[@NatalieBennett]

SENDING SO MUCH LOVE AND HOLIDAY WISHES TO YOU ALL! I hope you have a wonderful week! Don't forget to turn on that bell so you don't miss the video going up next week! It's a gooooood one! edit: Sorry for the abrupt end of the music during the mantle decorating portion of the video! I got flagged for copyright with a song I was given permission to use ( 😤) so I had to overlay one of KZbin's tracks and there's no way to do a nice Natalie-style fade-out.

"Well, sometimes we have to do jobs that we don't like" 😆 Good training, Mama!

[@Joybug_51]

My English Nan was only 4ft 10in., but she was always busy and in charge (even at our house). She always insisted cleaning before your company was foolish as "they're only going to muck it up". No, we weren't going to clean in advance, but after the event. She would entertain us with funny explanations as to how certain messes were made while we cleaned up. "Oh, that was Uncle George dancing with his cookies." Or "I watched your Dad hide that teacup on the mantle." I think I enjoy your videos so much because your love of family is nearly as fierce as my own. I am always happiest when my daughters and grandsons are telling stories about growing up and spending holidays at our house.Your children will have such lovely stories to share and carry in their hearts because of the love you put into caring for them every day. Merry Christmas!

[@pamelamaurer2076]

I wish youtube was a thing when my kids were young. I was a stay at home mom and I would have loved this supportive community. You have all put words to what I felt as a stay at home mom. I functioned so much better with a clean and organized environment. I sometimes got teased by my kids and hubby but now I see how good it was for my mental health. I, like you, wanted to be able to enjoy the fun times with my kids (baking, projects etc.). The kitchen for SURE was a big one for me too. The first floor in general had to at least be organized for me to feel good .

My favorite Christmas song is a bit unusual. It’s called “I’ll Be Brave for Christmas” and is such a wonderful song for military kids who are facing yet another Christmas with a parent deployed. It came out very shortly after my Dad retired from active duty, but whenever I listen, I’m brought back to all of those Christmases when I was little with him gone again.

[@LivingWedlocked]

Missed the live today! We found out we are pregnant last week so we had a midwife appointment this morning, but I’m watching now!!!!

[@ItCameFromAVlog]

Congrats!

[@anitaprudnikow2088]

Congrats

[@pamelamaurer2076]

Wow, I am really impressed that you can let go of the deep cleaning stress around the holidays. You are ahead of the game if you can realize and actually follow through with that while your kids are still young. It is so HARD to let go of that inner pressure to have everything perfect.

[@chelseapena2209]

Love your mindset on not doing the deep cleaning during the holidays to keep yourself Cheerful for Christmas! I needed that reminder. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@annw1395]

You're such a sweet, loving, happy, gentle, upbeat person, and a delight to be around! What a great wife and mom!

[@DeLosAngeles88]

Thanks for putting your family/mental health ahead of social media and taking a break to enjoy the holidays. I want keep seeing the positive aspects of family vloggers. Your channel is still one I view and appreciate the realism and boundaries you have decided to make for you and yours. Don’t ever lose that spark you made for your channel. ❤️🎄 happy holidays Natalie!

[@caitlin9823]

I needed this today Natalie!! I made a long list of cleaning tasks to do and it exhausted me just making it. I end up overdoing it and resenting my husband and daughter for “messing” up my hard work. It’s important to slow down and soak up the MEMORIES.

[@cheriseforJesus]

All my cleaning recently has left me exhausted, depleted and grouchy. I so resonated with that comment as well. I’m a stay at home mom and have decided to give myself a vacation from today - Sunday. All the vacuuming and mopping can wait😆

[@victoriamyers9385]

My Grown Up Christmas List is my all time favorite Christmas song

[@EasyNaturalLiving]

Mine too!

[@ikrobiee]

Loved this video! You have it jam packed with so many inspiring moments. I’m going to use your idea for wrapping the throws I got for my nieces by twisting the ends! 😍

[@jadelevans98]

I can’t wait for a new year with this channel ❤️

[@mommingwithmegan8385]

I love “Mary did you know” by the pentatonix! I also love Baby it’s cold outside. Makes me think of Elf. Haha🎄

[@edenporter2643]

I just want to take a moment to thank you for your inspiring videos. You always put a new, much needed perspective on things that make me slow down a little. The holidays are my favorite time of year but I also get so stressed about everything being perfect and the house being clean to the max. But I'm learning that things dont always need to be perfect and that's it's good to slow down and enjoy family more. And you remind me of that and its always refreshing.

[@nikkihowell2014]

I love how you wore the santa hat while wrapping gifts! It's the little things 🙂

[@tonyapiper]

Omg you're so stinking cute with your Christmas tree and snowman pizzas! I love it.

[@katiewilson6561]

Ok....you got me up off the couch, and I'm folding my laundry while I watch now! Thanks for the motivation!! Favorite Christmas song - O Holy Night hands down!

