I read a quote that said something along the lines of: Rain is nature applauding your choice to stay in bed...and I think it's quite fitting for the start of this video ❤

[@Marmeladka38]

Oh, I like this logic very much, thank you for sharing ❤️

[@steffiristic]

I think everyone loves Roo, what a sweet, intelligent and lovely dog! Would it be possible for you to tell us his story, how he found you and the like? Maybe it can even be incorporated as a Vlogmas special - an extra video about Roo ❤️🐶

[@hannahcase3987]

Your uploads are so heart warming! You can make a rainy day vlog into beautiful art, and you are incredible at what you do!

[@ADuchessInside]

What a cozy Vlogmas video, Morgan! I really love when you hang around the house doing domestic things like puzzles and playing with Roo. (What a smart boy!) It's so relaxing to watch. 😊 If you're open to watching classic movies, Max is streaming Christmas in Connecticut from 1945 and Holiday Affair from 1949, both wonderful, funny romantic comedies. Oh, and The Shop Around the Corner from 1940. You've Got Mail was based on it. Thanks for providing daily holiday fun and comfort with your videos. ♥

[@LS-um3zq]

That hide-n-go-seek with Roo was excellent! The Santa display is whimsical!

[@swansongvintage2639]

Portland is such a cool city! It's been fun seeing more of it during your vlogmas! I appreciate you!

[@abbierands9978]

These videos are such a gift Morgan, thank you for giving me something to look forward to each day! They've been especially great when my partner is on night shifts (he's a paramedic) - they make the long evenings much less lonely 💖💖

[@tamar3859]

The end of this video gave me a happy, warm, tinglingly feeling. Yes, Morgan you're right. We do deserve to feel joy. Lana, from Croatia, thank you for that message! Breathing more often is definitely something I will practice. 😇 Thank you for that reminder!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy 1 week of Vlogmas!❤

[@mitzloo1933]

If only every dog could have a loving family like yours! ❤️❤️❤️

[@amandeepkaur4565]

This was so comforting! You're amazing, Morgan!!!

[@berlinmiller4617]

Monsieur Roo is so cute! You guys are great pet parents!💞🎄

[@abbiejohnson5223]

Those Santas are so fun! What a fun way to interact with and build the community ❤ Also, I really want to teach my border collie mutt how to pirouette now! 😄🐕‍🦺

[@brendaamos4523]

Vlogmas is like an advent calendar of sorts and I love it.I love your vulnerability to be excited on your channel and to share it with us. It's very real and very contagious because it lets us see the joy in big things and little things. It finally rained here the other day and I was out in it feeding the squirrels in my yard and there was some puddles on the back patio and I jumped in them and splashed around. My husband stuck his head out the backdoor and asked, "What are you doing?!" I'm jumping in the puddles! Have you never seen.58 year old woman splashing in puddles? 😁 It's the little joys of life! Never lose that magic Morgan! And that Roo, what a smart dog! I loved all his tricks. Daisy needs to learn some of those. I, too, suffer from anxiety. Some day we'll talk about Karen's wedding. Anyway, today I spray painted the gingerbread houses for the Christmas art project like y'all did. Thanks again for a wonderful vlog.❤

[@brendaamos4523]

PS (I talk too much!) Lanka's VM today was so good, and it was on the perfect day too. Sometimes we think having all the feelings is not a good thing especially when they are seen as more negative. But I'm learning that feeling anxious, mad, sad,etc. is really ok. We're meant to feed our feelings and they come and go. I love that she spoke of breathing because I am really learning about breathwork and breathing through tough times and anxious times.

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

I love the fact that you were jumping in the rain puddles at 58! Live goals! I hope to be like you when I reach that age!❤

[@sherryharding5792]

Morgan thank you and Landon for your presence ❤ Lana thanks for your wise message too. Hugs and ❤ ❄🧚‍♂️🎅

[@snjez2762]

Thanks again for sharing your lovely spirit with us, and hi to the girl in Croatia--my home country.

[@the.ellemars]

Thank you for sharing your ups and downs and keeping it real. I feel as though I’ve hit a bit of a wall this week. Also, I love that Landon has been making such a fun and lighthearted appearance too. Thank you for sharing

[@julesm9081]

Hope you’re ok

[@chrissyjordan8190]

This is the best and coziest part of my day. The holidays always involve so much rushing for me. These videos have been such a lovely way to calm down at the end of the day

[@aprilh5186]

I love the tradition of the Santa Scavenger Hunt! We used to have a house in my town that filled their yard with inflatable Christmas decorations. Every square inch of the yard was covered including a Santa nearly taller than their 2 story house! It was so fun to just slowly walk around and look at each character and scene he created. I am enjoying your Vlogmas so very much!

