@ ❤️would love to see you play the piano more too. I loved you and Jessica singing back and forth the other day. You guys were literally made for each other. More piano, less bread. 🤣🤣🤣
I just watched vlogsgiving video from 2015 and it was sooooo cute to see you guys from back then!!! can you pleaseeee do a reaction video of you two watching a super old video of yourselves like that and talk about what you do/don't remember and how much everything has changed?? 🥰
I absolutely loved high school when I went. Then I raised raised 7 children (5 birth children and 2 foster children) through high school. My last two, twins, are seniors this year. I am now so completely done with high school, or school in general. Our eldest child started preschool in 1993, and I still have children in school. I am an exhaustion of patience. 😴
Honestly guys these vlogmas videos are such a highlight in my day. Tyler, I have to say that those Egypt videos were so worth the wait. They are top notch from front to back!
Guys!! I just realized my kids are closer to your ages than I am. I turned 50 😳. When you mention high school being part of life, I got thinking my son graduated 13 years ago 😊. I think though when the high schools have their productions this spring, I’m gonna have to buy a ticket and see my picture up on the wall with my graduation class. 😂 On a serious note thank you so much for doing vlogmas, I lost my 28-year-old daughter Christian Leigh , in June 12/24. I’m doing as well as expected. Your Vlogs are always so cheery and fun. They bring me joy. I adore your little family. Thank you for everything you guys do. I really appreciate you guys. 💕
I am so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. Christmas is such a bittersweet time , as it reminds us of all the lovely memories with beautiful family and friends… some who we’ve lost much too soon. Vlogmas truly is a part of my holiday tradition - i couldn’t imagine December without the Brauns ❤💚❤️
@@reencampbell4481 Thank you! Vlogmas brings me some joy during this dark time. It means so much to me. I watch it every year. It really is a tradition. They have touched many a people’s lives. Happy Holidays God Bless
“An exhaustion of patience” is my new favourite quote and I’m going to use it from now on. I have no idea what the context will ever be but I will make a way 🤣
Wowow you guys talking about the game of golf reminded me of my grandma teaching me when I was a child in their camper while we were on a summer camping trip! What a trip down memory lane 🥲
I have Been watching your videos for forever. Love vlogmas every year. My husband is a high school show choir director, and I’m a pianist and we’ve recently gotten to work with the director of the program whose concert you went to!! We were watching this vlog together from AZ and loved it. 😍 also laughed at the euchre segment. We said “what the heck is euchre” right as you said “people on the west coast probably said “what the heck is euchre?!” lol can confirm.
Loving vlogmas! I also loved hearing you talk about high school. I am a high school educator/counselor, so I think I’ve never gone through that stage of not being around that age of kiddos. They are the best!
I'm of the school of thought you can't be too cautious when a baby/toddler gets hurt. It's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry. You're just being good parents. It's so sweet that you had a special night out with Gigi. Hi Uncle Jason❣️ Tyler, you're starting to look like a football player. You're workouts are really pumping you up. Jessica, you're just as lovely as ever! I've been kind of quiet watching your Vlogmas videos, but for some reason, I'm feeling very vocal today.😂
Teacher momma of a 6 yr old here and the Freudian slip of an exhaustion of patience made me laugh so much harder than it should have 😅 so either I’m getting hysterical or that’s my own Freudian slip 😂
Better safe than sorry. My great grandmother lost her 8 year old son when he fell and hit his head. They thought he was ok but he fell asleep and never woke up. So glad felicity is ok!
Exhaustion of patience made me laugh. 😂 I looooooved being in show choir in high school! It was way too much fun. Also, my family here in northwestern PA also enjoy playing euchre.
My grandson is a freshman this year, he is in marching band they went to a state competition a few weeks ago out of 21 bands his group came in 4th really proud of him. They are going to Washington in January I think my husband and I were wishing they would be playing in the inauguration that would be such a memory for them to have. He loves it does not really care about competition which is fun a happy memory to keep. ❤❤❤❤
I started following your channel a year ago. I was looking for another Vlogmas channel and yours popped up in my search. Then I found your Disney & travel videos (I love watching Rick Steves, Samantha Brown and Curious Travels). I then subscribed to Jessica’s channel!
If you ever need an group game, Left Center Right is SUPER FUN. Many ages can play. Use dollar bills after you learn to play with the tokens. Winner gets the pot. So fun and hilarious.
