Hi Raya & Louis! Thank you so much for featuring my mum's ceramics business! It's so lovely to see you opening them. I really hope you enjoy them and put them to good use! ❤
The way Louis is proud of Neo for literally existing makes me so happy. When you said “I’m so proud of you for pulling out carrots” I was like wow! This is the love and support we all need ❤
I'm like this with my children.. it took me years to get pregnant with my first ...makes me so sad that there are parent's out there that are not like that with the person they created 😢
Ooh the Habit starter pack looks amazing! Please give our love to Eamon and Bec! I think loads of people are really worried about them because the last update they gave was that Baby Girl was having to be born premature. Sending them loads of positive thoughts and wishes. 💜💜💜
HEY RAYA! There are wooden reusable advent calendars that could be personalized for each family member. You and Louis could fill each other's calendars with fancy candy, trinkets, event tickets, love notes, jewelry, etc and Neo's could have candy, games, puzzles, stickers, etc. Great family tradition to start next year! You guys are so creative it would be so much fun to see what you have come up with.
Yess I’ve seen these, look great! Just need to have the head space to plan that, and order everyone’s gifts… and now I have to think about stockings? 🙈 I think when Neo is a bit older and can appreciate it I definitely want to put in the effort though!
@@RayaandLouis you don't have to fill all 24 windows at once, just put one little gift in each morning for Neo to find. That takes away the pressure of planning it all ahead. ;)
Raya, I'm so sorry you're ill - hope you rest and can enjoy having your family there...I know you're so excited! And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm loving how funny Vlogmas Louis is - his excitement is infectious!!!
I'm still watching...but as soon as you mentioned Eamon and Bec, I was so hoping you'd have some kind of update. I'm sending so much love and positivity their way right now. Loving Vlogmas so far!! Don't be hard on yourselves for having an "off" day and forgetting the 8 month anniversary of Neo's birth! If you didn't mention it here, he would have never known...LOL xoxox
25:55 it would be lovely to see a bit of Christmas day, but only if it doesn't disturb your enjoyment and being present in the moment. Hope Raya is feeling better.
I agree with you Raya when you say that your body knows your family is about to arrive so it’s letting go cause you have been go go go for so long..I’m hoping you feel better soon! I love the way Louis is proud of Neo for his swimming it’s very encouraging.
Most people get sick when they take holidays or days off. When you calm down and give your body and mind space to relax everything comes up on the surface. It's amazing you see your family coming as a support and not burden. Hope Bec, baby girl and Eamon are doing good. Wish you merry holidays :)
My family open gifts 1 by 1 too, I love it because the presents last all day and it doesn’t feel sad that it’s over too soon! We work through them all the way up to having our starter then eat come back, open more, eat main meal, come back open more and repeat…
This was the best real parenting video yet! 😂"crap he's waking up" Our daughter was born just a week after Neo, so watching your journey has been so much fun! Thank you!
You guys are doing such a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing with us and helping us all get through these shorter days and longer nights together. Neo is gorgeous! 👶
Letting Neo self soothe when he first wakes up is something you could start considering at this point! I was a nanny for newborns for many years and I swear by self soothing!
I feel you Raya! I've had a fever for a few days now, slightly starting to get better but there are some nasty bugs / flu going around at the moment. Really hoping you're feeling better before Christmas, sending lots of positivity :)
22:47 a tip for large group opening, especially if there are gifts from people who aren't present! A list of who got what from who might be useful. I have a large family but I can see that you can keep track of 3!
Hope you feel better soon. Love seeing how Neo is so active and how he kept his eyes on race car his daddy got him. Can't wait to see him walk and say his first words. 😮
Hope you feel better soon Raya! I can totally understand the “relief “ when family arrives, it is so nice to be with family especially when you’re not at your best! Have a Merry Christmas! It is so much fun watching your vlogmas!
Not like he will remember missing one month, don't parents usually only do that the first year anyways? I'm sure he's going to have a fantastic Christmas, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year! :D
When Louis was counting down Neo going in the water you could see Neo's little face ready for the plunge! What a champ! .. Hope you feel better soon Raya xx
