[@tamaramason9424]

Thank you Romeo for joining us today we loved having you. ❤

[@maryo3446]

This is so random but I would loveeee if Romeo showed us his laundry routine for reviving thrifted clothes!!

[@amapinup]

Yes. I've commented this before too. Share the secrets please. Lol

[@HAppytobeHer]

I’ve been curious about this too! What are his tricks lol

[@nesamary]

me too

[@nancyramirez6795]

Same!

[@chewy000079]

There is no secret here. Just wash them according to their labels.

[@Chipster724]

Seeing you and Romeo interacting together so sweetly just makes me smile 😊

[@MrStew1955]

Dear MaCenna; My wife has watched you for many many months...now I watch with her. You are so sweet and talented, it's like you could be one of our children (we are in our older 60's). We watched you Candle episode (XOMaCenna xmas vlog day 2) so I surprised her and looked at it again this morning and ordered her ELLORI candle !!! She will be so suprised and thrilled. We wish you and Romeo continued success....you both deserve it (and your Mom is great !!). Sincerely, Stew from Redding

[@nalenkasims]

You know what I love about Romeo? He talks, he gives complete thoughts and answers. If I were to ask my X what he thought about anything, he would say, “Whatever you think.” That was never any help. Or he would give one word answers, “No.” “Yes.” So I am fascinated that Romeo actually adds a key ingredient to your relationship: communication. I hope you understand what this almost 80 senior is trying to say.💕💕 I enjoy your videos.

[@daniellelyon5294]

The bar is so low for men lol

[@jamiehudson4894]

Agreed. They actually have conversations. That’s what I loved about watching them shopping yesterday

[@mschenandlerbong8539]

@@daniellelyon5294Naming one quality isn't setting a bar. Not a lot of straight guys are super interested in decor. That's really, really ok.

[@alicegauteng2358]

No wonder he is your X. You are better off❤

[@shanimarais9695]

At least you got a "whatever you think", I barely got a grunt 😂😂😂 I can totally relate to what you said, it's not just about "decor" as someone who responded to your comment assumed. It's in everything they do together. You are so right about communication, it's KEY.

[@angeleigh3268]

Love seeing Romeo again in your vlog!

[@xomacennavlogs]

me tooooo! he doesn't always like be on camera but glad he loves to when we do Vlogmas :)

[@kaitlincrane_]

I love how Romeo has been more comfortable in front of the camera! 😊

[@kimwynnobel1830]

One word “Romeo”. Love all your vlogs but when Romeo is present… it’s like we all get a present! 😄🥰👍🏼

[@cmichelletutorials]

Vlogmas is so bittersweet for me! Last year I was in the hospital with my 4 year old wondering if this is the last year with him. This year he is thriving, back in school, making new friends. Your vlogmas was the only good thing this time last year, and now I am even more excited to watch ❤️❤️❤️

[@cassierittenhouse7351]

Wonderful news that he is thriving and well! God bless your family! ❤

[@colleendaub1518]

Love that Romeo is always so enthusiastic about everything.....you're a lucky girl

[@debbiegordon7622]

Not Christmas for me until MaCenna does her vlogmas videos best part for me by far...You put so much love in alll you do..❤🧑‍🎄⛸️🛷🎄🦌🌲🌲⛄ Watching this while we are having a snowstorm here in northern Maine

[@xomacennavlogs]

thank you so so much! that means the world to me! Stay warm!

[@triciaharvey9936]

Well, I'm sure I can speak for most of us here that we love hanging out with you guys too. ❤ can't wait to see the progress in the bedroom and what color you're thinking about.

[@gailcoon7582]

I love watching the two of you. You would think you were in your first year of your relationship. You are so respectful of each other and can see the true love for each other. Merry Christmas.

[@Pkeats817]

Because they are both lovely.

[@ItsMe-xm5sz]

Good to see Romeo more often in your videos. Thanks for the vlogmas. ❤️

[@scarlethenderson6510]

I always heard that if you ate something that was too spicy and it burned your mouth to drink milk it helps soothe your mouth, love seeing Romeo with you in the video ❤

[@kathykov1]

For a non milk drinker, sugar in your tongue works well as well.

[@GraceByTheRiver]

WHOLE Milk! It's the fat that cuts the heat!

[@amygo7374]

I just would be nervous about doing milk with tomatoes because of their acidity. That can curdle in your stomach.

[@m.thompson3919]

Don't worry. It doesn't curdle in your stomach. Stomach acid dissolves food way before it has time to curdle. Food theory did a great episode on spicy food hacks, and they found out that milkshakes are the best solution. It combines all the spicy food hacks into one drink: The sugar trick, lactose from the milk, and the icy cold temperature on your mouth. I'm sure there's a non-dairy option for milkshakes that would work just as well.

