My baby girl (who is now 33 with a little girl of her own) used to run up to me whenever I picked up a camera, press her face to the lens and say ‘hello mummy’ … it is now family folklore 😅
The intense force (and associated noises) Ottie does as she pressed down the stickers was so cute. Gotta make sure that sticker is suuuuper stuck on there!
Ottie running off with the camera was hilarious. She’ll be vlogging in no time 😂 Her vocabulary is excellent, not just repeating but answering and is “Hello, Daddy” her first sentence? How was cracking me up, scooting around on his feet was so funny. Tell him you can’t do breakdancing on carpet 😂😂😂
The fear of forgetting something is super valid, something my sister in law always reminds me of is, youre not going to the middle of no where, theres stores there, you can buy whatever you’re missing!
Bit late now but what I was once told was to write things down that you use as you use them through the day, and then that’s your list of things to pack for your little one. Totally helped me out! 😅
My favorite part of all these videos have been seeing Ottie. She is so cute! I love watching her shake her head no to not being able to say something and grabbing the camera saying dada. So adorable!
I’m a silent watcher. I’ve been watching you since I was 11 in grade 7 and now I’m 19 almost 20 in university. I just want to thank both you and Alfie for being such good role models for me. You guys never fail to put a smile on my face. I lost my dad suddenly 6 years ago around Christmas time in December when I was 13 and your videos helped me so much and still help me especially when I’m having a bad day. I grew up watching you and I truly believe you have had a positive influence on how I am today. You’ve also helped me to realize what anxiety is when I was younger and didn’t understand what was happening to me; you have given me hope over the years that I can overcome anxiety just like you. You’ve helped to encourage me to not be afraid to ask for help and have normalized therapy for mental health. You guys are such amazing people and always help to make me feel better. Thank you so much for doing what you do, you have no idea how much you two have helped me over the years ❤ Sending lots of love from Toronto Canada
silent watcher here! but i just have to say that i’m really going to miss vlogmas when it’s over, it’s been so great watching you and alfie blossom with ottie
I know it's probably very stressful when it's Vlogmas time, but I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we're so appreciative of all of your content this holiday season!!! I'm going to be so sad that Vlogmas is about to come to an end!!! 😔🥰
Anyone else not recognise Sean from the photos? Just me ok. Bless her ottie is so cute and she’s coming on so much! She’s adorable. Glad you got to Wiltshire safety and I love otties playtoom!
I like to take the leftovers of the sticker page, the white bit that’s still sticky but useless, this way it’s so much easier for the toddler to grab the stickers on their own ! So cute and perfect for their minutia ❤
Silent watcher here ✋🏼 I’ve been watching your videos since your first ‘what’s in my bag’ video all those years ago but have never commented! I’ll always love watching your videos (especially vlogmas) because they’re so cozy and nostalgic to me xx
Oh my word. Ottie in that little sleep onesie is absolutely melting my heart. It reminds me of that age and those suits are soft, bub smells good after a bath and are super snuggly 🥰
Tip for Alfie. I have lived on gaviscon for decades and recently had the worst reflux I've ever had. Was like a knife to the chest that lasted for hours. Gaviscon wouldn't work. Slippery elm was the only thing that fixed it. Instantly. even the capsules of the powder work if you can't stomach the loose powder. I've got in the habit of taking one after everything I eat/drink and don't get any discomfort at all anymore. Natural too. Hope that helps - it's changed my life xo happy Christmas
I’m similar with worrying about forgetting stuff. After my youngest was born, that got worse because he has severe food allergies. When we travel, we have to pack so much. It is stressful, but it feels good when it goes to plan
I’ve lost so many screws on my G7x. But you can get a set for glasses that has a small enough screw driver and screws to fix it. Plus there’s a glue for screws to hold them in. it’s a game changer
I started working on my "silent subscriber" behavior this yeah haha To be honest I had a really tough year so I just wanted to appreciate everything and everyone that makes me a lil bit happier. So thank you Zoe, Alfie and Ottilie and to all your family for the vlogmas you make it absolutly festive , full of joy, calm and its feels just like home! I absolutly enjoy every second of every vlog! Thank you thank you thank you!
