[@kristinyochum2448]

Huh ... you couldn't hear when I said "the mug's on the right side of the cabinet". Haha!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Lol I was saying it too.

[@sissyfischer4989]

Wow, I am so impressed with your children. When they were opening their gifts they both said thank you. Connor and Keira Both have such good manners. Good job mom and dad. So many kids today are unappreciative!It is so heartwarming to see children appreciate what their parents have done for them

[@shandrivesavan6443]

The kids were so sweet opening gifts! What a great job you are doing Mama. “Aww thank you!” I had tears. How lucky they are to have so much love in their home. You should be so proud!

[@deborahlewis656]

[@melyndaburdette2274]

I love Murphy honking his toy throughout the gift opening. Lol.

[@laurenmiller2410]

Merry Christmas Chapin Family!!! I love seeing kids that are excited for each gift and say thank you. It is a pet peeve of mine. Keira is turning into a beautiful girl! Both Connor and Keira are so polite and kind.

[@roycroftgirl2446]

Jen, watching your children open Christmas gifts was so heartwarming. You and your husband have done a wonderful job raising two special human beings! Happy new year to you!

[@colleenemayer]

I just bought that RBG calendar for my office! Love that your daughter was excited for it!

[@maureenh878]

That was so cute. Also the fact that the kids were unwrapping their gifts, & lo and behold here comes Murphy showing off his toy.....twice lol

[@FrugalFitMom]

Hello!! It’s like video inception!

[@kristathehungrymelon]

I'm a 26 year old woman and your daughter's Christmas looks like what I want 😂 stardew valley, a cozy beanie and some gift cards sounds hella good to me!

[@doloreskrisky7710]

Freeze the cookie dough and use it to make cookies for Valentine's day.

[@skyybennett8852]

Good idea!

[@FaithFoodandFamily]

We love Christmas Vacation too! We watch it several times each year! Those cookies turned out so good! She did an awesome job!

[@wendyomalley6433]

What a joy to watch your family on Christmas! Your kids were so appreciative of everything they got and their joy was awesome! Merry Christmas!

[@denisefonda2815]

Jen, A very Merry Christmas to you and your family. The kids clearly enjoyed opening their presents and they were so polite, remembering to say Thank You. Sometimes a more relaxed slower paced celebration is more enjoyable for everyone. At the last minute we had to postpone Christmas until New Years Day. The 40” of snow melting together with the 2” of rain overnight, flooded our backyard and our leach field, so we had no bathrooms😞. Once I quit crying😀, I realized that my sons, who are both in their 40s were fine with it. Just a typical finish for 2020. But now we have something to look forward to😀🎄. I’m just grateful that we have all stayed safe and healthy. Wishing you, Adam and the kids a blessed 2021.

[@annaloveshercats]

I love watching your kids grow up. So precious!

[@anitaashley8946]

I love seeing your family interact with each other ♥️ I loved it that you shared your time with all of us. Some of us, that are alone so much of the time, really feel like we are a part of your family and Thank You for that. You brighten my day. ♥️♥️♥️

[@jenniferdarrell7224]

Love your kids. You and Adam deserve to be proud of them as I know you are.

[@Tetrisofthesea]

Awww your kids seem so grateful. Just beautiful. 🙂

[@suemabeus4820]

Yes, Keira! Great looking cookies! Hoping for a better 2021! Thank you for sharing your family with us, Jennifer. Hope your new job is exactly what you needed. Excited about your cookbook! 💜

[@joybowles1453]

I love your very polite children. Who say Thank you. Well done mom and dad🌺🌹🌷

[@kelleysisler6158]

Looks like a very Merry Christmas to me. Kids look so happy. Loved all you vlogs Jenn. Thanks for sharing your family with us

[@jessneeley]

Good on you for letting go of all the things, it’s hard but also liberating when you no longer put that extra pressure on yourself. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@rachellehmann5044]

Christmas vacation is one of my Favorite movies

[@rachaelgiles7040]

Your children are so sweet!! I loved watching this video Jen! Thanks for sharing your recipes as well! I’m going to give that crispix recipe a try!! ❤️

[@vanessahall9247]

I'm sitting here in October 2021 enjoying Vlogmas again... can't wait for Vlogmas 2021 !!

[@TheFreezeDryQueen]

Hah. Keira, with her gift card. That was quite a face. 😍 They were so polite! My kids are getting big, and they’re so much harder to shop for. Connor was so so sweet with excitement!

[@danamama6766]

Awww Keira's cookies were amazing she should be proud! I am very proud of that accomplishment to! They looked delicious! Was wonderful sharing your Christmas morning and at Grandmas house. Thank you. Christmas Blessing to you all. Hugs and luv

[@tonyam8417]

Thankyou for sharing with us your Christmas morning. Your kids were so happy and appreciative of their gifts. Love Connor’s big smile.

[@melindaridinger3008]

Merry Christmas Chapin Family!!! The bacon wrapped lil smokies are delicious. I made them for the first time this year. They were a big hit... Our family's favorite Christmas movie is A Christmas Story.

