I'm a little bit worried that Carrie's secret elf ambition is to essentially be the clerk of Santa court, sorting out the paperwork of who is naughty and who is nice. There's something bureaucratic and mean about it, like she aspires to tell small children "Computer says no."
she just notes down who's naughty or nice, it's s´Santa who's deciding it :p I actually think I would like that job too, I like order and systems, and that way you could always sneak someone into the nice list ;)
Brown paper packages tied up with string 😀 by chance or on purpose from the sound of music? Also I laughed at your outrage at having mashed potato at christmas dinner 😀. Also love seeing Mickey and Minnie are still on your couch since I gave them to Pete in August 😀 Happy Christmas from Ireland Carrie 😊
Couldn't help but think "rapper" and not "wrapper" while discussing Pete. You passing on your rapping skills to him made me laugh. Although maybe you guys can rap, y'all are talented.
loved this Q&A, Carrie. though I'm still not really in a christmassy mood, your videos never fail to help me get into it a bit more every day and get me excited for christmas :) still waiting for some snow, tho. xxx
Omg the Christmas tree ornaments! We have our own in my house, me and my brother have random old ones like you and tom but then we got Minnie and Mickey one from Disneyland Paris as well as a big one which is the pride of the tree... only problem was when divorce happened and I moved in with my dad and all the baubles had to be separated
The fact that you know Santa clause the movie makes me feel so happy inside! None of my friends know that movie! I always get strange looks when I talk about that movie. Patch is by far on of the best elves in any Christmas movie!
omg loving the mince pie idea! I made some a few weeks ago while I was still at uni and because I don't have a cupcake tray over there I ended up making them into mini pastie shapes.. it was very messy!
I wrap all of my gifts in brown kraft paper and string as well and am literally wrapping gifts in it right now and thinking about how I need to purchase more! It's so classic and beautiful and easy to personalize. Ohh, this just made me so happy.
As I'm sure we all know, Santa is extremely busy at Christmas time and so does acquire some helpers at Christmas time. All the elves are busy making the presents so a few of us are asked to help out. I'm assisting Santa in meeting as many children in Wimbledon as we can. It's been absolutely lovely and I'm looking forward (mostly) to working up until Christmas Eve at 5pm 😂
Early two times in a row, what is this??? Those mince pie envelopes look absolutely incredible! I think if I were a reindeer, I'd be Blitzen because that means lightning :) xx
Im glad you like elves! Im a Christmas Elf at my local garden centre! Seeing the kids faces when they see Santa is really amazing! I swear I have the best job! X
That mash comment was unforgivable. It has wounded me to my core. I shall never think of you the same way again. I can't do it. I can't stay serious about that. It's just personal preference, no? And I love that toasted bun song. It's bloody funny.
I've never heard anyone else relate matchmakers to Christmas! I always feel odd explaining it to people (except the honeycomb matchmakers are far superior to the mint matchmakers!) xx
Yay! I did the production of 'The Snow Queen' when I was about 8 and 'a little bit of butter on a twisted bun' was one of my favourite songs! needless to say I sang along with you at that point of the video :) loving you loads Carrie xx
My Christmas play debut was as a snowflake too!!! :D I remember I felt absolutely lovely in my sparkly blue and white costume. The original Elsa dress right there.. xxxx
Thems good questions!! Neat cookin' and all! Remembering the song was neat!? I can't compete singing wise but that transported me to year two being Christmas tree lights - my line was 'We always go on the tree first'... I was SO stoked to have a speaking part... but yeah. Being a light. I was bound for stardom. :''''''') thanks for allowing me a wee reminisce XP
I love the elf from the Santa Clause too!! But I have to say I do like mash on Christmas dinner tho. And if you were a reindeer I think Comet would suit you tbh
We did The Snow Queen at my primary and the bun song was only song that everyone could remember, because we were all cool and eight and so sang 'toasted bums' and thought we were amazingly original for doing so.