Im a silent watcher for years. Im still young, im 22 y, but i started watch your videos since 2014 when the channel was called zoella. Im a brazilian and i love your videos, your family, and your energy, youre a real kind heart. Furthermore, watching you helps me a lot to improve my english, becausa im naturaly a portuguese speaker.
As a mother of 3 children(first 2 are girls) and I never feel the need to comment on UA-cam videos,I just wanted to point out how incredibly smart your little one is for her age! She's very advanced,my eldest was like this(was actually quite strange tbh I was like stay acting like a baby lol) I found she needed a lot more mental stimulation with books and puzzles kept her from getting bored and agitated
Your videos are helping me through a dark time it's giving me something to look forward to and bringing me out of the darkness and into the land of hope of happiness 💖
Omg Zoe I have loooooved this vlog, seeing what you do from the moment you wake up and what you do with Ottie, even though it’s the most simple shots of you guys cuddling etc it’s so wholesome to see. ❤❤❤
I used to work in childcare and that photo book would be great for any little ones struggling to settle into nursery. We'd often encourage families to bring in photos to help young children feel more settled and loved in an unfamiliar environment!
I bought the soft photo album for my cousins little girl who’s deaf so she can learn to sign her family after seeing Ottie get it for her birthday! It’s such an amazing idea and she loved it ❤x
Get an eye glass repair kit! I bought one for like $20 on amazon and it's a lifesaver for the g7x. Even just a cheap 5 piece one from a gas station can be a lifesaver when vlogging I swear having one has prolonged the life of this camera by like a year and a half.
I found replacement screws and tiny tool for my G7X Mk2 screen online. Think they were for watch repairs but reviews showed worked for camera screen. Job done. I added some glue to stop the screw coming out again.
I am definitely a silent watcher, but I’ve been here since the beginning, and you’re one of my favorite creators, and I love following your journey. I had my baby just 1 month before Ottie, so it’s like I have a friend who’s going through the same as me and it’s been really fun and helpful to see your journey into motherhood. I’ve been here for every vlogmas and I look forward to it every year so thanks for continuing the tradition! (I know this comment belongs to day 18 but I’m a little behind on the vlogs…”mom life+Christmas “ lol )All my love to you and your beautiful family 🥰🎄
My baby cousin OBLITERATED some of our family photo albums, he loved flipping thorugh the pages looking for dada and mama! He liked it more than picture books. It actually came in handy during the pandemic, when he was 1 - 2, because he knew other family members this way and he made them so happy recognizing them on videochat!
20:01 you can buy a glasses/watch screwdriver set on Amazon at a reasonable price and they have all the attachments for tiny screws 💁♀️. Loving vlogmas!!! So lovely to see your family life 🥰
I commented this on a few vlogs ago, but this part of vlogmas where you’re back in Wiltshire and opening the presents! I always look forward to this part. Hope you’re all well 💖 can’t wait for tomorrow
Ottie is so so smart and she's just the most adorable baby ever! Watching your Christmas vlogs gives me happy vibes every year Zoe. Love you, Alfie and Ottie! Have the best holidays xx
Long term viewer, first time leaving a comment 😊. Just wanted to say thank you for the daily festive content, it's been a real comfort and a highlight of each day once I've finally managed to put my 7 month old down to sleep each night, to just get cosy with a brew and watch your videos 😂 it's also been lovely to see what I have to look forward too once my baby hits the toddler age. I already can't wait for next Christmas when she will know what's going on. X
Silent watcher here! It’s been so enjoyable watching you and your family grow over the years, just about the same timing as I have with mine 😊 watching your pregnancy and new mom videos validated a lot of what I was feeling throughout mine, the year prior. Especially navigating it all through covid-times. Thank you for continuing to share your life experiences with all of us, even all the way over in Florida ❤
never commented before! but been watching your videos since the og days ❤ recently introduced you to my mum and we both love watching your videos together (recently binged all the vlogmasses and it’s so nice to see you grow as an individual and as a family) X
Ahh I’ve never been this early… 7 minutes!! Seriously this has been my favorite Vlogmas. Seeing you guys be parents after watching you both for 10 years makes me tear up.
joe chasing ottie was so much serotonin
This baby has the most happiest childhood in this world...omg
I knowww. It’s so precious
My baby girl (who is now 33 with a little girl of her own) used to run up to me whenever I picked up a camera, press her face to the lens and say ‘hello mummy’ … it is now family folklore 😅
Ottie as soon as she wakes up: where’s my dad????
it’s so cute 😭
The intense force (and associated noises) Ottie does as she pressed down the stickers was so cute. Gotta make sure that sticker is suuuuper stuck on there!
