A lot of creators would have decided to skip posting the video due to camera breakage, but you pushed through and still delivered content. Showing how much you care for your viewers and also how creative and hard-working you are. So since Christmastide is a time for giving, here is a little special thank you to you Morgan. We all appreciate you and your time. Merry Christmas to all. ❤
❤ Morgan, you are loved. You are ENOUGH. You don’t have to justify your existence, your opinions, or your actions to anyone. You don’t have to earn the right to relax (as all hard workers and high achievers do). You’re a gift to the world, truly a light. I think we all struggle with being kind to ourselves at times. Have grace with yourself sweet friend 🌼
You are a precious gem, Morgan! So very sorry to hear about your camera. 😢 The fact that you still forged ahead and voiced over the rest of your lost-audio footage was SO generous to us, thank you dearly for taking that extra time and energy, though you absolutely did not have to. Your videos are pure bliss and bring the smiles every time (no matter what!), because your gentle sweet spirit is ultimately what carries through. I hope you are experiencing a deluge of smiles too, even through the tears of life's mishaps. 🥲 You are amazing! Merry Christmas and sending all my love! 💞 Also, so appreciative of Day's message! It comes very promptly for me, as I've been anxiously fretting over an event that's taking place for me tomorrow. I will keep those tips in mind - big thanks!
I agree! Honestly, the voiceover was such a lovely touch. Morgan’s content is more than just cozy, it really encompasses lifestyle and life lessons. Best of luck with what weighs heavily on your mind and your heart. I’m sending good thoughts your way! The sun will still rise ☀️, and so will you.
If anyone can take an obstacle and make something amazing with it, it’s you Morgan! You are a truly gifted and creative professional, and your heart comes through in every video, which is what we love. We’re all here with you - onward through vlogmas!! 🎄🎁♥️
After a rough morning you were able to turn lemons into lemonade! (Or, I guess oranges into cookies and vitamin C shots) 😂 I thought the voiceover and sound effects were really fun! Your videos have been such a great treat at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing all of your creativity and laughter this season!
A bona fide "cooking technique " , called mise en place, from the French, translated literally "putting in place"...gathering all your prepped and measured cooking ingredients for your recipe into one place, (often on a tray- I use a little cutting board)...and voila! Cooking goes smoother and more relaxed, and there is never a missing ingredient 😊
Matthew Clairmont is said to smell of cloves, maybe that’s part of your association with vampires. I loved the applause during the blueberry games. I’m sorry your camera broke, but I actually had fun with your work around. Day, loved your message.
Hurray for buggering through despite the challenges of the day!!! 😂 Thank you Morgan, Landon and Roo for bringing so much joy to our lives!!! Thank you for sharing the real things that happen in your life with us and discussing your thoughts and feelings with us as you process them. It helps so much to know that I am not alone when hardship comes my way, and I can be brave and do my best and that's good enough. Your example has been such a GIFT to those of us who love you and appreciate you so much!!!❤🎉❤🎉❤ P.S. Thank you for taking us along for your shopping and to the cute gift shops and for sharing your baking experience. My husband doesn't always enjoy the same kind of food that I do, but that's ok. I used to only cook what he likes, but after many years of marriage, I cook things that I like as well and he is very happy for me to do so as long as I have something that he likes to eat as well. 😂
I'm so sorry your camera broke, but you made do very well! It was a nice change up. I also adored seeing the cute portland shops! Its amazing how so many of us wanted to see the same things in your videos. Also, I know you had mentioned your scoliosis in the past, but this was my first time seeing it. Morgan, you are wonderfully inspirational! It's easy to think people who exercise regularly must be in peak physical condition naturally, but we are all dealing with our own physical struggles to overcome. Thank you for sharing yours ❤. And to Day, what absolutely wonderful advice and such a manageable way to handle anxiety ❤. One thing I do along those lines, I actually got from one of Morgan's stickers. I write out "Whats the Best That Could Happen" and take anything I am worrying about and flip it into a best case scenario. It is truly remarkable how it flips that "fight or flight" switch.
I'm usually a silent viewer, but I find myself connecting with you so much, that I feel the want to leave a comment on your videos. I got diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 8 and it eventually progressed to the point that I needed Spinal Fusion surgery to correct it. But, hearing that you also have scoliosis makes me feel so much more connected to you. You are my comfort creator.
