    Hi friends! Welcome back for day 7 out of 12 of our vlogmas 🎄THIS MORNING I CHECK OUR FUNDRAISER FOR THE ALI FORNEY CENTER AND WE REACHED $10,000 I cannot believe it... and CANNOT stress how much it means that y'all donated and also believe in such an incredible organization directly helping the LGBTQIA+ community. Thank you so much. You won't hear me shut up about this for awhile. I'm gonna post my posting schedule for the second week of vlogmas on my community tab today so keep an eye out for that if you're interested in timing for the youtube live. Okay... now... what did you think of the thrifting haul? lol.

    as someone who lives in nyc I'm always self conscious being in places where there are lots of people obviously filming so I really appreciate how conscious you are about blurring out people's faces in the background of your vlogs! going to check out some of these stores you went to on my next thrifting trip

    I went and bought some Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls for the first time ever because of your other video, and now I have the urge to go thrifting..... I hope I don't get two cats next. 😂😂 Great shopping day! Love it.

    I guess I am no fun as I find the consumerism of the holidays to be a bit much. When I see all that stuff, all I can picture is it ending up in landfill one day. I love your idea of thrifting holiday decor, at least it's better for the environment :)

    You got a fun haul! I love the hair clips, though I have the opposite problem from you-- my hair is so thick that some clips can't hold it. The snowman decoration reminded me of something someone gave me when my 3 kids were little, a similar gift with each of their names on the 3 different snowpeople. So yours can be for you, Gordo and Delilah! 😊☃⛄☃

    Hello Chelsea
    I wasn't much on youtube lately, so I have a lot to catch up on. I'm binge watching your vlogmas videos right now 😆, and I have to say I see some amazing efforts/changes in those videos. You were clearly prepared this year!
    Loved all the videos I've watched so far, I love the different musics you chosed, the way you filmed, and the cute drawings for the outro at the end with Deli, Gordo and the pigeon 😆 (I see those nice details).
    I also think you're really glowing in your videos. You look "at peace" in a way, or at least really motivated 😉
    And for this video, I really like everything you purchased, and the hair accessories look really nice on you.
    PS: I need the christmas cat sweater you showed 😆
    Thanks for those really enjoyable vlogmas videos 🤗

    I think what you have to consider when shopping for Christmas decorations is can you see whatever you’ve purchased as part of your yearly decorations for many years to come. I know I have purchased some things in the past like Disney ornaments of which I have like 100 at $15 apiece, and now that my kids are grown and moved out, I have no idea what to do with them. I have enough for at least two trees. So now that I’m older and we sometimes go away for Christmas I just do a fake small tree, and I find I have more than enough ornaments for that. Just a thought that when you’re looking at a decoration, can you see keeping that particular item for many years to Come. At your age, though I can see wanting a real tree in your home. I grew up with a real tree, and I had a real tree up until about eight years ago. Nothing beats a real tree.

    Don’t forget EBay & Mercari , I have sold online since 2009 and I do have some nice holiday decorations. Sadly I forgot to list some. But next year! I find amazing deals and pass them on. I love doing it. I’m retired so it’s a hobby. I make a little money reselling. And I just helped my daughter get through graduate school. Selling online helped so much. she gives me her seasonal items to resell. plus all the times she moved she would redecorate and sell her old items. I love all the items you bought. And $8 /$10 sometimes you just need to say it’s only a couple dollars 💵. And be happy. It happens to me. It happened today. I wanted some sugar free yogurt and there was a digital coupon for $2 off. But the website was blocked in the store. And I decided I would pay the $2 because I really wanted the sugar free yogurt. Great video! 🎉leslye

    Dear Chelsea, a few months ago YT recommended one of your videos to me even though I generally rarely watch vloggers or content from NYC, so it was a very nice surprise. I was instantely hooked and been watching ever since. I'm part of your silent audience but in this merry season I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your videos and relate with the parts of your private life you let us in on. I went back to rewatch your oldest videos and started from the beginning. Your journey is very inspiring. Our lives are very similar in many ways (single cat mom of two living alone by choice) and completely different in others (I mean you live in NY! 😅). But I feel so much comfort and in a way companionship when I put on your vlogs. Feel hugged from a far away city in Germany and I wish you happy holidays. Take care and please keep going (as long as you want of course). I am just so glad your chanel found me or the other way around. I really enjoy the creative Vlogmas videos. Byeeeeee 💫✌️Greetings from mine to your cats as well 🐈‍⬛🐈

    I went to Goodwill the other night tried on 1 thing & didn't work for me. I have to try stuff on. I don't want to pay $5 for a top only to find out later it doesn't fit. I love when Gordo was in the background watching you try on your hair clips 😂& then sliding about your skirt they were so curious about your new clothes 😂 my favorite things you got were the hair clips❤

    Happy New Year! :) Those hair accessories are so cute. You found so many wins but $10 for an $8 top is why I haven't thrifted in NYC in a while. I like to thrift on vacation, though (typically much cheaper and less picked over selection, and the items also serve as souvenirs).

    it was one of those great thrifting days, where you see soo much you like and don't have enough space in your bag (or money left) to buy more. I can see you had a great time :) My favs were the Shrek T and the cup noodle ornament. Best part of the video is the cats though, they're so much fun to watch.Have a great, cozy Saturday, Chelsea!

I don't think you're old enough to have been to the Unique Boutique or Canal Jean Co when they were on Broadway. Fun stuff back when...
