thank you for talking about your phone call avoidance feelings, Grace!!! I relate so much and feel that many people probably feel similarly. I find that writing letters to people helps a lot when an in-person tough conversation comes up, but slowly trying to become better at proudly standing behind saying no in person, on the phone, etc. Thank you for being you
The reaction to the phone call is so real! I used to feel that way as a substitute teacher when they call at 5:30 am. I eventually stopped answering because I hated it! It is also your adrenaline triggering your "fight or flight response"
I don't know who and why you'd be teased about your videos but I am SO grateful you kept on posting. Your videos always make me feel better. I've been following you for at least over 4 years now and your videos have accompanied me through many many steps of my life (like going to live in Canada for the first time, then moving back to France and moving back to Canada again. I also had a terrible TERRIBLE time in 2019 when a chemical factory blew up in my city and when trying to escape for the weekend I was stuck, in shock, in a really cold train that had stopped in the middle of nowhere at like 10pm without any explanation and watching the video you'd posted at the time helped me SO MUCH that night. I just felt like I wasn't alone and I really enjoyed your comapny that night). I'm really grateful for your channel and that you and your very lovely family agree to share all of that with us. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and I hope your 2024 will be amazing. Thank you again.
Thank you SO much for your honest heart to heart - that was so relateable and kind! No need to feel sorry for sharing these things they mean a lot to your viewers
hey grace, i actually LOVE to consume content about how to take care of yourself when you are sad. merry christmas and thank you so much for keeping me company in this rough time x
What a lovely vlog, Grace. So great to see Chloe and Jesse and your dad. And I loved the idea of giving each segment of the family a basket of delights so that in some way you will still be together! (Of course you will be together in spirit and heart! You are family!) Merry Christmas, Grace!
Grace thank you! I’m a ballet dancer working in another country and because of performances I can’t go home this year. I can’t describe how much comfort your videos bring me. I miss England so much especially this time of year and watching your videos really reminds me of home! Merry Christmas!!❤️
I get you grack I was same on phone calls.... Now I'm better giving and answering them it came with trust and confidence in myself and hone my power back.... As if you don't want to do something you should never fee! Had going with your own feelings and self care xxx your amazing girl xx
Same feeling about the phone calls-except it was for substitute teaching! Dreaded the late night or early morning summons. I would unplug our land line to avoid the calls. (No emails or texting back then.).
This video came at a good time for me.And needed to hear all the message that you're sending both good and the bad.And I will say the good the bad and the unfortunate because sometimes things you're just unfortunate but we can turn them around sure we can
I’m still watching this vlog, catching up! I’m really glad you never gave up on your channel as you are such an inspiration. If there were more Graces in the world what a wonderful world it would be. Love you ❤xxx
Grace, you sound like me. Families do change, a lot, when people marry, sometimes move far away, and you feel like all the old traditions are disappearing. Just make new ones, and learn to adapt. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Grace! This February advent calendar is your billion dollar idea! How fun would that be! People are so sad after Christmas. This would be so awesome! Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work! You are such a light!!
Love how you want to carry on all your old family traditions (I found that hard to handle when I first went abroad) but you'll also need to start new trads with Rick 😊 All the best, thanks for your content this year. Have a great Christmas & NY x
Ugh literally thank you so much for the video on Boxing Day!! I’m always so bored because my family does Christmas on the Christmas Eve and then only some stuff half of Christmas Day
Omg thanks for sharing the story about the phne anxiety.. i used to think of myself as an weirdo coz of that... also love your videos so calming and soothing
While it wasn't January, my sister got me the bonne maman advent calendar last year, but it came late, so I saved it and did it for my birthday, which is in early March. Late winter advent is a good idea I think, might do it again this year.
I had such a good laugh this evening with you and JJ you are so funny with your embarrassing experiences. I look forward to watching all in the new year with Amelia who is so funny as well. Merry Christmas to you all and a happy New Year God blessXx
ohhh my gosh your dad and making the monkey danceeee i love this wholesome vlog lol. also I AM YOU about the phone calls, maybe not for the same reason, i havent explored the root of why im that way yet but i loathe phone calls too
Just wanted to wish and your family a very merry Christmas and Happy New year 🎉🎉 keep doing what you do grace . I love your vlogs , your so real and soo lovely. Keep being you. 😊❤🎉🎉
I have a similar issue with phone calls. It's one of the things that's put me off going for a job I really want because I know lots of making/recieving phone calls will be involved. I'm going to really try and overcome this in 2024. Can you please talk more about homesickness and how you manage this? How did you get on with homesickness moving out of your family home? Merry Christmas everyone 😊
I just bought a super reduced one in Dec. It is for Jan. But yes, Grack's January Blues Advent Calendar with a range of her favourite smellies and treats would be so amazing. I would buy it too.
@@irenestrongrock4106 your idea was more genius than mine. I'd rather have a January Grack calendar than my usual January chocolate advent calender. This year I found one for £1 in mid Dec. Such a bargain. 😉
Our TV remote has disappeared into the chaos so I have Grack beamed to the TV & my little girl just got SO EXCITED coz she also got those drum sticks 😅🎄 merry Christmas
I also hate talking on the phone. I think it's because I prefer having conversations face to face so I can try to read their body language cues and facial expressions. Over the phone I feel disconnected and like I can't 'read' the other person.
Hate phone calls too and never figured out my phobia but similar fears to you! Never call anyone either except my husband and mom! On an unrelated note, the AMOUNT of perfume you used!! I've never seen so much used 😂😅 doesn't it give you a headache? Is it a light perfume?
Thank YOU for always putting a smile on my face! You are such a light. I really enjoyed this video. Probably one of my favourite vlogmas’. Happy holidays 🎄♥️
I’m so sorry to hear about your bad experience in modelling 😢 you should check out Ro Mitchell as she does lots of videos on her experience of exposure therapy (for a different fear but can be relatable) and it might help?
American here. I call them "crêpes", but a waitress I'd ordered from the last time, kept calling them "crapes". Maybe there's no correct pronunciation?
I am sad that you are not Catholic. Because Christmas really starts at midnight Christmas Eve and lasts thru January. The 12 days of Christmas is from Christmas day on..... Advent is a minor lent, so it is meant to be preparing for celebrating the birth of Christ. But the world has changed everything sadly .... Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Maybe she is. How about you give and allow everyone to give as they would like as well. No need to announce it unless someone just wants attention for giving which goes against the reason for doing it in the first place.
We understand about life having ups and downs, the pressure to always be positive online, and things like homesickness. Thanks for sharing with us ❤❤❤

