[@School_Belle_72]

Tyler, thank you for teaching this single mama how to fix everything in my house!!!

[@Lynsi325]

I’m pretty handy, but he is so good at breaking things down and making things seem so reasonable. It can be overwhelming taking care of a house. No one maintains all their ish like Tyler Braun! Lol.

[@nkk3997]

My thoughts exactly....single mama here too!!

[@sassiecassie]

YES!!!!!! They both are so inspiring!

[@kerichildress6257]

Same!

[@loserdorkface7]

Same new home owner. I have learned a lot from Tyler on what to do when going on vacation..which I havent yet but is helpful to know.

[@serenahickey]

tyler: NO. we will not be singing. also tyler: CANDLES IN THE WIIIIIIIIINDOWWW

[@KenzieRaee27]

This is my favorite part of vlogmas so far 😂😂😂

[@jann3443]

Please don't wait until 2035 to finish the Egypt videos! I'm 74 now and you're thumbnail might have to say, "In Memory of Jann" 🤣 The "Winter is Here" comment wasn't wasted on me, Tyler. GOT fan here. I Lovvvve Guess Who. By the way, I've used Ground Turkey in place of ground beef for 20+ years. Healthier! It doesn't take long to get used to the different taste. I never use either back burner, Jess. Happy Vlogmas 19! ❤️🎄💚🎄

[@reencampbell4481]

Jann, your comment had me cracking up!! 😂😂 Let’s cross our fingers that we get those Egypt videos before 2035 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@jann3443]

​@@reencampbell4481 I'm happy it brought you some laughs. I was cracking up while writing it too. But it was the very first thought I had when Tyler said 2035. I started doing the math 😳 🤣

[@ryenngaebler4286]

This truly made me laugh out loud! I can tell you’re someone I’d like, Jann! 😂

[@sahara3790]

We all need a Tyler to help us fix and clean everything up. He’s so helpful and takes initiative. Great role model for his daughters.

[@annabellev.2496]

Tyler’s “flimsy flappers” made me nearly spit out my tea!

[@jessielynn0215]

I hope you guys see this.. I didn’t realize how much my 8 year old pays attention to your videos when they’re on. However , we were in Walmart a few days ago and she spotted Mancala, and immediately said, “it’s that game those people play!I”🤣So I of course had to buy it because I had never heard of the game before you guys were talking about it. We absolutely love it! We have had so much fun playing it the last couple of days. ❤

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Now I want to buy it, too. Have never heard of it.

[@amyad]

Title of this vlog should have been “Flimsy flappers and an open fire” 😂

[@kaitamblo]

This comment wins 😂 I just spit out my ice cream 😂

[@amyad]

@@kaitamblo hahaha 😂

[@myrissawhisenant7382]

Underrated comment 😂😂😂

[@amyad]

@@myrissawhisenant7382 😂 thank you!

[@eileenpapa9610]

I lost both my dogs in the last two years. Watching how sweet you both are to Pinnochio warms my heart. ❤

[@laurie2682]

I’m so sorry. Big hugs

[@kristenmckinney6706]

Let’s talk toilets, everyone’s been waiting all vlogmas 😂

[@jeslovesjesus]

😂😂😂

[@annielukey1787]

Ask your neighbors if they have the same issues with their toilets - if they don’t it could be the toilet itself vs the water?

[@leahk9943]

I do sour cream first then shredded cheese. The cheese doesn’t all fall out of the taco then bc it’s stuck on the sr cream. No shred of cheese left behind.

[@cenavisch8888]

Oh my goodness, this is genius 😂😂

[@shelleysteeves5921]

Since our girls were little (now 21 & 18), we watch Polar Express on Christmas Eve. When the hot chocolate part starts, we pause it and get ours too! Also, we wear our pjs and I print train tickets and stamp them before it starts. We love this tradition! 🎄🇨🇦 Merry Christmas ❗️

[@porschenicole3215]

Who else loves Jessica's courtesy laugh towards Tyler??

