Oh my god. Parker is so sweet! My heart burst when he gave Jacob the box of wood so they could both work on something together. Christopher and Jess, you are such wonderful parents! ❤️
In a world full of negativity, your family is a constant reminder that good still exists. Your children are kind, polite, caring, and full of gratitude. And you are supportive of your kids’ individuality, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. Thank you for doing parenting right. We need more people like the Ballingers in this world. You are such a positive influence on me as a new mom of a one-year-old little girl. Merry Christmas!
the only family vlog channel that i enjoy, or can even stand to watch- bc how nice everyone’s is. like no ones doing fake pranks or 5 yr olds being bratty for the camera- they’re like genuinely nice 😭❤️ therefore fun to watch! lol
Ok, I'm only 25 minutes in and I've already cried. Chris and Jessica, your children are so incredibly sweet. You guys have done an incredible job raising them. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Coleen with Parker's painting made my heart smile oh my goodness she is so sweet to the kids and I can't wait to watch her be like this with Flynn when he's older!
Ok... 51 seconds into the vlog and your kids are helping the baby down the stairs! 😩 Seriously the best kids ever. I probably would have pushed my siblings out of the way when I was that age 😂 Ok.. resume video
I literally rewound the part where Duncan threw the ball and it hit Chris' head and then Duncan walks off and goes "Boom Boom," and I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. I love your videos.
Courtney Michelle King 🤴🏼 has to work the season for us is a good year for me to come back from my next season and get a new next year to the end of this season and I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Courtney Michelle King 👑 is a good day to get the girls to go over the day and get a couple of hours of o to the next day to go to my parents and go get a ride to work the day you go get your hair was a Christmas Day here is a Christmas and a little is the season for you guys you to go to and you get a little next time hope eurt
I love how you did everyone’s picture on gifts do everyone could participate in giving! Genius! You are raising the most selfless children. Truly beautiful! Jessica, congrats on your new sewing machine! I love to sew! I just upgraded to a fancier machine a couple years ago. Have fun with it. There’s a cool book for kids sewing that helps kids learn sewing techniques. I’ll look when I’m at home and tell you the name. I taught sewing to young people at church for years. Great vlog! Enjoyed seeing your Christmas, and all the vlogmass videos!
I was thinking the same thing=) That was one of the most thoughtful gifts ever, and he was so proud that he made it for him and wrapped it and everything=) You guys are raising these 4 right!

I have been watching RU-vid for years, daily if I can, and I have never left a comment, I purposely try not to. However, today I couldn't resist after watching this!! Ionly found the Ballingers very recently, along with their aunties' channels. These people truly make me happy, by just being who they are. What humble,kind and intelligent children. I seriously truly believe that these children are going to change the world some day. They have learnt something very young; to demonstrate true love. I noticed they love games, and basically anything that involves being together- which is very comforting. I imagine you have to sacrifice a lot to be a popular RU-vid channel, and for alot of people out there it's our only way of experiencing family life-so thank you Ballingers for all you sacrifice to keep people like me smiling. As long as you are always yourselves, you will make a difference. Happy New Year, love from Chloe (23) in Northern Ireland.
I agree with every word...we love the whole family here in my home 💓 Merry Christmas and have a very safe and peaceful but most importantly a very happy New year

I know! Too cute! Then he was like I want in on this hug too and then they all willingly hugged without being prompted. Truly polite, kind and all kinds of amazing kiddos! They make me aspire to be an even better mom! They are #momgoals!
Missy Lewis The surgeon didn’t mess up. Parker’s enlarged tonsils made his voice raspy, so there was a change when they were taken out. Hope this made sense!
Missy Lewis I had my tonsils out at 10 years old and I can tell you, the difference is insane when they’re that big, they’ve been blocking his throat and altering the sound that comes out of his mouth when he speaks. Removing his tonsils can’t damage his actual ‘voice’ in any way, the vocal chords are way deep down in the throat. He’ll be just fine, Jacob sounded the same when he was small ☺️
I am in love with how your family accepts the different likes and personalities. It makes me so happy, I've watched these multiple times. Beautiful parenting, an example this world could learn from. I adore all of the kids, but Parker takes my heart.
I’m amazed every vlog by this family. I love Jessica’s concept of putting pictures so everyone can know what giving feels like. And Parker being excited about a car seat? I love it!
This comment is old and you probably wont see this, but a couple years ago, (I'm technically a teen btw) my parents said we had to get eachother gifts, and he'd shop for me with my mom and I with my dad and we'd pick our gift for eachother. I'm always filled with joy opening my gifts from him.
"Choose your favorite child!" "okay i choose... wait did you just say 'choose your favorite child'?" 😂😂 Love you guys and so glad you do vlogmas every year!!! Christams wouldnt be the same without ballinger family vlogmas!!!! (see what i did there w the christams? 😝😜)
Christopher's little compliments to Jess literally make me liveeee!! They're so cute omg! 😍😍😂 "Oh that's a pretty peice of trash, I'm gonna keep that," 😂😂❤❤❤
i want to have that special bond between the kids with my siblings 💗 i have never seen such close siblings before. the love they have is so strong omg. its christmas christmas, its christmas christmas and it's time to celebrate!! christmas!!
