Vlogmas Day 4 | Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town

[@susanferris]

Tyler’s mom looked especially beautiful in this vlog. Just wanted to point that out!

[@RJok-v1t]

Came here to say this! (She’s always been very pretty) but this year she is glowing!!

[@emilycrabtree2012]

I was going to say the same exact thing. Tyler's Mom is looking fabulous. Please send the compliments her way from the vlog squad!

[@kaylabrackin4042]

I was thinking this too!

[@thesarmar7]

G Mama Braun looking FABULOUS!!!!!!! 😊😊

[@kristiturner1102]

Came here to say just this. I’ve had the flu and have been watching past vlogmas videos. I came back across this one and my first thought was, “Blue Nana looks fantastic and 10 years younger in this video.”

[@blairet5985]

I think my favorite part of vlogmas is when you guys sit down at the end of the night and just talk and joke around.

[@Mrs_Solis]

Same ❤

[@indygrrl]

Me too! It's like the consistent vlogmas tradition/schtick that they give us, and it's so comforting.

[@modernvettech]

It’s always the best

[@ceceliacannarozzi869]

Me too!

[@claudiavictorino13]

SAME

[@ayoangelc]

All we want for Christmas is for Tyler to tell us that he loves us 🤣🥺

[@indygrrl]

I was thinking something similar at the beginning of Vlogmas 2023!

[@gullepuppsing]

Hahahah, nooo. We can't bully him into it 😂😭

[@ayoangelc]

@@gullepuppsing Jess loves us, but Tyler does not 🤣 maybe he will grow to love us in time.

[@dmhumphrey1965]

Was no one else slightly disturbed to see them driving off with an empty baby seat? Where’s GiGi? 😂😂😂

[@itsjessicabraun]

Hahaha She rode with Nana back to our house! :)

[@tabithak5943]

Yes!!! I left the same comment and had to convince myself she was with blue nana

[@tabithak5943]

Seeing y’all in the car after Santa with an empty car seat I had to tell myself that yall did NOT forget Gigi but that maybe she’s with blue nana 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Runda007]

We've had a Christmas village for years, my husband has some buildings from his childhood. We have collected a few new things over the years to grow the village. We named it Tiny Town, and then started to add trees, benches, fake snow and townspeople. Then things got out of hand where we had a mayoral race, a coup with picketers (including small signs I had them hold with tiny text phrases) and created a town newspaper where we would write articles about town scandals. It became both ridiculous and hilarious, so highly encourage you to build your own Braunville 😂

[@susanferris]

What a hoot. A mayoral race. I love it!

[@Runda007]

@susanferris it was so fun! We even had a side race for Comptroller 😂

[@cenavisch8888]

Ohkay this is AMAZING 🤩🤩😂😂😂❤❤

[@elainerose8799]

You must work in politics to have a Comptroller race 😂

[@Runda007]

Haha! You would think so but no actually. Where we live (outside the US) we don’t have those at all, but hear about those from the US tv stations we get and think it’s obscure, which just makes Tiny Town even more funny 😄

[@jann3443]

The idea you wore a green sweater and Tyler wore a red one was not wasted on me! Blue Nana was all Christmasy too ❤💚 Such a Sweet Santa visit for you all. I THINK I found Tiny Tyler. I dont know if my thumbnail screen shot is blurry or my phone isn't as clear as it should be. Or..heck, Jann, it could be your "old" eyes! 👀 (🤣) I think this title was Queen Jess's! 👑 Tyler, do you have those Europe videos finished? 😉

[@michellelisette750]

lol I was also like " I *think* that's Tyler" and was trying to figure out how to enlarge the thumbnail 😂

[@KimBarboo]

I built up my Christmas village from thrift stores. I love it so much. It has a Chinese food restaurant. And because all of it was so inexpensive, my daughter was allowed to actually play with it, which is now one of her favorite Christmas time memories. She's 12 now and begging me to set it up!