I’m behind on Vlogmas, but that parking quandary, what the heck? You’d think a venue would have ample parking, but no, I think it’s to make you want what you’re about to see more! 😅 And Pinocchio’s side eye at the start of the sit down. 🤣 Love you all, sweet little family.
The game talk at the end ❤ My family is a big games family. We always play Rummikub the "Oma way" she liked to make up rules to help her win, and she taught us to play Rummikub. Unbeknownst to us until this year the rules are quite different 😂 We also play euchre here in Ontario, Canada. When I was in high school, we would play at lunch time in the cafeteria. I'm pretty sure at one point we had a betting ring going on 😅
We love Guillotine!! I bought it when our son was a little younger (he’s 17 now) when we learned about the French Revolution. And it is on our regular game rotation. We went a good several months and played it just about every single night. It’s so perfectly cut throat (no pun intended)!! Everyone we play it with enjoys it also!!!
Oh my, was I a kid with an abundance of caution! Which makes it even more hilarious the way I sustained my worst injury as a child. I KNEW better than to go down that steep hill on my scooter. I full sent it anyway! 😂 Flew and ended up about 2 feet away from plonking in the pond. Couldn't tell you why I did it, but I still have the scar beneath my chin haha.
Talking about visiting high school....I work at my old high school. And my son is about to enter the Jr high I went to. It's such a crazy but lovely feeling to see kids in high school that I enjoyed back early 2000s.
Do you ever have days where I say “I have a hand like a foot” can’t do nothing right! Seems like the start of your day 😮 I always look forward to Vlogmas with the Brauns every year, Thanks
A couple of our favorite games are sequence and cribbage.. and fun fact since cribbage is played with playing cards… we buy them when we travel as a souvenir to remember our trip and to play cribbage with them! 😄
Show choir! And thanks for reminding us about that classic Middle ep. And as a mom of kids in their 20’s…my ❤ still hurts when any of them are sick now!😢
My parents always told us not to run in the house and, of course, we didn’t listen until I ran into the kitchen counter and stubbed my toe so hard I broke my foot. Best believe we didn’t run through the house after that. Glad Felicity was okay! 🥰
Euchre is a northern Midwest thing. I learned from someone from Michigan and I am from Missouri-we had never heard of it….but once we did play it, it was awesome!!!!
My grandparents are from Ohio/Michigan and I was raised playing Euchre!! My family still plays regularly but no one out here in the southwest knows what it is 😂
I love games. Some good suggestions are Roll For It, Qwirkle, Rummikub, I’m totally blanking on my massive game collection right now. Oh! One of my favorites is Formation. I love that game so much and it is very simple once you can memorize what the cards do.
Jess, have one more kid it’ll go away! 🤣 One of my boys bumps their head, falls, comes over to me bleeding I’m like you’re fine, grab an ice pack/bandaid lol.
Oof, I feel that about waking up early when you don’t have to, literally the worst. I feel you Jessica about being in a funk. I know working out will always make things a million times better. Yesterday was definitely one of those days for me, but instead of working out I went to see Sunset Blvd (the music version, not the movie) Also, it’s crazy how many games you can play with a deck of cards, because I’ve never heard of the games you mentioned. Also also, when you mentioned ‘The Game’ I lost the game.
On the high school thing … I had a son while in college. Didn’t get married to his stepdad until he was 10, now he has two little sisters the age of your girls. Anyway he graduated high school last year and while he was there I loved getting to go back to the high school stuff. And now I feel like I’m cheating because I’ll get to experience it all over again when my girls are grown. But you going to that show kinda gave me permission I don’t know I needed to book the ticket. Even though I don’t have a kid at the school my girls will adore these shows and the kids really are so talented. Yay! Anyone reading this Book the ticket at your local high school. It’ll be worth it and it all goes to a great cause!! Yay This will also give my girls the vision of what’s available to them when they get there. Book ALL the tickets. Chorus, theatre, football, basketball, jazz band … cheap entertainment and opens a world of possibilities for the littles
Oh, also, I noticed when going to my son’s basketball games that some older couples would be volunteering at the ticket table every game. I asked them if they had a grandson and they said “no, we just enjoy watching the young people living this part of their lives - gets us out of the house and something to enjoy.” I hope I think to do something like that when my kids are all grown. They were so sweet. Knew all the players by name. And this was a BIG high school. 800 in his graduating class
Today our son (almost 2) bumped his head and there was blood and it was horrifying. He’s totally fine and the bleeding stopped really fast which was a huge blessing but man the mom guilt is crushing. Totally understand how yall felt and glad Felicity is feeling better!
