I hope Luke gets his stocking this year 🎄🧦

[@GloriaStagmer]

Merry Christmas to all who follow around the world. It is great fun to watch Luke and Julie . In addition it is fun to read everyone's comments from around the world. From Middleton , USA. 🌲🍾⭐

Merry Christmas Gloria, from MA!!

I am American and I grew up, along with my four siblings, waking up to our stockings on the foot of our beds. I always thought as I grew up that it was to give our parents more sleep time as we were all occupied and excited discovering our goodies. We carried on the tradition with our children and now our 4 grandchildren. HOWEVER, as I live in Tuscany in Italy...I rather like the children receiving their stockings on January 6th, the Ephiany from La Befana. Love and blessings to ALL no matter what traditions you may have. Keep it simple....less IS more!

Merry Christmas to all our wonderful Mapperton friends!

[@tzok09]

This came out on Christmas Eve in the U.S.

[@tecora7419]

I have to say that you 2 are hilarious Luke focused on the Fire asking us to help him while you Julie are trying to remember what the skirt is called 😂😂 I'm here cracking up. Glad to know you are just 2 real normal people not pompous at all. ❤

[@rolandacollins6545]

I was thinking the same thing, so funny. Love them.

[@katis7673]

Merry Christmas Luke & Julie! We’re watching this morning from sunny Arizona and it is Christmas Eve. Glad you got the fire going, Luke, and I have to say, I love the bread pudding recipe you gave out. So fun to hear you recount the Christmas traditions.

[@wendyr435]

[@charitoholbrook7865]

Love how you guys are so normal. This makes your videos so entertaining. I'm in Virginia USA

[@windsongdesigns6655]

Merry Christmas to you both and to your families. You always give a chuckle or laugh while watching. I love how down to earth you are. The Christmas decorations look beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful 2025. Hugs from Canada.

[@lynnwasylkevych4786]

Americans most definitely have poppers and crackers in the southern states. Those traditions were part of what came from Victorian ancestry. It could never be done inside the home but was taken outside while enjoying the cool evening air. My Grandmother cooked and baked food from that time period. She had a wood burning stove and made a fresh coconut cake for dessert which was served Christmas evening after dinner.

[@brendastajkowski502]

I am not sure how the two of you get anything done. It keeps going back and forth and Luke keeps adding more and more to the "to do list". I think he enjoys Christmas more than the children do!!!

[@4dbak]

My wife and I send warm holiday greetings to your family for a healthy, prosperous new year.

[@liberatedlady4689]

Watching this on Christmas Eve❣️ Wishing you and yours an amazing Yuletide Season.

[@janetdoten4489]

Watching this on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thanks for sharing

[@ilenemckenna3909]

Merry Christmas!!!!! How about doing a Mapperton Cookbook, with the proceeds going to repair and restoration projects? I look forward to your weekly videos and can't wait to see what happens in 2025.

[@cassandraelliot7878]

As a retired elementary school teacher, I could always point out the students who received more than 3 gifts (from their parents) because their eyeballs were spinning in their heads. I would scan the class and ask them to stand up. I was amazingly accurate. It stunned the students.

[@wdjones4735]

Merry Christmas from Yuma, Az🌵🎄🌵🎄

[@jmcaulay577]

Merry Christmas, it's Christmas Eve day here. No turkey, did that, no stuffing, did that too. Can't stand bread sauce and the last Christmas pudding tasted like rubber. So we are having delicious roast beef, roast potato, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potato, peas and Christmas cookies. The perfect match of America and England. Oh I forgot the Christmas Crackers. Having those too. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@AnonymousUser-e2w]

GOOD SAVE LUKE!!! OUR KIDS DO WATCH THIS SHOW!!! DON'T RUIN THE MAGIC!!!

[@stacyp1963]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. And i hope everyone has a happy New Year.

[@OBXDewey]

When you said poppers I immediately thought of jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese, breaded, then deep fried or baked. Yum. Merry Christmas. 🎅

[@WayfaringDay]

Me two. Double yum!

[@OBXDewey]

@WayfaringDay 😊

[@ej12349]

When I was growing up (I live in the U.S.) the stockings were filled with fruit, nuts, candy and one small stocking stuffer (wrapped gift) that we opened first thing before breakfast, then opened presents after breakfast. I'm from a large family, we drew names as we became adults. Now, I just buy gifts for my Great nieces and nephews.