[@alianazamorano641]

all i want for christmas now is tyler and jessica singing a christmas carol. i’ve heard bits and pieces of you guys over the years and man! please do! as a huge broadway/theater fan myself, i need ya’ll singing in my life

[@j..e..m]

Vlogmas this year has been a life saver. I got rear ended this weekend & the Dr has told me no work & to rest. That's hard for someone who doesn't know how to rest, lol. Watch 1 Vlogmas while I ice my neck, watch the next Vlogmas use the heating pad, has been my life the last couple days. Thanks Brauns, you're my Christmas MVP

[@cenavisch8888]

Oh no I'm so sorry that happened to you 😭❤️ are you ok?

[@j..e..m]

@cenavisch8888 awe that's so sweet, thank you for asking. I have whiplash & muscle spasms but other than that I'm alright.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Feel better soon!

[@erinnikki7203]

I love how Jessica's hand gestures turn the street lights on 😂

[@womanofacertainage5892]

OMG I didn't notice that until I read your comment. Went back to look. It's around 7:30. So funny! Isn't she a Ravenclaw? ;)

[@cararichman1729]

Tyler referring to the toilet tank as the upper decker area. 😂😂😂

[@suzannebradbury]

Ok ok ill stop asking!! 😢😢😢😢 love you guys…. I just remember a beautiful video - i feel like it was your proposal video and you sang some phantom together. Ill just look forward to book day instead. Thanks so much for noticing though - made my day xxx

[@MaileEric]

Don’t worry about not singing for us, there’s still a rogue video of Jess singing an incredible solo in show choir out there in the KZbin ether that I know I’m not the only OG fan to have stumbled upon. 😂😂😂

[@adriancirricione1877]

I never thought to search KZbin for these rogue videos, but thanks to your comment, I fell down the rabbit hole. My gosh!…what a beautiful voice she has! Some of her musical theater songs brought tears to my eyes. 💗

[@Jenn_b926]

DAY 2 OF ME ASKING TYLER: WHERE IS THE SOURDOUGH?!?!!!

[@BlingyBea]

So sweet Tyler getting Pinocchio’s bed set up for him in front of the fireplace❤

[@womanofacertainage5892]

I think you can tell a lot about someone by how they treat animals. Tyler is a very good egg.

[@Gardnertino]

Jess your Kroger hair was FIRE

[@Mara_Lane]

Hi you too!! I have enjoyed your vlogmas videos so much, I have had Covid for 2 weeks now, but on the mend😃 My brain is coming back, but the last 2 videos ago when Jessica was talking about the “ENVELOPES!” I laughed so hard, I cried!! So needed, and laughed when she was laughing!! Oh Man.. The BEST! One more important thing!!!! Tyler, my Mom, who is 89 , well I live with her because I am the only single child that can, and we love each other so much, well, the garbage disposal hasn’t worked for over 2 years…. I watched you fix yours and tried the reset and tool method! BINGO!!! Was so happy! IT NOW WORKS!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, told Mom about you guys, she doesn’t really understand what I am talking about , but I really wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the both of you and what you both bring to me!! Hugs and kisses!! Mara🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Happy Holidays to you and your mom. I hope you feel much better soon.

[@Mara_Lane]

@@womanofacertainage5892 why, Thank you so much!!! Have a beautiful Christmas!!!🎄❤️

[@annielukey1787]

Omg the amount of times I was refreshing my KZbin for this 😂

[@caitstevensbeauty9765]

Same

[@deannastar4861]

I absolutely love how much you two laugh together. It’s endearing and heartwarming and lovely. TFS! 💜

[@EP-hm5ue]

I’m Mexican and use tortillas past the expiration date all the time.

[@champagenroses]

Thank you Tyler for sharing how to replace the flapper on the toilet - my issue with mine is... the water isn't filling up into the tank 😏 I think Tyler should have a series DIY home improvements for the ladies of the house, Lol

[@ayoangelc]

I was patiently waiting for “candles in the wiiiiindow” 🤣 every year it cracks me up.