[@mgster100]

Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family! By the way we have seven of those same Pottery Barn stockings on our fireplace also. Your son Connor has such enthusiasm and what a delight it is watching him. And how great your daughter is enjoying baking too. This was such a pared down holiday for us and I want our normal traditions back next year.

[@lelelanaee6968]

Love the kids 💕 and aww (Keira already getting teen gifts time flies )I can tell you and Adam are raising them right merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@AdrianaMartinez-mg9sc]

I just watched your vlogmas 2019 and some got cooking and baking inspiration and my family enjoyed it. I’m glad your family had a beautiful Christmas Day watching movies and enjoying your food and cookies 🍪😊!

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

Never heard of maid rite sandwiches but you can bet I’ll be making this!! Simple basic & different! My kind of recipe!

[@jackieo2403]

HI ! I make the caramel corn using Old Dutch brand puff corn(recipe on their bag) - My local brand-I'm inMN. For me I have to use a large roasting pan. Even an aluminum one works, but it is easier to stir if you have a big pan. And I find it so sweet that a few not-fully-coated pieces make for good sweet/saltly balance. Love your videos!

[@audrahcoleman0224]

I absolutely love your channel and I am cannot wait for your cookbook to come out because I am definitely buying one for sure

[@doandroidzdream]

Ty for sharing your xmas morning with us. There is something magical about watching kids recieve their gifts :)

[@cathyfeigert5660]

Keira did a great job on the cookies. And Conner was so excited with every gift. Very sweet!!

[@patriciaalldred1036]

I make caramel corn too. My recipe calls plain popped corn. Initially the caramel sauce does not cover all the popcorn, but it then bakes at 250 for an hour total, but each 15 min interval, you pull out the pan and quickly give it a stir. It’s time consuming, but turns out with everything well coated and crunchy.

[@Baknnana]

First of all, your kids are adorable! Keira and her cookies btw are perfect! We had the kids and grandkids over for a early Christmas last week. Connor reminded me of them and how excited they got when they opened their gifts. Your maid-rites look like what I grew up with as “loose meat sandwiches” . When my parents were gone, my brother and I would walk downtown(small town) to the Bungalow. They had a big pit in the middle where the meat was steamed. They served them in true form. Warm bun, mustard only with loose meat wrapped in wax paper and served in a red plastic basket 😂.

[@nancyjeancicero6407]

Hi Jen! I have been watching you since 2018...love your story and your amazing balancing skills. My kind of Gal! Happy Holidays and love your videos, shared on Facebook, feel like many can learn from you. : )

[@tiffanygreen9120]

I loved seeing how appreciative Keira and Connor were.....and Murphy💙 Happy Holidays✨

[@madebyaprilanne]

Your children are so cute ♥️ merry Christmas Chapin family!! Hope you are all blessed in 2021 ♥️

[@rosalielindley3583]

Use a paper bag for that popcorn. Pour the topping in and shake the snot out of it! Works well!

[@juliapabst7322]

In the southern part of Germany we marinate the potatoes for the salad in warm vinegar.

[@Jndz]

I need to try that potato salad. I love the trampoline...it's the best investment! I got one for my daughter ...she loves it(love it too..it burns off all her extra energy😋🤔🤫) Thank you for sharing your eve/xmas day. It's beautiful to see how everyone spent it this 2020.

[@LauraRodriguez-Peace]

Merry Christmas, Jen and family. Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with us. May the New Year bring you much love, peace and joy. ❤️🎄😊

[@jackiemaccaskill2111]

I call that kinda mix, Nuts and Bolts 🇨🇦. My dad use to make it every Christmas... Cheerios, shreddies, pretzels, cheese bites, lots of mixed nuts and peanuts... then the butter mixture of lots of butter, Worcestershire sauce, celery, onion, and garlic salts. He’s been gone almost 11 years. I make it every year now for our family. Xo 🎄🤶

[@alexisshook12]

It was nice to see how happy your kids were. Way to go Keira! My favorite cookies- super proud of her also!

[@DanaHaupt]

I'm in Michigan and I can do a LOT of the winter in just a hoodie for quick in and out of stores or whatever. Bulky coats while grocery shopping is the pits.

[@justinadalton2822]

i love your videos jen its so easy and simple to cook the things u make

[@kezzagold2507]

that's how I make my potato salad but opt out the vinegar and use spring onion yummy, happy new year, to you and your family xx

[@KatyInNH]

I have never heard of a Maid-rite, but will definately try! It is fun to see recipes from different parts of the country, I grew up in the deep south and my Mom added french dressing instead of the vinegar. She pretty much made it the same after, except she also added sweet pickle relish. I have enjoyed Vlogmas! Thank you!

[@helent3693]

Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us. Looking forward to your book coming out - I’m hoping we will be able to get it in the UK!! I really respect what you do as a working Mum and enjoy watching your content loads. Thanks Jen.

