You should paint the family picture white on the back. Since you can see it really good when it is on the kitchen counter.
Crystal, you are so refreshing and inspiring and super uplifting and positive!!! You put SUCH good energy into the world!! Thank you SO much for being you and sharing yourself and your family and life with us!! Bless you my friend!!!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Crystal as a middle school teacher for 40 years the gifts definitely varied. But in general Middle school teachers do not receive very many gifts. I appreciated the little things like an extra pen, a sweet mug, a home made ornament or a simple note or hand made card from the students. Even a nice red apple was a treat. Have a wonderful holiday and just enjoy the kids and family. Cheryl
When I was in school 100 years ago😁 in the 60’s and 70’s we never gave teacher gifts and if itwa it was only in elementary school, but never in middle school or high school.❤️🎄
Hi, have I told you lately how I look forward to your visits? You brighten my day, thanks. Merry Christmas
Great video, Crystal! As a former teacher, I can assure you that those Starbucks gift cards will be much appreciated! When I was teaching middle school, even a sweet card or drawing from a student brightened my day.
As a Former teacher, getting Burt’s Bees chapstick trios were awesome. One for my desk, one for my purse and one for the car! Merry Christmas!
Crystal, I love the way you laugh over little things. It makes you so relatable and fun to watch. I just wanted to say that and I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas.
Have a wonderful holiday season with your family, and thank you for all you do. Take a moment to relax and enjoy! Happy holidays to all! 🎄💚❄️
Paint the back of the ornament with some white paint and you will see it that well, even on the tree!
I have always appreciated gifts of any kind from students!!
My little Kindergarteners were excited when I’d open their treat at my desk as they watched!!😊🎁
Crystal, I have to say that YOUR CHANNEL is literally….MY FAVORITE, especially when you post more frequently!!!
There’s other channels that are high on my list, but they don’t post as frequently.
THANK YOU… for your inspirations!!!🥰❤️💚
Crystal, the mugs are all so cute, and what a fun idea! The cookies look delicious! Every year before Christmas I think about making those, but just never get around to it! 🙄🤣 I have 2 kids who are adults now. When they were in elementary school we bought gifts for the teachers. When they went to middle school we stopped, because of multiple teachers, and because they really didn't want to buy gifts for the teachers anymore (the other kids didn't give gifts either). So that was a problem solved for me! 😂 I am loving these Christmas vlogs, Crystal! I hope you and your sweet family have a wonderful weekend! 😊🎄⛄️❤️
Girl you are one busy Momma. No wonder you have days you feel tired. I love your videos.
We stopped teacher gifts in middle school simply because like you said there’s just too many teachers.
We often gave homemade treats to middle school teachers. Chocolate dipped pretzel rods were a favorite.
It probably depends on where you are, but our school stopped accepting any homemade treats years ago. It may be different for teachers, idk.
I love the mugs! I admire you for getting something for all of your children's teachers. You're instilling grateful hearts in your children. I'm a former (retired) elementary school teacher and I rarely got gifts for Christmas from my students. Teacher appreciation was a little better but never great. I retired in 2001 and I did get several nice things for my retirement. In the 25 years that I taught school I never got a gift card. Your children's teachers are fortunate and your video really made me smile today! You and your family have the Christmas spirit toward everyone...wonderful!
Wow Crystal, that's too expensive. Teacher gifts usually stop after elementary school. When you have two or more in middle or high school, you'd go broke😊. No stop after elementary. I don't think those teachers expect anything. You have a generous heart ❤❤ The ones you wrapped were so cute.
As a former teacher I’d suggest that even a $5 Target gift card would be SO appreciated. It isn’t about the money at all. It’s about you acknowledging your appreciation of your children’s teacher. And middle school teachers are superstars (I wasn’t a middle school teacher!😅)
Teacher gifts, mug, with biscuit and a coffee sachet. Usually we do that in uk. Can get mug from charity shop (thrift store) take biscuit from multi pack and same for coffee or hot choc sachet.
