[@himynameisadrianrhea]

Dad 😂🖤 D chord, A chord, D chord. Shout out to my dad for forcing me to learn guitar as a kid for me to know that 😂

[@somewherenorth4092]

Thanks. 🤣 I knew they were chords, but not what chords.

[@bibi1949]

Shirt says DAD. 🎸 🎸 🎸 😁

[@tinatalks6718]

I’m SO glad you answered this. I had no idea😂

[@EMILYHERRERA]

These are the types of KZbin comments I've come to rely on.

[@annielukey1787]

lol I thought this might be a keyboard and then I was confused by the off placement with the circles 😅😂

[@reencampbell4481]

Jessica saying she isn’t that competitive or doesn’t try made me giggle bc I immediately recalled her telling us that she secretly practiced the whipped cream game in the bathroom the other day at the party 😂😂😂😂 gosh i love her! I’m the same way… in it to win it, baby!

[@myrissawhisenant7382]

THIS 😂😂😂 same

[@hizzchek]

You can buy the "stones" for mancala in any craft section. They're used for decor, like filling vases.

[@kholloway5271]

Even Dollar Tree!

[@angelaw886]

My dog was watching Pinocchio, and he ran toward the screen lol 😂

[@modernvettech]

The late night talks where y’all go down rabbit holes is the BEST part

[@TinaC982]

I paused the video where we could see Tyler’s shirt and asked my teenage son if he could figure it out, he got it instantly! He’s also very musical so it was a breeze for him :) Thanks to Pinocchio for the zoomies! He’s so cute! ❤❤🐶🐶❤️❤️

[@daniellereid01]

Yep! It spells Dad. Former music teacher here and there’s no fooling us 😂

[@kelleydenise7819]

The way you two laugh at the silliest stuff, so hard that it goes silent is hilarious and reminds me of me and my guy. I love it so much 😂

[@dcnunez100]

0:57 Yes, I'm with you! We need to be our own cheerleader!!! Go Jessie Go!!! ❤️🙌❤️

[@PrincessChild22]

Delirious 11pm chats are the best 😂 I love how it ended with milk grades

[@Celynasaaur]

The Sol de Janeiro number 68 was the perfume I work when I met my long distance boyfriend for the first time after knowing each other for over 16 years 🥰 I will always cherish that scent and it always reminds me of that special time!

[@TaylahMadeComingSoon]

Love the jumper!!!! It says dad in guitar chords 😍😍😍😍 too stinking cute, man!

[@samanthawhiteman1622]

There should officially be the 12 games of Christmas!

[@jeslovesjesus]

Yes!!!

[@thewadsquad]

The T-shirt had me baffled. Makes sense because I don’t play the guitar!! Hah!

[@user-nh8ld5rp2w]

Might I suggest the Filipino version of Mancala (called Sungka) that uses cowrie shells. You can really get flying with that set!

[@Pamela-B]

Being able to laugh with and at each other is the glue that keeps a couple together. Seriously! My husband and I have been together 25 years and still laughing hysterically. It’s the best!

[@pattiboudreaux8720]

I love Jessica’s laugh 😂!

[@snuffelbuf]

That cutting board is amazing. Nice neighbours

[@ilovesunsets]

Omg this is pumpkins all over again 😂

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

Oh no… I haven’t gotten that far in the vlog but if this is like the tiny plastic pumpkin fiasco I’m excited 😂

[@Bunnykims]

In the UK Santa is a bit more hardcore, he gets a mince pie and either Whisky, Brandy, Sherry or Port! 🎅🏼🥃🍷🥧🥴

[@beckyb1576]

When my kids loose the mancala beads I buy more at Dollar tree. They have a bunch of beads that are perfect for that game. Even teachers love them for replacement pieces 😜

[@heatherkruger]

Tyler and the bouncing chair has me DYINGGGG. "Now I gotta back out l" 😂😂😂😂

[@rlord7053]

The cutting board is so sweet and the girls will have wonderful memories of it....I don't know why I'm tearing up 😭😄

[@jenk6475]

lol! DAD in guitar chords, but added bonus are the two “hidden mickeys.” Also you may want to check your glue works on glass because not all super glues do.

[@erintaylorwrites]

Disney had to be lying about the phone and the post office. USPS got a package from Florida to California in two days. Mailed out on Saturday and arrived on a Monday. It probably sat in a bin for a week waiting to go out with other packages. That sucks and bless you for going that long without a phone!

