Alex was right. The tree was great. You should listen to him all the time. I promise, Alex is not paying for this comment. Merry Christmas guys.
Keep going Clare - Vlogmas rocks.
The modern Christmas tree, originated in western Germany. The main prop of a popular medieval play about Adam and Eve was a “paradise tree,” a fir tree hung with apples, that represented the Garden of Eden. The Germans set up a paradise tree in their homes on December 24, the religious feast day of Adam and Eve. They hung wafers on it (symbolizing the eucharistic host, the Christian sign of redemption); in a later tradition the wafers were replaced by cookies of various shapes. Candles, symbolic of Christ as the light of the world, were often added. In the same room was the “Christmas pyramid,” a triangular construction of wood that had shelves to hold Christmas figurines and was decorated with evergreens, candles, and a star. By the 16th century the Christmas pyramid and the paradise tree had merged, becoming the Christmas tree
"I'm twelve..." That's one of the reasons why we all follow you!
One tip a tree seller here told me to do to keep the tree hydrated is to use straight hot water. He said it dissolves the sap that collects at the cut stump and allows the tree to absorb the water for longer. He was right!! That was the first year our tree stayed green, smelling wonderful, and almost no needle fallout.
My wife had a Picasso-like 'blue-phase'. A few years ago, she created the "morose tree"... blue lights, blue ornaments. I helped more the year after.
Was there white or silver color? It could have been a Hanukkah tree.
I have blue lights with seashells sprayed with glitter 😊
I appreciate the mix of “Yay festive” and “I’m just over it today” mix of vibes because I relate so much 😆😵💫
The Christmas tree is absorbed from the winter solstice party. They put stuff on the tree then burned it at the end of the night.
Maybe a video talking about and showing the standard Christmas fare stalls. Like is there a standard set of booths that you find at most of them?
Also youtube recommended your geography quiz. A round 2 would be great!!
😅 to the geography.
Yes to the Christmas market!
I do have a question for you is there a Chirstmas tradition that if you were the ghost from Christmas's Past if you looked thru the window you would self comment now thats an Irish family. Tree looks nice well done. In response to your question about the Christmas Tree tradition. Both the protestant and catholic traditions lay claim to the first Christmas Tree, while many tie it to ancient pagan rituals. The first documented Christmas tree originated during the Middle Ages in Germany and has ties to the Garden of Eden. Pagans would bring fir trees into their homes at Yuletide because it represented everlasting life and fertility. The Yule tree is decorated with lights, candles, and other festive ornaments to celebrate the return of light after dark days. Best to all as always, scritches for Miss Millie.
What??? An Irish woman in a foul temperament and not in the mood? That's a new one...🤣🤣🤣 Poor Alex just doin his best to save Christmas from the grinch I guess lol. The man can do no wrong I tell ya. lol. Tree looks great guys! Thanks for putting in the work for Vlogmas Clisare. I hope you two have a wonderful holiday
The tree BEAUTIFUL !
Were all still 12 inside. “Be gentle with yourself, your inner child still lives with you” Merry Merry Miss C.! 🎄 👋
Jaysus Clare...the look from the tag game. I hope Alex is still breathing...LOL!
I haven't bought a Christmas tree in years.... possibly decades. And now, you & Alex have motivated me in getting one. So thank you both. I NEED to change and I want to make Christmas special this year! Thanks for the video, Clare!
I love that you show us the genuine well roundedness of Claire. Always be, do and show the real you that we love 🎉🎉🎉
Q/A:
1. What is the worst Christmas dish ever brought to a potluck lunch/dinner?
2. Best non-traditional Christmas movie & why?
3. What is your elf name?
4. Worst place to spend Christmas?
5. Best Christmas crooner & song?
dammit I was already beaten to the first grinch shout out so.... I guess that was all of the clever I possessed today - love from Arizona 💚
Vlogmas is like watching It’s a wonderful life every year-a must that never grows old
Beautiful tree !!!!! 🎄🎁🎄 Don't worry , everyone gets grumpy this time of year ! Have fun and stay safe ! 💚❤️❄️🦌✨🧊🎅🤶🥶⛄☃️🌨️
Beautiful tree! I love that type of pine tree, its my favorite. I don't like these thick bushy ones.......I mean you can't really HANG anything on it, the ornaments just LAY there. But on these, theres space between the branches and ornaments can actually hang there, and look dazzling!
