Today's advent...creatively done. A coworker got bumped off tonight's schedule. She's stressing about Christmas. CNAs don't make much $$$$. I gave her my shift, so she can work and make a little money toward Christmas for her kids. Unconventional? Yup. But kind of letting someone ahead in line.
I love your videos and the Advent calendar. I shared it at school with my co-workers and it is going to become an advent challenge in all our grade 7 and 8 classes. That is 650 12 and 13 year olds planning and committing acts of kindness. Goodness knows they all need kindness. Thank you for the inspiration!💕
Christopher, without even realizing it today at the barn I let a man have my wheelbarrow and clean his stall first. I was in no hurry and he thanked me several times. Your kindness is recognized by the people important to you!!
Kindness is catching because you had an idea that was borne from a place of love and caring. This caring shows in the way you care for your home, your love for Stephen, and the attention to detail and planning in these Vlogmas videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us, one kind moment at a time. We are all blessed to be a part of this kindness journey. It is what Christmas is all about...the kindness of strangers letting a family stay in a stable when there was no room at the inn. The kindness of strangers who were drawn to a baby laying in the manger. For me your videos are perfect for the season. God bless you!
I am a Middle School Principal in a district that is really experience some challenges. Your good spirit and attitude cheers me up every time and gives me hope for the world. Keep up the good work.
I couldn’t believe when you said today’s kindness was to let someone in front of you because this morning I did just that. You inspire me to start the day in the right state of mind. Love your soul! ❤️
I shared the Advent of Kindness Calender before you presented it during Vlogmas! I didn't know you had created it! When I first read it I was so moved I shared immediately to spread the word. Love you!
Your dining room tree is my favorite. I looks perfect in there. Like everyone else, your Advent Calendar popped up on my FB page. I couldn’t believe it. You ALWAYS talk about “spreading kindness” and now you really are on a much grander scale. Thanks for sharing that Tree Mote. I had no idea it existed. That’s a game changer. Enjoy your bath and have a good night.💕
Whenever I’m feeling sad I just watch your vlogmas videos and its brings a smile to my face. I immediately thought your method of “eggs over easy” was brilliant.
I was very mindful this year of picking out who’s vlogmas’s I was going to watch. Everyone is light, fun, kind and warm! Feeling all of the good energy everyone is putting out!
My goodness!!!!! How have I missed finding you on You Tube for this long. I watching watching Jen's video this morning and she mentioned you. She was not kidding. You are just a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine. Thank you for making my day a little brighter. I absolutely love your outlook on your advent calendar and how popular it has become. In the end it doesn't really matter WHO put it it out there but THAT it is out there. I'm so looking forward to your daily Vlogmas posts and I will be binge watching your previous videos very soon I just know it. God Bless you & Merry Merry Christmas!!!!!
Again, commenting before I watch the entire video BUT I’ve seen the Advent of Kindness on a friend’s FB page and simply smiled to myself (and jumped to RU-vid to catch today’s vlog). You’re ushering in more kindness in this 🌎❤️. You are a blessing. 😘
It’s a shame that some people take your idea as their own, but you have 31k people that know that it was your sweet gift for the world. ♥️ and 👍 from 🇨🇦
I love the advent calendar of kindness... I don’t remember where I saw it first but when I watched your Vlogmas 1 earlier today it made sense! I’ve accepted the challenge🤗Thank you for being such a light in the world.
I am watching Vlogmas videos from other people and they really aren't giving me much to look at. They're not planned days. A few said they were just getting something for us to watch each day. Quite boring and a waste of my day. You are doing a super job. Thank you for thinking of us and others throughout your day. You are making a difference. 🤗
Ok that literally made me laugh so hard i spit my coffee!! When you were asking ‘Bubby can you believe... ‘ and Steven said , actually yes because he was in the back of the car eating chips... Lol. I love Stevens sense of humor 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this video. Your Christmas tree in the dining room reminds me of my mom. She passed away in 2017. Her favorite holidays were Thanksgiving and Christmas. She would have really enjoyed your videos. Blessings.
Thrilled to hear your kindness calendar is a big hit! This could be the start of something huge, actually. It should be in all the schools and work places etc. The dining room tree is so nice! The egg debacle was hysterical. I know it's no fun to clean egg, but it sure had me rolling! Awesome intro!
