The first person to brag and say they have already wrapped all their gifts, has to buy us all a gift 🤣 Just kidding! Yay to you for not procrastinating! I however am a huge procrastinator! Anyone else put off wrapping like I do?
In addition trying not to wrap gifts at the last minute this year. My other goal is to make sure all gifts are accounted for and are opened on Christmas day - it is an ongoing joke. I always find something I bought after Christmas - so I give it to them for Easter...
My father was no longer in our life; my mother struggled. Each Christmas Eve, we were allowed to open one special gift. It always turned out to be pretty flannel nightgowns and slippers. My mother sewed them at night after we fell asleep. On Christmas morning, dressed in our new nighties, we were ready for our Kodak moment. Stiĺl rememer it at 82. Great ideas Leslie.
Yes, same with my childhood. Birthdays and Christmas we got gifts. If we wanted something special in between we had to save our own money to buy it. Life was so simple and wonderful back then.
I shared a room w my sister also. Christmas was slim for us also. We would get 1 big toy just laying under the tree unwrapped! It was so exciting! One Christmas I slept on the couch. My parents came out and checked to see if I was asleep. I pretended to be asleep and heard their whispers while they put the gifts out. I was the 1st to see them when they went back to bed! 😊
I just came in from shopping and feeling stressed. I am really struggling this year financially, not be able to buy for my chidren grandchildren and great granchildren. And sitting here listening to you was so relaxing and brought such wonderful memories over the years. And the poem at end may me remember JESUS is what it is all about. I know my family will tell me it's okay Nanna like you have always told us it's not about things it's about Jesus. They will be very happy with the little things I make or dollar store items for the babies. It's not the price it's the thought and caring to want to give
I am one of 10 children, and we didn't have much money when I was growing up, but I never knew, we had plenty of presents on Christmas morning, the best part of Christmas for me is that all the family come together, I am 70 this year, 4 days after Christmas, and we have 18 people to find seats for at the Christmas table ❤ It's going to be fabulous like every Christmas. Happy Christmas to you and Jason, I hope you have a fabulous time with all your family ❤❤
Oh, Leslie! I feel like we just spent time together. You wrapping; me crafting; two retired nurses enjoying each other’s company. Peace and comfort to you and yours this Christmastide.
This was wonderfully soothing. I, like so many, have been crazy busy so it was nice to sit down with my supper and feel like I was spending time with a friend. God Bless You and Jason.
I used to wrap everyone's gifts, but my children's, although I did a couple of theirs and put those under the tree) which were kept hidden until Christmas Eve night. Then my husband and I would wrap them before bed. The first 3 years after we separated and then divorced, we still did that together, so we were both a part of their Christmas morning.
Mesmerizing video! You are a total genius. The funny thing for this season as I am in a cast and I don't have an opposable thumb so I'm not doing any of the wrapping this year and yet you are still fun to watch. The only memory that came to me while watching was me being really little. I must've been able to read, but barely... because in this memory I insisted on delivering presents to each recipient. There must've been 15 to 20 of us, so it was quite a job with a mega pile. I kept messing up what "from" and "to" meant, so I was always delivering the giver of the gift the gift meant for the other person. At the time everybody laughed and I felt shamed because I really could never figure it out... But I'm 47 years old and I now find it hilarious. I was clearly very stubborn because any regular kid would quickly stop doing that task. lol Cheers to all the stubborn souls who go far in life because we refuse to back down from what we want, even if we're terrible at it! :-)
Thank you dear Leslie, it was interesting and very creative video; and, I loved, loved, loved the poem at the end of your video the most…very true, HE - the REASON for the Season - is closer than our breath to us 🙏🤗🙌😇
Talking about soft slow show..I was in Barnes and Noble bookstore and reminded me of that. It was so peaceful and beautiful with very soft music in the background. Leslie I didn t want to leave it was so enjoyable!!
