It’s really sweet that she is so overjoyed by each of her gifts and how she takes so much care with them makes us see her a such an amazing person - which she probably is!
My New Years resolution is going to be more like ruby, being completely myself, totally grounded, extremely grateful,polite,kind (and drink lots of tea!)
@@Amanda7. “be more like ruby” also represent to become a better version of herself. Trying to appreciate more things around us, become more grateful towards the nature and everything that she/ we are given for. How is that not even completely herself ? Role model of someone is usually the better version of someone that they always wanted to be. And her New Years resolution is to be more like ruby doesn’t just mean to become a better her ? Don’t criticise someone if you don’t think deep . It’s always better to spread kindness and love like Ruby rather than judging others ;)
Exactly!! I feel like social media make us more materialistic and we can’t enjoy life because we don’t have some things that we can’t afford.. but ruby is definitely an example to follow! she grow up so much since i started to follow her at her debuts on youtube😍
Ruby I had no idea you were into astrophysics! I have the exact same nasa jumper and I love it 😍 please make sure you share your night sky photos! ✨ hope you had a restful Christmas xx
I'm obviously not a pro but I love learning about it for fun (I'm sure I couldn't uphold even the beginnings of a conversation about it with you on the topic!!!). I must say that I have seen and been very jealous of your nasa jumper in past videos 🙈 and thank you so much! I hope you did too xx
@@RubyGranger8 It was really nice to see you Ruby!! Christmas is such a festival where everyone wants to be with his/her family. You're concern and love for everyone is unconditional. I hope you see all your family members soon and have a blast. Lots of love and be safe. Merry Christmas xx
@@RubyGranger8 Hi Ruby ! Could you please share the references of the lens which allows to take photographs of the stars ? It would be super nice as I'm also very interested in astrophysics and astronomy :D (and photography of course)
It’s so nice to see you showing different things than other what I got for Christmas videos. I am not saying that typically “basic” gifts are boring or anything, but what I am saying is that it is really nice to see presents that are unique as it is much more interesting to watch!
Never usually comment on videos, however, this is the loveliest ‘what I got for Christmas’ I have seen. Her gratitude and kindness is inspiring. Ruby deserves every single one of those thoughtful gifts
I just find it so lovely how Ruby is so close to her family. Thank you so much for being so inspiring even in these circumstances! Hope everyone has an amazing 2021
I know the UK has it worst than everybody else right now, my heart and prayers goes to all of you, your country is beautiful and your people is strong, this are just the darkness announcing the long awaited sunrise, hang in there UK, we love you.
Ruby is a national treasure. she is so humble and kind. and i love her voice. its so british and welcoming. lol. great video Ruby. you should get more attention.
imagine your dad choosing you christmas presents😍! it’s as much as a surprise for my dad when i open my gifts as it is for me! hope u had a lovely christmas ruby!! 🤍
that's so funny haha! Makes it an all around surprise, I suppose! It does end up being that way with the gifts the other parent got for us (i.e. my dad doesn't really know what my mum got us unless it's a particular good find!) xx
This is hilarious! My mum and my dad go shopping together and so they both know what we got. It was so funny, last year my grandma didn’t know what she got us and so afterwards I heard her ask my mom, “what did I get the children?” It was just so funny! Merry Christmas!🎁
Really appreciated the message at the beginning, Ruby. As someone who didn’t get to spend Christmas with their family this year, I felt very sad that people kept saying ‘you’ll see them soon, it’s no big deal.’ All day, something felt missing. Lovely words, thank you 💕
My aunts boyfriend is from England. He sadly passed away in October, but we still do poppers (not sure if that is what they are called). We wore the paper hats and all. It was a fun thing to do to remember him.
Your parents give you such thoughtful, personalised presents which is lovely! You can just see your face light up in excitement when talking about them :) hope you had the best Christmas!!
I didn't get any Christmas present this year, but I've never had so much fun as I had these Christmas days, I'm SO GLAD I could spend the Christmas day doing things that I love, and with people I love, with my family, and everyone was safe em healthy. I felt so lucky, even with this pandemic time's. I felt the Christmas spirit more than the other years.
I totally agree that despite the difficulties this year, it is truly amazing to just appreciate the family, loved ones and the ability to be simply with them. Travelling is difficult and restricted, and so many families (including myself) were separated. However, no matter what, let's be grateful for all - no matter where we are and who we are with. Merry Christmas all!
