the difference between Zalfie and other family vloggers; zalfie is genuinely excited to share the little moments with us and doesn't show all of ottie's moments, they don't overshare like other family vloggers. i love them with all of me and i hope you agree with this lmao
This is the first time I've watched her stuff in a long time, and all I can say is that she did a great job. The cozy old UA-cam vibe is still there, but in a more mature way, and that's bringing back many memories. The one thing that I'm most impressed by is how Zoe "incorporated" Ottie into the video... We get to see everything, but Zoe is still the "star of the show." Her identity as a creator is still there, and that's the tricky thing to do when the whole dynamic of your life changes.
an idea for the toy advent calendar - maybe keep the toys in a separate basket and just put one in for the day of the calendar it is, then she has to search for the day and is excited to find the toy since its just the one and isn't just focused on pulling them all out! :) so happy you are doing vlogmas! these are my favorite videos to watch
Question: Alfie, how does it feel to edit/watch your partner's day? Are there things you've learned about Zoe/Ottie/your family while editing vlogs from Zoe's p.o.v?
You're both such engaged parents and Ottie is such a bright child both in intellect and in attitude. It's such a joy to watch such a positive example of a family!
I started crying at some point and I realized I’m so happy for them I just CANNOT❤ I grew up watching them and I love that they’ve become such a beautiful family 🥲
QUESTIONS FOR SUNDAY: For Zoe: What are Alfie's best qualities as a father/co-parent ? For Alfie: Same question OR what are you most proud of Zoe for? Love to you both. Viewer since 2012 :)
I love the fact that you've documented some of the most important milestones and memories in your life, Ottie will be able to look back and watch her parents fall in love, move in together, get their first home, decorate her room, her birth and then the moments you enjoy with her. It's so lovely to think you've built years worth of time capsules. ♥
QUESTION FOR SUNDAY: Would you consider filming some bits around the house that you’ve changed this year and talk through them a little? So inspired by your taste & choices! Thanks for doing vlogmas this year!!!
I didn’t know how much comfort your vlogmases bring me every year till now (or basically every December), as there’s so much uni work this time of the year and I’m constantly stressed. Sitting down with my dinner whilst watching your video every day is just so nice and peaceful. Thank you and Alfie so much for that! ❤️
These vlogmases are making me so damn happy and nostalgic! And also... I cannot explain how beautiful I find that Alfie offered to help with editing. So incredibly generous... these two have always been an amazing and inspiring couple, but this was just the ultimate act of kindness - for Zoe but also for us 🥰
growing up in my teen years watching zoe and her doing vlogmas this year makes this time of the year so so special 🥹 every video so far feels so nostalgic and i'm so happy they chose to share their december with us 💙 thank you zoe, alfie, nala and little ottie 🤗 happy december!
So happy that you decided to make Vlogmas. It really helps to have a bit of light of Christmas 🎅 magic in this difficult and dark time. Best wishes from Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ottie is literally the cutest baby I’ve ever seen, her personality is so sweet, just love seeing her in the vlogs. Thank you and Alfie for making vlogmas happen, you guys are amazing! ❤
Just realized in the intro the snowmen outside show our little family of four as well! Soooo cute, Thank you for filming Zoe, thank you for editing Alfie! Christmas comes everyday for us thanks to the teamwork
You two make great parents! You are both still so happy and cheerful even though parenting can wear you down a lot of days, communicating with each other, getting out to places, enjoying all the little things. It’s so refreshing to see ❤️
What has been the most surprising thing about parenthood that you didn’t expect?? I’m loving vlogmas! Thank you for continuing to sharing bits of your lives with us!! ❤️
Ottie is soooo cute and incredibly intelligent - being able to understand words and point things out in her books is amazing! Just goes to show how well she's being brought up :)
I love Alfie's hum notes ahahaaha this is literally the funniest thing and I can imagine Alfie laughing whilst editing, guys your team work is priceless, so funny!
The genuine excitement on everyones faces when Ottie is around - Grands, Pop, Sean, Joe is truly heartwarming!! Thank you for sharing snips of your little and family life with us!! You two are doing an amazing job as first time parents! ☺❤👏🏽
Ottie's adorable, she's growing up so fast! Also, Alfie's editing is so good, I died laughing at the 'ums' part ahahaha as for the question: What's your favourite Christmas tradition/memory from when you were little?😊