Leslie, you inspire me in so many ways. Love that you’re a tulle fan!, it’s my “go to” for many occasions, instead of ribbon. So glad I watched this before wrapping gifts tomorrow. You do everything beautifully and soulfully. I hope you’ll keep on with your UA-cam videos. If the time comes when it’s too much, never regret taking time away. I’ve been there, before LBD was really spoken of or understood. My husband lost his battle over a year ago. It was a very difficult time, just getting my bearings now, and you’re a part of that somehow. Thank you and Jason for bringing awareness to it, you are brave, loving and wonderful people. God bless you on this journey ❤
Great ideas Leslie! I have wonderful childhood Christmas memories! The food and laughter! My grandmother made all her grandchildren pj's or gowns out of flannel and we all changed into them each Christmas eve when we did our big family celebration. All us kids in matching Jammies!
I loved this! You are a natural at this….so calming and relaxing! I love your regular videos…they are so cheery and upbeat. But this was a nice change of pace. I like to see a different side of you. Good job, loved it!🥰😘😍❤️
My grandma and grandpa made my Christmas special when we visited them. They gave all the cousins or the grandkids pajamas tops and bottoms or nightgowns and we'd all put them on and we'd have a blast best Christmas ever getting those new pajamas. Of course we had great Christmases with my big family there's nine kids in my folks as family I lost my dad in 2019 of cancer but my mom is still here and this year we're all getting together for Christmas so they'll be 10 of us and some of their families so that will be wonderful. Being together is the best part.
Wow.. You almost made me cry.. I'm in such bad mood and I don't get in bad mood's.. Your little poem made me smile though.. See how you u-tubers touch our lives sometimes.. You say just the right thing at just the right time and make our day's a little brighter.. Thank you Leslie.. I love you and your family.. You are a gift to all of us.. 🎄🤗🎀
I already wrapped all of my gifts 😂. That last one was amazing! Great job. I have a Christmas memory that's very cute. I think I was 6 years old. I came from a large Italian family with lots of aunts, uncle's and cousins. This one year we had Christmas Eve at our house. All of the cousins kept telling me that they heard that Santa was going to come visit us. We were all getting really excited! My Uncle Pat asked me where the bathroom was, as this was our new home. I told him that it was upstairs, but not to stay up there too long because Santa was coming. After he went up there my father went to the front door and looked outside because he said that he heard some noises that sounded like reindeer. All of us kids ran to the front door and looked out of the front windows. A gentle, magical snow was coming down. My father cried out, I see him! We all looked, and walking up the block with a big sack over his shoulder was the one and only REAL Santa! He was waving to the houses on our block. My dad called to him and told him that we had a lot of children inside who would love to see him. Kindly Santa obliged. He came in and we were all screaming with excitement. He sat down and opened his sack, and had a present for each child in there. When he was done, he said he had to visit other houses and my father walked him out. Just then, my Uncle Pat came back down the stairs asking if he'd missed anything. I was so upset that he missed Santa! Of course he actually was Santa, but it was such an incredibly magical night, with the gentle snow falling and Santa casually walking up the block waving to houses. 🎅
❤ It is so much fun to see different ways of wrapping. When I was in my early teens my twin and I wrapped gifts in a store downtown. We learned a lot about ways to wrap. To this day I am in my 70s I still love wrapping gifts 🎁 Sending hugs prayers and kindness with lots of smiles. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I enjoyed this time with you so much! Thanks for these ideas that turned out so sweet and pretty and no difficult folding! My daughter's presents from Santa always arrived in a special "never before seen" wrapping paper ;), different from the paper from/to family members. One year, she even found a piece of Santa's red suit that got ripped when he came down the chimney.
I would sneak under the davenport where I knew my gifts were stored. I played with a 3 x3 cube puzzle with “For God So Loved The World” on it. Then I would pretend to be surprised on Christmas Day. Another time I played with my magnetic paper dolls that were well hidden. I recall receiving a walking doll one year. But the best gift ever was a Barbie case (first one that came out) with the Barbie wearing a nurse outfit. Then mom made me clothes forBarbie including a fur coat. Great memories. ❤️🇨🇦
It's January 8, 2023 and I'm just seeing this wonderful video. Loved each idea and will use them next Christmas, or perhaps for birthdays throughout this new year! Thank you for adding the lovely poem🙏🏻💚🎁 Happy 2023!!!
