Did anybody like my vlog? Of course we all love your blogs. Karen thank you so much for doing this at such a busy time of year. For those of us who live alone it is such a blessing and inspiration. I look forward to it each and every day. Your cheerfulness your genuineness just gives me the kick in the pants to keep me up and going at what could otherwise be a difficult time of year. Thanks so much for all you do, these blogs are definitely a bright spot in my day. God bless you and Lauren and all your hard work.👏👏👏

[@EnhanceTheSeasonswithKaren]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@kathytellier3806]

Answering questions makes your vlogmas so much more personal. I think everyone just wants to be there sipping a tea with you and going with you to your wreath making night. Karen your soul shines.

[@EnhanceTheSeasonswithKaren]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

Kathy Tellier, I agree! I just recently found her channel and just adore her.

[@kelleycasey2948]

Oh my goodness, my mom and I lived on my grandparents country farm when I was 4 and we had horses and a cutter sleigh, that we took on the 3 mile ride to our Christmas Eve church service. The horses were donned with beautiful jingle bells and woolen blankets! It was truly picture perfect and is the reason Christmas Eve is my FAVORITE holiday-ish night!

[@karenkinyone613]

I just love these vlogs! They just make me smile ! I look forward to this everyday ! 😘🌲🎅🏻🤶🏻

[@theintrepidexplorer2604]

Love your personality , we all want to be your friend. “ Kindness is magic “ 😘 🙏🏻

[@deanna1972]

Karen, I just love you. You have such a sweet heart. I’m really enjoying your vlogs this year. ❤️ I am like you, I always get ready. My Mom instilled that in me and I have tried to pass it on to my adult daughters. I like feeling put together. I don’t do it for anyone else, but me. Your wreath is absolutely beautiful. I need to find a class like that In my area. Looks so fun! Hope you have a good day! I went to work and came back a little under the weather. I run a senior living facility and this time if the year seems to just be so full of germs. Hugs, gf!!

[@baf814]

So true. I just love the 2 Orchids, truly beautiful women, inside and out.

[@marywiest7115]

Karen, I was watching this at the end of this long day for me and seeing Sweet Archie sleeping on that pillow calmed me way down, he is so adorable!!! Thank you for your time in making this Vlogmas, it must be time consuming. What beautiful wreaths and how fun!!

[@annetteboykin9538]

Aaaaahhhhh yes, I agree With you back in the day it seem like there was so much snow. Our streets, curbside would be feet’s of snow mountains almost as tall as the house by the time the plow came through and shoved it along the curbside. I remember it would be nerve-racking for my parents because we would put a sled on it and slide down into the street of course but we had to make sure there were no cars coming it was a one-way street so that was good LOL Sweet precious Archie. Thanks for your up close and personal conversations with us

[@lynnmorris8379]

Oh my goodness, Archie, he is just the cutest, all snuggled up there on the sofa with you. Loved the Christmas wreath, the bow was perfect, I always have nightmare when I try to make bows 🎀. You so suit a pom pom hat, you looked so lovely dressed in the cream colours ❤️

[@belindataylor8619]

The wreath turned out beautiful. ( I think Tikka would have given it a thumbs up!)

[@kelleycasey2948]

That lippie combo from yesterday was EVERYTHING! I agree with all these comments. We all love this channel because you girls just warm our souls with your love and kindness!

[@llnut4775]

I remember the snow too, I grew up North of Pittsburgh. It really doesn't snow like it use to.

[@gmamary47]

Oh sweet Karen. You are such an inspiration. Archie laying on the pillow is so cute. See you tomorrow. Have a fun evening.

[@cheryllambert3777]

Wedding soup in Italian means, " the marriage of the flavor between greens and meat.

Hi Karen, I wanted to let you know how uplifting your videos are. The holidays are always bitter sweet for me since my mom and other close family members are gone. Having your vlogmas videos help me get in the Christmas spirit. I’m sure it does for others as well❤️

[@kellyvernon6074]

Traditional wedding soup is called marriage soup! Its called that because of marriage of flavors of the meat and greens!

[@sharonheffren7755]

Love how your wreath turned out! I remember how you and some of your girlfriends did those boxes, I believe last year. Do you have something like that planned for this year? Or was your coffee/cocoa tiered tray this year's craft project? Love DIYs & craft videos, especially at this time of the year.