I hope I wasn't the only one, that when Neo caught the car, said yes out loud as if i was in the same room. clever boy Neo. Raya hope you feel better soon and get caught up on your advent chocolates.
Definitely one gift at a time: I used to write a poem with every gift: the recipient then tried to guess what the gift was, based on the poem: then it would be opened. My grandchildren say that's the best part of the opening of the gifts.
Raya I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you will be better for Christmas. Just take it easy from here till then. Your health is more important than making sure you keep up with your vlogmas. I know I'll be here when you feel better and I don't think anyone else is going anywhere. Those ceramic gifts are absolutely beautiful. I love how each of you look out for each other. Just automatically pitch in when one is feeling under the weather. Cali is going to be a great playmate for Neo. They both love each other. BTW Neo is very good with using the spoon 🥄 you guys are doing an amazing job with him. Well get some rest. Love you guys!! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 🤶
Omg can Loui describe more of raya's beauty products lol. I was laughing so hard when he was describing them. Loui was lost but we appreciate his enthusiasm
Enjoying the vlog :) Neo playing and looking at the camera and then looking back at Louis. Raya in the background. Been watching you both for a long long time. Life has changed for you now and Neo is too cute!
Hi xx Merry Christmas ❤ I would like to say out of all the Christmas vloggs you guys have won hands down…loving it …Absolutely brilliant, honest and so heartwarming ❤❤❤ Thank you xxx
I LOVE when Louie cracks Raya up!! 😂😂😂 you are both doing an amazing job with vlogging and everyday life! You are making a sometimes lonely, dim time of year brighter and I want to say thank you ❤ Louis that car and track set is the best and my boys love putting blocks under the track to make small hills. It is a lot of fun and I find myself playing with it too!! Good find and pick for years of fun! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family from mine in NJ USA ❤❤❤
Hi Raya and Louis, I hope you feel better soon Raya, there are a lot of viruses around at the moment. You and Louis are brilliant I am loving your Vlogmas and you are doing brilliantly with it. Little Neo is just so adorable he loves it in the pool bless him. I have been looking at your earlier vlogs, the travel ones are amazing; love you guys xxx
Hope you feel better Raya!! Love your vlogs as always! Btw I just received my long sleeve t-shirt and I have to say - seeing Louie’s name on the package and knowing I watched him actually bleach these by hand was a great feeling!! It feels great to support you guys in that way. Also - side note - I am American but grew up in the UK and used to LOVE Brighton beach when I was a little kid around 5-6yo. I didn’t even know beaches were meant to have sand until a little older 😂 Well into my 40s now and loving the memories from watching your videos.
Food before one, is just for fun!! Best thing my health nurse told me aha Neo is doing amazing at eating guys, it’s all about practice at his age.. his getting everything he really needs from his liquid gold
Hi guys Emma Lewisham has the best skincare I’ve ever used,raya will love the way it makes her face feel. The serum is not an oil it’s a crème which is the French way of saying cream as you said Louis
I definitely love all the tea 🍵 recommendations bought the tea Avent calendar because of you guys and now I’m gonna try out this new company thank to y’all
I have only got as far as bath mat saga and choked on my tea. My son in law did same thing with bathmat and washing machine. I so wish the pair of them said at time. We would not have got a frantic call from them with flooded kitchen and machine beyond repair 🤦♀️ New machine installed, kitchen cleaned and life lesson learnt and a story for years to come
I think it would drive me crazy if my family opened gifts one by one. Lol. Don't forget to get Callie a couple gifts. Hope you are feeling all better today, Raya.
Hey guys! You are amazing! Thank you much for the videos! I have been watching Luis videos since 2011-2012 I think (I remember watching before going to the university) and now a have a son in Neo's age (born May 7th). Raya I hope you feel better soon! Please consider making a video day in the life of Neo from his point of view! I think ot would be very sweet! ❤
OK. You both are such proud, loving parents. I love that!! I also have to ask. Beans over toast?? Is that a European thing? I live in the US in Ohio and I have never seen that before.
Hi Raya & Louis! Thank you so much for featuring my mum's ceramics business! It's so lovely to see you opening them. I really hope you enjoy them and put them to good use! ❤