[@ladybird242]

I really felt it when you were talking about singing. I played violin from 7-25 years old. I was Principal Second violon in a (not well known) Symphony Orchestra and made money by playing. I'm now 40. I rarely play and when I do it's me, myself, and I in my house. It is insane the number of people who want me to play for them when they find out about this part of my past. Or consistently ask when I'm going to join the community orchestra etc.

[@Christian-is-thriving]

Backgammon is so fun and super easy to learn. It is definitely something you can play while watching TV unless you are very competitive like the Aunt that taught me to play.

[@imscanon]

Tyler: check to make sure it's not warm or hot water going into the toilet which can degrade the flapper prematurely.

[@heatherkruger]

Jess! Your hair is GORGEOUS today when you went to the grocery store! 😍❤

[@amycooper639]

Just a suggestion. But go buy a large silver jingle bell, tie some red ribbon on it and leave it by the fireplace Christmas morning. Then when she rings it. Pretend you cannot hear it! We did this for my son, years ago and he LOVED it! He told everyone that year that Santa lost a jingle bell at our house!

[@avamarie9541]

I love Pinocchio footage so much 🥰

[@AbilityToBeAwesome]

So we have aging cats and I literally filmed our cats today after bath time cause my husband was so emotional that he worried the cat will die and that will be the last time he gives him a bath. My point is the whole channel will grief that amazing good boy someday. I keep hoping they get another dog to meet Pinocchio to have a friend.

[@marylove909]

I love how much gratification Tyler gets from cleaning and fixing y'all's home!

[@MB-km5hh]

Highly recommend ground chicken- so much better than ground turkey in my opinion! Happy Holidays Brauns!

[@EMILYHERRERA]

I agree; it tastes so much better to me!

[@nicoledevine85]

I’m sick, so I’ve been binging last years vlogmas all day waiting for this one 😂

[@jenniferdubay3769]

6:44 I love to mix crown Royal in my eggnog. Thins it out just a bit and it's seriously delicious!!!!

[@sara31773]

7:19 that’s why I order my groceries for delivery. I only get what I intended to buy.

[@cindytroxler2838]

Thank you, Tyler. I couldn't think of what to get my husband for 🎄 Christmas, and then you wore that 3 chord shirt that spelled D A D. I bought it for him because he plays guitar among some other instruments. He's also a dad. Yay, he's gonna love it.

[@nicoletinsley7354]

I never use my rear left burner! I usually stay to the right side of the stove even though I'm left-handed, beautiful snow falling!!

[@zsuzsannabraun4946]

The crooked wedding photo above Jessica's head in the background keeps driving me crazy every day 🤣🙈

[@jeriness]

The "winter is coming" moment leaned a little Inigo Montoya.

[@teacheraprilrogers]

I always put the sour cream on first. Doesn't matter if it is a corn or flour tortilla or a corn shell. Sour cream first. My 19 year old son also forgets everything. I have had the same toilet issue in the Giuseppe that I oddly have lived infor 7 years as well. I also have had to replace another part twice and it drives me crazy. I have never turned the water off when I changed mine.

[@ktay4042]

I only use the two back burners. I have greyhounds. Tall doggos. And I never use the front left...except for holidays when making a big meal...and it always stinks at first because it is never used. LOL

[@smurfmonster]

What wait! Is that amazing kids play structure and slide in your garden? How have I never seen that before ?!?!

[@cbcora]

I just seen the title & had to share - I live in Atlantic Canada, this week started/currently with 55 degree weather with rain warnings (6+ inches)… the forecast for the last few days of the week, leading into Christmas: 14 degrees & blizzard warnings. I’m not sure what color Christmas we will be having!!!

[@carolinewatts1985]

Backgammon is amazing!!!! You both will love it!!

[@lorid1348]

Yay...Chris Van Allsburg....a fellow Michigander from Grand Rapids!

[@ChristineChantal]

This Canadian is super jealous that you’re just winterizing right now!!!