My husband is from Indiana and his family is crazy about Euchre. I had never heard of it before I met him and personally find it confusing. His family takes it so seriously though and they play at all family gatherings. It's intimidating! 😂
Glad Felicity is okay!! Kid injuries are all scary no matter what: I’m glad it wasn’t worse. Our son hit his eye on our coffee table at 18 months old, and had to get 3 stitches. We no longer have a coffee table! It scared me daily someone would get hurt again.
gonna start using the phrase “an exhaustion of patience” in my everyday life now
Tell me you're a parent without telling me you're a parent 😂
Could you possibly love this family any more.?! Tyler and Jessica are so funny 😂❤
Calling Dr Freud cracked me up 😂
Between Tyler’s channel for vlogmas and Jessica’s channel, I spend more time with your family during the holidays than I do my own. 😂😂😂
Haha! We’re happy to be a part of your holiday season.
@ ❤️would love to see you play the piano more too. I loved you and Jessica singing back and forth the other day. You guys were literally made for each other. More piano, less bread. 🤣🤣🤣
Omg 😂 I feel the same way 😊
I just watched vlogsgiving video from 2015 and it was sooooo cute to see you guys from back then!!! can you pleaseeee do a reaction video of you two watching a super old video of yourselves like that and talk about what you do/don't remember and how much everything has changed?? 🥰
I love that idea!
That’s a cute idea.
That is a cute idea!
And it only took until day 5 for the mention of Bananagrams! 😂🍌
Tyler kills me! "Calling Doctor Freud!" 😂
I absolutely loved high school when I went. Then I raised raised 7 children (5 birth children and 2 foster children) through high school. My last two, twins, are seniors this year. I am now so completely done with high school, or school in general. Our eldest child started preschool in 1993, and I still have children in school. I am an exhaustion of patience. 😴
Hahah! I’m sure!
Honestly guys these vlogmas videos are such a highlight in my day. Tyler, I have to say that those Egypt videos were so worth the wait. They are top notch from front to back!
Ever since Jessica talked about “oiling wood” I get HYPE when Tyler films it for us. Great bit, Team Braun. 😂😂😂
lol! I have gotten to where I CAN NOT start the video… until I spot Tiny Tyler. 😂 Also… that picture cracks me up.
Go see Wicked during the day! Technically, it’s for work! 🤣
Guys!! I just realized my kids are closer to your ages than I am. I turned 50 😳. When you mention high school being part of life, I got thinking my son graduated 13 years ago 😊.

Jessica - you have a beautiful voice!
“An exhaustion of patience” is my new favourite quote and I’m going to use it from now on. I have no idea what the context will ever be but I will make a way 🤣
I totally adore the Braun Family Vlogmas every year, smiles, and love it's what makes the world go round 🥰🤗🐾🎄
I was laughing so hard when you mentioned the episode of The Middle. Poor Sue Sue Heck😂😂
Everyone needs a Funcle Jason! Glad Felicity is ok! I am a mom of 13 years and injuries still throw me for a loop, but you just get through them.
Exhaustion of patience 😂
Ooohhh I heard patients cuz it was a doctor hahahaha
@tabithak5943 🤣
Wowow you guys talking about the game of golf reminded me of my grandma teaching me when I was a child in their camper while we were on a summer camping trip! What a trip down memory lane 🥲
These vlogmas videos are my favorite vlogs of the entire year. I think I just love the relaxed normal life stuff ❤❤❤❤

2am feeding my 2 day old and so thankful for your videos to help keep me stay awake ❤❤❤ love vlogmas!!
We LOVE villainous in our house!! Different expansions packs allow you to play all kinds of characters!
I swear both of you are one of the top favorites People on UA-cam as a family which I have been watching for so long 😽😽😽
Thank you! That’s so nice!
Ahh i love that yall brought up The Middle, its soooo good!!! It and Bobs burgers are my #1s lol
16:53 Piles! I enjoy it so much but also my kids can play it (8 and 11). I think you two would love it
Love the way you guys look at each other soook cute ❤ also my fav part of Vlogmas is towards the end when you guys are tired 😂
Teacher momma of a 6 yr old here and the Freudian slip of an exhaustion of patience made me laugh so much harder than it should have 😅 so either I’m getting hysterical or that’s my own Freudian slip 😂
Better safe than sorry. My great grandmother lost her 8 year old son when he fell and hit his head. They thought he was ok but he fell asleep and never woke up. So glad felicity is ok!
