I love that you guys let Parker express himself! Most parents wouldn’t buy their son a barbie calendar, but you guys are clearly amazing parents and I love you for that❤️
It teaches them how to be empathetic and good people, moms and dads. Parker is going to be a wonderful person when he grows up because he’s supported in all of his hopes and dreams. Everyone should be able to do and play with what they want.
There goes Grandpa John again making me want a dehydrator. Maybe I can just befriend him and we can do gift exchange! He can mail me apples, and I can mail him a craft! This vlog was so much fun! What a celebration! I’m so excited to find out if Santa was okay with his break apart cookies! Xoxo
Bailey is such a sweet young lady. She has “grace.” Duncan wants SO BADLY to participate in everything the older kids are doing! Especially the hot sauce tasting! Jake is an amazing big brother to his little brothers. He doesnt have an unkind bone in his body. Parker steals my heart everytime I see him loving Duncan. Jessica truly enjoys being amongst her children. Christopher is the penultimate husband and father. I love this family! Luke has an incredible family to be part of. He’s a lucky little baby!
@@lizk3174 i wrote heartfelt honest feelings about each member of their family, and you are Karen enough to point that out? Get a life. No one likes people who correct others’ comments.
I love how appreciative the kids are for everything they get and how much they say thank you for everything no matter how small or big even over homemade things. It’s nice to see kids like that it’s rare these days
Grandpa johns gifts are so cute ..the kids r so grateful.. one day the kids will appreciate the memories so much. I wish i had my grandparents growing up especially during the holidays. Not for gifts just their presence and memory.
Yeah I wish all youtubers were so thoughtful. I have autism and don't appreciate bright or flashing lights very much. I really dislike when I'm just watching a video and suddenly they throw those in there. A heads up is always nice so I can either skip it or lower my screen brightness or something.
Love seeing the kids faces as they open up their gifts. I don't have kids that are young anymore so I love watching your kiddos open up their presents and seeing your families all together.
I've always started advent calendars at 24 and then went down so they it becomes a countdown to Christmas... It kind of makes it more fun to watch the days until Christmas go down!
I always love Grampa's presents. I look forward to them every year... And I gotta say... I've dehydrated apples and mine don't look anywhere NEAR as yummy as those ones!! 😊🍎🎅
100% an advent calendar counts down to Christmas. It shows how many days left until Christmas. I love that you guys open many different ones. We only opened 1 a year and to this day I love the mystery and excitement
awhhh grandpa johns gifts were so cute and you could tell he spent a lot of time choosing the right thing to give the kids and when the kids were opening the other peoples more expensive gifts and grandpa john was sitting in the back watching i felt bad🤧
I’ll have to admit: I got the notification earlier today but I waited till the end of my day to enjoy this family that I love so much! Can’t wait to watch your Christmas morning!!
I love that your kids are so used to the work and preparation that comes with cooking/baking that they don’t like the idea of quick, break away cookies. That’s super cool.
I love intricate woodwork like that, the puzzle. Really beautiful. The kids all getting a big jar of apples from their grandpa is so sweet. That’s going to be a special memory for them as adults. I love grandparents, they’re such special people. I really miss mine. They were my grandparents AND my “parents.” I always counted 1-24 with my advents as a kid, and now that’s what I have my daughter do. I think it makes sense, and I mean, can you imagine the math you’d have to do when you missed a few days? 😂
Jacob is being the big brother we all need. Despite meltdowns he’s just gonna hop in and get stuff done so santa can have some dang cookies
I just love how Duncan has guessed strawberry everyday and he’s guessed more right than everyone else combined 😂 😂 😂
Allison Vashaw haha but the mango peach lime!!!
peppa pig that’s insane how he got it
Boo boo boo Christmas
Happy Winter
wtf why does this have so many likes lol
Jacob just getting the cookies done while everyone is arguing is such a group project mood 😂
LiliA Middle child to the max lol
Yaaaaaaa
That’s me
Jessica to Bailey: “Heyyyyy Bailey can i see Dobby(wink* wink*)😂😂😂
Bailey: *hands her all of them*
Catie Cannon i laughed so hard at that
I would honestly watch a 4 hour unedited Christmas day special!
HeidiHammer I would love that
that would be amazing!
I know right!!
Yesssssssss
*I will binge the entire vlogmas after the Christmas special comes out, it’s a tradition!*
