Christmas in your homeschool (morning basket, books you read, etc.), decorating, Christmas outings, Christmas food haul (like your Trader Joe's fall haul), winter clothing haul (kids too), maybe holiday outfits, if you do any kind of Advent activity, what you got your kids for Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄
I would love to see videos on what you’re getting your kids for Christmas, how to stay on track with health during the holidays, and maybe a Christmas decor tour!
We have "envelope" checking accounts. So we have a portion of my husband's paycheck that goes straight into the Christmas account every 2 weeks so after a full year we have all the money we need and we don't have to stress about it. I usually start shopping in October and done by Thanksgiving because I hate shopping when everyone else is lol
Pre-teen Christmas gift ideas, stocking stuffers, homeschool Christmas books you’re reading, traditions, favorite Christmas party food, and yes on the vlogmas!!!!
Oh, and I wanted to add that I also don’t do “junky” stocking gifts just for the sake of filling the stocking. Honestly, stocking gifts can range from a couple dollars up to about $20. A good way to use up space is with a piece of clothing stuffed in the bottom (tshirt, fuzzy socks or slippers, etc).
Ideas for videos: Traditions, gift ideas for different ages, gift ideas for husbands!! Maybe your favorite holiday foods, healthier takes on traditional holiday food. Tips on how to not overeat around the holidays, maybe what to do with leftovers so you're not eating pie and cookies for an entire week. And do you do anything special with your fitness training during these higher calorie intake months? Or would you recommend that?
I love the 4 present plan, but struggle with budget friendly ideas for those teen years. My 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter are tough this year.Yes, we love to travel with the kids. It's sort of the gift that keeps on giving. And doesn't clutter. :-)
We do the 4 gifts as well: something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. My kids know that the “something to wear” is always Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve. I collect books throughout the year for the “read” category. Also a part of this category could be a leap pad, leap pad cartridge, kindle, boogie board, writing pad, etc. We also pick names and everyone secretly buys a gift for the person they chose. I also fund these gifts, however, my children are expected to help out daily and don’t receive an allowance unless it’s an extra/above and beyond chore they do (usually in the summer is when they have time for these extra chores). I would love to see a daily video as I watch while I exercise! However, please just do what brings you the most joy and peace!
Yes, please do vlogmas! 25 days would be nice but don't worry if weekdays only work. Whatever is better for your family. For Christmas we stick to a total of $1,000 for all gifts. Throughout the year we will buy gifts on sale or clearance and try to finish up with Black Friday sales. We started doing the same system as you do with gifts about two years ago now, best decision ever! We also only do white elephant gifts for the adults on both sides of the family, saves a ton of money. My children save and buy gifts for siblings, $5 limit and they usually go to a store called Five Below. They love doing that! As a family we pick out two items to donate at our church for their toy drive. It's up to my oldest two to find the best deal on the items during the Black Friday sales.
I would absolutely watch your daily vlogmas!! Ideas.. stocking stuffers, your gift wish list, gifts for friends, healthy-ish baking ideas, healthy party foods, Christmas decor. Yay!! So excited to watch, because I know whatever you share will be great.🥰🎄
We divide the amount we want for Christmas by 11 months and put some away each month starting in January. It allows me to start shopping in August and avoid shopping in December because we have crazy shops and even crazier weather then. I don't watch the vlogmas videos just because of time but its always fun for record-keeping for yourself!
Looooove Christmas!!! My favorite holiday but I usually buy everything online in October, don’t enjoy the craziness of the holiday. Could you share ideas for stockings? Thanks!
We set aside a little each month for Christmas starting in January and it has worked well. I'd like to see husband / men gift ideas. To me they are so hard to buy for. Girls are way easier! 😊
I would absolutely watch every day!! I love the idea of vlogmas❤️ maybe like a clean and decorate with me, what I’m giving my kids (4 different videos?) any fun traditions you do?
Homeschool - How you adjust your schedule Do you read certain books / do a special history unit etc Anything related to learning and holidays! Thank you
We take the entire month of December from TGATB, and do Christmas unit studies like how the winter holiday is celebrated around the world. We also enjoy making cards, and gift packages for a local nursing home.
The Amazing Slim Down Excellent ideas! I think I want to take December off and do unit studies. We use TGATB for pre K / K currently. But supplementing with unit studies is a great way to continue learning but focus on winter, weather changes /snow, holidays like you said around the world, giving back, etc. I think I can pull something together this season! Thanks!
Yessss vlogmas🙌🏻 I do the 4 gifts per kid as well, and it works well for us too! we start early in the year looking for gifts and for the same reason.. we want to just enjoy the holidays versus stress about it. One year we did Disney on ice/zoo lights as a gift and my son loved it, I’m all for experiences instead of toys etc
I think shopping early is a great idea, I am always running around at last minute. For my 4 kids ( 24,19,17,and 11) on Thanksgiving they draw names, like a secret Santa between them. They love trying to surprise the one they get. We started when they were smaller to save me $ .
I have done Vlogmas twice and both times I did 25 days. You can totally adjust to what you prefer though. I usually watch Full Time Wife Life's Vlogmas, but she said she was taking a break this year so I will definitely watch if you post.
Definitely do vlogmas! I don't watch them on weekends, however, I can catch up on Monday 😉 videos on Christmas: baking that you do with your kiddos, purging toys to make room for new, decorating, shopping, serving the community as a family. Just ideas 😁❤🎄
I would love to see Vlogmas! But don’t push yourself to post on the weekends. I can see a lot of people not being able to watch on the weekends and your work being a lot for a little return.

