Frosty Walks & Embarrassing Moments | Vlogmas Day 9

[@lidet19]

Seeing Joe and Amanda walking arm-in-arm is precious. I often wonder how families interact with like "in-law" family members. Love it!!

[@kaelinlouisesimpson2409]

Lovely to see Joe with Amanda, feels like a cross-over episode 😂💕

[@jodyelmer283]

I love that over the last 10 years I’ve gotten to see Alfie’s and Zoe’s relationship grow. It’s truly been a joy.

[@eviexx4945]

Alfie is on a roll! What amazing timing for a Zoella Christmas vlog! We all love you and your family so much and are so grateful ❤

[@llinossmiles]

I don’t usually comment, but it would be lovely to see a Grandparent Q&A with Amanda and Nick 😊💖

[@aleszt9372]

It's so cute that Alfie reads so many comments and then tells Zoe about them 🥰 ALSO you know it's cold COLD, when you see Alfie Deyes in a puffer jacket 😂

[@skyerebecca-sarah4342]

Alfie’s face the second time the battery flashed has my dying 😂😂😂😂 I’ve rewatched it 5 times 😂😂

[@rianguerta]

This is going to be incredibly surreal for Ottie to watch when she gets older 🥹 A video diary of her sweet family 🤍

[@Lucy-lu9ps]

I would love to watch my parents at this age! How amazing for Ottie 💛

[@alicebladen5129]

I don't usually comment but these vlogs are the most wholesome, joyous, humble and brilliantly edited ❤️❤️

[@angelsfox9869]

I was extremely confused by the whole "sledge" business when it was first mentioned, but now that you explained more, I understand what you mean! The plastic thing with string that kids sit on to go down snowy hills, Americans say "sled". Zoe's description of sleighs was spot on, a sleigh is the horse drawn carriage or Santa type vehicle.

[@TheBeatlesToday]

Yes, was just about to comment this!

[@toyhawheeler5077]

You should put your times on the puzzle bags so that when Alfie’s family have a go with them, you can all race against each other x

[@olahuk]

Thank you for speaking up about your experience and journey with anxiety. I have memories of watching your content at 11 and being able to finally understand the feelings I may be feeling and realising that maybe I am normal for experiencing them and that if I speak up to anyone, I will not be ignored and that my feelings are very much appreciated and I am listened to. At 18, at uni, taking Chemistry at a great university, I realise that a few years ago I may have felt that I would not be able to reach this far in my life and be doubting myself, but today I am happy and enjoying every part of it. Thank you for sharing your journey and in a sense being there along with me during mine. Just know that speaking up does help, and that many viewers benefit from associating a part of their life with you. Lots of love!!

[@SoniasWay]

Those embarrassing moments are actually cute. Thanks for these wholesome vlogs!

[@michelledrake6920]

Me over here trying to lip read at 30:21 for five minutes and not succeeding 😂

[@SquishSquish]

Hahaha same here

[@bellemdm]

I feel like she said something about “I sh*t my pants ….” 😂

[@TheBrookethompson]

Something smashed my tits is what I got 😂😂

[@Crystall1961]

Ohhhh I was waiting for a comment like this so I could say I re-watched it twice myself trying to do the same thing! 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jessrobertson5063]

Hahahah me too! I think she said “when you smashed Maddies tits in the escape room 😂”

[@alletrelles]

I cant believe there was a time when zoe posted two videos every day in December! Vlogmas and on her zoella channel. That might have been such a crazy time for her! Im loving this year's vlogmas!! Is giving me all the feels.

[@annasophieb.734]

I love that after so many years, Zoe’s vlogmas is as much a Christmas tradition for me as opening advent calendars. I love to sit down with a cup of tea and a treat and watch vlogmas. such a cozy and peaceful daily ritual ❤

[@skylarG22]

Zoe saying “this isn’t what anyone wants to watch” while doing puzzles vs me getting the insane satisfaction watching her doing puzzles 🤤😂

[@Lauren-qm4gp]

It's so funny cause anytime you say "this is just not content people want", it's always something I'm really enjoying watching or listening to. Hahah! ♥

[@broganbabyrebscomiskey7769]

I’m absolutely loving your vlogmas! I’ve been watching since I was about 14.. I’m now 27 and have a 18 month old daughter, literally grew up along side you, I stopped watching KZbin for ages but now I look forward to your vlogmas’ every night now! I’m currently going through my daughters clothes and changing to the next size up (any parent knows that this is a HUGE task) so now I have company I guess, thank you! ♥️

[@PattiClarkWunder]

Aww Amanda and Joe walking arm and arm was just the cutest.

