You always amaze me with how natural and articulate you are, even when you are just spontaneously chatting. You don’t use ‘word gap fillers’ and you don’t stumble over your word choices. You are such a pleasure to listen to.

[@ukomdesign]

And for a person who is not native American speaker as myself she is really easy to understand.

[@rebeccamaracle2878]

It's such a small thing, but I love the way she pronounces the letter P. It's so satisfying.

[@lifelover1]

Agreed. English is my 3rd language and her voice is so pleasant and easy to listen to 🥰

[@daylarae9473]

went back and watched some of your old vlogs earlier today back when you were house hunting and it made me emotional seeing how far you’ve come within a year! 🥺 thank you for giving us a little glimpse into your life 🤍

[@orethalewis8404]

I love the camaraderie between you and your mother and this thrift shopping thing it reminds me of me and my mother I do miss her so she's been gone for about five years now just being able to watch you two just makes my heart happy and you guys make me laugh all the time thanks for the laughter😜

[@mechellepillay8801]

You and your mamma make me laugh so much. Your relationship is just so special 🌸

[@guitargirl4himify]

I love the Q&A. So many of the questions I wanted to ask were answered today. Thank you so much for your transparency and honesty. You make us feel like we’re all your best friends!

[@daylarae9473]

“i bought it for my mantle but i don’t have a mantle” i’m convinced me & your mom are the same person 😂😂😂

[@RMullerEquestrian222]

Omg I want to be your mom's best friend!!! (and you but I mean come on) she's so cute and funny! "I bought it for my mantle." "Oh." "Oh no, you can have it. I don't have a mantle" KILLED ME ahahahaha. I'm gonna be so sad when vlogmas is over but so grateful for this month and everything you've given us. After watching each video, I just feel happier and more motivated and creative and you've inspired me to start so many things this month so thank you.

[@deepikarathee1853]

I think it will be real sad when Macenna goes back to LA after finishing the cottage

[@caitlinbrown5792]

Yesssss I feel this too!!! X

[@carrlinewhitfield5282]

I love to watch the interaction between you and your mom, so much fun

[@judyshort38]

The DIY I most want to see is you turning that dresser into a sink cabinet!

[@sharonrose818]

I have looked forward to your vlogmas everyday. I have only commented once, the other day, after watching for a year. You are a natural. The way your share, your genuine enthusiasm, humor, and your "You can do it" attitude, and fun with your mom (who is a riot), is all very entertaining. Yes, we'd love to see more each week after vlogmas, but don't want you to burn out or feel like you have to do it. Speaking first hand from taking on a lot: Keep a flexible schedule, and take breaks when you need to! We will still be here! Thank you for taking us along on the journey. Merry Christmas!

[@imaEATkitkat]

I'm so happy mama Cathy went back to get those frames! They are gorgeous!

[@amara560]

I saw them in the original video and thought they were so lovely! Glad she went back for them. They remind me of windows on ships.

[@imaEATkitkat]

@@amara560 I never thought of that but you're right!

[@freddieblack3751]

Your mama cracks me up every single time! You all are too sweet, it's always a joy to watch your videos no matter what is going on, no matter the time of year. Love from New York!

[@carolconnor5153]

Just want to say I think you and Romeo have made the perfect choice by going the bus tour route. My graduation present was a 15 day bus tour through Europe with my parents (back in 1984) and it was fantastic. The things we got to see and hotels we stayed in were amazing, although I do have to say it filled my lifetime quota for continental breakfasts! People role their eyes when you say "bus tour", but considering all the things that are taken care of for you, I say "heck ya, I'm taking a bus tour!" From hotels to some meals to currency exchange to excursions, it is just such a seamless way to go, especially if you have never been to any of the countries before. One of my favorite memories is of a dinner in Italy. Our tour was booked into one half of a very large patio space, with a wedding dinner taking place in the other half. By the end of the evening the Canadians and Americans from the our tour were teaching the Italians the bird dance! So much fun and laughter. I hope you guys have a wonderful time and come back with lots of stories to share with us. Merry Christmas xoxo

[@jvb7179]

Really hope your EU trip will go on! I'm from the Netherlands and we went into a full lockdown yesterday, Everything is closed except essential stores (and I mean everything, from restaurants to regular shops to hairdressers to museums etc). The 'deadline' for this lockdown is halfway januari but last time it got renewed and lasted a couple of months more. Others countries also aren't doing so well because of the new variant. My birthday is tomorrow and the only thing I can so is invite a maximum of 4 people at home and go for a walk in the forest (with no more than 2 people). Not to be gloomy about it but please book things that have a really good cancellation policy, just to be sure. Our government likes to promise things they can't uphold so it's hard to look ahead. On a brighter note, if you have questions about The Netherlands & Amsterdam (and even tips for London or Paris) you could always ask me!