[@nadineam85]

Love the voice message❤❤❤❤holidays can be tough and magical at the same time ...

[@victoriah.2083]

Tubi & YT have Xmas Hallmarkie Rom-Coms. 🎄 You might have to deal w Ads. "Letter to Santa", was quite good! 4⭐️

[@jimcooper5447]

I just had to pause the video during "tea time", and go look for that Stash "Christmas Eve" one - and I found they offer a sampler pack of six different teas! Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, Christmas In Paris, Holiday Chai, Cranberry Pomegranate, and Cinnamon Vanilla! Ordered and on it's way - so excited! 🙂

[@The_real_Noctambulis]

Hello! I am not someone who leaves comments usually... but i have to say that your vlogmas are really warming my heart. And to thank you. (Im late for watching your vlogmas but i will watch all of them ❤) You seem to be such a good person and you both are so cute! I was feeling quite bad, and watching your videos juste made me feel better, accepting that it's OK, and that i am not the only one feeling like that. Thank you so much for your kindness, for the way you are, and for the love you share with your videos. I hope my english is understandable as i am french ^^ i did my best ^^ Wish you both the best for life ❤

[@emmihaimerl7988]

A wonderful video and a good reminder from Lana and you, Mo, to take a moment to breathe and chill. I agree that you have the best eye for the tranquility of rain and creating a mindful atmosphere in your videos. RoO is the BEST!! He can do so many different tricks!😱 happy you found the Santas! I hope you feel a little less anxious today and that you get enough time to rest. I enjoy vlogmas sooo much but it's even more important that you take the time to enjoy it too and that you don't burn yourself out! A video idea for 2024 - a rainy day read with me?👉👈😊

[@Lucia-pd6fi]

Morgan, each time I see your videos I get the sense that your job is not just to make videos, is to be a light in the world. Just like Landon so much kindness and love radiates from your two. Thank you for the daily videos, at the moment, they are the highlight of my day.

[@ginaferracini9375]

Hi love your bedding beautiful its nice just to stay home and relax aww Roo yay he found it wow his amazing ! I have ginger tea at night ☕. 😊🤍🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄🎄🌟.last phone call she said its ok to cry ..so true ❤.

[@shelleyimmel8067]

I have a little plastic Santa that looks like those Santa's which I put out on my patio surrounded by silk poinsettias and lit with lights from inside the Santa. I remember last year when you sent in search of those Santa s as well. Very sweet tradition🎄🎄🌲🌲

[@sommermaxwell]

Roo was really helpful in putting the puzzle together 😂 That Santa hunt is awesome as was Landon’s comment that “you need to know someone who knows things like Mo”!!

[@DreamerIsabella]

I also suffer from anxiety and sometimes I have social anxiety, it did my heart good to hear you talk about it and see how you have accepted it and learned to give yourself what you need, in this case a cozy day at home. Thanks for sharing, it really helped me 🩷 And I loved this relaxing, homey vlog! 🥰

[@lilsheba1]

There is supposed to be an option to add someone to the netflix account, it just costs a bit more.

[@julesm9081]

You deserve to feel joy too Mo and I’m so grateful you share your videos. 💖💜💖 we love you! 💖💖💖xxx

[@charoulachr]

That was amazing advice! Taking the time to breathe peacefully can reveal our emotions… a great fit for Christmas time!🤍🕊️

[@KateGoesExploring]

That game of hide and seek was so cute 😂❤ Glad you gave yourself a slow day. Take care! 🕊️🎄

[@nikkimills9065]

I am absolutely loving your vlogmas videos its like a video call from a friend I've been excited about them when I get home from work, RoO is just so smart and adorable. Also I truly appreciate you putting in other people's voicemail it's such a good comforting feeling knowing people all over have such kind words for one another in this community ❤️ Thank you for sharing and caring.