Someone posted your kindness calendar on a "hygge" page on Facebook! No words, just the calendar. Then someone in the comments section posted a link to your RU-vid channel! 😘 I love Vlogmas!!!! ❤️ 🎄 🎅🏼
Your spirit of spreading joy and kindness-even without credit-filled up my heart and is so inspiring ❤️❤️❤️ I am so excited for your vlogmas this year! In fact, I love your vlogmas so much I actually spent the end of Nov watching last years!
Love your videos! Your focus on kindness and your positive energy are a breath of fresh air. May all you put out into the world come back to you tenfold! ❤️
I'm so excited for your Vlogmas this year! I truly admire your attitude towards the success of your Advent of Kindness and I know that this humility and genuine love of people (not numbers) will come back to you positively in the end! Also I could watch you decorate new Christmas trees everyday 😂🎄
Awww, Christopher. You have such a big heart for others and yourself. U do deserve credit for it but, the act of kindness goes a long way and you inspired others to do that.😉😊😘
I think it was really cool how you didn’t get worked up about not getting the credit of the calendar - when you have a great attitude like that it’s going to come back to you and people are eventually going to know that it was you. Cheers!
Thank you for being such a positive person in this world. I have seen your kindness advent several times on Facebook and I just smile. Amazing, friend!!! Big hugs from Arkansas.
Hi Christopher!! I feel like the more kindness I give the more kindness comes my way always was kind of afraid of other people but in trying to be kinder than normal omg people are kind of just like me!!!
"On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me...........eggs. On a more serious note, I completely understand your wanting to be credited with this wonderful vlogmas idea. Look at it this way- because of YOU, people are being kinder to each other, people are experiencing kindness (perhaps for the first time in their lives, you never know.) YOU did that. No one can EVER take that away from you. IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.
Regarding yesterday's advent...I hugged my residents at work. Of course, this isn't new behavior. I always hug my residents. I also rounded Row Row Row Your Boat with a resident who has dementia, which again, is nothing new. :) Thanks for the advent.
Love your Vlogmas posts, love living vicariously through the Advent calendars, and love all your decor. Great look with the paper fans on the tree. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Christopher ! I wanted you you to know that you are a joy to watch . Although I am older I feel you are much wiser. Watching your videos has taught me a lot about kindness . I have always strived to be kind and giving but I found myself allowing the negativity and rudeness of others take control of my life .However you have shown me that kindness will always prevail . Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom,knowledge and kindness with each of us . Your advent calendar is brilliant and I would like to strive to share an act of kindness every day of the 2019 year . Thank you once again for sharing your beautiful heart with so many .Merry Christmas !
Hi Christopher, loved your video. I’m sorry you haven’t always been given credit for your kindness calendar, but I know there is a higher power that is giving you credit. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s vlogmas.
Christopher love day 2. I normally ignore the planners cuz I have MS and have a hard time writing but this one I think I can do so I'm going to purchase it bacon find it. Much love Merry Christmas
Thanks so much for your Spotify Christmas playlist - I am loving it. I live in Massachusetts and we are "massholes" when it comes to driving but I have never seen so many people stopping traffic to let someone out! Every day - it still amazes me.
Hey Christopher! I loved Vlogmas Day TWO and didn't expect anything less. How exciting about your Advent of Kindness making it all over the world!! That is truly Awesome!!! I hope the kindness will also spill over into other areas for example being kind to ALL ANIMALS!!! I love the Treemote Remote Christmas Light Switch. I am going to get myself one! I never knew they existed and I think they are an awesome idea! TFS I just love the tree in the dining room and I agree that the small trees on the buffet table clashed with the tree you put up today. Oh yes why didn't Steven offer to buy you lunch??? I love how you gave him a hard time about it!! LOL And the eggs fiasco was downright hysterical!
One of our law firms in the city of Huntsville Al gave my sons school money for the library to get each child a new book each month for the school year . The school has I believe about 600 kids from pre k to 6th.. That was very kind thing to do
Loving your thoughtful & heartfelt vlogmas Christmas videos!!! 🎄🎄🎄You are knocking it out of the ballpark!!! As you always say... “Kindness is free give it to everyone” Yours only multiplied!!! Blessings my Brother❤️💚❤️💚❤️
You are really a beautiful soul and we need more people like you to spread positivity, love, compassion, empathy and kindness amongst one another. Thank you!