I personally do not enjoy a typical vlog style video, but i do sometimes skim them. I do enjoy your videos. Would love to see how you fit homeschool into holiday craziness.
Two years ago, we asked our kids a similar question- if you had a choice, would you choose to rescue a greyhound and receive no gifts, or receive gifts? They both without question wanted the dog, so we adopted a dog! Of course they got a few little things, but definitely less than usual. Neither have regretted it, and always ask if we can do the same thing again. 😂 I would love vlogmas, and have no idea about the weekends. That's a lot of work, so I'd say if you do it, do what you can handle without stressing! You want to be able to enjoy the holiday season. 😃
I would really like to see your Christmas traditions, gift ideas for in-laws, movie/ book-lists that you enjoy over the holidays, favorite holiday recipes.
Do you do an advent calendar? If so, how and what do you do? I would definitely watch a daily video! You put it out there and I’ll be watching it! Vlogmas as is an awesome idea! Suggestions.... - Christmas decoration home tour - how you homeschool around the holidays - Christmas treat recipes - favorite Christmas movies, music, books, devotionals - community service ideas for the holidays with your kids - Christmas gift ideas for kids Can’t wait!
YESSS to vlogmas!! Some Christmas videos I would enjoy seeing are what’s in their stockings, a haul of the presents they get, and your Christmas decorations!
I'd love to know if you do an advent calendar or tradition. I'd also love to hear how you bring Jesus more into the holiday? I feel like it's so easy for kids to forget about the reason of the season.
Yay for vlogmas. I love that system I need to implement that maybe next year. This year we are going on a vacation out of the county during the last two weeks of the year so that’s a huge gift for us. I would love to see what you buy the kids this year and a decorate with me video!
We set aside a small amount all year and put it into our Christmas "bucket" ( we use YNAB for budgeting so we just assign a line for christmas and a dollar goal for the year). I tend to do three gifts each plus a shared gift and stockings. I have 2 boys so the shared gift is the easiest one usually. We also try to do a family getaway in the winter.
I do an envelope for holiday shopping. I start in January, so by August the funds are there. I like to get done by October 1st. This year each kiddo gets 4 gifts (2 from Santa, 2 from mom and dad). And we don't buy gifts for outside of the household (if that makes sense). We do crafts and baking as gifts, those are great. Oh, and gifts for the pets of course. This year they are getting new beds and harnesses. Do you do baking for Christmas? A video on that would be awesome, love seeing how and what others bake.
Yay for holiday content! I know that original vlogmas was 25 videos in a row, weekends, too. I’ve done it both ways, 25 straight, and then just M-F. Benefits to both!
Vlogmas is fun to watch. I don't care if you do it on the weekends or every day. Be present with your family first. We do the same thing for giving our kids gifts. Sometimes, like this year, when we are tight on money, we give a board game or flavored cocoas and thrift store mugs to friends/family for gifts. It's actually a favorite gift too!
Holiday content ideas: healthy Thanksgiving/Christmas dishes, your holiday decor, how you make Christmas Christ centered, advent/countdown to Christmas ideas, Christmas treats, fit ornaments, ideas for gifts for grandparents from kids
Oh my gosh Elf!!! lol. That's a family tradition around here. My brother's whole family comes over and we all eat popcorn, christmas cookies and cocoa while watching it.
I would love to watch your vlogmas! Some that I’ve watched have done like one weekend vlog instead of each day. Or just skip weekends. I think you could do whatever works best for you!
Great video! I would love to see decor and also if you have Christmas themed activities in homeschool what does that look like? Also, what traditions do you and your family do during this season? That would be fun to watch. God bless!
Vlogmas sounds exhausting! We celebrate Chanukah (were Messianic) and we’ve also told the kids their gift are not things but travel, time together, ect... They also like that better. Our families celebrate Christmas and last year we bought movie tickets, and took the cousins to the Nutcracker. The kids loved that so we’ll probably do something like that again.
Love this!! I’ve been watching your channel for awhile & love it. I do the same for Christmas. I’m always trying to think of cool stocking stuffers. What do you do for stocking stuffers? Where are you going on your trip of a life time? We too love to give experiences I think it’s win win!! More family time together, education, & just great experience to see things do things they might not ever again get to do. ❤️
Ooh vlogmas!! Yes please!😁😁 I start early with Christmas for my kids too. We decide on a dollar amount my oldest is seven, so it still works. But that's a great idea for the future 😊
I love your idea of the 5 things and the trip. I will be honest I HATE (I know! A bit harsh perhaps but literally how I feel) Christmas shopping. Somehow the fun has been sucked out of it. My ideal plan would be to start buying early in the year...sometimes I do that...but my husband doesnt share the lets buy early idea. I wrell really stressed out and anxiety levels go through the roof! So any tips I can get are very well appreciated. I will try to see if I can sell the 5 things idea to my kids. Anythow ty and would love to see how your December month goes!
We are going to Disneyland in March so that is our kids’ big gift and for their individual gifts, I’m trying to buy things they can play with together and games for homeschool
We budget the same, I start around the same time (same number of kids), and do almost the same 5 gifts. Instead of something to make we do a board game. As my older kids were getting older, we needed some games for their age and some of our younger games were played out and needed to be replaced.
I try to buy Oct/Nov & tie up loose ends in December. 😊...but online shopping has changed the game, so much easier to shop 🛍 ...I love your 5 gift system...I always buy too much & regret it later
We do something similar as far as the five gifts in each category. My biggest challenge this year is the two oldest kids don’t want anything and my youngest wants a puppy. Not sure what we are going to do.
@@GraceandGrit I was just about to ask this too! My kids are 2 and a newborn and I have been trying to decide how to do Christmas gifts. My husband and I like the 4 or 5 rule on gifts. But he doesn't want to do Santa gifts at all, but growing up I loved Santa gifts even after I was too old I thought they were fun. I like the idea of doing one gift from Santa, I also have a friend and they do Santa takes care of the stockings at their house. Just trying to figure it out. I think gifts are fun but I definitely want to keep the "stuff" and the spending to a minimum and really make Christmas about Christ and not the gifts. Thanks for sharing!

