the great annual advent calendar hunt

[@elisabeth6273]

These vlogs give me such a warm fuzzy feeling! The way you interact with your family and the fun you have together reminds me of my family. I moved out a few years ago, and I wish I could see my family more often. It gets lonely living on my own, but these vids makes me remember the fun times we had together, so I just wanted to thank you for that!

[@xxxxOS]

Same 😊 Hang in there. 🌸

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

I've never lived on my own, but I may one day soon, I went straight from living with family to living with a roommate. What's it like alone? Is it scary, lonely, boring, too quiet.? Is there an upside? Get to make your own decisions, know that something will be where and how you left it? Not have got clean up after someone else?

[@xxxxOS]

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 Yeah those are some of the good reasons for living alone but honestly, its good living with someone else because you can share chores and bills etc. When you live alone you have no help, if the house gets messy its on you to clean it, if the bins need to be taken out its up to you, bills up to you, it can be stressful knowing its all on you to keep it all going. I have a cat so I'm not totally alone I don't know where I'd be without her, but she's been very ill for a whole year with liver disease and trying to keep this house running and pay vet bills, take her to vets every week etc all on my own has been extremely hard. It's been the worst year of my life. I sometimes daydream of the times I lived at home and didn't have all this worry. But I wouldn't change it because I'm proud of myself for being strong and getting through it all, just, lol.

[@elisabeth6273]

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 I lived with roommates a year before I found a place for my own, and I much prefer living alone. I do agree with ​@UCsrSxRw6YpvHFzSJwQlbeIA, it's nice to split the chores so you don't have to keep up with the whole house by yourself. But I noticed that my hygiene standarts were a little higher than those of my three roommates. They always left the kitchen and shower pretty gross for example, so I loooove cooking and showering in a clean place now! I also wasn't able to unwind with people always being around me, and even if I was alone in my room I could hear what the other s were doing and vice versa. I could hear conversations and other sounds from the other room right through the wall. Horrible when they would have their boyfriend over :(( I haaaated that haha When I first moved in the place for my own it was pretty quiet, and I did get quite lonely. Even now I struggle with that sometimes. So I really have to push myself to get out of my apartment and hang out with friends or invite people over. With roommates you always have people to talk to, and on your own you have to make more of an effort to reach out to people if you want to talk. I do also have a cat to keep me company, and that was the best decision ever. She is the greatest and sweetest and I don't know what I'd do without her. But there are definitely a lot of positives! I for one love that the cleaning and everything is only up to me. That means that I can decide how clean of messy my space is! It did seem like too much to handle in the beginning (bc in an ideal world I want everything clean all the time), but I just do a chore or two everyday to keep up with the housework. I also let go of my high standarts a little bit. Not everything has to be cleaned every week. I'm sorry for the wall of text, I tried to keep it short but I just can't haha. Also sorry in advance for spelling/grammar mistakes, English is not my native language. Good luck to you for when you're going to be living on your own! The step might a bit frightening, but you only know how you'll like it when you do it!

[@elisabeth6273]

@@xxxxOS You're doing great, taking care of you're cat like that and trying to keep up with housework and everything. You've probably heard this a million times, but life really does get better. You've already come this far, you can do this! Also, remember that it's okay to ask for help. Maybe you have family or friends that can help you give your place a good clean, or join you and your cat to the vet so you don't have to go alone. From my experience, people are willing to help as long as you just ask for it. Sending my love to you and your cat, I hope he/she is going to get much better soon!

[@kholl2285]

I absolutely adore how genuine you are... you are such an amazing example of humility, kindness, and relationship building. I love seeing your family interacting in the vlogs - you can see how much fun you have together, and watching your videos just makes me happy... it’s like the Hallmark Channel! (Do you have the Hallmark channel in England?) You really have something wonderfully special and rare about you ... the world is truly a better place because you are in it.

[@rosemarypreston1726]

Whenever you do this I feel so inadequate with my plain Mars bar advent calendar

[@janani1826]

Rosie Lds fam I went to the petrol station and chose the cheapest...

[@siee1418]

I love how you buy extra calendars, you are such a kind soul!

