Hey Grace! I just wanted to comment and tell you how much your videos mean to me. I'm 27, with chronic illness, ADHD and autism. I work but everything is much harder for me. Most of the time I am so exhausted I can't do much outside of work. But where there was once empty silence now is filled with your joy and love of Christmas. I love watching your positivity and feeling included in society by just playing your lovely videos in the background. Thank you grace x
I feel the same and also have a chronic illness. Not many people understand - but your comment resonated with me and how I currently feel ❤ Christmas can be a difficult time but I agree, Grackle really does help to appreciate the small happy things at this time of year xx
Grace, hold tree decorations to your heart! Im 52, Mum died in Oct 2019, in another country, lost interest in Christmas but i still hold hard in my heart our family's treasured mish-mash tree! Memories 💯. That's Christmas!!!! Brother now has all the cr@p from our childhood on his tree! Love how the family tradition carries on! Love this new ADULT Grace Vlogmas xxx
Grace, your face when Mr. Grack says it's dying 😭 Just think of what Joey tells Pheobe in friends! The trees were born to be Christmas trees, the trees are fulfilling their life purpose by making people happy. 🎄❤
Such a wholesome video! I actually saw you at The Holiday concert by the bar when you got a drink and popcorn haha but was too shy to say hello, hope you loved it as much as I did ❤️❤️
my bf and i moved in together this summer so this year was our first tree too!! went to all the thrift and charity shops for the decorations & they had sooo much choice and it cost me barely anything!!!
Watching your vlogs always cheers me up but your vlogmas ones make me especially happy. I've spent a lot of Christmas' in hospital which often kills the festive vibes but your vlogmas videos make me feel more Christmassy
Yay,so happy you got a real tree, and decorationsbuilt up over the years are the best, I am have my baby 's first Christmas one and this is its 40th year!
I loved the vlog; especially when you guy's were putting up the tree. Grace, you mentioned in your unboxing of the gifted Aromatherapy items who'd get that gift set; she'll be so happy.😍 When you share your experiences and gifted items; it makes me think how shocked you must feel with some of the great things brought your way since becoming a UA-camr. I had to be nosey 😊🤭 so I looked up the prices of your Aromatherapy items and jim dandy that was an AWESOME gift. Hard work and dedication pays of no matter what job you do. Stay blessed and Season's Greetings.🎄🛍🎁❄☃️
My heart broke a little for mr. Crackle. He was so proud of the Christmas tree he got for the woman he loves. ❤ I love your tree. I can also make more of your own decor. Maybe from recycled paper.
Grace! A real tree is like cut flowers, make sure you keep up on water and it stays “alive” for a good while. We always use boiling water and add a spoonful of sugar! 🤷🏻♀️ Stays green for ages 😂
potted ones are super heavy to carry in and out (when the soil is moist) and they also have the tendency to die as they are not really enjoying the dry air and 23 degrees :D
Due to chronic illness I’m not really able to go out or do many festive things. But your vlogs definitely get me in the right spirits and it feels like I’m experiencing them with you (a little bit)
Every year my husband and I go out and buy each other a Christmas ornament. We started when we were dating but got symbolic ones such as a bell and a church when we had our first Christmas together. Now we have a child and have their ones to add to our mix.
I saw the holiday in concert tour - I loved it! I work in a theatre and we also had love actually in concert too - I got paid to watch it!!! It was incredible! (As someone who works front of house in a theatre, can I just remind people not to film the shows 😂)
Your tree is so pretty! I bet someone has suggested this, but I got the advice years ago to water my tree with a mix of corn syrup and water ( mostly water, of course!) to imitate sap. Keeps it green through the holiday. Yes, I agree about the potted tree :) I got a real tree bc I got my kids all hyped up about the whole festive experience of going to cut one down. & then I immediately felt super guilty :( At least around my area, they will actually recycle them into mulch, which is nice. Next year, I am getting one from Balsam Hill 🎄
It's literally an industry. They are grown to be cut down. We use sugar and water mixture, and don't put tree near vent or source of heat. What is Balsam Hill?
@jonap5740 Yes, always good reminder about keeping it far from a heater 😇 Balsam Hill is a company that makes fancy fake trees. A bit pricey up front but they do get good reviews (+they have sales). Hope you have a nice holiday season!
