You man looked Gaynor, just man looked for the lights so don’t worry 🤭🤣thrilled you are here and love your vlogs. They are normal and so good as you say it how it is and how we all feel. Thank you so much 🎄
Don’t worry if you’re not feeling Christmassy this year. It will come back. Last year I did not do a single bit of decorating. This year I’m back to it with a gusto. Your vlog helped me get started
Blo..y love ya Gayna! No fancy pants, just normal stuff just figuring it out as you go, it will all look gorgeous in the end. Not into the mega hype of Christmas, here for the cosy stuff 🥰 love & Hugs, Suze. 🥰🎄xxx
Thank You Gayna for doing Vlogmas! I so look forward to visiting with you every day‼️ Hint: Use a “Magic Eraser” pad to get the marks off the wall. They work wonders on almost everything. 😊
You made me chuckle ... we got our decorations down from the loft last Thursday and I tried to get enthusiastic but I wasn't feeling it either, so I'm going to have another go on Monday, I know I'll get there in the end it just takes a while. I remember you made a lovely Christmas decoration a good few years ago with an old book. ❤ See you tomorrow.
I’m not feeling it yet either but I have a birthday soon - so perhaps after that! Hope Toby is OK. Always look forward to your vlogmas videos especially when you off to the chalet. Love WW xx
So happy to be invited round your house for vlogmas! And also, that you haven’t pre-decorated, it fits more with my mood today: not feeling it, but getting there!
We have strict demarcation at Christmas - my husband is in charge of the lights. We have hundreds (draped “tastefully” in the trees outside and in bottles etc inside) all old school except the ones that stay up all year. Thanks for doing Vlogmas Gayna and for keeping it real. Xx
My heart skipped a beat when I saw you were starting vlogmas!💃🏻😍🎉 It’s like another little advent calendar treat for me ☺️. Even though it’s December 2nd, I already feel like I’m late with everything Christmassy. I, too, have been bombarded with Christmas inspiration, and even though I’ve been interested in some of it, there comes a time when it’s just too much and it becomes overwhelming. Your decorating is looking very lovely and calming. ✨ I’m not sure if it was just the camera angle or what but, is one of your black candle holders slightly higher than the other one? 🤔 maybe that’s why one of the frames looked a bit wonky to you. 🤷🏻♀️ Anyway, I am very much looking forward to every forthcoming video 🥰
They probably are at different heights as I hung them where I had vintage ones previously and they didn’t have dead square matching hooky bits. So I think you are right!!! Xxx
Love fairy lights, I have some scattered around. Whilst you are Christmas decorating, I'm cleaning mold and vacuuming wool moths, sorting bits, chucking bits and rearranging bits in the study. Looking forward to your next vlog xx Edit to add: I wish I had a loft, the house would look less junky 😅
Hi Gayna, thanks for doing vlogmas for us ❤ can’t wait! Please can I ask where do you get your fairy lights from? I have bought and sent back numerous sets because they say warm white on them but they are stark bright white. Yours look perfect colour. Thank you
So my husband said to me ‘oh Gayna’s vlogmas starts today…I do like a good vlogmas!’😂 he has vicariously listened to your you tubes whilst I watch for ages ❤ Loving watching you decorate- we have to wait ‘til later in the month when we go away! 😮
Happy Vlogmas Gayna! I love fairy lights too and the room is coming along really nicely since the last vlog! I look forward to catching up with you and your family throughout December again! ❤
I decorated alone as well but it was actually lovely. I don't have that many decorations so it was very, very quick, too. I love fairy lights. I'll have to think of a way to incorporate them into the room after Christmas. Your swag of fairy lights has given me an idea. Hmmmmm........
Coucou Cuckoo, like you I am absolutely not feeling Christmassy but your vlog helps me getting there. Went to a French Christmas market. Lovely but not one thing there that was really made for Christmas. Only very yummy vin chaude! And after 2 of those I was completely feeling the Christmas vibe. 😂 I might even buy some twinkly lights to put on the house. :)
Oh my Christmas decorations are all old treasures from my childhood & over the years of being married . Oh the horrid cold virus 🦠 driving me mad the past 10 days . Oh my wedding dress would never moi as I was between a 8 & 10 & now 14/16 😢😢😢
Lovely jubbley to have a vlogmas from you. I went with your scheme of having all the gift shopping done early (by mid November), which is great, but now I am not motivated to decorate either. Got as far as clearing surfaces and bringing the (fake) tree indoors. I am with you on the twinkle lights, have made it my mission to find the perfect set. Got one set last year and I thought I was going to have to put a sign up warning people!!! Dreadful they were.
