[@AMFibers]

The shots of the beans with no context is my favorite. 😂😂😂

[@tarapedroza]

Yes! I was like MORE BEANS! 😂

[@cecilia929]

Yes 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tabithak5943]

I cackled!!!!

[@susankrieger1406]

Who had “canned beans” on their vlogmas bingo card?! I’m anxiously waiting for “drywall!”

[@Teaspoon04]

Spritz cookies and carpet cleaning, too

[@dee43567]

It wouldn’t be vlogmas if the beans didn’t have their moment in the spotlight 😂😂

[@AmandaEatsBugs]

How to spot an OG vlogmas viewer 😂

[@lindseyandrews2650]

I like that Tyler says “we’re looking at our kindles” instead of “we’re reading”. Hahahaha I just pictured them just staring at their kindles.

[@kaypash1454]

Giggling everytime Tyler says “Europe” now 😂

[@gigis9823]

It’s so funny, after not seeing Gigi in the car I immediately was like she’s riding home with blue nana, duh!! 😂

[@thedailybri]

Haha I thought the same thing!! Didn’t think twice 😂

[@jeannescanlan2279]

I was wondering why the car seat was empty too!😂

[@E3Virgo-AmandaMoats]

Exactly 😊

[@jelibeanncoffee2577]

Banana = blue Nana 😂

[@alicepirola7077]

Why is Nana "Blue"?😅

[@marthaborg6897]

I can’t wait to see the “Yurt” videos lol. I love that you took a 2 syllable word and made it one😂

[@EMILYHERRERA]

It's the total opposite of Southern, where people take a one syllable word and stretch it into two or three syllables. 😂

[@glam_byshan]

listening to this vlog as I'm studying for my clinical anatomy final on the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand and Jessica says "isn't it crazy how many parts of the body there are?" I simply could not agree more in this moment 😂

[@TinaC982]

THANK YOU FOR THE PINOCCHIO SIGHTING!! More please! ❤️❤️🐶🐶❤️❤️

[@jessicacollins9033]

I agree!! Sweetest dog ever!!!❤

[@lindsaylou83]

Found tiny Tyler today 😊Raise your hand if you want to see more Pinnochio! 🐶 ✋

[@ayoangelc]

When Jess asked “do you love em?” And Tyler just dodged it 🤣 baby steps! Maybe by the end this year!

[@ashlanthomas7743]

Did I just see Tyler get artsy fartsy with…chickpeas??? 😂😂😂😂

[@Scastro62]

Yes, thank you for making Tiny Tyler bigger!

[@allym2560]

Tree topper - we use twist ties! Like twist ties from the produce section… it works for us on a live tree, so it has to work on an artificial!

[@etrudeaut]

Gotta say, I love this community! The vlogmas comments are hilarious! Thank you for the daily vlogs, I’m catching up while nursing my 1 week old munchkin 🥰🍼 keeping us both entertained 🎉

[@modernvettech]

These 1/2 the vlog evening chats in the basement are gold

[@maryjojaggar9254]

Yes! I’ll check where we are in the video and realize it’s only half way and think oh they must have some more content after they chat. But no! They are the best content!

[@RealtorHollyB]

I love love, love, love love the way Jessica talks to Pinocchio in the “Pinocchio voice” lol. I do the exact same thing with my pups. I have two and they have different voices when I talk to them or about them. 🤣🤣🤣

[@keenjanene]

Just waiting for Jess to NOT put a Tyler in one of the thumbnails and watch everyone go crazy 😂

[@rebeccaude4412]

LOL! That would be absolutely brutal!

[@alliedyke6825]

So many “that’s what she said” moments at the beginning of this vlog 😂

[@VeraBellyDance]

I was thinking the same thing! 😂😂

[@VeraBellyDance]

"It's still going to be hard, but it might just get a little bit bigger," said my husband. 😅

[@leilasursill4768]

Tree toppers with the spiral base can be corkscrewed into the top of the tree. You can even stretch them out a bit before hand then screw it on. The spiral will go around some of the upper branches and hold it in place.

[@Chantal_4107]

The comment I was searching for LOL thanks!