LOVED seeing Papa Booth with his monkey stuffy!!!! ❤
We have that cook book and my kids loved it when they were young and stilll use it today - they're 21 and 17 now 😂
Man if you ever made a January Advent calendar I would buy the heck out of that!
I just bought a super reduced one in Dec. It is for Jan.
But yes, Grack's January Blues Advent Calendar with a range of her favourite smellies and treats would be so amazing. I would buy it too.
@@timtreefrog9646 oh you’re genius, idk why I didn’t think to do that! And I know right, it would be so perfect if she did just what you described.

Yes please to the January advent ❤
You are the only person (other than me) of whom I've ever heard, who adds Grape-Nuts into other cereals to keep the crunch on!
Merry Christmas!! Love the vlogs!
Hi from Australia Thanks for what you do ❤i really enjoy watching your vlogs Merry Christmas x
You should come out with a book of all your favourite recipes ☺️ would definitely buy
I also hate talking on the phone. I think it's because I prefer having conversations face to face so I can try to read their body language cues and facial expressions. Over the phone I feel disconnected and like I can't 'read' the other person.
Gorgeous jumper, Grace! (Navy and green - you look sensational in this stripey things!)
Hi, what are your favourite cookbooks?
I love you eat everything regardless and that you open up about your modeling times ...
Yay - the Booths! Such wholesome content x
Hate phone calls too and never figured out my phobia but similar fears to you! Never call anyone either except my husband and mom! On an unrelated note, the AMOUNT of perfume you used!! I've never seen so much used 😂😅 doesn't it give you a headache? Is it a light perfume?
I feel the same about phone calls!!
Thank YOU for always putting a smile on my face! You are such a light. I really enjoyed this video. Probably one of my favourite vlogmas’. Happy holidays 🎄♥️

you’re so lucky you get to do activities with your family 😭
That is such a wise analysis of your fear of phone calls.
Merry Christmas Grack 🫶🏻

I don’t mind asnswering phone calls, they called me it’s up to them to talk. I hate making phone calls because it’s hard to get my thoughts together
❤❤❤❤❤
I get anxious about text notifications. For similar work reasons.
Take that ❤
How old is your cat

You need to give back, all the people supporting you, you need to give back to some charities instead of worrying about matching Christmas pajamas
Maybe she is. How about you give and allow everyone to give as they would like as well. No need to announce it unless someone just wants attention for giving which goes against the reason for doing it in the first place.
