The Most Festive Vlogmas Day 10 // Baby Meeting Santa 

I love that Louis is clearly enjoying himself. Like a kid himself, so sweet.

Neo is always so happy and curious. Such a cutie!

This was a sweet video. A baby's 1st Christmas is so special. The baby won't remember of course but its for mom and dad. Neo looked like a tiny elf in his little outfit ❤❤. The venue was amazing!!!

Neo, looked absolutely adorable in his elf outfit! How appropriate for his visit with Santa. How cute can one kid be?!

Guys, We really appreciate the effort you are putting in to giving us a daily video, particularly with a little one in tow. It cant be easy. My son will be 24 years old this new year eve and I really miss all the innocent childhood magic Christmases of the years gone by. So I'm living vicariously though your vlogmas.🎉

I live in the U.S.A. & was born here (1st generation) but my Mom is from Poland & we followed some Polish traditions for Christmas. 1st Tradition - We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (24th). When the 1st star appears in the night sky on Christmas Eve, dinner begins. We set an extra plate/table setting as a tradition so that if someone who is hungry/alone passes by the home, they're invited to join at extra table setting. Also, Christmas Eve dinner begins with breaking wafers with family & friends at the dinner table while sharing best wishes while breaking each other's wafers. Then you eat. Then you go to evening mass at Xhurch & when you get home from Christmas Eve mass, you open presents that night. Christmas Day (25th) is more of the chill/recovery day.

Don't recall hearing about the lost nappy bag, just the bag Louis left at a pub?

THey are the BEST videos, every day, pure, and loving, and thats what they should be, represent your days, unique, organic and gorgeous, keep being you, never change anything, I LOVE SO MUCH your VLOGMASS, its my favorite Advent Calendar!

In Poland we do not have stocking at all! But we get presents on 6th of December (as well as Christmas), it's called Santa's day (loosely translated), and you wake up to a more modest, simple present by your bed in the morning. It is is also the day during which we would have Secret Santa in school and exchange presents with classmates! Also, Christmas Eve is our main dinner day and often you get presents this evening instead of the Christmas morning, but this varies a lot.

I bought a special ornament for my kids each year. Something that told the story of something significant that year.

Stockings, without question have always been our favorite part. We would have wrapped gifts under the tree leading up to Christmas and empty stockings hanging. While we slept on Christmas Eve, Santa would come and leave our most desired gift, unwrapped, under the tree and would fill our stockings with unwrapped little gifts and treats. It was and continues to be magical.

10:30 I can't with neo's tongue! I died of cuteness overload. #1 baby in the internet for sure

Neo is such a great sport…….both my children screamed like crazy when we took them to see Santa……still have the pics 20 yrs on. 😂❤❤❤❤

My Mom passed away Monday and I’m heartbroken 💔 but your videos are making it a little easier, they make me smile and remind me of happy times. Thank you 😊

Neo's little tongue action😊his expressions are adorable

Christmas stockings are the best. The feel and rustle of a stocking on your bed as you wake up was (is) the best. In our family Father Christmas was the one who brought it, and it always had small gifts (fortune telling fish and that odd smelling balloon putty were a given!), sweets and a satsuma in the toe.We did write letters to Father Christmas, posted into the stove on Christmas eve wishing him and the reindeers a safe flight and to ask if he would prefer a beer or milk left out! This also meant we didn’t write a huge list of toys etc that we expected Father Christmas to be able to magically leave. We got a main present each from our folks, but no huge list of demands. I know lots of parents these days who let their kids write a huge list and then really struggle to afford to buy them.

I cant tell you is having more fun Louis or Neo ❤

I think your little family is SO sweet and I can't express enough how much more I prefer your vlogmas style of uploads where your personalities shine through. It gives us, the viewer, a feeling of communicating with old friends vs watching a polished program. Thank you for these little glimpses into your life. Love to all three of you

I love your intro so much! I laugh every time Louis opens the latest door of his advent calendar, but is so dissapointed.

I started rewatching GLEE. LOVE.

We opened all our presents Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day we woke up and Santa had filled our stockings with treats and presents and there was one Santa present under the tree.

We do a family advent. Starting Dec 1, each day is either a gift, quality time, or adventure. The gifts are usually “needs” (socks, toiletries, candy), quality time is movies, making cookies/candies, building gingerbread houses or getting ornaments, and adventures are going to see lights, parades, volunteering, the nutcracker ballet….it brings a little joy every day.

I am enjoying your Vlogmas so much I am going to miss seeing you every day after Christmas. Watching Neo is a delight, but I honestly think Louis is enjoying it more than Neo!

