a slow but productive morning in my life *also I finally put up our tree* VLOGMAS 2024

[@madisonrasmussen9323]

The filter of you ordering at the drive through was REAL nostalgic

[@psychxmania]

IKR??

[@878lulu]

Yes and the music decorating the tree!!!!

[@taviemae]

seriously though!!!

[@Mrsjlrogers]

Oh the nostalgia of Dunkin for Vlogmas ! Thank you for still doing vlogmas for us. It’s definitely a comfort for many of us 🫶

[@LeaRe3d]

The edit at 2:29 took me out during that entire interaction lmaoooo bless you & your social anxiety, I feel you girl!!!!!

[@lindsayvilla1685]

i was a vlogmas 2019 girly - it’s so special to see you now :) watching with a cup of tea and getting motivated to *actually* get some work done when the midwestern winter weather is really pushing for me to just curl up in bed 🫶 love from MI

[@222_Rachelle]

i also love watching her old vlogmas videos!'

[@Skywalker-rc3mp]

I can tell you’re so tired and exhausted, but I just wanna tell you that you’re doing amazing Samantha!! Thank you for taking care of yourself and being my comfort creator. ❤

[@staceyowenswellness]

for the star, zip tie a dowel do the center of the tree that you can put the star on, you can even paint it green to make it blend in if necessary. I've done this and it worked like a charm!

[@222_Rachelle]

a bow at the top would also be so cute !!

[@karliarmstrong5300]

The belly bump is so cuteeee🥹🥹I’m so happy for you! You’re gonna be the best mama ever

[@runsoffsarcasmcoffee8303]

Get a wood dowel and zip tie it to the top of your christmas tree then put the start on the dowel and it will stay put, also I am rooting for you to go back thru the drive thru when they mess up, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! They are actually really cool about that, don't be afraid to try it. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!

[@qkritten]

Or chop sticks would work too

[@Yasmin-dw5pl]

Ummm i am 35 and I have had artificial trees my whole life (Australian so real trees aren’t really common there) and legit every year i have the biggest issue putting on the star. HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THIS! Genius.

[@melissaolenik2408]

This is genius! Our current star is being held on to the tree by rubber bands lol

[@nvs514]

Plant stake would work too, and would blend in.

[@4lizlemon]

That’s a great idea 💡

[@alycooper1932]

Crazy you’re about to be a mama! I don’t know you, but your videos carried me through some really crappy times in my life & it’s heartwarming to see you and your little family growing. 💯😭❤️

[@Minarivera.]

Hitting the curb for me 😂😂😂

[@Hannah-n8w]

"I lIkE mY SuItCaSe" 😭😂love you!

[@hannahblume2000]

what is this from??

[@megwaters25]

@@hannahblume2000it’s a video of Donald Trump and Melania’s son Barron talking in a Slovenian (melanias country) accent when he was little. He pronounces suitcase like sootcase and it’s just funny (it became a meme) Sadly Barron doesn’t talk like that anymore and has an American accent now.

[@Rose274]

This vlog made me so happy. I’m going through a flare up of my chronic illness due to a really big house move it’s been so hard I feel so so unwell right now seeing you and your Mum together made my heart smile thank you for being you I hope you both have such a lovely day sending much love, light and blessings to you all❤

[@mariapaulaloria7970]

Guuuuuurl the straighteners for wet hair had a HOLD on us. The worst part was the frying noise from your hair dying plus the water vapor HAHAHA

[@lauratroxel6072]

My hair would SIZZLE

[@livingdeadghostgirl3322]

Tinsel is pretty but if pets get into it, it can wrap around their intestines and stomach and make them very sick. Im loving vlogmas, and you are absolutely glowing whether you see it or not❤️

[@graceraven3423]

One of my cats inhaled a piece of tinsel and we had to put her down because otherwise her surgery would have been like over 5 grand and we didn't have the money for that😢

[@livingdeadghostgirl3322]

@graceraven3423 Omg that’s horrible I just recently found out about how bad it can be, im so sorry that happened 😓

[@thearcadiist]

Was just gonna say the same thing. Love tinsel but if you have cats it's a no no

[@jinxedone1987]

Came here to say this, thank you!