What a lovely and inspiring post. Practical, but beautiful wrapping and embellishment for each type of gift ( thank you) shape and size. I love the poem at the end for the pause and reflection of the true meaning of Christmas! God bless you and yours and your willingness to share your life and talents with others. Merry Christ-mas! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
Wow. Great wrapping ideas. Wish I hadn’t already wrapped my gifts. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas! And Merry Christmas to you and Jason. God bless you in the coming year as well!
Wow Leslie that was wonderful. What clever ideas! But I wish you would have looked at us in the end! After reading the poem which I loved! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄💕🙏✝️. Debbie💜👏👏👏
Great gift wrapping inspiration! On my trip to Walmart yesterday I bought tulle in the ribbon section. I’ve used it on several gifts already and it has made such a difference! Ladies especially love to receive a beautifully wrapped gift and these look so beautiful! Thank you! I appreciated the “calm voice” but I missed your sweet cheerful voice because thats YOU! Sweet & cheerful. 💞 Merry Christmas to you & your family!
What a beautiful, peaceful video, Leslie. I loved all your suggestions for making simple yet elegantly wrapped packages, and the handmade bag was especially clever. I'm going to go back and re-listen to your closing words, or else see if there's a transcript. I pray that the rest of the Christmas season is so special, that Jason will enjoy it, and that it will be very very peaceful. Continuing to pray for both of you when I pray for my extended family member and his wife/caregiver, almost daily. ♥
Love that you're hittin' us with a little bit of ASMR! Also love the wine bottle/chocolate. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, and always praying for you and your family.
Leslie, very cute ideas to wrap my last-minute presents and we all have them. I kind of like the idea of you speaking so calmly while wrapping these presents. I have to admit, I like your energy and bubbly personality, but I think in this video, it is a perfect way to end my evening. Love to you and hubby and Merry Christmas! Best wishes and prayers that your new year will be peaceful and healthy.
Leslie, I do something similar. I have 3 boys and their gifts are all wrapped in their favorite color.... red, green, and blue. Thank you for the great ideas. I love the poem at the end!!!!! ❤️🧑🎄🎄
Love it! When my 3 kids were young they are adults now I wrapped the same gifts in same paper. For instance, if they got jeans, each pair would have same paper then if it was a book all the same again but different paper and so on. That way I knew to give them it to open at the same time. It also helped me see I had the same number and equal gifts for each. Now I wrap the adult in brown with bow like yours and the grandkids in the traditional Christmas paper. I enjoy your videos all the best!
Great wrapping ideas, thank you! And I loved the poem at the end. I grew up in MO and went to Branson and Silver Dollar City many times. Brings back wonderful childhood memories!🤗
As our grandchildren have gotten older, now 16 and 17, we wrap some of their gifts very uniquely. This year our grandson has to use a screwdriver to remove the wrapped plywood that encloses his gift. Our granddaughter has a gift enclosed in an old paint can that has been siliconed close then wrapped. We only buy a couple of gifts for our grandchildren and the remainder of the money is invested each year for their future education. This makes our Christmas unwrapping very funny. We do this with their birthday gifts too. Now it is expected that Nana and Papa will have some kind of gagged wrapped gift. It is all about making memories.❤❤ Merry Christmas to you and Jason. I hope you have wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family.🎅🎄🎅🎄❤️
Thank you Leslie for all the neat wrapping ideas. They were all so pretty. Really enjoyed the poem at the end. Merry Christmas to you and Jason and the family.
