Can’t believe you mentioned holding the door for others! I make a point to stay positive during the Christmas I was just ranting to my husband about a woman about my age (50s) entering a store while my hands were weighed down with about 4 heavy large bags and she opened the door for herself & let it shut while I was standing about a foot away waiting to exit! I was dumbfounded and just stared at her in disbelief. It’s not just kids.
Bonjour Karen ! Always such a pleasure to spend a little time with you my dear. I love your enthousiasme about Christmas and the Holidays ; I feel that I am not the only one on the planet that is enjoying every minute of it LOL" anyway, until next one... Be blessed oxox
Boy Karen, what a deal on that candle. The other day I think I bought the tiniest one, Fraser Fir, and it cost $15. I think I will check Amazon, but they will probably still be pricey. Loved the blog.
Thank you SO much for speaking out about not holding doors and manners in general. I don't know what happened to basic politeness and civility. Yes, girl, yes! Happy Holidays! - xx, Carla
Yes! The door holding I believe that starts at home & how you are raised! I preach to my kids (16 & 21) always hold the door, never say huh you say excuse me & you Never interrupt an adult conversation
Awwwww....so kind of you for doing all these lovely gifts for the sweet people in your life :) Holy Smokes, holding the door for the elderly is so very important, thank you so much for mentioning this Karen. Loving your work out routine, way to go girl !!.........wishing you and your sweet family a very Merry Christmas and all good things in the New Year.......big hugs XO
My 29-year-old daughter is always amazed that people don't hold the door. Unfortunately, I've noticed more and more it's not just youngsters. The same with offering a shopper with only a few items to go ahead of you in line if you have a ton of items to purchase. At least I know I raised her right if she notices but continues to offer those courtesies herself.
I agree with you. I tend to compare kids today with when I was their age BUT it all comes down to how they are brought up. Most likely their parents don't hold the door for others either. .....
That Archie is sooo cute, if he could only talk. Haha.. Christmas is coming so quickly, I so enjoyed your decorating vlogs this season and especially the vlogmas. Keep them coming throughout the new year.
I watch you every day!!!! I was watching that Hallmark movie and snuggling with my Yorkie, Lola. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love your vlogs so much, Karen.....especially when you show your outfits when you're going out!! ❤️️🎄❤️️🎄❤️️
Another great video Karen. Thanks for taking all your time to do these. I look forward to seeing you everyday and will miss it when you don’t do them everyday. You are so beautiful inside and out and have the sweetest smile. Archie is so precious.
Good morning Karen. I agree. Archie is precious. There is nothing like a fur baby. Tanner is going on 13. He was about 18 mths old when I got him from a shelter. He makes life worth living. Loving your vlogs!!! Don't worry about responding. Enjoy your day. XO Vicki.
I look forward to your vlogmas everyday! You are a great pick me up and have really gotten me into the holiday mood. Your little Archie is so darn cute.
The Illume candles you purchased are divine. Winter White is my favorite, my sister in law loves the Balsam and Cedar, and I still love the Thymes but this brand has always delivered.
Another fabulous vlogmas Karen!! I am really enjoying them, they have all been just wonderful!! Great gifts and purchases. Your home, hair, cloths and makeup are always beautifully done! Tfs! 🙋🏼😊💕🎄
Hey Karen! Happy day 15! I enjoyed the vlog! Great stocking stuffers you got for all your crew that work on you! I do the same! The garbage collectors, mailman, and hairdresser.....I do my own nails because I use to be a nail tech back in the day! Archie is super cute! When my Ziggy needs his hair done he looks adorable but he starts getting matted and they will shave him! Can't have that! Ally is so cute! Your lucky to have daughters! I mean.... I love my son but it's so different with a girl! Thx for a fun vlogmas! Hugs and love! Xo
That mascara is fabulous. I've been using it for years. I am always in Ultra. The moment I realized I was "living" there was when I went in after not going for a few months (had knee replacement surgery) and the manager said "Denise, where have you been. We've been worried, .".
I too agree. Young people today do not have manners. I don't know what their parents are teaching them. Love the volgmas. Look forward to them everyday. Off to bake some cookies now!
