VLOGMAS 2020 Day 1: Christmas Details

[@jmitch8483]

I'm so happy that you're doing this again this year. It's become part of my own Christmas tradition! Blessings to you and your family.

[@donnagrifford7142]

Yippee 🥳

[@caitlinrl630]

I know these are a lot of work, but your cheerful attitude and beautiful home inspire me so much! I so enjoy keeping up with your sweet family during Vlogmas. Thank you for doing this! Have a blessed Advent and Christmas! ❤️ 🕯 ⭐️

[@saracarter683]

An audible gasp escaped my mouth when I saw this post in my feed.😍 Thank you , as always, for sharing!!

[@brendakelley3150]

Same here! Haha🎄

[@quilterinthewoods62]

This brought back such fond memories of when I was a little girl and when my children were little. Now, I have grandchildren to spoil!

[@sheilapellicane8507]

I am so happy your doing this Christmas vlog again! I look forward to each everyday.

[@Samantha.emiller]

One of the best parts of this season has been and is your Vlogmas. Always so well done Hilary! Cannot wait to watch this month.

[@susanvelez6534]

Little mice tree is so cute and little Luke's vice " yeah" gosh I can't believe how fast they have all grown and how wonderful their vocabulary is. I always spoke normal to my children too and they have wonderful vocabulary too. The book shelves look wonderful and not cluttered and love the real greenery.

[@vanessaherron5203]

Just so lovely, the children are so excited, I’m always so impressed how much you accomplish in a day. Every time I see Lucas, I swear he grows bigger by the week, time flies so fast. See you tomorrow 🌈

[@jeanieyelton1564]

So happy to see your smiling face. I love when you do every day. Your calm manner just gets me off to a good start. Thank you for sharing ❤️🎄

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

As you make Christmas memories and traditions with your children . . .you have become a tradition for me to watch your vlogmas every year in addition to your regular videos. So glad you do this. You are a great mom and homemaker as well as content creator!

[@jannier9766]

Yeah !! I am definitely sticking with you for Vlogmas. Christmas decorating has really been "medicinal" for me this year, lifting my spirits. (Have lost several friends to Covid). Everything looks so pretty, Hilary. I love seeing your "ordinary"- meaning like what you make for supper, tidy the kitchen.

[@cindyanderson8509]

I’m so excited you’re doing vlogmas again! I think that’s just what I need. Love it!

[@colorcrayon54]

Making real popcorn strings reminded me of myself as a young bride in the late 70’s. I didn’t have fishing line so I used thread, doubled. I actually kept mine for a couple of years to use again in a leftover sturdy gift box. So much fun! 🎄❤️🎄

[@paulinehillson9059]

I totally forgot about Vlogmas! I am thrilled it’s back. Thank you so much for doing it. What a great Christmas present! 🥰

[@sandicrawford6035]

I have found that stale popcorn works the best for string. It doesn’t break as easily. Have fun with your kiddos.

[@te4545]

What a cozy and fun day! We had a very dreary, rainy day here yesterday too but this morning has started with a lovely snowscape, an Old World Home Vlogmas video and my beloved cup of coffee. It’s the little things ❤️. Have a lovely day 😊.

[@teresanicole9005]

This year has been rough to say the least. The best way to end it is with the blessing of Vlogmas 💖🎄🙏🏼

[@margieanne9328]

I agree

[@Mariak82]

I have been watching all these years and excited for another vlogmas from you. :)

[@beckyfischer7025]

This video bought the true joy of Christmas. I loved it.

[@LifesLittleThingz]

Christmas prep is so much fun! Those little mice are too cute. I bet your home smells delightful with the popcorn on the tree 🎄

[@rebeccaplunk6951]

So, so glad you're doing Vlogmas again this year. I always look forward to your videos. Wow, I just noticed how long Evey's hair has gotten when she was standing watching the popcorn popper. Your kids are so cute and so sweet! I don't know how you get so much done with three young children. You are an amazing mom!

[@chlexiel.1022]

Your kids are so blessed to have you as their mom. ❤️❤️

[@aldl55]

Oh Hillary I just love all your vlogs and videos. It wouldn't be Christmas without them. I've adopted your family as my own. You bring back those precious memories I had when my children were the same age as your children are. You and Dan are such loving parents. May God bless all of you always. Love Anna

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I love your garland creations! It's a joy to see others make Christmas beautiful. ❤️

[@hwojo6854]

So enjoyable.....that Wilton pan brought back so many memories🎄🎄🎄🎄love the built ins decorated ! Tree looks awesome! TYFS🎄🎄

[@ktmartinez6124]

I make those same rolls in a Bundt pan the same way with the addition of a small box (not instant) butterscotch pudding in the sugar mixture let them rise over night and cook 350 25mins than turn upside down onto a plate, they’re to die for !!