Honestly my thoughts were after I worked with memory care that it was you respecting Jason. I learned my resident's didn't like loud or excited sounds. However you gave me wonderful ideas on wrapping...thank you
Leslie, this was such a great video. I love to wrap and make different bows, but I learned a few from you today- thank you❣️ this was owesome. The last part was touching. Have a Merry Christmas❤
Thank you! those were great ideas! I missed seeing your pretty face. The last one was a winner. And also for the verse! it was true, Jesus is right there. Merry Christmas to your whole family! Joyce
I loved the soft spoken video. So calming ❤️ I really enjoyed the wrapping tips. Never too old to learn something new. Have a wonderful Christmas Leslie with your beautiful family ❤️
Aww Leslie, I love this video! Doing some Christmas crafting while I hang out with you ❤️ Wish I could hang out with you in person, would LOVE to have you as a neighbor! Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and Jason 🎄🙏
Super pretty! 3 years ago, I sewed a bunch of draw string gift bags from a few different Christmas flannel prints. Wrapping is so much quicker now, and we don’t have garbage bags full of wrapping paper on Christmas morning.
I really enjoyed this I found it really relaxing and we all need to feel relaxed in this crazy world, thank you for doing this and Merry Christmas to you, Jason and the family 🌲🤶
Leslie, just amazing as always. I only wish some of these had been a few days ago, because I have already wrapped and celebrated Christmas with my family. Will use the ideas for my husbands side of the family, because those gifts have not been wrapped yet. My family gets together the week before Christmas (so this past weekend) at my Moms, that way any that have small children, or that have other families to visit do not have to rush around to make all the trips necessary & my Mom gets our undivided attention. We also decorate cookies on Saturday and serve them at church the next day. We affectionately call them "The Ugly Christmas Cookies" because we are not professionals, and just want to have fun. The church members all seem to enjoy and look forward to this every year. Wishing you & Jason a very Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful, beautiful video! Calming, relaxing, instructive and sweet and fun!This is just you! All the qualities and traits you posess, you've put into this video. There is sooo much noise in this world. Way too much noise. Ohhhh, how soothing your voice is in this video! It was like sitting by a fireplace, drinking a cup of hot cocoa while learning something fun! I just cannot Thank you enough for this video! You have soooo many talents! Thanks for sharing it with us! Ohhhh, and please keep the "hot cocoa" ☕️🍫coming... ...it's very much needed and appreciated!!!
I love you to pieces...Leslie! I'm really surprised you were able to keep up the soft voice for so long.... praying blessings for you and your beautiful family. I love Jason and just think the world of him also!!!
Beautiful gift wrapping tips! Your voice was so calm and peaceful that it was lulling me to sleep. The most lovely part of your video, besides you, was your closing it out with the most fitting of poems! 😍🙏🎄
This Christmas has been extra busy, watching this was so calming that I could feel the tension leaving my mind and body. Would love more videos like this. The gift wrapping is beautiful! God bless, Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
What great ideas Leslie. 😊 They are all so unique! And I loved all your stories! Thank you so much for sharing with us all! Merry Christmas to you, Jason and your entire family ❤️🙏
I have to be honest…when the video started I thought “oh bless her heart, she has a sore throat.”😂 But loved hearing your sweet, whispering and wish all your family a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.🎄🙏🏻❤️ And, I too, enjoyed incredibly blessed Christmas celebrations in my childhood. So thankful for those memories. My amazing mother (who I lost in October😢) was an amazing hostess to 30-40 relatives at our home each year. We lived on a creek in one of the older neighborhoods in my city. It was such fun to run around all bundled up with my cousins while mom finished the Turkey and fixings. Especially loved the snowy years! Walking on the icy creek and throwing snowballs, sledding, etc. This was in the 60’s!! Miss those days…but such fun to remember.☺️⛄️🎄🎅🏻 God bless you!❤
Shhhh in my low voice I feel like I should be whispering! Love the wrapping tips. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your heart and family with us !
I like to use pretty ribbon on my gifts but what made my smile when you asked the question about gifts wrapping. Is that in my household EVERYONE knows that we don’t throughout the ribbon they have to give it back to use next year.
