What vlogmas content would you like to see?! Any things you want me to try or do? I would love to know, leave them in this comment thread and like or comment on ones you want to see!

[@CassandraLefebvre]

Christmas movie date night? You know those eat what you see on screen things around London? Would be cool to do your own homemade version!

[@CassandraLefebvre]

also I love love love you!

[@Aka_Vanii]

I really enjoy seeing what you are cooking. I am always on the lookout for some inspiration for my own cooking.

[@abbiekremer8250]

Baking and decorating your house for the first time ❤

[@lauraturford]

December chocolate subscription boxes, interesting to see what u get in them with it being xmas month or trying the different flavours of mince pies that have been released this year xx

[@AlwynRainMystic]

will you ever do a sit down video and talk about the last few years of your life and the big changes you have been through? i feel like you have never discussed it with us, just went from being single grace who never dated to being married and settled down , without even acknowledging it properly to your audience. It would be interesting to hear you talk about how it has felt, and how you adjusted to such big life changes, moving out of your parents and 'growing up' so quickly

[@swampophelia2098]

True she went from being a kid at home to suddenly being married

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

What a sweet gift - a bespoke advent calendar for your hubs! My husband, on our 25th wedding anniversary, collected 25 small gifts - 1 for each year - that had special significance (everything from a tiny plastic dog to a birdhouse to some special wine...all special memories) and put them all in a basket as his gift to m. It was so sweet and so romantic - I was so very touched at his thoughtfulness. As for your salt dough decorations --- I did those when I was in college and gave them to my mother --- she used them on her tree for YEARS!!! Mine were mostly animals and I had so much fun making and painting them ... loved using the garlic press to make a mane for the lion and the wool for the sheep!

[@xmiss.bunnyx]

This is probably the first Christmas I’ve been looking forward to in a long time. I get to spend it at home, in my own space, with my partner and step son. We only moved in together this year, so it feels more special! I’m so looking forward to sitting in my pyjamas and just relaxing in my own space.

[@anabitlan9335]

Ooooo gosh! I'm so excited for you❤ Hope it's everything you dreamed of 😊

[@Italiana911]

Grace, I know you love baby blue. However I think that Winter colours on you look stunning! Your bed linen set is really nice. 😊 xx

[@ninahudson3045]

For my husband last year I got him a lego set and split it up into 25 little bags so he didn't know what the lego was until nearer the end !

[@disasterofalldisasters]

When I did the same kind of advent calendar for my husband I found lots of things wouldn't fit. So in those doors I wrote a clue and hid the item somewhere in our home!

[@lolaicivolod]

in French we say "mariage pluvieux mariage heureux" rainy wedding happy wedding! lots of love!

[@mla9313]

its so lucky to get married in the rain!!! tying a knot in water makes it stronger !

[@abbiekremer8250]

Silent watcher here 👋 Find your videos so cosy and relaxing 😊 Really just looking forward to all the Christmas vibes this year 😅

[@simplycreativeart]

Silent watcher here! You are so comforting to watch and you make me feel so much calmer and less lonely when I spend the day alone! 😍

[@roses7130]

Silent watcher who put the last bite of cheese triangle and toast into her mouth right as Grace said 'I love these on toast at the moment, not a clue where that's come from!' 😂

[@KarlaEmmerson]

Not getting Banksy an advent calendar is a travesty though

[@bee-2000]

Pets at home have ones! I got one for my guinea pigs 😊

[@thetiredworm2100]

This year I’d quite like to make candied oranges dipped in chocolate, idk why but it feels Christmas-y, plus the recipe is very simple!

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

After I looked at the headline I discovered that DIY Advent calendars can be used as a lead-up to Birthdays. Perfect to brighten the post holiday weeks before my mid January birthday. Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@Patricia44998]

You have the best timing with your vlogs! I have a stomach flu and I can´t get out of bed. It´s so nice to have something to watch, thank you

[@Kari_B61ex]

Good call Grace - Surveys don't often show major problems. I bought a property back in the late 2000s. I then found out that one of the rooms had 'rising damp'. Thankfully it was easily remedied. Loved seeing Banksy in your Vlog and your personalised Advent calendar for Mr. Grack.