He picked a GREAT tree! I hope it stays beautiful for a long time.
I’ve been wondering why you hadn’t shown us your Christmas Tree yet.
I’m glad Alex put his foot down and said “wife!… we are doing the tree TODAY! Mostly surprised you capitulated. Hope it helps you get in more of the Christmas spirit! But, one would think, after already having gone to not one, but TWO Christmas parties already this season.
Always enjoy your video’s and the fact you share your life with the world. Good, bad, or grinchy.
Curious, what is the thing this year with a truck and a Christmas tree?
Hey, how about a ride around town looking at the Christmas lights and decorations? That could be fun!
😊🎄🤶🏻🎅
She saw the red truck thing on either TikTok or Instagram. They're everywhere here. But apparently not in Ireland 😅. If I had known sooner, I would've sent her something, but she hasn't said exactly what she's looking for, either. An ornament? Pillows? Just a little ceramic décor item?
Funny you should ask about Christmas trees. I recently went down the rabbit hole on that them. You can thank Prince Albert for bringing candle lit trees to the UK. Germany had been doing it for centuries at that point. Decorating trees goes all the way back to ancient Egypt although they were celebrating winter solstice but close enough.
Getting a Christmas tree is one of those things that's mainly fun after the fact. The process of choosing a tree I quite like, carrying it and fitting it into your car is not so much fun with it sticking right into your face and then trying to get it stable enough in the stand when they haven't cut the base off straight for you and your handsaw is like 70 years old and so you end up having to tie it to your curtain rail AND somehow get it to be straight and after all of that it breaks you out into hives all up your arms from touching the damn thing....Well that's another story. I swear, if it wasn't so pretty and festive and smelled so nice I would never bother. 😂
"You can stop filming now I think."
Yeahhh best to stop filming after a look like that xD
I love seeing Alex in his Green Bay Packers hat. 💜
As i said on a recent video, Alex is a saint.😊
I thought of you on the weekend! I was in my local Walmart (and I'm in Northern Ontario, Canada), and was having a roam around looking for little odds and bobs to use as stocking stuffers for my adult children. Passing a long shelf of various decoration, sure enough, there he was! If we've got 'em in Canada, surely there must be one in Ireland, somewhere!
I haven’t put up a tree in many years. It was too much of a hassle to barricade it from my dogs so I stopped. They would chew up all the decorations 😑. Do they have any holiday markets near you? Go out for some drinks with friends and do a bit of shopping. Try that bus thing with Alex again and maybe the bus will be fixed.
You two did a very nice job on that tree 🎄
You are entitled to have your own unicorn 🦄 holder for your ear pods. No matter your age. 😉
The look along with the tone that you gave Alex when asking him to stop filming. I was scared! :)
Grenchy Clisare ???
Say it isn’t so my sweet Colleen ?😊❤
Cheers From California 😊
Your chokers are awesome. Having a tree and baubles for it is a luxury. Be sure to appreciate it.
One day do a Millie vlog-mas.
Put a GoPro camera on Millie’s

You mentioned questions for a Q&A video or live stream on youtube, I have a question, do you and Alex like to take the piss out of each other? I actually like the witty banter between you two, Alex definitely knows how to press your buttons and vice versa LOL. That's probably one of the biggest things I look forward to in your vlogs Next Step would be all of the beautiful sights and things to do in Ireland. Just wish for the life of me I could come over there and visit the country
Very pretty tree ❤ I always dread putting up our tree, then I see all of my ornaments, the memories are worth the work. ❤
The tree looks great and yes a live Q and A would be great! Happy Holidays Clisare and Alex
Your tree looks lovely and the chokers and unicorn case are so cute.
Can you please never stop these vlogs even after Christmas they are so real and the best!! Haha x
Clisare love your tree 🎄 looks nice and chubby 😄 . Do vlogmas of what those Druids were doing celebrating Yule 🎄🪵 ❤
I felt the same way this year, about putting up the tree... but I have these things called, cooter goblins. They deserve it and I had to peel off my grinch skin to put the damn thing up😂
Love you and Alex♡
Pretty tree! Would love to see what the Naughty Snowman Workshop is all about; looks like fun! 😉⛄️😂
Your tree looks wonderful 🧑🏻🎄🎅🏻.
