Floral - in the USA if you don’t want to offend or if you are not of a Christian orientated faith, most say Happy Holidays. If you are old fashioned, doesn’t matter to you about the orientation of the phrase or of a Christian faith, you say Merry Christmas. It’s hard to believe that one could get offended by someone saying Merry Christmas, and yet it happens. I told a salesperson at a store couple of days ago Merry Christmas and she corrected me and told me that offended her. 🤷♂️ I don’t want to offend anyone, but I miss the traditional ways of things sometimes.
I just love the aesthetic of your videos Josie. Food for the soul. That you can produce such high quality on a daily basis is truly impressive. I hope you both plan to take some time off to relax after this marathon Vlogmas! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Josie, we had a huge shock a few days ago when our 5 year old corgi Zephyr suddenly died from cancer. I was watching this vlog on my phone in the kitchen when one of my teens came in and asked what you were making on the screen. We have decided to make these festive treats to try to keep us busy and hopefully lift our spirits a bit. Thanks for another amazing vlogmas video. Sending appreciation your way for all you share with us, and for giving us an idea to try to keep us occupied in a more positive direction.
Love the smoothie you did, sorry for your bowl that cracked. I love dates so I'm going to try it. Yes, fragrances these days in price are just horrible!!! I'm American and I do sing the song. And I love the robe! The NewT OMG is beautiful and gorgeous.
As an American, I will say that Auld Lang Syne is definitely a New Years thing here as well. We also tend to say Merry Christmas and refer to Father Christmas as Santa/Santa Claus and sometimes as St. Nick.
I concur 😁 Merry Christmas and auld Lang syne is sung at the stroke of midnight New Years. Our family shot off fireworks and banged pots, pans, and lids for whatever reason, I don't know. I suppose to just make a racket or scare away the evil spirits for the new year AND one MUST eat black eyed peas and some sort of greens for health and prosperity in the new year. I'm from the south, not sure they do this in the north. Floral!!
I will chime in as well. Merry Christmas and Santa Claus. However my Mom is from Ireland so we did hear Happy Christmas and get cards with that saying as well. Floral
I am English. But have never said Happy Christmas, always Merry Christmas. The very first commercial Christmas card sent in 1843 commissioned by Sir Henry Cole. It read Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Happy Christmas is modern. Merry Christmas is traditional.
Yes, Josie, Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung or played by an orchestra at the stroke of midnight to bring in the New Year here is the USA. Probably most younger people don’t know the words these days…but it is synonymous with NYE. 🎉. Feels like an episode of Downton Abbey!!
The following are just a few Christmas songs with the lyrics "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" Here We Come A-Caroling (English Christmas carol 1850) Merry Christmas (lyrics by Ed Sheeran and Elton John) We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Traditional English Christmas carol) Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Feliz Navidad (I Wanna Wish You a Merry Christmas) Ding Dong Merrily On High (English composer George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848-1934)) Merry Christmas Darling White Christmas Carol of the Bells (Ukrainian Christmas carol) Merry Christmas Everyone (Scottish songwriter Bob Heatlie)
Josie your hair is beautiful 😍 not going to lie, but not looking forward to not watching the vlogmas every day, it's such a treat, I look forward to seeing it all day, ❤
Thank you for sharing! One place similar to the Newt I would say is Wequassett club-beautiful area, lush gardens, and the best amenities but close to the ocean.
Love every episode ! You and Charlie are such a class act, my dear ! Sorry about your old pink glass bowl..... perhaps there is another just like it out there somewhere. Cheers to you both, Aiden A Brit in Texas
I only put choc in a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water on the kitchen counter and it melts …..no need for any on the oven heat . May take longer but it works. 💕💕💕
I’m a little late but I’m so happy that I clicked on this video! It was so beautiful and festive. It really helped me get into the Christmas spirit, which has been hard lately. Can’t wait to go see your past Vlogmas videos! Merry Christmas! 🎄 😊
Oooo Josie I love that Chantecaille lipstick. Love fuschia lipstick. It suits you so much. Your skin looks radiant. Have been enjoying your vlogmas offerings . Have a lovely Christmas honey x❤you are so cute. Can’t wait for 20 x
The dates looked scrumptious😍but oh no!! Your lovely pink bowl cracking!!😢I recently had my favorite vintage Holly Hobbie mug loudly crack when I poured in the hot water which was sad and so odd!! ☹️ Floral🌺Love your makeup and those trousers on you!! xx
Oh my dearest Josie:you're tired:hence the caption!! Today Vlogmas DAY#19,HOORAY😅😄😃😂😁😀!! We're almost there;but not quite..and I'm a wee bit selfish:I want you to keep going for as long as you possibly can!! Your very thoughtful husband realizes too;hence that very romantic getaway!!Enjoy every minute and make memories you won't soon forget!!Sneak a minute to rest and relaxation .Thanks for the recipe,I appreciate it !!Happy day 19,truly an heartwarming pleasure !!
Cor blimey mate 😂😂. Are you on the champers in this vlog Josie, very entertaining 😊. Ooh The Newt looks amazing. FLORAL. Shall miss your vlogmas series ❤
Love it Josie 😂 I can absolutely relate to eating the chocolate out of the bowl! We don’t want it to go to waste do we? The dates look delicious ….great job on all the vlogs - they are always wonderful xx
I had two jaguars in the 80's. a 1982 and 1986 both in British Racing Green. I love your new car! My favorite color of all time. I've never had green again since then. I might just have to get green the next time which is in a few weeks or so.....MERRY CHRISTMAS to Charlie, Josie and my favorite doxies! Nancy from OHIO and Wally the Wiener Dog
I love floral notes in skin care, makeup, and fragrances. Especially the Nest Vanilla and Victoria & Rolf because when it warms up, it smells amazing on my skin. Which Jo Malone fragrance would you say has a warm floral scent similar to those?
Josie, I bought the Always Frying pan 31.8cm in green on black friday. I got it for £80, which I thought was an excellent price! Now I can't wait to use it! 😃 x 🎄 ❄️ 🎅
I was thinking about fashion in general Josie. Do you remember Kensington High Street, London, as trendy place to go shopping once upon a time? A fashion store called Hyper, Hyper? Maybe a bit before your time, I don't know. Also Shellys Shoes, Oxford Circus. I used to love Shellys Shoes!! lol. Merry Christmas by the way!! 🎄🥰👍👍
Josie, I’m from Tennessee but I’m heading to England with my boyfriend in the spring! He’s from Portland but I’d like some places to visit. Which ones would you recommend?
Wow Daylesford are taking the Mickey for sure! They are $9.00 AUD or £18 for best quality medjool dates here. Have you tried them stuffed with peanut butter and dipped into melted old fashioned dark chocolate? Tastes like a snickers 😋
Hi Josie: Great Vlogmas vlog! I have to ask, who performs the "Hark How the Bells/O Come, O Come Emmanuel" music in you intro? It is fantastic (as is the whole intro!) and I would like to see if I can get a copy of it. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Love watching the vlogs and having one each day over December is great. However is it my imagination does Charlie seem a bit annoyed when doing the advent calendar part??
why is it always a favorite well used bowl that gets cracked - oops! or accidentally dropped - welcome to my life! i bet those dates are delicious!! if now more spendy than you wanted!!!
p.s. thought you had your hair up in a lovely style - did not know they were in rollers - ha! dont know these things my hair is a pixie style! it really looked cute though!
Speaking for myself, tumble dryers (what we call heated clothes dryers here ) are very expensive to run and they’re also not very kind to clothes. I also don’t have space for one x
Floral ❄️💐🌹🥀🌷🌸💮❄️ The month like this year has flown 🕊️ Countdown to the end of an eventful 2024 in the Cotswolds & around the World 👼🏽😇🙏🏽 Sorry about the bowl ❤️🩹💔💞
Tony Chocolonely’s is an ethically made chocolate company - they are fighting exploitation of the chocolate industry in Cote D’Ivoire. Don’t be so hard on them Josie! They are one of the good companies.
We have been eating Tony’s Chocolony purchased from Whole Foods and as it states on label it is from Belgium, that was a good thing! I love the hazelnut one, but now, I need to go carefully read the label, might be the last bar I consume. Thanks for the heads up here!
Anyone else wrapping presents while watching/listening Josie?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Charlie for being so supportive this isn’t easy making videos during Xmas. I do feel Xmas day should be a bare minimum or nothing