I’d love to take a cookie baking class! I so enjoy walking around these neighborhoods with you. I don’t live in an area with cute cafes, bookstores, stationary shops and parks so it’s really nice to see😊
I loved this vlogmas day 11 Morgan as you showed us how to just "go with the flow" when things don"t go perfectly as planned. Those Nordic cookies really sound delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I bet they are delicious dunked in coffee. Multnomah Village has some delightful shops and it was fun coming along with you as you shopped for Christmas gifts. Love your sweater! I also really appreciated Day's message about dealing with health anxiety disorder. She gave some wonderful advice and suggestions.
Morgan, your Vlogmas has become a cherished daily ritual for me. You and Jonna Jinton remind me of each other; it’s not the passing physical resemblance, but it’s the compassion and kindness you exude, your astonishing creativity and your adorable partners and doggies. You deserve 5 million subscribers as well.
Please do more voice overs, this one turned out so fun and funny indeed 😊. I'm glad you didn't cut the video short ❤ this kind of reminds me of a home movie, not perfect but nice to remember.
You WONDROUS YOUSE! Luv ya Morgan. Sometimes shiitake happens, and sharing your upsets & downs is so helpful. So much of Facebk & Instagraham can show just the perfect moments in life. Staged of course. But doesn't really feel REAL. So thank you for being you in your vlogs. And also ty for sharing yr scoliosis. You have encouraged hundreds of yr viewers who also deal with this. Blessings and cookie crumbs!😂
I loooove how you always make the best of things, Morgan! Your voice over and sound effects where awesome. I had to laugh so much! 😂 Day, thank you for your voice message! I totally agree with you that nobody here would feel dissppointed or angry with Morgan!
Loved this one especially that you showed that things did not go as planned but you made the best of it and it turned out just as it should in the end. ❤
Hi Morgan. In my family we make brunkager and vaniljekranse every year. We go to my grandmas house and bake a bunch so everyone can get a whole box home with them. We use brown sugar and a bit of syrup in our brunkager. Sometimes we also make them fun christmas shapes with cookiecutters. God jul (happy Christmas) from 🇩🇰🎄
Ooh I'll have to try out that cookie recipe. Lol, my mom used to tell us kids that a good mom lets her kids lick cookie dough off the beaters, but a great mom turns it off first ;)
You made lemonade out of lemons with your camera breaking. It feels like a sweet story time , listening to you tell us about the day with the little clips inserted. Its lovely Morgan 💕🎄💖
Morgan I watch your videos consistently however I rarely if ever comment, but the way you pivot when the unplanned things in life happen is what makes you magical. From when a camera breaks or you don't have the exact ingredients needed for a recipe, or whatever the case is... You're truly a light in this world and we're blessed that you share so much with us. ✨
What a great video displaying real life. There are good days,and bad days. Thank you Day for your message as a fellow person with anxiety I appreciate your message.
Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to each day. You brighten my days. I'm so sorry about your camera. Much love to you, Landon and Roo. ❤🎄😊
Can't believe it's Day 11 already! Where is the time going?? Bless you Morgan for all you do for us! And yes please, if you need a day off we totally understand! But I'm happy to hear you love doing what you do, even though it's your job! Sweet Dreams Morgan, love Lisa, from Portland Maine! :)
Hey Morgan. It's such a blessing to watch your precious videos. You are honestly sharing from your heart and it brings so much joy and warmth to many. I also do have scoliosis myself and many times struggling with pain and other symptoms. So I just wanted to say special thanks for being vulnerable and sharing about scoliosis. Take good care of you ❤ You are a wonderful person, a gift to the world. Sending warm hugs to You ❤
Everything you share is such a joy to watch, Morgan! And I just have to share this series has become the highlight of my day😌 My 3 oldest daughters (7, 4 and 3) have asked to watch alongside me and it has become a bit of a daily ritual for us! Thank you for all that you do 🩷
Morgan, I’d just like to tell you that I’ve been watching your videos for almost 5 years now and truly you have made such a positive difference in my life 🤍 I was feeling very lonely when I first found your channel and it truly felt like I was spending time with a friend and it stills feels that way today 🥹 I visited Portland this year and most of the places I visited are places I first saw in your videos! It was the most amazing trip ☺️ Thank you for being a constant bringer of joy to my life!