[@rashiyu]

Ngaw Alfie feeling like he was being judged for being a bad parent 🥹 He’s such a good dad! Thanks for being so relatable guys 🤍

[@Fiobo823]

Zoe , you might think your fart was bad, but here's mine :D I had my son and was still in the hospital. I'd gone to the vending machine and the husband of a lovely mum who was on the same ward came out of the lift, and we started walking back together. He was rather posh, an architect, but absolutely lovely. Now what nobody tells you, is that after giving birth you can be left with a lot of air inside, and that at some point, it's coming out. As we walked along the long corridor back to the ward, this fart began. And would not stop. I had absolutely no control over it whatsoever, and it remains to this day the longest and loudest fart I have ever achieved :D And the architect just raised his voice and talked right over it as if this happens to him every day :D I could never quite look him in the eye after that, I was so mortified. I can see the funny side now obviously, but it took a while :D I think it might have broken records, possibly even the sound barrier :D

[@gracem3921]

me and my mom watch vlogmas every evening together thanks for being the highlight of our days, this is one of our favourite yet :)

[@dianacameron167]

I’m so relieved to hear you say Ottie is a normal toddler! I have a 20 month old and the tantrums are getting intense, every time I’m watching your videos she seems so serene and chilled. I know it’s just snippets of your day but I genuinely thought it looked too good to be true 😂 nice to know every parent experiences the same thing. I have watched you for 10 years and it’s amazing to see you now celebrating Christmas as a family. I love when I put my wee boy in bed and get in bed with my tea and watch your vlogmas, I look forward to it all day 😊 x

[@josh14v8]

QUESTION FOR YOU BOTH: With your house what is your favourite space and where have you made the best memories in your house. Will we ever get to see a series of your house Reno? Massive fan of you guys!

[@Miss.Adventures]

American here and we call what you described a Sled. A sledge to me is a sledge hammer you use to bust down walls.

[@simplypaul8681]

A sled in the uk is a sledge, different word, same object

[@sallyannc3176]

Yes - but in the UK it's a 'sledge' to go down snowy hills (sometimes shortened to 'sled'). We have a sledge-hammer too - but that has nothing to do with snow!

[@NaomiElizabeth96]

I love now she doesn’t think we want to see her do puzzles cos honestly I do want to see the puzzles xx

[@beccabeccy1164]

It’s not a Zoe and Alfie funny moment, but a moment from Zoe’s vlogs - the time when mark was spinning a plate and hit his head had me in stitches for ages! 😂 and the Gwen Stefani edit after, I always remember that 😅

[@arnikad3794]

The convo at the beginning about what you call a sledge… in the US we call it a sled.. and a sleigh is the thing Santa uses… lol The toddler stage is so fun and demanding al at the same time! And Ottie is the cutest! ❤

[@fallinlove51]

Got a question for Alfie: How have you learned to support your partner throughout the years, as she learns to use her tools from therapy to manage her anxiety?

[@Leah-sn5kx]

I really love the new vibe of the vlogs! Having Alfie contribute and be involved makes it feel like a family channel. Have you considered possibly getting into family vlogging or creating a separate family channel? I have been watching both of your videos for years and have been really enjoying both of your different styles of video making, so now having them merged into one is so interesting to watch. So proud of you as well for making the commitment and actually going through with it! I am sure that your future selves will be very thankful for the memories❤

[@Gohappygirl]

I love that even joe is close with alfie fam

[@thatonesingergirl]

I've been watching your vlogmas since I was a teenager. They bring me such comfort to listen to while I take care of my kids now.

[@gabrielle4903]

I’m already grieving the vlogmas loss at the end of the month. I just love seeing little snippets of y’all’s beautiful life I’ll be so sad when it’s gone. Thank y’all both for sharing with us! 🤍

[@Orintaxo]

Love the puzzle advent calendar! have already requested this for next year. I also love those moments where you're laughing so much you cry with your other half/best friend!! Those moments are the best

[@Peezil]

Just as a parent, when we see toddlers or any children “losing it” I always have such sympathy and think to myself - I’ve been there, be strong mum and dad!!