🙌🎄The effort each vlogmas episode takes is something else, thank you @Josie!!
So appreciate the effort you have put in to giving us vlogmas every day!!! So look forward to tuning in! Juxxxx

Adore these vlogs - so much effort in one each day - which must be a nightmare to do.

Josie&charlie cette intro est magnifique D&D sont les chiens les plus élégants des costwolds avec leur petits pulls ❤
I’m pretty sure it’s “Happy Holidays” in the US and definitely “Merry Christmas” in the UK
Dickens uses Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas 🎄 in America 🇺🇸. Happy Christmas 🎄 in the Uk 🇬🇧.
Happy Holidays for the politically correct that don’t want to offend anyone.
I’ve never heard Happy Christmas in the UK - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
In the US we say Merry Christmas and Auld Lang Syne strikes up when we ring in the New Year.
I agree. UK says happy Christmas and US says Merry Christmas
The dates looked scrumptious😍but oh no!! Your lovely pink bowl cracking!!😢I recently had my favorite vintage Holly Hobbie mug loudly crack when I poured in the hot water which was sad and so odd!! ☹️ Floral🌺Love your makeup and those trousers on you!! xx
Another lovely video. Thank you once again:)
Yes in Canada we say Merry Christmas and Happy New year. We sing Auld lang syne at the New Year.💋💋🇨🇦

Milk Shake hair styling primer is great for holding curls longer. Floral
Love the NARS you showed. Love florals.
First class content in your vlog x
Love it Josie 😂 I can absolutely relate to eating the chocolate out of the bowl! We don’t want it to go to waste do we? The dates look delicious ….great job on all the vlogs - they are always wonderful xx
Floral! Josie, I dont think you realize how beautiful you look when you wear your hair down> So pretty! Wonderful vlog as always!
I had two jaguars in the 80's. a 1982 and 1986 both in British Racing Green. I love your new car! My favorite color of all time. I've never had green again since then.