Best outfit yet!!! The "black shoes"and his pants.. he is the best elf ever

In the United States, my family's Christmas stocking tradition is that each child and pet gets a stocking hung over the fireplace mantle. These are up as part of the monthlong Christmas decorations. Then on Christmas morning, we find the stockings are full of little presents, like Louis said, laying on the ground in front of the fireplace (because it'd be dangerous to be hanging while full of presents). The advantage of putting stockings by the fireplace is that you as parents can better control when the kids discover them and already have your video camera out. Whereas if you leave stockings in the kids' rooms, I imagine that is harder to pull off as they get older and you'd miss the initial happy reaction when they wake up to discover Santa came.

that so awesome . our township has quadruple over last 33yrs but only thing we have is a Christmas tree lighting at the park

My parents worked shift work and I was an only child. So, my parents always got me a huge stocking filled with some Christmas cookies/candies, small little presents like Barbie clothes/accessories, art supplies, play makeup, and there was always some small piece of jewelry (i.e. when I was little it was stud earrings, then all different kinds of jewelry as I got older), and usually a puzzle. So my parents would put the stocking on my bed during the night whenever they set up for Santa by the tree. So when I woke up, I opened my stocking and played with it in my room until they woke up. Funny thing, there where many Christmas’s they woke me up, but, if I woke up first they were always up very quickly. Like even as a teen I think we were always up and opening presents by 7 or 730. Then when all opened a new pair of jammies, put them on, and headed to the tree to open the bigger Christmas gifts and see what Santa brought. It allowed both my parents to get some sleep but also both of them to be awake and having fun with me as I opened presents. It was perfect for our family and I carried on the tradition with my children (now grown and they loved it). In fact they both plan to do the same with their kids because even if they were only awake 10-15 minutes…opening their stockings together, they were anticipating what was under the tree and having fun.

This has become my nighttime routine and I’m enjoying it! Neo is so blessed to have parents like you all. Giving experiences no matter the age is great.

As a newer grandparent we make an ornament each year with a picture of us with our grandchild. That way as they grow up they have a photo of that year with us.

Thank you so much you're doing a great job, you make me smile so much, Louis being the sweetest Dad and Raya a lovely mummy, baby Neo is just too cute for words xxx

Louis is having a ball and is living his second childhood in these vlogs! ❤ So fun to watch. Look forward to each new vlog.

SO much love for you! What a wondeful family. ❤ I've followed you both for soooo many years. I remember how I was watching your videos every evening. Daydreaming about living like you both did. And now I am on the brink of hitting 10K subscribers!!! You still are such a HUGE inspiration for me. You're so full of love. And now being amazing parents to little Neo. Warms my heart. Hope we'll meet one day in UK, Poland (my home...) or anywhere else on this magnificent planet ✨️❤️

We love to walk around our town on Christmas Eve to see all the lights and decorations.

I love the little Santa place you went. That is special. I just loved pulling my family traditions in with my husband's to create our own for our kids. I know, of course, we had a baby's first Christmas ornament for each of our kids and now that they are older each year we go together and pick out an ornament together for that year. No matter what it is we write the year on the bottom and it's so much fun to put them on the tree and remember them all. I think Christmas is so special seeing it through our children's eyes.

Parenthood is a great series if you are in for an investment - all time favorite!!!

Neo is the cutest. Xmas is so much fun with lil ones. 😊😊

Neo dressed as a Christmas elf is *everything!!* Maybe for the stockings they could be Louis tradition but made in the folk art style of Romania for Raya. I love that you both are thinking about traditions now for Neo & future child(ren). As an older person, looking back on the few family traditions we had feels my heart with joy & reminds me of the deep love I feel for my family. You are developing Neo’s foundation at the perfect age. He is so well socialized for his age. He is accepting of new things with curiosity rather than fear. You two are doing parenthood right!!👊🏼

Neo is the cutest Santa’s little 🧝 ever 🥰!!

Neo was great meeting Father Christmas. When my eldest son met him he burst into tears.

Growing up in Denmark, we got our presents on the December 24. We just had to wait, all the way until after dinner and dessert. We did have a Christmas calendar where we got a little presentment every day. So for my kids I have done an advents kalender for them so they get a thing they need every weekend. Then for the 24. we made the tradition that they will get a present during the day, to take the edge off the waiting. We would eat early so the evening was not too long. We dance around the Christmas tree and sing, then we have presents, and then dessert. That is the traditions we made living outside Denmark with our kids. It is fun to take of old traditions and make new ones.