Around Thanksgiving break,I gave my daughter’s teachers a hand sanitizer in the Gingerbread Girl holder from Bath and Body Works. Then before we got out for break, we gave them a personalized ornament, homemade hot cocoa mix in a jar, and a small box of homemade millionaire candy. On the last day of school before the break, we gave them an Amazon gift card with their favorite candy. I know how hard we all work since I am a teacher myself, so I wanted to let them know we appreciate them. Your children’s teachers will love the thoughtfulness and gifts.
Thanks for this escape Crystal! Brought a new puppy home yesterday & I’m exhausted. But it’s all good.
My kids only have yo select teachers for Christmas once they reached middle and high school. A nice gift for the upper level teachers is school and office supplies as they typically have to purchase their own.
We have six kids. Once they were old enough to have multiple teachers, we stopped teacher gifts.
I agree
You are so amusing to watch! You keep me entertained for sure! I love the cookies , they really looked yummy! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!😊❤
I've always been a big fan of remembering teachers through the years. For my kids high school teachers I buy from a local chocolate shop. This way I support a local business, they always have something seasonal in a cute box and a nice name tag and we are good to go. It's the thought and they always are so thankful for being remembered and then they don't have to worry about whose kitchen it came from 😊.
You’re hands down the best vlogger❤
Crystal, you could always glue a white background to the ornament. Maybe card stock or felt. 😊
I was going to suggest the same!
Merry Christmas Crystal!! You always make my day! You are a joy!
I got my granddaughter a Cirkul cup for Christmas. She LOVES water. She's only 11 but has always loved water
Cute mug ideas. Okay, first it was balls and now it is nuts, lol. You are too funny! Love you videos.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.Crystal you do amazing.
Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🎄⛄️🎅🏼
Good afternoon Crystal,my internet went down,had to get another company,so glad to see you.
Merry Christmas Crystal! The Lord's blessings to you and your family❤
I am a former teacher - yes, a middle school teacher! I didn’t expect gifts from any of my students, but received tons from many of my kids through the years. The most meaningful gifts were handwritten notes (from parents or students), some in frames. I have a certificate for “The Best Teacher” award that is hanging in my office from a very special student…minimal cost, done with a template on the computer.
I love your videos, Crystal! Thank you for sharing with us. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!
The mugs are adorable. Thanks for sharing.
With the ornament paint the back white or put white vinal on the back
Crystal that man mug is hilarious… I can’t wait to hear what your family said about it. I am sure it will be a hit. I love your videos, thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family 🥰❤️
Crystal you are amazing and so wonderful always thinking of everyone gifts and baking. I’m getting lots of ideas from you as well. Going to make the peanut butter blooms as well. See you later this week
Always the best motivation and inspiration, the mugs are so cute what an awesome idea 🤩
Our standard poodle gets into the same type mischief as your elves. 😂
Beautiful snowfall! It was in the 50s today in okc 😮😮❤❤❤❤
You should put white cardstock on the back of your family ornament, cut a hole for the ribbon, you'll be able to see the Pic better
Love the coffee mug idea using that for next year
Crystal, I would be really interested to hear how the games work at your Christmas gathering this weekend.
It's so sweet that you are thinking of teacher gifts for middle school. I think a Christmas mug (maybe from Dollar Tree to keep the cost down) with a little something tucked inside, maybe something yummy to eat, would be thoughtful and appreciated. Maybe a votive candle inside. I was a secretary in the front office of a middle school; and I can't tell you how much stuff I got from parents for Christmas! It was overwhelming to tell the truth! Appreciated of course, but I and the other secretary in the front office, made two trips to the car with so many things, it was crazy! We received ornaments, candles, one parent even brought in a homemade cinnamon roll! That one didn't make it to the car! LOL Such kindness and generosity, anything you choose would mean a lot. Merry Christmas!
