Vlogmas 2020: Day 12

[@susanbrandt6642]

Can you show us what your whole village from your advent calendar looks like please? I see you adding pieces, but I would like to see it out together 😊

[@normaquintero3598]

I love the doggie voice at the end. Great job. I really appreciate the time you put into this.

[@michelledesroches4627]

Wow. I can’t believe we’re halfway through Vlogmas!! Thank you for taking your time to make these vlogs! They make my days!!

[@giesellepoveromo2551]

Me too

[@fraserfilmsforfun4983]

I love the shopping local businesses in my community! The charm of a little brick and mortar store gets me every time!!!

[@darcyashley3889]

Half way into Vlogmas and my two favorite channels this year are Christopher Allen & the chateau diaries - so amazing that we have this wonderful platform to enjoy holiday celebrating. Thank you Christopher for doing this for us all to enjoy.

[@RaquelVanasse]

I’ve never been first in anything in my life. Thank you for all the dedication in doing these videos. I look forward to them everyday. Happy Holidays

[@beau23luv38]

Awww, Bubba's closed out the vlog that is just to cute and the Christmas decor in front of the house looks amazing 🙆🌸

[@heatherellam4137]

the porch is so fun and welcoming and happy!! well done ..... you had a good rest and it showed -- you were having an awesome hair day!! Supporting small business is so important, especially in these trying times ... bravo to you for including this in your vlog and remembering the local restaurants and coffee shops.

[@hollyewc]

So glad you took time to rest this morning. You look like you feel better. Also just know if you forget to sing “pour some sugar on me” I’m gonna be disappointed 🤣

[@MaryK-iw9xo]

Love the stores... and your home looks beautiful inside and out!

[@beverlymartin179]

After I finish decorating for Christmas, I always EDIT my decor inside and out. If I don’t I find I get tired of the decorations sooner and I think too much looks like a gift shop! Your front porch two pots and lanterns pulled out from the door would be all you need. LOL

[@terrik6257]

Love the ending with Bubba...too cute. Front porch decor looks stunning. I love candle lanterns, they bring a cozy look to everything. *BIG HUGS* to you all. Gratitude: I'm greatful to have time to relax on the weekends and just veg if I want to or work on a small project. It's nice to be able to unwind when we need to.

[@cindym3340]

Love that you support your local businesses. Those leopard shoes are everything!🎄

[@carolynmarshall1968]

🇬🇧 Really enjoyed this vlogmas, so nice to see you happy and that shop was Amazing! Porch and front of house looks very festive. But the way you’ve got me singing ‘Pour some sugar on me’ 😂

[@deannedeveaux5965]

Woke up super early before the kids, started laundry, put on a face mask and now catching up on vlogmas while downloading some articles. I feel like I'm spending the morning with my close friend in my head ☺️.

[@Paula-xp7ve]

I haven’t even finished decorating for this year and you are thinking about next year! LOL Love the front porch

[@tammystegall5130]

I'm not done either !!!

[@HJPeet]

i took out two christmas mugs and some elf socks and called it done! Yassss 2020 Chirstmas! this is what you look like.

[@mrs.r7023]

O.k. I don't want to single "ANYTHING" out because I love all your vlogs from start to finish. BUUUUTTTT I simply must tell you, I absolutely adore the gratitude jar this year!!!!!!!!

[@pamelapetrosino4437]

Your home exterior looks beautiful!! I love the items you purchased from the small businesses. Bubba is too cute for words!

[@TheNatureChick1]

I am picking up THE BEST decorating tips from you!!! I never thought of my front porch as a stage, but I love that, it makes such sense! Gorgeous outfit and shoes, I covet that peace sign wreath, and Bubba’s voice makes me laugh every time. ❤️

[@laurievera5137]

Love a hand-written receipt! And calculating tax by hand too! For planters I think of a “thriller, filler, and spiller” 💚

[@jillib.1323]

I couldnt use just one word for the front porch, so Im settling with a string of adjectives...welcoming, unique, interesting, classic, and beautiful! I had to pause the video and really look at the scene in its entirety. Now you've sparked me to make a few additions to my porch entry as well. Thanks for the great ideas! Merry Christmas

[@charlenewilliford6957]

Good job with the closing Bubbas. Great items from your local shops. Something I do also. Enjoyed seeing the outdoor lighting. Thought Steven was perfect until you said he was snoring. Vlogmas is going by so quickly.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Christopher! I've just found you this Christmas, and I wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your vlogs! I look forward to them each evening.

[@lvngu2]

I have throughly enjoyed everyday of vlogmas with you! The shop with me was so full of interesting pieces! The candle was beautiful! Your yellow door and holiday decor outside is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing a snippet of your day with us 🎄❄️

[@CAROLINAPARISLONDON]

Your front porch is out of this world!😍😍😍😍❤️ In France, our entrance won’t allowed for this type of decoration but if I could I would go crazy!!!!☺️😉😁✨

[@gzilla991]

Bubbas saying your tag line made me laugh so hard!! After a long week I also slept in today- definitely reminding myself to be gentle and to grant grace where needed this season. Thank you for bringing some joy to our home tonight Christopher!