I'm lucky, Christmas for me was the same as always. We never have big dinners or gatherings, so it's like I've been living in pandemic my whole life. :P I'm just thankful my whole family is healthy.
I always wanted one of these videos of Ruby. She has just so positive energy! She just inspires me so much! Like two years ago, i still didn't know Ruby. I was always so unproductive, i was spending time on tehnology, it was verry bad! But then i found Ruby. Well now this is another story. I really don't know wat will i be right now, if i didn't found Ruby. I was so happy when i got the yearly planner from Ruby! Merry Christmas evrybody!
It's so crazy to me how there's some people out there who genuinely enjoy spending time with their families. Like my immediate response was "she's totally faking it" even though I *know* she's not, she really does love her family and spending time with them. It's a beautiful thing to see. I hope I'll experience that in some other life. :)
Just by the description I know I'm going to love it! :-) This Christmas I had two wonderful books and a vintagey dress I've fallen heads over heels for. Merry Christmas everyone, and happy holidays!
I adore how maturely Ruby handles her haul videos, especially this year with how unprecedented this years Christmas is for many people. You're amazing, Ruby.
Thank you so much for staying positive during this time. This year (especially through semester) have been very hard for me and I’ve been more negative towards myself so seeing someone else be positive is inspiring me to do the same, and it is just so refreshing
I really was waiting forward to this, sadly many of us didn't get many presents this year, but we should be grateful for us and our loved ones being safe and healthy. Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️
Ruby - I went to Great Ormand Street Hospital all throughout my life up until I was 18 when I had to move to an adult hospital in London... (Although, I was kept until I was 21...) GOSH Was practically my second home. Seeing you donating to this Hospital is the most amazing thing, so, thank-you, because, they are a fantastic Hospital who saved my life. 🖤 Merry Christmas~!
I honestly would love to do a zoom chat or something where people just show what they recieved for their holiday. I love talking about gifts and seeing what other folks got too. Its so fun and shows the little things that bring people such delight.
The fact that your family bought you so personalised gifts without having to ask you makes me so jealous. You're so lucky😭😍 The older I get the less magical Christmas becomes I guess:(
You are the sweetest person in the world! I really like watching gifts and I truly appreciate you talking also about the non-material gifts of these holidays. You are a beautiful soul
I’ve watched a few of these “what I got for Christmas” videos, yours is the only one where you’ve actually said you’re grateful for get to of spent it with your immediate family. You’re lovely.
I love that there are people out there that love Christmas this much. Christmas is so hard for me and it’s also not generally as cosy in Australia but it’s so nice to hear you talk about it.
I was genuinely waiting for this video! We don't celebrate Christmas in my place but I always love seeing people celebrate this and to know what they receive and how they have fun during this festival. Thank you for posting this Ruby! ☺💜 P. S - The dress is really really pretty!
You are so lucky that your parents know you so well. I have more or less a good relationship with mine, but I feel a big disconnection with them: they dont know my current tastes or interests(neither do they have intention of knowing it) and when they have to think of a present for me, they have no idea what to give me. It may seem silly but it kinda hurts me. You seem to have a very close and nice relationshio with them, so please cherish that :)
I totally get you, I'm in a similar situation. It hurts and sometimes feels like they don't know me as a person at all. This christmas I got a chocolate bar with hazelnuts in it from my dad. I've been allergic to nuts my whole life.
I can relate to you so much. I dont get suprised with gifts anymore because my parents dont know me well enough. Every Christmas I usually just order things that I like and this year I even wrapped my own gifts. I do feel very grateful for even getting things and being able to order stuff online but I miss the feeling of suprise on Christmas morning when you open your presents.
Same. My mom gives me gifts (my dad doesn’t) on holidays but i have to ‘get them myself’. It indeed makes you feel like they don’t know you / don’t want to put effort in it. It’s a bit hurtful. I don’t want to sound stupid bc i got a gift but it’s indeed the feeling like they don’t know you or even want to lolll
my family doesn't really care about the commercial/exterior aspects of christmas but we share lots of love and spirituality and that's the most important thing and it makes me appreciate this period even more
Ruby, my family doesn't usually get into the Christmas spirit as much as I would like, so I always look forward to this video from you to see someone else who is so spirited about the season! Glad you uploaded 💕💕
All you gifts are soo pretty! Oh my goodness!! I got this stunning dainty bracelet that’s a golden snitch! I’m in love with it. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and that you got to soak up as much Christmas magic as possible!!
It's great that you & your mum each got each other the same gift - one xmas my sister & I got each other the same sweater. Stork scissors are from the scissors that were used to cut the umbilical cords of newborns.