Some butter on a toasted bun bun bun bun bun bun a little bit of butter on a toasted bun! Did you sing the song about the Magic garden?! Also, I played Belinda in A Christmas Carol, and booked me and one of my friends tickets to see the Addams Family at the Mayflower! Super pumped ❤️
OMG NO WAY WE DID THE SAME VERSION OF THE SNOW QUEEN AT MY SCHOOL IN YEAR 6 (I was Gerda and somehow managed to learn my whole script where I was in every single scene over the course of one weekend, I was very proud of myself) AND WHEN YOU SUNG THAT SONG I'D FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW AND SO MUCH NOSTALGIA AND MEMORIES
Hey Carrie! You are very bouncy and happy in this video and it's great! I was just wondering, as my birthday is in August and that's when the Adams Family Musical is coming to Ireland, are you going to be in it when it comes to Ireland? If you are, I might be able to go as a birthday prezzie! xox -Ella, the present wrapping elf.
kinda had a feeling you'd choose comet!!! don't ask me why but yeah i think it fits you xxx (thanks for answering my question btw, it might sound silly but it made my day)
I think one of my favorite parts of your Vlogmas is that you've worn the same shirt at least once in almost every video. Which makes sense, it looks like an incredibly soft flannel. :-)
And that right there is why my birthday is shite and I decided to change it to a day in the summer. No one is in the mood to celebrate on the 26th and you always get forgotten!
we did the snow queen in my school when I was in year 4? I was a flower in the garden I think. I actually remember that song you sang and it's probably about 11 years ago
"do you eat or open your presents first" PUNCTUATION IS KEY KIDS
I totally had a crush on Bernard from The Santa Claus when I was little. What an elf.
Nicola Kennedy same!
I'm a little bit worried that Carrie's secret elf ambition is to essentially be the clerk of Santa court, sorting out the paperwork of who is naughty and who is nice. There's something bureaucratic and mean about it, like she aspires to tell small children "Computer says no."
Loreki Oh love. I think you're taking a questions about elves way too seriously. Xxx
she just notes down who's naughty or nice, it's s´Santa who's deciding it :p
I actually think I would like that job too, I like order and systems, and that way you could always sneak someone into the nice list ;)
I loved the shoutout to Dudley Moore's Santa Clause as it so rarely gets mentioned anywhere and it's brilliant! Also excellent tinsel crown Carrie x
Brown paper packages tied up with string 😀 by chance or on purpose from the sound of music? Also I laughed at your outrage at having mashed potato at christmas dinner 😀.
Also love seeing Mickey and Minnie are still on your couch since I gave them to Pete in August 😀 Happy Christmas from Ireland Carrie 😊
I think maybe the wrapping style is traditionally British? Just guessing because I have seen it other places like in Harry Potter movies and things.
Sugar thekitty not really. some people do it but not many and I have never met anyone who does.
Those pastries looked so cute! Also, love that song, so adorable.
I love your mug! Wintery drinks and mugs are one of my very favorite parts of the season 🙃
Couldn't help but think "rapper" and not "wrapper" while discussing Pete. You passing on your rapping skills to him made me laugh. Although maybe you guys can rap, y'all are talented.
love your videos always cheer me up when I'm unwell or trying to find motivation!! keep it up!
Hi Carrie! You make my days so very happy with your little positive side of the internet. Hope you have a lovely day/night 😊
can we talk a moment to appriciate that if either pete or her brother uttered the words "I'm floppy" it would become a meme in an instant
your hair in this particular video looks so fluffy and amazing, omg
I watched the intro a few times too learn how you did those lovely mince pies! so cute! Also, you've rekindled my love for tea. Ta!
If I'd known you were great at wrapping things I would have put you to work last night! x
Where can I find the recipe for the sweet envelope pastries?
I just made it up! It's literally just roll out puff pastry and mince meat! xxx
Thank you Carrie! I'll be making these for my family over the holidays. Cheers!
ItsWayPastMyBedTime. What exactly is mince meat? lol
Chris 10B It's made of fruits (usually includes sultanas) and spices! Dunno why it's called mince meat tho
Kaylin Handley thanks!!
I love your book Evie and Vincent reminded me
Of you and Pete!!
your hair is so cute and poofy and wonderful in this video omg i love it
loved this Q&A, Carrie. though I'm still not really in a christmassy mood, your videos never fail to help me get into it a bit more every day and get me excited for christmas :) still waiting for some snow, tho. xxx
I love your pillow in the back😍
Merry Christmas lovely Carrie❤
I wrap all my presents in brown paper and string too! somehow I feel it makes them look more Christmassy
watching these videos makes me feel even more festive!
Your hair looks amazing, really pretty neat curls! Lush did good
I love how happy and relaxed you seem. Yay Christmas!!!!!!!!!
