Dumping your 9 month old baby with a STRANGER on Christmas (or ever) is absolutely insane. They really don’t care about their child. Actually really sad.
I was a single mother, years ago. I talked the small local toy store into letting me clean and paint their house in exchange for toys for Christmas 🎄 It worked and the kids were happy!
YOU are so smart and it is great you did whatever you needed to do to make a great Christmas for your kids. I love bartering services for something else. In another life, which I shall return to, I traded legal services for all kinds of things, like repairing my fence, fix electrical, etc. for ppl that were losing their homes to foreclosure and could not afford an atty. Some f-d me in the end even though performed miracles -easy in NY at the time and with judges on Long Island who are anti-lender. o I had to stop-I was new (late in life) and someone told me don't do it BC some ppl will not come through once you got the stuff done . Idiots! In NY, you can drag it out for years! even if you can not afford. Lenders then buckle BC a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and would forgive sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Bartering good and/or services is awesome, and how things used to be "paid for" before money was used. Good for you! Glad you found a way to make your kids happy! Happy holidays! ⛄
The ones who say “your artwork is S#$t anyway” after being told they have to pay have the same energy as men who say “well, you’re ugly/fat anyway” after being turned down for a date!
As an artest iv herd my arts shit for almost 20 years and i had times its made me insane amounts of money and witht that is small vs the amount of people who want "free" art in witch for some iv made sketvhes for free ^_^ and theres art peojects i stil have that people havent paid for :D lol
hahaha I was never called fat/ugly for refusing a bloke, just a slag. Not sure they got past junior school when it came to their education, well it was either that or they were Gene Hunt fans.
Ans 9 times of 10 it’s after they send and “eggplant” pic, too. I hate dating apps. Based on the comments here, it sounds look a certain population of all people need to learn how not to lash out when rejected and/or just grow up. Or you know-not be a jerk- and handle LIFE in general.
I was a single mom for a long time. I worked my butt off to make sure my daughter had a good Christmas. I could NEVER imagine trying to blame someone else, who has nothing to do with my daughter, for 'ruining her Christmas'. Ppl are INSANE
This is very typical. I was babysitting 2 boys for 4 EUR hour their mother was private dentist she didn't wanted me to work with real contract I don't only babysitting them I teach them maneers going to grocery store with them etc . Many wealthy people use poor people for almost slave labor kind of jobs .
It’s despicable. As a mother of 3, I could not imagine EVER missing a single Christmas, birthday, milestone - even whenever they stay overnight at grandparents houses, I’m very ready to have them back home within 24 hours. That’s just me. And, what I feel like most loving, good parents feel. To wish for, and do anything else is unacceptable. Sorry, not sorry lol.
Easiest way to tell if someone you know is a prick…if NOTHING is ever their fault…*alarm bells*… A rare mark of maturity are those people who either when a screw up happens acknowledge, accept responsibility then without qualm work to rectify. The danger is where “doormats” let these people who are NEVER wrong make them think things are there fault In this modern era, the wisest is when someone makes a mistake and someone calls them out on it, be open to any evidence they are trying to present, work with them to understand, politely point out evidence that shows wether it wasn’t actually their fault, or at the least acknowledging where their actions may have contributed to the negative situation…
@@trayolphia5756 My mother always has an excuse as to why she cant or didnt do something, and its always because someone else did/didnt do something, or someone else never or always did.... its never because SHE didnt feel like it or SHE forgot or SHE didnt know about it. Not only is it always because someone else messed up or did something to prevent her from being able to do what she was supposed to do, but she also has these excuses literally for everything, unless it involves sitting in front of the tv all day or playing her computer card games while she is in front of the tv, and forget about her doing any kind of favors for someone else if this favor requires effort, or getting off the couch. She is famous for going to wash her laundry (which is usually 3 tshirts, 1 pant and 2 small towels, very small loads) and if there is already clothes in the machine, washed or not, she will take them out and put them in a pile on the floor or in a basket and never tell the person she did that, or they need to get hung to dry or whatever, so since we live in Florida, where its humid and sticky hot, clothing that is piled up all wet and in a warm dark place will get nasty mold real quick. I always end up having to rewash my things over and she ends up blaming me for her water or electric bill going up and thats why she cant get the dryer fixed or do any other random house repairs! Its so ridiculous, its annoying as hell
The people at 5:40 looking for someone to take care of their youngest while travelling should've NEVER become parents. Wow...you cannot just dispose your child like that
Unfortunately too many people put their wants and needs before what’s best for their child. Although that baby would likely be better off with strangers for what would be their first ever Christmas. Man people suck
When I was a small child we were very poor and there wasn't money for me to buy presents for my mother, so she'd send me with a shopping list of normal household things we needed then tell me to wrap them. She'd act so surprised and excited when she opened them. I was small enough that I only saw there were loads of presents for me. Looking back I realized she basically went to a dollar store. My point is that as an adult those are some of my best Christmas memories. She made the absolute most of what we did have and Christmas to me was more about the excitement of giving and opening gifts than the cost of gifts themselves. It saddens me when people are so entitled and focused on an expensive item because obviously they've never experienced the kind of fun we had.
If the mom looking for a sitter has "an actual job" then why can't she pay her?? 😅😅 Grown adults that throw tantrums because they don't get their way make my blood boil. Especially when they lash out like that. Wtf is the logic? You didn't want to work for me before so maybe if I insult you you'll change your mind? Karen logic is wild.
As a kid, I used to look forward to the stocking stuffers! This was back in the '60's. I'd get stuff like a Timex watch, a string of cultured pearls, a pen and pencil set in a velvet box, plus a pair of 'lefty' scissors plus the usual chocolate coins, a silver dollar or 2, and other candies.
I loved stocking stuffers and still do! It´s so nice to get a little surprise every day. Like even just a little candybar or something. My mom used to fill our stockings with a piece or 2 of candy almost every day of december, so sometimes we´d just save the candy till we had a little pile, and then enjoy our little hoard.
As a kid i loved what was in my stocking, little toys, trinkets, loads and loads of chocolate and a grapefruit, as a teen i got socks i didn't have to buy, lotions and perfume samples 😂 little bits of chocolate. Now as an adult i don't get a stocking but still love the stocking stuffer ideas
@@shellybairstow9124 My mom's contribution was a navel orange in each stocking, plus some chocolates and toffees. The more expensive gifts were usually from my dad.
@@staceykersting705 yep, same here. Mom was trying to to the grocery shopping and dad found toys and such. First time experienced a blood orange because my mom grabbed the wrong fruit. It was delicious. Lol
How some people think that "Christmas spirit" means demanding that others have to give THEM (rather than they give to other, at their discretion), is the epitome of entitlement. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Charlotte!
@@marshawargo7238 Indeed, and I know others who do same. Just as it can be important to teach children to give TO others from what they choose to share from what they have ("choose" being the operative word here), and to learn the joy of giving, rather than the hollowness of entitlement. It doesn't mean not having stuff that is yours to keep, but it DOES mean respecting that others have what is theirs, too, AND that one is not entitled to something another person has just because they covet it ... Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@marshawargo7238 Right?! Christmas for me and my family is GIVING not what we get or even get back *from* giving. Weird how this is a crazy concept for some. Merry Christmas, y'all!