Thank you for another wonderful video Morgan! You definitely made sunshine out of rain with the lost audio on the footage as I think the blueberry part was my absolute favourite bit! Thank you for persevering and your effort to still give us a video, when you could have quite justifiably said, no video today! Those cookies look delicious! Also, if you don't mind, a little tip - whenever any recipe calls for citrus zest and sugar, beat the citrus zest around in the bowl with the sugar. This "bruises" (seems mean!) the zest and will help it to release even more of their oil, so more flavour and aroma!
Dear Morgan thank you so so so much for all you r effort and time/ love putting in the vlogs now and all year round. ❤ and you keep shining and do your ultimate best for us. Merry Christmas to you and all the Morgan Long fans 😊from all the world. Xxx Cynthia from the Netherlands bye bye Ps my Dog ( a Labrador from 4 years is watching with me every morning too watched Roo 🐾 and keep wagging his tail for Roo s actions and it’s starts with the intro it’s so adorable
Zoe Sugg had such a similar snowman in the first shop, love seeing your Xmas shopping 💓 as I remember when you didn't have the confidence x Positives are everywhere x Aww Mo, I like many others value you so much x you definitely did find a solution well done mate, I hope you're not too hard on yourself x I do extremely look forward at the end of every day this month but not at the cost of you being anxious and feeling ill when you deserve to enjoy your life and the joy of working for yourself if it can be avoided xx Sending love x As someone with type one diabetes and POTS Xmas can be hard physically for me too so I loved this message at the end about health and your health x Can't wait to see what else you produce x If it was the other way around you wouldn't have a negative reaction to something out of someone's control x 🕯️
hey Morgan, so sorry your camera broke! just wanted to say i found the mute video of you, Landon and Roo so endearing, it reminded me of my favorite movie Amelie!! you guys are so special, thank you for sharing your life with us on youtube. Merry Christmas!
Sorry to hear about your camera! I really enjoyed the music you chose & the voice over narration that you had to pivot and add in, thanks for sharing your infectious gratitude & light online in another video.☀️I’m going to try baking snickerdoodles this weekend!🍪
This video turned out soo good still! You are amazing. What a cozy vlog like always. This felt so real and relatable. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know how hard it must have been for you, I remember you have talked before about being a recovering perfectionist. This really shows how far you come and people will still truly love everything that you do. You are such an inspiration.
Helloooo =] i find it so funny that when you start saying to pause the video and go make yourself a nice warm cup of tea/coffee.. i immediately pause and go do it if i don't have one in my hand 😂😂 it's such a lovely best friend group thing to do and i find it so fun i'm always smiling everytime i hear the drill of going to get your cup o' tea ☺ thank you so much for listening to the requests and i'm glad i'm not the only person that was hoping for similar content! hehe awww how cute i love the voice over and the other audio footage! even though you weren't planning to do this i bet you had a ton of fun trying to recreate the initial magic you had on video ☺ So So proud of you for sharing about your thoughts on working out and talking about your medical condition. i think it's so great that you shared about it and i bet it helps many people here in this community to feel less self conscious about working out and just doing what we enjoy or what feels good rather than have an instagram worthy exercise lifestyle. i love this cookie recipe! i think i would love to try them!! they sound so great for a good sweet treat during this holiday season! ill have to pause and write down the recipe to make em =] thank you again for sharing, even during the mishaps 💚💚💚 also, i agree with Day (as i bet many of us agree)that if things become too hectic or stressful in you providing us with all this lovely content it's quite alright if you need to take a day or two to reset! we just love and appreciate all that you do and go out of your way for us and we want to make sure you are taking good care of you =] we care and love you for who you are, so no matter what, we are happy just to be here! -Best wishes, Rory
Yesterday was my 26th wedding anniversary. My husband and I drove around to look at Christmas lights. Brought with hot cocoa in our travel mugs and freshly baked Sweet Loren’s cookies. It was such a sweet date
Thank you for sharing this video just as it was. When you can show up it's amazing, when you can't because you need time for yourself, that is great, you are taking care of yourself and that is more important than anything. The video, even without audio, but with your narration was perfect as it was, it's still you, it conveys the ray of sunshine that you are. Thank you once again for all the effort you put into you videos, Morgan. :)
It was so fun going to some little shops with you🎄 And, thanks to you I will always associate cloves with vampires now😂 Landon’s dinner looked delicious!! I’m really sorry to hear about what happened to your camera. I can imagine how upset you must’ve been. Thank you for finishing the video for us❤️ We love you, Morgan friend❤️ And thank you for the encouraging message, Day😊
I think you should go thrifting for a Christmas apron or Christmas towels. Fun to hunt for treasure if you have a specific mission! Or you and Landon should challenge each other to find the funniest thrifted ornament and then wrap and exchange for laughs! Merry Christmas!