Omg the Christmas tree ornaments! We have our own in my house, me and my brother have random old ones like you and tom but then we got Minnie and Mickey one from Disneyland Paris as well as a big one which is the pride of the tree... only problem was when divorce happened and I moved in with my dad and all the baubles had to be separated
Also Bernard the elf ❤️
i've never felt so judged for having mash potatoes lmao
I absolutely adore all your vlogmas videos Carrie 😊💕💕 keep it up, they're amazing xx 😊💓
The fact that you know Santa clause the movie makes me feel so happy inside! None of my friends know that movie! I always get strange looks when I talk about that movie. Patch is by far on of the best elves in any Christmas movie!
That mince pie pastry envelope thing looks yummyyyyy
omg loving the mince pie idea! I made some a few weeks ago while I was still at uni and because I don't have a cupcake tray over there I ended up making them into mini pastie shapes.. it was very messy!
I wrap all of my gifts in brown kraft paper and string as well and am literally wrapping gifts in it right now and thinking about how I need to purchase more! It's so classic and beautiful and easy to personalize. Ohh, this just made me so happy.
I don't know what you were baking at the beginning but it looked so pretty!
does the thingy on her head remind anyone else, of when she made videos with dan and phil
As I'm sure we all know, Santa is extremely busy at Christmas time and so does acquire some helpers at Christmas time. All the elves are busy making the presents so a few of us are asked to help out.

Early two times in a row, what is this??? Those mince pie envelopes look absolutely incredible! I think if I were a reindeer, I'd be Blitzen because that means lightning :) xx
I was in a performance of the Snow Queen & played the Robber Maiden & you singing Buns bought back so many memories OMG!!!!
3:52 anyone else laugh at this and think of the OTHER type of rapping??😂😂😂
Im glad you like elves! Im a Christmas Elf at my local garden centre! Seeing the kids faces when they see Santa is really amazing! I swear I have the best job! X
I love how you named your trees, thats adorable xD
I remember a bizarre amount of Christmas play songs from Primary School too! I don't think they ever leave you.
As do I!
That mash comment was unforgivable. It has wounded me to my core.
I shall never think of you the same way again.
I can't do it. I can't stay serious about that. It's just personal preference, no?
And I love that toasted bun song. It's bloody funny.
I did the bun song in our school Snow Queen production too!! It was like ten years ago and I still knew all the words when you started singing
I've never heard anyone else relate matchmakers to Christmas! I always feel odd explaining it to people (except the honeycomb matchmakers are far superior to the mint matchmakers!) xx
Last time I was this early MCR was still together
Victoria Demaretz it is too late for these emo feels nuuuuu
21 Trash pilots
It's never too early :)
Triggered
Yay! I did the production of 'The Snow Queen' when I was about 8 and 'a little bit of butter on a twisted bun' was one of my favourite songs! needless to say I sang along with you at that point of the video :) loving you loads Carrie xx
*toasted, damn I got too excited and typed too quickly
My Christmas play debut was as a snowflake too!!! :D I remember I felt absolutely lovely in my sparkly blue and white costume. The original Elsa dress right there.. xxxx
MERRY CHRISTMAS CARRIE!
That bun song is amazing!!
I love your eyebrows Carrie! Have you done something different to them? Xx
Charlotte Gleeson Nope! Same old eyebrows as always!
Thems good questions!! Neat cookin' and all! Remembering the song was neat!? I can't compete singing wise but that transported me to year two being Christmas tree lights - my line was 'We always go on the tree first'... I was SO stoked to have a speaking part... but yeah. Being a light. I was bound for stardom. :''''''') thanks for allowing me a wee reminisce XP
I think that question was supposed to be "Do you eat first or do you open presents?" like breakfast in the morning.
I know! XD xxx
lol Bernard was my first crush when I was like five!
Carrie that one question was asking if you eat breakfast first or open presents. Not if you eat your
presents
that song totally just made my day! what an AMAZING thing to remember!
Ooh we have a couple that we put lights in the bottom of! My favorite one of those is a beautiful ice castle!
I was thinking Bernard the elf too!!! (just rewatched that movie, definitely my favourite character in it haha) :-)
I have that mug! My parents bought it for me on the opening night of the first play I wrote...definitely holds a fair amount of tea! 💜
'why would I eat the presents??' omg never change :' )
I love the elf from the Santa Clause too!! But I have to say I do like mash on Christmas dinner tho. And if you were a reindeer I think Comet would suit you tbh
Don't think I've ever been this early to watch a vid! But yur making me feel festive now!