Been awhile since I’ve watched your videos. That only means, I’ve got some fun catching up. Alex, you were pushing her buttons at Tag lol 😂
Merry Christmas to you guys and Millie too ❤
Clare, I feel if I lived in Ireland and I was 30 years younger we would be best friends but alas I live 5000 miles away and im old enough to be your mother. I’ll guess I’ll have to sit here with my cup of tea and just enjoy your vlogs and watch you when you’re on Try from my couch. Keep up the good work!
Salutations Claire
As always entertaining and adorable, even when you are in a mood
it is a very nice tree. Just hope it does not interfere with that door opening.
The tradition of bringing trees inside to decorate came from Protestant Christians in the Baltic Nations and parts of Central Europe (Estonia, what is now Latvia, Germany, Austria, etc. Moravian Christians introduced the idea of illuminating the tree with candles. (thou I wonder how they kept the tree and house from burning. hehehe) it was eventually replaced with string of lights after electricity was mass produced. Yet, the use of the tree is considered more a Lutheran Tradition.
Great video. Glad you did it. Alex is a good man. Made you do it probably trying to help you improve your mood and mental health. Tree looks lovely too. I miss having live trees at Christmas but they are not easy to get when you live in a country that doesn’t observe it. Thanks for vlogmassing!
The custom of hanging things from trees comes from Estonia where trees in 1400s were set on fire by a local group of guilds men (the black heads) to cheer up the locals. The older guildsmen of the town did not like this as it could have set the town on fire, so following years they forbid setting tree on fire and so they put candles in glass jars hanging from the trees. And thus the hanging of decorations and lights on Christmas trees.
And Estonian tradesmen were Germanic and thus probably why it was also a tradition later in Germany also.
Where I live, there are tall nutcrackers scattered in the main town. Hahahahaha Your video is getting me in the Christmas spirit! Thanks for the vlog!!!
Not once did ( eye ) see a dram or two of Irish whiskey to help decorate the tree…so I went ahead and had them for you cheers and have a Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. By the way cold has a different feel here🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Nice tree! Sometimes we have to push through the bad to end up in the good.
Alex is so even keeled, at least on camera. I have to say, "Angry" Clare kind of scares me! :)
You all have a safe and blessed Christmas, the unicorn is awesome.🎄
As always, great content, Clare! Loving every Vlogmas post!
Using the lipgloss cover for your airpods is so smart! Such a cute cover :)
The tree looks so pretty!! 🎄🥰
Thanks for sharing your Holiday season with us!
Britney Spears once said ... Christmas is the time of year where we sit round a dead tree, singing carols and eating candy out of a sock
That tree is stunning 🎄❤️
perfect cute little round Christmas tree..... i love it
Merry and Happy Christmas!
Ha! I waited long enough for you settle my curiosity about the choker with having to ask! Question: Do you do any special sweet baking for the holidays?
Great job guys! It looks amazing
Love the tree. Love the case. Merry Christmas.
The tree looks great!
Thanks for the video. The tree looks good & keep up the good work.
A live Q&A should include Alex !
Tree woes, I feel ya! Nice vlogmas
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
I can't think of any questions. Yes Christmas trees are odd, but I love them. Along with all the lights and ornaments I put a Predator in mine. Yes, the Predator from the movies. He's close to the top just watching. And it's fucking hilarious. Thank you so much!
I went to an ornament swap this year for the first time. I didn't see anything that would go on my tree, since I mostly use seashells sprayed with glitter and blue lights. But someone had donated an ornament from the national lampoon Christmas vacation, it's a metal ornament of cousin Eddie's R V. I quickly texted my niece and she said she wanted it, so when my turn came, instead of picking a gift, I went and stole that one!
Tree is very pretty❣🎄☃🎁
I love the contrast in attitudes! While I must admire Alex's noble efforts to preserve the holiday spirit, I also must admit that I'm on your side. I was over the holiday season a month ago. Christmas cheer feels mandatory, somehow. I have exactly one holiday decoration in my place: Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. That's a tiny artificial tree, with one small red ornament hanging off it, just like in the cartoon. That's enough Xmas cheer for me, outside of what comes in a bottle from my favorite distillery. Thanks for sharing this fun video with us! PS: the purple hat looks great on you!
I hate putting up the tree and decorating it. Love the end result, though.
My Christmas tree is fake, we just take it out of the cupboard upstairs every year. We could get a real tree but we'd end up like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.😂
The tree looks great! I'll admit, all my life i have been against fake ones but a few years ago my mom bought one and it couldn't be easier to set up. Then again, you don't get that amazing smell.