[@leilasursill4768]

@@Chantal_4107 I only learned about this this year and was like what 🙀! I have an 18 month old who has yet to be able to topple the topper with it put on like this 😂

[@kjimm244]

“Crows feet” made me laugh out loud

[@laurajones4902]

I don't hear yurt when you say Europe fast... it sounds like yurp. From now on Europe will be known in my mind as Yurp 😂 also love the way y'all say crayon, with no "o"

[@sweetsanddandy8639]

Cran. Lol.

[@stilwellpianostudio7813]

I say Yurp too! 😂

[@mrsdls]

1:52 it’s so funny, because I was just thinking that they’ve been too easy this year to find the tiny Tylers in the thumbnail haha

[@jelibeanncoffee2577]

Potatoes, patatos, yurt, yurp... we know what you mean, lol😂😋🥰 Bahaha the chick peas! I thought it was a commercial at first!!🤣🤣😂😂

[@vanessanicholson9260]

Coffee chat in the car= Carrfee chat That was the funniest evening floor time 😆. Glad we cleared up the empty ghost coat!

[@jent98]

We, too, have a weak treetop, lol. We finally ended up wrapping black electrical tape around the top branch to make it much sturdier. Works like a charm!

[@candacehoban4945]

For me Europe rhymes with syrup. Anyone else?

[@wendyanne8719]

Take a wooden spoon from the kitchen and zip tie the tree topper and the top together to it!! It is a game changer!!

[@kaitamblo]

Ok so my mom was a professional tree decorator (that’s a thing lol) and she always took the highest branch and rather than just shoving it down on top, you wind the branch around the spiral. I really hope that translates lol idk how else to describe it 😂

[@jenniferkeller2783]

For the tree topper. Pull the spiral out and then corkscrew it around the center of the tree

[@OfficialPhillipsPham]

For the tree topper, I can normally get the one tallest branch to go through the top of the spiral where it attaches to the base of the star. It goes up through and behind the star, so it helps prop it up. Sometimes it still goes a little wonky but when I do that and mess with it a bit, I can get it to stay!

[@abaker3721]

Hahaaa! This made me think of Brick from the Middle. He loves fonts 😆🎄. Loving vlogmas!

[@karinpienaar7315]

My 4yr old son has a touch of OCD and the xmas tree star topper bending over at the top drives him insane 😂

[@vnokesCO]

I usually just fold over a branch for the topper, making it a bit stronger. As for missing Gigi, did they think you forgot your kid or gave her to Santa? 😂 I figured she was with Blue Nana. Btw - you should save the bean liquid aka aquafaba. There are many ways to use it, but primarily as an egg white substitute in recipes; like it'll whip up like a meringue.

[@Sometimesiexercise]

Obviously if Tyler was going to get artsy fartsy and make yurt videos we would know

[@jadebishop9814]

I love you guys! Jessica looks like she was about to fall over. You guys always make me laugh! BTW we zip tie our topper to the tree.

[@susannadler9791]

We gave up on tree toppers! I printed out what our daughter wanted as a tree topper, had her color two, made a ring out of paper and glued the pieces on front and back of it. Boom, tree topper to slip over that’s light enough and with a personal touch.

[@ShelleyReneeC]

You can buy chopped onions in the freezer section. So much easier.

[@Amanda-od2dr]

Omg the idea of sitting down a kid and going over different wrinkles is taking me out 😂😂

[@tabithak5943]

Tree topper: zip tie a thin dowel to the top poking up branch. Then boom, top it off! I use already painted green dowels from the craft section. Don’t try too hard on it - I’d imagine Tyler buying a super big dowel and then spray painting and cutting it to perfection. Unnecessary lol

[@megananderson3891]

I always just fold the tippy top of my tree into a little nub and shove it into the spiral 😂

[@katherinetrauger7588]

We zip tied our topper to our tree, and then we got an Angel and she’s fairly stable. Love the vlogs❤

[@alamryfarms754]

Another vote for zip tying heavy ones!