It’s amazing. The Christmas spirit is about giving & serving others, helping the less fortunate, realizing how blessed we truly are and being thankful for it while also doing what we can to bless others, and spending time with the people we love. The fact that these people think it means that people should just give things to them is crazy. I can’t believe the number of people that are trying to get something for their children, aren’t willing to pay the price that it costs, have told their child they can have it before they get it, then tell the kid they can’t have it because some “horrible” person won’t give it to them, and then freak on said person. Also, just because you’re “poor” (and I have this in quotes because most poor people are entitled like this so I feel like they’re lying) it doesn’t mean people should give you things, and if you can’t afford something then you probably shouldn’t be buying it. I loved when the person said that “if you can’t afford it, why are you buying at $2000 piano.” There aren’t enough good come backs to this stupidity.
I just got over Covid, but all I had was a cough. The thing is that after it was gone I had a mild stroke. My blood had thickened causing it. They say it was because of Covid but it may have been something odd about me. On blood thinners for two months and I'll be tested again after that to see if that goes away. Hopefully it will.
Did you hear about the 10 year old kid in the Midwest who forever-slept his mom and few weeks ago because she wouldn't let him buy an oculus????? Then he claimed innocence and it was ruled an assumed self inflicted-forever sleep. The next morning he bought himself the oculus at his aunts house. Then made a comment under his breath that his mom should've just bought it in the first place. His aunt heard him say that and, now worried for herself and her own kids, called the cops on him. Needless to say he's been arrested and charged with capital forever sleep.
@@barnhousedesignspa9251 I thank you for the information at the same time I think that is just stupid. Having to use euphisms for a fact is ridiculous to me. Is there any way you know of to fight this?
I am beyond baffled at both the Cro-Magnon stupidity, and inexplicable and astronomical level of entitlement. Can anyone explain to me when and how this came about? My parents were poor, hard-working blue-collar people. For most of his working life, my dad had 2 jobs: Welding and cab driver and my mother did factory labor full time. There was never enough money but we never begged for anything or expected others to carry our weight. How did this happen? What has happened to dignity and personal integrity?
Omg these people... I was a single mom for 17 years. The trick to having a good Christmas is all in your attitude. The attitude is gratitude, and if you aren't being gracious, that's your problem. Me and my kids would hand make gifts and ornaments every year. We would each do an ornament every day til Christmas when we would put the angle on the tree. It's about being together and appreciating what you have and who is there. As a Christian, or any decent person, you should all be ASHAMED!!! LOL fr tho. Wth is wrong with people.
Not only do you need to go spend, what could be, hours cleaning up the tree and her house, but you must PAY $100 for the privilege to do so! 🤣 Merry Christmas one and all!
The only set of circumstances that I can put together where it would be valid is: A) they celebrated Christmas early, so there is still an opportunity to get the tree and set it up in advance of Christmas day; and B) it's a nice, expensive tree, so it's actually worth the time, effort and money required to get it. If this is a $500+ tree in good condition a week before Christmas day, then it might be worth it, particularly if it's just around the corner from you. If it's already Christmas day, I'm not going to pay money to take out your trash.
sure i will put your decorations away and since you will be sitting in the living room the whole time i will make sure when i take them to the basement ...i will take out the lights and tangle them in a ball before putting them back in the box and put the heaviest things i can find down there right on top of the ornament box..really really hard
“You are ruining my son’s Christmas!” I have read on so many sites woman making that accusation. Does it ever work, I wonder? It is the epitome of self-centered narcissism. I think the Christmas tree sale is a joke, it has to be. I love your show! Merry Christmas 🎄!
exactly!!! in what perverted universe the well being of your prole depends on a random stranger on the internet? grow a pair and start being a decent parent! some people are unbelievable happy holidays
An entitled parent knows no gender lol I suppose it must work sometimes which is why they do it, maybe? But I dunno. I hate the thought of people giving in to that nonsense lol Merry Christmas, y'all!
Christmas tree one has to be, who would invite a stranger in their home to put away their stuff and let them go to other rooms. It's like you are asking to be robbed.
The "manager of Christmas" got me. I would have been tempted to go in and highlight all of the cells in the Google Doc, then "reply all" to let them know they could get whatever the heck they want to for whoever they want to ;) I have dealt with micromanagers in previous work environments. I don't need them in my personal life.
There has been actually research that past decade people have become more selfish and self-centered. Not sure did this change after social media became a thing but... Not just choosing beggars but.. everything. Me me me me. People go in relationship. Then you have two people who have their own jobs, own hobbies, own money to use only for themselves and everything joint has to be exactly 50/50 paid ... they basically live in same address and sleep in same bed and then wonder how it didn't work out. My bil was with his previous gf 7 yrs, lived together 6. Now i understand separate finances when you are gf/bf stage but... He has been bouncing thru jobs for years and he has really tried (so no he isn't lazyass) so in short unemployment, he was low on money in end of the month. So, this 35 yr old asked his dad for money to buy food for weekend and he pays back on Monday. He couldn't ask her gf of 7 years. And pay her back on Monday. What kind of relationship is that?
And leaving your baby with someone you don't know at all?? A total stranger?? For that long? And why did you book a vacation without having those arrangements already decided?? I have so many questions!
@@altergreenhorn why would you assume their child is an "anchor baby," which is a pretty damn offensive term. The parents actions are deplorable, but nothing about their exchange could even give an impression that one of the parents is from a foreign country? People born and raised in America can be shitty asshole parents too (as often shown here on this channel).
@@jenn8179 same! Also, why not take their 9 month old with them? Studies show the more traveled a child is, the more open to change and adaptability they become. Good traits to have IMHO.
I'm sorry you're both having to spend Christmas in the hospital but I'm glad y'all are together! Hope he has a smooth and speedy recovery! Praying for y'all! :)
When I was in high school I really wanted to learn Italian and for an entire year, I asked everyone in my family if they could get me Italian Rosetta Stone. Like pitch in together and just get me the one gift from everybody. Parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, siblings, cousins. It was the only thing I wanted, nothing else. I knew the money they were all going to spend on me combined was about the cost of one full Rosetta Stone. They kept asking me, "Why not Spanish?" Because I wanted Italian, I loved Italian culture at the time and had always wanted to visit Italy at some point. Christmas comes around, and there is one box for me, I know what it is and I'm super excited. I open it and it's Spanish. I tried to be grateful, but what visibly pretty upset. My family just kept telling me things like, "You'll never need Italian, you live in California, Spanish is more useful." Guess where I ended up stationed in 2010-2013... yeah, you guessed it Naples, Italy.
I love when ppl bring the christian thing to do into things. Especially when they are being the asshole!!!😂😂😂 Happy Holidays 🎅🏼🎁🎊🎉 Charlotte and everybody!
@@tinasnow3744 Nope, it is not lol it is a pagan holiday but even now a majority of people that celebrate have zero ties to religion at all and is purely a family holiday.
Merry Christmas, Charlotte. You cheer me up everyday no matter what is going on in my life, thank you so much for your work and the time you put in for all of us.
My daughter one year really wanted a nice digital camera(this is before camera phones) so we found her a really nice one for Christmas and when she opened it, there was no thank you, no joy, nothing. She simply opened it and moved on to the next gift. I stopped her, asked her to give me the camera then told her that because of her lack of gratitude, I was taking back the gift. She asked for how long and I told her forever. And I did. She is 21 now and is always so grateful for anything she receives from anyone.
Happy Holidays to you Charlotte! If it helps at all, tonight my hubby and I went to my sister's for Christmas Eve. I gave my niece(18) and nephew(16) a card with a gift card in each, worth $20. Money is tight right now. They opened their cards and.....thanked us both. They were genuinely pleased. Thanked us a second time too, as we were leaving. I know it wasn't much and I feel badly, because they're awesome kids. Love them so much.
