Vlogmas 2024 Day Twenty Four! THE END and Happy Christmas!

[@patmuller782]

Just getting ready for Christmas Eve here in America. Your last vlog just popped up. Have only discovered you recently and now know why I was so drawn to your channel. The compassion, empathy, grace and warmth you emit ( with lovely humor and humility)are rare in today's world. Your beautifull words at the end of your 'vlog' . So eloquent and compassionate. Thankyou!

[@frecklesforties]

Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for watching and joining in. Hope you have a lovely Christmas xx

[@garryh3206]

I agree 100% Pat.

[@jodempsey131]

Thank you Claire. Your words at the end were so heartfelt. I am exhausted preparing for two family days in a row (and a yapping little puppy driving me nuts) .. ! Nice colour nails. ❤. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻

[@frecklesforties]

Thank you! I hope you get to have a bit of rest and enjoyment yourself! Give the puppy a big cuddle xx 😘

Your vlogmas was wonderful Claire. And your little speech made me cry!! After a horrid year ( my partner walked out on me after 13 years and we had to sell our home! ) I’ve been pretty miserable with a lot of life changes! But your little chat has actually made me realise life’s to short and that it’s time to move on and appreciate everything else! Merry Christmas to you and James 🎉🎉❤

[@frecklesforties]

I am so sorry to hear about your relationship, I can totally relate to a broken heart. Look how strong you are to have come through all that! You can do this! 2025 is your year. Thanks for thr kind words. Sending a hug x Merry Christmas x

Hello! I’m a regular viewer of your KZbin channel, and I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressive your content is. It’s consistently engaging and exceptionally well-presented, with each video offering something fresh and insightful. Wishing you all the best in your continued success - keep up the fantastic work! 💙

[@frecklesforties]

Wow, thank you so much that's really kind. Merry Christmas! X

[@SakibAlHasan-cr7]

@@frecklesforties I’ve noticed that while your content is incredible, your channel doesn’t seem to be growing as fast as it deserves. Sometimes, even amazing channels face challenges with visibility on KZbin due to factors like SEO, audience targeting, or content strategy. I’d love to share some suggestions if you’re open to it! 😊

[@samanthabond9607]

I stumbled upon your channel and I am so glad I did, I have loved watching every one of your vlogmas post, I’ll be here for the next chapter 💕💕

Well, I've just had to come out of retirement for this vlog in particular Claire, but first I must say! 🎵 Hooray Hooray, more than a thousand subbies o yay you're a world of fun for everyone, now it's a Christmas holiday! O yay! (Boney M ?, well, not quite). Or how about a little tune from our very own singing sardine! Sir Cliff Pilchards! 🎵 Congratulations and celebrations! We'll tell the whole world about your thousand sub - bub - bies! Congratulations and jubilations, I want the world to knowwww, your sub - bub - bies are as happy as can be!. Just to let any new subbies know that might read this. I used to be quite regular on Claire's channel, but I've been away for 8 months, stranded on the international space station !🚀. Wasn't meant to get back on Terra Firma until February 2025, NASA charted a special flight to get me back as soon as possible, apparently, the rest of the crew couldn't put up anymore with my bad singing and jokes!😀. But seriously Claire, no one deserves it more than you to have reached a thousand plus subscribers, as other ladies on your channel have said, you should have thousands and thousands more. You're not just Fab and your not just Ace, you're also Honest about your feelings, Kind to your friends and neighbours and Caring, especially to mum and dad, so, in my book, that makes you Perfect. Now then, you've done brilliant!,managing to do all those Christmas vlogs Claire! Three gold ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ on your thumbnails?, total them all up and mould them into one on the potters wheel, a bit of gold glaze and what do you get? Superstar! It's always lovely to see your mum and dad, pleased to see that they are keeping well, and as usual, spoilt again with another pre-christmas, Christmas. Pleased you all had a lovely day. Now back to what's brought me out of retirement, I just had to put finger to tablet and write, I'm sure I will never hear on KZbin anyone say such heartfelt truthful words as you said in the last five minutes or so of this vlog, I agree 100% with you Claire. For me, this year especially, has made me realise how fast time is going by, young at heart when I joined your channel and still young at heart, just five years older! I think I'll draw this comment to a close, by the time I send this it's the early hours on Christmas day! Santa keeps popping his head through my chimney and saying, "Are you not away to bed yet"? I'd just like to wish all your subbies new and old a Merry Christmas and a Merry Christmas to you Claire, James, Mum and Dad and all your friends and family x.

[@frecklesforties]

Thank you so much for coming out of retirement to comment. Always so kind, thoughtful and such effort put into your responses. I hope you've had a very happy Christmas. Wishing you and your family well x

Well it’s a bit late to be wishing you Merry Christmas 😂 but I send you, James and family the best of wishes for 2025. Thanks for all your efforts in making vlogmas, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it despite catching up days later due to various reasons.

[@lindac3395]

Yay yay yay Claire you did it! I’ve noticed with a couple of KZbinrs I’ve been following, they run out of steam and say they will be back after the first of the year or have just disappeared without a word! Haha. I’ve been having a lovely time watching British Mystery Series and British Films. I’ve had this thing for watching stories from the UK! I think it started with reading Agatha Christie novels. Anywaaaay…..have a lovely weekend whatever it is you want to do!!!💕🇺🇸ox

[@frecklesforties]

🤣🥰 I very neatly did run out of steam! I do love a good mystery/thriller too. Have you seen the Joan Hickson Miss Marples? She was the best! X

[@lindac3395]

@@frecklesfortiesyes have watched the series several times, it’s excellent! I’m saying goodbye to Vera and all of her work colleagues starting tonight. Season 14 on Britbox last two shows then it’s no more! 😢

[@frecklesforties]

I'll have to watch them x

[@QueenKattz]

Why have you chosen to be an atheist?

[@frecklesforties]

Having studied A level Religious studies and attending Catholic and church of England schools I felt personally that religion did not speak to me. X

[@QueenKattz]

@@frecklesforties Very interesting, but, you won't find it studying it. It's something that's inside you , it's a comfort. Just because you didn't find the answer in a book that should not make you an atheist. There is only 1 book for you to read and that is a bible try one written in todays English.

[@frecklesforties]

Totally understand, I know its a feeling and it's great people have that in themselves. I also went to religious schools and my mother was a church warden. I follow I would say Buddhist principles. I don't believe in a God. Xx