I have all of the Ledda fragrances, love them and I love her!
Yes, we sing it in Ireland
Is it me or does the blood pressure go down a few points when Josie's Christmas vlog music plays 💕
Josie, I bought the Always Frying pan 31.8cm in green on black friday. I got it for £80, which I thought was an excellent price! Now I can't wait to use it! 😃 x 🎄 ❄️ 🎅

Bought myself a DBX 707 for my birthday this year! Great car
Josie, I’m from Tennessee but I’m heading to England with my boyfriend in the spring! He’s from Portland but I’d like some places to visit. Which ones would you recommend?
I would say London and Cambridge or, if you are prepared to travel, the Lake District is lovely!
I'm going to be sad when vlogmas is over and not seeing a new video from you everyday 😔 ❤
4 min 2 1s...your sequin dress was truly stunning...
Shampoo is way better for cleaning makeup brushes.😊
Why don’t you try blowdrying a bit the heatless curl contraption?
Where do you shop for heat safe bowls,plates and such?
You're welcome, love you🎉🎉🎉
Ahhh!
New vlog❤🇨🇦
Wow Daylesford are taking the Mickey for sure! They are $9.00 AUD or £18 for best quality medjool dates here. Have you tried them stuffed with peanut butter and dipped into melted old fashioned dark chocolate? Tastes like a snickers 😋

Hello from California. Great vlogmas videos, Josie & Charlie. Happy Christmas from our channel 🦜🦜🦜Australian Parakeets Stars 🙋🏻♂️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🦅🦅🦅🦚🦚🦚
Love watching the vlogs and having one each day over December is great. However is it my imagination does Charlie seem a bit annoyed when doing the advent calendar part??
He's exhausted. The amount of work it takes every year.
I love your channel ❤
I need that robe, where is it from again
Never mind, I went back and heard it LOL
Can‘t believe that vlogmas is nearly over 😢
Hi Josie, avoid yourself headaches my dear.....get yourself a double boiler or at least a stainless steel bowl to temper chocolate :)))
Floral u really suit the pink lipstick x
Dear Josie ,
Another amazing vlog ,
Love the floral🌹🌸🌺🌷
Your to funny !
Love love the outfit, the holland cooper jumper with the pants !
❤🇨🇦
why is it always a favorite well used bowl that gets cracked - oops! or accidentally dropped - welcome to my life! i bet those dates are delicious!! if now more spendy than you wanted!!!
p.s. thought you had your hair up in a lovely style - did not know they were in rollers - ha! dont know these things my hair is a pixie style! it really looked cute though!

Why in the UK do people hang up most of their laundry on racks versus using their clothes dryers?
Speaking for myself, tumble dryers (what we call heated clothes dryers here ) are very expensive to run and they’re also not very kind to clothes. I also don’t have space for one x
Lovely vlog.....who watches your dogs when youtravel??
Josie it's a soft 's' on Auld Lang Syne, not a 'z' sound.
Floral ❄️💐🌹🥀🌷🌸💮❄️ The month like this year has flown 🕊️ Countdown to the end of an eventful 2024 in the Cotswolds & around the World 👼🏽😇🙏🏽 Sorry about the bowl ❤️🩹💔💞
Only Pyrex is heat proof - I would never use any other bowl I have despite what it might say
maybe try adding honey with the pistachio and hazelnuts for your dates.
Floral - perfumes are not really me? I’m a Pachouli kind of gal? You can add orange, and or sandalwood sure. Xxx
The reason they call it a 'cream tea' is because it's just a cream scone - no sandwiches etc. so not 'afternoon tea'.
That was the longest 10 minutes😂
It’s day 19?
Tony Chocolonely’s is an ethically made chocolate company - they are fighting exploitation of the chocolate industry in Cote D’Ivoire. Don’t be so hard on them Josie!
They are one of the good companies.
Hmmmm I wish they’d make real chocolate then and I’d love to support them!
Floral❤

they don’t want you to read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because it sets you free
🌸
And yes you can eat up the extra because we all know that you work out 😊
the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is what everyone avoids because it’s too real
Hello Josie , I have one question you guys are always on the go i feel sad for your dogs who watches them for you 😢
They always have a friend staying at the house with them!
society would change overnight if more people read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki
❤❤❤eres hermosa princesa
Hello.
Can you do an updated house tour in 2025 please
the truth feels dangerous, and that’s why the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is ignored
😂Ali G
Tony's chocolate is horrid. You're better off with Cadburys!
We have been eating Tony’s Chocolony purchased from Whole Foods and as it states on label it is from Belgium, that was a good thing! I love the hazelnut one, but now, I need to go carefully read the label, might be the last bar I consume. Thanks for the heads up here!