I once saw an interactive play, I guess, at King's Island, done with the movie School of Rock, and I loved it. It was very enjoyable, and that is one of my favorite movies.
Grace, after Xmas how about ok ting the tree in the green? I did my first ever 20 years ago at the bottom of the garden , it was tiny 29 years ago, now it’s 4ft.. lovely memory
I just got this random idea and it’s probably too late, but since you now have a website, we could have arranged a Christmas card exchange amongst your followers 😊It can be a lonely time for many, but we’re such a lovely community here. I don’t know technically how to execute this but I bet it has been done
Just a random thought; and I do not know if you are blessed with any lakes or ponds in your area, but maybe you could donate the tree to one. That is what we do with ours. Old Christmas trees are like gold in many ponds, lakes, and rivers. They provide much needed shelter and habitats for fish. Not only does our County Public lake and local river request them, we have sunk several in our own small pond for the minnows, bass and bream. Another great one! Keep spreading the joy.
Depending where you live it is sometimes possible to hire potted trees, which get replanted by the company when they are too big for people’s houses. Worth investigating (though not cheap obviously). If you only find companies who do this for businesses, consider getting together with a consortium of friends and see if they will work with you…or just keep making repeated requests for a domestic trade arm. If you don’t create the demand they won’t do it. Alternatively, do your research and buy the correct type of potted tree which you can bring in multiple years yourself. If you get a slow growing variety and keep the pot on a wheeled unit this can last a long time. Don’t get a quick grower. When it is too large to bring in then there is the possibility of trying to find a local home for it such as a community garden/church/hospice etc with large groups if your garden isn’t large enough. We did this and I think we had it inside for about eight years and in the ground about thirty before it ended up getting taken down after another tree near it damaged it. But it never got very big. My elderly parents currently have a’wheeleytree’ which they push outside their patio window every year and put lights on. It’s grown about six inches in four years. It stays outside and they look at it through the window! Inside it a little fake one on a table that is out the way can’t make a mess. Not quite the same but it’s very easy to deal with and costs nothing.
Grace, you know you have to water your tree, to stop the needles falling off. Put water in the base every day. We had that green base when we first started out. 😂😂😂
May I suggest that you get your niece/nephew (congrats to your sister!!!) an ornament every year that relates to their life or interests that year. By the time they get their first tree they’ll have a very personal collection ready to go. Even better if you make them one each year. So special!
It's a very pretty tree. I hope it makes you smile all season long! I think you got cheated on the "bath bomb", though. I was expecting a fountain of water to erupt when you put it into the tub, and was disappointed. 😢
I can tell you love your hubby so much I would truly recommend the book ‘Love Dare’ by the Kendrick Brothers. You could get one and get one for hubby. But *don’t tell eachother * when you start the love dares!! It has been life changing for my marriage and I’m the only one doing it. God cares about your marriage and wants it to go from strength to strength! 😊❤️🌹❤️
Warning against a potted tree ... My in-laws had one and it only stayed small enough to be inside for a few years. They planted it outside and now it's so huge that they have to pay an extra $500 every year on their insurance. Real Christmas trees will last better in a bucket of water. We always had one but even with care needed a fresh one on Christmas Eve to see us through the 12 Days of Christmas.
I think it was London that boasted of a place that sells potted Christmas trees that you return and they keep them growing for the next year or something like that.
Would love to hear you talk more about your faith, what better time of year to do so. Also, you can plant your tree in the garden when you are ready to take it down and it should last the year.
Grace, those non alcoholic drinks are insanely priced. People are struggling to eat and pay bills etc and you're spending almost £7 on a single non-alcoholic drink to have at home 😬
Mr Grack referring to himself as Mr Grack😂 and your face when he told you the tree was dying i laughed out loud so funny❤
Hey Grace! I just wanted to comment and tell you how much your videos mean to me. I'm 27, with chronic illness, ADHD and autism. I work but everything is much harder for me.