So nice of you to go to a HS showchoir event. My son is in showchoir and has loved it
We have a Family Tradition of buying a new game for our family collection each year to play together. We love this tradition.
Chickenfoot is a greattttt game! So easy and fun and you can actually have a conversation while playing so that’s great, too!!
A Little Wordy is one of my favorite two player games. It’s sort of a word game but you’re trying to figure out the other persons word. It’s so fun!
That cutting board looks pretty nice. 😂
Exhaustion of patience made me laugh. 😂
I looooooved being in show choir in high school! It was way too much fun.
Also, my family here in northwestern PA also enjoy playing euchre.

That’s awesome, welcome to the fam!
Sequence card game is fun!
Yea I get it Jessica. I get a bit anxiety when the kids are sick. It's normal.
My 2 sons are in high school. Oldest is a Senior and he is in Show Choir. Their Christmas performance is Tuesday. 🎄🎼
If you ever need an group game, Left Center Right is SUPER FUN. Many ages can play. Use dollar bills after you learn to play with the tokens. Winner gets the pot. So fun and hilarious.
Holiday Spec! I’d recognize that half a mile walk anywhere.
I’m behind on Vlogmas, but that parking quandary, what the heck? You’d think a venue would have ample parking, but no, I think it’s to make you want what you’re about to see more! 😅 And Pinocchio’s side eye at the start of the sit down. 🤣 Love you all, sweet little family.
I have an exhaustion of patience quite often! 😂
I knew Banangrams would be mentioned! Lol
Omg I love the middle! ❤
Exploding Kittens!!!
Its not a mindless game, but it's AMAZING! We are obsessed, it's soooo fun! There's a bunch of different versions of it too!
An abundance caution generally leads to an exhaustion of patience 😂
My husband and I play Couch Skeletons and Scout all the time. I love card games.
The game talk at the end ❤ My family is a big games family. We always play Rummikub the "Oma way" she liked to make up rules to help her win, and she taught us to play Rummikub.

I'm pretty sure at one point we had a betting ring going on 😅
Always err on the side of caution. The reverse creates too much guilt! I did really like the new phrase, though. “Exhaustion of patience”. Good one!
We love Guillotine!! I bought it when our son was a little younger (he’s 17 now) when we learned about the French Revolution. And it is on our regular game rotation. We went a good several months and played it just about every single night. It’s so perfectly cut throat (no pun intended)!! Everyone we play it with enjoys it also!!!

Lol! California here. Euchre is a Midwest game, but I have played when my friends from Indiana brought it over.
Do you ever have days where I say “I have a hand like a foot” can’t do nothing right! Seems like the start of your day 😮 I always look forward to Vlogmas with the Brauns every year, Thanks
Lord, I have an exhaustion of patience almost daily! 🤣
Haha I hear ya!
A couple of our favorite games are sequence and cribbage.. and fun fact since cribbage is played with playing cards… we buy them when we travel as a souvenir to remember our trip and to play cribbage with them! 😄
Canadian Euchre fan!! Official game of every family get together and high school cafeteria(according to me!).
My family played Mille Bornes all the time. I have so many fun memories playing that game.
Show choir! And thanks for reminding us about that classic Middle ep. And as a mom of kids in their 20’s…my ❤ still hurts when any of them are sick now!😢
My parents always told us not to run in the house and, of course, we didn’t listen until I ran into the kitchen counter and stubbed my toe so hard I broke my foot. Best believe we didn’t run through the house after that. Glad Felicity was okay! 🥰
Euchre is a northern Midwest thing. I learned from someone from Michigan and I am from Missouri-we had never heard of it….but once we did play it, it was awesome!!!!
I live in Minnesota, never heard of it and you can’t get much more northern Midwest than here lol. Might be more regional to that area of the Midwest?
Sue Heck! My favorite show!!!
We’ve not hung out in the basement with the cutesy tree yet!!
Omg racko takes me back to my childhood. My grandma always had that and we played it often!
Ohhh one thing I miss about high school was our Christmas concerts! 🎼🎶 but that’s it lol
My grandparents are from Ohio/Michigan and I was raised playing Euchre!! My family still plays regularly but no one out here in the southwest knows what it is 😂
Sleeping Queens is a fun card game!