I just watched the rest of your video. I’m so sorry about your camera. But I know you, you’ll carry on stronger than you were yesterday. That’s the Morgan way of being. 😍
wow I love your perseverance. thank you for being a safe place on the internet. Also random request - could you share your bang styling secrets? your hair ALWAYS looks amazing!
I'm so sorry about your camera! Boo! :( It's ok to be upset and I love that you allow yourself the feeling and then deal with it in a positive attitude. Those cookies look yummy! Your vlogs are always a treat and make my day but just remember to do what YOU want as well. It's ok to just have a relaxing easy day, or a shorter vlog. Just be you and enjoy it.
Granulated cane sugar is just regular white sugar. In most recipes, you can substitute brown sugar if needed. The brown sugar will give it a slightly deeper molasses flavor and it will come out a bit softer. When chocolate chip cookies call for both white and brown sugar, the white sugar is what gives more crisp and the brown sugar adds chew when baked. Using turbinado can be a bit grainy. I generally put in on top of muffins or scones prior to baking for a crunchy sugar topping. If using it as a replacement, I would suggest grinding it down more (mortar and pestle, food processor, or blender) before adding it to the recipe. The smaller granular will allow it to dissolve into the recipe better. Also, when a recipe is too dry, I would suggest adding water instead of butter. Adding too much fat can cause the recipe to not bake right. Water can be a safer option for new recipes.
As a Dane it was fun to see you try brunkager. I've never made them myself so I don't have any advice about the dough. But I'm glad you like the taste :) The voice over was a fun way to fix the rest of the vlog. Take care!
I’m sorry your camera got broke which costs you but this video was wonderful and I’m just always happy to see your videos come up 😊. I was wondering how come your video had not popped up earlier in the day and I was looking for you, now I know how come. So glad you and yours are okay and it was just the camera but still sorry you have now another cost during this season. ❤
Mise en place Morgan!! Everything in place! 😊 Anne Burrell would be so proud of you, haha. (Shes the Worst Cooks in America show hostess in case anyone lives under a rock and doesnt know. Very famous chef ❤) 👩🍳 🤌 She would also approve of your very lovely cookies. Btw, its a zester. Still a grater but specifically, a Zester 😄
Regular sugar creams with butter more easily, so I think if you used this recipe with regular sugar the dough wouldn't be so crumbly. They sound amazing! I really want to try them! Sorry about your camera!
I'm sorry about the camera Mor! I definitely enjoyed the "double narration" though 🙈 the cookies look really good and i think I'd really like them too ❤
Aww. So glad you’re keeping up with your stretching/yoga. I had a full spinal fusion at 16 y.o. and two repairs. Scoliosis Sisters! The caller’s message is very timely as I sit here staring at what looks like an enlarged thyroid on my neck. *deep breaths *
Applause to you for trying a new and very different cookie recipe. Cookies from other cultures are always interesting. You did great with them! Your narration was so cute. So sorry about the camera. Hopefully, there might be some warranty coverage.
I’m a little bit behind on commenting, because when you upload it’s 02:00/03:00 a.m. for my time zone 🙈😬 but that’s okay. 🧡 I’ve just finished watching the vlog and I’m writing right now. I don’t know if you see this comment, I am sure most of your viewers said this and I will add myself to them too. I’m sorry that your camera has broken. ☹️ But I’m here no matter what. Whether you have a tiny clip to upload or even nothing. You have rights to be upset, to slow down, to take a breath. You’re enough just the way you’re. And P.S. Those little rock creatures were really, really, sooooooooo sweet. 🥰
I was sorry to hear your camera broke. There is never a good time for a camera to break, but it happened during Vlogmas. I understand if you need more time or you can"t post daily, The big camera did a good job though. I was surprised you have scoliosis. You have great posture. My daughter has scoliosis. It is noticeable on her ride side (scapula shoulder area) when she stands. You are right about staying fit and toned. It helps her with pain and strengthens her back and shoulder area. It also tightens things up and her scoliosis is not as noticeable. Thanks for another great Volgmas!