[@thinkingbout]

Eating a piece of bread should also help!

[@flaxandfibrefarmhouse]

It was cute seeing how much fun the two of you were having in the kitchen!

[@samanthastaton2761]

Loving Vlogmas so far and I have to tell you how awesome it is to see you and Romeo doing fun couple stuff together. The dancing was so sweet!! ❤

[@unraticoconwendy]

Loving the new Intro 😍 with Kinsley on it 🐶

[@ksl2634]

Yes! It's the little touches like this that really set her apart. I love her personalized animated Intros!!! 💛

[@mccheesy699]

If you look back at the autumn intro you can see Kinsley in the woods to the left

[@vickinoeske1154]

Only one meal, my mom's spaghetti, garlic bread and a salad. My mom got the sauce recipe from an old Italian lady when she and my dad first moved to Chicago in the 1950's. It is THE best.❤❤❤

[@rochellebelasco4681]

Loved watching how the candles have been created but soooo bummed that each costs $102.00 Cdn with shipping. Just too $ in 🇨🇦

[@mscoffeeplans]

I love seeing you and Romeo more often together on camera. ❤❤❤ You guys made me want chili too 😅

[@kellieroth1710]

You guys are the cutest!!! Dancing in the kitchen!! I early ordered all 3 candles and I can't wait to get them!!! I'm so framing every card and insert from the box!!!❤❤❤

[@Scarlet-qg1xi]

Why are you constantly and suddenly mentioning lowe’s in the last two Volgmas episodes? Hoping for a sponsorship? I feel you remodeled an entire cottage in Texas without plugging the big box store? Seems odd?

[@Reaganclift]

I loved seeing you two together all day! Thanks for doing vlogmas for us all ❤

[@hannahhealy7610]

You walking down the stairs in the morning was soooo dreamy with the gallery wall and the tree!! I enjoy that we get to know you and Romeo more during Vlogmas, yall are too cute. Romeo is so funny, especially day on sticking you in the closet LOL

[@lisanguyen9906]

I'm so happy for Vlogmas!! I can't get enough of watching you ❤ Love how talented and creative you are.

[@marycolmery1508]

I love that Romeo is more active in the vlogs. He is a very handsome young man and quite funny.

[@khud111]

Aw when you mentioned the giveaway at the beginning I was so excited that you were giving a YT giveaway. I’m not on instagram right now. I would so love if you did a YT giveaway for your candles!

[@andreamalik2961]

I know Romeo isn't a fan of being on camera & I know your relationship isn't what your channel is focused on (& I totally respect that) but I have to say I LOVED this vlog. Romeo is a total sweetheart: funny, kind, interested, totally present etc. I loved the tandem dancing , it was cute. Take it from me, a 53 year old divorcee, you got a good one there with him x

[@tammyleviner3070]

I just love you two together, so dang cute🥰 Ready to see the color you choose for the bedroom and for day three😊

[@darawilson4101]

You guys are adorable!!!! Plus you did look very cozy in the upstairs bedroom!

[@TypicalCrazing]

Candle jar question: Is color flashed on or is the glass colored?

[@xomacennavlogs]

the colored vessels are done in a version of color flashing as its done after the clear glass vessel has been made. I would love for the color to be injected which we are looking into but its much more expensive to create

[@estherrouillard7122]

Im so sorry macenna, i love you very much, but all i can see when you wake up and got down the stair is you setting up the camera and going back in bed or up the stair and doing it all over again 😝 and i cringe so much lol

[@denises9426]

MaCenna sitting at her desk hair messy and FLAWLESS skin, “I’m sorry, I woke up like this, this is literally what I look like in the morning.”. Must be rough waking up that gorgeous!! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@charyllwenger1376]

You guys are so cute. Can’t wait for vlogmas day 3.

[@annieb5647]

Romeo is a pro in the kitchen. How he holds a chef’s knife and finger position for holding the item being cut is all that.

[@OFCOURSE20]

Candy cane lane. The worst film ever!!! Ps add chocolate to chilli

[@monster4ever]

Yay, can’t wait to receive 3 candles next week! Thank you for doing vlogmas🥰Oh, hands down Japanese food!

[@micheleparisio6573]

Only Americans put their beds in front of the window. Anyone else ever notice that?

[@lauramitchell6725]

A lot of times there is no other choice,but what difference does it make?

[@diy_it_home3432]

MaCenna, you should try White Chicken Chili! I think you would enjoy it! Love your channel and vlog!!! Waiting for my candles, missed Noel! When my budget allow me to purchase Noel was sold out 😢. Maybe next year! Enjoy the Holidays!!!!