[@waterbitten]

Happy birthday for tomorrow. I hope you have a good birthday regardless.

[@denise94]

I was just thinking the same thing!! Dutchie as well.. This whole lockdown thing is sooooo depressing.....

[@Ashloumaly]

Happy birthday for tomorrow! I have to say I'm from the UK and it's not good here, and this year we were still locked down in the spring from December 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fingers crossed!!!

[@vanessastrobel4703]

I can only agree, Bavaria also has stricter rules than most of Germany...since she's going to munich

[@MockingJay61899]

Happy birthday! And I hope that lockdown isn't too hard again!

[@cynguidry0601]

Your mom and you are so precious together! Brings back wonderful memories.

[@lizrainey2789]

The wholesome KZbin content that we all desperately need! Thank you for working so hard to show us your life ❤️

[@MarleeMayI]

I've truly enjoyed this series so much. We're going through a small renovation in our home around our kids over the next year, and it's been nice to see how things look for you each day compared to what you can get done in a week's time. Your home looks wonderful, and I'm excited to see your vision come to life. It's helped me feel like if I keep going, I'll see results in our home, too.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

And doing a room at a time is helpful when you live in the renovation

[@shannonkieta8496]

I’m going to be SOOOO SAD when vlogmas is over! It’s honestly, It’s the thing I look forward to most everyday!!❤️

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Your Mom is so precious ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, she got you the perfect gift when she gets done painting it. I really enjoyed this Q&A it felt like friends chatting. Thank you for sharing your life with us, I am so blessed to be able to watch you on your channel ❤️❤️❤️. Have a blessed day

[@TheMerchants]

I am just so proud of you! This has been very empowering for me and I know Romeo is a huge support for seeking your passions. P.s. We call our intense conversations “moments of intense fellowship” 😂

[@shereeralph3802]

Dumpster diving can have brilliant results! 😁 When I saw those round frames in the previous vlogmas, I instantly thought "Portholes! For a pirate room." It will be interesting to see what your Mama does with it.

[@gabimthombothi4604]

I love your mom, her sense of humor is out of this world. I laughed when she said the blueberries cost more than the gifts 🤣🤣🤣

[@alicequinn5194]

Having a holiday to look forward to is the best feeling and I’m so excited for you to come to London! However you may be in for a shock at how tiny all our charity shops are. Whenever I watch your videos I’m so jealous of all the giant thrift stores you seem to have 😊 xxx

[@jessicamcelfresh4223]

I absolutely LOVED this video. The content, the questions, the answers and most definitely your honesty and energy. Love everything about your channels! 💕

[@weirdo191625]

i always watch your vlogmas videos RIGHT when i wake up, it’s the best part of my morning🤗

[@kiimmiekim]

Since this year your channels have become two of my favourite ones to watch, you're such a nice and warm person and whatever your doing just makes me happy to watch 😊 have a great rest of the year, you are awesome 💚

[@dawnwallace1283]

Did you take before pics of the cottage? It would be so cool if you had before & after pictures and put them in a scrapbook. Even cooler if you do that with the guest cottages from start to finish and the guests that stay there could look through photo albums to see all of the stages of them being built!

[@johannavega9775]

It looks like a baby changing table. Your mom is adorable. I love seeing her!!!

[@lyndaandrian7204]

Macenna I feel your followers think of you as extended family and glad you are so joyful.

[@angelapopp8563]

The q&a was EVERYTHING! Thank you so much for being so open with us!

[@anastasiarn7781]

I can’t wait for your diys in the new house!