[@krispippin1697]

🎉😴😴😴So happy that you were able to get a little more sleep this weekend! It truly did wonders for you! My sister would have loved that peace wreath! ✌🏻☮️😎 Thank you Bubbas for the sign off! ❤️❤️🐾🐾❤️❤️

[@banda2323]

I will be shopping small business this week if they aren't too busy. Love your front porch decor. The snowflakes look so pretty. Bubba's sign off was great! 😁

[@skylilly1]

I love your front porch and window snowflakes. The peace sign was a good find.

[@sharischmidt4712]

Catching up with you Sunday 🙂 Beautiful little shop's you stopped into, isn't these little store's just gem's !!!♥️ The outside of your home is lovely but the best thing for me ,was Babbas barking at you through the dining room window 💕 He remind me so much of our Aussie Doddle Finn, he's also not very nice to delivery people. l have to put him in an other room when receiving a delivery😳🐶♥️ Enjoying each day with you and your family 🎅⛄🎄

[@tayliztube]

I have dropped my addiction to real housewives. Too negative. Loving the real and positivity here

[@marcyvega5086]

Buh Byeeee (Bubba’s voice) makes me laugh every time. 🤣🤣🤣 There is a local toy store near me and they are becoming obsolete which breaks my heart. So sad when Toys R Us closed. A child should be able to run down the isles of a toy store and pick a toy or toys. Ordering online only is just not the same as giving kids that experience. So I chose to go to my local toy store today.

[@staroliva6502]

Christopher, your front porch is just stunning.Love the yellow door and just everything you’ve done to the front is just gorgeous. You outside decorations 👍👍 I’ve been trying to do the same on Sunday order dinner from small business around my town..🎄🎄😘

[@elizabetheveleigh54]

Your home looks gorgeous. I wish I lived closer so I could drive by and get a closer look. Unfortunately, I live thousands of miles away on the west coast🇨🇦😉. 💚❤️. Your today’s vlogmas was idyllic and sumptuous. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. You hit it out of the ballpark. ❤️💚❤️💚. Can’t wait to see your tomorrow’s post.💚❤️💚

[@juliaf5928]

Love seeing Bubbas in every vlog. I lost my beloved cat a few weeks ago and still struggling with the loss. Your vlog brings me happiness each day. Thank you.

[@bliven8704]

I’m so sorry. I hope your dreams are so full of happy memories that your days have no room for any more sadness. How loved your cat was. God bless.

[@tapestrytart4087]

Ah bubbas is so smart, I-loved him signing off ❤️🐕 🥰

[@pattom65calhoun37]

I got the Vlogmas Day 12 alert and said “ hooray”. I couldn’t wait to click on it. Also I’m so proud of you for not going into the store that was crowded. I always knew you were a smart man!

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

Hi Christopher! Your porch looks SO BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for taking us shopping, so fun!! Xoxo 😘🥰❤️🙏🏻🙏🏾 Can’t wait for tomorrow’s vlogmas.

[@carobinsonrobinson3109]

Always shop local!!! I have found the most amazing things and made new friends/ owners !! Just got an amazing gift and yes hand written receipt! Also thank you so much for Vlogmas... This year it's needed so much!!

[@cecectconnecticut344]

The peace sign would look great with lights wrapped around it

[@jenw3246]

Watching from Phoenix. Great to see so much greenery. Beautiful home. Beautiful family.

[@vuwilson]

I just binged like 4 episodes of Stylish and I love Jenna and feel like her best friend in my mind!!!

[@jodijoy8906]

💖❤️🧡💛Bubbes💚💙💜 & When Y👼U do his voice, it cracks me up. 😆

[@lkhawkins4482]

Bubbas closing out vlogmas tonight. Cute. : ) Love that you support small businesses!

[@janvandervegte2003]

Thanks for taking us shopping, it was enjoyable!

[@carolinebaranczyk1131]

Merry Christmas Christopher & Steven (all these years and you would think I know how Stephen spells his name) Bubba's has really gotten into the spirit of the advent calendars. He's hilarious!!!❤🏡

[@CynPope1]

Good morning my friend. Thanks for taking us shopping, I have been in the house for so long and have not been in a store since March. I have forgotten what it was like. :-) I may just have to play the footage several times so I feel like I am shopping.

[@HannahBMann]

Those urns are gorgeous! Will you show us the winter scene advent next time? I’m just curious to see all the little pieces coming together. Enjoy your weekend!!

[@djgarrett8096]

Jenna Lyons vibe...,.love it Christopher, me too 🕯 ...front porch is right on!!

[@laurepo9657]

Another nice vlog with all the Week-end things. Thank for sharing. The ending with bubba’s voice, nice touch :-) Hugs from France

[@heidishome2937]

Stunning porch. Next year I’m going to decorate mine. I founds some things I’ve tucked away for 2021.