Same! It makes saving for Christmas effortlessly and easy.
@@rubyhaskell1325 yess!!
We do the same, budget through the year from each paycheck. I'm attempting to be done shopping early!
Great idea!

Yes to vlogmas 🎄 Im the same, i start shopping in July and Im done eith everything wrapped up by October 🎄🎄 such a good way to budget
I want to see what you got your kids and hubby this year for Christmas, what you do in Christmas Day, and what Christmas traditions your family has!!

What things do you do to make Christmas about more than just the gifts. How do you make it meaningful?
Carey Robbins lots of things. Just our daily conversation of joy and gratitude for the season and our savior.
Vlogmas sounds exhausting!
We celebrate Chanukah (were Messianic) and we’ve also told the kids their gift are not things but travel, time together, ect... They also like that better.

Vlogmas 🙌
I would love for you to do Vlogmas, but we don’t want you to burn out and then we don’t see you for a few months! 😂 🎁
Monday Morning haha can’t have that happening!
Does Santa come to your house?
Ashton A yes!
How do you do Santa gifts? Does Santa bring the "big" gifts or smaller ones?
Ashton A he brings one gift unwrapped and it’s always another want item:)
Thanks for the info! Our son is 5. We try to not over do the "Santa" thing and try to keep Christmas about Christ. Just wondered how you handle it!