[@vanessaaguilar-griffith1349]

Hooray this is my favorite month ever🎉 I love Morgan cottage core cosy content💖💖💖🤗🌈☃️

[@hazelgator6548]

Man, If my entire being didn't abhor speaking on voicemail I would maaaaybe think about leaving a message. However. I just. I can't. 😅 Haha! So I'll continue to post my pleasure in your vlogmas post via KZbin comments. :) My advice that has really changed my outlook when I'm having a rough time (specifically when sleep deprived when the toddler won't sleep) is I imagine that I was given the gift to come back at this specific moment in time and appreciate the life and the people I love one final time. As if I'm a 90 year old that was given a chance to come back... and therefore I /savor/ what will someday only be a memory. ❤

[@hazelgator6548]

P.s. ... I watched this in bed! 😂

[@JessieWelch760]

I always love the music you choose for your videos😍 These vlogmas are making this season a little less lonely!

[@Souldrifter2015]

The Roku channel has a ton of channels just playing Christmas movies, including a channel of just Hallmark ones, and it's free.

[@Nicole-secret-gardener]

Loved seeing you play with Roo 🥰 My sweatshirt has arrived and it's beautiful and cosy, thank you Morgan 😊❤️

[@littleredreadingfox4772]

Morgan, I don't know if you are aware, but there are many, many Hallmark movies on KZbin for free! 😊 Lots of love from Quebec, 🇨🇦 ❤

[@julesm9081]

Bless you Morgan, we love your videos. Sooooo much! X

[@crystallopez8362]

Morgan, you must try Christmas in Paris tea. It is chocolate, mint and lavender. It's by Stash just like the Christmas Eve tea.

[@tamelinbrown6114]

Fun, fun, fun! I have to admit I’m more than a little jealous of your sweater collection. 😉 I love it! And I really enjoyed the Santa Scavenger Hunt. 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻 I remember you doing that last year, but had forgotten about it. Such a great idea! 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻 Happy Holidays & Ho Ho Ho!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Carolinesbookworld]

I love chill home vlogs like these!! I honestly think people's home vlogs are even cozier!!!

[@cosyrisol]

Love your vlogmases so much They make so magical vibe for the rest of the day Thank you for what you are doing) Its so warming and beautiful Sending love and hugs from Russia 🤎

[@janmccann9471]

This was such a heartwarming vlog! Thank you from a very rainy England x

[@angeladianne4654]

Thank you for sharing. I was having a tough night, and you sharing that you were feeling anxious made me feel less alone. I really appreciate you, your videos, and the holiday cheer. Thank you. ❤❤

[@Katbee7944]

Morgan! If you are looking for a sweet not too cheesy hallmark movie, try Northern Lights of Christmas. It’s charming and heartwarming. Thank you for vlogmas, I am loving it ❤🌲

[@SeasonalLivingwithLeo]

Morgan, your videos lift my heart and make me give me hope. My goal is to make my videos as heartwarming as yours. Feel better soon and big virtual hugs❤❤❤❤

[@Marmeladka38]

The raindrops on the leaves are very beautiful ❤️ And autumnal:) I have one small pillow the same colours as yours, but it's with a fence, a branch of currant and a snowbird:) Thank you! Lana, thanks for your message ❤️

[@Peteljka]

I always end up in tears after every single of these Vlogmas videos, Morgan. Nostalgic, happy, heart-warming tears. :) And today was especially lovely to hear a message from my fellow Croatian girl.

[@joleneharwood8493]

Hey Morgan, have you thought about renting dvds from your local library. Mine still does dvds and most laptops have dvd player in built xx

[@funkmasterchung1]

I love the puzzle advent! Such a fun and creative way to complete a puzzle without feeling overwhelmed by just like a giant 1000 piece one all at once. Now I just need to find a way to cover the in progress because I have 3 very mischievous cats who would certainly treat it as a toy. Loving vlogmas! 😊

[@michelled.3849]

Im intrigued by the cozy winter teas except when licorice is one of the ingredients. The licorice ruins it for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@suzanneporter41]

I love a good cheesy hallmark Christmas film, I watch 'haul out the holly' last night, funny and cheesy look out for that one. I have started my first ever puzzle as an adult, I'm Not going lie I'm already frustrated with it but then again maybe I shouldn't have chosen a 1000 piece puzzle to start with 😂

[@tracybrock8415]

Morgan, you are such a sweet soul, the world needs more kind-hearted people like you. Lately, I’ve been feeling guide anxious and down at times and your videos are like a balm for the soul. Merry Christmas to you, Landon and Roo xx

[@ireneschoonwinkel]

Hi Mo, I just love how you guys play hind-and-seek with Roo! I can never get enough of it. It's amazing how well he looks for things and listens! I've said it so many times, but I'm going to say it again...I hope that I'll also be able to play hind-and-seek with my dog when I get one someday. However, it might not be for a long while...I would like to have a big dog and our little town apartment doesn't have enough space to make that a reality at the moment😅. I enjoyed being a bit laidback with you this morning...I was also a bit tire when I woke up, and it was so cosy watching your video. Ps. You are so clever figuring out where the santas were! Super cool scavenger hunt!