[@graceraven3423]

@livingdeadghostgirl3322 thank you 😢 her name was Joy, she was a little bitty black cat, she was perfect 😭

[@olatanaka9746]

The way I love the filter when ordering at dunkin 😹😹 every year I look forward to it

[@jenk8385]

for my tree topper I used a wire hanger, and painted it green, then wrapped the green gardeners wire around it too. It helped stabilize it.

[@jewelbehe2224]

I’m rewatching your old videos for like the millionth time lol and the star leaning over is giving the 2019 Christmas tree! Haha love y’all so much, happy vlogmas🎄❤

[@KennedyMorgan-cx5ro]

Checking for days and RUNNING when this is uploaded. Thank you for doing as much as you can for us and knowing when to rest!!

[@meganandrew814]

Mama Kelly looks so different! I hope she is feeling as beautiful outside as she is inside

[@ginah.6243]

So exciting that you'll have a little one next Christmas! I'm so happy for you Sam!

[@BriannaArchbold]

I got one of the cat tunnels that go around the bottom of the Christmas tree off Amazon game changer! The cats have fun and sleep in it and I don’t have a hairy af tree skirt 😂

[@JANEHOTTON]

You are gonna be such a great momma!!! Sending you love during this holiday season gorgeous! Also, don’t forget to prioritize yourself sam, we love you❤️

[@kgulb1329]

The way I smiled when I heard that song you always added to your 2019 Vlogmas videos 🥰

[@simplymonca]

2:50 this kills me every time 😂

[@msprincesss115]

Samantha, tip for tree topper.. to get it to stay straight up, u can gather a few of the top branches together and maybe twist them together if possible..and put the tree topper over the top of all of those. How ever many will fit inside the topper and still look good. Lol. Adding extra branches will make a more firm top point and won't let it bend as much. I've always done that on our trees when they had that problem. Could possibly work for them all or most trees. ..p.s. ur awesome!

[@angel777B]

Omg dunkin boooyyyyy!! Feels like so long ago lol.. watch the tinsel with cats.. my mom's cat ate it and it came the other end not so nicely.. lesson learned!! Beautiful treee!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@somaj5725]

we use the light string to tightly wrap the star against a couple of the top branches. sort of looks like if you were to wrap a light string around a lamp post

[@isabellabrierley9448]

Tinsel I only use Christmas morning to make the tree look sparkly like Santa came, my lil Christmas tradition I just throw it everywhere on the tree. Plus you don't have to deal with the pets or mess of it for a whole month. Just a day or two until you take the tree down.

[@Kris_Si2]

Fold/bunch the top skinny branch down and attach the star the actual metal pole in the middle. Mine does the same thing

[@Pikapichuu]

Omg the lights on your tree are gorgeous! Making me want to buy a new one 😅

[@Pikapichuu]

It's a shame about the star though... but still gorgeous

[@KristenNicole85]

I'm here for the baby bump Samantha jo era

[@emmagrace3368]

If you're ever in Michigan, check out Bronners! Its a huuuge christmas store in Frankenmuth. Theres a station to personalize ornaments, me and my whole family have our own with our names on them. Theres also pet ones as well if you want to do pet names as well! I live in Michigan and we go every year, its a tradition for me and my whole family.

[@kalliebug1577]

I’ve always been told to avoid tinsel if you have kitties or doggos! Happy holidays ❤️

[@DestinyBurr]

Damn you Sam, “ I like my suitcase “ has now been stuck in my head since you said it 😂

[@angelinacalderon9401]

I gotta say, I miss your previous Christmas music! But love that you’re still posting!❤

[@totallyluvinmusic26]

Your hair colour is looking amazing btw!! The reddish brown suits you very well

[@destinyb.holmes9063]

You have inspired me so much!! I am confident with myself because of you. You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs/tiktokers. I pray for a continued healthy and safe pregnancy as well as healthy baby and safe delivery.🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@amandaw9074]

The filter as you order kills me every time😂

[@katiestrawn1412]

for our star 🌟🌟- we bent over a long branch on top in half to make it thicker, then we attached 2 chopsticks/barbecue skewers to that branch to reinforce it, and then we attached the star to that! hope this helps, sam!

