I forgot to mention in this video that there is another “BIG” shared Christmas surprise for ALL the kids that you’ll find out in our next vlog… 😊 And might also be worth mentioning that Santa got them each gifts (not shown) as well. Merry Christmas everyone! What is the best gift you gave or received this year?? 🤗
The best gift I have got is getting to spend time with my family. Jess you have done amazing and it’s a fab idea with what u have done with the kids. Xxx❤❤🎉❤🎉
I loved this soo much! I remember wrapping gifts with my Grandma as a child, it was one of my favorite traditions (even though I picked up my moms gift wrapping techniques.. I swear sometimes her gifts looked like they came from a pro). I’m definitely not as good as I used to be but when my daughter was younger it was a tradition i passed on to her & she LOVES.. I used to let her wrap her own gifts even, as long as it was just like clothes in a box (something she didn’t know what the gift was), she still comes home from college ready to wrap all the gifts 😉♥️💚 & shes a lot fancier about it these days than I am 😏
Boxing Day is called Boxing Day, because in the last century servants were only allowed one day off. This was the 26th of December. The servants went home to their family for the day, and they were given a box of foods and gifts to take to their families to unbox, and was originally called unboxing day.
I love how you gave the kids responsibility for wrapping their siblings gifts this Christmas and even more responsibility and trusting them not to tell eachother what they got. I love how much you trust your kids and the bond you have with them.❤️
Addie is precious asking where everything is from!😊 Jessica maybe this won’t mean much cause I’m only 16 but, I think you are a wonderful mom and I love your vlogs so much!
I love seeing your relationship with your kids. It’s so fun they have so much love and trust in you and you can see how much they see you as a friend as well as their mom 🥰😍
Addie sounds so grown in this video- asking where her outfits are from, double checking to make sure none of the gifts you brought out aren’t hers and putting the cookies in the oven oh so carefully- so so cute
Having the kids wrap each others gifts is genius. It's teaching them that everyone needs to contribute to make Christmas happen, especially the boys, their future girlfriends/wives will thank you.. Unfotunatelty a lot of grown men and husbands don't feel the need to contribute much. Thank you for raising better boys!
Jess you’re such an amazing mama! It melts my heart to see how amazingly blended you all are! I wish all step parents could be the way you guys are! Lilia is a lucky girl! My oldest daughter just turned 18 on Xmas day and her father JUST started being a part of her life again about a month or two ago! I feel so hurt for her because she could’ve had so much more love and family in her life but it is what it is. She lost my mom and her step dads mom in 2014 and 2015…so it makes it that much more heartbreaking because her biological fathers mother could’ve been there more but it was like as soon as he had his other two children with his wife they all forgot about my daughter. She didn’t lack love and that’s what was important. She’s growing into such a beautiful smart amazing young woman so I can’t say that I’d change anything I just wish she could’ve had her other family around her more, Glad you all had a Merry Christmas!
You should have storage bins for each of their gifts. That way as you get stuff in, you just put them in their storage bin and it will help keep things organized and also still hidden.
I love how you had the kids choose each other's gifts to wrap. Maybe next Christmas I'll do that with my boys and they can wrap each other's. I just like them to both be surprised on both only their gifts but each other's as well.
Also- The wigs- IVE COSPLAYED PROFESSIONALLY FOR 5 YEARS- BEST ADVICE- STORE THEM IN THE BAGS! They tangle sooooo easily!!! And got2b is the best hair spray if she ever wants to start styling them!
Maybe the kids would enjoy going to conventions. There’s fanime in San Jose in may and anime expo in LA in July. I don’t know if addie would like it but the big kids hopefully would. There’s so many cosplayers and things to do!
We celebrate Boxing Day in Canada! Malls and stuff are open and that’s when everything goes on sale/clearance! It’s kinda like our Black Friday! We have Black Friday but it’s not as big here Boxing Day is bigger and it’s a holiday so either get paid for not working or paid more for working