[@hopegeary3318]

My grandmother has the most amazing Christmas village that she has been adding to for over 40 years.... the first piece was a church she painted at a ceramics class and now she has over 50 buildings (not pieces, BUILDINGS) and it takes her weeks to put it up on custom built tiered shelves that my grandfather built her to fit it into their big living room window. Every part of it has a story.... from the lighthouse that reminds them of trips to Maine to a grove of maple trees and a maple syrup cart with pails of sap like my grandfather does since retirement. It brings our family such joy every year. ❤🎄☃️

[@slaterjl]

Growing up, we collected the Department 56 Dicken’s Village. We would get my dad a new building every year. He even built a white wooden platform, painted streets on it, and drilled holes for the cords so it looked just like a little town. He’s since passed away, but I’m so grateful that I now own the collection because it makes me think of him! ❤ loving the vlogs!

[@AlaineUnderhill]

You really went to see Santa in green and red sweaters LOL! Peak Mom and Dad style. Love it.

[@careknitssocks]

Blue Nana makes my heart so happy!! ❤ Also, I just realized how much I've missed the end of the night "close out" of the days vlog. Just love y'all!

[@candacealina8280]

We started our Christmas Village when my son was a baby. We got a new piece every year. He is now 22 yo and will still help his momma set it up. It's very special. Keep the tradition with your girls. It's definitely fun and worth it!🎄💕

[@tinahmarie]

I was catching up on Vlogmas at work today and I *cackled* when you got to the "I love you guys - do you, Tyler? ...Maybe..." So thanks for that. 🤣

[@saraduran7463]

Absolutely love seeing “blue nana!” If she had ever had a daughter wow she would be stunning! That lady is gorgeous and such an infectious smile! Sweet lady ❤

[@RJok-v1t]

I miss the morning coffee pour and Jessica showing us what cup she picked.

[@mary-carolebaker5235]

Blue Nana looks so pretty today. Well, always pretty but more sparkly and beautiful than normal. That red is definitely her colour.

[@leahbearshop]

I grew up with a Christmas village too. It was one of my favorite and most memorable things growing up and now I do the same with my daughter. I kept some of the ones from my childhood and now every year I buy a new one with my daughter and add to it ❤

[@mauranoonan8951]

I’m with Tyler on meaningful conversations.

[@emilydumont2869]

Love Blue Nana’s blue glasses and her festive jewelry :)

[@Cindy6111]

OK, anybody else remember the countdown clock from Tyler doing the downstairs bathroom remodel. And subsequent count ... up (?) clock after the date came and went? Who else wants to lobby for one of those babies attached the 2023 Vlogmas vids showing days remaining for England videos upload? And then a count up clock come January. That way we can tease him come next Christmas - and have an official number of days counter! Like, is it really Christmas if Tyler hasn't broken out the carpet cleaner? Christmas traditions. : ) I hope you know this is all in good fun, Tyler. But it would be funny.

[@jenapemberton]

Love your Christmas village idea! My grandma had a really nice, big daddy Christmas village that she let my sister and cousins all pick 4 pieces each to put up in our homes. That way we all feel connected and think of each other when we have up during Christmas time. 🥰

[@ivyshocklee]

Okay the girls jacket propped up in the backseat freaked me out for half a second 😂

[@ladybird242]

My Grandma had a village. It was under her tree. She put the tree up on a base (I believe a metal box fan) and used a white tree skirt. This created a snowy mountain village! The people were all metal and hand painted. They were definitely from before my time. She even made a cardboard tin foil frozen pond for the people with ice skates. That village is my favorite Christmas memory ❤️

[@cindelduguay5132]

3:45 Not me thinking you forgot Gigi🫣😂

[@caitstevensbeauty9765]

As much as I love seeing your daily activities,the girls and Tyler's carpet cleaning. My favorite part of vlogmas has to be when Your both hysterically tired and sitting on the floor chatting.😂❤ Its so relatable it's also the only time of day my husband and I get to catch up

[@zareena.2674]

These vlogs make me feel so safe 🥹🫶🏼

[@emilycrabtree2012]

It's so comforting and just what I need at the end of my work day. I usually watch about 4pm my time. And it's the perfect way to unwind!