We did The Snow Queen at my primary and the bun song was only song that everyone could remember, because we were all cool and eight and so sang 'toasted bums' and thought we were amazingly original for doing so.
My God I remember you doing that song......! I've been watching for a yeaaaaaar!!!!
I wrap my presents like that too!! And I either address my packages like a postage address, or I make tags out of beads
Some butter on a toasted bun bun bun bun bun bun a little bit of butter on a toasted bun! Did you sing the song about the Magic garden?!
Also, I played Belinda in A Christmas Carol, and booked me and one of my friends tickets to see the Addams Family at the Mayflower! Super pumped ❤️
Whiskey sours also have raw egg in them. I'm glad I'd had the drink a few times before I knew it had egg in it, or I never would have tried one!
"Mashed!!!!!"
Me: omg I agree
"At Christmas dinner????"
Me: well then
Love that's videos. Makes me smile.
Envelopes looked amazing, def gonna try to make them :)
I need that mug! 💕
SHE ANSWERED MY BEST FRIENDS QUESTION AND I CRIED IM SO HAPPY
Mash, roasties and boiled (if my dad gets his way) 😂 roasties are the best though but in any other circumstances I gotta tell ya I'm a mash girl 😂
I was the Snow Queen for my year 6 performance yeaaarrrrsss ago! As soon as you said you were Grandma I started singing Buns!
OMG NO WAY WE DID THE SAME VERSION OF THE SNOW QUEEN AT MY SCHOOL IN YEAR 6 (I was Gerda and somehow managed to learn my whole script where I was in every single scene over the course of one weekend, I was very proud of myself) AND WHEN YOU SUNG THAT SONG I'D FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW AND SO MUCH NOSTALGIA AND MEMORIES
Do you have to buy vegetarian mincemeat as most as suet in.
Sainsbury's Mincemeat is vegan! :) xxx
***** Do you have a problem with the new 5 pound note, some do.
When do you and Celinde make a new video?? I like you together! 💜
Hey Carrie!
You are very bouncy and happy in this video and it's great! I was just wondering, as my birthday is in August and that's when the Adams Family Musical is coming to Ireland, are you going to be in it when it comes to Ireland? If you are, I might be able to go as a birthday prezzie! xox
-Ella, the present wrapping elf.
I watched this when it was originally up but am watching this reupload all the way through again...not sure if that helps you but I hope it does! 💗
2:20 was that 'do you "eat first" or do you open your presents first' XD
honey glazed parsnips... now you're making me crave ahhh at least its only a week to go hehe
kinda had a feeling you'd choose comet!!! don't ask me why but yeah i think it fits you xxx (thanks for answering my question btw, it might sound silly but it made my day)
stuckinherdaydream not silly at all it'd make my day if Carrie answered a question if asked
Those mince pie parcels look DELICIOUS!
I played a clown called Finlo in a Christmas primary school production and I still remember the song I had after 12 years!!
I think one of my favorite parts of your Vlogmas is that you've worn the same shirt at least once in almost every video. Which makes sense, it looks like an incredibly soft flannel. :-)
We did that exact version of the Snow Queen at my primary school!!
I'm a mashed potato addict so has to be included in my Christmas dinner 😂
And that right there is why my birthday is shite and I decided to change it to a day in the summer. No one is in the mood to celebrate on the 26th and you always get forgotten!
the song was wow!
I AM SO GLAD THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SEEN "Santa Claus, The Movie" I GENUINELY THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
Lead and follow, follow and lead...
we did the snow queen in my school when I was in year 4? I was a flower in the garden I think. I actually remember that song you sang and it's probably about 11 years ago
Those mince pies looked amazing Carrie! Is there a recipe?
Ellie Tull I'm going to guess: ready made (or your own) puff pastry, mince meat and sugar ☺️
JLTBABAxxx thank you :) x
Love you so so much Carrie xxx
But mashed potatoes are so good! I adore them!
That looks amazing! I wonder how I missed the question asking
I made maple syrup glazed parsnips last week, as a not real fan of parsnips I actually liked them! Highly recommended!
Those mince pies looked SO GOOD
How on earth did I miss the question asking? 😂 Anyway, great video Carrie Xx
Orange Matchmakers is the notable Christmas chocolate for me tbh.
I was in the snow queen too - I was a robber! The toasted bun song was class 👌
We have the same Gryffindor cushion!! :)
Matchmakers are one hundred percent a Christmas treat. Also walnut whips
What kind of pastry did you use for those envelopes?
They look delicious!