I absolutely LOVE how into the character Charlotte goes into and doesn’t react to what they said until after she says it sometimes. Her reactions are always so funny 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can't tell you enough how grateful I am for this channel!! Discovered you about 6 months ago & the joy you bring to us daily is an amazing gift - thank you!!
Aww... Charlotte... You're a loved one! My wife & I love all your videos. You're such a sweetheart of a person. We wish you the happiest of Christmases and an awesome new year!!! Thank you for all the smiles and laughs!
Hi Charlotte, it’s xmas day now in Australia. How amazing and hilarious are your videos 😂😂😂 thank you so much for starting my xmas day with a bang ❤️❤️❤️
Hearing these stories…I’m actually thankful for being raised in a family which didn’t celebrate Christmas… Thus avoiding sooooooo much of the drama, and showing appreciate and gratitude for what we got out of life ALL YEAR ROUND rather than showing it on one day then being horrid the rest of the year People tend to ask me “where’s my xmas spirit?/why aren’t you more giving around this time of year?” I try to be a positive, helpful and generous person ALL YEAR ROUND…rather than being an uptight selfish prick most of the year and then generous at xmas time - I just spread that same giving attitude out over the year as my default…but that means there’s not noticeable uptick in “niceness” at the end of the year…
This sort of the way I feel about Valentine's Day: my husband and I don't do anything for it. I think it's a good excuse for someone to maybe let another person know they're interested or a way for someone to remind their spouse that they love them if things aren't going well. But if you're kind and loving with your partner all the time, then February 14th is just another day.
An older gentleman in our neighborhood came by as I was unloading some material to fix mine and our neighbor's fence. Mid-December and a falling branch had caused an impressive amount of damage. He said, as a pensioner, he had difficulty making ends meet and could use some work to help pay for Christmas. Well, sure, the work wasn't difficult. I got him a small electric saw and he got to work cutting up the tree branch. Once done, he helped pull out the old boards and remove other odds and ends. As we worked, I became more uneasy at the situation. His wife was off with the children as he could not take care of her. She was undergoing chemo and was very ill. He worked hard and had really good suggestions on how to make the fence look really good. He had never asked how much he wanted so, when the job was done, the neighborhood folks were admiring the fence as he and I talked to the side. He only wanted a few dollars. Yes, well, a few dollars my ass. I could only afford about 150. So I came up with 200 and my neighbor came up with another $100. And then, we took up a collection.... and we had slightly more than 500 when we were done. And, on Christmas day, I picked him up at 11 and drove him the 200 miles to his children's place and dropped him off (I had to go home to wife and kids). His kids (very obviously) did not have room for him and his wife (why he was home alone) so I went and picked him up after our Christmas dinner and brought him back to OUR house to continue a Christmas party FOR HIM that most of the neighborhood showed up for. It started at 9 pm as that was the time I made it back home for. He ended up falling asleep by the fire (in our old rocking chair) and everyone left quietly. Did I miss something? Like.... what Christmas is all about? My family did not mind me being away so much for Christmas. Hey! Did you folks know that 'Amazing Grace' sounds good at Christmas, too? And the money the guy made fixing the fence? He only wanted enough to send flowers to his wife! He got the flowers.. and brought them to her himself instead of having delivered. I hear these stories Charlotte brought us and..... how could they? Christmas is not about what you receive, it is about what you give (and giving time is FAR more important than money). The kids having their Christmas RUINED? Hey, another neighbor takes his kids and a HUGE box of hamburgers they make, and drive through Seattle handing them out to people on the street. He reminds his kids of how much they have in their lives. Those people vacationing in Barbados? and their child is worth next to nothing to them? Why not forego Barbados and go visit mom and dad, they'd LOVE to have their grandchild for a week or so. And FAR less expensive. Geez. The Grinch may have stolen Christmas, but Christmas stole his heart.... I almost forgot (Actually, I did forget), the neighborhood had a Christmas Eve party in front of the guy's house. We barbequed, had some cocoa and spiced apple cider, and sang. Too bad it wasn't snowing....
Girl, I’m in self-isolation right now because I’m waiting for covid test results, so my Christmas eats butts… but you gave me a chuckle, so thank you! Merry Christmas to you.
My son and fiancee caught covid just before Christmas and couldn't taste their dinner. I avoided it but caught the flu and couldn't taste anything from Boxing day. Hope you got the all clear xx
Hey, I also spent Christmas in a tiny room all by myself! After flying home all the way from Europe! 😭 Thanks Swiss people, for getting on public transport sick and without masks…
Happy Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas Charlotte!!!!! I hope you have the best holiday and make the best memories filled with love and surrounded by family and friends. All my love from Michigan ❤️
This makes me so happy that I'm Jewish, makes these so much funnier when it happens. Person: "But it's Christmas!! Don't you care??" "It's a Christain thing to give things for free!" Me: "I mean....I don't celebrate it soooo...sorry."
I gotcha one better. I'm a former pagan and an atheist. The day I celebrate is December 21st, the solstice, so why would I give them something for a non holiday?
embarrassingly, i felt entitled without thought 35 years ago, i was married and asked my rich uncle for $800, exactly what he gave my sister. omg 😱 so glad he ignored me completely and didn’t tell my mom. 😂
@@user-jy3zl2vp4b I wish we could hang out, but, I’m not on social media anymore. I also live in Mid-Missouri and there’s most likely a good possibility we don’t live in the same city. Merry Christmas and I hope you’re enjoying with family and friends!
@@davidbigd9047 Yeah, I wish there was a SINGLES ONLY restaurant or something in every city. Just so we know there are others. And yes we are several states apart, but together in shared sentiment! Have a great holiday and a Happy New Year!
I worked as a pharmacy technician and a customer came in for oxycontin. We told her that her insurance doesn't pay for it so it was 360.00. She paid it... Then came back 2 days later to ask for some of the money back even though it isn't covered so nothing we can do. She said I ruined her child's Christmas since "I made her" pay for the oxy. Um.... No your addiction to oxy made you pay for it when we said we could get your doctor to choose a different drug to give you....
Your videos always make my day! It's pretty disgusting that people get so demanding of people they don't even know just because it's the holidays. Things cost money, get over it, I doubt it'll change anytime soon.
Why do people think that their kid's Christmas is supposed to be funded by a total stranger ? I was a single mother and I always saved up for my munchkins toys and things . Is working for it a wild concept or something ? Happy New Year Charlotte ! Wishing you only the best and all the success !!
Oops. I almost ruined Christmas. Thank you, Charlotte. You really helped me get through some tough times. Happy Holidays to you and your family. I wish you continued success in the New Year.
Merry Christmas all. It's absolutely a thing in the UK for family members to all chip in on expensive gifts. I remember as a kid my one big gift from all my family being a Rally Grifter bike (showing my age) and I didn't care that that there were not lots of boxes. It was what I wanted. The message at 14 minutes is valid. It's asking people to group together and get the present really wanted above all. Even offering compromises. Everyone's name would be on the gift.
Merry Christmas Charlotte! I just love you, you crack me up. You are sooo funny. I hope 2022 finds bigger and better things for you. ( tv deal,movie,stand up) I think you are good enough for the big time girl!
Each example presented by Charlotte makes me reaffirm one of the best decisions in my life to stop "doing" Christmas years ago. Never looked back, don't regret it! X^D
My family has always been poor. So we routinely go in on gifts together for the parents gifts, anniversaries, birthdays, ect. And will give anything we think the other can use to each other if we are not needing it anymore. We list the gift as from the kids or family.