[@francescaagogo]

Omg I was hollering when the conversation went from “The Office,” to the “more funny/funnier” debate to the chairs…. and yes, the jewels for Mancala look like M&Ms. Can’t unsee it now! 😂😂😂

[@cathyphamhernandez]

Oh, mancala! A 9 year old I nannied taught me how to play that game back in 2013. Also, I just finished making corn chowder for the first time because my pregnant self was craving it and it turned out SO good. Y’all have inspired me to cook so much more. I’ve always been intimidated by it, but y’all have really shown me how easy peasy it can be. I’m enjoying a heaping bowl of it in this “cold” 60 degree weather in TX. 😂

[@themusingmama7307]

You opened the Mancala board and I literally said “Ew!” at the sight of the M&Ms. 🤣

[@kimshine4011]

I love the number 68 body spray. I bought it for myself for my birthday in June. I think it's a good year round scent.

[@InquisitiveOwl365]

I have to say- my favorite part of the videos is the end recap conversations. The new chairs for meetings where I work are just like those-def question that choice of chairs.

[@hannasain709]

Tyler’s shirt is guitar chords, dad. I used Mancala as a teacher, especially in 5th grade. You can buy replacement beads. Great game. Love seeing you two have so much fun together.p!

[@user-tz6hr2ow6i]

It says dad in guitar chords! 😊

[@The.Violet.1]

I know nothing about notes in music because I my country we didn't learn about it! Yet that is so sweet & cute ❤

[@yofalyssa]

those marbles actually made me laugh out loud!!!

[@jenapemberton]

Please don't filter your Office quotes. 😂 Huge fan here of The Office. I love the Superfan episodes. Plus, I'm listening to The Office Ladies podcast and they revisit and touch on those Superfan episodes a lot. Anyways, love you guys and thank you for all that you do! 💕😊

[@TabithaCarnes]

Came to recommend the Office Ladies podcast too!

[@ingriddynowski9630]

So random, but the pink Nantucket sweatshirt jess is wearing at the end is HER COLOR!!!

[@aileenbell6750]

DAD!! Throwback to childhood guitar lessons. 😝 What a very cool shirt for a musical dude. ❤

[@macydean4273]

Graeters!! Oh man- I grew up a Cincinnati native and this is my first Christmas away from that neck of the woods. I always so appreciate getting to see a little bit of home thanks to you guys ❤️ You gotta try one of their soda floats made with black raspberry chip ice cream AND black raspberry syrup.. too good (and free soda/syrup refills) Been following since before Gigi and this house, and I’m very thankful to be along for the ride 😘 Here’s to another Vlogmas!

[@lovelife4045]

It’s actually not good to not wake up hungry in the morning. It could mean that your cortisol levels are too high.

[@amyr4944]

You do pronounce the J in Janeiro. Just like Rio de Janeiro. And I love the 68. It’s so dang good. But it only lasts like 15 minutes. But the body wash and moisturizer are heavenly 💕

[@elaina__c]

This shirt rocks! These are the first two chords I learned on guitar, and I love both clever shirts and Dad jokes!! So to answer your question, it says Dad in guitar chords. Rock on, Mr. Braun 🎸

[@rachelweinblatt9264]

My husband and I play Backgammon many nights a week. It’s one that we can play without too much concentration. We also play cards. We love Phase 10 which I discovered from your suggestion. We are newly empty nesters and now that our kids are home for their break, we will break out all the board games. Pictionary, Taboo, Scattergories, Rummykub,etc.❤

[@erintrolley3074]

hahahah the dad sweater thats awesome, reminds me of the meme where it's like " do you want to be my ______" and is a pic of someone doing a G and an F lollll

[@Zer0rchestra]

It's guitar tablature for the D chord, A chord, and D chord-spelling DAD. Super clever shirt.

[@indahurtado8257]

Tired Jess and Tyler are hilarious and so relatable 😂

[@melodypearson1680]

The 11th hour makes the whole vlog!! 😂😂 y’all had me laughing the entire time. I remember how it was with little kids and work at the end of the day you are exhausted that you can’t even get words out correctly. Love yall. Keep up the good work.

[@courtneythompson8700]

Why did Tyler jumping with the chair remind me of the Pixar lamp? 🤣🤣🤣

[@chiknlittle]

I quote Friends & Schitts Creek like you guys quote the office. Especially Friends, 10 seasons baby, I could reference it in dang near every conversation!

