Hi Janice Great job on the video Christmas is not always a Hallmark movie especially with the loss of love ones, Thanks for your uplifting chat Enjoy your holiday
Janice, this more serious side of you reflecting on others gone, maturing and with less friends, and how to get out on Christmas inspires me. It is easy to sit around feel sad and that is not healthy. Thank you and have a blast in London! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Janice, my second Christmas without my late husband (married nearly 50 years). I am finding it so hard to celebrate and put up decorations. (Lost my old cat recently too) I must do it for me now and stop feeling sorry for myself. You are a great help❤️
Lots of kitties (and especially older cats) needing loving homes. I work in animal rescue and see the need up close. When you're ready, I hope you will adopt. Have a blessed Christmas.
Janice, thank you for sharing your day. Glad you are enjoying this adventure. I love what you say about aging. Yes, sometimes you "have to make your own happiness".
Hi Janet, you’re such an inspiration and a sweet sweet woman with a great heart!!! I am going to call my old neighbor of 83 years old and wish her a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and tell her we will get together this month when I’m back in town!! Love your light heartiness and demeanor!! Spreading your 💗 TY!!!
Merry Christmas, sweet lady, kindred spirit! I think London would be magical at Christmas. I’m hoping after a hip replacement in a couple months that maybe next year I can do a British Christmas tour.
Handmade gifts, food made by hand and gifted at Xmas and small art projects including a drawing, or other art craft gifts are so appreciated by our loved ones.
Janice you have French hair style to me ,very classy, you are always entertaining , it's great seeing France with you , so glad you and your lovely daughter are spending time together ❤I❤
Janice, your one woman group is doing an EXCELLENT job. You really are a can do, go getter. Wishing you a fabulous fun filled holiday season. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄……….🤗🇨🇦
You are right about everything--especially to pass on the electric bike, but more importantly . . . your advice is perfect, when feeling lonely or sad,, the best cure is to do something for someone else . . . Bonne Noel, Janice
Hi Janice. Your show was so uplifting today!! Holidays are so full of mixed emotions and I felt the personal way you reached out to your viewers was so very heart warming. I love watching and following you all the way from California. 💕💕💕 I hope you have a wonderful visit with your daughter and her new boyfriend!! Merry Christmas.
You are such a beautiful soul for thinking of others during this time of year. Bless you, and I hope to visit France someday & meet up with you! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Janice!! ❤
I love your Christmas tradition of hosting people for dinner and celebrating. Joyeux Noël 🎄 35 days and counting for my move to Nice and yes, I can’t blame anyone but me for this timing. lol.
Hi Janice, what a delightful chat! You always make me smile. Since I’m married to a French man, May I help you with how to say ‘hot chocolate?’ Pronunciation-wise & you already know how to pronounce chocolate in French, the word is “show.” In other words chocolat chaud is chocolat show. 🙂
I had a fun excursion in Tuscany with ebikes. I’d say if you are in an area that is particularly hilly like Tuscany the e-bike is a lifesaver! The downside is they are quite heavy. Lovely vlog as always! As someone learning French as an adult in order to move to Switzerland, I know you can do it! I have an advantage as I already speak Italian 😊 but wow, the pronunciation was very challenging at first, but after 6 months or so it got much easier 💪💪
Gorgeous, vibrant, radiant, wise, kind Janice ❤ Happy Christmas with Jennifer and her boyfriend and your fluffy companions. The ring looks beautiful on you!
What a nice visit with you, Janice. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I so enjoy your spirit! Next time you come to Georgia, I hope I can meet you. I live in Marietta. Take care!
Even the menfolk's skin gets dry in winter. I just decorate and then decorate some more. 2 big trees, 2 little trees and the tree branch thing you hang things on so far. I tend to get really crafty in winter. Repaired all the broken ornaments, recycled the rest into other things, and I found a use for all my wine bottles....the deep blue one's are the best and I found some spray paint to make red bottles so I went wild with these little wine stopper fairy lights to stick outside on the front porch.
Thank you Janice. You are such a blessing 🙏🏻 I love watching your videos. You give such hope & life to us 🙏🏻 I pray you have a most beautiful & blessed Christmas & New Year! ❤
You’re so right Janice about Christmas never being the same after losing our husband. this will be the fifth Christmas since my husband died suddenly of a massive heart attack. Each Christmas I am reminded of the Christmas celebrations we had together. I’ve tried to make things “my own”. I’ve had a mannequin tree for three years and last year I used a table tree I had previously on my front porch. This year I’ve gone with a pink theme…”Pink Glam”. I bought glittery pink trees and a pink garland as well as pink ornaments and pink ribbon for the table tree along with a pink sparkly star on the top. I got them from our Hobby Lobby store which sells everything for 50% before Christmas. I will probably be alone this Christmas but will try some of your suggestions to make the day special. I will go to our Christmas Concert at church this coming weekend which always gets me in the right frame of mind for Christmas.
Yes, I know how you feel and I am so sorry you’re having to go through this, but I am also glad to hear that you’re going to try a few new ways to celebrate your Christmas
Keep up your Christmas spirit up Janice who cares about diets. Love your updates! The tree looks so sparkly! The real meaning of Christmas 🎄 Christ's birth. See you soon at Train Blue 💙
Have a great trip to London ! We celibrate advent until the day before christmas eve. Then the tree and all decorations goes up 🙂 Now its just a star in the window and 4 candles. You light one new every Sunday before x-mas. 4th of advent all four is shining. The n8ght before x-mas eve the presents goes u der the tree...x-mas eve morning you get a stocking with some candy and one present....then all kids walk alllll day looking at yhe presents under the tree, not to be open until after dinner when its dark outside...lol Thats the old Swedish tradition
It's a Scandinavian tradition that I love. After living in Denmark for 20 years I still celebrate Christmas the Scandinavian way which is oh so cosy and magical. The smell of gloegg & oranges decorated with cloves is amazing. I find Christmas here in the UK tacky by comparison. Glaedelig jul!!🌲
You are such a pleasure to watch. I go to Paris every year. Sometimes with a friend or myself. Next year I will probably go in Sept/Oct. I hope to be able to meet you in person. Last October I went to Le Train Bleu and treated myself to lunch. Thank you for awesome videos. Gloria
As always, I enjoy everything you share. I wish you & Jenn a wonderful Christmas season. In 2026 my daughter & I will be in Paris & Provence - I’d love to join you and whoever else joins us in Le Train Blu for a cuppa & a chat!!
I love the tradition, but I don’t know if if I could wait that long for Jennifer to open up her presents lol it wouldn’t be her. It would be me. Thank you for sharing so very much.
Hi Janice, thanks for taking us with you on your jaunts ….so nice that you’re going to have Jennifer for Xmas again…I’m delighted to be having my oldest daughter and her lovely man for Xmas too….she hasn’t been for Xmas for a while….they want to help with my tree,so it’s not going up until 17 th this year…I’m in the Canary Islands,so instead of hot port,as they have at home( Ireland) she’s requested Cava! 🥂…..I started a deep clean today in preparation….look forward to your next vlog x
Hi Janice. You are so brave.😊 I'm enjoying your videos for various reasons. Your selfrespect, insights about yourself and life. And for the glimses of france. Thank you for your tips. Are you going to see the new Notre Dame? Looking forvard to your next. Merry christmas & happy new year.❄☃️
I use 🚲 a City bike, no gears, just foot pedal and foot brake. Electric bicycles can be very dangerous. I see people all the time having accidents, including head and limb injuries because maybe the gears messed up or something. I find it nicer to regular bike in a safe manner, no rushing around. But it's just an opinion 😊 Love all your vlogs 😍
You asked who rides a bike. I am 62 and ride an electric assist mountain bike. It is super hard work. It's not like an around-town electric bike. I've broken a few bones doing it and have a new knee. I'm the only woman in my group of biking friends.I'm hoping to keep doing it as long as I can do it. After that, I get the bike that I can tool around town on!
This was a wonderful video! I love the longer "day in my life" videos that you make. They are so uplifting and wonderful! Can you please tell me the name of the hotel you had your hot chocolate in...the audio was a little fuzzy there and I couldn't get the name. Thank you so much, Janice! You definitely make me smile! PS: Did your daughter move to London?
First of all, thank you for your very kind words. I do appreciate them. The name of the hotel was hotel Napoleon here in Fontainbleu and no my daughter is just meeting me in London and then returning with me to Paris for Christmas.
Bonjour Janice! Can you recommend a safe, affordable and centrally located place to stay in downtown paris for a couple of days? Meeting a friend there who is visiting from the states. Merci, Kat
Losing our Moms is such a huge loss. I can relate to what you might be feeling. My mom has been gone since 2013 and I just miss her everyday. I try to remember all the wonderful times we shared for so many years I hope you will hold onto some of the memories and love you shared with your mom too. Xo❤
Oh Joyce that is so sad and has probably ruined every Christmas since her passing. Supposedly a time of celebration yet for you it's a time of sadness.🤗
Oh goodness Joyce. I am so sorry that just to me is got to be a memory that you wouldn’t want. I mean we don’t ever want to remember that anyway, but it being right before Christmas it’s always just a big reminder. Remember if you ever want to talk I’m here.