The woman is not serious about leaving her 9 momth old daughter for a week with a total stranger while she goes to Barbados AND pay peanuts so not even prepared to pay the going rate for good quality childcare. Wow!!! 😮
Seriously, having kids means your wants and desires are no longer a top priority. And they call those of us who decide not to have kids selfish? No, we appreciate the commitment required of parenting and think it unfair to the kid if we have any doubts.
My husband used to run an ebay store and I've gotten "you don't know what it's like to be a single mother!" a few times. And then I would respond with "actually, Karen, I do know what it's like to be a single mom" except they weren't called karens yet 😂 but you get the point
TRUTH OF THE MATTER.. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SO UNGRATEFUL.. IM ALONE, SITTING IN A MCDONALDS PARKING LOT.. THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING . YOU HAVE A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE WHAT MATTERS MOST..
The audacity of people never ceases to amaze me. It's mind blowing. O.K, it's nine minutes to Christmas Morning and "Santa" still has a ton of work to do before the kids wake-up. Thankfully, we chained them to their beds this year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everybody!!!
Gotta love it when Choosing Beggars assume everyone is religious and can be manipulated with it *eye roll* Anyway - dear Charlotte, hope you and everyone who reads this has an awesome Christmas, and a healthy Happy New Year! With love from England ^_^ xx
*Charlotte Dobre, bringing smiles to faces and families back together since 2020* I asked my mom for merch and found out she watches you too! She said she's a big fan of DO YOUR RESEARCH so not only do you have THREE generations of my family watching, You gave my mom and I something to bond over/both like and be able to share for the first time in a long time (we haven't really even spoken much the last 10 years) *In case anyone who sees my comments wonders. Referring to my bio mom here. Referring to step my mom in most other comments.
This may sound ackward but the Christmas tree sale is actually not such a bad idea. I am half German and I lived in a orthodox Christian neighborhood for many years as a child. Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on the 6th of January, so my family shared our Christmas tree with our orthodox neighbors - aka around the first of January our Christmas tree moved to the neighbors flat. We went to Spain anyways to celebrate Reyes with the family and the neighbors needed a tree - win win. During the last couple of years I have actually seen quite a few tree swaps on Facebook groups between Catholic or Protestant families and orthodox families :-) less expenses, less tress that have to be cut, less trash afterwards :-)
*Hope everyone is enjoying their December celebrations! 🥳🥳🥳 There’s so many!* Happy (belated/future): Rohatsu, St. Nicholas Day, Hanukkah, Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Lucia Day, Posadas Navidenas, Yule, Solstice, Christmas, Three Kings Day, Saturnalia, Zarathosht Diso, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, (and birthday to my grandma)! 💗💗💗 If I missed any, let me know! 😊
Charlotte, you make me laugh every day of the year, so I consider you the gift that keeps on giving.....in a good way!!! 😊 Happy Holidays to you and yours!!! 🎄
Honestly, there was one year I couldn't afford Christmas gifts for my kids (2 in elementary 1 in middle school at that time, all boys). I crocheted each a different stuffy. The oldest got hedwig from Harry Potter, the middle got a Pokémon, the last a minion. Each was thrilled.Grandma got them more expensive things ($50 each value) kids were equally happy. Videos like this make me grateful for how truly amazing my sons are. They are equally happy with an experience, or someone's time (especially my uncles who live half way across the US from us), as they are with expensive items.
5:30 The price is ridiculous, but it's freaking me out more that they don't even want to spend the baby's first Christmas with her. 😕 If the trip is that important to them they can take the baby...
Yes, that was insane to see!! I can't imagine not only wanting someone to watch my 9 mo for that long but also trying to get that to happen at such a cut rate. Do they actually believe for that amount of money someone is gonna treat their kid well? Might even be better than her parents do if they are like that. Wtf 😳 that poor kid...
@@Winters.C I remember thinking about that after I'd commented and one of the things I considered was that the baby might have ended up in a more happy environment for Christmas than they would have if they'd stayed with the parents. x.x
Me being able to see my little sisters first Christmas was the highlight of my Christmas And I'm her BROTHER. the fact the parents dont want to is horrific to me
“I understand getting something for them but it’s not the Christian thing to do” well bucko- NOT EVERYONE IS A CHRISTIAN! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 💖
Maaaaan, I am a single mom with very little income at the moment, and I would feel SO embarrassed using that as an argument to get people to give me things. I want my kid to learn that we work for things and we are humble.
These people make me long for a giant asteroid. Happy holidays to all the cool people out there, and to everyone here, especially Charlotte and team. 🌲❤️☺️
HAPPY HOLIDAYS from me and my team! Hope ya’ll are staying healthy, warm and cozy.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS & MERRY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Holidays and a great New Year to you and yours as well :)
Merry Christmas Charlotte!!! 🎀🎁🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼☃️🥂🍾🥰😒💝💐
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Dumping your 9 month old baby with a STRANGER on Christmas (or ever) is absolutely insane. They really don’t care about their child. Actually really sad.
Facts!
I was a single mother, years ago. I talked the small local toy store into letting me clean and paint their house in exchange for toys for Christmas 🎄 It worked and the kids were happy!
YOU are so smart and it is great you did whatever you needed to do to make a great Christmas for your kids. I love bartering services for something else. In another life, which I shall return to, I traded legal services for all kinds of things, like repairing my fence, fix electrical, etc. for ppl that were losing their homes to foreclosure and could not afford an atty. Some f-d me in the end even though performed miracles -easy in NY at the time and with judges on Long Island who are anti-lender. o I had to stop-I was new (late in life) and someone told me don't do it BC some ppl will not come through once you got the stuff done . Idiots! In NY, you can drag it out for years! even if you can not afford. Lenders then buckle BC a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and would forgive sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars!
God Bless you for being the best parent ever! What a great idea to get your kids gifts! Merry Christmas!
Bartering good and/or services is awesome, and how things used to be "paid for" before money was used. Good for you! Glad you found a way to make your kids happy! Happy holidays! ⛄
*As a single mother myself, this is such a genius idea! Way to inspire us all, queen!!*
That is a dedicated and very loving mother. Amazing work Mama Pink!
The ones who say “your artwork is S#$t anyway” after being told they have to pay have the same energy as men who say “well, you’re ugly/fat anyway” after being turned down for a date!
or you know when women says you are not 6 feet tall anyways.... :D
Or when a woman says you don't make 6 figures
As an artest iv herd my arts shit for almost 20 years and i had times its made me insane amounts of money and witht that is small vs the amount of people who want "free" art in witch for some iv made sketvhes for free ^_^ and theres art peojects i stil have that people havent paid for :D lol
hahaha I was never called fat/ugly for refusing a bloke, just a slag. Not sure they got past junior school when it came to their education, well it was either that or they were Gene Hunt fans.
Ans 9 times of 10 it’s after they send and “eggplant” pic, too. I hate dating apps. Based on the comments here, it sounds look a certain population of all people need to learn how not to lash out when rejected and/or just grow up. Or you know-not be a jerk- and handle LIFE in general.
I was a single mom for a long time. I worked my butt off to make sure my daughter had a good Christmas. I could NEVER imagine trying to blame someone else, who has nothing to do with my daughter, for 'ruining her Christmas'. Ppl are INSANE
The parents who want to be away from their child for her first Christmas are CRAZY. They have no idea what it means to be a parent.