[@magwed4120]

I haven't seen this much of Romeo since... well since never😂 I feel like this is the Christmas special😂❤ if he keeps coming out remember I mentioned that yesterday too so I called it🤣 also if it showed where most people rewind the videos I'm pretty sure it would be the dance part in front of the stove 🤣

[@elizabethronces1377]

I'm enjoying your daily blogs!! I'm so excited for you and your candles. I can't be part of the giveaway since I don't have an Instagram account, but good luck, everyone!!

[@harmonyjoy]

The intro this year is once again fantastic! 🎄

[@sandrastrobel1254]

I do love when Romeo comes on your videos. It’s like when you have your mom on your videos. It adds a little depth, which is fun to watch. I love your interactions with him. You guys make a great couple.

[@charlenelindsay2019]

Dear MaCenna and Romeo, Bravo 👏 You guys have the healthiest relationship. I know it's a ton of work to do Vlogmas, BUT, you are SO APPRECIATED!!! Getting to have this "birds-eye-view" of your life together is so enriching. God bless you both. Hugs💞🎄💞

[@jackiec859]

So nice to see you *and* Romeo! No chili for me tonight. I made vegetable beef and barley soup... it's 38° here in Michigan, so comfort soup is the best.

[@marywest2896]

PLEASE READ THIS.....think about starting a recycle program with your candles. If a buyer returns their empty vessels to your factory they will get a discount. just think....less production cost, in making the vessels, and the environment!!! it's like how we used to do in the 60 and 70s, as kids we would return glass pop bottles and get from a penny to a dime a piece....you could restart this and maybe inspire more companies to follow you....

[@PaigeChilders-c4p]

Just bought both candles! I’ve been following you for years! Love love love all of your content. Can’t wait to smell them. Merry Christmas to you, Romeo, Kinsley and your mom! I love seeing y’all at estate sales and flea markets. I live in East Texas and love primitive decor.

[@lisatheintuitive]

I adore their relationship, they're friends first and it makes for such a lovely dynamic, I love to see how much they respect each other and love to see more of Romeo :)

[@robinanderson768]

Love, love me some MaCenna Vlogmas videos!❤❤❤❤❤

[@PHcute]

Did you originally move to LA to be an actress but didn’t work out?

[@SeaTurtle515]

Thank you for the Candy Cane Lane movie suggestion. I just finished watching it and loved it. Very clever storyline.

[@wingingitsemiretiredlife2981]

The candles are very pretty, but way out of my budget if that's the price for one. :( I initially thought it was for the three.

[@bettymoreno6444]

1 meal: Sliced oven roasted turkey, mashed potatoes,-mayo on 1 slice of bread cranberry sauce on the other. Roasted asparagus on the side and a dish of turkey gravy. That!!! Is my favorite meal of all times. Yum Yum Yum. Simple girl simple food. Love Vogmas. I wish they were a little bit longer, but don’t overdo.

[@christinarobinson7261]

I love vlogmas with Macenna (even though this is the only one i watch)

[@jennifergraham3752]

Well that is a charming and magical intro. Great artwork You and Romeo together makes me smile. I was just going to say my meal choice would be Thai green curry and then you guys said Thai food. Now I have a craving for chili and for Thai food.

[@barbarashelton6709]

Nice to see Romeo today, the chili looks good!

[@judidozier]

Your intros and outros are so beautifully designed, and the music is exceptional. I enjoy all of your content! ❤🌲❤

[@susiewalker1254]

Yay!!! Hope Romeo joins you on all the vlogmas videos. Love watching yall cook, working and just talking to each other.

[@susiewalker1254]

Can’t wait to see the suprise 🥰

[@gardendreamer9117]

I’m so excited. I just ordered the Arlow candle. My hubby is allergic to everything so I need to be careful about candles I buy but the citrus scent should hopefully be okay. I’ll use the vessel as a little flower bud vase once the candles all gone. Btw-those we’re lovely videos about your thought process & the making of your candles. You looked gorgeous in them. 😊The packaging looks so decadent too.

[@ZulemaZavala]

That picture of y'all from 2008 is so cute! 😭

[@CathyI2020]

We watched Candy Cane Lane the other evening also! Hilarious movie! Hope you enjoyed your chilli. We always gravitate to those feel good dinners when it’s cold out.

[@alyssanew6966]

I am so happy that vlogmas is here!! I am so thankful that you and romeo take this much time out of your december to film these for us ❤

[@arlenegibson9158]

I'm really enjoying seeing Romeo in these videos. Sometimes I forget you have a man in your life. Watching you two together is really fun. You are both great people and great together.