[@cheekyllamacreations]

I literally cannot wait for you to style your rooms! 🥰

[@redorangeyellowgreen]

thanks for keeping it real about the relationship stuff! i think a lot of people (like myself) who struggle to keep up with their mental health hear people say they just wake up happy every day and assume that those people must have no difficulties in their lives. you just proved to us that that isn't the case -- it of course takes work to keep life chugging along in a positive way, even for people with admirably positive outlooks. i love that you're able to do it with a smile on your face :) this is my first vlogmas comment, but i've enjoyed all the days so far. hope you get a well deserved break afterwards :) thanks!

[@mochagrl78]

I've been enjoying Vlogmas! And I'm excited to see all the progress with your house. I adore your mom and your fur baby! Your mom is hysterical! She reminds me of how my mom used to be. Sooo funny! ❤️

[@Gbreal1971]

You’re an absolute joy to watch. Thank you.

[@ashleylee1281]

Thank you for talking about choosing to be happy. I definitely need to have that mindset and try to let go of the negativity holding me back. I want to do things that make me happy this year. Thanks for the uplifting talk Macenna. 🤍

[@carolineh.6824]

So excited for you, I think you're going to love Vienna!

[@lauracastellanos7303]

LOVE your mom!!! You two have the best relationship!

[@Premchik]

Seriously Macenna, I'm looooving your vlogmas videos soooo much!!

[@juliaowens4566]

Less than five minutes in and I saw your posting another video on your other channel and I am so excited for today!!! 😍

[@ruthpena1077]

Oh my goodness, I LOVE watching the interaction with your mom.

[@yvettelopez3481]

I can't wait to stay in the cottages!!! I've love the journey for you ♥️

[@aiangalang8452]

suuuper excited for you next year Macenna! 🤩

[@LaAshleigh7]

I just love your mom! Y’all are hilarious together and crack me up!

[@marleysway]

That mantle convo made me laugh so much. You guys are a JOYYYYY

[@brandyterry1406]

I can’t help but love y’all. Sooo real!

[@MB-oj7yu]

You and your mom are just such a joy to listen to and watch. But I just want to say your hair is so gorgeous right now especially with that black shirt!

[@bynmiller7794]

"Silver Linings!" I love it. I have ALWAYS believed that our demeanor and attitude can truly affect our every day lives. Keeping things in perspective, learning from mistakes, and see the positive in all (well, most) situations is crucial to our well being. We can't always choose the things that happen to us, but we do have a choice in how we respond to them. I love your bright and shiny attitude and your laugh is contagious. Merry Christmas - Happy New Year, and I wish you safe travels.

[@brendahern76]

Yes, vlog more after vlogmas! I don’t even have to watch your videos before I hit the like button. I love your vids. I love your energy and you and your mamas sweet relationship. And I love going thrift shopping with you all❤️

[@janaculbreth007]

I looove all of the gifts that your mom gave you!!!!! Y’all are the cutest!!!!! ❤️

[@rambleon57]

Your momma's gifts to you are so great! That really is such a pretty canvas and with your design skills and her painting skills, it'll be such a special and beautiful piece! And her wise words that you don't have to spend a fortune on gifts is so true! Thrifted and one-of-a-kind are the best!

[@diyhousedreams]

Watching you has become like a night routine for me! I don’t know how I will survive when vlogmas is over 😂 XO from Sweden!

[@sandrakayhayes5776]

You guys are so amazing!!! Loved this one SO much!!! Such gifted and loving mom and daughter team!!! Merry Christmas to you all!!! Always look forward to your videos!!!

[@barbaranance3838]

You all make me laugh so hard that I'm afraid I'll wet my pants.just love the two of you!!!

[@ginasperandio834]

Aww I love relationships like this with your parents 😍. This is me and momma all day. Just giggling.

[@patn408]

LOVE your mom so much! She's adorable.. you two make me laugh and smile every single time.

[@EmilyChaytor]

this is HANDS down my favourite vlogmas series to exist!!!! it is so positive, uplifting, fun and entertaining!!! most other vlogmases tend to always have some burn out episodes or stress of having holiday content - this vlogmas has felt so fun and so natural

[@kendrak6184]

I loved this vlog!! The Q&A at the end was probably my favorite part!! Also.. I’m so jealous/excited about y’all getting to your Europe!! I want to do that one day!

[@cpalmcutie68]

I love when you and your mom are together. It reminds me of my mom and I was. You always make me smile and inspire me to keep going on renovating my small home. Thank you for being a bright light and inspiring so many. I hope one day to meet you in person.