[@cathiejo2165]

Read about the coolest thing to do with cards. Put them in a basket on your table. Then each meal pull out a card and pray for the family that sent it to you! I just loved this idea to slow me down and actually think of and pray for those we have in our lives and maybe take for granted this time of the year....

[@OldWorldHome]

Love that!

[@jodisampson4508]

I'm so happy your doing vlogmas again, I really look forward to it !! Your sweet little family just warms my heart!!

[@sjp4u338]

This is just what we need. Thank you so much. 🎁🎅🏼❤️🌺

[@beckyray8746]

Popcorn garland...I love the old look of that....I usually put a cranberry in between every so many kernels too. Adds a little pop of red.

[@OldWorldHome]

I love that idea too! Maybe next year ❤️

[@ChasingTheSunn]

I'm a long time follower of yours. I think the 1st video I ever watched of yours was your fireplace diy in your old house, Just wanted to say thanks for never changing! You have kept your videos true to yourself, and that is why I still watch them. Wishing you and your family the best holiday season!

[@gwenvann7279]

I love how the built ins came out. So pretty!

[@gailallen2895]

We have an overflow of Christmas books also. Think I will stack some in old child's chair used long ago in our family church. Always have a box to put things in as you replace with Christmas decor. It really helps. Enjoy those Sweeties. They grow way too fast!

[@kimkay8635]

Yay Vlogmas, I look forward to this every year! I love your new bookshelves and how you decorated them for the holidays. 🌲

[@revonda5204]

I can't tell you how happy I was to see Vlogmas 2020 pop up on my phone!! 😍I had totally forgotten that it was December & time to start. I had only been pretty much binge watching Vlogmas for 2017, 2018, and 2019 over the past couple months & still forgot!! 🤯 Another great Christmas Vlog. 🎄🎄 Thank you once again for sharing! 🙏🎄❤

[@yvonnebrown1585]

So happy to have you back. I'm going to put up my tree today. I love watching the children take part in the decorating. I'm a retired Primary teacher and loved making decorations with them. Will be watching daily. Happy December, rain and all. 🤗🤗🌲

[@kerryborst8764]

Thank you for doing Vlogmas again this year. Takes me back to when my kids were young, also 2 girls and one boy. Now they have young adult children of their own! You are so wise to spend so much time enjoying your home & children. So enjoyable! Love your channel. God bless!

[@dianaragub-schwartz4416]

Yeay!!! This is part of my Christmas tradition. Thank you for doing this Hillary.

[@larag1764]

I envy you that rain - my area of Australia had it's driest November in 150 years 😔 Gorgeous little heads watching the popcorn pop !! Stay safe and best wishes from Australia xx

[@greenwillow5404]

Yay! You're doing Vlogmas for us! Thank you so much Hilary. Enjoyed this first one so much. Really love the darling little mouse tree in your girls' room.🎄🐁 So sweet. Your built ins look gorgeous. It must have been so fun having your movie night in your newly finished basement.

[@JustMe-tk2rp]

Love the homey feeling that comes through your blogs. FYI you can use needle point needles which have a blunt tip for stringing popcorn. No tears or expletives if you stick yourself 💜🌲

[@OldWorldHome]

Smaaaaaart 😅

[@stephaniecripe7339]

I am so glad to be able to watch vlogmas every day! Thank you Hilary 🎄

[@Happy_life117]

Yay!! Vlogmas is back.....so excited to share my morning coffee with you😁

[@tinasmith8735]

I’m so glad you’re doing Vlogmas again this year. I love your videos. I really like the way you include your children in all that you do in your home, from cooking to decorating. It makes them feel valued and a part of your family. God bless your beautiful family.

[@northwoodslife8456]

This is one of my favorite Christmas gifts: Hilary's vlogmas!

[@bsacagawea]

Hurray!! Your vlogmases bring me such joy 🥰🥰 I even go back and watch old ones every now and then!

[@jansmith8021]

The lights on the girls tree probably just had a loose bulb, easy fix! I just check each bulb until I find the culprit! 😊🎄

[@sarahedgar8812]

Yay! As usual I am delighted to see another vlogging season from you.

[@dianakendrick6354]

Hilary you have everything looking so cozy and beautiful. My grandmother use to string popcorn and put it on the tree every year, brings back wonderful memories of my childhood.

[@toniezell8743]

Thanks for sharing! I love how you decorated for Christmas, very pretty🎄

[@nancymondragon7206]

What a nice surprise! I had forgotten Vlogmas!! ✨💖✨

[@laurieg6416]

Vlogmas! Hooray! Thank you for inviting us into your daily life.

[@donush9139]

Glad to See You Doing Your Christmas Vlogs. I Really Enjoyed It

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

Thanks for sharing your family’s activities during this Advent season. The anticipation of Christmas brings us such joy. It’s nice to have extra JOY to share with others.