thats cool wut the kids got for christmas and how u had kids involved in wrapping. good idea on how u did the wrapping paper. those bottles u got for addie. i so remember those. i had them as a kid and i also remember they dried up but they was old
Merry Christmas to all..I hope you all had a beautiful wonderful day filled with love and tons of laughter along with memories for years to come!! God bless
Jess I love your videos so much you have Come so far and it’s amazing. I love you guys so much your kids r so privileged tons of love. Lilia has grown up soooooooo much she’s so beautiful she follows her mom. Hope you had an amazing day Love Ava xxx❤ happy new year. Xxx
For dinner, I ate turkey wings, ribs, mac-&-cheese, stuffing, steamed cabbage, cranberry sauce and rolls and I drank tea. I only squeezed honey barbecue sauce on my ribs. For a dessert, I ate a chocolate pie wedge.
oh definitely get Kyson and Landon some knee, elbow, wrist and butt pads for snowboarding. they will definitelyyyy come in handy and will save them from some bruising♥️
As a cosplayer I am so happy to see, younger poeple getting in to the hobby, but i will admit i dont do any anime characters, I do mostly movie and tv show characters and mostly DC.
I don't online shop. But if I were to surprisingly get at least 2 wrapped Amazon boxes on Christmas, then I'd excitedly yell "aah" for getting the round condiment squeeze bottles by either Houseables or Pinnacle Mercantile. I could separately plenish my bottles with mustard, ketchup, honey barbecue sauce, pancake syrup, caramel sauce and chocolate syrup. I could play with my empty bottles. I like the Houseables bottles with the measuring black labels.
Our tradition is cartoons (jam tarts with cake mix on top) and my sisters ginger cake (home made) we do veg prep on Xmas eve day xx then decorate cakes aswell xx
That cookbook. My mother in law had the same one. I accidentally threw it away and she was asking for the stuffing recipe in it. She swears its the bestest ever.
i have that betty crocker cook book too! much smaller but it was a gift from my grandmother! she used to make dozens beyond dozens of cookies to ship to us and the other grandkids! happy late Christmas!
I will say that every year I look forward to your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day videos I've made it a tradition to watch your Xmas eve videos on Xmas eve and your Xmas videos of Xmas you always do a goodjob and I love your videos ❤
I hope you had a merry Christmas like I did. It was great, festive and traditional to me. I watched "The Disney Parade". I watched the Vlogmas videos. I watched the Christmas Eve service. I listened to the contemporary Christmas music. I feasted.
It’s great to have kids help wrap lol my mom used to put our gifts in a bigger box and we would help wrap them without knowing. I’m sure I peeked lol she only had my sister and I but I loved to help. My husband and I did the same thing with wrapping paper!
Where is it from lol, wrapping so sucks! Good plan x, we celebrate boxing day in Australia, I love Mimi if she ever wants to sea change I'm here xxx, I know you have too but I couldn't not have my kids for Christmas, I have steps and we get them for Christmas day, omg magic bottles still exist! Amazon is so more expensive in Australia I use ebay all the time x
Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 and Happy New Year from my family to yours Jessica. We just love your videos so much and Eddie's dress is so cute I never saw anything like that before. Yes it's going to be a very busy Christmas this year my daughter has little ones herself she has a 6-year-old son his birthday is in April she has a daughter that's 4 years old her daughter is 2 years old and their birthday is the same date and the same month January and she just gave birth to her third daughter Zora December 15th little mama weighed 7 lb 4 oz and 19 inches long. But she had to stay in the hospital the mother my daughter or four days because her pressure was up so but she is fine made it home for the holidays so we did have a beautiful Christmas. That's why I'm just catching up on I feel your videos but I love your family so much you always put a big smile on my face and I will always support you. My hometown is Philadelphia Pennsylvania but we live down here 26 years in South Carolina and I believe we got some good old cool Philly weather down here buys me and my hometown. Stay warm love you and always looking forward to seeing you next videos those sugar cookies look delicious 😋 bon appetit 😋⛄🎄❤️😊