Leslie I loved the wrapping ideas, thank you. If you have time can write down the poem, it brought tears to my eyes. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night ❤
I am thrilled I came across your video, def gives me the ASMR vibe. Your wrapping is beautiful but your Christmas story I absolutely Love. I am going to be 60 years old in April & til this day I remember seeing Santa flying over my house in the sled with the reindeers 🤷♀️!! Crazy I know , I am sure it was a child’s crazy Imagination but it’s memory, I love
The first person to brag and say they have already wrapped all their gifts, has to buy us all a gift 🤣 Just kidding! Yay to you for not procrastinating! I however am a huge procrastinator! Anyone else put off wrapping like I do?
Normally, I wait until the last minute like midnight on Christmas eve. I have t9 wrap the last few gifts and put ribbons on them too.
@@hollyscott7273 Christmas Eve wrapping is definitely more my style! Lol
I procrastinate wrapped too !
Yep I am a Christmas Eve wrapper 🤦🏼♀️ I do it to myself every year!
In addition trying not to wrap gifts at the last minute this year. My other goal is to make sure all gifts are accounted for and are opened on Christmas day - it is an ongoing joke. I always find something I bought after Christmas - so I give it to them for Easter...
My father was no longer in our life; my mother struggled. Each Christmas Eve, we were allowed to open one special gift. It always turned out to be pretty flannel nightgowns and slippers. My mother sewed them at night after we fell asleep. On Christmas morning, dressed in our new nighties, we were ready for our Kodak moment. Stiĺl rememer it at 82.
Great ideas Leslie.
Mom's are special.....they always give their best for their children. Thanks to all the Mom's who go the extra mile to make lifetime memories.
Yes, same with my childhood. Birthdays and Christmas we got gifts. If we wanted something special in between we had to save our own money to buy it. Life was so simple and wonderful back then.
I shared a room w my sister also. Christmas was slim for us also. We would get 1 big toy just laying under the tree unwrapped! It was so exciting! One Christmas I slept on the couch.

I am one of 10 children, and we didn't have much money when I was growing up, but I never knew, we had plenty of presents on Christmas morning, the best part of Christmas for me is that all the family come together, I am 70 this year, 4 days after Christmas, and we have 18 people to find seats for at the Christmas table ❤ It's going to be fabulous like every Christmas.

Oh, Leslie! I feel like we just spent time together. You wrapping; me crafting; two retired nurses enjoying each other’s company. Peace and comfort to you and yours this Christmastide.
Oh my goodness your little story is so funny! Thank you for sharing! I love what you did to that bread!!! Wow!
This was wonderfully soothing. I, like so many, have been crazy busy so it was nice to sit down with my supper and feel like I was spending time with a friend. God Bless You and Jason.

So glad I watched this before wrapping gifts tomorrow. You do everything beautifully and soulfully.

Everything about this video was just perfect! You are so sweet, adorable & CHARMING (of course), LOL! 😉 Thank you! ❤🙏💚
Such a clever bow! I enjoyed the sound of the paper gift wrap.
Great ideas Leslie! I have wonderful childhood Christmas memories! The food and laughter! My grandmother made all her grandchildren pj's or gowns out of flannel and we all changed into them each Christmas eve when we did our big family celebration. All us kids in matching Jammies!

Great idea with the tulle bow. Love it
Absolutely love ASMR. I’ve always watch your dough bowl videos because they are so soothing. This video is the best! I’ve already watched it 3 times.
Leslie,
So enjoyed your sharing today of wrapping. I needed the nice calm time today. Your ideas will work for me. Thanks for sharing
My grandma and grandpa made my Christmas special when we visited them. They gave all the cousins or the grandkids pajamas tops and bottoms or nightgowns and we'd all put them on and we'd have a blast best Christmas ever getting those new pajamas.

You say just the right thing at just the right time and make our day's a little brighter.. Thank you Leslie.. I love you and your family.. You are a gift to all of us.. 🎄🤗🎀
I love this video. Thank you for sharing the wrapping most of all the poem. Jesus is the Love of Christmas. Merry Christmas to your family
I already wrapped all of my gifts 😂. That last one was amazing! Great job. I have a Christmas memory that's very cute. I think I was 6 years old. I came from a large Italian family with lots of aunts, uncle's and cousins. This one year we had Christmas Eve at our house. All of the cousins kept telling me that they heard that Santa was going to come visit us. We were all getting really excited! My Uncle Pat asked me where the bathroom was, as this was our new home. I told him that it was upstairs, but not to stay up there too long because Santa was coming.