[@EvieValentineGaskins]

Please tell sweet Bubbas that he did an amazing job closing out the video for day 12. You can tell he is a total professional! :)

[@CleverClarkCreations]

Love the video! I think it will be small business Saturday every week for me. It struck me as you said that, I also ordered out to a local restaurant! 😷❤️💕

[@constancehildreth4751]

I adore your front door and the decorations on your porch are stunning against the joyful yellow color! ❤️

[@Ssullivan352]

Hey Chris, Sorry if I've missed where you got the wallpaper from....but can you say? I am absolutely in love with it! Thanks!

[@lauragraham4888]

I really recommend you get a No Fog glasses cleaning cloth! I bought mine from a local opticians but was recommended it by a lovely lady in a shop that could see my struggle with wearing glasses and a mask! I got it within half a hour of her telling me about it and wow I couldn’t believe the difference it made! One tip would be to make sure you keep it in the bag it comes with, I almost threw mine away! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and looking forward to this weeks vlogmas, have a great day ❤️

[@amandanewson478]

Would you mind sharing how you store your Christmas decorations? And how you keep them separated by themes?

[@Uofaguy0507]

I’m sure many others have already said this be we are LOVING the intro! 🎄 🐕

[@suerichards1685]

Supporting small local businesses! Brilliant and so generous. Thanks!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sirprinceblair]

Hello Christoper, I was just wondering where did you get your leopard shoes from? I'm so in love with them.

[@sookeecarter5357]

I think I’ve solved the foggy glasses issue when I’m out and about masked up; the key is to ‘seal’ the mask at the top with a tissue. I fold the tissue into a rectangle and fold it over the bridge of my nose and out under my eyes, then I use a disposable paper mask with the nose wire and securely mold it to my nose, then I add a lovely fabric mask that sort of matches what I’m wearing over the top. Place my glasses over this ‘production’ and voila, I don’t suffer from foggy glasses even going in and out from the cold!

[@andraste6746]

The cookies are my favourite of the calendars.

[@mollylola76]

My cat’s name is Matilda; when you said the name of the coffee shop she perked up 😻 I just finished that Christmas candle with the fir needles in it and it’s nice!

[@patriciabroderick3441]

I actually said good morning back to you when the video started!! Lol

[@beccboot12345]

Bubbas outro was perfection! 💕🐶

[@28amandajane]

I LOVED Bubba’s outro sign off🥰❤️

[@melodybrooks9329]

As second generation, lifelong, small business owners, Christopher, thank you. ❤️ Melody & Dave Brooks

[@jenslims]

Loved the Bubbas outro 😆 I enjoyed going into the stores with you - what beautiful merchandise. Still can’t get enough of your vlogs 👏🏼👏🏼

[@heatherlanger250]

You look amazing today! A good reminder for us all to sleep an extra hour or two from time-to-time ❤️

[@deanneschermerhorn4021]

I just realized you live in the rochester area! My daughter goes to school at St John Fisher in Pittsford. We absolutely love the area...so much to do and see!!

[@marcela12126]

I love babas voice!! Love your Vlogmas Chris 😘

[@pearlslaceandgrace400]

Small businesses have such unique and beautiful offerings. So glad that you were able to get out and support ❤️

[@bridgette712]

Take care of yourself too, Bubbas! Hooray for small businesses!

[@QuinceyG]

I adore your porch decorations. So pretty. :) I need you to come decorate my place lol!

[@stacyambramorin]

You are so talented with your design! You inspire me!

[@teggirl95]

That rest did you well my friend. You needed that and seemed so relaxed and refreshed and that makes me happy!

[@Alaa.sa90s]

We need a day in Bubba’s life video 😂💗 . I can’t believe i’ve been subscribing to your channel since ( 2017 ) i appreciate you so much ❤️

[@Chickennoodlesoup4you]

Can we stop and talk about this front door color? Amazing!!!

Gorgeous porch! Where is your fruit bowl from? love it!

[@katheriner37]

The intro is just sooo happy

[@mollylola76]

I love Bubbas’ voice 🤣💗

[@mrsgloglo99]

Wow! 9am? You rarely do that! I'm sure it felt great!

[@mrsherrington]

I love how you have decorated your home! Can I ask where your bird wallpaper (or I assume it is wallpaper) next to your dining room is from?

[@christopherallen]

Spoon flower.

[@michelleyoung6722]

Love Bubbas on the closing. We are ordering dinner from local business tonight as well.

[@AnasPrettythings]

Hi 🙋‍♀️ sunshine ☀️, happy vlogmas day 12 😘 hope you are super happy 😃

[@mrsgloglo99]

Do you wear disposable or cloth masks? Any recommendations?

[@christopherallen]

I wear cloth. I have a few favorites.

[@GuyNamedZac]

This place reminds of a place called the Paris market in Savannah Georgia. The layout is similar.

[@giesellepoveromo2551]

I love Bubbas voice!

[@kelleyhasapis1]

The porch is gorgeous!

[@lelamd1996]

Love the peace sign !