Im so sorry your camera fell victim to misadventure. If you end up feeling the need to get it repaired or replaced I’m sure many of us would be happy to help via the purchase of some art or another puzzle edition to fundraise 💕 the star lanterns from one of the boutiques were so beautiful and remind me of a clothing/accessories shop that used to be on NW 23rd called 3 monkeys (the last time I’ve been there was the late 90’s/early aughts so I’ve no idea if it’s even still open 😅😂) but it was so artsy and cool. I purchased a headband with blue rhinestones (it was the height of my Titanic obsession I could imagine them as sapphires) and I dubbed it my bitch crown (which really meant it was my empowerment crown to wear when I needed extra confidence to speak my mind and ditch my imposter syndrome /chronic people pleasing). Thank you for continuing on despite the hardship, you are a light to so many Morgan 🥰
Loved this video as you just handled all the “day threw your way”… low batteries, sadly a troubled camera, etc! Did Victoria take her class at the Nordic place where Thomas Dambo’s troll is? If so, super neat! Your cookies sound fantastic! (And of course Landon had 5🤣)
A lot of creators would have decided to skip posting the video due to camera breakage, but you pushed through and still delivered content. Showing how much you care for your viewers and also how creative and hard-working you are.
So since Christmastide is a time for giving, here is a little special thank you to you Morgan.
We all appreciate you and your time.
Merry Christmas to all. ❤
❤ Morgan, you are loved. You are ENOUGH. You don’t have to justify your existence, your opinions, or your actions to anyone. You don’t have to earn the right to relax (as all hard workers and high achievers do). You’re a gift to the world, truly a light. I think we all struggle with being kind to ourselves at times. Have grace with yourself sweet friend 🌼
Thank you so much for these encouragements, friend ❤️
You are a precious gem, Morgan! So very sorry to hear about your camera. 😢 The fact that you still forged ahead and voiced over the rest of your lost-audio footage was SO generous to us, thank you dearly for taking that extra time and energy, though you absolutely did not have to.

After a rough morning you were able to turn lemons into lemonade! (Or, I guess oranges into cookies and vitamin C shots) 😂 I thought the voiceover and sound effects were really fun! Your videos have been such a great treat at the end of the day. Thank you for sharing all of your creativity and laughter this season!
A bona fide "cooking technique " , called mise en place, from the French, translated literally "putting in place"...gathering all your prepped and measured cooking ingredients for your recipe into one place, (often on a tray- I use a little cutting board)...and voila!
Cooking goes smoother and more relaxed, and there is never a missing ingredient 😊
I think that the audio fail is actually serendipitous because I really like the voice over style it's giving storyteller ❤❤❤❤
Omg I cackled at the competitive blueberry tossing bit! 😂 Your editing is absolute perfection 👌🏼
📷
A little help for the camera. (don't worry, it's not in dollars).
Matthew Clairmont is said to smell of cloves, maybe that’s part of your association with vampires.
I loved the applause during the blueberry games.
I’m sorry your camera broke, but I actually had fun with your work around.
Day, loved your message.
YES! It's totally Mathew! I remember Diana had the taste of cloves in her mouth when she first interacted with him.
Hurray for buggering through despite the challenges of the day!!! 😂 Thank you Morgan, Landon and Roo for bringing so much joy to our lives!!!
Thank you for sharing the real things that happen in your life with us and discussing your thoughts and feelings with us as you process them.

Thanks!
WOW, thank you so incredibly much, friend!! That's so generous of you ❤️
Please do more voice overs, this one turned out so fun and funny indeed 😊. I'm glad you didn't cut the video short ❤ this kind of reminds me of a home movie, not perfect but nice to remember.

DAY, what a fabulous name you have, and thank you so much for your helpful and hopeful message! 💚
I loved the effect of you narrating your vlog. It made it feel like a diary entry in movies/tv shows.
Can't believe it's Day 11 already! Where is the time going?? Bless you Morgan for all you do for us! And yes please, if you need a day off we totally understand! But I'm happy to hear you love doing what you do, even though it's your job! Sweet Dreams Morgan, love Lisa, from Portland Maine! :)
Hey Morgan. It's such a blessing to watch your precious videos. You are honestly sharing from your heart and it brings so much joy and warmth to many. I also do have scoliosis myself and many times struggling with pain and other symptoms. So I just wanted to say special thanks for being vulnerable and sharing about scoliosis. Take good care of you ❤ You are a wonderful person, a gift to the world. Sending warm hugs to You ❤
Everything you share is such a joy to watch, Morgan! And I just have to share this series has become the highlight of my day😌 My 3 oldest daughters (7, 4 and 3) have asked to watch alongside me and it has become a bit of a daily ritual for us! Thank you for all that you do 🩷
Morgan, I’d just like to tell you that I’ve been watching your videos for almost 5 years now and truly you have made such a positive difference in my life 🤍 I was feeling very lonely when I first found your channel and it truly felt like I was spending time with a friend and it stills feels that way today 🥹 I visited Portland this year and most of the places I visited are places I first saw in your videos! It was the most amazing trip ☺️ Thank you for being a constant bringer of joy to my life!