[@FlapjackR]

I’m looking forward to giving birth to our fifth baby this Christmas! We are so excited to get to meet him or her in the coming weeks. 💛 I will also be attempting to make homemade marshmallows for the first time in the next week or so and am greatly looking forward to doing that May God bless you both during your first Christmas married. 🕊️

[@AmyB913]

Merry Christmas Booth family and everyone! ♥️🎄✨

[@tonicarter4770]

I've made one for my partner and got these cute Christmas dinosaur bags and put socks, miniature whiskeys and sweets etc coz he doesn't do chocolate either. It was like a goody bag each day. He loved it 😊

[@katlinbrock8762]

I've been a silent watcher for years, Grace! Happy Christmas season! I'm spending Christmas in the UK this year with my partner, it'll be very different indeed! ❤

[@DaysWithRachel]

Excited to watch this when I’m home from work !! 🤩💌

[@amymariee]

love your vlogs sm grace

[@clairjarman]

The advent calendar is such a cute idea for your husband!! Also I'm from Ludlow!! Hope you enjoyed your time here, I walk my dog past the nut factory and it always smells so good!!

[@sarahbabylove13]

Grace you need to make a mix jar. I have popcorn, nuts, chocolate buttons, pretzels and whatever i fancy it's so good. supermarkets do their own mixes (tesco's are the best) but i wanted to add more fun things. I saw a girl on tiktok make on as well. So fun. i call it my Merry Mix

[@jade-vs1ef]

haven't commented before ahh but this christmas i really want to go on a bunch of fun holiday solo dates (: recently got broken up with and it'll be my first single x-mas in a couple years, so heres to re-learning how to have fun on my own !

[@downtomarsaudio]

I just wiped out my fridge while listening to this! thanks gracie and merry christmas to you and yours xxx

[@jonap5740]

Lovely to see you so excited about advent calendars! So sorry to hear about your washing machine. My friend had her dishwasher start a fire in her kitchen...Get an electrician to check that the unit is ok and has not damaged the wires in the wall...because the company representative might not. You house will get renovated bit by bit and that is the best way!

[@tovetotte]

Would love a little storytime on how u and mr grack met! And confused as to when u started dating? 💕

[@hannahsutton1560]

Love watching your videos. This year I went to Christmas Edinburgh markets and it was amazing. Have loads of little Xmas nights planned out and things to look forward to ❤

[@KatherineVennard]

Silent viewer. I’m doing ok thank you. Hope you and the family are well. Still recovering from surgery, and like so many others have said, your blogs are so comforting and natural. I’m going to try and do Brie, bacon and cranberry pastry bites for Christmas 🤞

[@beautifulbluebutterfly8813]

Silent viewer here, Love your videos Grace! You should have your own line of Grace advent calanders. We would all buy them! You are an expert! 💙

[@roseforbes9670]

I absolutely loved this video!!

[@halleemaa]

so much love to you grace💕

[@extragrackvlogs]

LOVE YOU LOADSSSS

[@yelenawagner8961]

I missed your video 🥲 happy to see you back

[@kirstiegog]

I love when grace uploads 🎉 although for a second I thaught it said wedding vlog hahahaha

[@extragrackvlogs]

I sometimes wish I had someone vlog the day for me!! hahah

[@mysterious_pomegranate]

Silent watcher here. I've been watching your videos since winter 2019, so almost 5 years, which is crazy... yours is such a comfort channel for me. I'm currently experiencing an early miscarriage so everything kind of sucks, but it will be okay 🙃. And I don't celebrate Christmas BUT for Chanuka I'm looking forward to making latkes and eating fancy doughnuts. Maybe I'll even make some homemade doughnuts if I have time. 😋

[@outoftheklosset]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you much compassion and support.💐

[@avafoxs]

i’m doing good! the holidays are so exciting but can be stressful as well. this year i’d like to make a dessert i’ve never made before for christmas dinner. i can’t decide what dessert i want to try! i’ll probably also bring a side dish of some sort.

[@maraa3830]

Silent viewer 😊 really retting me in the Christmas mood. I'd love to make a gingerbread house this year (I'm always hesitant because I don't like eating it then, lol)

[@luciamiola8970]

Love the advent calendar ❤

[@louisacoote2337]

Here in France, I have seen and bought a tube of just baby blue Smarties as they are a special festive version.