[@YayaBolender]

What is amazing is that after so many years and some life changes for all of us including you both, we still appreciate so much your videos and we still laugh along. My mother who passed away not long ago really liked your videos too and she was not a KZbin person at all.

[@jadenkoren8338]

It is crazy to think I have been watching you all since I was in middle school and I'm about to graduate college! Your family is so beautiful. Also, we call it a sled in America :) that's probably what it was

[@MeganJay22]

I promise you Alfie, every parent walking by was sending you positive thoughts but pitying the hell out of you! They either remember or are in it themselves.

[@Loveformakeup100]

Vlogmas with Zoe just makes Christmas so much better ❤

[@miacarter-jonson6409]

Thank you Zoe for deciding to do Vlogmas this year and creating the mood. And thank you Alfie for making it happen

[@evieh4468]

wooo vlogmas day 9 is here!!! these vids bring so much comfort, thank you zoe and alfie 💞💞

[@sina7228]

It's so funny watching Zoe and Alfie laughing about Zoe not charging her batteries. 😂

[@layoverbear]

just so you know alfie, whenever i pass a screaming child and disgruntled parent, i never think Oh what a shit parent. i just feel terrible for everyone involved lmaoo

[@leahk9943]

Anytime something funny or memorable happens I write in on a piece of paper, fold it up, and toss it in a jar then read them all at the end of the year. ❤

[@Pink90132]

I love how yall were matching on your walk again!

[@sarahjanecross4637]

We Definitely say sledge in the uk - “let’s go sledging”.

[@alex_kilgore]

Zoe is the first person I ever watched on KZbin starting in 2014 when I was around 22 years old and really struggling with my anxiety and a friend told me that her videos might help me. I truly admire and appreciate all you have shared in your journey with anxiety

[@dyz220]

its rly nice seeing you guys answer questions, healing all our inner children with deeper questions

[@tammypearce956]

I’m from Newfoundland, Canada and if it’s plastic, it’s a slide and if it’s wooden it’s a toboggan. I love hearing how different people can call the most common things. 😊

[@Claudia_K.]

You’re a part of my life since 2014. Back then I struggled a lot, couldn’t even go to work, but your videos gave me so much comfort. Now I’m all good and I’m so thankful for your dedication to KZbin, even though you’ve branched out to other businesses. 👌🏼 This vlogmas is a daily staple for me, my 30 or so minutes to myself after a long day at work plus being a mum to a toddler. Thank you. x

[@fionabowen5263]

Been isolating for the last week after testing positive for Covid… your vlogs give me something to look forward to each day!

[@lydiahadley5934]

My questions are: Do your employees work from home mostly like you and Alfie or are they in the office everyday? Do you have any funny stories when people have come up to you on the streets? Do you recognized a ton? Love you guys! ❤

[@mahamkhan2247]

i started speaking a lot when i was 6 months old, and my brothers at about a year, so my mother never really described the issue of a child not being able to communicate what they want exactly to us. I never even thought about it until Alfie said that Ottie is at the age where she's starting to understand what she wants but can't communicate it and so gets fussy and distressed, esp with the teething. I imagine being a parent must feel like being a highly specialized radio that gets trained to tune into their child's frequency to try and decipher what they need xD and smth tells me its always a bit of a challenge, even when they grow up! Mad props to y'all

[@2lisabarth]

53yr of from the US and these Vlogs just make my heart happy!!!

[@aislingdoyle4114]

I love your vlogmas videos, makes me feel more festive!!!! Zoë where is your top from in the Q+A at the end of the video? I really like it❤️

[@janemacmurchy9857]

Alfie should definitely put some VH1 style Pop Ups in the vlogs ❤😂

[@vickyv2052]

Get Zoe 5 spare camera batteries for Christmas please!!!!!

[@chloeedwards1684]

Would you ever consider talking about your feeding journey with ottie ? With you talking about a lactation specialist, I went to one too, interested in your experience. Much love, vlogs are ace !