I love how grandpa john give practical gifts from the heart.
I know, that made me so happy
Marry Christmas 🎄
Paul mays
I love that girl cookie
I love Harry Potter I love Harry Potter too Paul maysi
Hello how are you anything pAul maysy
Grandpa John’s gifts for the kids are heart warming.
Parker being so excited about guessing the word “spread” in Jessica’s calendar😂😂, oh my goodness “DobbyInABaaaaag”
I love how quickly Bailey caught on to to the “Dobby” thing. they are sooo sweet ❤️
I like how Parker said "I guessed it!" for every jam when he didn't get any
That’s called being six😂That age of kids don’t like being wrong aha it’s kinda cute in a way
he guessed that it was a spread
@@loc5559 I am 13, and still don’t like being wrong 😂
I think that Duncan's Dobby-positive outlook is a great way to enter the new decade! Anyone can be your Dobby!
Saving Duncan from sadness was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. 😍 18:00
I love when grandpa John is in the vlog he seem’s like such a caring sweet guy
Thekra Slaman I know right!! He’s such a sweet man! I wish I had a grandpa John
Laurel Kieffer me too!
Was anybody else invested in the mystery Barbie? Because... I feel like I need to know what she looked like 😂
Duncan's reaction to the Gingerbread craft was the cutest thing ever!!!
Elizabeth Stachura I read this right as he got the gingerbread craft
I love, love Grandpa John's homemade dried apples and the beautiful candle!
"are you sure you want to give Santa the cookie that fell on the ground?"
"...yeah."
Omg ... the funny thing ever 😝😅
duncan’s sadness when there wasn’t a dobby and then happiness when handed “dobby” in the bag is my favorite thing
Bailey holding up Jacob so he wouldn’t fall was so cute. She’s such a good sister. This whole family is so amazing
When Duncan put his hand on his head when he got a sticker/craft😂
I love that you guys let Parker express himself! Most parents wouldn’t buy their son a barbie calendar, but you guys are clearly amazing parents and I love you for that❤️
Mitzi Potter Yea boys can like barby too
My brother played barbies and dolls with me growing up. He had his on dolls to play with too.
It teaches them how to be empathetic and good people, moms and dads. Parker is going to be a wonderful person when he grows up because he’s supported in all of his hopes and dreams. Everyone should be able to do and play with what they want.
Lactation circle: If you get another child and if it´s a boy the child name must be Dobby if you ask Duncan 😂 😂 ❤️❤️
Okay. Jess holding back from absolutely cracking up after Duncan got a gingerbread house had me CRYING laughing 😂 I love it
I didn’t even know healeys had made a comeback. I can’t believe I’m old enough to watch something come back around
lol I just rewatched the vlog where Duncan paint his face with sharpie
time flies
Serene Wong I remember that too
There goes Grandpa John again making me want a dehydrator. Maybe I can just befriend him and we can do gift exchange! He can mail me apples, and I can mail him a craft!
This vlog was so much fun! What a celebration! I’m so excited to find out if Santa was okay with his break apart cookies! Xoxo
I would love to hear grandpa John read. He has the best soothing voice! What a gem!
Christopher: “so the two year old got chemicals.” Oh my god. 😂 when I tell you I laughed until I choked.
Mailey Sadowski time stamp plz
:@@mes10728 34:58
Eselcool AJ oh thanks 😊
Mailey Sadowski lol 😂
I was so relieved that Duncan got Daisy! Would have been such a disappointment 😅
I remember that Bailey wanted to be a problem when she grew up.
Omg yes lmao
poor Parker he got so sad when Jess said he couldn’t decorate the cookies😭❤️❤️
so sad but it was on the ground
He seems fine
That child has the most irresistible pout. How can anyone say "no" to that? It's good I'm not his mother, because he would be spoiled rotten.
Jessica really just didn’t have time for that and he needed to be grateful that they were even making cookies at all
Ken Zink you are, or. will be, a much better parent than I.
The Duncan and milk gag was sooo funny! His really gonna be a character he reminds me so much of Parker 😂🤣
“it’s Dobbie in a bag”, Yeaaaaaaaaaaa! Boy that Duncan is a ham! Duncan later with the snowman hat is so cute.
When Duncan says "IT'S DAISY" I CRIED
The distraught about the cookies omg lol bailey's face lol
Duncan’s cute little smile seeing “Dobby ” is very amazing
Bailey is such a sweet young lady. She has “grace.” Duncan wants SO BADLY to participate in everything the older kids are doing! Especially the hot sauce tasting! Jake is an amazing big brother to his little brothers. He doesnt have an unkind bone in his body. Parker steals my heart everytime I see him loving Duncan. Jessica truly enjoys being amongst her children. Christopher is the penultimate husband and father. I love this family! Luke has an incredible family to be part of. He’s a lucky little baby!
Penultimate means second to last...