Archie is such a precious pup.....I have a Shih Tzu......all black named Cooper. He is so precious to me...such a little love. I live alone and what a difference he makes. He is actually my emotional support dog. He and Archie would probably be great woof woof buddies...lol. I totally agree with regarding holding a door open for others. I am the director of our local community center that caters to seniors. There is a senior nutrition program......noon meal on Tues, Thurs, Fri. I continually open and hold doors for our wonderful seniors. They so totally appreciate every kind gesture. I love them so much....a tough situation.....my little friend Rose and I shared the same birthdate....she in her 80's, me in my 60's.....then she passed a couple months ago...unexpected. She was very much a best friend...I love her so much. Anyway...tough when they go.....a special bond is made with these wonderful people. So sorry this is so long.....love, love you and Lauren....my fave vlogs....vlogmas...I watch ea one, sometimes more than once. Love you two...(((hugs)) Patti
Karen, it was neat to see some of the exercises you do.....she gives you a workout.....that is good for the bones. Enjoyed seeing the goodies you got....love your hat I think you looked great in one. Always enjoy hanging out with you for a bit....have a wonderful time at the Christmas party tonight I think I am confused.....oh well enjoy.....xoxo...Debbie
Unfortunately, good manners do seem to be becoming a thing of the past. It seems like too many people, young or even not so young, don't even take notice of such things as holding doors for others. I suppose so many people are completely tuned out to the real world, that they can't be bothered to even look up from their phones or electronic devices these days to do such things as hold doors or be polite. It makes me very sad, and yes, angry as well! At this time of the year, at least, you would think people could show more compassion.
When I was growing my father open doors and pulled chair out for my mother! My 2 brothers saw this in our home and it was automatic for them to do the same! My husband opens the door still for me and others and it is sad the kids now a days don't period! Parents didn't make them do anything but let them have their way! Because honestly we thought growing up everyone did it! But atleast my parents cared enough to show us manners that counts!
The worst is when young parents don't keep their eyes on their kids in restaurants, and let them run loose, causing havoc while others are trying to enjoy their meal and time together!
I'm surprised by all ages that don't have even the smallest courtesies in public, shameful. Nobody taught by example in their lives I imagine. Loving the vlogs 🎅
Good morning ☀☀☀Karen, Your Vlogmas is so much fun...I am really enjoying getting to know you better. I have been sharing a lot of these on my face book😊😊😊. So I am hoping you are getting new subbies. Those💕 socks are the cutest ever!!! And you will look so cute in that hat too. That is a nice gym ...I have never seen some of that equipment. Girlfriend. I have to get those coffee's they look awesome. How do you store all your K cups? Do you mind sharing? I would love to see you and Lauren do a series in 2019 on getting organized, household things, clothes, jewelry, make up everything. And more get ready with men's maybe using some of the hot new palettes like Urban Decay Naked Cherry, Anastasia Soft Glam, Sultry and Norvina, Dose of Colors Marvelous Mauves, Violet Voss Berry Burst. You and Christopher are my daily dose of happy. Thank you for doing this for us. Love you girlie🎅🎄❄⛄🎅🎄❄⛄🎄🎅❄⛄🎄🎅❄⛄🎄🎅❄
Thank you Karen for addressing the door issue. I agree it is rude to not think of others---kindness and manners cost nothing.
Wishing it was Xmas all year around in a town like yours ❤️❤️
Karen I have a question regarding the 12 days of Christmas coffee k cups? Is there a certain time of the month?
Karen, what product do you use in your hair that makes it so shiney?
Hi Karen were did you get those tea's from? Those are some great gifts....
You are looking so slim and trim, very healthy! Keep up the hard work, it is paying off!
Can’t believe you mentioned holding the door for others!

How did your basement turn out?
Wow that’s quite a work out 💪

Karen, you’ve got this vlogmas thing down. You go girl. I love watching you and your day!☃️
Yes! The door holding I believe that starts at home & how you are raised! I preach to my kids (16 & 21) always hold the door, never say huh you say excuse me & you Never interrupt an adult conversation

You’re my fave Christmas Vlog! So fun!! Happy Christmas!!
Loving vlogmas. What is the song playing during your workout scene? I keep humming it.
If someone is behind me, I always hold the door for them. I think etiquette is a thing of the past. Sad really.

Hello Karen
Aww Archie is so cute :-) if you like hats and scarves you need to check out Joules.com it's a British company but they sell in the US xx
Best part of my day is at night in front of fire with a coffee and hallmark on. Oh and snuggling with my Newfie
Another GREAT vlog Karen.
