  • Hello, dear ones!
    Who else is starting to feel...well...very overwhelmed this holiday season? I most certainly am. However, as many of you have shared-- when we're feeling suffocated by all of our to-do's, the only thing we can do is take things one step at a time and gradually get things done. Today, the big to-do I tackled was my Christmas shopping. Though I was feeling overwhelmed at the start, it ended up being a really lovely day in the city ☕️
    **A really big, heartfelt hug & thank you to Holly who called and left the voice message at the end of today's video. Her story is a reminder that people are good and can really make this season a magical one. Here's to random acts of kindness and giving what we can, when we can ❤️

      It’s so nice to put a face to your name, Holly friend! Thank you so much for being vulnerable with us all and sharing Caroline’s story. You’ve helped so many people to feel the hope of kindness and generosity. With so much negativity going around, it’s so impactful to be shown that people are good and this season is magical ❤️

      Holly, I can relate so much to you, mama! My 7 year old son just had open heart surgery on September 20th (his 3rd), and I understand that need to keep safe from germs while also trying to provide those magical moments and memories with your little one. I have 2 other sons as well and it’s such a balancing act to allow them experiences while keeping the family safe. Sending you a special-needs-mama hug this Christmas season. I’m so happy that Caroline had a wonderful time! We’ve also been so touched by the kindness of others and their incredible generosity. Truly heartwarming. ❤

    I woke up this morning with an insane migraine and just wanted to stay in bed. But I can't, because I need to work, so I made myself a heartwarming cup of tea, grabbed my coziest of cozy blankets and watched your new video while having breakfast. My head still hurts a lot, but you gave me peace and calm, and I think working will be a little bit easier now. Thank you, Morgan. I hope you have an amazing day, and I'll see you on your next vlogmas 🎄💙

    I know what you mean lovely girl, about feeling overwhelmed with things at times, so I take a look at my Madge, my black rescue greyhound, and I take a lesson from her, sleeping peacefully on a comfy sofa, with not a care in the world! With her tummy full, and warm and snuggly. Sometimes, it just takes a moment to look around us, and to take some deep breaths, count down from 5 to 1, and realise that the world is not going to fall apart if we just relax, and take in the wonder that is around us. Love and warm hugs to you Morgan, and Happy Christmas to you three, from us two in a freezing ( only 1 degrees centigrade today) but beautiful, Devon, England. xxx

I'm the farthest from this, always grumpy, but I want to be more like you!! I'm so happy you got all your Christmas shopping done and that you made a new friend along the way!

    Morgan, this comment is kind of a love letter to you :) Your insights into your life are in a way magical to me, they are inspiring in a beautiful way. Your positive attitude towards life is unique - you never complain, and even unpleasant things that happened to you you tell us with a smile in your face: I have no idea how you manage to do this as I used to complain a lot and still do... could you let us know in a future video? Others may say "but that's just a video, this isn't real life" and yes, it's a video, however I believe that what you can't fake is authenticity. I love how you and Landon laugh together, how you guys talk with Monsieur Roo, the way you make your house a very special place full of personal objects and art, how you enjoy life and the small things. Thank you for making those beautiful videos and sharing them with the world, I am sure most of your viewers feel like I do :)

    Thank you for taking us along with you shopping in Portland. I loved shopping in Portland when I was lucky enough to visit. I'd tell my daughter to watch so she could enjoy those places too but she would be "homesick" for her summers there! My Nana used to put maple syrup on vanilla ice cream as a treat and I always thought it was odd when I was kid but she was a little ahead of her time,creating some different flavors (sometimes she would add crushed corn flakes) which reminds of Salt and Straw. 😊 Happy Birthday to Landon (tomorrow!) Your gifted hot drink made me so happy too. Thank you for sharing your joy in that. And to Caroline and her mom, I pray for good health visits and a healthy winter. I'm glad a community like exists exists for her mommy to feel apart of a group even when it isn't safe to get out into places where sicknesses are so prevalent,

    I just love the feeling of your videos! It makes me feel happy and cozy and I love to watch while I get mundane things done around the house. You’re helping me to see “cozy and thankfulness” in my life. I really appreciate your financial discussions and it really matters because when you were shopping local I was thinking that I wish I could do that but it’s so much more expensive. However, if I changed my mind set and bought less things and not as “big” gifts, then we could shop there. You officially just inspired me to add to my new year goals to shop local for gifts or re-gift or home make gifts! Thank you for the inspiration!

    "Being a human requires so much maintenance"- so true Mo! I am Feeling that so much this year. Ah this video brought so much joy! Portland looks so beautiful ✨️ I miss it so! Wow, I love every store you went to and all the gifts you chose! This year I can only afford to give a gift to my mom and mother in law, and even that will stretch my budget. Heartfelt cards all around though! It is so nice that you are able to acknowledge and appreciate how wonderful it is to be able to give gifts, shop local/small business and have a cozy festive home to wrap them in. Your self awareness and generous spirit are beautiful qualities friend! ❤️ Holly, your message brought happy tears 🥲 what a heart warming story of hope and kindness. Thank you for sharing this. I hope this Christmas is warm and full of love for your family!

    Little Otsu looked so cute. Your makeup is so pretty too. I admit this year, for some reason, doesn't feel like Christmas to me (which is sad for me, as it's my favorite holiday), so videos like these are helping me to appreciate the season so much.

    Today I spent the day christmas shopping with my best friend, when I got home I put on Love Actually and wrapped presents. I'm winding down for bed now and catching up on your videos to see that you did the very same thing! How fun!
    Merry Christmas Morgan! Thanks so much for sharing your life during such a special season with us

    Dear Morgan, this was the most delightfully cozy video! I loved seeing the cute places you visited and the gifts you chose. Shopping at independent stores is so much fun at this time of year, with all the holiday decor on display.
    I loved hearing about the random act of kindness you experienced at the cafe! That kind of simple action - whether as the giver or the receiver - can make your whole day. How brave of you to connect with Lauren too, and maybe start a new friendship!
    Thank you once again for making these Vlogmas videos. They’re such a joy and a comfort. ❤️

    Morgan, you bring so much joy and love into my life and I am sure many others. Christmas time can be difficult for some people. As we celebrate Christ's birth, some of us also experience loss and or depression. Your calming voice, your appreciation for what's in your life, your down to Earth ways...lift my soul and I thankyou. Merry Christmas with love from Quebec, Canada ❤🌲🍮