It is not feeling sorry for yourself; it’s grief.

Good morning Janice!! great seeing you love from Aussieland. I always enjoy your down to earth video's
Hi Janice, what a delightful chat! You always make me smile.
Since I’m married to a French man, May I help you with how to say ‘hot chocolate?’ Pronunciation-wise & you already know how to pronounce chocolate in French, the word is “show.” In other words chocolat chaud is chocolat show.
🙂
Thank you for your kindness
I had a fun excursion in Tuscany with ebikes. I’d say if you are in an area that is particularly hilly like Tuscany the e-bike is a lifesaver! The downside is they are quite heavy. Lovely vlog as always!

I really loved this video. I just looked at your IG live and got all exited to go to visit you in May but it’s too expensive for me 😢
I’m sorry even with the payment plan ?
@ I didn’t know there was a payment plan. I’ll look at it. I would love to do it. It’s a dream.

Janice did you ever say if your brows are microblade or tattoo?
Microblade
What kind of moisturizer did your hairdresser recommend?
bonsoir Janice toujours élégante et jolie!
Bonjour Janice! Can you recommend a safe, affordable and centrally located place to stay in downtown paris for a couple of days? Meeting a friend there who is visiting from the states. Merci, Kat
No I’m not familiar with the hotels in Paris. I’m sorry
❤
Maybe the flashing lights are too distracting while you decorate. If you turn them off until everything is on first.
That’s not a bad idea thank you. Believe it or not. I’m still not finished.
My mom died Christmas Day
Losing our Moms is such a huge loss. I can relate to what you might be feeling. My mom has been gone since 2013 and I just miss her everyday. I try to remember all the wonderful times we shared for so many years I hope you will hold onto some of the memories and love you shared with your mom too. Xo❤