[@JuanitasGrandaughter]

Blue Nana, you looked absolutely stunning at the Santa breakfast! Keep up the good work and graceful aging. ❤

[@dianamarie1499]

Agree, she looked amazing!

[@courtneybaeyen]

I'm surprised tiny Tyler wasn't hanging out in the tiny coffee shop.

[@Susan-Thomas]

We have two daughters now in their 20’s and when they were toddlers, we started getting them each a piece of a Christmas village to build up complete sets for when they moved out on their own. They would set them up in their room when young and looked forward to getting a new piece each year. I teach 5th grade and this year one of my students actually started me out with two pieces to start a classroom village. How exciting!!!! Cannot wait to check out your brother’s website and KZbin channel! Anxiously awaiting tomorrow’s Vlogmas! Hugs and love! Susan in Maryland❤️❤️❤️

[@kellytapia6075]

My MIL started a Dept 56 Dicken’s Village for me. She gave me a new one every Christmas until I had quite the collection. I love it and it reminds me of her ever time I put it up!

[@legalpuppy8602]

Did you notice that the lamp post is more than 2 stories high? Ha! Very cute!

[@SEPOEP2]

My family had a Christmas village growing up, always loved helping pick out a new village addition each year. My brother put it up at my moms house this year and it brought back all the nostalgia. I now have 4 kids (all little) so thanks for the reminder of this lovely tradition! I may start ours this year.

[@morgansilva2092]

Tyler, I am the same. I like deeper conversations. Surface level bugs me. If we ever get to meet, ask me whatever you want. LOL I was an empty nester and then I got a beagle puppy. 🤪 It is definitely like having a toddler. LOL I know it is a season but teaching full time plus the needs of a pup is a lot. LOL I have some Christmas village pieces. I am super picky about what I get but I love them so much. You guys are going to have fun building your own collection. Definitely scope out Deptartment 56. They have some real cute Disney pieces. They are pricey but great quality. So glad you had a fun day. Love y'all to the moon and back! 💛🎄

[@hollyblais6496]

I totally agree with you. My husband and I are recent empty nesters. One child just moved to Florida. The other is busy in college. It is such a big change, and I admit I am struggling with it. But my husband and I definitely want to travel more. Its fun getting reacquainted with your spouse again after children and doing couples only things. Anyway, I could totally relate to your conversation. ❤️

[@leaheiden2436]

I love that half the vlog today was you two on the floor. Seriously, I laugh my butt off everytime! I'm also counting down to those Europe videos Tyler! Don't let me down, four years in the making! 😂 And please do some baking on this vlogmas, won't be the same without them!

[@justkimdg2]

I would wait until after Christmas to add to your collection...when it's discounted. And by the way, I really like Blue Nana's hair. She's looking very chic. I realize that using the word chic ages me but I'm standing by it! I'm loving vlogmas but I love your other vlogs as well.

[@The.Violet.1]

Actually, saying "chic" is a VERY CHIC and elegant thing to me ✨️ I'm 31 !

[@justkimdg2]

@@The.Violet.1 Thank you for that!

[@Sometimesiexercise]

I have a Christmas village! I’ve collected the nostalgic homes ornaments from Hallmark for years and make a village with them. I have every home they’ve made since 1984 😊I’m excited to watch yours grow!

[@dianaburton7042]

We do thre same!❤

[@Sometimesiexercise]

@@dianaburton7042 oh I love this! I’ve never found someone else that does the Nostalgic homes ornaments, how fun!!

I'm like Tyler, I love probing conversation! I love the feeling when you realize you share a common interest with someone about something you can talk forever about! That's a real connection to me ❤❤

[@kelseymosinski]

I have been collecting a Lego Christmas village for about 10 years. At 33, I love it more and more each year.