I love all the mugs and gifts! That perfect man hot chocolate bomb cracked me up!! lol! I made the peanut blossom cookies today also
Those Peanut Butter Blossoms look P-E-R-F-E-C-T❣🤗
Cute mug idea for a family Christmas.
I get so many good ideas from you. Love the mugs idea and I'm going to hit Goodwill after work today to see if they have any mugs. Yes, I watch your videos as I work. LOL. The tiny bows are great for gift cards. Love that idea, too. Thank you.
You can paint the back of the ornament white to make the picture pop.
When you have lots of teachers…. What I’ve done is cookie in a mason jar. Decorate the lids. Provide the cooking instructions. Teachers have told me they love this because most font have a lot of time for baking. Cookies in a jar are just add butter and eggs, scoop and bake.
Since my grandsons celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah I give them very stuffed stockings for Christmas and other presents during Hanukkah. I'm always worried about finding enough stuff to fill the stockings especially for the baby. I had so much fun this year. I started early so I could look every time I was shopping. I think I did a good job.
Every time I watch your videos, I feel like buying something. 😂😂
The cookies look so good and the cup ideas are so cute!
Awesome video. Love the mug idea. Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can probably cut a piece of white vinyl and put on the back of the ornament to make it more visible. Love stocking stuffers. Would love to hear how the game with mugs goes. May need to do that next year.
Really enjoy watching your videos! Have a Merry Christmas!
I love Hallmark movies you have to watch Three Men and a Baby. I cannot believe Christmas is next week, I still have two gifts left to buy and deliver.
Tape a white piece of paper behind the ornament! This was so fun to watch.
Cookies look delicious. The mug gifts sounds like fun game.
I love the Vikings shirt.....and I love the mugs idea, fun!! Oh, this is such beautiful time of year, especially with snow!
The ornament is beautiful. I would suggest you use Mod Podge on the back and cut a piece of white paper to fit.
Wonderful Vlog! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻 Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄☃️🎄
You can put a white backing on your family ornament so you can see it better.
I worked in middle school and teachers love mechanical pencils pens post-it notes etc
I taught middle school and many times parents would give the team a gift. For example, Panera bagels and coffee. It was a little less money but the gesture was thoughtful.
Baking while it’s snowing outside sounds lovely. I have baked gingerbread men the other day and our weather is hot!😂
Nope its Thursday!The elves and their mischief so cute. I had them doing that in my classroom.I would love that Santa mug!!! Even though teachers have cupboards full of mugs. We start leaving them places at school to get rid of them..lol.My fave gift from students was teacher ornaments or gift cards....just not mugs!Ethan I just want your mug!!!High School teachers are so shocked to get anything.My daughter and I bought the real Christmas trees and decorated them! Big HIT!!!
Great video Crystal! Can you link the red flannel shirt you had on please? Love it! Merry Christmas to your family!🌲🎅
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
HI Crystal! I'm with you....totally exhausted. Ended up feeling like I was getting some kind of flu then came home from work, fell asleep and now feeling a little better. Still so much to do to get ready. I will collapse for sure after Christmas arrives! LOL Every time I buy a gift I say, "well, that's the last one I needed," then I think of another one. We are getting some snow right now but further North from us they will get socked. We should only get a few, maybe some lake effect, but you never know until it's over. I really wanted some snow for Christmas Eve, but it may actually go up to the forties which is unheard of this time of year. Stay warm, friend. Enjoying your Vlogmas vids!
Once my kids hit middle school and above I buy for their favorite teachers.