It’s 100 due to Bailey...she’s literally so sweet to her little brothers. A lot of girls who have younger brothers just yell at them and get annoyed by them
I watched this whole thing and I have to say, Bailey is one of the sweetest most gracious and grateful little girls ever. She’s such a joy to watch and I love that she isn’t trying to “grow up” so fast. And I LIVE for Parker. I love that he is so expressive and he doesn’t live by gender norms. He is his own person! I like the variety of all his gifts. Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us!
This is the most precious thing ever. The fact that the kids get excited over everything and are just so thankful for it all really warms my heart. They're definitely being raised right.
The amount of love and positivity in this family warms my heart so much. These kids are being raised by the most incredible parents, they're growing up to be the most loving people ever.
@@brandirena1631 Get a life. To each is their own. Stop acting like your one comment is going to change something your uncomfortable with. The world is going to move on with or without you.
@@justheretocomment9869 @Jordannewkirk Since they refer to him as a he (because you know they wouldn't mind to use whatever pronouns he would prefer) I don't think they are talking to him about labels right now so Parker is just Parker. Born a boy and just living life. If he chooses different later in life that's his prerogative. Definitely not a rude question though, and one day he will make that decision. Just my hypothesis, I don't know them personally so I don't know how they'd react to the question
Seriously! I love them but I was like another pair?!? I love how excited they got over ornaments, car seats, a broom, wood, books, and all those pajamas! Truly grateful children. It’s also teaching them to be very thoughtful and resourceful, caring, giving and Practical and very appreciative children. All that all together, raises such good character in their children that not one of those toys could ever pay for and what they’re teaching even if that spent $1 million dollars on Christmas. I am truly humbled and blessed. I feel like they feel the “joy” and the real reason for the season! Love them! #momgoals
Duncan opening presents at the beginning, versus the end. Champ!! Bailey and Jacob owning "40". The way Parker's face lit up when he opened the microphone ornament. The presents they each got each other - precious!
The candle melt thing jess got at around the 10 minute mark if you fill it up with water about half way and put in some essential oil drops it will fill the room up with the best smells. I always use mine with lavender when i cant sleep :)) Merry Christmas from Australia
Usually in every big family, there's one kid that misbehaves or is rude or disrespectful, but every member of the ballinger family is sweet and kind and so polite. Please, have a ton more kids because the world needs more people like you guys!
They exploit their children for money, the world doesn’t need “them” because there are a bunch of them out there. Don’t praise a family that you don’t even know, they might not even be polite off camera
@@itzydeservesmorerecognitio9826 I think you just need therapy so you can stop turning positive things into negatives, must be a horrible way to live xx
even after watching them for years I think i’ll never get over the fact at how sweet and well raised all those children . what an amazing job you did chris and jess !! love this family
I’m a new comer to your family. I have absolutely enjoyed watching you this Christmas season. I’ve just started following people on RU-vid and I’ve waited patiently daily to see your precious family. All of your children are amazing but Bailey stands out to me. She is so thoughtful and I love to hear her say “thank you so much” ❤️ Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
I'm being honest here. I nearly cried when Bailey opened the guitar. It brought back the memories of when I got my guitar for christmas when I was 16. It's a special thing, and I know she will cherish it.
Yesss! I saw the post yesterday that said you’d put this out at 7 and so I camped my sub box for the past 3 minutes!!! I love this video it’s like having Christmas again!
Elv ii ~ Amazing idea! I’d be interested in reading that for sure! Amazing parenting and extraordinarily special and quite marvelous kiddos! I especially love how they let their kids be who they are and love what they love and encourage it!
So lately I have been watching a lot of Colleen’s old videos with Jacob and Bailey! They are so cute! It is so cute to see how much they have changed over the years! I love your family! You guys are all so sweet! You guys always turn my frown up side down on a dreary day! Love you guys!
I’ve been loving this years vlogmas!! I love the way you’ve been bringing up your kids. I especially loved you teaching them to give to others on Christmas instead of focusing on just getting. From what I’ve seen on the vlogs and social media your kids seem so sweet, thoughtful and well mannered. I particularly feel a connection with Jacob, I feel like that’s how I was when I was younger. I know you don’t need to hear it from a 19 year old stranger but I just wanna say I think you’re both doing a great job on the parent life & inspire me to have a family as amazing as yours. Keep doing what makes you happy! Much love ❤️
It's Christmas Christmas, it's Christmas Christmas, it's Christmas Christmas and it's time to celebrate.... Christmas!!! What a lucky day.... Getting to watch an extra long Ballinger video. Love it!
I love how even though you guys have a lot of presents you are still taking a moment to appreciate and be grateful for that present and the person who gave it to you! 😘
I got the same sewing machine that you got, Jessica. I'm your age and just love watching your family's videos. Your whole family is wonderful and you and Chris have done so well raising these sweet kids. Bailey's reaction to her pink guitar is precious.