I love Ottie running up to the Camera, Picking it up and then saying Uh Oh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😆😆😆😆😆
Ottie is PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!! her little "ohhhh yahh" when putting the stickers on the book omgggggg
When she asked ottie if she can say this Word and Ottie shook her head 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ottie-cam is amazing! I'm a Speech Pathologist and listening to kids find their voices and discover that their words have power is SO amazing!
Ottie running off with the camera was hilarious. She’ll be vlogging in no time 😂 Her vocabulary is excellent, not just repeating but answering and is “Hello, Daddy” her first sentence? How was cracking me up, scooting around on his feet was so funny. Tell him you can’t do breakdancing on carpet 😂😂😂
Ottie is so adorable saying “Dadda” all the time. I can tell she loves her mommy VERY much too!
zoe using a chamberlain coffee cup is the highlight of my day. talk about 2 worlds colliding
Ottie is so smart 😮 she’s a little genius. I feel it’s how much interaction and quality time she is receiving.
The struggling sound Ottie makes when she pushes down the stickers!!! I’m dead she is so cute!!!
vlogmas has flown by! little ottie all bundled up living her best life at 1:30 😂
The fear of forgetting something is super valid, something my sister in law always reminds me of is, youre not going to the middle of no where, theres stores there, you can buy whatever you’re missing!
Omg my husband ALWAYS tells me that 🙈 😂
Bit late now but what I was once told was to write things down that you use as you use them through the day, and then that’s your list of things to pack for your little one. Totally helped me out! 😅
I still can’t believe vlogmas is almost over! I loved the daily uploads ❤ they’ve been such a great addition to my daily routine
I feel ya! 😂
My ribs hurt from laughing at them opening the advent calendar. “Can mummy see?”
Ottie: *shoves chocolate in her mouth*
Ottie in the morning switching from bed to the couch and having the cosiest time is too cute to watch
My favorite part of all these videos have been seeing Ottie. She is so cute! I love watching her shake her head no to not being able to say something and grabbing the camera saying dada. So adorable!
You should look into screwdrivers that are meant for eyeglasses. They typically come in little glasses repair kits and are great for tiny screws.
It's a real pleasure to watch you being a mom, Zoe. 😊
As an American it cracks me up that a 2 hr drive is considered a road trip haha. You prepare so much for it
I’m a silent watcher. I’ve been watching you since I was 11 in grade 7 and now I’m 19 almost 20 in university. I just want to thank both you and Alfie for being such good role models for me.

silent watcher here! but i just have to say that i’m really going to miss vlogmas when it’s over, it’s been so great watching you and alfie blossom with ottie
It’s crazy how smart Ottie is and i feel like you can sometimes hear the strong British accent coming through…. so cute!!
Omg Joe in the end of the vlog 😂
And him running after Ottie 🥹🥹🥹
Ottie seems like she is always in such a good mood, I have never seen her even slightly annoyed or sad ♥️
maybe because they don't film 24/7 or when she isn't happy!
Ottie playing with her uncle Joe just warms my heart ❤️
I know it's probably very stressful when it's Vlogmas time, but I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we're so appreciative of all of your content this holiday season!!! I'm going to be so sad that Vlogmas is about to come to an end!!! 😔🥰
Anyone else not recognise Sean from the photos? Just me ok. Bless her ottie is so cute and she’s coming on so much! She’s adorable. Glad you got to Wiltshire safety and I love otties playtoom!
I didn’t either until she said his name and then I was like ..ohhhhhh!