Oh my GOODNESS ME!! Ottie is the sweetest little lady ever! Zoe and Alfie are such good parents, 6:16 when ottie sat in front of the camera almost made me tear up at how cute it was!😂☺️☺️❤️
I can totally relate to just wanting to cry at watching your child enjoy a special moment. I wasn’t an overly emotional person until I had kids. Now I find myself tearing up all the time. My 5 year old played soccer this fall and I teared up at his first goal 😂
Shoutout to Editor Alfie! :P It is so special to watch you 3 as a family now doing vlogmas and getting festive! Watching your vlogmas is the ultimate end of the year pick-me-up for me, it puts me in such a good mood and reintroduces some magic into my life! Thank you for all the content you make and choose to share with us!
My favourite parts of this vlog.... Ottie picking up the advent book from the previous night, Your family swing tradition at the tree farm, Joe stuck behind the tree AND Otties magic trick 💖
Sunday Questions - What are you most looking forward to during Christmas? What have been your highlights from 2022? What are both of your goals and aspirations for 2023? ❤️ Feels so nostalic watching these videos after watching you for almost 10 years! You're my comfort blanket, love seeing what you get up to, even if it is pottering around 🥰
Haha, so umm-ing is a verbal reaction to bridging thoughts before we “land” them. I had a vocal coach for this exact reasoning and it can be trained out of you! It’s hard though. 😂
Zoe as a mom I understand getting emotional over little things. There is absolutely nothing better than watching our little ones enjoying life with the people that love them the most.
I'm so grateful for these videos. Getting off work is knowing I have Zoe's vlogmas to see is amazing. Watching these videos makes me look good and super grateful that we have this opportunity, another year. Thank you so much for this kind of therapy ❤️
I love the puzzle advent, I would glue each puzzle together and turn them into ornaments for your tree.... I love watching ottie experience all the festive activities, it's so beautiful...
I couldn't help but smile and laugh throughout this whole video, its so special to watch such a lovely family grow and watch special moments that I miss when I was younger. Hope you are both well. So excited about vlogmas.
Thank you so much for doing vlogmas!! I live in New Zealand and it's lovely living the cold winter Christmas experience through your vlogs as it is summer and a totally different experience here. So wholesome xoxox
Being able to watch Vlogmas with you guys and Ottie has been such a lovely thing to witness. I find myself getting emotional as I watch her personality come out. I appreciate you so much for doing these vlogs because it puts me in the Christmas feels.
Early riser here 🙋♀️Love taking a couple minutes for myself before the family wakes up and watch vlogmas. Thank you Zoe and Alfie for keeping the tradition and instilling some Christmas spirit and peaceful moments ❤
I've been watching since 2014, and I'm already finding this vlogmas so comforting and festive. I lost my sister (my only sibling) late last year, so the holidays can be particularly rough, but these vlogs are managing to put a smile on my face. Ottie is an absolute joy, thank you for sharing your beautiful little family with us. Much love to you and the fam!❤❤❤
I don’t often comment but I need to say thank you so much for doing vlogmas you really didn’t have to but it lifts my spirits up like no other!! Currently my boyfriend and I are doing home renovations and it kills me to say but I cannot maintain Christmas decor while sawdust and walls are coming down so you fill me with the cheer I am missing and I am soooooo thankful!!
So so happy you guys decided to do vlogmas this year 🥹 It’s like an online advent calendar ahaha And it makes my winter a little more cozy and festive~ Thank you so much from Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦
Hi Zoe, I always wanted a big family and and now as a mum of 7, I just wanted to know how big of a gap do you think you and Alfie will leave before having another baby ? You seem like wonderful parents ❤
Thank you guys so much for doing vlogmas it means so much to us all and I understand how hard it must be balancing your own lives with a one year old as well as posting continuously everyday. However, I do have a question for your Q&A. Is there anything that makes you wish you had children at an earlier time or do you feel that Ottie came at the perfect time ? 🤍
I loved vlogs before Ottie but they’re so much sweeter with her in them! She is so cute and what a lucky girl to have great family so close together o her!
Guys just want to mention it is so heartwarming even in little comments to hear oh we had a little argument and despite that see the joy you all share😊😊😊❤
Alfies doing an amazing job
the difference between Zalfie and other family vloggers; zalfie is genuinely excited to share the little moments with us and doesn't show all of ottie's moments, they don't overshare like other family vloggers. i love them with all of me and i hope you agree with this lmao
it feels like 2015 all over again🎄🥹