Our Christmas tradition is that every year, since birth, we have bought our children a special deooration for the tree. We have 3 kids 😊 and each year it's a different theme ( so each decoration is slightly different but a theme evident). Each has a large wooden box that I put their decorations inside with the idea that when they left home, they would take their decorations with them. The funny thing is, they are now adults and they still LOVE getting a new decoration each Christmas to place on our tree , plus now their partners also get a decoration 🙂 and they love it too. . I write or hand paint their name and year on the decoration also as over time you forget who got what LOL.

My stocking experience as a kid was just like Louis (except they were the normal stockings you see in the shops) and we would always wake up anywhere between 3 and 6am.

I think Neo is the cutest little elf I've ever seen! For his age he is totally enjoying it. Seems to be checking everything out...Merry Christmas Neo 🎅🎄🤶❤️

Your fireplace mantle looks amazing! Great decorating style!

I love hearing your Christmas traditions! We have always put cookies and milk out for Santa, but we also throw carrots out in the yard for the reindeer. Somehow they were gone in the morning!

Louis is having the time of his life! Thank you for sharing this with us. Neo is the cutest little elf 💙🎄 Merry Christmas, Raya, Louis, and Neo! 🎅

I have enjoyed all your days of Vlogmas but this is my favorite!!! Neo was so aware of everything around him, he is so darn cute. I love the way Britain and Europe celebrate Christmas, it is so different here in the states. Looking forward to the next segment. Merry Christmas to a beautiful family🎄🎄🎄

Our Christmas stockings were hung on the mantelpiece and on Christmas morning, the children were allowed to tiptoe into the living room and bring them back to bed. 'There were little presents, chocolate, a tangerine and always a book, which we would read until our parents were ready to get up. They had often been up late assembling our gifts, so they needed more sleep in the morning.

This was beyond adorable aww!! Also you haven't told us the story about losing the "nappy bag" in London! I would love to hear it please!! :)

This is the best seeing yall experience Christmas with the little one

Lessons in chemistry on Appletv is great!

This was absolutely delightful to watch. Thank you!

Neo is the most adorable little guy❤❤❤

A tradition with my kids is always buying them their own ornament every year, so we they are grown they have a start on Christmas ornaments of their own.

We did the opening of stockings on the parent's bed too. It was one of my dad's socks 😊 with a satsuma in the toe, and yes, feeling it at the bottom of the bed was special

Louis, Raya, it has been lovely watching both of you enjoying Neo so much. Louis, I’ve been following you for years, and each episode I burst into laughter seeing you exhausted and loving home time. It’s awesome to see both of you as parents. Neo is the best! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

Neo’s little elf outfit is quite possibly one of the cutest outfits I’ve ever seen! Loving the vlogs, guys.

It's only day 9 and I am addicted 😂 I am 100% sure I will miss the daily vlogs after Christmas...

Another tradition was being able to open one gift on Christmas Eve. And, in my family, the gifts under the tree were from each other. Santa would bring unwrapped gifts in individual piles for each of us. (3 of us kids) It was so fun to rush out to the tree for presents from Santa that weren't wrapped 😂 I'm excited to see which ones you decide on your for your family❤sending love!!

Neo absolutely adorable in the elf outfit! So much fun watching him look at all the Christmas things at the Christmas experience! Love the pictures with Father Christmas ❤❤❤❤

Love his little Elf outfit and Louie nice jumper too. Raya beautiful as always 💖

My 3 yr old grandson has been patiently waiting to see "The riverboat Santa". (The Santa display in our town is on a pontoon boat, anchored on the river running thru town) Finally Santa arrived............"But he's not talking".

We always have an Apple, orange, nuts and chocolate coins in the bottom of our stockings 😊

Traditions, definitely stockings and Christmas eve box. We always have a parent go into the living room first to see if Father Christmas had been xx I still have to do this, my children have both left home and are 26 and 28 😂😂😂😂

Our advent calendar is definitely a sweet tradition also stockings are a highlight.

I love watching you sweet family enjoying Christmas fun! Neo is absolutely precious! Your love for him and each other shines❤️❤️❤️ One of my favorite Christmas traditions for our children, was that before we would open presents, we would read the story of Jesus birth from the Book of Luke! They loved it and never minded waiting…and God bless you precious ones at Christmas and always!

So adorable! Love Neo’s elf outfit. It was so cute with his little tongue in the Narnia tent. Have a great Christmas little happy elf. ❤

Oh what beautiful memory to have with the baby! I love how Santa called him popit when you left seeing him!!

We always had a large orange and apple in our stocking.

Oh my Gosh -- I adore 'This Is Us " as well !