[@Beachbum471]

Thai food is so much more interesting than Italian

[@MickeyC321]

Yes, this Vlog was lovely. I felt like I was hanging out with you two in your own home. And yes, communication is sooooo important. I love seeing hoe your mother’s art enhances everything you do. 🥰🙋‍♀️

[@TH-dj3zo]

It's so nice to see Romeo in the vlog. Wish he was on more often. Candy Cane Lane is a nice easy movie to watch. Saw it this past Saturday when I was to lazy to do anything.

[@mlouvier22]

Best part of December BY FAR ❤. We love Vlogmas

[@xomacennavlogs]

awwwww thank youuuuuu

[@shelleypoole6415]

You guys are so cute when you cook together. I’m not a fan of beans either. I do put in chick peas and black beans. Those are the only ones I put in. I add sour cream and lots of cilantro on top… yum ( also use taco chips for scooping)! My meal would be Pad Thai. 😊

[@tinaakino2207]

Tried Ruen Pair in Hollywood Blvd? It is legit Thai food. Bring cash. No credit card. Shrimp Tom Yum in the westside is almost $30. Theirs is $18. So much better, too!

[@runitsbrian]

When is Romeo going to come out with a cooking vlog? 😂 I need to learn how to chop like that 👏

[@seejillmake]

Loved hanging out with you guys in this vlogmas, excited to see the bedroom ideas take shape!!

[@tracyball5041]

Love love love the new. Intro, it didn’t disappoint as usual x great to see Romeo and also I love that reindeer by your tree ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

[@ardishafdahl8296]

I have been waiting for Day 2 of Vlogmas! This is MUST long with all the usual Christmas movies this month! Thank you!!

[@donnawisner1481]

Got me in the mood for some chili. Actually have the groceries for it. You read my mind. Looks yummy

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

The Chili looked good but I need my beans! Toot-Toot for now!

[@whatlolawants2167]

I love hanging out with Romeo! Vlogmas is going to be so much fun this year❤❤❤!!!!

[@smooch862]

Please consider doing one of the giveaways here on KZbin for all of us who don't do insta🙏🏼

[@mariacavalotto854]

Stuffed cabbage…and I’m Italian!!!!

[@Beachbum471]

Grey has been overdone by millennials 😂

[@annaquigley6738]

Well… we LOVE YOU!! You make us soo happy with everything you do❤️✨🎄Love peace and hugs always ✌️☮️😘

[@boonhaven]

Love seeing you and Romeo's interaction ❤️

[@denises9426]

Loved the birds in the intro. And the music. And the interactions between you and your amour. You’re so lucky to have each other. Loving your Vlogmas MaCenna!! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

FYI bergomot fruits are yellow-green and bumpy.

[@patriciareeps3389]

It was fun watching you and Romeo making chili. I can’t eat red or black beans but chick peas I can eat. My last meal would be chicken Parmesan and penne

[@opheliapayne4100]

You've had lots of cravings lately MaCenna 👀😅

[@foxlove-nj5ri]

I'm surprised that football player hasn't brushed all the enamel from his teeth

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

My first thought, too!

[@C.yamashita]

my husband will lose everything too. lucky i know where he puts 90% of it lol

[@jeanettewhite2144]

Loved vlogmas 2 and I watched Candy Cane Lane today also and I loved it ❤❤❤

[@sharoncherry]

My one meal would be pinto beans, boiled cabbage and cornbread. It's a southern thing.

[@madeline795]

You are quite beautiful with or without makeup. You are a natural beauty.

[@karolhenderson8888]

How will the candles be delivered ? UPS ? Fed ex? USPO? Will we get an email telling us they are coming ?

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

The chili 🌶 looked amazing! Do you wash the walls before painting or do you just remove any dust? ❤❤❤

[@nicoletunkara8988]

Omg... Merry Christmas from Tacoma, WA...MaCenna, Romeo, and Kinsley!

[@BP-cs9qo]

There are 7 before yours. If you go to the top of the comments section and select newest, comments are in order from first at the bottom to most recent at the top.

[@curlsot1639]

Steak, lobster mac n’ cheese, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, & NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Lol. Edit: Add grilled shrimp and lobster. 😅

[@Pkeats817]

Yum.

[@nollyngemntu6152]

I don't know how but this vlogmas has become a keeping up with Macena and Romeo which I'm really enjoying! Also Romeo has a really cool personality

[@reneezubaty7926]

❤💚❤💚 Nice to see Romeo! Love Vlogmas. Thank you MaCenna

[@logical_pandemonium]

!! I just had a brain blast. Is it possible to completely open/unfold the box, flip it inside out, and then have, like, a cube painting?? Anyway, back to business, love watching you and seeing how your mind works through all your designs and ideas! ❤

[@xomacennavlogs]

you totally could! hahah

[@elainebenham4739]

Indian food for me

[@lynnnovak889]

My meal: chicken and dumplings. It's a soup, it's a stew, it's comfort food!
