Obviously what you decided to put in your videos doesn’t represent the whole day or your entire life but I just wanna say that I enjoyed the atmosphere in these clips. My Christmas memories mainly consist of my parents arguing over literally everything and my mother who desperately tried to hide the fact that they were both mentally struggling because of my dads illness and couldn’t express their feelings over the situation to each other. Both of my parents have since passed away, I’m now 25 without any family left and Christmas just does not happen for me anymore. I try to ignore it, don’t decorate and try not to cry for 3 days straight. I used to be so jealous of people who could do what you were doing in this video but now I’m just grateful that I can be happy for the kids who will never feel what I’ve felt during holidays. Videos like these are like therapy to me, so genuinely - thank you for sharing this with us. ❤ You guys have become comfort people on here. ❤
I just wanted to say I saw your message and I’m sorry Christmas is a difficult time for you. You’re not alone in that and I hope you manage to do what brings you happiness over the festive period and this becomes a tradition for you. I know many people who go away for Christmas and don’t do all the typical traditions so put yourself first and do what makes you happy ❤
There’s such a huge emphasis on the “joy of Christmas” that it can make those of us who don’t have family feel like everyone is having a great time except. Rarely do we see the reality of it, which can add to the loneliness. I’m so sorry for you that Christmas has never been a happy time for you, but I hope you can find a way to make it your own. Sarah Millican, the comedian, does an online thing for people who are alone. Might be worth looking up. I might do it myself! I usually cook for all and un dry, but my mother is an emotionally cruel woman so I cut her out of my life last year, my brother is going to his girlfriends parents and he probably won’t drop by because he lives further away since moving in with her, and my ex usually comes here to spend it with our son but he’s going to his parents for dinner this year as they’re having everyone over there. I asked if our son was welcome (of course he is) so that he can be around family and not just be with me. It’s difficult knowing I have family, but will be alone. I just try to focus on my sons 15th birthday on Boxing Day and I’ll put my energy into that. I have spent Christmas completely alone when I was your age (I’m 46 now) and I just watched movies all day and made myself a roast dinner. I chose o just e it as a wee holiday and not think of what everyone else might be doing. I’ll be thinking of you on the day 🫶🏻💖 xx
Oh honey I'm so sorry😢. I do understand what you're going through to an extent. My big sissy passed when she was 7 and I was barely 4. Then my daddy died in front of me while we were at the movie theater watching a Xmas movie 3 days before Xmas. I was traumatized for many years and I still have trouble. I pray that you'll meet the right person soon and you can have some kiddos because they REALLY DO make the holidays fun. I want you to enjoy holidays again because they're important!❤🙏🎄
Editor did an incredible job adding all the mini captions they really made me chuckle, I think Charlie’s excuse me to the floating elf was my favourite!
12:35 - Baby's face.. tbh the whole 3s shot - Kyle casually holding her like that, not knowing how funny & cute it looked. EPIC. Loved it.. JUST everything
Oh wow!! This makes me miss my kids being little!!! My youngest is now 14, MOUTHY and over 6 foot tall! I'm very lucky though because my eldest spoiled me and gave me a granddaughter who's 5!! I'm so excited to decorate with her!!! I cannot wait!! Happy Christmas everyone!!!