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I remember you both finding the Santa’s last year 😊

[@choupy242408]

Thanks for this video Morgan. I'm leaving in France and it's such a pleasure and good time to see your VLOG. You don' t need to do extraordinary things because share these moments with you as tea or puzzles or anything else like that its perfect specially for this period. And yes mr. Roo is amazing !

[@AmyBailey-jn7nb]

I am in awe by the way that Roo can play hide and seek. That is incredible! My favorite tea of all time is also a peppermint tea. It's from David's Tea and is called candycane crunch. Its so delicious! Enjoying these daily vlogs so much Mogan and Landen.

[@lorihicke5253]

The restaurant looked amazing. Which one was it? Thanks!

[@judytombaugh2990]

Loved watching your excitement over the Santa scavenger hunt !!!!

[@julie8727]

Morgan your comment on Netflix is sooo funny , I literally had the same conversation with my partner a few days ago because being an expat and having a family plan don’t work either! 😂 Modern problems! Love your video as always, very grateful for this highlight every single day ❤

[@lovelifementoring5399]

You both deserve to feel all the joy possible because you bring so much joy. Thank you ❤ It certainly is ok to cry and so good for your soul. Sending you all love ❤

[@BookBFF]

I’ve been having a rough week so I decided to catch up on your vlogmas videos this morning instead of doom scrolling and I instantly feel better. Thank you for your videos and all that you do 💜.

[@ShanaSephora]

Nice videos and thank you for them, but I've never understood why some people always make christmas with a mythical being like santa clauses, christmas (like the whole gifts/milk and cookies), I understand the religious people because of the 3 wise men and when our Saviour was born. But to me I would never celebrate a random day with no meaning, because I don't get the whole celebration of the mythical beings like elf, reindeer and santa, if you could explain to me what are you actually celebrating, as to me it makes not logic sense, especially if you are agnostic or an atheist. And if you are going to say Joy, love, peace, kindness,etc... that should all year round, no?

[@elliehamilton8285]

I definitely agree with it being nice to know ways to improve your happiness, small things really do help ✨We have more control than we thinkk and if you can physically do something, it's amazing to do so✨ Anything that a person can do to feel better within reason should be encouraged ✨ Roo hide and seek was a joy to watch! Sending love Mo xx rest xx

[@traceykyffin1519]

I have to say you, Landon and Roo are our favourite KZbinrs, this time each day is a special time where hot drinks have been made and cosy blankets have been pulled over us…. thank you both for making each vlog you do so special 🥰🥰🥰

[@katiechristman3215]

I was actually having a really hard mental health day today and this was the next vlogmas video I happened to be on. Thank you for being so genuine, Morgan. It was such a comfort to watch your video. I could relate to the struggles you were having and I appreciate you sharing real life. And the last bit with the santa scavenger hunt was just such a delight! And Roo finding his toy! Oh be still my heart! It made me smile so much. Thank you for creating these videos. I decided to leave a voicemail after watching this one and I hope I didn't sound too dumb, I'm always so self-conscious of speaking. But just wanted to share a little and I thank you for creating a place to do that. Take care! Looking forward to catching up on the rest of your vlogmas videos

[@leahroesch1671]

Thank you Morgan for always putting these videos out to us 🥰 I find they touch my heart and bring me comfort. Hope you Landon and Roo are having a wonderful day!

[@Tabg-sz4hp]

I love these warm casual cozy vlogs Mo! Thank you for sharing :)

[@christinathompson6312]

I love how the house in your animation is pink. I have always dreamed of living in a pink house that I can decorate like a candy gingerbread house at Christmas time. Maybe one day I will.

[@hannacherrabi1772]

Am late to the game but wow Roo is awesome and you guys are amazing to teach him this game. The suspense, the joy 😂 loving Ur daily vlogs. Am catching up

[@victoria9663]

I see Come As You Are on your bedside table, and I remember you showing it in a summer vlog. I just finished that book last week and oh my goodness...it was life changing for me!! I hope you find it so for you as well.

[@andraste6746]

I bought Christmas bedding for the first time this year too. It makes me so happy. I love the rain so I’m envious.

[@sjthorn]

Netflix did the same to me, as I was on my brother's account lol. I have found, though, that I can still watch it on my computer, just not on the TV. The Santa scavenger hunt sounds like so much fun. Respect and a salute to the guy who does that.