[@karenbombard2237]

Tinsel is dangerous for animals. Tree is beautiful.

[@tayynicole021]

Dam the blue looks good on you same!! Glowing and we love to see it :)

[@Heyitzbloo]

2:24 i read the item i want off the menu the night before so I have it memorized and write it down in my notes on my phone to read when I order it

[@emmam5927]

Hey Sam! To secure the star on your tree, grab two pine pieces that are behind the main one you're putting the star on. Cross the two pieces over the base, and intertwine them by twisting them together to secure it. I hope this makes sense! It looks amazing 🥹☁️🫧🩵

[@taylorhughes459]

My mom uses soooo many pipe cleaners at Christmas time to secure decorations!

[@Radley1701]

Had to get a plug in ring camera for the garage just because I was sick of running home to check. I could just check on my phone 😂

[@shelbes1234]

lol I always worry I didn’t shut my garage door! I have started to take a picture once I’ve shut it so I can always double check 😂

[@jamiejerome2013]

To keep the topper up you could tie a fishing line on it then hook the line to the ceiling to keep it up

[@aydrienmaus1719]

tinsel is all in being tedious, we usually give ourselves a couple days to keep putting it on after the ornaments

[@ChicSabrina]

The new house looks so cute from what you've shown so far!❤

[@samik2435]

I can never get a star to stay on top of my tree, I bought a cute bow and thats my tree topper

[@Chichirivichi]

AW, you bring happiness and smiles!

[@BreBreS11]

I’m only a minute in to the video and am laughing out loud 😂 I wish we could be best friends irl because you are so funny and relatable❤

[@barbarajackson5746]

Where is your comforter from? It’s so pretty!

[@nglashay93]

Mama Kelly has lost a lot of weight, she looks amazing!!!❤❤❤ Sam is glowing too❤❤

[@dezim8956]

I need the iconic intro songgggg 🥹🥹

[@altheagdontakis-pos9105]

Ahhh first! I absolutely love your vlogmas videos can’t wait 😊

[@christinak8479]

Love the videos! One quick thing is for the tinsel on the tree it always looks so pretty but be careful with pets because cats and dogs will sometimes chew on it and then eat it and it can cause problems for them. I only say this since it happened to my cat when I was a kid so just keep an eye out for them if you use it! 💕

[@hsepulveda1]

I'm so excited for you! A baby is going to be so exciting to share Christmas with!!!

[@Anon11277]

I can’t stop laughing at the floppy tree star 😂

[@KristineS73]

No tinsel when you have kitties!!! They tend to eat it Sam❤

[@kansasbelk9546]

happy holidays beautiful!! sending lots of love to your family. we love you :)

[@dpostm17923]

Sam drape just a a few strand of tinsel on each tip of the tree limb , not them all just randomly around the tree, it’ll look so pretty, that’s what i did , gorgeous!!

[@rjbryant]

Love your video!!! The tree is beautiful, maybe a strong piece of wire or wooden dowel zip tied to the top/base would support the star on top. Just make the wire hanger/ wooden dowel long enough to support it. I think it’ll work ❤

[@sarapurple111]

Love the new bed sheets!!

[@larissamrichards]

I love those bar stools! Where did you get them from??

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

Love the tree and the lightswhere🎉are they from

[@krista8433]

Loveeeee the tree! So cute! I couldnt tell from video if your space heater was plugged into the extension cord or not but I just found out that that can potentially cause a fire!! (after I did it myself) something about the extension cord not always having high enough current to supple to the space heater and it can overheat and cause a fire!! I dont know how likely it actually is that it will happen but I just learned it!!! Anyways, love you so much!!!!

[@Kennaggrace]

You saying I like my suitcase SENT ME 😂😂😂

[@KAlexandra516]

Move that fireplace 3 more feet AWAY from the tree. Instead of trying to put the star INTO a limb to have it rest- tie it with a red ribbon at the base of the star to the FRONT of the branch- like a bowtie. With the stem behind it bringing the stability.

