My neighbor had all her Christmas decor stolen by a renter, so I gave her my tree, trimmings and a door wreath. At 74, I was up to putting up a big tree anymore but I have several small ones to decorate with. So when I visit her and her family, I get to see my gifted tree and decorations.🎄👏👏👏
Oh Belinda, you are so lovely and thoughtful. I wish I didn’t live miles away from you as I’d love to go out for a coffee with you. It’s a difficult time of year when you’ve lost somebody. I’m blessed with two kind and thoughtful sons and it was lovely to see your son safely home x
So sorry about your Dad. I lost my mother in December when I was 21 and still miss her everyday. I know she would want me to enjoy Christmas just like she did. ❤x
Christmas is difficult when you have lost a parent the memories of the past flood back . I have my mum’s handwritten recipes for my Christmas cake & pudding my mum was an amazing lady full of love joy & care . Thinking of you tonight Belinda ❤️
It must be nice to have your son home. I lost my brother on Christmas Eve, years ago, as you say it stays with you and I am lucky like you I have a lot of family and we all help each other through this time. I love the colours of your yarn today, very pretty. 🥰
Oh Belinda 😢I’ve just finished a little weep. I lost my dear dear mum on the 23rd December at the age of 58, 29 years ago. I miss her so much and I agree this time of the year is difficult. I agree no one wants to watch a Debbie downer but realistically it’s not always party party party. As always your advents are so pretty, and those naughty little elf’s 😂😂😂 Sending love. ❤️ xx 💋
Thank you for sharing your loss Belinda you underestimate how much it helps. My dear Dad is sadly loosing his battle with cancer and he has had a very difficult time this last week. I shed some tears for you and me then bilbo enjoying his special treat put a smile back on my face thank you. Love you channel and all you do. I hope you have a special Christmas 🎄
@@juliehannaford634 I’m so sad for you Julie, no words from me will make anything better but just know that I’m sending you a huge virtual hug and I’m glad I could give you a smile. 🤗😘 xx
You underestimate how good you are at putting things into words! Just found your channel this week & it really is a joy ❤ Love your Vlogmas & will definitely continue watching after that too. Love sweet Bilbo too 😍
Belinda, thank you It would have been my Dad's birthday yesterday December 17th, when I woke up I wished him "'Happy Birthday"' in heaven. He passed away in 2007, I miss him and my mother every day. I love what the naughty Elves got up to with the Dinosaur and toilet roll today I am also glad that they had Christmas present for you, they can be good sometimes. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Thank you Belinda for being such a loving kind soul, I’m sorry for your lost of your dad 😞 I’m so glad you have your family around you, sending you a big hug 🥰
Hi Belinda. Those were lovely words and I think a lot of people will share your sentiments. It's lovely to see the fun parts of your family life but we all have things going on. My dad died Christmas day, can't believe it was 30 years ago this year. Always try and make Christmas a happy time, but it's very poignant too. I've got lovely memories of him and family life. Bilbo is a lovely companion, such a sweetie. Obviously loves you to bits, though he knows you supply treats too 😂 Each day when we see your tree I always wonder if there is anything inside the little basket decoration 🌲🎅 Thank you again for putting these vlogs together xx
Oh Belinda, my Mum just passed in July and this year has been a difficult one for the holidays. It is wonderful you try to keep cheerful and you do bring me so much joy watching your vlogs. (The eyebrows were the best!😂) Much love and joy! Blessings❤
My thoughts will be with you and your family and I send you lots of love and hugs . Christmas is quite different for me now too as my dad used to love this time of year . We've had about 9 Christmases without him now and it still feels odd but I do my best to be happy and enjoy it with my family and partner . I loved what you did with the naughty elves haha . Xx
Thank you so much for your vlog today. Don't get me wrong - I'm not unhappy or lonely but I lost my husband last year and Christmas is very different now. But I really enjoy watching your vlogs - you always seem so cosy. I've just started teaching myself to knit so I'm enjoying your advent calendars. Thank you ❤
@@AvrilBrown-ld6gm I’m so sorry to hear this Avril, I can’t imagine the sadness that will bring but I hope you get the love and support from family and friends. Good luck with the knitting, it’s a wonderful distraction and therapy 😘 xx
🥰🎄 Belinda, I love how thoughtful you are of how others might be struggling. It's easy to forget that there are so many people who are hurting - thanks for the sweet reminder. ❤ I'm so sorry that December is hard for you - but I'm glad you have a beautiful family (and Bilbo) to brighten it up. And Alistair is back from sunny, dusty Arizona!!!! It is SO DUSTY. That's funny - we just live with it but gosh it's ridiculous. I do hope he had a great time in the sunshine, though!! Lots of love to you!!!! 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
What size is the pot that you use to bag your sourdough in? Thank you for sharing in this video today. December can be a difficult month for us that have lost a love one through death or divorce or estrangement. You put your thoughts into words perfectly. Another wonderful Vlogmas from you!

I was right when I subscribed: You ARE a kind, sweet person!
So happy for you that your son is back from the U.S.A.!