[@evangeline3152]

Another sweet cozy video! Thank you so much.

[@liemdrake]

By watching your vlog that I was cuddling up with a blanket and a couple Christmas pillows with krampus on them and had some hot chocolate with some pumpkin spice cream and had a sugar cookie scented candle light and blessings to you.

[@adriennsasvari4805]

The Holiday is my go-to holiday and comfort movie too! ☺️ It might not have been the day you planned, but it’s ok to rest and it’s ok to change plans. I loved the vlog as it was. ✨

[@lucykoenig6683]

watching your videos feels like hanging out with an older sister

[@jenniferdufresnedesigns]

Thank you so much for doing Vlogmas Morgan! The peaceful days are just as enjoyable as the busy ones! It can be so tempting to try and cram in as much as possible this time of year. You set such a beautiful example of taking the time to slow down and care for yourself along the way! ❤

[@ariannelg]

You were rewarded at the end of the day for respecting how you were feeling but also for putting yourself out there 🎅🏻 Xmas magic ✨

[@marisaikert3011]

What funny timing, I just taught my dog to play hide and seek this week (she's still a puppy). She came running when she heard Roo's toy! She's not nearly as good at unearthing hidden toys as Roo, though!

[@Maria_reads]

Your videos are always so lovely Morgan 🩷 and thank you so much for doing vlogmas this year 🩷

[@liz19586]

I love these videos, thank you for putting in the time and effort 💖. As you have often said, you don't have to do extraordinary things to have an extraordinary life. These vlogs have inspired me to be more intentional with my days and make the most out of them, even if it is just a cozy/lazy day in PJs.

[@aubreylevesque912]

It’s not Christmas until Morgan finds the Santas ✨😍

[@amberkoski6744]

I was literally knitting a Christmas hat while watching so I was ecstatic to see you learned to knit! I also recently got kicked off my mother in law’s Netflix and it’s so frustrating!

[@angelaw7619]

We have a family plan on Netflix, but we don't live in the same household. We get around it by staying logged in on our phone and casting it to the TV. I hope that helps!

[@juliafonseca2131]

I know it rains a lot in Portland. But it is so hot where I live, and it rarely rains this time of the year that looking at the wet gray clips in the video makes me so happy! I'm sorry you're feeling down, but it's natural, and you made a wonderful video. It is always nice to see people's more "normal" days, and it turned out wonderful ❤

[@ISabrinaISC]

Aw my dog plays hide and seek as well!!- but she plays with us, trying to find us haha It's so fun😍

[@reishisoul4922]

Watching your videos I feel like I’ve found my tribe 😋😅 I have the chill vibes and sleigh rides t-shirt and the vegan insta pot book and relate so much to all of these videos.

[@charitytees]

if you're craving cheesy chrismas videos - tubi and pluto are both free and have an abundance of cheesy holiday features as well as some old classics and great television home & cooking programs from around the world

[@fittoseejane]

This was so fun. I know sometimes we don’t feel like doing stuff but you just got so happy once you were solving the scavenger hunt. If you are like me you put high expectations on yourself to do a lot so you feel anxiety when your body is just asking for down time. You feel like you should be doing something but a slow morning is just what you need sometimes.

[@ISpyWithMyLittleEye]

Oh my gosh Morgan, you are so smart! I would never have figured out that scavenger hunt 🎅

[@michelled.3849]

Your so fortunate your dog doesn’t eat your books, etc! My dog takes and destroys all my stuff!!!

[@amyadams1653]

Morgan I know when the weather stays gloomy for to long I start to feel it. You start to feel tired and sluggish and it’s not a good feeling. It only feels cozy for so long until it doesn’t. But I’m glad you did some fun stuff! The Santa hunt looked fun and it looked so cool! Thank you!

[@bee-2000]

Oh my god Roo is so smart! 🤯 id love more dog content 🥰🐶 helps me live vicariously as I don't have any

[@evajean7568]

my dogs heard roux squeaking his toy and started running around begging me to play hehe :) thank you as ever for sharing your magic!

[@wordsofclover]

Loved the Roo hide and seek, and he knows so many tricks! Such a clever boy.

[@saram5659]

I was shouting 3rd street for minutes! Hahaha (hoping there is a 3rd str in Portland)

[@FunnySpruce]

I love your sweet videos. I recently tried Yogi Throat Tea, It was similar to the tea you made tonight. I could really tell it helped by cough.