Amen
This is very typical. I was babysitting 2 boys for 4 EUR hour their mother was private dentist she didn't wanted me to work with real contract I don't only babysitting them I teach them maneers going to grocery store with them etc . Many wealthy people use poor people for almost slave labor kind of jobs .
It’s despicable. As a mother of 3, I could not imagine EVER missing a single Christmas, birthday, milestone - even whenever they stay overnight at grandparents houses, I’m very ready to have them back home within 24 hours. That’s just me. And, what I feel like most loving, good parents feel. To wish for, and do anything else is unacceptable. Sorry, not sorry lol.
Merry Christmas Charlotte and everyone else watching this video. I hope you have a good time with your family, friends and loved ones.
Thanks man, I hope you're Christmas is great as well!
Merry Christmas Seth!!
@dollaraing❤jj merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone
@@shannonb621 🤣
Love how everyone blames someone else for their problems and situations in life.
This part!!!
Omg I know a person who this comment fits
I wonder how these people would respond if you reverse it onto them and said that their ruining your life by not paying you full price?
Easiest way to tell if someone you know is a prick…if NOTHING is ever their fault…*alarm bells*…
A rare mark of maturity are those people who either when a screw up happens acknowledge, accept responsibility then without qualm work to rectify.
The danger is where “doormats” let these people who are NEVER wrong make them think things are there fault
In this modern era, the wisest is when someone makes a mistake and someone calls them out on it, be open to any evidence they are trying to present, work with them to understand, politely point out evidence that shows wether it wasn’t actually their fault, or at the least acknowledging where their actions may have contributed to the negative situation…
@@trayolphia5756 My mother always has an excuse as to why she cant or didnt do something, and its always because someone else did/didnt do something, or someone else never or always did.... its never because SHE didnt feel like it or SHE forgot or SHE didnt know about it. Not only is it always because someone else messed up or did something to prevent her from being able to do what she was supposed to do, but she also has these excuses literally for everything, unless it involves sitting in front of the tv all day or playing her computer card games while she is in front of the tv, and forget about her doing any kind of favors for someone else if this favor requires effort, or getting off the couch. She is famous for going to wash her laundry (which is usually 3 tshirts, 1 pant and 2 small towels, very small loads) and if there is already clothes in the machine, washed or not, she will take them out and put them in a pile on the floor or in a basket and never tell the person she did that, or they need to get hung to dry or whatever, so since we live in Florida, where its humid and sticky hot, clothing that is piled up all wet and in a warm dark place will get nasty mold real quick. I always end up having to rewash my things over and she ends up blaming me for her water or electric bill going up and thats why she cant get the dryer fixed or do any other random house repairs! Its so ridiculous, its annoying as hell
The people at 5:40 looking for someone to take care of their youngest while travelling should've NEVER become parents. Wow...you cannot just dispose your child like that
Right? ‘Ooh, our first christmas with our baby girl! Quick, let’s get her to a sitter for 2 weeks and leave!’
Unfortunately too many people put their wants and needs before what’s best for their child. Although that baby would likely be better off with strangers for what would be their first ever Christmas. Man people suck
Seriously! I was paid $60 a day just to watch a few CATS, let alone a human baby!!! And why would you want to miss out on 1st year milestones
Ikr?! It's so dangerous and irresponsible, feel like I've heard enough horror stories to assume an evil person would jump at that offer 😰
Lot of selfish parents out there.
When I was a small child we were very poor and there wasn't money for me to buy presents for my mother, so she'd send me with a shopping list of normal household things we needed then tell me to wrap them. She'd act so surprised and excited when she opened them. I was small enough that I only saw there were loads of presents for me. Looking back I realized she basically went to a dollar store. My point is that as an adult those are some of my best Christmas memories. She made the absolute most of what we did have and Christmas to me was more about the excitement of giving and opening gifts than the cost of gifts themselves. It saddens me when people are so entitled and focused on an expensive item because obviously they've never experienced the kind of fun we had.
If the mom looking for a sitter has "an actual job" then why can't she pay her?? 😅😅 Grown adults that throw tantrums because they don't get their way make my blood boil. Especially when they lash out like that. Wtf is the logic? You didn't want to work for me before so maybe if I insult you you'll change your mind? Karen logic is wild.
As a kid, I used to look forward to the stocking stuffers! This was back in the '60's. I'd get stuff like a Timex watch, a string of cultured pearls, a pen and pencil set in a velvet box, plus a pair of 'lefty' scissors plus the usual chocolate coins, a silver dollar or 2, and other candies.
I loved stocking stuffers and still do! It´s so nice to get a little surprise every day. Like even just a little candybar or something. My mom used to fill our stockings with a piece or 2 of candy almost every day of december, so sometimes we´d just save the candy till we had a little pile, and then enjoy our little hoard.
What no tangerines I'm shocked 😳
As a kid i loved what was in my stocking, little toys, trinkets, loads and loads of chocolate and a grapefruit, as a teen i got socks i didn't have to buy, lotions and perfume samples 😂 little bits of chocolate. Now as an adult i don't get a stocking but still love the stocking stuffer ideas
@@shellybairstow9124 My mom's contribution was a navel orange in each stocking, plus some chocolates and toffees. The more expensive gifts were usually from my dad.
@@staceykersting705 yep, same here. Mom was trying to to the grocery shopping and dad found toys and such. First time experienced a blood orange because my mom grabbed the wrong fruit. It was delicious. Lol
How some people think that "Christmas spirit" means demanding that others have to give THEM (rather than they give to other, at their discretion), is the epitome of entitlement. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Charlotte!
It's all in how they were raised! I always keep extra gifts under the tree for unexpected guests. 🎄🎁🎅🌹💕
@@marshawargo7238 Indeed, and I know others who do same. Just as it can be important to teach children to give TO others from what they choose to share from what they have ("choose" being the operative word here), and to learn the joy of giving, rather than the hollowness of entitlement. It doesn't mean not having stuff that is yours to keep, but it DOES mean respecting that others have what is theirs, too, AND that one is not entitled to something another person has just because they covet it ...
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@marshawargo7238 Right?! Christmas for me and my family is GIVING not what we get or even get back *from* giving. Weird how this is a crazy concept for some. Merry Christmas, y'all!
It’s amazing. The Christmas spirit is about giving & serving others, helping the less fortunate, realizing how blessed we truly are and being thankful for it while also doing what we can to bless others, and spending time with the people we love. The fact that these people think it means that people should just give things to them is crazy. I can’t believe the number of people that are trying to get something for their children, aren’t willing to pay the price that it costs, have told their child they can have it before they get it, then tell the kid they can’t have it because some “horrible” person won’t give it to them, and then freak on said person. Also, just because you’re “poor” (and I have this in quotes because most poor people are entitled like this so I feel like they’re lying) it doesn’t mean people should give you things, and if you can’t afford something then you probably shouldn’t be buying it. I loved when the person said that “if you can’t afford it, why are you buying at $2000 piano.” There aren’t enough good come backs to this stupidity.
Almost fully recovered from covid. And being able to watch Charlotte on Christmas morning, made my day. Merry Christmas Charlotte!
Hope you have a full recovery. Sorry you got COVID-19 and wish you a much better year in 2022:)
I just got over Covid, but all I had was a cough. The thing is that after it was gone I had a mild stroke. My blood had thickened causing it. They say it was because of Covid but it may have been something odd about me. On blood thinners for two months and I'll be tested again after that to see if that goes away. Hopefully it will.
