You are such a warmhearted soul that my family loves watching. We care about your family and friends. We wish you a very Merry holiday season. 🎉❤

[@TheJoelWood]

Aw thank you so much, that’s very kind ❤️

[@performingartseducator]

Hey Joel! Happy Holidays! I noticed that you spoke about Lucy’s wedding in the last vlog but I don’t remember that you vlogged about Lia’s wedding on your non-member’s channel. Hopefully you both are on good terms. I’m missing the laughs that you both had on your Brit’s channel. It’s amazing how both of your lives have changed. I watch both of your individual channels in support. Also, are there any news on your acting / voiceovers? I haven’t heard anything.

[@lindagarcia8826]

Hi Joel, Looking forward to new experiences with you and I enjoy the old. I miss seeing your Mom, more Mom next year please. God bless.

[@crinkle2649]

If you go the a Christmas market in Germany, bundle up and make sure you have thick socks and snow boots. Germany is freezing in the winter. I know you like the cold but you won't like frostbite. And Keegan hates the cold so make sure he stays warm.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Looking forward to festive Christmasy vlogs. Didn't realize "cruising" was a thing. I love peppermint chocolate flavored...anything. I do...strangely...like the house vlogs. Something comforting about watching you and other vloggers do mundane things. I think the walk you take every day with the dogs through the field of cows and horses on a cold, misty day...lovely. I hope Lucy had a beautiful wedding.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Finally, Joel has made the video he really wanted to make. He’s Dunkiwood (like Dunkacino but with Joel Wood)

[@justinh8417]

Love these Q&A videos. Excited to see 2024 with you & Keegan. 🥂

We miss you here in Central Florida! So glad you'll have 2 weeks in February!!! Do you have a fireplace? We use ours in Tampa January and February for sure. ❤

18:02 Cruising indeed has a great fan base. Although it used to be called cottaging.

[@Sandra_Kidd]

My sis has worked for a cruise line for over 30 years and I didn’t bother to use her friends and family discount until last year. What a dummy I was! I am a complete convert! Last year I did an Alaskan cruise. Beyond amazing! Will do again! This year it was a Mediterranean cruise from Rome to Barcelona. You would love it. It was one of the best trips I have ever taken. Next year I want to do another European cruise maybe northern European, or I’d love to do some thing in Asia. I lived in Japan for four year, so I’d love to go back to Japan. Anyway, fun Duncan vlog! 🍩 ☕️

[@orielwiggins2225]

Yay! A good Ole Q&A. AND a taste test review. Thanks again Joel.

Love going through houses with you and taking cruises with you and Information about cruises with you is awesome and you are doing the wise thing and not pushing your budget and I love you always so much and I’m so excited about your Florida trip. (my honey and I are about to go to Cape Canaveral area. He works for NASA here in Huntsville Alabama & we hope one day soon we live there.

[@bobcatjordan]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on cruising. My husband and I have gone on the large ships before and whilst they were fine, last summer we discovered Viking. We absolutely loved it. We went down the Rhine and it was incredible. The service is 5 stars. We are going to go on another Viking cruise this coming summer on the Danube. We are really looking forward to it. I hope you guys have a great time in Florida.

[@Marowyn]

I've looked forward to, and enjoyed every day of November!! Thanks Joel ❤

[@RobLobb321]

My husband and I just did a Virgin Voyages cruise from Barcelona (Irresistible Med itinerary) that left the day following our 9 year anniversary in July! We FINALLY decided to go on a cruise specifically because of your reviews of Virgin Voyages! Absolutely obsessed with Virgin now btw

This is Joel Wood living his best life. You just seem very happy and content! Sad about the house but with interest rates at astronomical heights, smart to wait. Very happy for you, Joel!

[@kimbanuelos2039]

I booked a virgin cruise after your recent videos. I've been thinking about it for quite some time and finally decided to do it!

[@EphemeralProductions]

The mint and hot cocoa thing has been around some time. I’m nigh on 50 and I remember when I was a kid my mom taught me to put peppermint lozenges in my cup of hot cocoa to dissolve. :)

[@neutrino78x]

Joel how about the caramel apple spice from Starbucks? It's basically like Apple Cider -- the American, non-alcoholic version of apple cider -- with caramel added. It's very good 🙂 Not sure if they offer it in the UK but if they do, you should try it. In the USA, you can usually get Warm Apple Cider at an ice cream shop, coffee shop, farmer's market, or Christmas Tree farm (the latter obviously only during Christmas season). 🙂

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

When I first had that drink...twenty years ago? I was ...gobsmacked. LIke drinking liquid gold.

[@juliaellis2046]

Winter is slow for housing market. It picks up in the spring. If the house you like is still on the market, you will probably get a better price due to sitting on the market for so long. Being as the spring market should be stronger, you two might do better in the sale of Keegan's house. You seem happier in yourself since you have moved in with Keegan. I am so happy for you.