I love your Christmas tree and you are so correct that collecting ornaments over the years is such a wonderful way to decorate your tree.
Such a wholesome video! I actually saw you at The Holiday concert by the bar when you got a drink and popcorn haha but was too shy to say hello, hope you loved it as much as I did ❤️❤️
I’ve been looking forward to you decorating as Mrs Grace in your own home 🎄🎁😃❤️🧸
‘So that was a wee bit of a stone in the Heelys.’ GRACE YOU ARE HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣never heard that one before!
Grackle vlogmas is the best time of year. Like a warm blanket so cozy!
Thank you for the wonderful vlogmas videos. You are such a great vibe. So nice to see you and Mr Grack doing christmas traditions as a married couple.
my bf and i moved in together this summer so this year was our first tree too!! went to all the thrift and charity shops for the decorations & they had sooo much choice and it cost me barely anything!!!
A lovely vlog, your tree is beautiful and you are right about the Christmas tree ornaments
Watching your vlogs always cheers me up but your vlogmas ones make me especially happy. I've spent a lot of Christmas' in hospital which often kills the festive vibes but your vlogmas videos make me feel more Christmassy

Grace you excitement is endearing.
My heart broke a little for mr. Crackle. He was so proud of the Christmas tree he got for the woman he loves. ❤
I love your tree. I can also make more of your own decor. Maybe from recycled paper.
Bringing me a lot of comfort this afternoon. Thank you ❤
Grace! A real tree is like cut flowers, make sure you keep up on water and it stays “alive” for a good while. We always use boiling water and add a spoonful of sugar! 🤷🏻♀️ Stays green for ages 😂
Luke warm water is better, so no shock
I think you can replant it in the garden! And you can help it to thrive! We get a chopped tree, but my parents feed it with water the whole time 😉
Wishing you, Mr Grack and the Booths a very merry Christmas ❤🎁🎅🏻🎄
potted ones are super heavy to carry in and out (when the soil is moist) and they also have the tendency to die as they are not really enjoying the dry air and 23 degrees :D
Its funny how you get used to different temperatures, has been around -10 to -15 the last couple of weeks here, -8 yesterday felt warm! 😅
I remember getting our first tree over 30 years ago and it was SO exciting 😊
When I and my fiancee started living togheter, our first tree was baptized Gandalf the first, we are at Gandalf the 7th this year 😁😁
You make me happy. Thank you!💖
What an adorable Christmas tree!🎄
Due to chronic illness I’m not really able to go out or do many festive things. But your vlogs definitely get me in the right spirits and it feels like I’m experiencing them with you (a little bit)
I think the friends at the concert are Graces Uni friends? I'd love to know what jobs they are doing after their baking degree, so interesting !
Love the Hayes blast from the past 💙
Every year my husband and I go out and buy each other a Christmas ornament. We started when we were dating but got symbolic ones such as a bell and a church when we had our first Christmas together. Now we have a child and have their ones to add to our mix.
Absolutely loving your content, I feel so warm, cosy and Christmassy having your vlogs for company on the evening 😊 ☺️ 🤗

(As someone who works front of house in a theatre, can I just remind people not to film the shows 😂)
🎄🎄 We always cut the very end off our tree and put it in water which we top up everyday and out tree seems to last a long time. 🎄🎄

I love the little red bows, Grace. No need to buy a bunch of ornaments. We made ours for the first while, and friends would send some each Christmas.
I just got this random idea and it’s probably too late, but since you now have a website, we could have arranged a Christmas card exchange amongst your followers 😊It can be a lonely time for many, but we’re such a lovely community here.

Our tree is a bundle of memories ❤
Yayyy There's nothing like a Real tree for Christmas 🎄I'm putting up me white Christmas tree today ❄🎄😊🎄❄Lovely video Grace💕
I’m exactly the same, hate fizzy and not a big alcohol fan but I do love the vodka shots x
I'd love to see Love Actually in concert, actually. Craig Armstrong's Glasgow love theme is one of the most beautiful pieces of music.
SO PRETTY!!!! great tree
Glad you got the washing machine fixed Grace. Was waiting for you to tell us what was wrong with it. Back to its full noisiness lol.

My friends always says, Xmas Trees, done right, always look like someone’s thrown up on them 😆
Had to go and watch your school video.
House looks lovely!
We got to see Love actually in concert last year it was magical. We booked to see home alone this year but it was cancelled 😢xx

Grace, you know you have to water your tree, to stop the needles falling off. Put water in the base every day. We had that green base when we first started out. 😂😂😂
Where is your lovely black jacket/coat from? It looks so nice and cosy 🥰
"It's dying" 😭 if you get a potted one you will fully be bringing in lots of bugs and spiders in each year
May I suggest that you get your niece/nephew (congrats to your sister!!!) an ornament every year that relates to their life or interests that year. By the time they get their first tree they’ll have a very personal collection ready to go. Even better if you make them one each year. So special!
Grace you seem to always be freezing in your house 😂 Im wondering why you don't use the heating system ❤
It's a very pretty tree. I hope it makes you smile all season long!
I think you got cheated on the "bath bomb", though. I was expecting a fountain of water to erupt when you put it into the tub, and was disappointed. 😢
Your reaction to the dying Christmas tree was very Phoebe Buffay 😂
I can tell you love your hubby so much I would truly recommend the book ‘Love Dare’ by the Kendrick Brothers. You could get one and get one for hubby. But *don’t tell eachother * when you start the love dares!!
It has been life changing for my marriage and I’m the only one doing it. God cares about your marriage and wants it to go from strength to strength! 😊❤️🌹❤️
So much more fun to accumulate them.

omg i've never been early like this to literally ANYTHING
You should call your tree Theresa Green (see what I did there) 😂😂😂
I think it was London that boasted of a place that sells potted Christmas trees that you return and they keep them growing for the next year or something like that.
You need a different stand so that you can water the tree and make it last longer.
Good afternoon hello 👋🏾 how you doing your still getting good Christmas tree 🎄😊❤
Hi Grack love ur vids ❤
can anybody in comments help me out - i’m looking for some non fuss recipe books for christmas?☺️ thank you!
Would love to hear you talk more about your faith, what better time of year to do so.
Also, you can plant your tree in the garden when you are ready to take it down and it should last the year.
❤
As long as it’s watered then it will stay alive into the New Year, a thick tree and presents will hide the pot.
Grace your face when you found out it is in fact a dying tree.
Grace, those non alcoholic drinks are insanely priced. People are struggling to eat and pay bills etc and you're spending almost £7 on a single non-alcoholic drink to have at home 😬
Can it grow 😐
:)
I want to send you a Christmas card. What address/ p o box may I send it to? love you! Merry Christmas!
'Mr Grack' acts like her dad
Am I first 🤔 yaaaay