Hoping you had the vaccine and booster! Give it to yourself for Xmas!
Did you hear about the 10 year old kid in the Midwest who forever-slept his mom and few weeks ago because she wouldn't let him buy an oculus????? Then he claimed innocence and it was ruled an assumed self inflicted-forever sleep. The next morning he bought himself the oculus at his aunts house. Then made a comment under his breath that his mom should've just bought it in the first place. His aunt heard him say that and, now worried for herself and her own kids, called the cops on him. Needless to say he's been arrested and charged with capital forever sleep.
I LOVE your wording of this. 😂
Why do you use terms like forever-sleep instead of just saying what it is -- murder? Why can't you just say words like murder, dead, etc.?
@@phillipstephens4522 UA-cam is picky and will delete comments, or ban people for comments. Or even demonetize the video.
@@barnhousedesignspa9251 I thank you for the information at the same time I think that is just stupid. Having to use euphisms for a fact is ridiculous to me. Is there any way you know of to fight this?
@@phillipstephens4522 creators have been trying to fight it for years but UA-cam just cracks down even more by adding more things they can't say.
I am beyond baffled at both the Cro-Magnon stupidity, and inexplicable and astronomical level of entitlement. Can anyone explain to me when and how this came about? My parents were poor, hard-working blue-collar people. For most of his working life, my dad had 2 jobs: Welding and cab driver and my mother did factory labor full time. There was never enough money but we never begged for anything or expected others to carry our weight. How did this happen? What has happened to dignity and personal integrity?
Could be that the internet makes it easier to just ask for things you’d never do in real life.
Omg these people... I was a single mom for 17 years. The trick to having a good Christmas is all in your attitude. The attitude is gratitude, and if you aren't being gracious, that's your problem. Me and my kids would hand make gifts and ornaments every year. We would each do an ornament every day til Christmas when we would put the angle on the tree. It's about being together and appreciating what you have and who is there. As a Christian, or any decent person, you should all be ASHAMED!!!
LOL fr tho. Wth is wrong with people.
Not only do you need to go spend, what could be, hours cleaning up the tree and her house, but you must PAY $100 for the privilege to do so! 🤣 Merry Christmas one and all!
I'm hoping that it was a prank post by the "seller"... hilarious!
The only set of circumstances that I can put together where it would be valid is: A) they celebrated Christmas early, so there is still an opportunity to get the tree and set it up in advance of Christmas day; and B) it's a nice, expensive tree, so it's actually worth the time, effort and money required to get it. If this is a $500+ tree in good condition a week before Christmas day, then it might be worth it, particularly if it's just around the corner from you. If it's already Christmas day, I'm not going to pay money to take out your trash.
but it's an 11 foot tree! 8 feet after I get it set up in my house!
sure i will put your decorations away and since you will be sitting in the living room the whole time i will make sure when i take them to the basement ...i will take out the lights and tangle them in a ball before putting them back in the box and put the heaviest things i can find down there right on top of the ornament box..really really hard
“You are ruining my son’s Christmas!” I have read on so many sites woman making that accusation. Does it ever work, I wonder? It is the epitome of self-centered narcissism.
I think the Christmas tree sale is a joke, it has to be.
I love your show! Merry Christmas 🎄!
exactly!!!
in what perverted universe the well being of your prole depends on a random stranger on the internet? grow a pair and start being a decent parent!
some people are unbelievable
happy holidays
I was thinking the tree one was a joke too lol
An entitled parent knows no gender lol I suppose it must work sometimes which is why they do it, maybe? But I dunno. I hate the thought of people giving in to that nonsense lol Merry Christmas, y'all!
Christmas tree one has to be, who would invite a stranger in their home to put away their stuff and let them go to other rooms. It's like you are asking to be robbed.
It's Merica, so know doubt true.
The "manager of Christmas" got me. I would have been tempted to go in and highlight all of the cells in the Google Doc, then "reply all" to let them know they could get whatever the heck they want to for whoever they want to ;) I have dealt with micromanagers in previous work environments. I don't need them in my personal life.
I got really confused with that one. Is it for a secret santa ?
I honestly can't believe how many shameless entitled people we have in this world!
There has been actually research that past decade people have become more selfish and self-centered.
Not sure did this change after social media became a thing but...
Not just choosing beggars but.. everything. Me me me me.
People go in relationship. Then you have two people who have their own jobs, own hobbies, own money to use only for themselves and everything joint has to be exactly 50/50 paid ... they basically live in same address and sleep in same bed and then wonder how it didn't work out.
My bil was with his previous gf 7 yrs, lived together 6. Now i understand separate finances when you are gf/bf stage but... He has been bouncing thru jobs for years and he has really tried (so no he isn't lazyass) so in short unemployment, he was low on money in end of the month. So, this 35 yr old asked his dad for money to buy food for weekend and he pays back on Monday.
He couldn't ask her gf of 7 years. And pay her back on Monday. What kind of relationship is that?
Wow! Amazing how cheap parents are with their infants. Can you imagine paying someone less than what it would cost to board a dog???
And leaving your baby with someone you don't know at all?? A total stranger?? For that long? And why did you book a vacation without having those arrangements already decided?? I have so many questions!
@@jenn8179 probobaly as anchor baby for the wealth not citizenship
@@altergreenhorn why would you assume their child is an "anchor baby," which is a pretty damn offensive term. The parents actions are deplorable, but nothing about their exchange could even give an impression that one of the parents is from a foreign country? People born and raised in America can be shitty asshole parents too (as often shown here on this channel).
@@jenn8179 same! Also, why not take their 9 month old with them? Studies show the more traveled a child is, the more open to change and adaptability they become. Good traits to have IMHO.
That should have been reported to CPS or even 911 immediately
My husband is in the hosp with coronavirus. I am binge watching with him. Thanks for the video.... hope everyone has a great today and tomorrow
I'm sorry you're both having to spend Christmas in the hospital but I'm glad y'all are together! Hope he has a smooth and speedy recovery! Praying for y'all! :)
Hoping he has a full and speedy recovery! #CharlottesFam
When I was in high school I really wanted to learn Italian and for an entire year, I asked everyone in my family if they could get me Italian Rosetta Stone. Like pitch in together and just get me the one gift from everybody. Parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, siblings, cousins. It was the only thing I wanted, nothing else. I knew the money they were all going to spend on me combined was about the cost of one full Rosetta Stone. They kept asking me, "Why not Spanish?" Because I wanted Italian, I loved Italian culture at the time and had always wanted to visit Italy at some point. Christmas comes around, and there is one box for me, I know what it is and I'm super excited. I open it and it's Spanish. I tried to be grateful, but what visibly pretty upset. My family just kept telling me things like, "You'll never need Italian, you live in California, Spanish is more useful." Guess where I ended up stationed in 2010-2013... yeah, you guessed it Naples, Italy.
Charlotte out here giving the Rock vibes with her black turtleneck and chain! XD All love and Happy Holidays
I love when ppl bring the christian thing to do into things. Especially when they are being the asshole!!!😂😂😂 Happy Holidays 🎅🏼🎁🎊🎉 Charlotte and everybody!
Merry Christmas, we are almost spelt in the same order lol my name is spelt Amiee lol
Most people that say it probably aren't very good Christians, that's for sure lol Merry Christmas! 🎄
Christmas is a Christian Celebration. 🎅 is a tradition retailers made up to get your money.
@@tinasnow3744 Nope, it is not lol it is a pagan holiday but even now a majority of people that celebrate have zero ties to religion at all and is purely a family holiday.
