The dyers behind Garnstories are German and they call skeins of yarn that are sort of "one hit wonders" ,i.e. not repeatables, "Bunter Hund". I´m still doing research on the Christmas Pickle which is totally unknown here in the south of Germany were I live. It looks like the tradition originates from the US but is linked to German immigrants and thus thought to be of German origin all the way. Love checking out details like that. Thank you for the inspiration, Ali!
From one of your silent followers, thank you for sharing 2023 and Vlogmas. Your channel is one of my favorites, I really enjoy it! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with creativity, lots of familymoments and all in good health. Greetings out of the Netherlands, Marjan. 🌷
I've got blue and silver sparkly nails! Wanted something a little different to red or green. Just look at the length of your nails now! They are looking fab! What a beautiful gift from Switzerland! All your gifts are so thoughtful but especially your glass.
I have finally caught up with your Vlogmas episodes and am so thrilled that you received my little surprise before Christmas - yay ☺ It makes me so happy to see your joy when you received the glass. I found it at a second hand website in Switzerland and legally purchased it (although I know nothing about its previous life and how its seller acquired it. It might have been rehomed from a pub at some stage in its existence 🤭). The yarn from Garnstories is named "Bunter Hund" (colorful dog) and is a one of a kind skein. As I am only now catching up with your Vlogmas, I did not know about your advent calendar from "A Homespun House" until I started watching. So it was actually a coincidence, that I sent you the yarn from Molly. I just thought you might like it - lucky guess 🤣 I also love all the other presents you received - especially the little chicken stitch markers. They are too cute. Thank you again for your wonderful videos and wholesome entertainment. I really enjoy following you and your family around - you are an inspiration and such a wonderful person. Thank you!
I just have this big smile on my face now. It was such a joy watching you open the packages, each one carefully thought of by the giver with special meaning to you! I remember your pizza and wine meet up with your friend. That’s cute too! Have fun! 🧶🎄❄️❤️
I was always a big fan of chair rails when the children were small. They saved many a scuffed wall! Funny to hear you buying eggs at the farm shop when you usually have so many! Ours always went off lay in the winter months and came back with a vengeance in the Spring! Take care x
What lovely thoughtful pressies. The yarn reminded me of red tulips, or maybe that's the Baileys taking, lol. 😂 Give Mia a hug from me please. Can't believe Vlogmas is nearly over. See you tomorrow/today, (it's 1.05am here in Liverpool). 😊😊😊
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas. You are giving me so much joy when I can watch bits from your daily life. Thank you for being one of the constants in my life ❤
Love those blue nails! My nail tech used to call the shape I like 'squoval' ie squarish oval. The perfect shape for busy hands 😊 Merry Christmas to you and the family 🎉
You received some lovely gifts Ali, they are all beautiful. Thank you so much for all the work that goes in to making vlogmas, it's been wonderful to see your daily vlogs. 🥰
Wishing you all a "Very Merry Christmas Ali" Have loved watching all your great xmas vlogs, thank you, and enjoy the festive season with all the family. 🎅🎄⛄🥁xxx
I was just enjoying the extra wiggling when my name came up! Thankyou so much, it was just so much fun. The thing I often think about your vlogs is how kind you are and seeing you with your gifts I thought (as I’ve just said to Gayna) “we get the friends we deserve and you deserve the best” - simple as that! Thankyou Ali, as always. Xx
What kindness in friends that appreciate your wonderful vlogs nice to see the gorgeous glass in your hand once again enjoy every time you use it Poor Dan can’t carry the veggie basket 🤣😂 his expression said it all 💙❤️

I live in the northwest of Germany and have never heard of a Christmas pickle either 🤷♀️

Hi Ali! The yarn is called "Bunter Hund" which means "colourful dog"! Greetings from Germany and merry Christmas! 🎄
Christmas count down now and the exchange of your grandmother’s wedding ring I think. 🎄🎄
Love those blue nails! My nail tech used to call the shape I like 'squoval' ie squarish oval. The perfect shape for busy hands 😊 Merry Christmas to you and the family 🎉
I am catching up with my favourite vlogmass's over New Year. The year kinda got away from me. Thanks to you and your family for keeping me company. 😊
I think you deserve any and all wonderful things…each and every day! 💕💕

Beautiful nails match the beautiful yarn, how cool is that! 🧶
I love that you got a mug like the one you loved! That's so awesome ❤ merry Christmas, y'all!!
I'm glad you like your gifts 🎁😊 and you got so many lovely gifts, the lever back chicken stitch markers you got can be worn as earings 🐔
The irony of the cat's name gas only just struck me: in Spanish Mia neans mine! And you're always definite that shes not yours! It made me smile...😉
Happy Christmas favorite family. I'm a big fan of chair rails (if they are at the correct height, and your rail looks perfect.)
Merry Christmas Ali and family have a lovely time. I loved Dan's side eye to the camera 😆 I've loved your vlogmas thank you.
What beautiful unexpected gifts. It’s easy to be nice/good to you, you have no idea how special you are. Ask Dan, he’ll remind you 🤗🥰
