Nothing tops watching glen open his advent gifts and his comical response without saying a thing..priceless

Another beautiful visit with you Sandy. Those lighted arches on your walk are so pretty. Seeing James and his room mate melted my heart too.

Hi Sandra, looking forward to see which nail color you will apply there are so many lovely colors but it is wise to give the nails a little break in between and let them ‘breath’ for a while. I love the Rise and Shine canister that’s in the background when you pick a cup. Thank you for sharing these vlogmas episodes.

Thank you for sharing your Christmas journal. I have notes scattered in various places and I love your idea of having a beautiful journal to capture thoughts and plans. Starting one today 🥰

[@kristinahill3708]

I come from a long line of list makers! My mom always had her meals planned and holiday baking prepped. I just got my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day plans written out and my brain feels lighter. I'm so happy you're enjoying your knitting lately.

[@susanjoy2311]

Love your Christmas journal. It holds so many memories !! The socks are beautiful and the sweater cast on is a gorgeous design and can’t wait to see it finished. Glad you shared James opening his Advent. Thanks so much!❤❤

[@carolcurtis2220]

Loved this blog as usual. I also love your Christmas journal. Your handwriting is beautiful. Having grown up in the UK (now living in Melbourne, Australia) we often had American/Canadian students who's hand writing was always identical. Enjoy your cooking etc. Looking forward to your next Vlog.❤❤

[@karenlowes7802]

Yes, we in Canadian schools took cursive handwriting and now, I'm pretty sure it's a thing of the past.

Thanks for inspiring me to clean up a bit more. I’m like you … unable to knit in an untidy house! lol. Dinner looks yuhmmy.

I loved seeing that santa card tucked into your Christmas notebook, Sandy. ❤ I'm so glad to see you slowing your vlogmas down and combining some days!

Hi, Sandy. Your posts are helping me get my mojo back. I may even finish my Christmas socks before Christmas!! Oh, and thank you so much for the Nathan Antony book recommendation. I've been trying to use the slow cooker a bit more, so this is perfect. Arriving tonight!

Love your Rise & Shine mug!

[@barbsmiley]

Hello from Alberta Sandy. I can't watch when you show the progress of your sock as my Cozy Knitter Advent sock is stuck in a Calgary Canada Post warehouse. Oh well. I am curious what you are planning for your Camino advents and what projects you have used your past year advents for.

[@catherinecunningham7126]

Thank you Sandy, your vlogs get me into the Christmas Spirit! 🌻🎄

[@pollydolly9723]

Nice Vlogmas! They never make the power cord long enough on crock pots, do they? Dinner looked lovely Sandy. ❤

[@sandrastefanek695]

Thank you for showing your book! I’m going to try to fill one out too! Even afterr Christmas! I’m waiting for Dx of MS . I seem to have memory issues. At least I think I do!

[@susanmorris3822]

Thank you Sandy for another wonderful video! Seeing James open his advent was nice, where does the time go? Take care, see you soon🙋

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

A very nice vlog! Merry Christmas 🎄

Ohh I’d love to hear if you find out if your mom kept her Christmas journals! I finally started one myself and you are THE inspiration for it. Vlogmas joy year after year! Your sweater!!!! ❤❤❤

[@SilverDragon196]

Hi Sandy, lovely episode and lovely knits ❤. Thank you so much. BTW, what happened with your shawl number 10 by Lori Versaci? Did you frog it?

[@bythelakeside]

@@SilverDragon196 I did not frog it… I still love it but am taking a break. It’s in a big basket in my bedroom.

[@marianeill9360]

Thanks…. Just what my heart needed….

[@carolinestreeter975]

I know you are a reader Sandy have you read the housemaid series by Freida McFadden? So good!

[@bythelakeside]

@@carolinestreeter975 I haven’t read any of her books! 📚

[@margaretnorth7103]

When your son James and his roommate were opening their advents I couldn’t help noticing the screen showing the Manchester United badge. Is James a fan or is that his roommate? My husband and I come from Manchester and we as a family are all Man Utd fans. I’m enjoying your Vlogmas videos very much here in Preston, Lancashire, England.

[@bythelakeside]

@@margaretnorth7103 James is a big fan of ManU and has been for years. He was upset his recent exam coincided with a game this past weekend. That was James’ desk.