[@joshow926]

The custom advent calendar looks great! If I have time it'd be cool to do one for my fam (splitting the days between us)! Looking forward to that future Roast Dinner vlog. We usually keep things simple with frozen roasties and Yorkshire puds. Are you planning to make it all from scratch? Lovely video!

[@limeluver1]

Silent watcher hello! This year I'm going to the Faroe Islands to spend christmas with my cousin who lives there and I'm very excited for my first winter christmas and hoping to see the northern lights!

[@obia9547]

Hey good evening Grace I am indeed a silent watcher haha, lovely video as always, have a nice rest of the week!

[@xingcat]

I almost never comment, but this Christmas, I bought all my ribbon at thrift shops over the past few months, and I'm going to hand-print my own wrapping paper and tags for all my gifts. (I think...I may run out of motivation at some point.)

[@sarahcariad702]

I.m making mulled wine cranberry jam for the 1st time. We've also using a hot tub christmas eve. I may or may not have bought christmas print swimsuits😂

[@TheTigerAndTheTea]

Silent watcher ~ I make a pie every year and I saw an earl grey pastry cream pie on youtube that I wanna try making this year!

[@grainnemaginness62]

I've always wanted to do a mickey and mini mouse christmas tree, and this year, I'm doing it 😊I'm so excited 😅

[@klaramatfrank]

Silent watcher here! Been watching since your WWII rations vid back in the day and I'm so looking forward to vlogmas!!

[@dawnkelly2229]

I allso stock up in Boxing Day or after on Xmas bits but I allso stock up on Christmas wrapping paper that is plain or not actually Christmasy so I use it for birthday through the year

[@nighthawkdragonfly8339]

Another fun vlog. You are so sweet and I love that you love giving gifts. I am the same although this year I have had to cut back.

[@jeannevancraenenbroeck9888]

I really want to make a christmassy cocktail and hang lights outside my window!

[@timtreefrog9646]

Every year I add a new paraplegic reindeer to my christmas tree decoration collection. 😊

[@Suhailahsue]

love your videos so much

[@Hannah-go3xo]

❤😂🎉🎉would love a video on non screen activities to do to make time go slower . E.g easy and fun crafts

[@94tmmac]

Silent Watcher from Onaping Falls Ontario Canda ❤ I have been watching your videos for a long while now 😊 You are such a sweet soul and I look forward to seeing what your future holds ❤️

[@nellers31]

For the Advent calendar, could it be painted? Like some acrylic paint and then you can do stickers or Sharpie markers to decorate it. I love the idea of the a bespoke calendar!❤

[@antea_j]

Omg I'm a Lego addict. The best Lego to buy for advent calendar are polybags, for example Lego creator 3in1 panda or parrot. Oooor if he likes cars, Lego speed champions 🎉

[@kamalaj4146]

For your bathtub... are you able to get it refinished? That has helped me in the past with tubs that just never felt clean or my own

[@Nilesedge]

So many houses have asbestos in places you wouldn’t even expect, it’s so annoying!! I’m sure you’ll make progress with the renovations soon ❤

[@emmahaworth1227]

Chocolate buttons have stabilisers in so they don’t melt in the bag 🙃

[@354lulo]

I've never had an advent calendar, so I want to buy or make one!

[@rt___174]

Need lemon on the avocado toast 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@user-pr1gi3lh1g]

Werter's Originals are my favorite sweets too! In my case, it is because of the creamy taste that I love. By the way, I really enjoy your videos, you are very sweet, and you make me feel comfort in your vlogs. It is as if we were close friends on a video call. I really want to send you lots of loves and support with this comment because I'm a silent watcher.

[@angiewatson9870]

Thank you much love xx

[@laurenconnolly4675]

Grack try some aldi version giant choc buttons they will height of sure...It's more yummy choc x

[@cassidymenard2275]

I'm finally going to make mince pies from scratch!

[@kaile5050]

A few stickers will cover up the Body Shop branding..

[@katerichardson4832]

Do you have a recipe for the salt dough? Such a lovely idea!

[@myemail8282]

What did you use on your eyebrows the eyebrow gel thing, any recommendations?

[@Monica_6521]

Finally, I get to see someone reusing one of those huge Advent Calendars. Here in America Advent Calendars aren't a huge thing. I love the idea and I hope your husband loves it.🥰

[@rileybarry1701]

Silent viewer here 🫣 this year I really want to master icing Christmas sugar cookies 🍪🎄

[@rt___174]

Need to try the microwave for the chocolate

[@sharakate]

I think this year I want to build a gingerbread house but some of them are so sad. I need to find a good one!

