Carol from Omaha, here:
Oh what JOY you brought to my heart to hear that you attended church as a family to celebrate our LORD. THANK YOU for sharing your CHRISTmas vlogmas with us!

Love your Elf antics …. Your children will always remember the naughty Christmas Elf 👌🏻

[christaboudreaux]

Your church building is so beautiful!! I just love old buildings. I’m in the US and old here is just not the same !! When we visited the UK my daughters pleaded that we didn’t go to any more church buildings because I kept wanting to see them. The floors the windows ❤️❤️. Thank you for the fun vlogmas

I love seeing what mischief your Elf has been up to! Also getting glimpses into you and your family’s day. My children are grown with families of their own, so these vlogs remind me of when my kids were young. My eldest is 49 and my youngest is 39. So Thank You for brightening my days with your Vlogmas videos!

Love following Elf’s adventures, you have a wonderful imagination. Loved seeing the kids scoot off to church too. One of my special Christmas memories from when my children were teens was my youngest falling asleep during the midnight service and sounded out with a loud snore in the middle of the (short) sermon. A hoot! Luckily, our Vicar had a good sense of humour!
Oh, and I second another comment below about not banking on your son not wanting home made clothes as he gets older. I made a pair of Hudson’s and an ABB tee (free pattern) for my youngest (29) in the autumn and am now part way through making a pair of Hudsons for my eldest (31). Got held up this weekend as I realised I’d run out of elastic. Doh!

It's great to see young children enjoy the magic of Christmas! It brings back memories of my two who still ask for handmade clothes and they're 28 and 29! I'm adapting the Indigo dress to make something my daughter saw online and it's been a lot of fun looking through my stash for fabric!! The garden centre looks like Longacres which is my nearest one. I have to be very restrained when I go there as I love a good browse and never come back empty handed!! Love your channel, you have inspired me when I've lost my sewjo or need ideas for new projects so thank you!

It's so nice to see your family doing things together. It reminds me of all the activities I used to do with my nephew when he was a child. He's 26 now and I don't see much of him anymore but the memories are lovely.

I just love the adventures you’re having with Elf.

If only picking up leaves took that long eh 😉😂. Your daughters dress was lovely and I made that for my two niece's last Christmas 👌💟. This year they've got hoodies 👍. Great to see you and your family out in the park 🌳⛲. The Elf is such a fun thing to do with your kids...and I'm guessing fun for you thinking of all the things that naughty Elf gets up to 😂👏💖🎄😘

Love your elf! Your kids are really enjoying it! Thanks for sharing

[maureencullen]

I have never heard of the naughty elf so it has been really fun to see him,

[lynnmoroz]

Thanks for sharing your Christmas activities with your little family. They are lovely! You are helping me get in the Christmas mood!

[clarabellah]

Really enjoying your vlogmas episodes, it’s so lovely to see a little more of your family life. But I’m especially pleased you are including what your elf gets up to as we’ve had an elf visit us each Christmas for the past 4 years and I think he’s running out of ideas! 😆

[MarieMadeThis]

Lovely to see your children having so much fun!

[liza_lou]

Albertan here, so glad to hear you visited Lake Louise, it truly is beautiful! Such cute fabrics for the pyjama pants and sweatshirt. That is one mischievous elf 😂

[donnac]

It’s so nice to see you and your beautiful family getting ready for Christmas. Your makes always seem to turn out wonderful. Thanks for sharing. ~ 😍 from across the pond 🇺🇸

[kathyscott]

Your vlogmas is lovely Cath. SO warm and friendly. And, as always, inspirational. You make me want to get out my sewing machine...

[nancyhilborn]

Still making clothes for my 27 and 26 year olds. Now they request things like Clyde Pants, water resistant mountain biking pants and merino wool jersey tops. They like the personalized details I add and appreciate the quality for the $. Can't wait to see what Elf gets up to next.

[leoniefryer]

What great fun for your kids. Thanks for sharing.

[janieceprieur]

I loved your toaster sweater. The print on the fabric is so pretty. A different floral look which I like. That elf is so funny. Loved seeing your kids enjoy themselves. Lake Louise is one of our favorite places though I have only been in summer. Must be so beautiful to ski there.