What a fantastic video!! I truly love your family! Olivia's relationship with your camera is 2nd to none! Its like she's fascinated with seeing her self! Sophie and Charlie are quite nonechelant aboute it all. Fabulous family 😘💜😘
I laughed at the remote not understanding your voice command with the kids making a racket in the background. But I'm honestly impressed. The kids seem really settled in and mellow. Charlie is cute as a button, talking so much.
Love how the kids' accents are changing. I miss UK Christmas so much and Garden Centres. Somehow it's more Christmasy over there despite the lack of snow. Canadian Christmases are always white, but nowhere near the same atmosphere.
I’m Australian and I find it so interesting when you explain the differences between American and the UK I thought Australia’s was a lot more like UK but we are a mix of both
I love all your ornaments! I have a similar hodge-pudge, but they’re all special. I let my little guy pick one out every year that matches his interests and we buy an ornament every year that represents our family. I try to write the year on the bottom with a tiny sharpie. I’m planning to pass his ornaments to him for his first tree when he’s an adult.
Kyle needs culturing in British Christmas songs. I didn't realise they had different christmas classics to us. I think we need a reaction video of this😂
Love Garsons soooo much!!! Gotta get a Christmas visit scheduled in 😁 so random how we all love a garden center trip, took my toddler to a Squires just the other day! Sophie is sounding so English now!
Love Garson’s Farm shop, just gorgeous. Best bit about Christmas is having a duvet day on Boxing Day. Pop a crackling fire 🔥 video on UA-cam and there you go, cosy fireplace. 🎄
I love your content, Caroline. Your family is beautiful and so entertaining. Love the American-British banter between you and Kyle. Looking forward to the next one 🎄☃🌎 Sorry if too intrusive but I am curious to know what Kyle's job is since leaving the marines / moving to the UK? No worries if not. Once he starts his UK job, could you do a Q&A with him about the differences between US and UK workplaces? As former cabin crew, interested to know how you feel when you fly now as a passenger. Are you a good passenger or do you know too much about the 'behind the scenes'? So, so cute that Charlie has named his favourite avocado toy 'Kyle' and when he called out his name and pointed to the large avocado in the shop 🥑
Christmas is the best!! With early morning wake ups present opening and Christmas lunch! Boxing Day is cold meat and pickles with bubble and squeak. Has Kyle been introduced to bubble and squeak. We always put the leftover stuffing in ours. Yummy! xx
I'm going to love watch your Christmas celebrations. I'm Canadian so I get the best of both worlds. British spelling (coloUr, favoUrite, neighboUr,) and traditions and holidays (Boxing Day 🎄🎅). Oh and I'm in Manitoba so we get a ton of SNOW. ❄☃ Only sad part is I live in an apartment so no fireplace.
I had to go back to make sure you said Gavin and Stacey 😍 I didn't know there'd be a Christmas special this year, but I hope we can watch it in the States!
I’m originally from Kent but live in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 boy do I miss garden centres boots and the holy grail m&s I spent $42 to get a small M&s Xmas pudding last year 😱
OMG. I laughed so hard watching you both food shop..Did you guy's have the Munchies.? I love watching you always put a smile on my face. And Dam girl, you look great in that dress.
@@Mummysflippinhousewe have snow here in east Yorkshire this morning gone now but my part of uk we are in dip so we don't get snow until next day when comes from hills
If you’ve still got that pumpkin (or for next year if Charlie’s still golf mad) then plastic or wooden golf tees hammer really well into pumpkins for a fun activity! Gave us literally hours of fun over the span of a few days 😊