I enjoy your videos so much! Especially your vlogs ❤ Was excited to see u posted 1 more before Christmas & that u plan to upload 1 more this week!! 🎄yay! When my son got to Middle & High School, we would do small gift cards, mini baked items like a homemade mini loaf or bundt cake in a nice box, maybe a nice ornament that makes a statement or candy like a Merci box or lindor truffles. Now that ive watched it thru, i think the starbucks cards with a mini bow is perfect idea! Oh my goodness! That polar bear mug is absolutely adorable! What a great find! Those mugs are all turning out so cute. What a great idea! I'll have to remember this for future family gatherings 😊
Glue white paper on back of ornament, love the mug idea..TFS xoxo Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Merry Christmas Crystal to u and your family!! 🎄🎁🤶🏼
Thank you for sharing ❤ Merry Christmas! Could you tell us where you got your cute red flannel or what brand it is?
Crystal, that Perfect Man hot chocolate bomb is so cute! 😂 I'm going to try to find one (for myself!) 😂😂😂❤
I would do gift cards for 2-3 favorites and then i would pick out a small ornament for each of my other teachers
I like the hallmark movie,you were watching. I am so glad hallmark are doing a little different movies this year. The mug ideas are nice,I would love to get any of them. Cookies delicious 🎄
Make some homemade candy , dipped pretzel rods, cookies for the kids teachers!! That's what we always did and they always enjoyed it!!
So my idea for several teachers is to give a fruit basket or tray of cookies. Then they could put it in the teachers lounge to share
As for me as I live in Missouri, the Holiday Touchdown was cute .
Mod podge white card stock to the back of the ornament maybe?
I might try to figure out a way to give the glass ornament a light background paper/paint?!?! Great pic!
Crystal, I absolutely love your video. They are always my favorite ones on RUclips. It also is some great Christmas movies on Great American country channel. It's 86 on fiber optics. Don't know if you have fiber optics but but December. You really have some great movies on there too. I think you would enjoy videos. This Christmas has been amazing. They have helped me out so much especially on figuring out how to decorate. Love your style so looking forward to more videos. Hope you do a winter video on how to decorate. Thank you so much for sharing! Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas! 🎄
Hi Crystal, maybe you could put a white felt or velvet backing on your ornament
Thank you for the fun video! You are always so entertaining! Those mugs are great gifts for teachers and family and friends and adding a gift card is even better. I’m jealous of your snow. We’re not expecting any snow here in Seattle for Christmas. If we get any snow it’s usually in January or February. Every once in a blue moon we’ll get snow on Christmas!
Have a lovely holiday with your family!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I am baking tomorrow as well, but Imade the cookie dough in advance and froze it. It’s just too much to do it all in one day.❤️🎄 I hope you get your Amazon items as I heard they are on strike. I need a few things, but I will wait until after Christmas.
Love the mugs, teacher gifts are great too. Those cookies look delicious! 😊❤😊🎄
Maybe you could have a goodie tray delivered to the teacher’s lounge…still spendy but you get all the teachers in one gift! Also, maybe you could stick some white adhesive vinyl on the back of your ornament so it’s not transparent.
Hi: it's was an exhausting marathon of backing cakes and cookies 🍪 ❤🌷.
What a great game idea 👏love to see and learn 😮. How fun that you found the character of Charlie too❤!!!.
Merry Christmas to all of you ❤️ happiness success luck and joy for all of you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤have a magical weekend ✨️.
Stick a piece of white paper on the back of your family ornament so it stands out a bit more on the tree. 🌲
Vikings lookin good!!! 💚💛
Hopefully this idea will for for your ornament. Take a white piece of paper of some kind and trim it to fit the back of your ornament of your family.
This was a great video with awesome ideas! I’m gonna be making those cookies, did you roll them in sugar, orrr…
My daughter is also in middle school. I bought a nice bag of chocolate And a $10 dunks card
Both of my older kids are in high school. I go to target and I buy the $10 Starbucks gift cards and a stack of candy bars from Trader Joe’s. I attach one gift card to each candy bar and that way they can give them to each teacher, and they don’t have to carry around a bunch of heavy gifts all day
When I get as in school my mother would make shortbread cookies and us kids would decorate them for all our teachers. We did this all the way through middle school.