[@ladybarbarapinsonartist431]

Luke &Julie, what a delight. I'm watching while cooking my Christmas 🎄 feast of roasted lamb, apples, onions and fruited wild rice while sipping peppermint cocoa. I understand you are occupied with a crazy schedule. I'm lector tonight All Saints. Light of the world...🌟

[@ladybarbarapinsonartist431]

Movies d" rigeur : "The Bishop's Wife, " Love Actually" , "The Polar Express", " Miracle on 34th Street ". Champagne and peppermint cocoa, fire, and a snuggly blanket with Christmas feast nibbles. Happy Christmas 🎄

[@MapleRhubarb]

Merry Christmas Julie, Luke and family! Found you randomly a few months ago and I've been hooked watching the backlog of videos. Happy new year!

[@hilaryholt3061]

What a lovely idea to tell all the family about your Alberta research and let them talk to AI Alberta! I hope you have a lovely day! Happy Christmas!

[@kq20117]

Sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas for Julie and a Happy Christmas for all the Brits.

[@OnaMuir]

Luke, Cumberland Sauce is the best! Will need to try your Bread Sauce. Merry, Merry and Happy, Happy Christmas.

[@tzok09]

No, I’ve always done the English version. But we had an orange and nuts and a candy cane in our stocking with a few small gifts which were from Santa. Our under the tree gifts were from parents etc..

[@ordiekelleher2641]

[@breathingspace5717]

You guys are hilarious! Love your vids… happy Christmas from Miami Beach! 🏝️ 🎄

[@amandacushman4352]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! Those are lovely stockings! They would make great decorations now they aren't being filled anymore. Hmm, if the kids aren't too attached to them remaining in original form, they would look amazing as pillows. Mend the holes and stuff with pillow filler. Would look cute with a little stuffed animal peeking out of the top.

[@LynneLovett]

Merry Christmas to all in England and here in America 🎄🎅🎄 !!

[@CarolSilliman]

Julie, while we as Americans can appreciate all the many Christmas traditions in the UK, thank you for upholding our US traditions!!! Both are enriching!!! You and Luke are very blessed!! Merry Christmas!!

you are very natural and not acting , it is such a joy watching your videos 😄 love and respect you both very much 🙂 Happy Christmas And Merry New Year 🎄 🎉

[@debkendall]

In Australia growing up we had pillow cases at the end of the bed for Father Christmas to fill. we were very lucky. We also have boxing day as a holiday, plus our summer holidays.

[@shellhenriksen7289]

In Australia, our stocking was a pillow case that went on the end of the bed and Santa would fill it with gifts. Presents under the tree were from friends and family.

[@lrogers707]

Luke is subtly funny - thank you for sharing your Christmas traditions...Happy Holidays & Cheers to 2025!

[@Blueeyedconcubine]

This will be my first Christmas without my Dad. He passed away on the 18th of December. I'm just trying to get through this Christmas. On top of that I woke up extremely sick. I appreciate your video.

[@eveningcricket]

Loved hearing about all the Christmas Traditions, both British and American! It's fun to compare them both, also to see how they differ. I've learned about a few British ones I wasn't aware of before! You both have so much to prepare for, but it all sounds marvelous and I'm sure everyone will love it! All my best to your whole family - Merry Christmas!!!

[@crinkle2649]

Julie, why wouldn't you give each other gifts? I agree with Luke, you should fill up each other's stockings. The gifts the kids get you can go into them too.

[@axeljacobs9723]

You 2 are hillarious! Have fun prattling around that big House of yours, and Merry Christmas! Greetings from California!❤🥂🎄

[@lynneuribeross2695]

MerryChristmas!!!

[@taraander]

I find that most families have their own traditions and there isn’t one “American” way to do it and it’s also regional. For instance we always did satsumas in the stocking and had a ton of gifts in them, frequently needing a bag for overflow. Also, Santa only brought a few gifts, not all the ones that were under the tree. Merry Christmas. Also, we do stockings even when everyone is grown!

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

In America The figgy pudding might end with the fire department dropping by. But it sounds interesting 😊

[@kimwise1933]

Merry Christmas to you all. Thank u for sharing with us

[@phildwyer1488]

Happy Christmas from Australia Luke and Julie! Love your channel and all that you do to give us a glimpse of life in Mapperton! It’s Christmas Day already here, lovely and sunny and warm so there’ll definitely be a swim in the pool and backyard cricket after lunch. We have seafood, a side of salmon, crayfish , oysters, prawns and lots of yummy salads to beat the heat here. Plus of course pavlova instead of plum pudding (my brother in law is bringing ice cream plum pudding though). (Ps we also as children had pillowslips at the bottom of the bed)

[@Laura-g1c1l]

CHRISTMAS EVE HERE! I always stuffed my children's big stockings with wrapped gifts (sometimes there were so many there were packages alongside the side of the stockings -as they were too hefty to hang once filled:), and we're in Canada. I sincerely hope that Luke gets a stuffed stocking--it's only fair!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