The top of the tree against the ceiling is my favourite part 😂
I love this! Your channel makes me happy. Your husband sounds like Seth Rogan. Lol

I love how Olivia is always smiling and in her own world 😍🥰🥰
She is the happiest of babies we’ve had it’s so funny
🌲Awww happy happy vibes you're giving and sending ✨. Lovely to see all the effort and love you put into your family 🎅🤶
When Sophie said “I fink” British gal ❤
I’m so guilty of speaking like that 🤦🏼♀️
It was adorable! I’m the same, and I’m always like “ain’t it” but catch myself I mean isn’t it 🤦🏼♀️
Sophie's English accent is really starting to develop, so sweet!
Honestly, so much JOY! This gives all the hugs and warm cosy feels to everyone who needs it. Thank you so much!
How amazing is that little Christmas tree dress. I mean, come on 🤣it’s adorable.
Editor did an incredible job adding all the mini captions they really made me chuckle, I think Charlie’s excuse me to the floating elf was my favourite!
Boxing Day is spent in your PJs, watching telly, eating chocolate and watching the kids play with their toys ❤️
12:35 - Baby's face.. tbh the whole 3s shot - Kyle casually holding her like that, not knowing how funny & cute it looked. EPIC. Loved it.. JUST everything
Oh wow!! This makes me miss my kids being little!!! My youngest is now 14, MOUTHY and over 6 foot tall! I'm very lucky though because my eldest spoiled me and gave me a granddaughter who's 5!! I'm so excited to decorate with her!!! I cannot wait!! Happy Christmas everyone!!!
Never been to the UK but this makes me want to spend a Christmas in the UK! 🇬🇧 love hearing all the traditions
Merry Christmas!!🎄
The whole of England gasps when Kyle says ‘I don’t know that song’ 😮😮😂😂😂
Even me in Sweden 😂🇸🇪
"The Holiday" is a favorite movie of mine all year round, not just for the "holiday"! Nice that you and your Mum watch it together!😊❤
As a Canadian living in the U.S., I appreciate “What’s your favOUrite colOUr?” and the Boxing Day chat ❤️
Kyle needs to binge Gavin and Stacey before Christmas!
The best Christmas specials, I don’t think there is a comparison!
I miss Christmas in the UK soooo much!!! We’re in the States now, but we still celebrate Boxing Day and it’s also my oldest daughter’s birthday!!!
What a fantastic video!! I truly love your family! Olivia's relationship with your camera is 2nd to none! Its like she's fascinated with seeing her self! Sophie and Charlie are quite nonechelant aboute it all. Fabulous family 😘💜😘
I bet you wake up every morning seeing how settled the kids are and fink we did it ❤
That garden centre is unreal 😍
Posh bit of Surrey 😁 I travel from a non posh bit to go there hah, worth it!
It's like that in my part of uk as well have travel to posh part of east Yorkshire to go to a nicer garden centre
I love seeing all the tree decorations! Every ornament has a story and it’s lovely!
I laughed at the remote not understanding your voice command with the kids making a racket in the background. But I'm honestly impressed. The kids seem really settled in and mellow. Charlie is cute as a button, talking so much.
Aww Sophie's little accent changing 🥹🩷
I love all the stories for all your tree ornaments. Beautiful family memories ❤
The very best type of Christmas is when small humans get so excited they lose their minds 😂🎄
Love how the kids' accents are changing. I miss UK Christmas so much and Garden Centres. Somehow it's more Christmasy over there despite the lack of snow. Canadian Christmases are always white, but nowhere near the same atmosphere.
We had snow in uk today not alot but to make me put central heating on
I’m Australian and I find it so interesting when you explain the differences between American and the UK I thought Australia’s was a lot more like UK but we are a mix of both
I want a dress like Sophie's!! It's so pretty and fun! I'm also now about 47 % mor enthusiastic about Xmas, thanks to your video. :)
there is just something g so calming about watching your vlogs! I loveee them 😍🤍

Oh my god, Olivia dress I love it
I love ur vlogs ppl don't do them as often anymore so shorts which i totally get but it's nice to watch long vlog sometimes. Ty for sharing ur family!
A 30 minute Christmas video! Thank you for the gift queen. ❤

Im excited for you! The tree looks wonderful! Happy Christmas !
I just love watching your beautiful family.. Happy Christmas or as we say in the States Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
We say "Merry Christmas" in Great Britain too.
I love love love Olivia’s Christmas Tree dress. 🎄 You have so many festive things to do enjoy 🎅🚂❄️
Love Garsons soooo much!!! Gotta get a Christmas visit scheduled in 😁 so random how we all love a garden center trip, took my toddler to a Squires just the other day! Sophie is sounding so English now!
i enjoyed this video way more than i expected😍
As an American living in the UK, I still can’t put up Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving.
I agree November is too early (I'm a Brit.). 😀
@jennyk488 my tree goes up on December 1 and not before way to early
Thoroughly enjoyed this video ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Merry Christmas xx

Aww I’m so glad your here in the UK Happy Christmas ❄️❄️❄️❄️❤️❤️
The way "hob" and "fridge" just rolled off Kyle's tongue... He's acclimatizing
And he said “what not” brilliant
Don't they say fridge in the usa?
Love watching your family life
This has been the best video❤ Thanks so much for sharing. Happy Christmas 🎄🤶
I just wish I had a ton of money to buy all of those gorgeous outfits, the car and food and decorations. Lovely video thanks.
What a fun video, your family is lovely. From Canada and we always say Merry Christmas, many British traditions carry on in Canada!
I love your content, Caroline. Your family is beautiful and so entertaining. Love the American-British banter between you and Kyle. Looking forward to the next one 🎄☃🌎
Sorry if too intrusive but I am curious to know what Kyle's job is since leaving the marines / moving to the UK? No worries if not. Once he starts his UK job, could you do a Q&A with him about the differences between US and UK workplaces?