I saw those cutie Christmas ornaments. I’m a sucker for felt ornaments.
Thank you for another wonderful video Morgan! You definitely made sunshine out of rain with the lost audio on the footage as I think the blueberry part was my absolute favourite bit! Thank you for persevering and your effort to still give us a video, when you could have quite justifiably said, no video today!

For things to do, maybe peacock lane, downtown decor, the gorge waterfalls. I enjoyed the Xmas tree farm gift shop.
Zoe Sugg had such a similar snowman in the first shop, love seeing your Xmas shopping 💓 as I remember when you didn't have the confidence x Positives are everywhere x
Aww Mo, I like many others value you so much x you definitely did find a solution well done mate, I hope you're not too hard on yourself x I do extremely look forward at the end of every day this month but not at the cost of you being anxious and feeling ill when you deserve to enjoy your life and the joy of working for yourself if it can be avoided xx Sending love x
As someone with type one diabetes and POTS Xmas can be hard physically for me too so I loved this message at the end about health and your health x Can't wait to see what else you produce x If it was the other way around you wouldn't have a negative reaction to something out of someone's control x 🕯️
5:36 this snowman is the biggest star of vlogmas this year he made two appearances in zoe sugg's vlogs and now morgan's!
Such a sweet video! Thank you!😊
hey Morgan, so sorry your camera broke! just wanted to say i found the mute video of you, Landon and Roo so endearing, it reminded me of my favorite movie Amelie!! you guys are so special, thank you for sharing your life with us on youtube. Merry Christmas!
😂😂😂 that dog ❤
Sorry to hear about your camera! I really enjoyed the music you chose & the voice over narration that you had to pivot and add in, thanks for sharing your infectious gratitude & light online in another video.☀️I’m going to try baking snickerdoodles this weekend!🍪
Cute shopping area love it!! Love those kind of places! 💚❤️❤️❤️💚🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️💚❄️🎄🎄☃️🌨️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎁🎁❄️❄️🎁🎅🏻❄️💚
This video turned out soo good still! You are amazing. What a cozy vlog like always. This felt so real and relatable. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know how hard it must have been for you, I remember you have talked before about being a recovering perfectionist. This really shows how far you come and people will still truly love everything that you do. You are such an inspiration.
Helloooo =] i find it so funny that when you start saying to pause the video and go make yourself a nice warm cup of tea/coffee.. i immediately pause and go do it if i don't have one in my hand 😂😂 it's such a lovely best friend group thing to do and i find it so fun i'm always smiling everytime i hear the drill of going to get your cup o' tea ☺ thank you so much for listening to the requests and i'm glad i'm not the only person that was hoping for similar content!
hehe awww how cute i love the voice over and the other audio footage! even though you weren't planning to do this i bet you had a ton of fun trying to recreate the initial magic you had on video ☺ So So proud of you for sharing about your thoughts on working out and talking about your medical condition. i think it's so great that you shared about it and i bet it helps many people here in this community to feel less self conscious about working out and just doing what we enjoy or what feels good rather than have an instagram worthy exercise lifestyle.
i love this cookie recipe! i think i would love to try them!! they sound so great for a good sweet treat during this holiday season! ill have to pause and write down the recipe to make em =] thank you again for sharing, even during the mishaps 💚💚💚 also, i agree with Day (as i bet many of us agree)that if things become too hectic or stressful in you providing us with all this lovely content it's quite alright if you need to take a day or two to reset! we just love and appreciate all that you do and go out of your way for us and we want to make sure you are taking good care of you =] we care and love you for who you are, so no matter what, we are happy just to be here! -Best wishes, Rory
Hello beautiful Morgan! Love your videos. Just wanted to suggest Christmas crafts and maybe coloring a Christmas coloring book. 😊
Yesterday was my 26th wedding anniversary. My husband and I drove around to look at Christmas lights. Brought with hot cocoa in our travel mugs and freshly baked Sweet Loren’s cookies. It was such a sweet date
I’m watching 2023 vlogmas to get an extra Morgan & Landon fix! ❤
Thank you for sharing this video just as it was. When you can show up it's amazing, when you can't because you need time for yourself, that is great, you are taking care of yourself and that is more important than anything. The video, even without audio, but with your narration was perfect as it was, it's still you, it conveys the ray of sunshine that you are.