[@Brooksie603]

My sister recently did a European cruise with her husband for just over 3 weeks. She regrets the time of year they went because the ocean was very rough and even with the nausea patch it was hard. There was a point where they were at sea for 5 or six days straight so they had to go into the lowest part of the ship for the majority of the days to avoid feeling sick. They had a nice room but it was at the higher part of the ship and they felt the rough waters. So if you do a Euro cruise find out when the water is less choppy.

[@jamesvickers7466]

Just seen youre interested in a Virgin Voyage with more city stops.. we're going on an asian voyage with them in April from Singapore to Dubai stopping in Malaysia, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. I think you and Keegan would enjoy something like that! They also do one from Singapore to Australia - would be great to see that content :D

[@dorothy4710]

You have to do a Mediterranean cruise, I've done quite a few on Princess cruises.....please check our the itineraries

[@chrisk5651]

I would do an Alaskan cruise or a river cruise on the Rhine or Danube or elsewhere in Europe. But not the Caribbean.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Great video have a lovely weekend 🥰

[@thickernell]

We used have 20 oz hot chocolates at the football stadium in college so we'd sneak in flasks of Peppermint Schnapps in our socks and add it to the hot chocolate. Delicious and cheaper than buying at a coffee shop or bar.

[@Brooksie603]

Ps… I am putting good vibes out that the house you, Keegan and kids love WILL be yours. It’s meant to be and it will wait for you. Also, you both will do well with work and get a good bump in pay to put that money down that you need for the house. 💫 Good karma vibes all around💫

[@TheRainbowCoach]

The employees probably think you being a content creator and vlogging about them is pretty cool! 🙃✅️

Joel, I envy your youth, ambition, and energy. Allow those holidays to just relax and enjoy the scenery, and of course each other❤️

[@joesimeao7611]

They just built a Dunkin nest door from my house and I hate it I payed 3.59 for a hot cup of watered down coffee and a tree on their property fell and did damage to my property and when I contacted the headquarters they didn't even respond anyway thanks Joel for all of your hard work I always appreciate watching your videos .... Best wishes to you and Keegan from NY❤🎄

[@MsTrain69]

I like a little of both kinds of vlogs: at home/daily life but also trips/errands/seeing your family/shopping. I also like this kind where you try different products. I enjoyed the ones where you ordered clothes to see what they picked out for you. All things Joel basically 😊

[@dorothypaul4642]

I'm looking forward to anything Christmasy that you do. Maybe a Christmas market? And I'm so happy that you and Keegan will have a couples holiday in Florida in February!

[@lelandpeck4585]

Now that was very informative . So glad you have settled in and are comfortable with the move. This was a very newsy and exciting vlog with very positive vibs. Joel, I think you and Keegan should go to Switzerland for a skiing weekend. Would love to see that!! Do that before you head to Florida. Really enjoyed Keegan's vlog on your last family trip to Florida. Looking forward to "keegan and Joel". Hope you all have a great week!!

[@VMeral]

I wish you a merily start of the holiday season Joel🎄 I might have to go try those drinks they seem like a real treat!

[@joesimeao7611]

You guys should go to southern Portugal

[@joesimeao7611]

My family is from Portugal and I agree all of Algarve is beautiful

[@BobsCreativeDays]

Always nice to have a little catch-up on plans and projects. Also I was surprised to realize that February’s trip would be your and Keegan’s first couple vacation alone. Even though it will be a working vacation.

[@carinhurt2684]

So fun! Love this because I just don't have the stomach to taste all of the sugary drinks... love them, but I gotta take it in stride!

[@marisolwilliams2921]

Love love your videos, everything will work out for the best. Quick tip on islands you should visit the island of Puerto Rico , great beaches and beautiful towns or you can just stay in San Juan.

[@lifeofamil-wife]

My favorite way to drink hot chocolate is to add a peppermint tea bag in it. Give it a try

[@TheJoelWood]

I will definitely try this!!

[@wPatrickSF]

Hi Joel, I can't believe that Vlogmember is almost over. Just a thought on cruses: The Mexican Riviera is a Fabulous cruse. You would first need to get to LA or San Diego then a seven day cruse goes to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Acapulco. All three are great cities. I went jungle hiking in Puerto Vallarta and beachy stuff in Mazatlán, and toured Acapulco. The best time to go is in November. The weather is perfect and unlike the Atlantic, no November hurricane weather.