[@kayrabey1344]

I’m happy for you and Romero. Congratulations on your trip to Europe. I know it will be the trip of a lifetime! ❤️

[@lynnniemi3053]

I am amazed by all of your organizational skills with the vlogs and work on the Comfort Cottage! It has been inspiring watching the progress this past year, and I love seeing you and your mom thrifting together! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@suemussatto3543]

Only like minded people would appreciate the dumpster dive present...I'm right there with you...lol. I loved listening to you and mom go back and forth on what you could do with it. Sounds so much like me and my daughter...the ideas just flow. The vlogmas is a Christmas present to us from you and doing it everyday or too often would take away from how special it is. You can tell Kinsley hangs onto your precious lovetalk .....❤❤

[@lulypintor]

I'm glad she went back for those round frames! They're beautiful! 😃

[@aiangalang8452]

you and your mom together always brings us fun! haha making us laugh like we were there chatting with you 😅 and there goes this "you dont have to spend a lot of money to make somebody laugh and happy!" sooo true! just like you making us happy!😊

[@Rachel_Collins]

Thank you so much Macenna for all your hard work - I know it’s your livelihood but honestly - your videos make a HUGE impact! They’ve inspired me to try and become the happiest and best version of myself, you’ve helped me find styles and designs that I like - both in fashion and interiors, and you’ve given me courage to redecorate, renovate and diy my rental and then my old bedroom when I had to move back home. I’m always so happy watching your videos, it’s like chatting with a best friend. Blessed to have ever stumbled across your channel! I’m just a subscriber/fan but I genuinely care about you, Romeo and your sweetheart family ❤️

[@romina170]

I'm sooo freaking excited you mentioned that you and Romeo will be going to Europe in March next year (since it has been my dream too to travel in Europe 😩) I definitely already can't wait for the vlogs! I'm so excited for you! ❤

[@samanthabolger3146]

Honestly you have my two favourite channels. Following you on this journey I feel like I have learnt so much from you. It has been an awful year with my health and then started to watch your videos earlier this year. Gave me the strength to make a move to where I want I truly wanted to live. I am brave to try DIY projects and getting back into my creative side. Love your mum too she brings so much joy as well to your videos! You have done amazing work on the house! I will be going thrift shopping in the new year for pieces I can DIY and make into something else. We have very similar styles in some ways. Have a lovely break 😊 Lots of love from the UK. Xoxo

[@scottflentje2390]

I really enjoy your videos and I cannot wait to see the finished house once its completely done...I bet it will be beautiful once you get it all decorated.

[@AnneRas11]

Great questions! All good answers too. Watching Your baby Kinsley stare at you as you speak is precious. I know there are probably many of us watching that are taking on home projects and amazed at what you have done. I love your enthusiasm. I so enjoy your mom and the energy you share.

[@jessicashaw72]

During vlogmas the biggest thing I learned is how quick your turnaround is on your main channel. I think that’s so amazing because I assumed it was so much longer with the amazing content we get. Thanks so much for all the future inspo for my house! You are such an inspiration with all the projects you take on your self and I can’t thank you enough!

[@sharellfreeman2380]

You and your mother are such a joy! I laugh every time I watch your videos. I love your spirit it's so infectious.

[@micha3ladj]

My favourite part of my morning is watching your channel. Thank you so much for the effort and thought you've put into vlogmas. I love it so much!

[@aracelismedina-rodriguez6452]

I love💛the relationship you and your mother have. It’s so much fun watching you both laughing and having so much in common. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Sending much love.

[@ltwinkiec3172]

Enjoyed getting to hear more about your dreams, looking forward seeing and hearing to more 🎄

[@Andrea_Kelly]

I love a good Q&A! I think Kinsley was more interested in playing though! 😂 She is so cute! I've been loving your vlogmas and I'm so glad that you want to do it again next year. Knowing I get to come home after work and watch your videos everyday is the best!