[@crystalflores22]

You know what your late night chats just reminded me of, that one show “Whose Line is it Anyway” I remember watching that super late and I was like in middle school high school. I love the chats to end off the vlog.

[@JacFash]

Played what you guys call Mancala as a kid in the 80's growing up in SoCal. We called it Marbles, the "board" was much bigger and the wells for the marbles were much deeper. We loved it and everyone cheated, Lol!!!

[@karlidomingo]

They’re guitar chords. DAD. That’s adorable.

[@jennifershank5622]

I miss when y'all used to 🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎤in your Vlogmas/Vlogs ❤😊...the chair scene...😂😂😂😂😂...I literally cried laughing!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@rachaelsandeen]

Fellow guitar player here… Love the “DAD” sweatshirt. 😂😂😂

[@geasty8862]

I’m from Cincinnati and live in DC, on the east coast you can find pints of Greaters at Harris Teeter. I’m so nostalgic see this 🥰 best after school snack ever!

[@Chantal_4107]

I really enjoyed the clip of you playing with your dog together ❤️ it can be difficult to give our fur babies the same attention we used to before having children.

[@raquelprice4886]

I literally sang out "it's a mancala world in the winter" and then chuckled.

[@ashleytunny]

What a sweet gift from your neighbors. I love the basement chats ❤😂 it’s all a good time!

[@simerchoudhary7547]

love vlogmas! already counting down to next year

[@MyHalB]

Oh man! I grew up in Ohio and now live in TN- I miss Graeters! SO good and the way they add chocolate to their ice cream takes it up several notches! Black raspberry chip!

[@lucygribbet9277]

I've just binged The Office and I'm a few episodes from finishing S9. I don't want it to end but I'm buzzed to rewatch it 😄

[@cenavisch8888]

I was thinking guitar cords at the end, but best I could think of was GAG? DAD makes a lot more sense, LOL!! Very cute.

[@emilygillies2751]

DAD in guitar speak hahaha. Also, I catch every single Office quote or even twists on Office quotes 🤣

[@twinninglife3397]

I am watching this vlog at 4am , and I am laughing so hard I start crying in my living room, when Tyler is trying to scoot his chair on the carpet 😂 . Just the look on his face!! Ahhhhj. I woke up the whole house. Because I'm crying, everyone thinks something is wrong! 😂😂

[@fourliltadpoles]

Watching around the same time loling!

[@twinninglife3397]

@@fourliltadpoles so I'm not a crazy person? 😂 Thank you

[@jillymac0613]

You should be able to hook up to WiFi and save what you need to the cloud, no? I’m sure you have pics and stuff from Disney you want. Enjoying Vlogmas this year! ❤

[@muchelleeaton6131]

Ooohh Graeter's yummy. I live in the Cincinnati area and I'm telling you nothing beats that ice cream. My favorite is the mocha chocolate chunk. As coffee lovers, you both HAVE to try that one. If I get a pint of it, it's always sooo hard to not finish it off in one sitting. The coffee flavor isn't really strong, but it's there. It's just so good 😊. Loving vlogmas this year, and I have found tiny Tyler every time lol.

[@bri-aunnarau8303]

Tyler's shirt: I didn't know but I asked my guitar playing husband and he got it immediately lol

[@vanessiek]

I grew up playing mandala at the boys and girls club 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼 The sweater looks like connect four, but that’s all I have 😌

[@cathymoore6321]

Tyler's shirt says dad. Guitar strings. Clever!

[@melslatt]

More Office quotes!! I have a handful that I use frequently, and I love hearing the quotes that have stuck with other people that are different from my usuals!

[@meredithamelung6155]

Music teacher here! Your shirt says “DAD” in guitar chords. Love it!

[@karenpaterson4559]

Tyler’ shirt spells out Dad with guitar chords. I know because I got one for my husband a few years ago. Super cool 😎.

[@CelisticMarion]

GUYS GUYS GUYS! LISTEN! Because I think you'll love it. My sister and I do this thing whenever we have a ton of different leftover dinners or lunges or stuff in the fridge that we need to use up (especially good if you are staying in an Airbnb and you have a ton of groceries to use up before you leave) We call it dinnercuterie, and It's where you take a little bit of everything warm it up and put it on a platter, large plate or cutting board and eat it like a charcuterie board! but it's leftovers so it's dinnercuterie 😂

[@karamerrill4326]

I immediately knew they were guitar chords but I had to look up what chords. 😀 🎸

[@thibiggestcow]

It's D A D. My wife and I just had a discussion on it. Had to really think about those chords. Looks nice.