[@sarah_not_perfect_life]

This Quebec girl is already tired of winter .. and it's not even winter yet ah ah 🫣❄️❄️❄️

[@myrissawhisenant7382]

So excited for jammy awards ❤

[@TinaC982]

I’m just here for Pinocchio ❤️❤️🐶🐶❤️❤️ just kidding, love you all 😂

[@bigben2021]

The 2 best things to buy in bulk: beans and toilet flappers.

[@tarapedroza]

Honestly if you have hard water, its part of life!😅

[@katie7381]

Day 19 and apparently Jessica doesn’t love us anymore 😂

[@itsjessicabraun]

Hahaha YES I DO!!!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

That's what I said! 🤣🤣Tyler has been too great an influence on her. 😅

[@ultrasoundangie6786]

The hubs is a plumber. He says your water is highly chlorinated and that is what eating the toilet flapper.

[@lv2flip24]

i never (rarely) use the back left burner. u can tell too cause its the cleanest. i use front right the most and the back right.

[@robicog1864]

Your girls need to have videos/audio of their mom and dad’s voice. Sing for your girls. Christmas carols are perfect! Create some precious memories for your girls. It’s so important. I would be so happy to have a recording of my parents singing. Sing for your girls.

[@stefh9248]

Tyler, get your water tested. If you find you need a whole home water filter system, Aquasana is what we use and we love it.

[@jocbaker]

The back burner is for the teapot

[@Chelbsn]

Ohhhh... I need to relearn how to play backgammon and cribbage!!! I used to love playing both of those games

[@laurajoli576]

I watch every single time YT suggests the video of Jessica singing "There are No Orphans" So beautiful 😍

[@Andrea.reeddd]

So! I have to share I started binging vlogmas on December 16th from day 1 and I’m now up to date 😂 your family brings me so many laughs and joy! Love you! ❤

[@sarahcoghlin6198]

Give the people what they want! Christmas Carol, Christmas Carol, Christmas Carol! Only asking because I have no doubt you both are WILDLY talented.

[@JP-zp4wr]

Are you or Jessica putting toilet bowl cleaner pucks in the tank? Those pucks will destroy the flapper

[@amanda_dion]

I think he mentioned they stopped doing that already and the flaps are still flappy lol if it’s the same thing as bleach tabs

[@JP-zp4wr]

@@amanda_dion hi, yes you are right! I paused the video to comment and then saw him say he stopped using those afterwards. I was using those pucks years ago and my toilet kept running/leaking and my plumber told me they are bad for your toilet.

[@katodan0611]

We have one toilet that always needs a flapper replaced. All 4 toilets in the house have the same brand toilet but it’s only the toilet in my daughter’s room. It’s a flapping mystery. 🤣🤣

[@micheleberg4670]

Ok...now that you bring it up o also think you guys should sing a Christmas carol!!! 😊

[@Toshunda]

I look forward every year to the books I’ve read, Tyler cutting board (bread baking), board games suggestions, and the cleaning stuff. But the best part is seeing y’all interact with each other

[@rosebud7233]

I’m getting excited for the book recap video!

[@courtneybaeyen]

My mom also switched us to ground turkey when I was in high school. A lot of times, I will pick it up over ground beef because it's cheaper, and I try to limit red meat.

[@jordanfeuerstacke3137]

Y’all need to play the game Villainous! Being the Disney fans that you are, you will love it! So much fun! 😊

[@monicawv6949]

Omg I need to replace the flapper in my WC 🚽 and haven’t done it because I didn’t know how! Big thanks 😂

Flimsy flappers…lol ..sounds too funny 😂🎉❤😮

you can use the leftover tortillas for breakfast tacos! yummy

[@micheleklinger516]

I would love & appreciate a top game list. My family plays the same 10 games. I want to get some new ones, but there are so many to choose from.

[@k8m549]

Jess I still have the original Guess Who and have been playing it with my niece for years!