I love games. Some good suggestions are Roll For It, Qwirkle, Rummikub, I’m totally blanking on my massive game collection right now. Oh! One of my favorites is Formation. I love that game so much and it is very simple once you can memorize what the cards do.
Forgot about tiny tyler 😆. Yall are a hoot
I am cracking up with what Jessica said 😂😂 I am loving Vlogmas this year so much! Love you guys ❤❤
I love Racko too! My dad and I played every time I stayed with him and it’s one on my best childhood/teenhood memories🥰
Just bought play nine for my niece. My grandma taught me golf with cards. So much fun either way.
Love the vlogmas ❤❤❤
Jessica, your skin is so great. You're a true beauty ❤️
Euchre is huge in Canada as well!
Funny you mention the golf rules and I agree it seems like everyone has slightly different ways of playing 😂
Omg. I have that same Racko and I just taught my husband over this last weekend. Wow!
Great minds think alike!
Jess, have one more kid it’ll go away! 🤣 One of my boys bumps their head, falls, comes over to me bleeding I’m like you’re fine, grab an ice pack/bandaid lol.
Blokus and Sequence. Sequence is for 4 people, but so fun!!
I LITERALLY just watched that episode from The Middle! 😂 love that show!
dude YES i have been feeling this. we just moved near a high school and they all park on our street and i keep thinking...they are literal children.
When did that happen?!
I love Jessica’s Christmas crewie! ❤
When you both were taking about changing the rules to games each time you play, -“And that’s Dallas” 😂
Oof, I feel that about waking up early when you don’t have to, literally the worst.
I feel you Jessica about being in a funk. I know working out will always make things a million times better. Yesterday was definitely one of those days for me, but instead of working out I went to see Sunset Blvd (the music version, not the movie)
Also, it’s crazy how many games you can play with a deck of cards, because I’ve never heard of the games you mentioned. Also also, when you mentioned ‘The Game’ I lost the game.
An exhaustion of patience 😂😂😂😂
Play 9 is our families favorite! It's a real fun cardatching game themed around golf. Really easy to pick up and play, real quick!
On the high school thing … I had a son while in college. Didn’t get married to his stepdad until he was 10, now he has two little sisters the age of your girls. Anyway he graduated high school last year and while he was there I loved getting to go back to the high school stuff. And now I feel like I’m cheating because I’ll get to experience it all over again when my girls are grown. But you going to that show kinda gave me permission I don’t know I needed to book the ticket. Even though I don’t have a kid at the school my girls will adore these shows and the kids really are so talented. Yay! Anyone reading this Book the ticket at your local high school. It’ll be worth it and it all goes to a great cause!! Yay
This will also give my girls the vision of what’s available to them when they get there. Book ALL the tickets. Chorus, theatre, football, basketball, jazz band … cheap entertainment and opens a world of possibilities for the littles
Oh, also, I noticed when going to my son’s basketball games that some older couples would be volunteering at the ticket table every game. I asked them if they had a grandson and they said “no, we just enjoy watching the young people living this part of their lives - gets us out of the house and something to enjoy.” I hope I think to do something like that when my kids are all grown.

Today our son (almost 2) bumped his head and there was blood and it was horrifying. He’s totally fine and the bleeding stopped really fast which was a huge blessing but man the mom guilt is crushing. Totally understand how yall felt and glad Felicity is feeling better!
Oh my goodness! So glad he's alright!
my family loves Tapple and Blank Slate! tapple you can even play alone, but blank slate at least 3 people 😊
My first guess was banana-grams. Glad you guys have branched out! 😂
I could legit just watch you two talk like this an entire vlog 😂
Spots is a good game I recently played with friends on a games night and it’s not too long to play about 20ish minutes a round. It’s also cute 😊
My husband is from Indiana and his family is crazy about Euchre. I had never heard of it before I met him and personally find it confusing. His family takes it so seriously though and they play at all family gatherings. It's intimidating! 😂
Glad Felicity is okay!! Kid injuries are all scary no matter what: I’m glad it wasn’t worse. Our son hit his eye on our coffee table at 18 months old, and had to get 3 stitches. We no longer have a coffee table! It scared me daily someone would get hurt again.
Every time I go to Walmart, I have an exhaustion of patience. Ha! Ha!
My midwest family has a euchre tournament every family reunion. With trophies. We take it VERY seriously. Haha!