Why do I feel that Ottie has the best uncles and aunties in the world? Like... Joe? Mark? Sean? Poppy? She's luckyyyyy
I like to take the leftovers of the sticker page, the white bit that’s still sticky but useless, this way it’s so much easier for the toddler to grab the stickers on their own ! So cute and perfect for their minutia ❤
Big thanks to Alfie for editing these Vlogs - Christmas wouldn’t have been the same without you all 🎄
I always forget how small the UK is, a two hour drive is considered a road trip lol
Ottie doing a whole day of vlogmas✨️
Who's with me?
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas 🎉. I have been a silent watcher since before 2012! Love you guys. Thank you for all your content x
Zoe, my almost 2 year old thinks Ottie is absolutely hilarious! Love the special mom time with you two ❤
Honestly, your vlogmas is the biggest highlight of these past days, you guys make the dream team, merry Christmas to all🎄
I just LOVE IT when Ottie steals the camera 🤣
I’m honestly amazed on how smart and curious little Otti is, makes me so happy to see how fast she’s growing 🥰🫶🏻
We definitely need a vlog of just Ottie running around with the camera 😂 it’s was absolutely adorable.
Silent watcher here ✋🏼 I’ve been watching your videos since your first ‘what’s in my bag’ video all those years ago but have never commented! I’ll always love watching your videos (especially vlogmas) because they’re so cozy and nostalgic to me xx
Ottie being able to use stickers is amazing for her fine motor skills. She's one clever cookie!
Oh my word. Ottie in that little sleep onesie is absolutely melting my heart. It reminds me of that age and those suits are soft, bub smells good after a bath and are super snuggly 🥰
Oh my gosh the noise Ottie was making when pressing down the stickers was SO PRECIOUS 🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰
Tip for Alfie. I have lived on gaviscon for decades and recently had the worst reflux I've ever had. Was like a knife to the chest that lasted for hours. Gaviscon wouldn't work. Slippery elm was the only thing that fixed it. Instantly. even the capsules of the powder work if you can't stomach the loose powder. I've got in the habit of taking one after everything I eat/drink and don't get any discomfort at all anymore. Natural too. Hope that helps - it's changed my life xo happy Christmas
I love how she says “ah du” with the stickers 😂 also always love seein joe, absolute nutter
I’m similar with worrying about forgetting stuff. After my youngest was born, that got worse because he has severe food allergies. When we travel, we have to pack so much. It is stressful, but it feels good when it goes to plan
Ottie talking reminds me so much of my little sister and nephew having conversations at 1 and 2. Her speech is amazing
I’ve lost so many screws on my G7x. But you can get a set for glasses that has a small enough screw driver and screws to fix it. Plus there’s a glue for screws to hold them in. it’s a game changer
it's not hard to believe Joe was a finalist from strictly come dancing , he's so skilled ... omg ...😂😁😁
Aww it’s the cutest how she already can say that she can’t say something. That’s clever. One self aware little one
I started working on my "silent subscriber" behavior this yeah haha
To be honest I had a really tough year so I just wanted to appreciate everything and everyone that makes me a lil bit happier.
So thank you Zoe, Alfie and Ottilie and to all your family for the vlogmas you make it absolutly festive , full of joy, calm and its feels just like home! I absolutly enjoy every second of every vlog! Thank you thank you thank you!

The amount of times ottie picks up and walks around with the camera is getting us ready for her own UA-cam channel 😂
As a mother of 3 children(first 2 are girls) and I never feel the need to comment on UA-cam videos,I just wanted to point out how incredibly smart your little one is for her age! She's very advanced,my eldest was like this(was actually quite strange tbh I was like stay acting like a baby lol) I found she needed a lot more mental stimulation with books and puzzles kept her from getting bored and agitated
When Zoe asked Ottie if she could say Poppy and she said no it was so cuuute
Your videos are helping me through a dark time it's giving me something to look forward to and bringing me out of the darkness and into the land of hope of happiness 💖
joe’s such a great uncle! him chasing and playing with ottie is so cute hahaa
I swear watching you and Ottie heals my inner child❤😂 it is so nice seeing such a lovely, cozy childhood.
Omg Zoe I have loooooved this vlog, seeing what you do from the moment you wake up and what you do with Ottie, even though it’s the most simple shots of you guys cuddling etc it’s so wholesome to see.
