When I was putting myself through college with two littles, we always went and got one name for both of my kids and they used 30$ that I would have spent on them to buy for an angel. It taught them a lot considering we didn't have much at that time, but it was fun and heart-warming
Oh Jessica, you really touched my heart with this video. Made both my husband and I cry. Children are such a blessing and I can't imagine a child without a Christmas. Last year we adopted a family and purchased all their gifts and dinner. This year I will be doing exactly what you did. Absolutely love that idea. I also like to give gift cards so older/teenager will get a treat too. Merry Christmas and May God Bless your Family. ❤❤❤
I miss the Barbie years, my baby girl is 31 years old 😊❤, you have such a big heart, thank you for sharing your history and paying it forward 💕🥰 love from Brisbane, Australia, best wishes Coryn
This makes my heart happy. I remember when I was child an didn't get but 1 present from a family member. I do the same thing for a child. God bless you an your family!!
This video surely outlines the meaning of Christmas and your giving heart! That little girl will be elated with your selections! A stroll through Walmart makes the season come alive! Until our next visit... keep wearing your cap. Adorable! ❤ Momma G
First off, you did a really nice gesture being there to help Cody, Laurie, and Rowan. We are a family of three living off SS and my NYS retirement. But we always get 2 or 3 angels from our church Christmas tree for the needy. We also make a larger than normal contribution to our Christmas church parish collection envelope. My son who’s 23 helps pick the angel gifts also. Till tomorrow.
God Bless you for giving back because you know what it's like. We always do at least 2 per Christmas, one boy & one girl. Because you never know when it could be you in need.
Our family buys for an Angel Tree 6 year old little girl in honor of my granddaughter that was killed. We get so blessed doing this. Hello from Arkansas, USA.
Love the songs! Sweet outing with Kodie! I melted when you started getting gifts for the store Christmas tree, that little girl will be so surprised. Trees in the windows look beautiful all lit up! ❤❤❤❤
Oh Jessica and Cody , I m enjoying the walmart Y ou reminded me of myself and my daughter A s she was going up we always picked a child from the tree As my daughter got older, we each chose a child little one and an older child It's good to give We do it to this day ❤
Sending a Christmas card from New Zealand, hope it gets there on time, love your vlogs with your cooking and homestead life in general. I do Christmas shoebox which is a charity that organises gifts for children whose family cannot afford, they send you an age and whether girl or boy , you fill up the box with things that are age appropriate, I have a 14year old girl this year, you have such a kind heart….best wishes from Ruth in Auckland, New Zealand……
Hi Jessica, Kodi and sweet family! I love the Angel tree. I used to take my kids and let them pick out a child from the Angel tree. I just can’t imagine a child not getting Christmas presents on Christmas morning. Our local fire department helps with presents for Christmas for children. You can drop off any presents at any fire station. Is that an engagement ring on Kodi’s finger, if so congratulations 🎉 I hope you and your precious family have a very blessed night and week! ❤️🙏
I call the robot Hazel 😂 we have them at Sam’s Club ! I do the police Christmas drive every year and the Volunteer ‘s of America . Thank you for sharing! 🎄🛒🎄
Hello Cody and Jessica. Have fun shopping together. I love seeing your smiling faces. I love this shopping haul with you both. I wish we had a Walmart like that. Our Walmart is not a real Walmart we get all the leftovers so I’m so jealous to see what you have. Thank you both for taking us on your shopping trip. Love you both. Take care from Cape Cod🇺🇸❤️❤️🎄
Merry Vlogmas Jessica and family. I hope that your family has a wonderful Christmas season, that includes you as well. This Christmas is going to be hard as my meds arent working right, but that is my problem to deal with, trying to find the right combination of antidepressants. Such is the life of an older woman. Thank you for another wonderful video. May God send you many blessings and happiness.
It is ways easier to do these from your home computer/tablet. I’ve tried helping my sister with these for years. She finally told her hubby it was his job! Lol
Great video, I love seeing you two shopping together ❤ I was wondering if you’ve ever met Lauren Hamm (This Alaskan Life) she’s from Eagle River about 30 minutes away from Wasilla Alaska. 🧑🎄🎄⛪️
Haha those smelly candles are horrible. My daughter and I did the smelling of them a few weeks ago and I’m pretty sure I had the same face as you. The dill pickle and pizza one smelled like the scratch and smell tickets we had at school back in the day lol
I’m a retired 911 dispatcher Jessica and I can tell you that nothing fires up a group of crusty cops, fire fighters and dispatchers as much as shopping for a family in need for Christmas. As much as you felt blessed, it meant even more to them. ❤️
The tags on the angel tree are actually individual kids. They are numbered in the system and they know which kid it is specific to so the descriptions may be the same but that is because those children and parents specified the same things as other children and parents did. They are individual though.
A suggestion for if you do this little gifting with your subscribers next year. Why not, if you know a local wood worker or ceramics potter have them make handmade ornaments with your channel’s logo and the year so those who receive these gifts will be able to put them on their own Christmas trees to enjoy year to year. By doing this you’ll also be able to bring attention to a small business in your area.
Film it you and your family putting up the Christmas tree and make precious memories with your beautiful family do a UA-cam channel❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The little girl that receives you gift will be so happy x❤🇮🇪