I enjoyed this time with you so much! Thanks for these ideas that turned out so sweet and pretty and no difficult folding! My daughter's presents from Santa always arrived in a special "never before seen" wrapping paper ;), different from the paper from/to family members. One year, she even found a piece of Santa's red suit that got ripped when he came down the chimney.
Well done! Loved the simple, very doable, and yet beautiful wrapping ideas and the poem at the end was perfect!
So nice to watch a video that is soft instead of blaring loud terrible music!! Merry Christmas!!
I would sneak under the davenport where I knew my gifts were stored. I played with a 3 x3 cube puzzle with “For God So Loved The World” on it. Then I would pretend to be surprised on Christmas Day. Another time I played with my magnetic paper dolls that were well hidden. I recall receiving a walking doll one year.

I loved every bit of this! The gifts turned out beautifully and the end with the poem…🥺 God bless everyone this Christmas.
It's January 8, 2023 and I'm just seeing this wonderful video. Loved each idea and will use them next Christmas, or perhaps for birthdays throughout this new year! Thank you for adding the lovely poem🙏🏻💚🎁 Happy 2023!!!
A beautiful video!! The poem was very touching. Thankyou!!
Awesome ways to wrap! Especially loved the poem at the end.
What a lovely and inspiring post. Practical, but beautiful wrapping and embellishment for each type of gift ( thank you) shape and size. I love the poem at the end for the pause and reflection of the true meaning of Christmas! God bless you and yours and your willingness to share your life and talents with others. Merry Christ-mas! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
Lovely.. sweet voice as you were wrapping..loved poem!!!
Absolutely love your message at the end of the video. Thank you
You are amazing with all you are going through
Thank you for such wonderful ideas!💝🎄👍
Wow. Great wrapping ideas. Wish I hadn’t already wrapped my gifts. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas! And Merry Christmas to you and Jason. God bless you in the coming year as well!
Wow Leslie that was wonderful. What clever ideas! But I wish you would have looked at us in the end! After reading the poem which I loved! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄💕🙏✝️. Debbie💜👏👏👏
Soothing and so enjoyable. I love the tender, soft energy of this video. Please do these more often.
Merry Christmas to you and Jason and all the family you are helping my daughter so much right now as her hubby has early onset Alzheimer’s he is 60yrs
Great gift wrapping inspiration! On my trip to Walmart yesterday I bought tulle in the ribbon section. I’ve used it on several gifts already and it has made such a difference! Ladies especially love to receive a beautifully wrapped gift and these look so beautiful! Thank you! I appreciated the “calm voice” but I missed your sweet cheerful voice because thats YOU! Sweet & cheerful. 💞
Merry Christmas to you & your family!
There are few ASMR I am able to enjoy, and I found you wonderful & calming-well done! Sending you & Jason ❤️
What a beautiful, peaceful video, Leslie. I loved all your suggestions for making simple yet elegantly wrapped packages, and the handmade bag was especially clever. I'm going to go back and re-listen to your closing words, or else see if there's a transcript. I pray that the rest of the Christmas season is so special, that Jason will enjoy it, and that it will be very very peaceful. Continuing to pray for both of you when I pray for my extended family member and his wife/caregiver, almost daily. ♥
Love that you're hittin' us with a little bit of ASMR! Also love the wine bottle/chocolate. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, and always praying for you and your family.
Leslie, very cute ideas to wrap my last-minute presents and we all have them. I kind of like the idea of you speaking so calmly while wrapping these presents. I have to admit, I like your energy and bubbly personality, but I think in this video, it is a perfect way to end my evening. Love to you and hubby and Merry Christmas! Best wishes and prayers that your new year will be peaceful and healthy.
Love how soothing this video is and beautiful wrapping! Praying for you guys everyday but especially this holiday season.