[@cenavisch8888]

I've never heard of that but it sounds cute!!

[@marylove909]

We have a Snow Village we've been building from Department 56. My favorite part...we have some stuff from the Christmas Vacation movie. We have the Griswald House, the car with the tree on it, the RV, Cousin Eddie emptying 'the shutter's, and Clark and his son doing the Christmas lights, and a few other things. It's so fun!

[@jodiemortag5710]

We have an Xmas village, but we thrift all the pieces, so it is much more inexpensive and when you find one-super exciting!

[@glam_byshan]

No sooner did I finish day 3, and day 4 is uploaded!! Always look forward to Vlogmas with the Braun family! I would love to have a Christmas village for my house one day, just need to get my husband on board!! 🤣

[@gingerrieger7404]

I got an awesome Christmas sweatshirt from Etsy that says “Home Malone” 😂

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

40 dollars is cheap for Canada it would be way more. I love it how magical for the girls. Great tradition. Your mom looks fabulous Tyler.

[@okjessicah]

I inherited my husband's grandmother's Christmas village, and we've added a couple of new ones throughout the years. Being able to display the ones from is grandmother is such a blessing so if you are able to find some like that, take them. They're so special!

[@aislinnedana]

I started a Christmas Village (and Halloween village!) about 10 years ago. When I first started everyone was super excited and bought me a bunch of stuff, plus I got hand me downs and stuff too. Now it's kind of fizzled, but I love seeing it set up. I only pick up new pieces if I find something I have to have.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Jess "Love you guys! Do you love them?" Tyler: "Maybe." 🤣😂🤣

[@Carminec2]

Red is Blue Nana’s color! My word she looks STUNNING!

[@alicewilliams____]

Ok I just need to say Lissy grabbing her coat in the first minute is so cute lok

[@cornellfoodie]

I’ve been watching a ton of Hallmark holiday movies and keep thinking that I’d love to see the two of you starring in one. You’d be perfect the perfect couple to root for - funny and charming, sweet and wholesome. It’s only day 4, but I’m going to be sad when vlogmas is over! Thanks for giving us these daily videos!

[@keishelle]

We bought a snow blanket from Target for our village. We were gifted one piece and are slowly building over time. We added twinkle lights between the pieces for an extra glow ✨

[@usroadtripper]

I think the Tiny Tylers™ might be a little TOO tiny to see on normal device screens.

[@dawnborjas7573]

I was going to ask if anyone can see them because I can’t enlarge the thumbnail.

[@jmitch8483]

If you screenshot the thumbnail, you can enlarge that. That's the only way I can find him. Hope it helps!

[@raeannfirek8827]

Definitely testing my vision 😂 and I already have glasses

[@Shelby5683]

I can see it lol

[@bethanybailey4437]

I can see it!!

[@kathrynrichardson-pt5tk]

My mother had a Christmas village. Dad placed it on plywood with the felt snow and placed it on top of a cabinet in the downstairs den during the holidays. She bought several at first, then that became one gift each year.

[@ashlynn9983]

We have a Christmas village that we started about 4 years ago and every year we go to pick out something new to add to it. It's a fun tradition!

[@jennifervirga476]

I have 16 pieces from the Department 56 Disney village and I love it so much! My grandma had a HUGE village and passed it down so I grew up helping my mom set up hers. It takes me at least 5 hours to set up (literally takes up a 12 foot wall in our house) but it brings me, my husband & our two toddler girls so much joy so it is worth the time and cost. You guys should totally look into the Disney village too, it would be perfect for ya’ll!!❤😊🎄love you guys and appreciate your videos more than you know!!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@claudettekennemore3624]

My Christmas village started years ago with a haul from a thrift store. Now every year I add a piece to it. It's grown large enough my husband built me a ladder shelf. I love setting it up and the kids love it to.