The way Amanda looks so happy when she sees Ottie is lovely. She’s such a loved little girl ❤
I love how joe is with ottie
Poppy: “Smile!”
Alf and Sean: 😐🫱🏻🌲

Ottie resembles Alfie’s mum so much to me! So sweet!!!!
You're both such engaged parents and Ottie is such a bright child both in intellect and in attitude. It's such a joy to watch such a positive example of a family!
Omg who need an advent calendar when u have zoe vlogs every day with ottilie xxx
the xmas vibes are so cute i can’t handle it 🥺🥰
I love how Ottie crawled down the little step at the tree place 🌲 backwards. It’s so cute when toddlers do that🥹
I cannot wait for a Zoe and mark vlogmas vlog. The present exchange ones are always my favourite
I started crying at some point and I realized I’m so happy for them I just CANNOT❤
I grew up watching them and I love that they’ve become such a beautiful family 🥲

Seeing Amanda and Nick with Ottie melts my heart ♥️
Was not feeling Christmas vibes this year but already 2 days in to Vlogmas and you have already put me into the Christmas spirit 🤶❤️
Can I just say how cute this joint effort for Vlogmas is ? Like how sweet is it that Alfie is editing them ? 🫶🏻
I didn’t know how much comfort your vlogmases bring me every year till now (or basically every December), as there’s so much uni work this time of the year and I’m constantly stressed.

Joe's "you're rubbish at that" to ottie sent me into a different dimension

Ottie is literally the cutest baby I’ve ever seen, her personality is so sweet, just love seeing her in the vlogs. Thank you and Alfie for making vlogmas happen, you guys are amazing! ❤

I CANNOT get enough of Ottie and her toothy smile. She’s soooo funny and cute.
What has been the most surprising thing about parenthood that you didn’t expect??
I’m loving vlogmas! Thank you for continuing to sharing bits of your lives with us!! ❤️
Ottis’s little hands opening her advent calendar! What a lovely moment in time you’ve captured.
Seeing you carry on your traditions with little Ottie is so amazing to watch 🥺❤
Ottie is soooo cute and incredibly intelligent - being able to understand words and point things out in her books is amazing! Just goes to show how well she's being brought up :)
I love Alfie's hum notes ahahaaha this is literally the funniest thing and I can imagine Alfie laughing whilst editing, guys your team work is priceless, so funny!

I love seeing Ottie's face as soon as she wake up ! She's so cute i would not mind seeing the ""same"" every day of vlogmas !
The vlogs brings me so much comfort. Thank you Zoe and Alfie
Ottie's adorable, she's growing up so fast! Also, Alfie's editing is so good, I died laughing at the 'ums' part ahahaha as for the question: What's your favourite Christmas tradition/memory from when you were little?😊
Thanks Alfie for editing! I definitely needed vlogmas this year! 🥹 Also idea for you, take the ums and turn it into a Christmas jingle 🤣
I love the editing comment from Alfie!! We need more of these!
ZOE'S VLOGMAS IS OFFICIALLY MY CRHISTMAS TRADITION, WELCOME BACK GORGEOUS, COULDNT BE MORE EXCITED FOR VLOGMAS 🤩😍
It's the team effort for me ❤ the fact that Alfie put 31 mins 1 sec for the puzzle
What has been the hardest part of balancing being a UA-camr and a parent?
Seeing Ottie unwrapping present each day is making me so excited to do the same with my niece :) definitely not tearing up ❤
Love the Christmas content. Alfie is doing great on editing feels just like zoe editing.
The moments with Ottie will just get more special as she gets older 🥰🥰
What is one of your favourite Christmas memories with Ottie so far and what is a Christmas memory you can’t wait to have with Ottie?❤
Oh my GOODNESS ME!! Ottie is the sweetest little lady ever! Zoe and Alfie are such good parents, 6:16 when ottie sat in front of the camera almost made me tear up at how cute it was!😂☺️☺️❤️
I love Ottie’s relationship with Aunt Poppy so precious, I’m an aunt and I love it, being an aunt is so much better than being a parent 😹🤍
ottie is such a chill nonchalant baby - totally opposite of Zoe's excitement about the toy advent calender 🤣🤣
I can totally relate to just wanting to cry at watching your child enjoy a special moment. I wasn’t an overly emotional person until I had kids. Now I find myself tearing up all the time. My 5 year old played soccer this fall and I teared up at his first goal 😂