Love the soft spoken videos !!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your wrapping suggestions and the calmness of your voice!
Loved all the different gift wrap ideas but my favorite thing is the poem at the end! Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family!!
Amen!!❤💚
So beautiful! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and Jason🎄🙏🎄
Such wonderful wrapping ideas; thank you. May you and your family feel the joy of a Christ-filled Christmas.
Leslie, I do something similar. I have 3 boys and their gifts are all wrapped in their favorite color.... red, green, and blue. Thank you for the great ideas. I love the poem at the end!!!!! ❤️🧑🎄🎄
Love it! When my 3 kids were young they are adults now I wrapped the same gifts in same paper. For instance, if they got jeans, each pair would have same paper then if it was a book all the same again but different paper and so on. That way I knew to give them it to open at the same time. It also helped me see I had the same number and equal gifts for each. Now I wrap the adult in brown with bow like yours and the grandkids in the traditional Christmas paper. I enjoy your videos all the best!
Great wrapping ideas, thank you! And I loved the poem at the end. I grew up in MO and went to Branson and Silver Dollar City many times. Brings back wonderful childhood memories!🤗
As our grandchildren have gotten older, now 16 and 17, we wrap some of their gifts very uniquely. This year our grandson has to use a screwdriver to remove the wrapped plywood that encloses his gift. Our granddaughter has a gift enclosed in an old paint can that has been siliconed close then wrapped. We only buy a couple of gifts for our grandchildren and the remainder of the money is invested each year for their future education. This makes our Christmas unwrapping very funny. We do this with their birthday gifts too. Now it is expected that Nana and Papa will have some kind of gagged wrapped gift. It is all about making memories.❤❤ Merry Christmas to you and Jason. I hope you have wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family.🎅🎄🎅🎄❤️
Thank you Leslie for all the neat wrapping ideas. They were all so pretty. Really enjoyed the poem at the end. Merry Christmas to you and Jason and the family.
👍👍 the poem was beautiful
Great asmr video. I'm addicted to asmr & your getting your own saved folder. Wonderful sounds.
Honestly my thoughts were after I worked with memory care that it was you respecting Jason. I learned my resident's didn't like loud or excited sounds. However you gave me wonderful ideas on wrapping...thank you
Leslie, this was such a great video. I love to wrap and make different bows, but I learned a few from you today- thank you❣️ this was owesome. The last part was touching. Have a Merry Christmas❤
Thank you! those were great ideas! I missed seeing your pretty face. The last one was a winner. And also for the verse! it was true, Jesus is right there. Merry Christmas to your whole family! Joyce
I loved the soft spoken video. So calming ❤️ I really enjoyed the wrapping tips. Never too old to learn something new. Have a wonderful Christmas Leslie with your beautiful family ❤️
Aww Leslie, I love this video! Doing some Christmas crafting while I hang out with you ❤️ Wish I could hang out with you in person, would LOVE to have you as a neighbor! Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and Jason 🎄🙏
I loved the wrapping ideas but that sweet poem at the end was magic. Merry Christmas! 🎄🤍⭐️
You gave me the tingles! you're a natural at ASMR.
I love all the wrapping ideas especially the candle bag. 🎄✝☃
Thank you so much!! 😊
Super pretty! 3 years ago, I sewed a bunch of draw string gift bags from a few different Christmas flannel prints. Wrapping is so much quicker now, and we don’t have garbage bags full of wrapping paper on Christmas morning.
I really enjoyed this I found it really relaxing and we all need to feel relaxed in this crazy world, thank you for doing this and Merry Christmas to you, Jason and the family 🌲🤶
Leslie, just amazing as always. I only wish some of these had been a few days ago, because I have already wrapped and celebrated Christmas with my family. Will use the ideas for my husbands side of the family, because those gifts have not been wrapped yet. My family gets together the week before Christmas (so this past weekend) at my Moms, that way any that have small children, or that have other families to visit do not have to rush around to make all the trips necessary & my Mom gets our undivided attention. We also decorate cookies on Saturday and serve them at church the next day. We affectionately call them "The Ugly Christmas Cookies" because we are not professionals, and just want to have fun. The church members all seem to enjoy and look forward to this every year. Wishing you & Jason a very Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful, beautiful video! Calming, relaxing, instructive and sweet and fun!This is just you! All the qualities and traits you posess, you've put into this video.