[@tabealunse4047]

You are just soo sweet with your kids, I love it. My favorite christmas songs are 'All I want for christmas is you' and 'Christmas Time'.

[@jeanshimpeno45]

My kitchen and Master bedroom being clean always keeps me motivated to keep the rest of the house clean. I do bite size cleaning. A tidy in every room before bedtime. Love waking up to a clean home. I also de cluttered every room. Makes it so much easier to clean up. Less stuff means less mess. Love your videos.

[@kathrynowens2678]

So fun seeing all 3 peering in the oven in anticipation!!💓

[@jeffellis9462]

Hi Natalie, thank you so much for letting us join your lovely family for 2020, we have enjoyed, cleaning and shopping with you so much, and love your three little ones, and maybe a 4th soon? Jeff and Chel UK XXX

No baby on the way. We're content with our family size in this season of life. Thanks so much for watching!

[@psymompa]

Late to your Christmas video. 🌲🥰 I Find your videos relaxing while I work through my day. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeannegonzalez7367]

Watching this video after Christmas but still enjoying it just the same. Totally helping me motivate to get my Christmas stuff put away and go from there

[@healthylivingislam06]

Your videos/ blogs are so beneficial to watch. You have a wonderful family and a wonderful mama you are!

[@shannon3375]

Perfect timing! I have a mountain of laundry to fold and put away, plus some tidying up to do.

[@jnouetmorales]

My favorite oatmeal topping is some apples cooked in butter, a little maple syrup and cinnamon.

Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. Really hope you have a peaceful and happy new year. Here is hoping that 2021 will be a better year for everyone on this earth...

I always enjoy some baking and cleaning, great to see the family grow. Merry Christmas !

Hi neighbor! We are also snoopy fans in this home! We have the same gray blanket as you do as well! It’s sweet to see that you love snoopy and Jesus and live in Seattle area because I do too!

[@andcr8983]

Oh Natalie! I loved this video! wish you guys a great christmas.

[@lauracecchini2511]

Thanks so much Natalie. Your videos always cheer me up when I have a down day. Here in England approx half the country are in full lockdown and the rest can mix (up to 3 families) just for christmas day. Then it looks like we'll all be in lockdown again for January. Very different this year but we have to focus on what we have to be thankful for. Your videos help me with that. Thank you and I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas x

[@zoepermenter1213]

Your entire house declutter for the holidays inspired me to do the same! I spent all day today decluttering and then donating! I think I’ll continue tomorrow, too. Thanks for all the great content! I’m motivated to “get it all done” 😉

[@cheryls.8168]

“Angels We Have Heard on High” is my favorite Christmas song. “Baby Boy” is a close second. 😉

[@wendyphillips5660]

Great video. I love when you bring us through your day. Your kids are so sweet and I love your soft caring voice. I have always done each kid (I have 3) in their own wrapping paper, just as a little cute thing. Also their outfits are so cute that you picked out for them. We have always done matching sweaters or a theme for our family. Im trying to make the best of things this year, but I feel so bad for the people that don't get to see their family. I get to see mine, its only my husband and 3 kids for me, so I feel so blessed. God bless you and your family during this holiday season. You bring Joy to mine.

[@marandabell4471]

3rd time watching! my daughter loves your videos and we watch them together all the time!

Hi! Mom of grown kids again lol. Enjoy those children during this time! We decided when we had babies to not go anywhere Christmas day so they could take enjoy their Santa gifts all that day. Best decision ever. You have to do what works for your family.

🎄 kitchen is definitely that space for me that I can't stand not to be clean. I heard that your kitchen countertops determine your state of mind and it is very true to me. If I feel myself bad than kitchen is messy and vise versa. Happy Holidays to your family.

[@lifethroughhereyes3958]

Loved it again! Thanks for sharing, and I will sure be making some lists myself this week🙈. Crazy hectic life and our country is in lockdown. So lists for food, for my work (disabled care), lists for encouraging people online with our church (music) around Christmas... (oh, and it’s my birthday Wednesday, but usually that is not really a big thing, since I’m always singing or playing music around these days everywhere🙈.) Have a blessed Christmas week!

Merry Christmas to all! The prime rib Christmas supper is what I ask for for my birthday gift every year.(My birthday is the 25th also). The only bad part is, I have to do the cooking for it. Lol! So worth it though! Family and love is what it is all about! ❤🎄🎅❄ Making those wonderful memories!

[@katieallen6176]

Oatmeal, I add brown sugar, not healthy 🤣. I’ll have to try PB. I wrap gifts and put all under the tree. I have to put a baby gate up, this year we made a white picket fence to go around it. It’s pretty and doubles as decoration. After we make cookies I let the kids play with the doughy for a while too. I think they like that more 🤣.