[@katiebugkm]

I was one of the kids and my mom too. Food in the morning was the worst and sometimes if I smelt or saw food too early I'd get physically sick.

[@TheEveVavilis155]

I love yearly reflections videos! I'm getting married 12/30 so the new year is really going to be a new start for me! We do already live together and have a dog, but we need to brainstorm some goals for 2024 :)

[@Beth13579]

The best wedding date! We have been married 7 years this year on 12/30! It’s such a fun time to celebrate an anniversary 😄 and congratulations!!!

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

Congrats!!! That’s so exciting!!

[@tammeyvioleta3427]

Congratulations!!!

[@heatherkruger]

The rogue toothbrush is REAL 😂😂 My 2yr old wanders off with hers ALL the time. We have found it in the strangest places!

[@brookeniswander9604]

My Ohioan heart is so happy that you went to Graeter’s!! Midnight snack is my favvvoorrritteee next to their mint chip. Their chocolate chunks are unmatched

[@jelibeanncoffee2577]

Me too! Body spray is awesome ❤

[@lexiehooper3314]

it took me most of the video, but I did finally GET the sweatshirt!! love it Tyler!!

[@melidamaldonado3636]

I wait for the vlogmas everyday ❤

[@elizabethkiesewetter4630]

Your sweatshirt says DAD in chords!!!!😁

[@Sk8rToon]

Glad you got your phone! I ended up getting a different set of sunglasses from Disney

[@Alexandria_S1222]

I used to play mancalla with therapy clients and those are the strangest gems I've ever seen

[@Sarahlucyxoxo]

The best Greaters flavor …. Hands down…. Black raspberry chocolate chip 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@aliciawilson5887]

Our pup Moose really wanted to play fetch with Pinocchio. He tried to follow the ball off screen and then started howling.

[@annadavis1199]

Water wow pen to seal envelopes! 🙌🏻

[@shannon7206]

I'm getting stressed out cuz vlogmas is almost half over and I look forward to this all year long, cuz ur my fav yter, and my fav vlogger. So it's stressing me out that I only have 1/2 to go.

[@FHG2088]

I’ve never seen that sweatshirt before! It’s brilliant 😂 music degree coming in clutch haha

[@SJ4Youtube]

Yeah...shirt days Dad in guitar chart. Is it me? I have laughed the most on these vlogs! 😆 🤣

[@PiMGiRL107]

Those are guitar chords, and it spells Dad. I'm inspired to find one for my hubby, lol!

[@cristinagarza1068]

Okay.. those pieces are a perfect example of “expectation vs. reality” 😂😂😂

[@Susan-Thomas]

First comment second day in a row!!!! Going to watch this quick before my school’s Christmas program. Vlogmas is the highlight of the month!!!!!❤️❤️

[@lindsaylemon2677]

I live in Cincinnati, so obviously I have a Graeter’s right down the street! I loved the buttered popcorn flavor they had this summer!!

[@kerensaraid]

Tyler's sweater is about guitar string notes

[@jann3443]

I love SDJ #68. It's my #1 favorite scent. I have never heard of Mancala. Your neighbors are wonderful. I love the cutting board. I thought your shirt had Bingo cards on it but the pieces aren't right. So, I have no idea what it means. What a fun treat to go for ice cream after picking up the girls. Its the 11th hour, Guys! Happy Vlogmas Day 13 🎄

[@angelac.536]

Love your DAD shirt Tyler!! I used to play guitar so got it :) sweet shirt! Also we love games but have never played mandala you both might convince us to learn!

[@MomPita]

lol.. so i totally thought Tyler's sweater was a bingo thing.. lol.. But maybe its bc I have math bingo stuck in my head.. we've been playing with the kids at school, in our LC room. 🤣🤣

[@dianabumblebottom4598]

Seeing Graeters makes this Cincinnati girl's heart happy!

[@jenniferfulton4505]

I'm so excited you featured Graeter's ice cream! I'm from Cincinnati where it started, and this is a staple treat! Their strawberry ice cream is the best strawberry ever! But I also highly recommend the seasonal flavors of any kind... although Key Lime Pie in the summer and Peppermint at Christmas are the best in my opinion!

[@Kyriaki_Ltr]

the unscoochable chair dance had me rolling 😂😂 thank you so much for doing Vlogmas ❤❤
