj]

Morgan, you and Landon are such sweet people! Love watching you 2. The forest walk was beautiful. I have no forest close to me, but i loved that you shared yours. 🩷

[@reynamahant8319]

Hello Morgan, Roo & Landen ( sorry if speeded wrong). I wanted to say i look forward to watching your vlogmas videos. This is my 2nd year. I started watching your channel last year. You do a great job. Love watching Roo too. He’s such a cutie. I’d like to see Christmas lights… like you three take a drive throughout neighborhoods and see the Christmas decorations people have done. Have a wonderful evening and day.

[@lovelifementoring5399]

Watching with my 3 year old granddaughter and she loved your video. ❤❤❤ Great message Ari.

[@amyfrosty]

Lovely vlog Mo & Landon, I’m a huge Harry Potter fan so that snow globe is so dreamy! I don’t think we’d be able to get that in the UK 😭😭 goodnight xx in terms of what I’d like to see, you can never go wrong with taking us along on outside adventures (I love seeing Portland and your beautiful forests from across the pond), and BOOKS 😂 maybe some new recommendations for winter?? 🥰🥰 But most of all, you and Landon being just you & Landon, we love you guys. Xx Ps - congratulations Ari, keep going girl you’re doing amazing and winning life 🥰🥰🥰

[@courtneyshackelford4888]

I’d love seeing Portland through your eyes! I’ve never been and would love to visit one day, but ‘til then, a mini tour of something especially “Portlandian” would be lovely! ❤

Your vlogs have been giving so much joy 🩷 thank you so much and especially the messages at the end, they fill up my heart. In terms of video ideas, maybe some gift wrapping, going to Christmas markets if you have any around, volunteering or donating for those in need? Hope these ideas help and can’t wait for the next videos 🩷 you’re a wonderful human Morgan

[@redvioletsblueroses]

A fun video idea may be showing us a fun DIY christmas craft like a garland using oranges or making fun holiday drinks to try (you’ve inspired me to try to make the gingerbread latte!) love your videos and look forward to them! ❤

[@SuziP55]

The forest was magical on video at least haha!

[@ameliaalsina8990]

Hi! I love it when you go to cute stores, bookshops or cafes in your city! I've been planing to go out by car with my two daughters to see the Christmas lights nearby listening Christmas songs, and with a cup of hot chocolate. It could be a good idea for you too.

[@KeriLudwig1027]

I have always wanted to comment, Morgan, and decided to do it today. I live in Seaside, Oregon and I really enjoy your vlogs, but most importantly, think Landon is the best. He is really a good guy and a keeper :)

[@starlasell5698]

❤❄️🎄❤️ I love Little Women! That Mac-n-Cheese looks delicious! I love Nisha, and my husband got me her new cookbook for Christmas. I can't wait! 😉 I LOVE the snow globe!! I'm reading Winter Solstice in January. 😊 Adding A Week in Winter to tbr! Thanks! Merry Christmas, Ari! Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@jenns.7887]

Loving Vlogmas so much! A video where you visit Powells would be fun! Maybe grab some cozy winter reads ❤

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I love your sweater ! And I have the Winter Mauve Binchy book so I will read it, Thanks. I am so enjoying vlogmas 😊

[@Intentionallivinghawaii]

I would love to see Christmas lights or decorations around town.

[@leslieinglis6949]

Oh your forest jaunt was so refreshing, I could smell the air as you described it! Now I want to take a trip up north to Yanbaru National Park. 🥰 I’m looking forward to working on your puzzle with my kiddo. it’s still wrapped in its ribbon sitting under our little tree waiting for Christmas Eve Eve to be enjoyed. 😅😊 The Mac & cheese sounds scrumptious,I love butternut squash I wonder how it would taste if I swapped that for kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) 🤔 perhaps it’s worth experimenting! The 20 minute candles are a wonderful to keep time in an analog way to safe guard the space from screens. I have some incense (they come packaged like a little matchbook w/ mini incense matches) from a brand called hibi that is featured and recommended by the staff who run the Travelers Factory I believe they give off aroma for 10 mins or so, that might be a nice way to keep time too. 😊 I keep trying to find the perfect holiday snowglobe here in Japan, I’ve looked for 3-4 years now but haven’t come across “the one” 😅 there is something so magical about a good snow globe. Regarding vlogmas requests I would love to see you do something special for the winter solstice (it’s on a Saturday this year so that’s nice) whether it’s watching the sunrise or moonrise or something else out in nature would be quite magical. We plan to visit a local botanical garden that hosts gorgeous winter illumination. Ooh a visit to the Grotto or there is a historic home near the Portland speed way that is beautifully decorated with tons of lights… or the zoo lights could be a really fun way to celebrate the solstice! I’d just love to see a little snippet of Downtown decorated either the Pearl District or Pioneer Square/ Hawthorne St. I have core festive memories of my Mom taking me to the Meier & Frank flagship in pioneer square to visit Santa & ride the Xmas train they had inside 😍🥰 (I’m about a decade older than you, an 85’ baby). Thank you for another beautiful, festive vlog.