[@coffeenerdgetshappy]

I basically never go to dunkin, but I have the app downloaded for those few days, because I'd rather say "hi, I made a mobile order" and then tell them my name when they ask. Makes ordering so much easier, because I always feel so silly ordering 😂

[@willowbenjamin]

The bump is ✨bumpin✨ in this video mama ♥️

[@powerpuff4118]

I started watching around the wisconsin dunkin visits. It makes my heart happy because ive been here so long

[@AbbyHaggard-p5g]

I was SO attached to my husband when I was pregnant-especially towards the end!! I swear it’s like an instinctive thing that God wired into us to wanna be near them during the end cause I’m normally not a very clingy person!

[@ambersmith2612]

I’m in my first almost second trimester and I’m mean ash for no reason all the time 😂

[@allykaygunderson9175]

your tree is so beautiful girl!

[@ameliaabrams4839]

Use a bread tie to secure a wooden spoon or dowel to the top branch and hook it up you can watch building and beauty for all Christmas tips like that Kylie is amazing

[@The_Gabagool]

Where is the checkered comforter from on your bed? So cute

[@tiapitachica1]

Girl, when we were teenagers my cousin used to iron my hair with an actual iron…. Before there were straighteners 😂 happy my hair has recovered from the trauma 🫢

[@KristenMisyak]

Your tree is beautiful! Bow toppers are light and really popular right now. I too rehearse my coffee orders. I also replay what I said afterwards in my head😅 Anxiety + ADHD = very awkward encounters 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@cayleechambers4402]

Tape a chopstick to the branch for extra support and cover with the star. 😄🌟

[@KristenNicole85]

Be careful w/ tinsel and the kitties incase they eat it, I know my cats have destroyed all of my decorations this year lol

[@xandersmomsamby]

I bought the air strait because of you and absolutely love it!

[@givethemchel]

Try a bow instead of a star! Target has super cute big ones for like $10!

[@annamaxner2426]

Gorgeous Tree! Love the twinkle lights. Be very careful with Tinsel. It can be very dangerous for cats if they ingest it.

[@jamielee0918]

The tinsel, do like 2 strands per branch✨️

[@yofalyssa]

hitting the curb at the drive through was so real.

[@danielleharty269]

Ziptie a wooden dowel to the trunk of the tree and attach it to that. Also you shouldn't have tinsel if you have cats , they can ingest it and it will mess up their intestines

[@shelby481carter]

Sam you gotta try the cookie butter cold brew at dunkin! No milk!

[@heatherjo1485]

Your tree looks very nice. Please be careful with tree tinsel, it's very bad for cats. I grew up in the generation where we used tinsel but then we found out the hard way it's not safe for the kitties. So please be careful. Dunkin is not it! I don't like Starbucks either. Lol

[@amywilburn6515]

Thank you!!!❤

[@Saranicole133]

I was having Deja vu, and I remembered you also made a tiktok during this 😅

[@ashleysarab]

If your due in February then most definitely your baby will be crawling by next Christmas 😊 my daughter was born this last February and she’s been crawling & getting into everything for the last few months now. Enjoy your afternoon naps while you still can. 🥲

[@ChiChi-ss1gg]

Omg I panicked when I saw you on that ladder 🫣

[@justjeni83]

Hi Sam! Hi mama Kelly! You both look great! The tree is beautiful but be careful with the tinsel. It’s dangerous for cats.

[@AngelaMarie426]

I followed everyone for the giveaway! So glad you just posted again ❤🎉

[@hayleestyers3792]

I’m so early 🤣 love you queen ❤️

[@ARTandMUSIClover7]

I still have that wet and dry hair straightener from the 7th grade I’ve never gotten a new one 😂

[@samnosenchuk3605]

Ahhh another Sam Vlog!!! So excited to watch🩵

[@mallorywomack1367]

Finally I missed you ❤

[@mon5845]

👍 if you wanna bring back the annual “it’s Christmas time” vlogmas intro song Sam would always use idk why but it always hyped me tf up!💕
