I am so sorry the crispix mix pouring into the pan WAS SO LOUD OMG PLEASE skip past that with the timestamps provided in the description. And Merry Christmas!!!
Wishing Adam a speedy recovery and you still rocked in the kitchen! Snacks were made, kids are fed, and cookies were decorated. That's a WIN in my book.
Give yourself some grace girl. Your baking & cooking were a WIN not a FAIL. Everyone was fed, kids got to decorate cookies and you spent quality time with the family watching your go-to Christmas movies. Memories were made. Will some people miss some of the yummy treats? Maybe, but they'll also love enjoying what you did get to make. Do what you can and know it's enough. And hopefully hubby feels better soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to the Chapins! I discovered your channel years ago when you were making Christmas Eve movie food and fell in love with your creativity💜. Last year 8 tested positive for Covid on Christmas Day. This past Monday my husband got the stomach bug, but thankfully bounced back quickly. There’s always a glitch but as you said, the kids have a great Christmas . The6 won’t remember what didn’t get done, they will remember the time spent together and how much Mom did for them ,
Thanks for being here when I woke up way too early. Your list of things to make was sooooo ambitious for one evening’s work . Now that the kids have grown, and are more health conscious, we’ve simplified things. I really enjoy watching you and the recipes that make it Christmas.
I'm glad her friend can spend Christmas with you. Makes me sad she isn't having some family traditions of her own though. :/ Lucky to have a good friend to share the joy with though!
What a Christmas gift to wake up to! Thank you for working over time! One could say that you absolutely-cooked and made bread! Last minute deadlines ain’t got nothin’ in ya! 🤣🍞⏰ Your cooking is A1, by the way. What I love about Crispix mix (or mixes like it) is its flexibility. You can make it savory or sweet based on other dishes/peoples’ preferences. Sometimes even a mixture of both. Either way, I’m always going in for second, third, fourth… bowls! Happy Christmas, Jen! You’re killing it and I hope you’re doing well, too! 🎉❤🎄🎅
Sorry to hear the illness is still go through your family. Hope you all start feeling better. We had to switch our plans and have Christmas Eve as our Holiday because our son and his Girl Friend both have to work on Christmas. It turned out amazing. Today is Christmas and my Gardening neighbor is coming over to cook her entire Meal for her family using my Kitchen. Her stove blew out yesterday and she had no way to cook her meal. I did get up early this morning to finish cleaning the few dishes we didn't do last night.
My non-negotiable Christmas movies are Home Alone, Christmas Vacation and Christmas with the Kranks. There are more i always watch, but those 3 are the ones I can't miss!
Watching this video early before anyone else is up and I have to start breakfast! Merry Christmas! I was hoping you'd show your savory recipes bc next yr I'm stealing the idea of sweet AND savory snacks!
It seems like every holiday, someone in our extended family is ill and contagious ….so family plans are changed or canceled ~90% of the time. Flexibility is key.
Jen, it’s 1.25am. I just finished making hash brown casserole for brunch. We had turkey supper, I usually do beef dip Christmas Eve and turkey Christmas Day. This is great, lots of leftovers for tomorrow. “Merry Christmas to you and your family.💕🇨🇦🎄🎁
If you tell no one what you didn't get done then they think you got it all done. You are a trooper. Recipes are all keepers and have added them to mine. looking forward to yet another video tomorrow. Hope you get some good sleep. Take care. "Merry Christmas".
I would add It’s A Wonderful Life and every Christmas episode of The Office as non negotiables. . Merry Christmas from Michigan. Hope Adam feels better soon.
Jen, with all the obstacles that you have incurred..I think you have done a remarkable job!!! And you are still going.. .Yay you!!! Merry Merry CHRISTmas to you and yours✨️ ..btw ..so right about the kids having a good Christmas..I think as Mom's..that's what we strive for..my kids are 34 and 24..and that is always my goal..I should also say..my parents as well..they're in their 80's..
Merry Christmas! We're still sick here at my house also! I'm going to miss seeing some of my kids and grandkids! But I don't want to get them sick so I'll be home.
Similar situation here - I normally make all the Chex mix, puppy chow is made the day after Thanksgiving. Not this year. I still have not made the Chex mix OR the fudge. I am making fudge today and the other Chex mix tomorrow. I am not returning to work until Saturday so that gives me a couple of days to get it done. I also want to make Matzo Crunch (matzoh covered in a toffee crunch and dipped in chocolate). I also have not finished my son’s Chanukah shopping. I will finish it on Friday. I have wrapped some of his gifts and all of hubby’s gifts. I got my gift early - a new iPhone. Yeah. I needed a new phone. My old phone was an iPhone 11. Merry Christmas, Jen.
Pick your battles after sickness. I choose not to make cookies or send out Christmas cards. Yet, we were given a tray of goodies, so we didn't miss out. I hope Adam feels better soon.
Oh Jen, I’m so sorry you have all been sick! I hope Asan feels better soon! I think you’ve done a wonderful job! You always make so many things and you always worry that you don’t have enough. You’ve made plenty and the kids are happy no matter what you made. It’s your love that shines the brightest. Always remember that!❤
My son and I had the flu the week before Christmas. I was out for almost a week. This year is awful for illness. I pull Christmas together, but I just couldn't do all the stuff I usually do.
Merry Christmas Jen and family; my husbands been sick since fri( hes mad cuz his first day off started fri😂we're empty nesters, so im looking at the uncooked 7lb prime rib in fridge; no dinner for us😂
For sugar cookies, many years ago I bought a “No Mess Dough Disk” with the cover from QVC! I don’t know if you can still find them, but it makes rolling them out really easy
Merry stuff from COLD michigan.. wow! As far as the crispex mix goes. I'm looking at it this way by God, be loud be proud 🎉 thanks for sharing your goodies ❤ everybody just needs to get better, so you can rock in the New Year. 🎉 i'm thinking bigger and better in 2025.......❤👍. I always left unfrosted cookied in the freezer for sneaky snack....🤭 just for the mom
Do you have any advice on keeping your kitchen/house clean with toddlers and working full time? I'm constantly overwhelmed with the evening rush and it's so hard. I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm grateful for your content because it's much closer to my everyday life
i did absolutely nothing i would normally do during the christmas season. We lost my grandfather in the middle of october and this year just isnt christmasing like other years past.
Merry Christmas! Wow! I didn't see a fail in there! I did nothing! My asthma is so bad that I'm lucky to not have ended up in the hospital! Even if we'll, if I had accomplished what you did, everyone would have dubbed me supermom!
Oh my goodness, no Scrooge, must has Scrooge, there are so many variations of it, I like the old English version with a Alister Sims, but that’s probably to old for your family, but there are so many newer versions , give it a shot 👍
Hi Jen. Just curious. What do you do with all your baked goods? Do you give some away to friends/family, freeze them for later, or both? Thank you for your videos, especially for posting even when you and family are sick. Happy holidays to all!
It happens and it's life. Imo the kids nor hub's memories are not going to be about what you didn't get done, nor those of anyone's, imo. In fact hub will probably feel bad he was not up to helping or doing his part. You did more than many, and life happens. We set ourselves up with too high of standards sometimes. What matters is the time together, sitting with your kids and laughing at the movies, etc. or whatever. No one can even do that if they're in the kitchen or worried about it. All I can say is what I see with hindsight, and what my now grown kids say. And it truly is the simple things, the time spent together. If one or another treat is missing, it is not the end of the world. We put way too much on ourselves and it only interferes with time spent. This is just my opinion, but even if Adam isn't better and can't make it, kids need to learn such happens too. It's life and all need to be prepared to deal with such and know how to do so. Sh*t happens. I know I'm giving my two cents worth, sorry, but all seems fine, just roll with it. Merry Christmas to you and yours and a very Happy New Year! And to ALL on here.
"Please help me" ?? Lady, you got yourself into this...instead of buying so much crap at Walmart, you could have bought a box of cookies, a box of donuts, cooked some chicken and salad and call it a day. But nope, of course, you like making your life difficult and miserable.....you clearly have nothing to do, do you ?
Isn't Christmas a busy and tiring season enough, for you to on top do so much unnecessary cooking and baking ? You do like making you own life more difficult, don't you ?
I am so sorry the crispix mix pouring into the pan WAS SO LOUD OMG PLEASE skip past that with the timestamps provided in the description. And Merry Christmas!!!
It wasn’t so bad Jen!
Didn’t even realize it girl !!
Merry Christmas ⛄🎁 to you and your family Jen.
I never even noticed it lol. I think you did a GREAT job! Hope everyone is feeling better. Merry Christmas!