[@katyeustace9967]

the world is so depressing at the moment but it was so heart warming to see you buy extra advent calendars for those who don't have them. Also peoples gifts were so thoughtful.

[@FlapjackR]

Katy Eustace Why do you think the world is depressing?

[@lillianjanky9211]

Grace, I appreciate you SO much and I know you love baths so I wanted to get you some sweet Lush, but they don’t let you write much at all!!! I was bummed, but just know that your videos are such an encouragement to me and I feel like we are besties 👯 5ever 💕 enjoy your baths! On another note, I got my cat an advent calendar this year so that we can celebrate advent together this year, and it was the best decision of my life 😂

[@00000materialization]

lillian janky that is so sweet! Honestly, so much love in this comment section...It‘s heart warming xx

[@xghoulishgalx]

when you're Australian and the only advent calendar you ever had was those $2 ones with the cheap chocolate in them...

They are!! If you’re in the US target has them, I’m sure other places have them if you look!

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

[@berenicethegirl]

You're literally the only youtuber whose videos I don't skip through and actually watch till the end (not to be demeaning towards other KZbinrs, you're just fab haha and I really feel like we could be friends you know)

[@evieee42]

[@theartist_harlivi]

This was so beautiful! Love your family interactions and just seeing you being yourself. You are so truly lovely.

You are such a bright light in this dark world❤️ Thankyou for shining so lovely

[@larasutherland2260]

Debenhams had a black Friday weekend half price special on a make up advent calender from £90 to £45 for apparently £190 pounds worth of make up. I didn't get one, only saw it advertised but thought it might be interesting. Still expensive though.

[@SophieBrown24]

the body shop advent calendar is usually reduced quite a lot if you buy it after christmas! just get it then and keep it until next christmas 👍🏻

[@sarapitcher3179]

OMG your Family and friends are so lucky to have you I wish someone would get me a specialized advent calendar lol your family.....seriously, you guys are so wholesome, loving, and amazing!!

[@Ali-xj8lf]

My cat has dreamies and now I feel like he and banksy and chums 🐱😂💖

[@ionagrace534]

I've only ever gotten an advent calendar once in my life. I ways want to get one but I end up forgetting till it's like halfway through December. I'll have to start a yearly reminder in November to go out and buy some !

[@lucy13133]

I was feeling so down today and then saw you uploaded on this channel and it just made things a little bit better. Loving the Christmas content 😊

Me stressed out and decides to watch KZbin but goes to subscriptions and gets sad there’s no new posts then goes to the homepage and then sees there’s a new red dot on subscriptions. Grackle coming in with videos at the perfect timing just made my morning 😊

[@jaimeknarr1809]

Alexaa555 hope your day gets better.

[@Alexaa555]

Jaime Knarr Thank you! :) Just that time of the school year that finals are coming up and being worried about grades.

[@jaimeknarr1809]

Alexaa555 I remember it well. The final is just one part so try not to stress too much. I know that is hard though.

[@lenalilti4350]

Always post the videos you feel like posting! if you enjoy them, we probably will too, and if you think they "arent good enough" they probably are ! keep posting !!

[@oceanstgoe1082]

Should’ve gone to Debenhams!! They had a good advent calendar selection this year-some regular chocolate ones but also a bunch of special ones I hadn’t seen before.

[@sarahfarrell8214]

Love you loads too, I'm so happy you received all those sweet things, you are just so genuine and kind!!! Love ya!

Hello from Tokyo! Uniqlo is a Japanese company and the Japanese are the best at little storage etc like your jacket! You should test bizarre kitchen products from Japan! You would love some of them!

[@shortstuffchats]

NZ gets such lame advent calendars ☹ those look so cool! My sisters boyfriend's mum made us a personalized family advent calendar this year and it's amazing, it rotates through the fam day by day, maybe next year you could do one like that for your fam? It sounds right up your alley 😁

[@gracem3303]

Just found your channel the other day and from one Grack to another, you are so awesome. Fave youtuber! You're super funny, kind, genuine, creative.. ya got it all! :)

Can reccomend the tea one, currently got it this year round and damn am I impressed. I usually stick to my typical 4 different flavours so it's like a taste test pic'n'mix kind of thing