Like always, I’m truly enjoying your vlogmas. It’s funny you were watching Kristina’s vlogmas. It’s because of Kristina mentioning your vlogmas last year or few years ago that I came upon your lovely videos. Also, love how you keep your home super clean and organized. I too cannot sit or lay down and relax if my house is not clean. Lastly, I’m also glad you removed the bottle brush trees from the dining room. It looks much better. It makes the pretty tree the focal point in the room.
I try to let others in front of me, and some are surprised. I know you created the kindness calendar and you should get credit for it. But you are, I think more about spreading kindness than getting credit. Thank you for showing all of us how its done, we can always use a reminder in this day and age.
Lol I’m laughing about the eggs hahaha! Bubbas sweater is so so cute...he’s such a love bug! Makes me miss my fella! Does Bubbas bother any of your trees or ornaments? I love your advent calendars...so fun! The little owl is the cutest .. can’t wait to see the scene finished. Just a tip..you should keep the wicks on your candles trimmed to a quarter inch 😉 🕯. Makes for cleaner burning and even burning. The dining room tree really is so pretty. I dig how you put the paper fans on the wall...so clever 😃 a planner that lays flat when opened! Wow...what a great invention...wish they were out years ago...would have alleviated some frustration lol. Would be nice if they made hard cover books that way too. Have a wonderful evening! 😍❤️
Christopher you are one of my favorite RU-vidrs and I am thoroughly enjoying your Vlogmas series for the second year in a row. You are an incredible inspiration. I think your kindness advent calendar Is spectacular and sets a new bar for the entire RU-vid community. While I love every single one of your other advent calendars and traditions, for me they are a bit overwhelming. Less is more sometimes, especially during the holidays when we are inundated with stuff. I love every single one of them advent calendars though lol!! you have the best taste😊 love you
Your daily kindness intentions are so easy- we could all do these simple things daily...it's the little things that make life fun and make us love others. You are my FAVE. I love your vlogs so so so much. BUBBAS VLOG......I'm gonna keep bugging you about it. :)
I ❤️ the bath pillow! The kindness advent calendar is in England. One of my British Facebook friends shared it to us - pretty funny because I shared it to them when you first posted it. I noticed your name at the bottom of her copy, so not all the copies have been cropped. I told her about your RU-vid channel via a message. -🇨🇦🐥💚❤️🎅🏻🎉🎉🎉🇬🇧🎅🏻
I'm so happy the Start planner changed the weekly layout to start on Monday ! I wanted to order the planner last year after your reviews, but got discouraged when I saw that weeks started on Sunday both for monthly and weekly spreads. Love your vids Christopher and looking forward to spend Dec with your Vlogmas ones !! Hugs! Ula
Great job as usual my friend. I love your spirit and giving attitude. I strive daily to be the same way but you help make me better at it. 😘❤️ XOXO Sabrina
Hi Christopher, I'm catching up on your vlogmas vids today. Thank YOU for giving us your time and putting so much effort into vlogmas. I truly appreciate you and your content. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!
You have so much energy! You also make me laugh. I was cracking up over the flying eggs. Stephen is a great Ricky to your Lucy haha. Loving the vlogs so far!
One time I was trying to go to a drive through and get some food and a man in a truck cut me off. I was annoyed but I let it go. When I made it to the front the guy honked and drove off. The employee told me that the man in front paid for my meal. I was kinda low on funds and that really made my day. I’m going to participate in your Advent on Kindness.
Love your latest tree. It reminds me of one I did about 20 years ago. Martha Stewart had a papercrafting star kit and I spent hours making lots of them. Put those, white bubble lights, cotton bolls and also the cotton boll calyxs, which are star shapped, spread with glue and then glitter, crystal icicles, lots of lights, etc. It is probably one of my favorite trees I ever did. Christopher, where did you get your bottlebrush trees? Could you link them if you have the time? I have been looking and cant find anything i think is right.
I am so enjoying vlogmas, thank you! Also, I love your advent calendar so much that I shared it with my boys' teachers, as they go to a Catholic school and I think it would be perfect. You are such a special person. ❤️
Your dining room tree is beautiful! I so needed the belly laugh from the egg fiasco! So thank you for that! This has been a very rough year for me with losing my husband so I am finding some joy by watching your videos. Tfs 💜 from NC