I loved your ASMR!! /abd beautiful wrapping ideas, thank you so much!! I've always wanted to try that "make your own bag" wrap.
I love you to pieces...Leslie! I'm really surprised you were able to keep up the soft voice for so long.... praying blessings for you and your beautiful family. I love Jason and just think the world of him also!!!
Beautiful gift wrapping tips! Your voice was so calm and peaceful that it was lulling me to sleep. The most lovely part of your video, besides you, was your closing it out with the most fitting of poems! 😍🙏🎄
This Christmas has been extra busy, watching this was so calming that I could feel the tension leaving my mind and body. Would love more videos like this. The gift wrapping is beautiful! God bless, Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
Thanks for the wrapping ideas. I have not started yet....better get moving. LOL
I really enjoyed watching your gift-wrapping ideas while you told stories of your childhood. It made for such a good video, thank you and blessings.
You are really good at this! ♥ Merry Christmas! 🇧🇻
I liked this video and the soft spoken voice
Great job wrapping!!! Oh.....And do you!!! 🤷🏻💕
So many good ideas!
I love your beautiful wrapping ideas. They are gorgeous and yet very easy. So glad I watched this before I wrapped presents this year!
Wish I saw this before I wrapped. Love the tulle bows.
What great ideas Leslie. 😊 They are all so unique! And I loved all your stories! Thank you so much for sharing with us all! Merry Christmas to you, Jason and your entire family ❤️🙏
What beautiful gift wrapping ideas! Love them! I do love the soft, soothing voice but I think you have a soothing voice anyway! Merry Christmas!🎄
Well you got 12 thousand views.. I would say people enjoyed it !! ❤️👍
I have to be honest…when the video started I thought “oh bless her heart, she has a sore throat.”😂
But loved hearing your sweet, whispering and wish all your family a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.🎄🙏🏻❤️
And, I too, enjoyed incredibly blessed Christmas celebrations in my childhood. So thankful for those memories. My amazing mother (who I lost in October😢) was an amazing hostess to 30-40 relatives at our home each year. We lived on a creek in one of the older neighborhoods in my city. It was such fun to run around all bundled up with my cousins while mom finished the Turkey and fixings. Especially loved the snowy years! Walking on the icy creek and throwing snowballs, sledding, etc.
This was in the 60’s!! Miss those days…but such fun to remember.☺️⛄️🎄🎅🏻
God bless you!❤
Beautiful job as always Leslie... Wishing you & your family a very Merry CHRISTmas... Hugs from S.E. Tennessee
Love this style video! You did great! Merry Christmas
Shhhh in my low voice I feel like I should be whispering! Love the wrapping tips. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your heart and family with us !
Yes! Got to keep it soft, calm and quiet! lol
I like to use pretty ribbon on my gifts but what made my smile when you asked the question about gifts wrapping. Is that in my household EVERYONE knows that we don’t throughout the ribbon they have to give it back to use next year.
I’m so excited to do the home made bag! I bought several candles 🕯️ this yr ❤
Leslie I loved the wrapping ideas, thank you. If you have time can write down the poem, it brought tears to my eyes. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night ❤
I'll post it over on Instagram and Facebook! Thank you!
What a great video and Beautiful saying at the end. Made me a bit teary eyed. Great christmas bag idea too Leslie. 😢🎅🌲🎄🎀
I am thrilled I came across your video, def gives me the ASMR vibe.
Your wrapping is beautiful but your Christmas story I absolutely Love.
I am going to be 60 years old in April & til this day I remember seeing Santa flying over my house in the sled with the reindeers 🤷♀️!! Crazy I know , I am sure it was a child’s crazy
Imagination but it’s memory, I love