What a wonderful lesson to teach your children! And it’s amazing how happy a child is to give to others. You are amazing!
That little girl will be so happy with her gifts. Im 60 & i would be happy with it. Lol!
THATS CALLED A GIFT EXCHANGE
It was very kind of you to open your home to Cody and Laurie and Rowan while he had surgery. I’m sure they appreciated it very much.
Oh so happy todo it
What a lovely gesture, it's always nice to help others especially during the holiday season ❤

I love your giving heart. Some little girl will wake up Christmas morning very happy. I’m loving Vlogmas this year.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for keeping her memory alive through giving.
I think you have inspired me. We have no one to buy for, and I miss the joy of giving 😇. (I don’t count the trays of Christmas cookies)

The Angel Tree is such a great program! Yes she is
I always get my wrapping paper from Costco. The paper is thick and reversible and it lasts FOREVER!
I call the robot Hazel 😂 we have them at Sam’s Club ! I do the police Christmas drive every year and the Volunteer ‘s of America . Thank you for sharing! 🎄🛒🎄
Our Wal-Mart has them. I call them Rosie like the Jetsons lol
@ that’s a good one !
It honestly scared me so bad!
Jessica you are so funny 😂 it always feels like it’s following me. 🥺

I love Christmas tree smelling candels
It is ways easier to do these from your home computer/tablet. I’ve tried helping my sister with these for years. She finally told her hubby it was his job! Lol
They have those robot wheelchairs in Seattle airport. So weird to see it empty cruising around. Lol
Great video, I love seeing you two shopping together ❤ I was wondering if you’ve ever met Lauren Hamm (This Alaskan Life) she’s from Eagle River about 30 minutes away from Wasilla Alaska. 🧑🎄🎄⛪️
What did that one smell like? Both of your reactions were priceless. Kinda made me laugh. Lol.
So nasty like opening a bag of hot chips and sticking my whole face in it
I have a big KitchenAid mixer, and I have needed a handheld mixer so many times!!
I totally agree
❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Loving the Christmas music you have been playing. Shazam isn’t fining it. Can you give some info? Merry Christmas to you and your family.
No idea it’s the music UA-cam lets us use I’ll try to link it
Canada post is on strike. So no mailing cards from here. 😔 Loved your shopping spree. 🎄
I know! So frustrating
Great vidio
I used to do several Angel Tree gifts each year, now they want such expensive things. It may be a Tulsa thing. Yours doesn't seem so bad
Age group I think. Young kids are not asking so much for big expensive gifts
❤🎄🎄
Hello Jessica how are you guys doing in a beautiful Alaska 🤩
Put it in her stocking stuffers, put it in her stocking stuffers do it for your kids❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ make precious memories with your beautiful family
Jessica have a beautiful night,be blessed.
Haha those smelly candles are horrible. My daughter and I did the smelling of them a few weeks ago and I’m pretty sure I had the same face as you. The dill pickle and pizza one smelled like the scratch and smell tickets we had at school back in the day lol

Merry Christmas from my family to your family
Merry Christmas to you too!
Ask everyone to put in a return address sticker if they have them….makes it easy for you to send card back! Especially if post office gets ripped
❤
Those robots are here in Kentucky at Sams club. They have a name even
❤Shalom Blessings to All from Mississauga Ontario Canada ❤
Shalom Blessings to you too

It is so rewarding to Shop for kids who otherwise may not have a Christmas gift!! God’s blessings to you & your family. 💜✝️🎄🕊️
Hi Jessica and kodie
Have everyone that sends you a card to enclose a return address label. That's how all the other ones do