[@MeaHolmes]

Yall. I totally get the singing thing. Used to be a musical theater kid and sang aaaalll the time. But once you fall out of practice it just feels so weird to sing for others. The only thing I can surmise is that it's the expectation that it will be spot on and wonderful since you once used to do it so well and the idea of disappointing/knowing you won't be spot on after years of no practice gives the weirdest feeling ever. Maybe that's just me but could explain your feelings toward it as well 🤷‍♀️

[@mistipassarello5350]

Flimsy Flappers 😂. Tyler, I feel like if you can't figure out the Flimsy Flappers problem, no one can!

[@karincope3019]

Our hard water eats our toilet innard parts as well and makes our tanks black inside .

[@ashleys4652]

But we would all love to hear you sing!😂 I wish I had that gift.

[@heatherl3934]

Does your municipality use a lot of chlorine in the water? That could deteriorate the flappers. If you are so-so on refried beans, try making your own from canned pinto beans. I use Cookie & Kate’s recipe. And I might have eaten the tortillas if there was no mold, but they might have been dry & difficult to fold. I might not feed them to the kids though, and I agree on not taking chances where you are busy.

[@angelac.536]

😂 even though I would love to hear you both sing, I totally understand! My husband and I just were watching this vlogmas and he said he would sing on your behalf!! lol (he’s not a singer)… and he belted out Elf at the top of his lungs- “im in a store and I’m singing!!!” Haha I’m dying laughing. Also, Tyler I know you have shown in another video in past but can you do a video on how you sanitize and clean cutting board??

[@heatherkruger]

The intro took me totally by surprise 😂

[@lindsaylemon2677]

Polar Express book is now I “found out” our teacher read it in 4th grade. My four year old and I watched it last night and it’s kinda creepy! But good at the same time! 😂

[@Amanda-ox7mc]

I've mentioned I'm up in Carmel, IN from TN and I'm working at the hospital, I was SOOO excited to see it snow yesterday. It didn't last long but it was still pretty. As far as games, I can't remember the name but one of the surgeons I work with was talking about a card game yall play here in Indiana that I have never even heard of.

[@nataliehendrickse5280]

The title to the video "Im dreaming if a WHITE 19th day of vlogmas" haha I get the joke but at first glance I was like what LOL but you guys are quintessentially white and I love y'all!

[@yoreliseday5392]

A lot of your subscribers provided great advice to your toilet flapper problem. My husband has installed many toilets in new homes and has a few questions for you Tyler. Did you test your water before deciding to add softeners? Does your water softener have salt chemicals in it? Any testing done after adding softeners? My husband noticed in the video the cloudy water in tank and erosion on the handle indicatiing salt or other chemicals possibly still water or softener etc. He says some softeners can help but if the water is not fully tested for everything it could be making things worse. This erosion can also cause a problem to the water pipes as well if not caught early. Test your water again, ask your neighbors and if possible install a reverse osmosis water system. It is amazing. Hope it helps. Thanks for sharing another funny video. 😆💕

[@NatalieYTFoster]

One of the best things you ever influenced me to buy was the meat breaker upper thing.

[@Shelby5683]

Sequence is an amazing game!!!

[@taylorschmidtsmith6091]

The hot chocolate scene is so cute….then the ending with Steven Tyler. What’s not to love? Lol

[@notagardenexpert3827]

I would get a water panel done. Are you on city water or sewer? Most city water will put detergent (chlorine) in their water supply. This becomes a problem if you have a dead spot in the line and the water sits - chlorine reacts with lead, this is what happened in flint Michigan. Could also be something else getting into the water supply, like pFas. Not sure how that might react with the rubber but it is a forever chemical and it is everywhere.

[@idalicaraballo1114]

Dollar store has a meat chopper for $1.25 and it’s awesome

You are not alone. My husband has replaced all 5 toilet flappers, probably within a 4 year time span. We’ve been in our new build home 7 years. It’s MADNESS

[@gdeannecampbell1067]

By the way, when cooking with ground Turkey, add a little bit of beef stock, turn the heat down, put the lid on when you aren’t moving it around as it cooks. Enhances the taste of the meat by giving a beefier flavor…😉👍