[@janegarner9246]

Try putting the chocolate buttons on the pretzels and then put in the oven for 2-3 minutes.

[@KS-ix1pt]

Love this long vlog so much, please do more longer videos theyre so comforting

[@katiemcgovern9856]

thank you for introducing me to Adobe Firefly - this is amazing. I asked for 'illustration of woman writing christmas cards in cosy living room with cat" but accidentally wrote 'car'. Oh the fun :')

[@AlwynRainMystic]

its putting artists out of business but go off

[@katiemcgovern9856]

fair enough! I was just playing around with the software out of curiosity, but appreciate your point when it starts being used for commercial purposes@@AlwynRainMystic

[@christopherclark9322]

All I want are them ❤PJs for my sister

[@samanthawaters1045]

I’ve been looking everywhere for someone who dries wedding bouquets like that (rather than in resin) would you mind sharing who did yours please?

[@dandelion5410]

Try oats in your bath, it's great for your skin and I usually add a few drops of essential oil

[@joshow926]

I used to use oats to exfoliate my face and my skin was always sooo soft afterwards! I heard oats in a sock stop them going down the drain. Do you put them in anything?

[@dandelion5410]

@@joshow926 me too, it's great for senstive and dry skin! I usually put them into a large muslin bag but I have just sprinkled them into the water in the past, using something to put them in is def the better option 🙂

[@limeparticle]

Asbestos is so sneaky because it really wasn’t documented back in the day. It’s also not something to play with, my dad expired from asbestosis and the exposure happened years before anyone had any idea.

[@kerrimcilroy4096]

Cant believe how big banksy is beautiful cat

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

Are you going to "archive" your wedding dress now that you have gotten it cleaned? They seal it in acid-free packaging in a lovely box as a keepsake or for your children to wear at their weddings .....

[@JackBoBack]

I am good, I am watching with my fiancee, it is her birthday tomorrow!

[@sandraalston7863]

Americans call it baking soda, to us Brits it's bicarbonate of soda so you were correct 😊

[@michaelsherck5099]

Good call on having a professional plaster your walls. It's maddening to learn to do yourself and takes far longer than any reasonable person would tolerate. 😊 For Christmas I would like to see you make a snowman. 😅 Yeah, I know: but come on, it was funny! Just imagine getting that much snow... I think the highlight of my day has been Banksy's greeting. You have been greatly missed.

[@leahmulliner6422]

Silent watcher here! I own a dog treat business and watch you whilst I bake! - I'm excited for a fucking break!!! hehe

[@Flo-18]

❤

[@irener1111]

I was looking at that wine glass picture and thinking, that’s not very Grace, she doesn’t even drink and the next minute you pull it off the wall and comment on it! Crazy!

[@sandrahaycock8471]

Alas I will likely spend Christmas in hospital. Never posted before. How about a couple of kittens…

[@Greg55bona]

I’m a silent viewer. Looking forward to Vlogmas

[@bridgwll]

Just take one tea bag out of the box.

[@caleb9190]

Will we ever get to see Mr Grack?

[@Onlythenarrowroad]

Bicarbonate and baking soda are the same thing.

[@bimaloxley]

Ohh how did you find out that the wallpaper had asbestos?

[@lenamoo5082]

We paid someone to take samples and then get it removed. It was pretty spenny!

[@AshleahGaming]

Silent watcher: we are going to our first Christmas winter wonderland! And what I’m most excited for…. The Yorkshire pudding wraps!!! It’s at bluewater shopping Center and the tickets aren’t that expensive!

[@chl_0k]

I dont know much about how ovens and air fryers work, or science but my intuition is telling me the airfryer sucked all the water molecules out of the chocolate so it wasnt able to melt it when you switched to the oven. I dont think there was enough wet particles left for them to melt.. the fat and sugar baked or fried and solidifed instead of turning liquidy...someone please confirm in a more sciencey way?😅😬🙈

Hi, I have 2 infected ears from the water at the font at Salisbury cathedral and I blame the bishop. Just want some Christmas hamster puppies. Minnie, daisy and (bath) abi are awaiting boys.