Hi Ruby your vlog really touched me you are such s beautiful kind hearted soul I came off shift christmas day took my dog to my local beach lit a fire had a little cry as i couldnt be with any of my family but had the most amazing couple of hours warming souo on my new camping stove and dodging exploding shells in the fire, lots of lovely souls passing by,your parents must be so proud of you and Martha x
You are the last person to ever show off or to ever go out of your way to offend or upset people. The first two minutes of this video are truly needed, I couldn’t agree more that this is a time for love, warmth, and family. This video is more than you showing us the gifts you got, you are bringing light, warmth, calm and happiness into many peoples lives! Thank you, Ruby, for being such a wholesome corner of the internet where we can all come and feel safe and happy.
Hey Ruby!! The embroidery scissors are actually from the show “Over the Garden Wall”!! It’s so autumnal and lovely (and short!). I think you’d really love it.
@@MssAmyAlmighty Exactly, the scissors are not originally from the show but rather the show featured these classic embroidery scissors. That being said, “Over the Garden Wall” is an amazing animation and everyone should watch it 😊👌
Ruby I have to say that I was surprised you mentioned Hannukah! I'm jewish and I celebrate Hannukah and I just wanted to say that it's so thoughtful and amazing you have mentioned it, thank you! :) and also, it's so amazing how you love being with ur family so much, and how you find the beauty and the magic in everything (and in Christmas)! Wish you a wonderful and successful year!! XOXO :)
i love how the clothes she got are from depop!! i’m not saying we should blame others for buying from fast fashion shops because i know that might be the only option for lots of people, but buying second hand is for sure the way to go! cheaper and better for the environment! i loved this video ruby, you always talk so passionately about things you love and i find that so comforting :)
The fact that Ruby is so gracious makes a video like this so lovely. Most of the time, with others, it comes across like bragging; but Ruby is endearingly thankful, which is so refreshing nowadays.
I love Christmas Eve so much. Its my favourite holiday. I'm 27 and I STILL cannot sleep on Christmas Eve so I stay up and watch Christmas movies and read A Christmas Carol! I cant wait to see you Christmas video this Year!
To hear you discuss the anticipation made me so joyful... And I can truly say as a fellow 20yr old part of me still longs to hear the bells 🔔 im glad u had a wonderful 🎄
I love how joyful she is about all the gifts she gets. They were so cute and vintage. Unlike the people who ask for more modern things she was happy with a adorable Christmas mouse and a deck of cards. Keep up with the wholesome content 😄
This video was really touching and new to witness, as most people just show their gifts but it was refreshing to view how you spent your Christmas with your family, the feelings you felt and your sweet, heartfelt message at the beginning. I hope you had a great safe Christmas and I wish you and your family a great new year :)
I hope you had a great Christmas too Ruby despite the circumstances and yes it’s been really difficult not seeing extended family. I haven’t seen some of my family in over a year and I miss them so much and I just really look forward to when I can eventually see them in person. Wow, I loveeee how well your family know you, the gifts you received are so suitable for you and Martha is an incredibly generous sister. XX
Your family is so good at presents, you can tell how observant they are and how well you all know each other by the presents! I would love to see a video like this from Martha too!
Your channel is pure and beautiful. You're gonna go places Ruby, you've got the makings of something wonderful in you. I'm so happy your Christmas was merry! I got a succulent by the way, shes quite small and her name is lolly. :)
I wanted to say thank you for helping make 2020 survivable- I know some people have had a really rough year, and I want to send good vibes to those who need them. I'm writing this in the last five minutes of 2020, and I did want to say that this (studytube) community, and your videos definitely have made a huge difference, and I hope other viewers feel the same! Thank you very much, and have an awesome 2021! :)
Timothee Chalamet is such a great actor and really just wonderful ! - call me by your name is one of my favourites too! love the film as well with the stunning scenery 🙌🏼😍
Ruby I want to thank you for posting this video (I absolutely loved every bit of it)... Each year, your "WIGFC" videos have become apart of my Christmas tradition. Each are a pure delight because of the thoughtfulness and sentimental nature of each gift. May you and your family continue to be blessed and safe!
Thank you so much for all your kind wishes❤🌟 I loved how every member of your family really gave you a special gift for you, how they really know you🌟i think that it's so cute
Such beautiful gifts! I think it's wonderful how aware you are already at this age.. It will save you time trying to "get" those things in the future. Your'e really lovely Ruby!