Happy Holidays!!☺
Charlotte, I hope you have an amazing Christmas. You've kept us laughing during the pandemic. Few could pull that off.
Merry Christmas, Charlotte. You cheer me up everyday no matter what is going on in my life, thank you so much for your work and the time you put in for all of us.
LMAO!!!! That Christmas tree one has got to be a joke, & I love it!!! Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all!!!! 🎄🎅🤶❄🎄
My daughter one year really wanted a nice digital camera(this is before camera phones) so we found her a really nice one for Christmas and when she opened it, there was no thank you, no joy, nothing. She simply opened it and moved on to the next gift. I stopped her, asked her to give me the camera then told her that because of her lack of gratitude, I was taking back the gift. She asked for how long and I told her forever. And I did. She is 21 now and is always so grateful for anything she receives from anyone.
Merry Friggin' Christmas, Charlotte! Thanks for all of the laughs this year. I look forward to your videos every single day.
Happy Holidays to you Charlotte! If it helps at all, tonight my hubby and I went to my sister's for Christmas Eve. I gave my niece(18) and nephew(16) a card with a gift card in each, worth $20. Money is tight right now. They opened their cards and.....thanked us both. They were genuinely pleased. Thanked us a second time too, as we were leaving.
I know it wasn't much and I feel badly, because they're awesome kids. Love them so much.
Oh merry Christmas to us!!! Thanks Charlotte! Merry Christmas to you too, and a happy new year. We love you so much!!!
these entitled people are the bane of my existence. period.
I absolutely LOVE how into the character Charlotte goes into and doesn’t react to what they said until after she says it sometimes. Her reactions are always so funny 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can't tell you enough how grateful I am for this channel!! Discovered you about 6 months ago & the joy you bring to us daily is an amazing gift - thank you!!
Aww... Charlotte... You're a loved one! My wife & I love all your videos. You're such a sweetheart of a person. We wish you the happiest of Christmases and an awesome new year!!!
Thank you for all the smiles and laughs!
Hi Charlotte, it’s xmas day now in Australia. How amazing and hilarious are your videos 😂😂😂 thank you so much for starting my xmas day with a bang ❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas from Texas!
Hearing these stories…I’m actually thankful for being raised in a family which didn’t celebrate Christmas…
Thus avoiding sooooooo much of the drama, and showing appreciate and gratitude for what we got out of life ALL YEAR ROUND rather than showing it on one day then being horrid the rest of the year
People tend to ask me “where’s my xmas spirit?/why aren’t you more giving around this time of year?”
I try to be a positive, helpful and generous person ALL YEAR ROUND…rather than being an uptight selfish prick most of the year and then generous at xmas time - I just spread that same giving attitude out over the year as my default…but that means there’s not noticeable uptick in “niceness” at the end of the year…
This sort of the way I feel about Valentine's Day: my husband and I don't do anything for it. I think it's a good excuse for someone to maybe let another person know they're interested or a way for someone to remind their spouse that they love them if things aren't going well. But if you're kind and loving with your partner all the time, then February 14th is just another day.
An older gentleman in our neighborhood came by as I was unloading some material to fix mine and our neighbor's fence. Mid-December and a falling branch had caused an impressive amount of damage. He said, as a pensioner, he had difficulty making ends meet and could use some work to help pay for Christmas. Well, sure, the work wasn't difficult.
I got him a small electric saw and he got to work cutting up the tree branch. Once done, he helped pull out the old boards and remove other odds and ends. As we worked, I became more uneasy at the situation. His wife was off with the children as he could not take care of her. She was undergoing chemo and was very ill. He worked hard and had really good suggestions on how to make the fence look really good. He had never asked how much he wanted so, when the job was done, the neighborhood folks were admiring the fence as he and I talked to the side. He only wanted a few dollars. Yes, well, a few dollars my ass. I could only afford about 150. So I came up with 200 and my neighbor came up with another $100. And then, we took up a collection.... and we had slightly more than 500 when we were done. And, on Christmas day, I picked him up at 11 and drove him the 200 miles to his children's place and dropped him off (I had to go home to wife and kids). His kids (very obviously) did not have room for him and his wife (why he was home alone) so I went and picked him up after our Christmas dinner and brought him back to OUR house to continue a Christmas party FOR HIM that most of the neighborhood showed up for. It started at 9 pm as that was the time I made it back home for. He ended up falling asleep by the fire (in our old rocking chair) and everyone left quietly.
Did I miss something? Like.... what Christmas is all about? My family did not mind me being away so much for Christmas. Hey! Did you folks know that 'Amazing Grace' sounds good at Christmas, too?
And the money the guy made fixing the fence? He only wanted enough to send flowers to his wife! He got the flowers.. and brought them to her himself instead of having delivered.
I hear these stories Charlotte brought us and..... how could they? Christmas is not about what you receive, it is about what you give (and giving time is FAR more important than money). The kids having their Christmas RUINED? Hey, another neighbor takes his kids and a HUGE box of hamburgers they make, and drive through Seattle handing them out to people on the street. He reminds his kids of how much they have in their lives. Those people vacationing in Barbados? and their child is worth next to nothing to them? Why not forego Barbados and go visit mom and dad, they'd LOVE to have their grandchild for a week or so. And FAR less expensive. Geez. The Grinch may have stolen Christmas, but Christmas stole his heart....
I almost forgot (Actually, I did forget), the neighborhood had a Christmas Eve party in front of the guy's house. We barbequed, had some cocoa and spiced apple cider, and sang. Too bad it wasn't snowing....
Girl, I’m in self-isolation right now because I’m waiting for covid test results, so my Christmas eats butts… but you gave me a chuckle, so thank you! Merry Christmas to you.
My son and fiancee caught covid just before Christmas and couldn't taste their dinner. I avoided it but caught the flu and couldn't taste anything from Boxing day.
Hope you got the all clear xx
Hey, I also spent Christmas in a tiny room all by myself! After flying home all the way from Europe! 😭 Thanks Swiss people, for getting on public transport sick and without masks…
Thank you Charlotte for providing a voice for my inner dialogue ... it makes interactions with stupid ppl easier and funnier. :)
Merry Christmas Charlotte and everybody else,much love.
Same to you, My Friend. Safe travels as well, and lots of love this weekend. May your Holiday be Blessed.
These cheapskates never cease to amaze & make me mockingly laugh at them 😂 Happy Holidays everyone 🎄
As a nanny i can tell you it is a real job! Similar to artist not getting proper respect and pay same applies to people that work with children.

Person: "But it's Christmas!! Don't you care??" "It's a Christain thing to give things for free!"
Me: "I mean....I don't celebrate it soooo...sorry."
I gotcha one better. I'm a former pagan and an atheist. The day I celebrate is December 21st, the solstice, so why would I give them something for a non holiday?
embarrassingly, i felt entitled without thought 35 years ago, i was married and asked my rich uncle for $800, exactly what he gave my sister. omg 😱 so glad he ignored me completely and didn’t tell my mom. 😂

I worked as a pharmacy technician and a customer came in for oxycontin. We told her that her insurance doesn't pay for it so it was 360.00. She paid it... Then came back 2 days later to ask for some of the money back even though it isn't covered so nothing we can do. She said I ruined her child's Christmas since "I made her" pay for the oxy. Um.... No your addiction to oxy made you pay for it when we said we could get your doctor to choose a different drug to give you....
"Looking for who tf cares!" Omg that was hilarious and I'm definitely using that!!
Merry Christmas Charlotte, thank you for all the smiles.