[@LynneGirl26]

It never fails, we're always out of something basic right before Christmas. This year it was potatoes for us, too. Last year it was salt. We alway discover it Christmas eve and it makes for a super fun last minute shopping trip 🤦

[@kaylai2200]

Your kids are so sweet and polite! I love that they were taking their time opening gifts, looking at each thing and saying thank you! My son was opening gifts like it was a race 😂

[@kimdanielson]

I love Maid Rites! It's been a while since I've had them; I'll definitely need that recipe! Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us; I really admire how calm you are, no matter how much you've got going on! Watching you, I feel like I'm spending time with a friend!

[@kaylumos783]

We always do a nontraditional Christmas dinner. We will make enchiladas or lasagna or sometimes even bbq.

[@luciacrosland3454]

I can’t wait to try your Crispix mix, yum! That looked great! The ingredients are now on my grocery delivery order now for tomorrow so I can make it for New Year’s Eve.

[@diannamcbride1607]

Jen, I have not made caramel corn with pre popped popcorn like you used, but when I make mine I always have the oven set to about 200 degrees and keep the popped corn in it so that it is warm when I put the caramel over it. My mother-in-law taught me to do it like that and it does work pretty well.

[@maryelizabethveloz7155]

I love her I watch her channel all the time.

[@kimbarbeaureads]

This morning was 35 degrees. Just a cotton sweater for me. In Western Washington I'm thankful when it isn't raining..

[@stacieezell3678]

It was wonderful seeing your beautiful family. Loved the vlog as I do everyday.😘❤

[@RainyJo715]

Omg’sh, I have that same yellow bowl that you put the puff popcorn in. My Grandma always used the same bowl in her kitchen when I grew up, so I have the same. Must be an Iowa thing..lol Don’t feel bad about the sugar cookies, because they’re sooo much work!! Oh mylanta, I decided to make them for both of my daughters, well for my Grandloves really, because both of my daughters work full time too, so I made almost 14 dozen this year, of the cut outs, and decorated a bunch myself too. It’s a job and a half..Lol It is a weird year! I thought wrapping presents was extremely taxing as well. Thankfully it’s over!! 😂🤣😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

My grandma gave me the yellow bowl too!

[@RainyJo715]

@@Jen-Chapin Oh wow, that’s so special. :)) I’ve never seen another one until I watched your video. We’ll definitely have to pass them on, as well. God Bless! 🙏🏼

[@annettecarolherbst]

When I did the caramel puff corn the first time I divided it out like you did. It didn’t come out great. The next time I put it on a huge roasting pan and poured stuff over all of it and baked it. It was amazing!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Ugh, Jen I think you might need potatoes if your making potato salad. Lol. I'm really going to miss Vlogmas when it's over.

[@v.beckham8200]

I love Christmas vacation 😂😂😂 i finally watched it all the way through and not on TV lol so no commercials 😅 I didn't realize it was so funny!

[@aemeeparrott3453]

your energy is amazing! ❤️

[@valerieknauber2149]

Yeah I'm first!!! Just what I need before bed.!! Hope you had an amazing Christmas. I'm so gonna miss vlogmas, and a video from you everyday!!

[@traceycosta9196]

Merry Xmas and happy new year to you and your family. Look forward to watching more videos in the new year as you always motivate and inspire me....sending much love from Australia 💕💕

[@frankysma3202]

1) I love how you and Christine (Frugal Fit Mom) promote each other. Different women supporting each other💜🙌🏻 2) You have the sweetest children💜 Connor esp seems like such a joy…and that’s no “troll” 3) What is a “made right”? I am from the NYC area (specifically a NJ bedroom community) and I have never heard of a “made right”. Do I even have the “name right”? 😂 (made myself laugh 🤪) 4)Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for your videos.💜

[@MB-dt7xk]

Beautiful happy family ❤️ Thanks for sharing!

[@mtherfnprincess]

Yay Kyra! She did a great job on those treats

[@rubypoythress2308]

I use baking sheets for the puff corn. It works.

[@danat_here2]

I use a roasting pan for caramel corn so maybe the bigger pan would work better? It all looks yummy.

[@lyndaemge3486]

Jen, the HOT MAGMA comment made me shoot my coffee out from LAUGHING SO HARD!

[@QueenNanaEva]

It looked like you and the family had a very special Christmas Day.

[@justthe2ofus850]

Hey you at least made the dough. We didnt even decorate for Christmas, i had back and neck surgery within 3 months of each other and my husband has been taking care of me. But we have no children so it was ok. You are doing awesome! God bless you and your family, just love you guys! 👋😁🙏💗

[@melissacannon4035]

Glad you and your family had a great Christmas

[@Suze147]

Adorable children!

[@AmberKloosterman]

That’s exactly how I make lil Smokies. Now I need to make some lol. I’ve made Carmel popcorn a few times and I’ve always let the Carmel saice cool and then pour it over the popcorn. Coats very well. I’ve always boiled potatoes whole with skin on for potato salad. That’s how my mom taught me how to make it. I’ve never used vinegar in potato salad. Def goin try your recipe. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@katharinesmith4633]

I like the way you make you savory mix !!!