[@luminiferous1960]

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency: "The official hurricane season for the eastern Pacific basin [which includes the coast of Mexico] is from May 15 to November 30, but tropical cyclones occasionally occur before and after these dates, respectively. A peak in activity is noted in late August, but this peak is less pronounced than the peak in Atlantic activity." On 24 Oct 2023 category 5 hurricane Otis made landfall near Acapulco: - 03:00 UTC (10:00 p.m. CDT October 24) at 16.1°N 99.7°W - Hurricane Otis intensifies to Category 5 strength about 55 mi (90 km) south-southeast of Acapulco. - 06:25 UTC (1:25 a.m. CDT) at 16.8°N 99.9°W - Hurricane Otis makes landfall with sustained winds of 165 mph (270 km/h) about 5 mi (8.0 km) south of Acapulco. - 09:00 UTC (4:00 a.m. CDT) at 17.2°N 100.1°W - Hurricane Otis weakens to Category 4 strength inland about 25 mi (40 km) north-northwest of Acapulco. Currently (24 Nov 2023), there is a tropical storm, Ramon, in the Eastern Pacific Basin southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula: - 03:00 UTC (7:00 p.m. PST, November 24) at 13.8°N 122.6°W - Tropical Depression Twenty‑E strengthened into Tropical Storm Ramon about 1,040 mi (1,675 km) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Great video. I find housing fascinating in the UK. Could you do a video going more in detail about buying a house in UK. It sounds incredibly different than the USA and sounds so much more expensive.

You should go on a Nile cruise. Now that’s a cruise worth visiting.

[@geolee9522]

As a person who is intensely introverted I find the thought of a cruise slightly horrifying … as for a cruise with lots and lots of stops … that's hitting nightmare territory.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Curious Joel if you and Lucy could create a company putting the London house under the company name. I’m thinking the London flat is now a full rental. This might save you the additional fees. Just a thought. ~Cara 😊

[@TheJoelWood]

Sadly we can’t without incurring a massive tax bill. We’d have to sell it to ourselves at the current value and then pay capital gains tax. BUT I have a property expert helping us find another way to do it which might work! So we will see!

[@elaineturcotte1043]

After you talked about all the financial issues around potentially buying the house, I remember you said your mom burst out laughing when you told her you were thinking of buying a horse. 😂 Somehow these things will all work out for the best. I understand what you were saying about not wanting to offend the owners of the house you hope to buy, with too low of an offer, but have you thought about writing to them and letting them know who you both are, how much you and your family love the place and what you will be doing to make a better offer? A personal connection can go a long way in your favor and since it has not been selling, together with the owners, you might even be able to work out an extended payment plan over a certain number of years (if they don't need all of the money up front). Who knows, they might be open to something that an estate agent wouldn't think of.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Rudolph is so cute! ❤❤

[@carried1113]

Could you explain what stamp duty is? Is it like taxes? Also, why is it higher when you have more than one house?

[@TheJoelWood]

It’s basically a property tax you have to pay when you purchase a new property. For some reason if you already have one property you pay a higher rate.

Joel, I've seen a few comments over the last few months saying ppl feel like you've "lost your sense of self" in your videos since being with Keegan. They really annoy me but I'm curious to what you think of those statements.

[@dww2006]

Living permanently in Florida? OMG I cannot imagine that or even wintering there. The place frightens me, so does Arizona. Now Palm Springs in Cali, even with the San Andreas Fault outside the city I’d rather face an earthquake than Florida. To each their own. I think I heard you say there was a Tim Hortons where you are. So iconically Canadian, their December flavour is Bailey’s. Is that similar where you are? Being “house poor” is never the ideal, but I’m surprised at how complex it is to get a mortgage in Britain. So different than here, you are approved for a mortgage amount, at least a maximum amount, then you only look at what is in your price range. You only pay federal tax if it’s a new build. So once tax has been paid a property is never re-taxed. When I bought my condo I was approved up to $500,000 CDN but I paid only $192,000 because I found what I wanted. My only real additional costs were the legal fees and the inspection. The seller pays their realtor and my realtor costs. So much clearer.

[@dorismedvetz5796]

Was wondering about you and lia are you still friends?

Ever drive over to the Tim Hortons? It's not that far from the Odsal Dunkin.

As far as the house goes, maybe God put a stumbling block in your way because He has something better for you. Whenever my son is complaining about traffic I tell him God slowed the traffic down to save him from an accident (I know how he drives). So, just be on the lookout for a better home and deal. 😉🙏

There is no way for me to be able to drink any of these sweet drinks or donuts? The calorie count? At least you guys go to the gym on a daily basis. I liked the travel vlogs as well as the "day in the life" vlogs. It's great that you are busy with your many outlets. I do appreciate the amount of effort it takes to post a vlog. Now that you are a year in with your life with Keegan under the same roof it's comforting to know that you have settled in the life in the north. The real estate market there and in the states has slowed down during this time of year there it's good it's not your focus at this point. There is a big gay cruise following. Not necessarily the "gay cruises". I do enjoy cruising.