@ we’re going away for a few days to a beautiful little town in Rhode Island, USA. It’s a dog friendly hotel and town so we’re bringing our dog with us. Very romantic. 😂
Thank you for Vlogmas-making! It makes the knitting of gifts (and trying to finish all the wips!) go so much faster! Are your cyclamen still blooming from last December? They made a beautiful addition to your kitchen!
I get you about not feeling Christmassy. This year has been a tough one for us. I lost my beloved little sister suddenly in spring and my mum at the end of summer. My dad received a terminal diagnosis inbetween and we're now waiting on test results to confirm hubbies possible cancer diagnosis. It just seems weird, wrong....I don't even know the words tbh...to be 'celebrating' anything after all our loss. I can't even face bringing the decorations down because last time I saw them my world was so very different.
How my goodness me. You are dealing with A LOT and there’s no wonder you feel this way. It’s like the world has tipped over and nothing makes sense and all things feel arbitrary. I pray for good news for your husband. I am so very sorry, your poor smashed heart. Lots of love. Xxx
Oh goodness, what a terrible time you have all had - and having. We know about waiting for results of scans or test and although we don’t know each other I am sending big hugs to you and your family.
You man looked Gaynor, just man looked for the lights so don’t worry 🤭🤣thrilled you are here and love your vlogs. They are normal and so good as you say it how it is and how we all feel. Thank you so much 🎄
You are right! I did man looking! Or Boy Looking as we call it here 😆
Don’t worry if you’re not feeling Christmassy this year. It will come back. Last year I did not do a single bit of decorating. This year I’m back to it with a gusto. Your vlog helped me get started
Wooooohooooo! Gayna’s doing vlogmas! Thank you 😘
Blo..y love ya Gayna! No fancy pants, just normal stuff just figuring it out as you go, it will all look gorgeous in the end. Not into the mega hype of Christmas, here for the cosy stuff 🥰 love & Hugs, Suze. 🥰🎄xxx
Yeah, it’ll all get done and if it doesn’t I have done enough already so I should just calm down! 🤣
Love that you are vlogging for Vlogmas!
Hooray for Vlogmas. I need to get my decs up, but apart from the front door wreath im probably going to have to wait until next weekend 😕
I’d rather wait till mid December to decorate but with going away I had to get it done. There’s no rush, take your time.
Happy Advent Poggyyyyyyyyy - love it when you chat!!! Gorgeous to see you too -😁 Gloriousness that is Gayna!!
She loves to tell me what’s on her mind, and often it’s swear words. X
😘 And you're off to a lovely start! Having a hard time getting the holiday feeling myself! You've helped! Thanks Dear Gayna ❣️ Happy Vlogmas! Terry 😊
I really do think we do Christmas far too early these days!
@GaynaJane I totally agree 👍
So grateful to you for generously creating vlogmas for us! ❤
You are so welcome!
I love those fairy lights in the snug 😍 it’s so cosy ❤✨🌲
Your decorations are looking so nice, Gayna. Thanks for doing vlogmas this year. I always enjoy it!
You are so welcome xxx
Thank You Gayna for doing Vlogmas! I so look forward to visiting with you every day‼️
Hint: Use a “Magic Eraser” pad to get the marks off the wall. They work wonders on almost everything. 😊
Apparently soft white bread works for dirt scuff marks but I think a magic eraser is needed for this job. X
You made me chuckle ... we got our decorations down from the loft last Thursday and I tried to get enthusiastic but I wasn't feeling it either, so I'm going to have another go on Monday, I know I'll get there in the end it just takes a while.
I remember you made a lovely Christmas decoration a good few years ago with an old book. ❤ See you tomorrow.
I’ve got the book out so that’s a start! I’m going to do 15 minutes a day till it’s done or I get swept up in the task. X
I’m not feeling it yet either but I have a birthday soon - so perhaps after that! Hope Toby is OK. Always look forward to your vlogmas videos especially when you off to the chalet. Love WW xx
I think it’s too soon and that’s why I’m not feeling it. I’d rather do it a couple of weeks ahead of Christmas. Happy upcoming birthday!!!
So happy to be invited round your house for vlogmas! And also, that you haven’t pre-decorated, it fits more with my mood today: not feeling it, but getting there!
Same. Just not feeling it this year! We can do it though!!!!
Christmas decorations are like old friends aren't they, great start xx
So true!
We have strict demarcation at Christmas - my husband is in charge of the lights. We have hundreds (draped “tastefully” in the trees outside and in bottles etc inside) all old school except the ones that stay up all year. Thanks for doing Vlogmas Gayna and for keeping it real. Xx
Oh it sounds delightful!