[@cheriwhitley8385]

I smile soo big when I see u and your mom in a video!!!u guys r the cutest together.,..I can’t thank u enough for vlogmas and all your dedication and hard work..tell Romeo we love him also and thank him for being understanding..but don’t let either of u put a job before each other.they both need work constantly and u have to give and take but ALWAYS make each other #1..safe travels with all the places u are going for the holiday..stay safe..and have a very blessed Cmas..🎄❤🙏❤

[@siataylor4353]

I love it, y’all ladies are too funny. I always look forwards to your next video. 💕

[@darlaburnett8666]

I love your mom! The relationship between you two is too cute❤️❤️

[@chantalgroenewoud1788]

I am going trough a break up right now. You and your videos are so inspiring and they really keep my head up trough these sad times. They make me so happy and I love to watch your videos. I really want to say thank you for all this! Also we are going trough a lockdown again here in the Netherlands. So these times are rough and dark. You just bring so much light to those days. Thank you MaCenna and keep on doing what you are doing best, and thank you for being such an amazing human being ❤❤

[@nickythomastravel717]

I've loved vlogmas, I always watch your vlogs the morning after you post over breakfast :) I'll miss this start to my day! hahaha. I also love that you inspire me to tackle projects myself, I recovered a chair and I bought a sander and now I look forward to going to the building store now. I'm like telling my partner "oh, we should definitely buy a ladder, oh, we can do this ourselves... etc". I just wanted to let you know that you've really pushed me to try to do things myself! If you are in Paris, you MUST visit the flea markets!

[@emilyv.1467]

I’m early for onceee, Christmas is almost here mannn I’m gonna miss these daily uploads 😭❤️

[@kristinannnnxo]

the grass is always greener where you water it 💜 I can relate to you in the "happy" department! I get asked that question a lot and your answer is super similar to mine. I love being happy! Anyway, I hope you have the best Monday!! You are a rockstar for doing the vlogmas on top of everything you do!!

[@annmarie443]

Thank you for your honesty about your relationship. As a mom of 3 young adults I appreciate your example of how relationships can really work for both partners. Its not easy, but it is rewarding. My kids all work on their relationships and have been taught (by me and others) that we learn through our relationships. xoxo

[@arielemeree8456]

Kinsley is such a little bear! She's literally so precious 😍 I'm super excited for your trip in March!

[@alexeiabyram]

Yay! It’s here! Love watching your vlogs! ❤️

Yes yes yes! vlogmas daily content... I LOVE IT! I really enjoy watching ALL your videos. Oh I got the tortilla blanket as a gift. I love it! Lol

[@linila1]

You are going to get so much design inspiration from Europe! Cannot wait to see how you incorporate it into the house!

[@mroxanne8367]

Love love love your channel and have enjoyed your vlogmas. You are so inspiring and your mom is a jewel! Y’all are so funny. I hope you continue to do something similar to vlogmas after Christmas. ♥️♥️♥️

[@MegaDael]

Macenna!! We would be so happy to show you around Amsterdam when you come! Excited for you guys to finally be able to travel to our lovely city!

[@annikajosephine282]

OMG im so exited for you to go to europe and visit all those amazing cities☺️ I'm from munich and the fact that my all time favourite youtuber is in my hometown is just everything😍❤ wish you all the best and happy holidays with your family 🌟

[@anitatucker8812]

I always love the close outs you do with Kinsley. 💕

[@ladyt2587]

Macenna you and your mom are so fun and cute I just love how you two get along. What a blessing.

[@nnmak407]

Hi MaCenna, i really enjoy watching your videos but most of all i just looove watching the relationship you have with you mother. My mom passed away back in August 2018 and we used to have the exact same relationship; tons of laughters and shopping for home decor together. It gives me much joy just by your videos. Cant wait to see the final look of the cottage! Love, Shila from Malaysia

[@pattymelton2680]

You are 100% adorable! I’ve done 4 houses and you were born to do this!

[@amybennett1530]

So happy for you guys. This is such an inspirational channel. Love your energy and the excitement you always share with your viewers. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄

[@nasevedodge2551]

Macanna - you glow knowing you are at your life you loving what you do and it certainly come across - I also believe in waking up happy and look at the bright side of any situation and make the best of my day no matter what gets tossed at you know you can learn from it and move on ! When you are blessed with beautiful family and friends you know it going to be a good day ! Just love seeing you and your mom - its so darn special 💕

[@lauralee2248]

Your mom is hilarious, she does the cutest funniest things, I can see where you get your cutesy side from 💖 are you going to be building a garage for the cottage ?