Love that you want to have lots of fun Christmas traditions for your family. ❤ Christmas was more simple when I was little than it is now. We each had a stocking which we could go in the living room (by the tree), get and take back to bed to see what little gifts were in them. It was so magical to see the tree, presents and what Santa brought in the quiet early morning! When I was older, I hid a tape recorder near the tree and turned it on when we were opening presents. It is so sweet to listen now to the little voices of children that have since grown up, and parents and grandparents who have since passed on. We always had a bowl of mixed nuts in the shell and a nutcracker on the table, and also a puzzle in progress. There was a lot of good conversation over those two things. Later on, we had a picnic basket full of Christmasy treats from around the world. At night when it was quiet, we would sit in the softly lit kitchen, have a cup of tea and something from the basket. Again, good conversation happened. Snowmen, carolers, ice skating, family visiting, so many fun things. ❤ Have a wonderful holiday!

Wow wonderful Xmas outings there , wish we had that, seeing Christmas through the eyes of children is amazing 🌲

I'm always looking forward to the daily video, it brings so much holiday joy to my day!

I can’t recall hearing about losing the nappy bag story !

I loved this video. Neo looked so dapper in his elf clothes. Everyone had an amazing time. Happy 1st Christmas Neo🎅

I am Australian - from Irish and British stock. Our Christmas is during summer down here... so this little addition to our Christmas stocking/pillowcase was not as special......... but back in the day in the Northern Hemisphere an ORANGE was a very important part of the stocking/pillowcase.

We always have an orange, m and ms and a toothbrush in our Christmas stocking. Plus on Christmas Eve the kids get a book and pajamas to open on Christmas Eve.

So so cute!

That elf outfit is adorable!

This was sooooo cool! Loved the glasses in the elf forest: thank you for sharing your adventures. Neo is just the cutest little elf.💙

We had the same tradition with the stockings as louis, such a great memory,,,,,

Neo's eyes just melt my heart. He is just so inquisitive, taking all the world in. ❤😊

Parks and Recreation & The Good Place are my two favorite fun easy shows to watch.

It is no wonder that you are getting burnt out! It is a lot of work filming and editing these videos every day! How much of this tradition will you renew next year? It is fun seeing you see Christmas through Neo's eyes, but next year it will be even better! Neo is the cutest elf ever! Have you seen or contacted Amiee and Craig of kinging it? They were at the London Christmas Market and have been excited about starting to renovate their first home!

Aww Neo signalling for milk time in the "inner elf" area 😊 ..he's so adorable!! ..Tradition.. Christmas eve box- pj's, hot choc marshmallow mix, sweet treat 'Christmas movie ticket'..reindeer food ..then we put out a plate with santas milk & cookies.

Good morning, Neolithic had the most beautifully expressive face

our stocking were for Xmas eve on the 24th. and open one tree gift. our choice. I think this might be great to get kids tosleep lol .

I'm absolutely loving these Christmas videos! I'm from Catalonia and we have quite a unique tradition. There's a magic log called Caga Tiò that knocks on your door looking for shelter. If you host it, feed it and look after it, it will poop presents on the 26th!

Both Ted Lasso and This Is Us are the best shows of all time! Love that you guys are into them! I would recommend a new show called Shrinking, there’s only one season out so far, but it’s a great mix of funny, heartwarming and a little emotional!

Loved rewatching this with the correction of the 'day' - I was confused so I can imagine y'all were too! I'm here for all the Vlogmas so rewatching is a great thing!

Glad he liked “Father Christmas “

Loving the vlogs! Please take a day off if you need it though! That's my advice on traditions, too, if something doesn't sound fun anymore let it go, you can always bring it back in the future if you miss it/it sounds fun again. ❤️💚

Neo looks so cute in the outfit. He is a big boy ,not scared of Santa. Love how dad has become a child himself with Neo Enjoy your Christmas.😅

Ooooo a GREAT follow up tv show that's also on Apple TV is Shrinking!! Jason Segel and Harrison Ford are in it. Only one season so far but it's funny yet also touches on some deep topics. Cannot recommend enough!

In my family we always include a few gifts, chocolate and when I was younger my Mom used to always add a few clementine oranges as well. 😊

Your mantel is beautiful and I love that the greenery came from your yard 😊

i was literally gonna say this is us!! best show ever

For the stockings I did exactly what you did louis but just lots of different bits and bobs in handmade stockings with chocolate in in and just not wrapped up just put in there

Christmas in Brazil is during summer so for me it always involved going to my great grandma’s beach house where we would have bbq’s and swimming in the pool! Now I live in england and christmas feels so different here

I'm from the NW in Oregon and we had the stocking had hanging on the fireplace and they were filled with mixed with useful things and candy. We would open them first before presents.
