STRANGE TRADITIONS, COMMENTS & CAROLS?! | Day 19 - Vlogmas 2023

[@alekfelis]

Speaking for myself, but the reason to dedicate so much time watching several Vlogmas is to support creators that give value to us during the year. It's someone's real life and it's not supposed to be a Hallmark production, you are doing a great job in creating a nice, casual, authentic mixture between music and fiber art! Thank you for investing your time and sorry to see it's so frustrating! But you are doing really great, several people I've been watching this year already have given up when they saw that Vlogmas does not pay out for them. I had to give up from watching a few, because it was looking like a waste of my time, as this is a two-way process.

Thanks for working so hard to make enjoyable and entertaining content for us all Jack. As a 'vlogmaser' (?) myself, I totally get where you're coming from. It's flipping hard work keeping all the balls in the air, not to mention all the stuff you can't record and trying to think of stuff that's interesting on the days when life has been extremely mundane. Keep your chin up and keep doing what you're doing-it's great! Thank you.

I watched this episode the other night while wrapping my presents and forgot to comment to say thank you for answering my question! We also open our 'main' presents (i.e. not santa gifts) in the afternoon so I'm with you there - it makes things last longer! And gives more time to appreciate things a bit more instead of moving straight onto the next thing 😊 I really enjoy following along with your vlogmas, and I don't mind how long or 'full' each episode is as I can imagine (and see from your time lapses) how much work goes into it! And the most important thing is that you're present in your own life, rather than living through a lens for other people. That's a lot of pressure and there's always going to be a minority who forget that you're a human with your own stuff going on. You're going a great job, and I hope you enjoy the free time you'll get from not doing this each day! In the meantime, I always look forward to checking whether there's a video from you in the evening 😊

Thanks for doing Vlogmas Jack - I'm loving it! Unfortunately, we all get comments sometimes that point out only the negatives. Vlogmas is fun but also hard work and it's difficult to please everybody. Just carry on being you, because you're ace! 😉

You do a great vlogmas Jack. It’s real and interesting. No expectations from me, I just enjoy when you do post.

Thanks for posting your vlogs😊 my family and I open our Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve. This s give us time to sleep in and on Christmas morning, we make breakfast, enjoy your gifts, and enjoy mimosas 😁🥂🍾

Thank you for your honesty and the way you present vlogmas. Your Christmas day tradition does not seem odd to me. A stocking in the morning from Father Father Christmas containing some nuts, an orange, socks and a small gift. Presents come after lunch and the King's speech. Generally a day to spend time with the family, remember the occasion and relax. 🇬🇧

I would just like to thank you for the vlogs and other episodes you make. I appreciate the time they take. I would love to see and hear more of the music you perform but realise you need 2 hands to play! Anything you make, anytime, is fine by me! I don't you know how you fir recording in when you have other things like performing etc to do. Christmas is a busy time for us all so, as you said, don't be hard on yourself! I hope you didn't have too many of those comments sighing over unanswered comments! Merry Christmas to all those here who are subscribed😊

I’m playing catch up with vlogmas just because of work and crazy busy time of year. Thanks for sharing your Christmas Day antics, that’s what we do to - it’s better to spread the joy over the day I agree ❤🎄🎄✨✨✨ It’s hard to stay motivated with vlogmas but we are loving it so keep going 😊

Always enjoyable Jack xx

Lovely way to end the video with music. I wish singing in pubs was a thing where I live!

[@bgbaltuth]

Goodness. I got it .

[@moiragarner1253]

And I followed and supported everything you have done for a long while. Including watching your videos everyday

[@verenameyer9046]

Still love your Podcast. I had to say goodby to my Cat today. You got a smile to my face just like that.

[@moiragarner1253]

One final thing I only asked questions because he didn’t have any to answer that day and thought it would help 😮

[@Felicihobbies]

Loving the vlogmas and podcasts! I know on a previous podcast you mentioned that you haven’t traveled that much outside of the UK, but do you have a “dream destination” or a “bucket list” place you’d like to visit? Also ignore me if this was answered on the other vlog I can’t remember if you stated this 😂 Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@julierogers1155]

QUESTION (for "Quistmas"): Why do you so often look perplexed?

[@savyjett]

I mean…technically christmas is until 1/6…😊

[@moiragarner1253]

That’s upset me. I don’t know your life