So, so cute that Charlie has named his favourite avocado toy 'Kyle' and when he called out his name and pointed to the large avocado in the shop 🥑
Everytime Charlie picked up a decoration and put it on the floor 😂😂😂 “it’s not for kicking”
Love ur vids and learning more about ur customs and culture and scenery. From Ohio USA ❤
Boxing day! It's the food! - cold meats, cold roasties, cheeses, pickles, christmas dinner sandwiches, and < drum roll > the festive pork pie!
Your daughter is so sweet omgsh!!!
I have been waiting for this video. You are all so amazing.
I’m loving hearing Sophie’s English accent develop ❤
I love Kyle’s obsession with ‘The Holiday’ 😂
Sophie's accent!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such a fun video! The Christmas outfits were all great, the store was incredible and your tree is beautiful!
Loved this festive vlog
🎅🎄
Thank you for sharing ❤️🎅
Have you visited Savill Garden? Apparently they have a Christmas tree shop and kids play area, plus all the Windsor Great Park attractions.
Huge fan of you guys! Hopefully get to meet you someday!❤❤ lots of love from 🇨🇦
Christmas is the best!! With early morning wake ups present opening and Christmas lunch! Boxing Day is cold meat and pickles with bubble and squeak. Has Kyle been introduced to bubble and squeak. We always put the leftover stuffing in ours. Yummy! xx
I am so excited for the Gavin snd Stacy xmas special too!
That Boden dress is such a winner
Garsons Farm is a must for Chtistmas decorations, visit in the summer and pick strawberries with the kids. Love it there!
We had snow in London this morning so maybe a white Christmas isn’t totally out of the realm of possibilities
I have no faith. The snow didn’t even settle😂 but I love your optimism ❤️
Should put a bet on it to see we get snow this year or not

What an amazing shop I’ve never ever cn sooo much xmas,
Loved this!! You have to get Kyle to catch up on Gavin and Stacey before this Christmas's last episode! Merry Christmas to you all xx 🎄🎅🎁💝
Ahhh the good old Santa face cookie plate! We’ve has that for 12yrs! A good ol Christmas Eve feature
You have such a lovely family
Love Garsons! My whole childhood all my presents came from that shop 😅
Garson’s is amazing! Definitely take the kids strawberry picking next year! Xxx
I hope Kyle got his snow today? We got it up here near Liverpool 🌨️❄️. Lovely video 👏👏😍❣️
Been following on instagram for a while, glad I made the trek over to UA-cam! Thoroughly enjoying your videos! ❤❤❤
I’m originally from Kent but live in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 boy do I miss garden centres boots and the holy grail m&s I spent $42 to get a small M&s Xmas pudding last year 😱
If can get visit to target in usa they sell some of m and s food bits for Christmas this year
Awwwww ❤ love you all. Merry Christmas 🎄
Ohh Soph is taking on that English accent😊 so Amazing!❤😉
I’ve only now realised how people hang their stockings lol 😂 never knew you could buy such things!!
So exciting ❤🎉Christmas xx
I only live up the road but still such a novelty to see Garson’s and the high street ha!
I bought that Christmas tree dress for my niece who hasn’t been born yet! But like, what if they don’t have it next year!!
OMG. I laughed so hard watching you both food shop..Did you guy's have the Munchies.? I love watching you always put a smile on my face. And Dam girl, you look great in that dress.
Sophie’s American accent is slowly fading away it’s so cute 🩷
Going to a garden centre at Christmas in the UK should be mandatory 😂 calling a crunchie a BISCUIT hurt my british heart, its honeycomb 😂😂
Loved this video! Where did you get your Christmas pajamas from?❤
They are Chelsea Peers x
C&K banging on about how we barely get any snow in the UK 🤝🏻Me watching this after having loads of snow in Surrey this morning 🤣
We live in Surrey. We had no snow…but sure 😂

Getting snowy in scotland now 😊
Aye, merry Christmas we'd say in Scotland
CAN YOU PLEASE LINK THE VACUUM YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT YOU USE? Thank you so very much for your time also you have an absolutely beautiful family.
I love Olivia’s Christmas tree dress. Is it a UK find ? I love a pantomime.
Ooooh, where is your mums sideboard from? The one kyle had to push? Looking for one for our house
Hey it’s from Cotswold company x
@@Mummysflippinhouse oooh, awesome, thank you - found some on ebay, perfect :)
Charlies accent is so cute and confused 😂😂😂
Are you planning on staying at your Mom's house or are you looking for another place? Personally I would stay as long as you can. It's a great house.
Sophie’s accent is changing ❤
Brilliant video, I watched it twice 🤣❤️❤️