My daughter still has one of these❤ She’s an adult and still loves it
Love this!
But then sometimes it starts to feel like a chore ...that's the only thing to consider
Yess I’ve seen these, look great! Just need to have the head space to plan that, and order everyone’s gifts… and now I have to think about stockings? 🙈 I think when Neo is a bit older and can appreciate it I definitely want to put in the effort though!

Eamon & Bec’s chai blend is sooooo good! I decided to treat myself to the kit and also wanted to support them with everything they’re going through.
I've been experiencing such bad anxiety lately, but watching your videos makes me feel so calm. I love your little family!
Thank you so much! Sending you the biggest hug ❤️
Raya, I'm so sorry you're ill - hope you rest and can enjoy having your family there...I know you're so excited! And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm loving how funny Vlogmas Louis is - his excitement is infectious!!!

The gift part was SO funny. Louis saying "creme" the french way, another sweet and awesome vlog
Neo is so darn cure! Love seeing him and Louis in the swim class. Such a great thing to do!
You guys are doing such a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing with us and helping us all get through these shorter days and longer nights together. Neo is gorgeous! 👶
Playing with food should be encouraged at this age and stage in your child’s exploration of food 💙 Neo was eyeing up the pouch of goodness 👍🏻
24:22 🤣😂 the panic struggle on Raya’s face just to get that piece of chocolate 🍫 is real.
You bring up the question??? How are Eamon and Bec doing? sooooo wondering..... Hope all is well with them love them just as well. Merrry Christmas!!!
Letting Neo self soothe when he first wakes up is something you could start considering at this point! I was a nanny for newborns for many years and I swear by self soothing!
This series is the most I've seen Raya have really good belly laughs and it's awesome!
I feel you Raya! I've had a fever for a few days now, slightly starting to get better but there are some nasty bugs / flu going around at the moment. Really hoping you're feeling better before Christmas, sending lots of positivity :)
That is how we do it, youngest to oldest so you can see what you got and thank the giver. When we had little kids we did those all together.
22:47 a tip for large group opening, especially if there are gifts from people who aren't present! A list of who got what from who might be useful. I have a large family but I can see that you can keep track of 3!
That’s a great tip, thanks!

Just love Eamon and Bec’s Teas

Yay I'm glad you decided to vlog christmas day! Seriously gonna miss these daily vlogs, but you guys are gonna need some rest! ❤
When Louis was counting down Neo going in the water you could see Neo's little face ready for the plunge! What a champ! .. Hope you feel better soon Raya xx
I'm so glad you put yourselves first. Keeping real is much a good example to set!
I hope I wasn't the only one, that when Neo caught the car, said yes out loud as if i was in the same room. clever boy Neo. Raya hope you feel better soon and get caught up on your advent chocolates.

Watching Neo playing with the was so adorable! Habit tea is so good I love the Earl Gray!❤
Love these chill vib vlogmis videos!❤❤❤
I’m a teacher and whenever it is a school break or a break is approaching my body tends to run a fever. Your body knows when you need a break
Most of my kids presents are thrifted. They can be like new and doesn't make us go into debt over Christmas but still the fun
Neo shows really good understanding for his age, well done!!

It seems like everyone what's sick the month before Christmas. Myself included. I hope everybody is fully healthy and back to normal!
Raw garlic if can. Keep ginger in freezer and pureed organic spinach on hand to add to everything...
I can't imagine having 60 guests alleviating responsibilities, lol. I'm sure it will be a grand time. Sending light and love to all.❤
16 i think not 60 🥰
@@LucieSophia oh! Thank goodness. Lol
I agree plate bowls are elite!! Also Laughed so hard at Lois pronouncing the beauty products 🤣
My mom got these for my grandsons.
My son in law set them up to circle from dining room through kitchen and living room.
Definitely a big hit!
Really loved seeing Neo interact with the car
We have always opened gifts one at a time for exactly that reason.
I love your videos period. But, The way Raya laughs at Louis is FUNNY! Merry Christmas everyone
Not fair! Raya looks beautiful even sick!! ❤
Maybe try some eucalyptus spray for breathing and an Epson salt bath soak. It might help you feel better.
I really hope that you are all OK ❤❤❤
Hi Raya and Louis, I hope you feel better soon Raya, there are a lot of viruses around at the moment. You and Louis are brilliant I am loving your Vlogmas and you are doing brilliantly with it.

Gotta say, seeing the Habit products just makes me wonder how Eamon & Bec are?
I hope they're ok.
Lots of love to all. xx

Garlic….. cut some raw garlic and swallow with some water…. Not to mention you should have onion and sugar in a jar to make a syrup for cold season….
you guys are gonna be opening gifts all christmas day lol I'll be happy to watch 🤩🤗
I think it would drive me crazy if my family opened gifts one by one. Lol. Don't forget to get Callie a couple gifts. Hope you are feeling all better today, Raya.

Try cutting out some of the sugar… that’ll help your health in every way!
Domestic Louis is adorable 😍
Has the tea come from Eamon & Bec? I follow them on UA-cam and have often wondered what their tea would be like
does your home have a wood burning fire place or way to heat your home,?
I love these. You guys are hilarious! ❤
The ceramics are soooo beautiful!!! I'm a sucker for that stuff too, and small businesses!!!

Hamilton, Ontario Canada
I hope you feel better.
I love pasta type bowls aswell

24:40 🤣🤣😂 AAAND SHE’S OUT. EXIT STAGE LEFT. 😂😂🤣
Raya I love your excitement you are like me!
OK. You both are such proud, loving parents. I love that!! I also have to ask. Beans over toast?? Is that a European thing? I live in the US in Ohio and I have never seen that before.
British thing.
Hello Raya, just wanted to quickly say hello and tell you that you look gorgeous! Your skin looks so glowy and amazing, so pretty ❤🤩
Trafalgar Street is in the North Laines, not the Lanes, which are South of North Street.
the fire place behind u does it work? n is it gas or wood or both
I Watch every Day. Om Just went Thru surgery and enjoy you Guest. ❤
That pottery is beautiful!
Because so many cosmetics originate in France.
Louis is making me want beans on toast 😂
I’ve never heard of the name, Neo, is it short for something or is it from language I don’t know?