[@donutgirlbegamin]

I would love to see more recipes and maybe some crafting! You could make snowflakes out of Popsicle sticks. Also we have to see Landon dressed as Santa again lol.

[@pheonixfeather292]

Congratulations, Ari! What a beautiful message, too.

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Thank you on this Tuesday that was a bit frantic for me. Your video was a nice way to wind down ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@stephaniesmit4965]

Just sharing in your everyday life is lovely, Morgan. But, if you'd like ideas: favorite cozy sweaters/ outfits, nature walks, holiday arts and crafts- you could make your own sure globe!

[@reganstandlick7520]

I love your apron, Roo is the cutest. man the mac n cheese looks like heaven. Is there a way to make this if you don't have an instant pot? I just like seeing you, I don't feel like you have to do anything specific

[@corinna_maybe]

I love Vlogmas! Of course nothing can top a spider infestation, or Landon going down a mudslide, but I enjoy all your content - especially the DIY stuff. You inspired me to get a perverse amount of salt and flour to make a garland :D Maybe you could wrap gifts and decorate them, or trying knitting/crochet? We're here for the ride :)

[@Charlotte-ud2to]

You go Morgan! Thanks for another vlog! As an answer to things I would like to see, I just want to shout out some ideas in my mind that might give you inspiration 😊 - A read with me - An (updated) christmas sweater collection - I loved the videos where you went antique shopping. Maybe you can take us on a hunt for something to do with Christmas? - A light tour where you take us to see the Christmas lights in Portland Just some ideas 😊

[@Lisasvlogdiary]

Dear Morgan, I really love your videos from start to now, its what I look forward to most at the end of the day! Can't tell you what it means to me. You and Landon make me laugh, and if possible I'd love to see him more in your videos! He adds such a cozy and funny vibe which I crave :) Not that you're not humorous too of course! Roo is darling, how old is he?? I have struggled with health issues/mild depression since day 1 and I'm still struggling, but watching your videos has saved me. PS: Love the scene in the woods when Landon was running around with Roo! lol. Sweet dreams! :D PPS: I'm also reading Winter Solstice and loving it!!

[@bethanywhite7904]

The Little Women movie with Wynona Ryder is my favorite version of Little Women! I watch it at least once a year.

[@sallyjones4239]

Morgan! I love my Puzzle ! It is hard which I like! Merry Christmas to you , Landon and Ron! Especially, sweet Too!

[@sallyjones4239]

roo!

[@StorybooksandScrapbooks]

I think you would also love Tara Road by Maeve Binchy. I loved it! It was more of a Fall Read. She and Rosamunde Pilcher are incredible authors and I just love reading about people who live in different countries. What they eat, wear, traditions and rituals, activities, are all so interesting to me. I have loved every single one of your Vlogmas videos. You could do day in the life everyday of vlogmas and I would be happy. It's fun to see what everyone on the other side of the US is doing.

What a unique mac and cheese recipe! I need to change my diet as much as I don't want to. I'm trying to manage my health and I'm trying to stay away from cheese for a month so I can see if I feel better, so it's nice to see cheese alternatives. I love that sweater on you! I'm working on your puzzle and savoring it throughout the month. I was so fortunate to receive the post card of the puzzle and I use it while doing the puzzle for a closer look when I need help. Are you guys going to go hunting for the Santa's again this year? I always enjoy seeing that in your vlogmas videos. Also it would be fun and funny to see you and Landon go buy each other a fun inexpensive gift maybe from a thrift store or dollar store and surprise each other. I remember doing that with a friend once it was really funny and fun!

I also bought and gave that journal to a friend and she was very happy 😊 Thank you for the idea

Happy Vlogmas! I’m loving all of your content. If you are running out of ideas, please return to Powell’s and downtown Portland with its lights. Some bookworms just love to look at books! 😂❤