What a sweet vid. Tbh I think that a part of Christmas is in a way presents. Because they can symbolise the love you have for others. Gifts don’t need to be expensive! Or big! I love to hand make my gifts or spend time choosing things I know people will love to receive.
I bought and made so many gifts this year for others, especially family and friends, while I surprisingly received a lot less than usual. But that's okay, this year is strange and I love seing the surprised faces of those who I love :) Whoever's reading this. I hope you had a few relaxing days without worries ❤️
Right when I was watching your Christmas haul for 2019 Timing wow Also, it's so nice of you to be so thoughtful of other people's conditions, and their situations. Thank you for being such a caring soul 💖
Your family really knows you well! That yellow dress looks gorgeous, the picnic basket looks amazing! And those Etsy candles!? It really does look like a dreamy Christmas 🥰 Merry Christmas from Denmark 🇩🇰 (Thank you for the Christmas card BTW Xx)
im glad you posted this video! hope you have had a good christmas. thankyou for being aware and spending a few minutes talking about the odd christmas this year
Hello! I discovered your content recently, and it's a delight! You seem to be a very humble person and it's a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you for this wonderful channel. I wish you all the best end of the year possible.
It’s so funny seeing you show the vineyard vines top! My family used to go to Martha’s Vineyard every summer when I was little so seeing you with a shirt from them made me smile! 🥺
“Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables I know you love this book and that is the reason why i read the first book. Thanks for everything you teach me everytime i watch your videos. You are such a kind soul and i just admire your positive vibe. Lots of love
It’s really sweet that she is so overjoyed by each of her gifts and how she takes so much care with them makes us see her a such an amazing person - which she probably is!
She’s such a sweetie, she doesn’t even need to use disclaimers because she is just so sweet in her nature.

Seeing how happy you were over the picnic basket gave me so much joy.
Christmas eve has always been my favourite “holiday” of the year! Ive never heard someone explain why so perfectly before :)
Ruby I have to say that I was surprised you mentioned Hannukah! I'm jewish and I celebrate Hannukah and I just wanted to say that it's so thoughtful and amazing you have mentioned it, thank you! :) and also, it's so amazing how you love being with ur family so much, and how you find the beauty and the magic in everything (and in Christmas)! Wish you a wonderful and successful year!! XOXO :)
I LOVEEEE that yellow dress with the white collar ! How stunning!!
I love that you love Anne of Green Gables. I am from Prince Edward Island and look at the Mongomery family homestead from my front window.
You're kidding! Wow! That's amazing! I really want to visit :) x
i love how the clothes she got are from depop!! i’m not saying we should blame others for buying from fast fashion shops because i know that might be the only option for lots of people, but buying second hand is for sure the way to go! cheaper and better for the environment! i loved this video ruby, you always talk so passionately about things you love and i find that so comforting :)
The fact that Ruby is so gracious makes a video like this so lovely. Most of the time, with others, it comes across like bragging; but Ruby is endearingly thankful, which is so refreshing nowadays.
you’re such a sweet person !! i love watching ur videos they’re so motivating yet relaxing
Omg you’re everywhere! Hope you have great holidays :)
I love how much thought went into each gift. I would love to see what you got for your family members!
Really good outlook on the whole Christmas situation this year, I think you addressed the difficulties around it particularly well. Great job!
I love Christmas Eve so much. Its my favourite holiday. I'm 27 and I STILL cannot sleep on Christmas Eve so I stay up and watch Christmas movies and read A Christmas Carol! I cant wait to see you Christmas video this Year!
Your Patronus is an otter?! You are truly Hermione through and through!
To hear you discuss the anticipation made me so joyful... And I can truly say as a fellow 20yr old part of me still longs to hear the bells 🔔 im glad u had a wonderful 🎄
My comfort videos are your Christmas hauls 😚 I always come back to these when I’m feeling anxious or when I’m away and feeling home sick ☺️
I love how joyful she is about all the gifts she gets. They were so cute and vintage. Unlike the people who ask for more modern things she was happy with a adorable Christmas mouse and a deck of cards. Keep up with the wholesome content 😄
I was waiting for this video, they always give me gift ideas (whether to ask for myself or to buy for others) ! Thank you Ruby :)
The only "what I got for Christmas" video I'll be watching! Thank you for this beautiful message x
Yes Chris is my favourite illustrator too!!! I rarely see people talking about illustrators but I love his work so much
This video was really touching and new to witness, as most people just show their gifts but it was refreshing to view how you spent your Christmas with your family, the feelings you felt and your sweet, heartfelt message at the beginning. I hope you had a great safe Christmas and I wish you and your family a great new year :)
Yay thanks for including Hanukkah 🕎! Hope you had a lovely holiday season x
the only “what I got for Christmas” video I watch every year 😊🎄🎁
I don't like what "I got for Christmas" videos but I am totally going to watch this one cuz its super aesthetic and I love Ruby's videos💜💜
I LOVE the Timothée bagggg I am so happy for youuu 😮❤❤❤
isn't it gorgeous!!!