[@kellybowe354]

The Beans!! 🔦 🔦 😂

[@courtneybaeyen]

I thought it was an ad for a second. 😂

[@mayraramos3092]

I came looking for this comment lol

[@mandafarrell334]

I screen shot the thumbnail so I can enlarge it to look for Tiny Tyler. 😂

[@patin319]

The little Tyler has been on shelves, salad, wreath, next to a plate and on Jessica’s arm…..! Is fun to find it ! I will be making the chicken and chickpea recipe. I hope I find that Mina Harissa sauce !

[@copperlemons]

My preschooler has been very into Magic School Bus this year and he always tells me he wants to watch “the one with the REAL Ms. Frizzle, not the other one!” Needless to say, he’s a lily fan 😂

[@melslatt]

My husband and I do the same thing where we say a lot of the same jokes, often at the same time (jinx!). We love it! I also appreciated the diaper cream joke from the other day! It cut really quick to the next scene, but I knew it had to be a dad joke 😅

[@liuwanzhu4227]

Crowsfeet had me on the floor lol!

[@betsybabf748]

I figured Nana took Gigi, but I laughed at how strange it was with the car seat empty and your not mentioning a word.

[@Caliwaters27]

I am totally laughing at Tyler saying go to bed. Thanks for the reminder to set up the coffee for the morning. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@dominiqueolivares6144]

We buy the tree toppers with the clip and also fold down the top branch to make it more sturdy

[@lexiemery5182]

It’s 11:00 am and I’m in the Walmart parking lot. But I guess I’m gonna turn over and go to sleep 😂

[@kaylas8591]

I have commented on some other video of yours for the travel agency but we really did enjoy using People Mover Travel for our Disney trip! We plan to use you all again in 2025 for a Disney/Universal trip. It was nice to ask a person direct questions and get detailed answers about parks, food, resorts, etc. It was all very easy and simple to go through the agency. Recommend!!

[@Susan-Thomas]

Yes!!! My favorite part of December!!!!!❤

[@marylove909]

I put some tissue paper up inside the spiral part of the tree topper to fill it in. The spiral on ours is black, so I just use a bit of black tissue paper. I can put more tissue on just one side of the spiral if needed to better support the topper.

[@JamieRydberg]

Tree topper. My husband amputated the bottom base of it so it's just a star then thread tie-wraps through the back and made perfect loops that attach to the top of the tree. That sucker is so in place all season long. Granted our star is made of this kind of "spider web" material so it has space to thread through. But I freaking hate crooked tree toppers.

[@MyThomas16]

Tyler, can you do a video on the progress of your 2023 goals and your goals for 2024. Enjoyed when you have shared in the past - always inspiring!

[@ceceliacannarozzi869]

When you guys were talking about the ornaments I was secretly hoping you would start singing the sliver and gold song and you did!😂

[@georginahird3211]

I’ve found all they tiny Tyler’s this year and I watch on my iPad, and I STRUGGLED last year. Not going to lie, I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself because I keep finding them 😂

[@rebeccaude4412]

DITTO 😉🎄!

[@vnokesCO]

I've had no trouble & I'm only phone. Last year was a bit of a struggle.

[@alicepirola7077]

Haven't found not one😢

[@rebeccaude4412]

Geez….Tiny Tyler being larger should have been much easier to locate today, but WOW I struggled compared to the previous 5 days, lol 😂!

[@jenagrgurich7108]

I watch every episode all the way to the end - even the ending commercials - in the hopes that there will be another artsy fartsy video 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@LAbeignet]

Love the new recipe website!! See so many things I will be making soon 😋. Also, I have a show recommendation for y’all…The Middle. It is hilarious and if I remember correctly, it is set in Indiana. Brick and Sue are my favorite characters!

[@annamoore7654]

We went to skip the bean ad only to realize it was still a part of the video 🤪😂

[@laurenriter8630]

Gonna let you in on a secret….Christmas decor is Always 50% off before Christmas at craft stores like HL, Michael’s and Joann’s. Every year 🎉

[@ashleyjohnson4423]

Bought a tree topper with a clip - GAME CHANGER!