Oops. I almost ruined Christmas. Thank you, Charlotte. You really helped me get through some tough times. Happy Holidays to you and your family. I wish you continued success in the New Year.
Merry Christmas all.
It's absolutely a thing in the UK for family members to all chip in on expensive gifts. I remember as a kid my one big gift from all my family being a Rally Grifter bike (showing my age) and I didn't care that that there were not lots of boxes. It was what I wanted. The message at 14 minutes is valid.
It's asking people to group together and get the present really wanted above all. Even offering compromises. Everyone's name would be on the gift.
i don’t know how this channel stayed out of my line of sight for so long but she is hilarious.
Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the videos (and laughs) this year and may next year bring you to 1M subs so more people can enjoy your content.
Merry Christmas Charlotte! I just love you, you crack me up. You are sooo funny. I hope 2022 finds bigger and better things for you. ( tv deal,movie,stand up) I think you are good enough for the big time girl!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas! Thank Charlotte for all the laughs 😃 I hope you have some time off to enjoy the holidays 💕❤💕
Each example presented by Charlotte makes me reaffirm one of the best decisions in my life to stop "doing" Christmas years ago. Never looked back, don't regret it! X^D
My family has always been poor. So we routinely go in on gifts together for the parents gifts, anniversaries, birthdays, ect. And will give anything we think the other can use to each other if we are not needing it anymore.
We list the gift as from the kids or family.
Happy Xmas Charlotte, Thankyou for making me laugh every day.
The woman is not serious about leaving her 9 momth old daughter for a week with a total stranger while she goes to Barbados AND pay peanuts so not even prepared to pay the going rate for good quality childcare. Wow!!! 😮
Seriously, having kids means your wants and desires are no longer a top priority. And they call those of us who decide not to have kids selfish? No, we appreciate the commitment required of parenting and think it unfair to the kid if we have any doubts.
My husband used to run an ebay store and I've gotten "you don't know what it's like to be a single mother!" a few times. And then I would respond with "actually, Karen, I do know what it's like to be a single mom" except they weren't called karens yet 😂 but you get the point
I hate hearing that entitlement. My mom was a single mother and never acted like this.
TRUTH OF THE MATTER..
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE SO UNGRATEFUL..
IM ALONE, SITTING IN A MCDONALDS PARKING LOT..
THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.
WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING . YOU HAVE A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE WHAT MATTERS MOST..
The audacity of people never ceases to amaze me. It's mind blowing. O.K, it's nine minutes to Christmas Morning and "Santa" still has a ton of work to do before the kids wake-up. Thankfully, we chained them to their beds this year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everybody!!!
Gotta love it when Choosing Beggars assume everyone is religious and can be manipulated with it *eye roll* Anyway - dear Charlotte, hope you and everyone who reads this has an awesome Christmas, and a healthy Happy New Year! With love from England ^_^ xx

I asked my mom for merch and found out she watches you too! She said she's a big fan of DO YOUR RESEARCH
so not only do you have THREE generations of my family watching,
You gave my mom and I something to bond over/both like and be able to share for the first time in a long time (we haven't really even spoken much the last 10 years)
*In case anyone who sees my comments wonders. Referring to my bio mom here. Referring to step my mom in most other comments.
I love this comment!
That's so lovely 😊
@@CrazyPlantLady911 yea but this is my mom lol.
I was kinda hoping she'd see one of my comments and reply to it 🤞
This may sound ackward but the Christmas tree sale is actually not such a bad idea. I am half German and I lived in a orthodox Christian neighborhood for many years as a child. Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on the 6th of January, so my family shared our Christmas tree with our orthodox neighbors - aka around the first of January our Christmas tree moved to the neighbors flat. We went to Spain anyways to celebrate Reyes with the family and the neighbors needed a tree - win win. During the last couple of years I have actually seen quite a few tree swaps on Facebook groups between Catholic or Protestant families and orthodox families :-) less expenses, less tress that have to be cut, less trash afterwards :-)
My grandma keeps her Christmas tree up all year long and decorates it for all birthdays and holidays. 🎄🌲
The mum f’ing off to Barbados on her kids first Xmas… lovely.
Merry Holidays Charlotte to you & yours!
ps. How'd get get your teeth so white? Did you go to a pro? Askin' for me-self, thanks! 🤗💕
*Hope everyone is enjoying their December celebrations! 🥳🥳🥳 There’s so many!*
Happy (belated/future): Rohatsu, St. Nicholas Day, Hanukkah, Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Lucia Day, Posadas Navidenas, Yule, Solstice, Christmas, Three Kings Day, Saturnalia, Zarathosht Diso, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, (and birthday to my grandma)! 💗💗💗
If I missed any, let me know! 😊
I haven’t gotten to the end of year ones yet - they’ll be next time 😇
Charlotte, you make me laugh every day of the year, so I consider you the gift that keeps on giving.....in a good way!!! 😊 Happy Holidays to you and yours!!! 🎄
Be safe and healthy into 2022, Charlotte!!
Honestly, there was one year I couldn't afford Christmas gifts for my kids (2 in elementary 1 in middle school at that time, all boys). I crocheted each a different stuffy. The oldest got hedwig from Harry Potter, the middle got a Pokémon, the last a minion. Each was thrilled.Grandma got them more expensive things ($50 each value) kids were equally happy. Videos like this make me grateful for how truly amazing my sons are. They are equally happy with an experience, or someone's time (especially my uncles who live half way across the US from us), as they are with expensive items.
5:30 The price is ridiculous, but it's freaking me out more that they don't even want to spend the baby's first Christmas with her. 😕 If the trip is that important to them they can take the baby...
What concerned me about this is that the baby is 9months old. Who leaves their 9month old baby to go vacation for a few weeks?!
That was really sad
Yes, that was insane to see!! I can't imagine not only wanting someone to watch my 9 mo for that long but also trying to get that to happen at such a cut rate. Do they actually believe for that amount of money someone is gonna treat their kid well? Might even be better than her parents do if they are like that. Wtf 😳 that poor kid...
@@Winters.C I remember thinking about that after I'd commented and one of the things I considered was that the baby might have ended up in a more happy environment for Christmas than they would have if they'd stayed with the parents. x.x
Me being able to see my little sisters first Christmas was the highlight of my Christmas
And I'm her BROTHER.
the fact the parents dont want to is horrific to me
So they wanted to pay someone to take care of their baby so they could take a trip and miss her FIRST CHRISTMAS?!
I'll take "well she's a baby she won't even remember" as their response for 100.
“I understand getting something for them but it’s not the Christian thing to do” well bucko- NOT EVERYONE IS A CHRISTIAN!
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 💖
"bucko"? That made me laugh and think of a show I used to watch when I was younger (Laverne and Shirly) 🤣😂
5:43 Wow. It’s your child’s first Christmas and you want to spend it without them in Barbados. The audacity.
Above and beyond, Charlotte! Thanks for your dedication and Happy Christmas to you xx
Sorry .... $600 for 12 Days full time childcare for baby?
😂 What's she smoking and where can I get some
Your personality is so cute
Maaaaan, I am a single mom with very little income at the moment, and I would feel SO embarrassed using that as an argument to get people to give me things.
I want my kid to learn that we work for things and we are humble.
These people make me long for a giant asteroid.
Happy holidays to all the cool people out there, and to everyone here, especially Charlotte and team. 🌲❤️☺️
Merry CHristmas Charlotte xxx! TY and your team for making another year full of laughs. Much love from New York.