Viewers, keep your hand on the volume control :)

You’ve made plenty and the kids are happy no matter what you made. It’s your love that shines the brightest. Always remember that!❤
Our house has the Christmas stomach flu and a head cold on top of that...wishing Jen and everyone good health and happiness!
Oh no, I'm so sorry! I hope you all feel better soon!
Our Christmas was delayed because of the stomach flu working its way thru our family. So I can empathize. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hi Jen. Just curious. What do you do with all your baked goods? Do you give some away to friends/family, freeze them for later, or both? Thank you for your videos, especially for posting even when you and family are sick. Happy holidays to all!
Yes, friends family and neighbors:)
It happens and it's life. Imo the kids nor hub's memories are not going to be about what you didn't get done, nor those of anyone's, imo. In fact hub will probably feel bad he was not up to helping or doing his part.

Merry Christmas to you!!🎄
Cut off all of the hard parts of the broccoli stem, it's better than the florets.
If you consider this SuperMom effort a fail, I don't know how to grade the rest of us. ❤
Not a fail at all Jen...you went above and beyond...Merry Christmas! Hope Adam feels better quickly!🎄🎁
If you've got the stomach bug in the house you stay at home and don't make treats for people out of your home. You are a nurse and should know better
I have a feeling she knows what she doing xx
"Please help me" ?? Lady, you got yourself into this...instead of buying so much crap at Walmart, you could have bought a box of cookies, a box of donuts, cooked some chicken and salad and call it a day.

So much bloody noise in this video !!!!! So stressful....pffffff.
Isn't Christmas a busy and tiring season enough, for you to on top do so much unnecessary cooking and baking ? You do like making you own life more difficult, don't you ?
You did great friend 🫂🫶 this is my first Christmas completely alone so definitely with you on the rolling with the punches