Kinky snowman shouts Dermet and Ciara
Lovely vlog, as always.
Sides of Claire that we didn't expect to see 🤣😂
Nutcrackers!!
I like the live Q/A idea.
Beautiful 🎄
Two thoughts I had watchin this. Gettin the Christmas tree unwrapped and set up by your window (well done!) reminded me instantly of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and your just married ornament with 'CLALEX' on it made me think of some sort of baddie on Doctor Who which is funny because I had never watched that show until recently 😆
I just went to an ornament swap last weekend for the first time. And the only one there that people weren't fighting over was an ornament of cousin. Eddie's R. V. It's steel and pretty heavy. And I texted my niece to see if she wanted to because she adores that movie!
@@LindaC616 That's hysterical. I don't normally put up a tree but I would want it as well 😆
@drew-gf4ng I mostly do seashells ornaments on my tree and the only 2 at the party that would have fit were a huge ball of coral dyed Aqua green, which would have been too big and a hand blown glass ornament from the glass workers downtown. Which was crystal and navy blue and my guess was that that glass ornament was very large and probably heavy should have been a paper weight. I decided to make my niece happy and give her cousin Eddie's R. V.! They named their dog Fast Eddie. Because his original name was Buddy and every time her husband said. "Hey, buddy, come here", both his two-year-old son and the dog would come! 😄 So they needed a new name for him. They had adopted him just before Christmas. They decided to call him "Fast Eddy" because he's fast and because he crashed their Christmas like Cousin Eddie!
France and Greece have the ship for decoration and exchange gifts at Saint-Nicola day
You have a beautiful tree. Your game will return in the coming year near Spring. Athletes “talk trash” to one another. Even if it’s vicious it is harmless.
So had to tell you the funniest (or funny to me) thing, I guess I talk about your videos alot because my mom said, "why don't we invite your friend Clare to the Christmas party?" Must mean you are a phenomenal you tuber😉 Had to try and stifle my laugh and say, " I don't think she could make it, but I will let her know she was invited. Hahhaa😂
Yay for a homey vlog 🎉😊
I love a real tree!
Going to give us an update on more puppies or a bairn? You dropped the subject, I wouldn’t ask but you started it 😂❤❤❤
That's some way to ask if I've found out I can't have kids yet 🙃
I've opted out of putting up a tree this year. Ours is a faux prelit. I'm usually grumpy with the setup and tear down. Just not feeling it.
Jesus what a fat one 😂😂 what a tree. I love how you guys get a real tree. I must say I really wasn't arsed this year 😂😂. My daughter is 12 nearly 13 so a different vibe this year.. she gave up decorating about 10 minutes in 🫣🫣
Oh the head on you at the tag rugby video 😂😂😂.
I used to love chokers back in the day 😂😂. I wouldn't be able to pull it off these days I must say..
I love your videos 🥰
For the vlog : I don't feel Christmassy this year, I've put some decorations up but still no tree.
For the Q&A : 1. Do you have a P.O. box so we could send you stuff?
2. Would you like to travel outside of the EU? If so, where?
beautiful tree
Hello Clisare. Will you be doing anything "live" over the Christmas holidays? Much thanks from a fan in Canada. Terry.
who thought of Christmas trees? It was the Germans who thought up that tradition...It came over to the UK during Queen Victoria's time cause her "husband made her do it" as he was German.
Live Q&A yes please! ❤ from Galway
I enjoy the dog and flower sweatshirt (on a side note)
but my question is this lol: will there ever be... could there ever be ... lol a video of you and alex breaking out into interpretive dance ?
Alex, *dancing*?! 😅
the christmas tree comes from the pagan midwinter solstice.
The videos are so much better when Alex is in them. When is he going to have his own channel?
Never because he can’t film, can’t edit, can’t use RUclips, doesn’t want to, the list goes on
And the #1 comment you *don't* wanna hear putting up a tree is..."Timber"!
I'm 12 at heart too, no worries!!!
I feckin' HATE christmas. I'm willing enough to do get-togethers with senior members of our families, but now that the kids are gone, I thankfully no longer have to celebrate it in my house. I've even corrupted my partner, so at most I have to put up with a few lights for a couple of days.
I do, however, celebrate solstice and equinox--a habit that developed when we were farming. The movement of the seasons seems far more worth paying attention to than some stupid made up day.