Thank you once again for all the effort you put into you videos, Morgan. :)
It was so fun going to some little shops with you🎄 And, thanks to you I will always associate cloves with vampires now😂 Landon’s dinner looked delicious!! I’m really sorry to hear about what happened to your camera. I can imagine how upset you must’ve been. Thank you for finishing the video for us❤️ We love you, Morgan friend❤️ And thank you for the encouraging message, Day😊
I think you should go thrifting for a Christmas apron or Christmas towels. Fun to hunt for treasure if you have a specific mission!
Or you and Landon should challenge each other to find the funniest thrifted ornament and then wrap and exchange for laughs! Merry Christmas!
I just watched the rest of your video. I’m so sorry about your camera. But I know you, you’ll carry on stronger than you were yesterday. That’s the Morgan way of being. 😍
What a lovely message Day! Thank you. 💕
I use raw cane sugar for baking all the time. It makes good vegan cakes.
Yes. Me too:)
wow I love your perseverance. thank you for being a safe place on the internet. Also random request - could you share your bang styling secrets? your hair ALWAYS looks amazing!
Hey Mo, You are nearly at 98K Subscribers !... getting closer to the 100.
I'm so sorry about your camera! Boo! :( It's ok to be upset and I love that you allow yourself the feeling and then deal with it in a positive attitude. Those cookies look yummy! Your vlogs are always a treat and make my day but just remember to do what YOU want as well. It's ok to just have a relaxing easy day, or a shorter vlog. Just be you and enjoy it.
You both did awesome catching the blueberries! Good job ❤️❤️☃️☃️💚💚🎄🎁🌨️❤️❄️❄️🌨️🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎅🏻❤️☃️💚💚☃️❤️❤️❤️💚❄️🌨️🎄
I am gonna miss your daily vlogs 🫶❤️ 🧣 🫖
I really love your glasses, the store was beautiful.
That message ❤
Thank for sharing much love ❤❤❤😊
Lol I love that Landon didn't like the biscuits much but then ate 5 of them! 😂 I'm so sorry to hear about your camera! ❤
Thank you Morgan for your wonderful vlogs 🩷💕
The voiceover was so fun. The camera breaking sounds so stressful, but you did an amazing job utilizing the footage you had!
Loved the video! Showing Portland around! ❤
Granulated cane sugar is just regular white sugar. In most recipes, you can substitute brown sugar if needed. The brown sugar will give it a slightly deeper molasses flavor and it will come out a bit softer. When chocolate chip cookies call for both white and brown sugar, the white sugar is what gives more crisp and the brown sugar adds chew when baked. Using turbinado can be a bit grainy. I generally put in on top of muffins or scones prior to baking for a crunchy sugar topping. If using it as a replacement, I would suggest grinding it down more (mortar and pestle, food processor, or blender) before adding it to the recipe. The smaller granular will allow it to dissolve into the recipe better.
Also, when a recipe is too dry, I would suggest adding water instead of butter. Adding too much fat can cause the recipe to not bake right. Water can be a safer option for new recipes.
That's really helpful, thank you for all the baking tips!
❤❤❤
Are you going to be finding the big grouping of Santas again this year?!
I was wondering the same thing
Will you guys be doing that one thing this year where you drive around on that "Santa scavenger hunt?" That was so fun to watch!!
That’s so nice, Morgan!❤
Thanks for sharing Morgan about ur scoliosis we appreciate it so much LUV U BBFL ❄️💚💚❤️💚💚❄️🎄🎄❄️❤️☃️☃️❤️❤️☃️☃️☃️❤️🎅🏻🎅🏻🌨️🎄🎁🎄🎄🎄🎁💚☃️☃️❤️❤️
As a Dane it was fun to see you try brunkager. I've never made them myself so I don't have any advice about the dough. But I'm glad you like the taste :) The voice over was a fun way to fix the rest of the vlog. Take care!