Honestly feel soooo festive with Zoe’s vlogmas, I am so happy thank you so much Alfie and Zoe for vlogmas 2022 🥰🥰🥰🎄🎄🎄
Sunday Questions -
What are you most looking forward to during Christmas?

What are both of your goals and aspirations for 2023? ❤️
Feels so nostalic watching these videos after watching you for almost 10 years! You're my comfort blanket, love seeing what you get up to, even if it is pottering around 🥰
That’s one of my favorite parts of vlogmas, when you guys go all together to get the Christmas tree 🎄 ❤
Haha, so umm-ing is a verbal reaction to bridging thoughts before we “land” them. I had a vocal coach for this exact reasoning and it can be trained out of you! It’s hard though. 😂
how did nala react when ottie first came home? 🤍
Zoe as a mom I understand getting emotional over little things. There is absolutely nothing better than watching our little ones enjoying life with the people that love them the most.
I'm so grateful for these videos. Getting off work is knowing I have Zoe's vlogmas to see is amazing. Watching these videos makes me look good and super grateful that we have this opportunity, another year. Thank you so much for this kind of therapy ❤️
I love the puzzle advent, I would glue each puzzle together and turn them into ornaments for your tree.... I love watching ottie experience all the festive activities, it's so beautiful...
I literally grew up watching this! 😂
I couldn't help but smile and laugh throughout this whole video, its so special to watch such a lovely family grow and watch special moments that I miss when I was younger. Hope you are both well. So excited about vlogmas.
Loving every minute of this! The intro, the vibes and well done editing Alfie!! ❤
Thank you so much for doing vlogmas!! I live in New Zealand and it's lovely living the cold winter Christmas experience through your vlogs as it is summer and a totally different experience here. So wholesome xoxox
Omg I love the bit in the video where Alfie included all the "ums"!! lmao
Loved the little OOTD for ottie! Please do more of those this month! 💛
Being able to watch Vlogmas with you guys and Ottie has been such a lovely thing to witness. I find myself getting emotional as I watch her personality come out. I appreciate you so much for doing these vlogs because it puts me in the Christmas feels.

Much love to you and the fam!❤❤❤
Crocodile Rock! Omg, I was obsessed with that song when I was little. My mom used to play the cassette tape over and over again for me ❤ love this!!
You are not alone Zoe, you just described me to a t at the beginning when you said you have more energy in the mornings x
I can’t believe I’ve grown up watching you since like 2012-2013 I believe and it’s just wild time flies !
This has really inspired me to just get up and get on! I've just given the house a little tidy already! Love these vlogs! ♡
It’s soooo cute when you break the third wall and say stuff to editing Alfie and he responds 😭❤️
I don’t often comment but I need to say thank you so much for doing vlogmas you really didn’t have to but it lifts my spirits up like no other!! Currently my boyfriend and I are doing home renovations and it kills me to say but I cannot maintain Christmas decor while sawdust and walls are coming down so you fill me with the cheer I am missing and I am soooooo thankful!!
I absolutely LOVE the animated opening. It’s sooooo cute! I love Baby Ottie’s animated version. She’s sooooo cute!
Awwww ❤❤❤❤ otties magic trick - she’s adorable!
the absolute excitement i get when i see the notification come up on my phone for these vlogmas videos 🥹 loving them so far guys xxx
So so happy you guys decided to do vlogmas this year 🥹
It’s like an online advent calendar ahaha
And it makes my winter a little more cozy and festive~