My favorite gift was EVERYONE in my family got zoo memberships 😍its a never ending gift the best
the best gift i gave was a spongebob mug cake (it’s a joke between my uncle and i) and the best gift i received was an ipad air! 😊
Mr Christmas jessfam
My favourite gift would have to be my new earings as I recently got them pierced. Love your videos x keep the good work.

Not trying to be rude,but why do you have cameras around all over your house?
@@anitasweet454 agreed. Exploitation
I know I’m far from perfect but I’m just wondering
@user-xf1oj2zl1oFAKE
Addie is precious asking where everything is from!😊 Jessica maybe this won’t mean much cause I’m only 16 but, I think you are a wonderful mom and I love your vlogs so much!

Unfotunatelty a lot of grown men and husbands don't feel the need to contribute much. Thank you for raising better boys!
My mum used to do that but let us wrap our siblings presents for their birthdays instead. I can never forget those moments.
You should also consider that the boys may have future boyfriends/husbands. Just to not reinforce traditional norms.
Jess you’re such an amazing mama! It melts my heart to see how amazingly blended you all are! I wish all step parents could be the way you guys are! Lilia is a lucky girl!

That is so neat what the kids got for Christmas I hope everyone is doing good and had a good Christmas sending prayers for everyone

Canada celebrates Boxing Day too. Its like our version of Black Friday.
I love how you had the kids choose each other's gifts to wrap. Maybe next Christmas I'll do that with my boys and they can wrap each other's. I just like them to both be surprised on both only their gifts but each other's as well.
Addie is going to be an Old Navy girl for life
I love your videos, you and Chris work so well as a team
Addies facial expressions crack me up 😂
Also- The wigs- IVE COSPLAYED PROFESSIONALLY FOR 5 YEARS- BEST ADVICE- STORE THEM IN THE BAGS! They tangle sooooo easily!!! And got2b is the best hair spray if she ever wants to start styling them!
Maybe the kids would enjoy going to conventions. There’s fanime in San Jose in may and anime expo in LA in July. I don’t know if addie would like it but the big kids hopefully would. There’s so many cosplayers and things to do!
Merry late Christmas and have a great new year. By the way can't wait to see the kids wrap their siblings presents.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS VIDEOS!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday Jess! 🎄❤ 💚
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work.
the way chris just pops in to the room
FIRST OF ALL I LOVEEE THEEEEE INTROOO BROO CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE IT THE STORY❤❤❤❤
Did lillia know when she made the comment in the boy’s room that the twins got pink and purple crocs? If not girl’s guessing game is STRONG!
Jess you light up when you’re doing things for and with your kids! You were meant to be a mom!
We celebrate Boxing Day in Canada! Malls and stuff are open and that’s when everything goes on sale/clearance! It’s kinda like our Black Friday! We have Black Friday but it’s not as big here Boxing Day is bigger and it’s a holiday so either get paid for not working or paid more for working

Hi Jesssfam happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy holidays and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
I love how she is like “where is that from “😂
Merry Christmas JesssFam.
I make that exact deluxe sugar cookie recipe every year. They are so good.
Really? I've disliked sugar cookies bc they have no taste
Ive used that sugar recipe since i was little as well. Only bummer is you have to refrigerate for a long time. I usually do overnight.
oh definitely get Kyson and Landon some knee, elbow, wrist and butt pads for snowboarding. they will definitelyyyy come in handy and will save them from some bruising♥️
As a cosplayer I am so happy to see, younger poeple getting in to the hobby, but i will admit i dont do any anime characters, I do mostly movie and tv show characters and mostly DC.

I absolutely love Mimi’s cookbook, I have the same one! We grew up using it all the time too!

That cookbook. My mother in law had the same one. I accidentally threw it away and she was asking for the stuffing recipe in it. She swears its the bestest ever.
Kyson: I hit my BUTT while snowboarding and it’s hurts really bad right now
I don’t know why this is so funny to me
i have that betty crocker cook book too! much smaller but it was a gift from my grandmother! she used to make dozens beyond dozens of cookies to ship to us and the other grandkids!
happy late Christmas!
Lillias smile is so contagous
My mom has the same cookbook! Looks like you all had a super fun Christmas ❤