❤❤❤
I used to work in childcare and that photo book would be great for any little ones struggling to settle into nursery. We'd often encourage families to bring in photos to help young children feel more settled and loved in an unfamiliar environment!
Ottis is talking so well now! It’s just crazy how fast she’s growing.
I bought the soft photo album for my cousins little girl who’s deaf so she can learn to sign her family after seeing Ottie get it for her birthday! It’s such an amazing idea and she loved it ❤x
You can buy a little screwdriver key chain off of Amazon for screws that are tiny like the ones on glasses.
20:33 Joe’s duck walk had me wheezing😂😂
I’ve loved this vlogmas so much I’m going to miss it 😩 I’ve watched your Vids for 10 years and loved every single one thank you 💕
So good to see joe! How adorable was Ottie playing with joe?
Get an eye glass repair kit! I bought one for like $20 on amazon and it's a lifesaver for the g7x. Even just a cheap 5 piece one from a gas station can be a lifesaver when vlogging I swear having one has prolonged the life of this camera by like a year and a half.
I found replacement screws and tiny tool for my G7X Mk2 screen online. Think they were for watch repairs but reviews showed worked for camera screen. Job done. I added some glue to stop the screw coming out again.
I love the beginning of the vlog with ottie on the sofa it’s so cute ❤
I am definitely a silent watcher, but I’ve been here since the beginning, and you’re one of my favorite creators, and I love following your journey. I had my baby just 1 month before Ottie, so it’s like I have a friend who’s going through the same as me and it’s been really fun and helpful to see your journey into motherhood.

Please can we have more of Joe and Ottie? Just SO cute!
You're a very good mum, I love the way you parent. I wish I was more like you when my children were small. Merry Christmas to you all 😊
I think my heart just exploded because you and Otti watching the Grinch is so freaking adorable
Loved this vlog! I am watching your videos since 2014. This vlogmas really gives me flashbacks and still makes me so happy! Carry on the good work!
Ottie pushing down the stickers was my favorite bit. So adorable!
I’m a silent watcher❤️ loving this years vlogmas😘
A kit for fixing glasses usually has a tiny screwdriver for fixing things like that
My baby cousin OBLITERATED some of our family photo albums, he loved flipping thorugh the pages looking for dada and mama! He liked it more than picture books. It actually came in handy during the pandemic, when he was 1 - 2, because he knew other family members this way and he made them so happy recognizing them on videochat!
Your morning with sortie is so precious 🥺 I’m just living vicariously through you coz I’ve no maternal bone in my body
20:01 you can buy a glasses/watch screwdriver set on Amazon at a reasonable price and they have all the attachments for tiny screws 💁♀️. Loving vlogmas!!! So lovely to see your family life 🥰
sobs at how far zoe has come I’m gonna cry
Not sure how small the screw is, but you can buy a screwdriver made for the tiny screws in glasses. Maybe that will fit the screw in your camera.
I commented this on a few vlogs ago, but this part of vlogmas where you’re back in Wiltshire and opening the presents! I always look forward to this part. Hope you’re all well 💖 can’t wait for tomorrow
Ottie is so so smart and she's just the most adorable baby ever! Watching your Christmas vlogs gives me happy vibes every year Zoe. Love you, Alfie and Ottie! Have the best holidays xx
Glasses repair kit has tiny screwdriver. May be the right size. Good to have on hand.
My favourite time of day is getting home from work having my dinner. Then getting into bed and watching your vlogmass it makes my day. ❤
Long term viewer, first time leaving a comment 😊. Just wanted to say thank you for the daily festive content, it's been a real comfort and a highlight of each day once I've finally managed to put my 7 month old down to sleep each night, to just get cosy with a brew and watch your videos 😂 it's also been lovely to see what I have to look forward too once my baby hits the toddler age. I already can't wait for next Christmas when she will know what's going on. X
The amount of times she says dada in these videos 🤣 melts my whole heart
I’m such a silent watcher on UA-cam but I watch all your Vlogmas videos! I love them, makes me feel so christmasy ❤
Happy holiday to your family😌 and I wanted to ask what advice do you think contributed to your success in your career?
the ‘ooouh’ noise pushing the stickers down is so cute 😅😅😅