[@oli806]

I would absolutely love to see a garden renovation, you could do something truly amazing with a garden that size ✨✨

[@lvince101]

In the US we call it a sled! 😘

[@MllxSawa]

I love watching these vlogs! There is so much joy and happiness, thank you ! ♡

[@Meganbrown94]

Alfie editing out the funny moment when zoe said he could keep it in 😐 WHAT WAS IT? Also have to say Vlogmas is my favourite thing leading up to Christmas! thank you both for putting in so much work xxxxx

[@RachelDex]

A sledge and a sleigh are two different things. We go sledging on the wooden or plastic sledges. Santa rides on a sleigh. They are very different

[@fabric.soundz]

Earth Signs need that perfect outdoor garden 🪴 try creating a greenhouse or hydroponic alternatives. So many ideas 😊

[@Missylou_art]

We call it a sled in the states. These cozy, festive clogs brighten my day. Ottie is the cutest little sweet pea.

[@StaceyRandle1985]

The thing I remember is you pointing to get Alfie to pass you something and he was laughing at your old hand! 😂

[@dianeslater9316]

its defo a sledge in the uk you are right zoe x x x

[@meganellajean]

I would love to see a video where you and Alfie talk about your routines now vs before Ottie, as well as how you thought you would parent before Ottie vs how you parent now. I have been working as a full time Nanny for 4 months to a now 3 year old and an 11 month old, and honestly it has discouraged me from having children. I applaud my parents and everyone who has ever raised children, it is SO hard!!! I feel as if my sense of freedom will forever be gone once I have children. I have found I tend to stay in the house (even though I am able to take them with me anywhere I go) out of fear that one of them will have a tantrum, or me not being able to handle them by myself. Not being able to run to the grocery store quickly, or pop to get a coffee in a timely manner. Like how do you even go in to the gas station to pay for gas (I’m from Canada) with children in the car??!!! Another thing I have noticed is the way I thought I would parent vs how I am now. Although I am not their mother, I feel as if my personality and parenting style has already reflected on them! But I do find myself reacting to situations differently than how I thought I would. Children are all so different and the way you handle a situation definitely doesn’t work for all!!! This has discouraged me because of how particular I am and find it very difficult to ‘go with the flow’. I like routine and consistency and things like this is definitely someone you lose with children.

[@tatersprecious5827]

In America it's a SLED. We go sledding. The pastic (or wood, if you're fancy) things you sit on are sleds. The sleighs are pulled by horses, and they exist, too. That's the Santa thing, where more people can sit in it and it's on big skis. But a sledge? Nah. Do you go sledging? 😂

[@tiffcat1100]

Adult daughter and I have just started a new pre-Xmas tradition, her coming to me for a Swiss cheese fondue (with white wine & brandy in) and today we are going to repeat the experience plus do Xmas cards together (first time ever). My huge frost-decked fir trees outside match exactly my flocked Xmas tree! ❄️🌟❄️🌟❄️🌟❄️

[@MissBambiiiiiiiiiiii]

I remember the day I watched her anxiety video where she cried. I had anxiety myself and it was so strange seeing someone so successful and well known opening up about this thing that many people secretly struggle with. It was a surreal comforting moment. I often wonder how her mental health journey is going so it was amazing to hear an update yesterday. I feel like I have grown up with Zoe, we are the same age, and this time of adulthood where we feel more in control is just so amazing to feel.

[@nyxxiepixxie]

As a non human parent, i do feel bad when either mum or dad have to deal with the kid chucking a tantrum. Sorry alfie felt that way, i reckon those people were feeling the same. Both are really great parents.

[@alinapapay1990]

Great Milestone for Zoe: getting mentioned in a Gilmore Girls Episode (one of the "the a year in the life" episodes) :-)

[@emmavarteresian5184]

In America we call them sleds! A sleigh is like fancy for Santa lol.

[@alinaalam9123]

Zoe plz do a round up of your ceramics collection too, would love to see that

[@ale.marmon]

I literally cry laugh with you telling the zoom call story xDDDDD you're the best guys thanks for the vlogmas!! 💙

[@Shazathome]

You could get little boxes/cloth bags and make Amanda an advent calendar for next year with the puzzles xx

[@riomcgonigle]

❤ loved joe and Amanda so cute ❤

[@bora5253]

Who is Joe?

[@veronicaz13]

Who knew a UK winter could look that beautiful? Makes me wanna move there😅

[@harrietoakley8954]

Been looking forward to this all day

[@lisabrown4101]

Yes sled is one two people and sleigh is Santa -Father Christmas Ride 😂lol😂

[@christineocMUA]

Zoe! Give the colour wow dreamcoat a try on your hair. I have curly hair that I often straighten and I know the frizz struggle when out and about! You spray it all over the hair Before blow drying / applying heat and I do find it makes it much more sleek and almost coats it to protect against humidity if that makes sense. X

[@largok1255]

In the USA, we say sled or to go sledding with a hard D. I love the way you say it in the UK.