@@RubyGranger8 yes!! And also Call me by your name changed my life hahaha!
Your family is so in sync!! How do you just receive things you wanted without asking for them?? Magic.
I hope you had a great Christmas too Ruby despite the circumstances and yes it’s been really difficult not seeing extended family. I haven’t seen some of my family in over a year and I miss them so much and I just really look forward to when I can eventually see them in person.
Wow, I loveeee how well your family know you, the gifts you received are so suitable for you and Martha is an incredibly generous sister. XX
let me just say…..this video was presented with the utmost in grace, consideration and even elegance…..you are lovely💕
Your family is so good at presents, you can tell how observant they are and how well you all know each other by the presents! I would love to see a video like this from Martha too!
Your channel is pure and beautiful. You're gonna go places Ruby, you've got the makings of something wonderful in you. I'm so happy your Christmas was merry! I got a succulent by the way, shes quite small and her name is lolly. :)
I wanted to say thank you for helping make 2020 survivable- I know some people have had a really rough year, and I want to send good vibes to those who need them. I'm writing this in the last five minutes of 2020, and I did want to say that this (studytube) community, and your videos definitely have made a huge difference, and I hope other viewers feel the same!
Thank you very much, and have an awesome 2021! :)
I was so lucky this year in that I got lots of dark academia/harry potter style clothes. You have really inspired my aesthetics over the year
Timothee Chalamet is such a great actor and really just wonderful ! - call me by your name is one of my favourites too! love the film as well with the stunning scenery 🙌🏼😍
It's such a beautiful thing that you show handmade pieces and support local businesses! xx Aurora
Ruby I want to thank you for posting this video (I absolutely loved every bit of it)... Each year, your "WIGFC" videos have become apart of my Christmas tradition. Each are a pure delight because of the thoughtfulness and sentimental nature of each gift.
May you and your family continue to be blessed and safe!
Thank you so much for all your kind wishes❤🌟
I loved how every member of your family really gave you a special gift for you, how they really know you🌟i think that it's so cute
Such beautiful gifts! I think it's wonderful how aware you are already at this age.. It will save you time trying to "get" those things in the future. Your'e really lovely Ruby!
What a sweet vid. Tbh I think that a part of Christmas is in a way presents. Because they can symbolise the love you have for others. Gifts don’t need to be expensive! Or big! I love to hand make my gifts or spend time choosing things I know people will love to receive.
I bought and made so many gifts this year for others, especially family and friends, while I surprisingly received a lot less than usual. But that's okay, this year is strange and I love seing the surprised faces of those who I love :)
Whoever's reading this. I hope you had a few relaxing days without worries ❤️
Love how intentional this video is Ruby!
Right when I was watching your Christmas haul for 2019
Timing wow
Also, it's so nice of you to be so thoughtful of other people's conditions, and their situations. Thank you for being such a caring soul 💖
Your family really knows you well! That yellow dress looks gorgeous, the picnic basket looks amazing! And those Etsy candles!? It really does look like a dreamy Christmas 🥰
Merry Christmas from Denmark 🇩🇰
(Thank you for the Christmas card BTW Xx)
I'm a bit late but I love embroidering, my favourite thing personally to embroider is little flower fields and nature 🤗
im glad you posted this video! hope you have had a good christmas. thankyou for being aware and spending a few minutes talking about the odd christmas this year
So sad you stopped doing these. Yours was the only one I looked forward to.
Hello! I discovered your content recently, and it's a delight! You seem to be a very humble person and it's a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you for this wonderful channel.
I wish you all the best end of the year possible.
I've just spent over 20 minutes with Ruby (and her family) and I like that. Nice Sunday.
It’s so funny seeing you show the vineyard vines top! My family used to go to Martha’s Vineyard every summer when I was little so seeing you with a shirt from them made me smile! 🥺
Oh my god！when I see the tote bag!!! Ruby loves call me by your name toooooo!
“Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