[@imaginearingwithme6544]

GOD I love a raisin surprise in a savory dish

[@heatherlynn_5555]

My grandma attached a popsicle stick to the top of her tree to help support the tree topper.

[@buddydunkel]

You can use a wooden spoon to help support the tree topper

[@KimBarboo]

KZbin doesn't help with Tiny Tyler because the stupid autoplay won't let you study a thumbnail. Side note: are you using the new little DJI camera? Do you love it?

[@kathleensztropkalyi7547]

I have a feeling 1 of u were DYING to say “that’s what she said” while talking about finding the Tiny Tyler 😂

[@andreamarie2116]

Tree toppers: we use wooden skewers and zip ties… extra classy 😂

[@nbbluecat]

Jess says "all the nightly chores".. I thought it was just me who complained 😅. But future me always appreciates what I did the night before!

[@katrynaraye]

My family just lets the topper be floppy ✨🎄

[@EP-hm5ue]

The solution for your tree topper situation is get a real tree. The branches are so strong that it will handle a topper no problem.

[@deirdremccann3212]

I completely realised that Gigi was with your mum but I was laughing at the screen thinking it looks like they’ve forgotten something! 🤣💙

[@smffboe7733]

Mi ppppjkp

[@smffboe7733]

Dii

[@tamekocollins6412]

To stabilize the tree topper, try putting a wooden pencil or something similar against the top branch (that will be under the topper) to help stabilize it!

[@rjrambo]

My husband zip ties ours to the tree every year lol

[@gemrose8r]

My favorite time of day.

[@quanquan0]

Omg this basement Reno is such a tease. I’ve been looking forward to it since vlogmas day 1!

[@mary0560]

Loving vlogmas as usual!! Also, I'm so happy to see your new cooking website! The link to the vodka sauce isn't working!

[@angelachapman4415]

I hate most tree toppers because I don't understand how to attach them either. I ended up finding a GE capiz star that has a clip you can just clip on to the center pole, so I'm happy with it. They have it at Michaels.

[@debifoshag8436]

The best tree toppers have a claw clip! Just like a hair claw clip, lol. They are amazing!

[@AnnesFamilyRecipe]

My husband can fall asleep anytime, anywhere! I wonder if there are studies showing men can do that more easily than women??

[@shamelesslykristen]

watching this at 1:30pm and could totally turn over and fall asleep right now 😂

[@amyr4944]

Just a tip….before you go to the store google Harissa near me. And then it’ll show you if any stores near you have it. I’m all about saving a trip😂🙌🏼

[@SleepyinDisney]

I found Tyler near the merry Christmas plates and ornament box

[@elisemiller2244]

We used your travel agency in November for our Disneyland trip, and it was an amazing experience! Highly recommend. 🙌🏼

[@alybasansky2552]

Parts of the body = crows feet 😂😂😂

[@ginat3701]

Crows feet! 😂😂😂

[@theawkwardnat]

We have a clip on our tree topped to help place it. Highly recommend.

[@karincope3019]

Love lines is what we call Crows Feet in our family.

[@ShopwithSarah]

Weak trees? 2 weeks. It’s always 2 weeks. Someone loves the money pit.

[@jeaninegimlin7746]

Saw a way to do it. They put a styrofoam foam in the spiral then add it on the top

[@jennifermorin3229]

You’re dropping the /p/ at the end and not saying 2 syllables!! But hey yert videos would be fun too!!

[@Ash_Lo]

Really hoping to see 'what we read' vlog at the end of this month!!!

[@kaibethcruz-philippe9592]

Lollll i never knew Europe is what Tyler was saying 😂

[@somewherenorth4092]

Can attest that curry is amazing, especially the next day/as leftovers. I made it with chicken thighs, but maybe I'll try it with beef next time. Also, I'm not usually a fan of raisins in food, but I wanted to give the recipe a shot (mostly) as written. They blended with the flavors and textures very nicely.

[@elisaanderson1564]

Have the same problem and questions with tree toppers!

[@taracutler9028]

We use a dowel painted green or wrapped in floral tape, and zip tie it to the center branch of the tree to support our topper 🎄