[@opalsmush5410]

We definitely say sledge 😂 or maybe it's a South of England thing as im from Hastings! Haha

[@HeyItsHayleigh]

Loving your vlogs this year Zoe!! Thank you for making all our lives a little extra festive ❤

[@stephaniehendry]

Just wanted to say, Alfie, you’re doing an amazing job of editing Zoe’s vlogs! Honestly, you could have just never told us you were editing and I would’ve thought it was just Zoe still! Thank you guys for tag teaming it though. I’m from England but relocated to canada and always get homesick and miss my family during the holiday season, these vlogs really help me through that homesickness ❤️

[@indie1885]

Everyone I know in America (east coast) says "sled". A sleigh is what Santa Claus rides in lol

[@nerdpie9]

This was one of my favorite vlogmas vids since that first bruges trip (that vlog put bruges on my bucket list bc of the pizza cheese and nail game)!! It's surreal being an audience member for ten years.. I feel like I've grown up with you guys, evolved and flourished along side. And seeing Ottie join the vlogmas tradition this year has been so exciting, like I'm meeting my friends kid for the first time. I love when you guys answer questions- and tell it like it is, farts and all, because life is messy, and that's okay. Love you guys, boop nala on the snoot for me. P.S. Sleds are what we americans call a "sledge". A sleigh would be for like a bunch of people to be dragged about in the snow by some animal, and a sled is for a couple kids to fly down a snowy hill, AKA sledding. Love you!!

[@laurad4003]

These vlogmas videos have honestly been the highlight of my day at the moment so thank you ❤️

[@simsimran]

Im also from the UK and I say sledge!!!!! hahahaha.....also when you guys started laughing, it just me start laughing too hahahaha

[@justyna7043]

'A sledge is a vehicle that conveys loads or passengers over snow or ice, often pulled by draught animals whole a sleigh is a sledge drawn by horses or reindeer, especially one used for passengers. The main difference between sledge and sleigh is that the term sledge mainly occurs in British English.' So there you go, problem solved! Love English language 🙄🤪 Happy Christmas everyone!! 🤩

[@carlybennett7458]

We call it Sled/ sledding in America not a sleigh.

[@jenniferhamilton5474]

Sled

[@monika-2958]

And in Australia we would call the little plastic one a sled 🛷

[@sallyannc3176]

Nope - a 'sleigh' is drawn by horses. In the UK 'sledge' is what we sit on to go down a snowy hill - the English sometimes call it a 'toboggan' but in Scotland it's always a 'sledge'!

[@andreea0621]

Thank you Alfie for editing the vlogs. We owe you💗💗💗

[@LaurenDonald]

I love nothing more than a long Zoe vlog, especially at Christmas 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🥹🥹🥹❄️❄️❄️❄️

[@bonniebelles7558]

Zoe do you ever visit Wiltshire? See your dad etc etc.. I always remember you "driving home for Christmas" and just wondered if you are doing that this year with Ottie ❤️

[@SubtleAmberLights]

Loved the Q&A! The lactation consultant story made me secondhand cry laugh 😂

[@oliviaowens291]

Where I'm from (Kentucky, USA) we don't even call it a sleigh. We call it a sled. And we say "We're gonna go sledding." A sleigh is like Santa's sleigh, which is much bigger and pulled by animals.

[@leisabrady5384]

When my girl was teething the GP said to me and I quote “ if adults went thru the pain that babies go thru when teething they would all be in hospital being sedated. Hence why we can’t remember getting our molars etc”. I always remember that and makes sense. Loved the vlog as per usual. The fun interaction at the end made me laugh so hard. Once you have a baby you really don’t care or get embarrassed about any bodily functions. Sending love and thanks again for doing daily vlogmas I know it’s a lot but it’s just the best. Love you guys love leisa Western Australia xxxx

[@paulinajaramillo4398]

Loveee the vids! Would also love a house tour with all of the Christmas decorations during vlogmas ! Thought of that during the Q&A 🥳💗💗💗

[@ScarlettOh709]

Americans call a sledge a sled. Piece of plastic with string on it 😂