I’m sorry your camera got broke which costs you but this video was wonderful and I’m just always happy to see your videos come up 😊. I was wondering how come your video had not popped up earlier in the day and I was looking for you, now I know how come. So glad you and yours are okay and it was just the camera but still sorry you have now another cost during this season. ❤
❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨🌲🌲🌲
Mise en place Morgan!! Everything in place! 😊 Anne Burrell would be so proud of you, haha. (Shes the Worst Cooks in America show hostess in case anyone lives under a rock and doesnt know. Very famous chef ❤) 👩🍳 🤌 She would also approve of your very lovely cookies. Btw, its a zester. Still a grater but specifically, a Zester 😄
Loved this!
Regular sugar creams with butter more easily, so I think if you used this recipe with regular sugar the dough wouldn't be so crumbly. They sound amazing! I really want to try them!
Sorry about your camera!
Oh no I am so sorry your camera broke Morgan hope you get it fixed soon 💚❄️❄️❄️💚❄️❤️❤️💚❄️🎁🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄🌨️☃️☃️☃️☃️💚❤️💚❄️❄️🎄🎁🌨️🌨️🎅🏻🎅🏻💚❤️💚☃️☃️
I'm sorry about the camera Mor! I definitely enjoyed the "double narration" though 🙈 the cookies look really good and i think I'd really like them too ❤
❤🎄❤️🎄
I am so sorry about your camera! *hugs* Happy holidays!
That was such a fun and creative way to overcome a misfortune! I am sorry about the camera though- but the blueberry scene was so funny!!😂
Aww. So glad you’re keeping up with your stretching/yoga. I had a full spinal fusion at 16 y.o. and two repairs. Scoliosis Sisters! The caller’s message is very timely as I sit here staring at what looks like an enlarged thyroid on my neck. *deep breaths *
You reminded me so much of Anne of green gables in this video!
So cute! Sorry about the camera but you made a good video in spite of the hurdles. I do like going shopping vicariously!
Warm blanket and hot coco
Applause to you for trying a new and very different cookie recipe. Cookies from other cultures are always interesting. You did great with them! Your narration was so cute. So sorry about the camera. Hopefully, there might be some warranty coverage.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I’m a little bit behind on commenting, because when you upload it’s 02:00/03:00 a.m. for my time zone 🙈😬 but that’s okay. 🧡 I’ve just finished watching the vlog and I’m writing right now. I don’t know if you see this comment, I am sure most of your viewers said this and I will add myself to them too.
I’m sorry that your camera has broken. ☹️ But I’m here no matter what. Whether you have a tiny clip to upload or even nothing. You have rights to be upset, to slow down, to take a breath. You’re enough just the way you’re.
And P.S. Those little rock creatures were really, really, sooooooooo sweet. 🥰
I was sorry to hear your camera broke. There is never a good time for a camera to break, but it happened during Vlogmas. I understand if you need more time or you can"t post daily, The big camera did a good job though. I was surprised you have scoliosis. You have great posture. My daughter has scoliosis. It is noticeable on her ride side (scapula shoulder area) when she stands. You are right about staying fit and toned. It helps her with pain and strengthens her back and shoulder area. It also tightens things up and her scoliosis is not as noticeable. Thanks for another great Volgmas!
I enjoyed this video. May I ask where I might purchase your adorable mushroom apron?
Im so sorry your camera fell victim to misadventure. If you end up feeling the need to get it repaired or replaced I’m sure many of us would be happy to help via the purchase of some art or another puzzle edition to fundraise 💕 the star lanterns from one of the boutiques were so beautiful and remind me of a clothing/accessories shop that used to be on NW 23rd called 3 monkeys (the last time I’ve been there was the late 90’s/early aughts so I’ve no idea if it’s even still open 😅😂) but it was so artsy and cool. I purchased a headband with blue rhinestones (it was the height of my Titanic obsession I could imagine them as sapphires) and I dubbed it my bitch crown (which really meant it was my empowerment crown to wear when I needed extra confidence to speak my mind and ditch my imposter syndrome /chronic people pleasing). Thank you for continuing on despite the hardship, you are a light to so many Morgan 🥰
Loved this video as you just handled all the “day threw your way”… low batteries, sadly a troubled camera, etc! Did Victoria take her class at the Nordic place where Thomas Dambo’s troll is? If so, super neat! Your cookies sound fantastic! (And of course Landon had 5🤣)
So sorry about the camera! But also so glad you didn't go "and that's the end of the video coz that happened".