[@allisonfranklingoley7345]

It is absolutely hilarious to me that, in the beginning of the vlog, Jessica talks about her love of seeing people pretend to conduct music with just their pointer fingers (00:27). Then, just minutes later (3:01) Santa does this very thing 🤣

[@raeana_mari]

Tyler’s “ho HO ho” 😂😂 I caught that The Santa Claus 2

[@katherinetaylor5925]

I have a Christmas village. It was paint it yourself & they went out of business several years ago so now I add & change accessories every year. This year I got a Mickey & Minnie caroling set from kohls.

[@jilld3028]

We have collected Department 56 Dicken’s Village. They also have a Disney Christmas village too. Most of the buildings are over $100. It is more whimsical than their other lines.

[@fourliltadpoles]

When Tyler said, "There are so many sprinkles on our floor" I thought he was making statement about how blessed they were. lol Love the Vlogmas!

[@meloneau]

"there are so many sprinkles on our floor" legitimately thought you were making a metaphor for the busy-ness of life, but alas, you had sprinkles on the floor.

[@emily57644]

Hands-down, the best Christmas village is the department 56 dickens village series. Department 56 comes out with new houses every few years however, there is a ton of old ones on eBay. I am set to inherit a collection of 25 houses and they are so beautiful. It is a cherished memory of my childhood.

[@mrsdls]

6:07 yes I have a village. My mom collected them for me when I was little and the grocery store would release them a week at a time.

[@feagleyme]

Request for a gift guide for teens…you helped me nail my daughter’s stocking last year!! Huge props for that!

[@janataylor5520]

About the Christmas village…my mom decided to start me one as she had one…and got me a lovely Victorian house as my first piece…a new piece was going to be a part of Christmas each year. She passed away suddenly in September before the 2nd piece was purchased. My husband then got me the 2nd piece…and I received my mom’s original pieces. I get warm fuzzy feeling when I see them all together.

[@JaneReads]

Also love when Blue Nana makes an appearance 😀

[@alisonrichard624]

Not Santa doing the finger conducting 🤣🤣🤣

[@leslieprebyl6238]

When my boys were little, I started collecting the Department 56 North Pole village. I usually added to it each year. If your not careful, the whole village can take over your space. I was very selective about the pieces I purchased and once I had my whole china cabinet filled up, I stopped. I decided to set it up in the cabinet because they are so expensive and I would have been heartbroken if something happened to them. My boys are 20 and 23 now and to be honest I haven't set it up for a few years. It is a fun tradition that I am sure the girls will love.

[@loracontreras1779]

[@peg516]

I loved my grandparents’ Christmas village - especially the ice skating that worked! As an adult, I love the idea of it but our house is small so storing it is an issue and we have little ones that I don’t want to worry about around it. I would say to check out estate sales throughout the year for more! Department 56 is THE brand for the villages

[@lacy_spears]

I started collecting village pieces years ago, but I have thrifted all of them! It’s so fun to find a new one, clean it up, and add it to my collection.

[@danilealuvify]

You will never regret having a Christmas Village! My grandparents and dad both collected them. I loved it as a kid and my grandmother gave me her collection when she moved out of her house. Now my dad gifts one house from his collection to my kids each year. We also inherited my brother in law's Lionel train from the 1980s, which we set up around the village. It's a nice way to incorporate both families into a new tradition.

[@Miriam3303]

I just went on your brother's YT channel and it's great! So into history and I love it! Thank you for the suggestion. :)

[@tiffany2015]

My mom had a Christmas village she started in the 90's. We had the big console TV so she set it up on that each year. She would add to it. It got pretty big!

[@elysepranin4936]

My mom used to own a gift shop.She was licensed to be a Department 56 representative. So my parents have like 200 homes all the figurines the trees, the snow, the felt everything. It’s freaking crazy. And yes, my dad does decorate before Thanksgiving.

25 years ago I bought a village from the Disney store. I have the Pooh village, It has all the houses, (rabbit’s, Kanga’s) and all the characters. I had to buy all the pieces separately. It cost about $300. It is my pride and joy. I still have the original boxes.
