Hello Miranda and Donna, from Northern California. I am so happy to be watching your video while enjoying a coffee on a cold and frosty morning. When I am feeling blah about life and the world, I look back on your older videos, which bring me joy and happiness to just listen to and reflect on books or baking ideas. Thank you, again for your videos, and for your holiday vlogs. I wish you and your Mom lots of happiness, joy, good health, and abundance in 2025!🎄⛄
Thank you so much! Season’s greetings to you too🎄❤️❄️

Your tree looks beautiful 🎄❤. Loved the jumpers, the grey was my favourite but the black and white was very chic. The tartan pinafore was perfect for your festive afternoon tea.
Thanks so much, Lucy! ❤️
Thank you Miranda and Donna❤ i am watching you from Vienna and you bring just the right Christmas Spirit to me. (cold and grey here)❤
Beautiful outfits! Love the plaid dress with the boots on you! Also like the gray jumper with the bows.

That tartan pinafore dress would be perfect for Burns night.😀
Happy Holidays to you & your mom.❤️❤️❤️

@ Thank YOU for the wonderful videos! 🌲🥂🥰
So happy you enjoy them! ❤️🙏
What a lovely vlog Miranda. I feel somewhat inebriated and very full up too. The cherry fudge sounds lovely! You and your mum remind me so much of how close I was with my mum whom I lost 3 years ago this Christmas. I’m so pleased you are both able to spend such precious and happy times together. 💕
Thank you so much, Paula! So happy to remind you of happy memories with your mum too. Sending you Season’s Greetings! ❤️
Dear Miranda, highly anticipated, I was so happy when your video was up this evening. I have had quite a busy day and it was such a treat to just sit down and watch your lovely Christmas video. The little penguins on your Afternoon Tea tray looked so incredibly cute!! I always love to see you and Donna together doing amazing things. It is just lovely and heartwarming!!! Unfortunately I will not be able to attend your Christmas gathering next Saturday, but it is for a lovely reason: I will fetch my younger daughter from the train station, she will return from a 3 month-stay in New Zealand. I wish you and Donna a very happy Christmas and a wonderful, healthy new year!!! I am so looking forward to all your lovely content! Thank you so much for always being such an inspiration, comfort and just being such an amazing person! Have a christmassy and wonderful week💖💖
Thank you so very much indeed, Inga for your lovely comments and always kind support of all my work! I appreciate your generosity and am delighted you enjoyed the vlog! You will be missed on the Festive Seasons of Story zoom, but Three Cheers for your daughter’s upcoming return home! You’ll be having such a lovely festive time with your family I’m sure! I wish you a very Merry Christmas (with some bookish delights to enjoy too!) and a Happy New Year to you and yours too! 🎁❤️🎄❄️xxx

Miranda, I love your selections for Christmas reading and your tree looks lovely so festive and cheerful✨🎄✨. I’m having a Christmas tea party this weekend with a few ladies. It’s so much fun preparing the different teas and tablescaping.

I imported your Christmas playlist and will play it on Christmas Eve for our annual party. We have a lot of musicians in our family who will joyfully sing and play along. I truly appreciate this wonderful gift and all of your recommendations. I have been reading books by James Rebanks this month while visiting Mendocino County in Northern California. It made for a very soothing experience which I needed. I hope that you and your adorable mother have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for being You!
🎄 ❤️
Thank you so very much, Toni! Lovely to imagine you all singing along to the playlist, and I’m so glad you’re a fan of James Rebinds wonderful writing too🎄🙏❤️📚
Everything looked lovely Miranda, including you and your Mum,. The afternoon tea looked delicious but I think I may have had trouble eating the penguin cake , he was too cute.
Cute and delicious ❤️😉
Beautiful video ❤❤
Where you and mom took tea looked enchanting
We had such a fun time! ❤️
I love that pinafore dress on you Miranda. Very cute!
Thanks so much ❤️
Thank you Miranda and Donna for this lovely and festive video. I enjoyed it so much ! And oh my , this High Tea in such a georgious ambiance : I envie you both. ( in a good way ) From my home to yours wishing you both a very Happy Christmas and a lovely New Year. With love from the Netherland.
Thanks so very much for your lovely words of support, Barbara! Warmest Season’s Greetings to you too! ❤️🎄❄️🙏
Awwwww Miranda and Donna! Lovely tree 🌲 My hubby is a N Ireland expat and I spent a Christmas (4 months) in Belfast. It was dark by 4. But light 20 hours a day in summer 🌞😂 Spent time there in the summer as well.
Now in cold 🥶 USA it’s bad enough, light by 7 30 am, dark at 5 pm.
Thanks for sharing your fun tree decorating. Christmas can be a tough time of year for so many.
Thanks for bringing a smile with your contagious kindness.
Merry Christmas to you, Donna and all your family 🎄🎅🏻
Happy holidays to you too! ❤️
I’ve been enjoying a Christmas book recommendation that you mentioned in a recent video. It’s called “A Surprise For Christmas.” I love a good mystery and it was fun to read about the different authors that I hadn’t heard of. I’m almost finished and will start another book you mentioned for Christmas featuring Miss Read, who I had never heard of, but am looking forward to reading. 😊
Absolutely adored this vlog! Uplifting and cheerful ⛄😍🎁
Your Christmas 🎄 tree is stunning 🤩 so lovely!
The red gingham dress is gorgeous too which I am thinking of buying for myself too 😊
Thank you for taking us to the beautiful afternoon tea as well.
Wishing you and Donna (her hair looks beautiful!) happy and cheerful festive holidays xxx
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I’m so happy you enjoyed the vlog! Warmest Season’s Greetings to you too! ❤️🎄❄️🙏
Loved all the Christmas cheer you provided. May I say, The Slow Gin looked beyond delicious! "Oh, how I wish I was your neighbor!" I just finished two of your holiday recommendations this week. Mr Rumple at Christmas, what a hoot this character is!! My first time reading one of his books. The other one is Christmas With Rosamunde Pilcher. My oh my....I tried so hard to savor this read! I took it to bed one evening and couldn't stop till the book was done! I just gave it a big ole hug when I finished. It now proudly sits on my coffee table. You have opened my eyes and life to the British world and I am enjoying it immensely! Merry Christmas! Laurie
❤🎉❤🎉❤

Read Dramatic Christmas found it a bit disappointing too. Tree is lovely.🥰
Lovely video, but (with tongue in cheek here ) I have downloaded “Winter in Thrush Green” on Audible…… Miranda channelling her inner Dotty Harmer anyone?! See you for CBC ❤️ ❤🎄🎄🌲 🤗
So glad you enjoyed it, Joy! Nice Christmas chapters in that Miss Read! None of Dotty’s “collywobbles” here, though, I sincerely hope! 😂❤️📚🎄
@ a favourite book over many years - just made me laugh as I watched you decant the Gin!
Miranda , you are so beautiful , lovely , and elegant with great style and taste . Same regarding your lovely Mother .
Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you! 🙏❤️🙏
Grey jumper is stunning it looks gorgeous on u beautiful...due to menopause I avoid jumpers😅
I’m 69 and I still get hot flashes and night sweats sorry to tell you. Hope yours won’t last like mine.
Thanks!
Thank you so very much, Andrea, for your very kind and generous support! I so much appreciate it! Wishing you very Happy Holidays! ❤️🙏🎄❄️
Thanks!