I love the music when Duncan smells the Hot sauce and start running around the couch
Jacob is just so wonderful as a brother, a son and himself. Great job mom and dad. He even makes me proud.
When Duncan covered his mouth my heart melt!
When Chris asked if Parker wanted to give Santa the cookie that fell on the floor I died.
Just saw that... I lol lol
“I don’t like it but it smells like.....hot sauce” -Duncan

jessica's dad is such a sweetheart i just wanna give him a hug omg
thank you for putting in the flash warning i have seizures and flashing lights make me go in to one so thank you not many youtubers do that

"Dobby in a bag!!!" I love him so much!
Even though it’s January now it was always be Christmas as long as the Ballinger still have Christmas vlogs on their channel
Jessica “Duncan really wants try it “ chris “ oh boy “ I was just laughing for ages 😂😂
“Santa’s gonna love that cookie.” I bet he is going too
I've always started advent calendars at 24 and then went down so they it becomes a countdown to Christmas... It kind of makes it more fun to watch the days until Christmas go down!
Duncan being dramatic about absolutely everything is such a mood, I love him!
I love how Christopher pronounced scotch bonnet as if it was French 😂😂😂
I always love Grampa's presents. I look forward to them every year... And I gotta say... I've dehydrated apples and mine don't look anywhere NEAR as yummy as those ones!! 😊🍎🎅
Bailey's facial expression when she learned that they were not making real cookie dough
😂😂😂
I love grandpa john he is such a sweet kind hearted man
Lactation circle😂 we are spoiled with this vlog. Can’t wait for the Christmas vlog!!
Me to!!🎄
I was wondering the same thing with the calendars. I always start at one to keep track of the date when I skip days.
your kids are always so grateful, it warms my heart and makes me smile so much
Watching the Christmas special is always the highlight of my year ♥️😀
Aww when Duncan got the “dabi” how cute😭❤️🥺 Duncan is just the cutest
I love how all the kids say thank you so much so excitedly. Its so cute!
Grandpa John makes me want to get a dehydrator! Those apples look great!
I love this family sooo much, they all care love and respect each other xxx
I love how the kids got more excited over the apples than the toys just shows how grateful they are for anything they get. Beautiful family xx
I just want to watch Christopher testing hundreds of hot sauces
GrandPa John is so taughtful about his gifts he gave to his grandchildren. ❤️

Favorite line from this special:
Parker: “Wait, was it a spread?” 😂😂
I wrapped it myself soooo better watch out for that - Parker Ballinger 2019
If this isn’t the greatest start to the decade, I don’t know what is!! Always one of the highlights of my Christmas!!😍🎄🎅🏻🎁 LACTATION CIRCLE PRIDE!!!
Hello, can you please explain to me the "lactation circle" thing? A lot of people are saying it and I don't understand🙁
Veronica A. Yepp, what no u said! 😊
Idk why I always laugh when Jessica laughs 🤪🤣
I don’t like it but it’s kind of....hot sauce
-Duncan Ballinger 2019
wow i love grandpa john. so pure.
“so the two year old got chemicals”
anyone have flash backs of parker putting colleen’s lipstick all over his face 😂💀
“they have lots of holes” ohhhh my god
sooo funny!!! 💀
In the Miranda voice none the less
It was in the Miranda voice and I don't think he knows what he's saying when he says it like that😂
he didn't realise how much of a perfect Miranda thing it was to say
Time stamp? I didn’t catch that..... lol
I love when Brooklyn guest stars. Lol! And Parker was so sweet to compliment uncle Trent’s wrapping!
Dobby isn't a person, he's a state of mind and heart
I LOVE YOUR FAM SO MUCH!! Praying for a great new year!!
awhhh grandpa johns gifts were so cute and you could tell he spent a lot of time choosing the right thing to give the kids and when the kids were opening the other peoples more expensive gifts and grandpa john was sitting in the back watching i felt bad🤧
Hearing him say *Bonnet* is the best part of Christmas. Hehe
I swear Christopher’s eyes got brighter when he ate the hot sauce
Parker's reaction to his presents is literally the cutest thing ever!
Jessica’s attempts at winking were my favorite part 😂😂
I started laughing at the “I think santa wants creme brûlée for christmas 😏”
Duncan's reaction to the hot sauce where he runs back and forth to the milk was adorable. Aww!
I’ve always started at 24 because I’m counting down the days till it’s the last day
I love Duncan’s Christmas pyjamas. There so cute and adorable. Matching ones for Luke in the future??
I’ll have to admit: I got the notification earlier today but I waited till the end of my day to enjoy this family that I love so much!
Can’t wait to watch your Christmas morning!!
I want a grandpa John he seems so kind and genuine!!
I love 💕 parker's advent calendar barbie I would of loved it when I was his age.
I was so concerned when Jacob kept touching his lips and then touching his eyes. Also, what a trooper that he didn’t go for milk each time!
I love that your kids are so used to the work and preparation that comes with cooking/baking that they don’t like the idea of quick, break away cookies. That’s super cool.
Duncan melts my heart

chris - are you sure you want to give santa the one(s) that fell on the ground?
parker - "yeah"
😂😂🤣🤣
Grandpa John, always coming in clutch with the best treats.
