    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!❤🙏🎄

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.

    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 🥑