But lifts become a problem of postponed decisions 🫣 I have mild to clean too. X

I have these ones in my tree, hope you like them too

He didn’t! Wow, that’s a compliment. 🥳
Happy Vlogmas Gayna! I love fairy lights too and the room is coming along really nicely since the last vlog! I look forward to catching up with you and your family throughout December again! ❤
Love seeing you decorate the house.
We still haven’t done the tree, I ran out of time yesterday 😆

Fairy lights aren’t just for Christmas!
Thanks so much for sharing ❤🎄🍒
I love fairy lights!! All looks beautiful ❤🎄

Maybe vin chaude is the answer!! X
@@GaynaJane Try it. It surely helped me to get into the Christmas spirit. 😂Just bougt all the ingredients to make it at home. 😁
I’m not feeling it yet either despite snow on the ground. I love your paper stars I might try that idea.
Yay, i love vlogmas, we get extra Gayna time ❤xx
Hooray🎉 Happy First Day of Vlogmas Gayna!!! 🎄 Thank you for taking us along on All your Christmas adventures! 😉. Love your twinkle lights!
Gayna, So happy you’re doing vlogmas again. I look forward to them every year! 🎄 ❤
Looking forward to your vlogmas Gayna. 🎉🎉🎉
Oh my Christmas decorations are all old treasures from my childhood & over the years of being married . Oh the horrid cold virus 🦠 driving me mad the past 10 days . Oh my wedding dress would never moi as I was between a 8 & 10 & now 14/16 😢😢😢
Happy first day of vlogmas, exciting times!🥳🎄👏👏👏
I’ve been checking UA-cam all day waiting for you to post.
You never have!!! That’s made my year 🥰🥰🥰
It’s all coming together nicely. Lovely cheerful lights twinkling away. 🎄
Thank you! 🤗
Yay 💖 👏 😄 I like the lights 😊❤
Happy Vlogmas!
And same to you, darling! X
Ahh I was so happy to see your lovely face pop up when I opened UA-cam 😊 x
Awww you are sweet!

Fairy lights are tricky things!
Happy Anniversary on December 29th! ❤I remembered yours is the same as ours. It’s our 40th this year.
Are you doing anything special? We had grand plans…but did organise anything and now we are swamped and tired of the idea 🥴
@ we’re going away for a few days to a beautiful little town in Rhode Island, USA. It’s a dog friendly hotel and town so we’re bringing our dog with us.
Very romantic. 😂
Did you get all your present shopping done in November as you wanted to? xxx
I got most of it done and it doesn’t matter if I don’t get the bits I have subsequently thought of. Thank goodness!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Maybe you’re not feeling it as you’ve been under the weather. 😊
I think so too!
Aprons are for when you don’t have pockets 😄
So silly but I didn’t want feel domestically dowdy. I’m a nincompoop. Xxx
VLOGMAS!!!!!
Safety is the prime factor…. 😝
I ♥your lights. I've been meaning to ask you if you ever watch Arne and Carlos, they are knitters too.
I do! I have big binge watch sessions every now and again. X
🎄🎄🎄😺😺😺
❤❤❤
Thank you for Vlogmas-making! It makes the knitting of gifts (and trying to finish all the wips!) go so much faster! Are your cyclamen still blooming from last December? They made a beautiful addition to your kitchen!
They were doing so well up until about a week ago. I think they have run out of steam now. X