[@karenstone3625]

Hi Hilary...my morning cuppa tea with you and “vlogmas 2020”. YIPPEE 💛

[@pew9277]

Everything is looking lovely. Here in NC we have around 5 inches of snow and it's still coming down. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. God bless you all. 🎄🎄

[@jendyson6729]

Everything looks nice! I basically pack up 90 percent of my living room before I put out the Christmas decor. I feel like the decorations stand out more and the room doesn't end up looking cluttered. Glad you are doing vlogmas again! Oh also, I love the popcorn garland, you can also use Kix cereal for those which look really cute :)

[@geriv1582]

Just love your blogs!! So happy you're doing it again this season!!! Thank you!! Yours are my favorite!!

[@marilyncasas6679]

Happy Holiday Hillary! I'm so glad you're doing vlogmas this year, that makes me so happy.🎄

[@homemakingwithmarissa]

Those sticky buns are a family favorite! They are so good!

[@midlifemom5829]

Love your channel , especially during holidays. Its a nice escape from S. California life which lacks in seasons, and nice slower pace of life. I love the thrifting treasures u find!

[@marieradatsz4126]

So glad to have you back daily xxx

[@barbkrieser8972]

Happy to see you are doing Vlogmas again... enjoyed last year very much!!!🦌🎄🎄🎄⛄⛄🤶 See you tomorrow ☺️♥️🥰

[@misshollybrooke]

Omg I’m drooling over your homemade garlands! You’re so lucky to live with such beautiful trees around you. We live in a new build so we miss mature trees!!

[@luella2897]

To keep the popcorn from breaking easily, it is a good idea to pop the day before. Also, you can keep them from year to year! Just put in a plastice ziplock bag and it will look great ! ps, I had a couple strands that ended up looking "buttered" just from aging about 10 years !! LOL !!

[@susannek4546]

Everything looks beautiful! I have gotten inspired by how many things you find while thrifting and now I feel the need to go out with my daughter again soon. Those embroidery pics are so sweet!

[@annacooremans485]

Enjoyed your vlog! How awesome you can create your own garlands from your backyard!

[@trudymckay1753]

Yay!! I am so happy Vlogmas is back! I've been looking forward to this, thank you Hillary.

[@tg3609]

So happy you are doing this! Thanks so much for all the time you give to us in sharing your talents.

[@carolynshealy5536]

Everything is looking great. Excited for vlogmas.

[@msmary126]

Yes! I love your vlogmas! I'm also re-watching the vlogs from 2 years ago bc my baby girl was born 3 weeks ago and I love seeing your vlogs from when Luke was a baby!

[@marymartinez8047]

The tree in the girls’ room is adorable with the mice. Hope the lights are an easy fix. Can’t wait to see your main tree with the popcorn strand. It’ll add to the natural look in your home. Shelves looking awesome and I love how the tree lights reflect on shelves items. Did the cookies turn out?

[@OldWorldHome]

They were okay, a few stuck and broke on their way out but they tasted fine 💛

[@mildredbc5425]

Yay! So happy your doing Christmas vlogs !💕🏡🎄🎉

[@juanitahill4832]

Your tree looks gorgeous, as well as the built ins. The tiny nativity scene on the scale is super adorable! Thank you, looking forward to December and your vlogs. Thank you Hillary.

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

So happy you are doing Vlogmas, thank you I so enjoy it. If you can’t find your wreath hanger you can always use Command hooks. Your chicken salad looks so delicious. I love seeing your everyday activities. You and the kids are doing a great job Christmas decorating. Everything looks so festive.

[@becomingbrooke9339]

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy Vlogmas!!!! You are such a joy to watch! Your timeless decor style is so very charming and inspirational! Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to vlogging, I appreciate you!

[@carlabergman8780]

Love watching along! Love the bookcase!

[@darettablack3794]

I had some thanksgiving gravy leftover so I made a vegetable soup......it was so delicious 😋 and it’s perfect for today because it’s cold. The soup you made looked yummy 😋. I make popcorn garland every year for my tree,normally my grand Grand children help but not this year,they’re not able to because of the virus so it was kind of sad me having to make it by myself. Everything looks so beautiful in your home and cozy you always do a wonderful job love your videos♥️. God bless sweet family and I pray you will have a wonderful evening........🎄😊💞🎄

[@cmbdaisy]

[@loveandlife4222]

I enjoyed this blog so much! I love the popcorn you strung for your tree. I have some i strung for my tree that has lasted over 25 years. It will last you a long long time!

[@OldWorldHome]

Wow!! I had no idea it could last

[@ericagoehring1089]

Hooray for Vlogmas! My four year old watched with me, and she said, "She has a beautiful house!" :) Indeed! And a beautiful spirit. I can't wait to follow you through December.

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

Helloooo December 😍 Love the Scripture!
