I had a very long day at work. Absolutely exhausted.. But knowing that I've got Josie's first day of Xmas vlogmas waiting for me is what kept me going ❄️✨
Well Josie, I thought your wedding was the most beautifully decorated venue I've ever seen, but your floristry extravaganza is definitely a serious contender! These guys are such talented artists, it is absolutely breathtaking!!! The colours, the combinations, all is stunning! Excessive, but stunning!!!❤❤❤ It's as you've brought the outside inside!!!💫
hi Josie just watched this and want to say it was wonderful, your home is amazing and i will be watching all your other vlogs, i felt like I was almost in the Cotswolds watching it it's so beautiful xx❤
The amount of work you guys put into these vlogs is just incredible. I think this is one of the loveliest sides of the internet. I hope you know how much joy you bring to people all over the world❤
I have quietly enjoyed watching you both for years and I am now watching with my 7 year old granddaughter who loves to watch whenever she comes for a sleepover! She says, ‘please Grammy, can we watch Josie?’ It’s our little tradition 🇨🇦
Both of you make talking to camera look so natural, but it in skill and the ease and relaxed vibe of your videos I’m sure is due to a lot of behind the scenes work by you and your team combined with personal skills of you & Charlie. As a viewer I really appreciate it - thank you
This is a message for Charlie. This year my daughter turns 18 on the 23 of december. So i thought i will make her an advent calendar . I thought i am so original and amazing. It turns out, probably you put this in my head last year and subconsciously it came out this year. I want to thank you. I think is a great idea and i loved putting it together.
Last year your Vlogmas was what inspired me to be happy and positive for my mom's last Christmas. This year is the first one without her and honestly, I'm sure you'll lift my spirits up again. One day after another. Thank you for that, Josie. I appreciate you
...so sorry, its horrid I know, have happy thoughts of Mum It's OK to have tears, it means you Loved Someone once said that me, makes me smile Wishing you the best ❤
LOVE the intro, and LOVE your vlogmas each year. When other “content creators “ say they don’t have time for vlogmas and are finishing vlogging early, our beautiful Josie not only creates wonderful vlogmas videos but she actually increases the videos to every day! You are an absolute Star 🌟 Josie xxx
What a gorgeous installation for Christmas. You hire wonderfully creative talented florists Josie. Charlie’s gift to you is so thoughtful Charlie. The photo albums is beautiful and to be cherished. How lucky you are Josie to have Charlie in your life supporting you 😊
The house is so beautiful and interesting. It’s like a blink slate when it comes to ideas for anytime during the year let alone Christmas. So enjoyable, watching what you turn the home into during Christmas and some of the clothing that you like I didn’t used to like to wear creams or white or light colors like that because I just felt that was too clumsy to wear them and that they didn’t look good on me, but I never really gave them much of a chance either since I’ve been watching your Vlogs. I’ve tried them out and they do work for me. Some whites and creams actually do work for me and I’m bold enough to wear them now. Thank you great ideas. Great content so much fun. And I live in the United States in New Mexico, so I would never see an English countryside without seeing it on television or RUclips or some content that someone was making available for me to see I live in a completely different part of the world.
Dear Josie your friends and floral set design team Nem Sam and Martina are one of a kind in kindness and of course talent (as your wedding showcased their talent) Christmas should be a true showstopper. ❤❤❤
Only 10 minutes in but this vlog has already brightened my mood tremendously. This makes me want to get into the festive spirit myself and decorate the house and have nice chai lattes. Thank you for sharing and inspiring others to do nice things for themselves as well as others. The world is so dark at times, it can be so necessary to bring in some light where you can. Enjoy your first married Christmas!
I am not sure I will ever get through this vlog because all I want to do is replay and replay and replay the intro. It's like the start and end of a magical romantic Christmas movie and I absolutely adore it 🤍❤
The intro and outro are stunning Josie-I love all the wonderful Christmas foliage at your home too! All I want for Christmas is...a coffee table book by you and Charlie of your home, interior decorating, the garden, places to go in the Cotswolds and your styling tips (it would need to feature Dexter and Dickens too without a doubt). That would be truly amazing. 🎄
Hey Josie. Having followed you for a number of years now and, at the tender age of 62, having a partner dump you for someone else and feeling so alone please please please NEVER stop enjoying what Charlie does for you. He is a wonderful man and you are very blessed. As is he to have you, but, as a man he does have an immense amount of qualities.
@loopielou4426 I'm so very sorry to read about your devastating situation. I really have a lot of empathy for you, and I truly hope you have a great support system of family and friends who you can rely on. 🙏🏻 I found myself in a similar position when I was 32 and a mum to a 2 year old son. Our worlds were turned upside-down, though at the time, both of us being much younger was a definite advantage to help us start a new life. I'm now 59, and I can not imagine starting my life over now, so my heart really does go out to you. I truly hope that you will find peace and happiness in the coming months and years. ❤
Hi I lost my lovely hubby in July 2021 he was only 46 I am still devastated 😢 so so sad ... I always loved Christmas but sadly my sparkle has gone 😢 I’m 66 he was a lot younger than me but we were so happy 😀 now I have to navigate my life alone !!! So like you say please love and cherish all your time together 🥰. I have just subscribed to your channel you are a beautiful couple with a beautiful home xxx
@@mandyreardon2177 Oh Mandy how lovely of you to take the time to pen those words thank you so much and I feel for you at that time with a child. My goodness that is hard. I do have my father, 89 but still very fit and we lost my mum while this was all going on we were nursing her to keep her at home. I do, as you ask, have a good friend network so I am blessed in that way. Being an I not we is something I have no idea how I;ll cope with but I am out there trying. And lovely people like you helps too. x
@@jackiebowman3906 Bless you Jackie. The pain must be devastating. We have just lost my mum as dad and I were caring for mum thoughout this time and seeing him without her after 64 years is just awful. Bless you.. a day at a time x
Your florist is amazing!! I love his style and yours and Charlie’s!! You put your heart and soul into it….snd it truly shows! Your vlogmas always helps keep get into the mood even though I’m currently alone…love love love 💕
Hi Josie and Charlie xx I have been watching your channel for about 5 years now and after initially catching up with your glamorous and sparkly life in London fell in love with the Cotswolds and your beautiful home and life xx Due to my husbsnd's health have not been able to travel but you bring the Cotswolds to me xx Just watched Day 1 of vlogmass and wow what a magical intro and cosy time adding the wild floral decorations xx 🤓💕
I’ve literally lost count of how many years I’ve watched Vlogmas on your channel. I’m starting my 8th Vlogmas on my channel so this has to be the 8th or 9th year I’m watching on yours because I’m pretty sure I found you a little before I started my own channel. It’s wild how the time has flown. Happy start of Vlogmas Josie and Charlie! ❤
Hi Josie and Charlie, looking forward very much to seeing your videos about anything you do. Absolutely love it all. Your home is so inviting and christmassy . Looking forward to the cooking, the mince pie tasters, shopping, table setting, etc. thank you for helping me to take my mind off horrible things that we are dealing with at the moment. Thank you so much. Take care and look after each otherxxxxxx
Here in New Mexico in the United States our tradition for Christmas Eve consist of red chili posole it’s a type of a stew. It’s absolutely delicious. A company with tortilla flour tortillas. Tamales red chili tamales made out of pork meat shredded absolutely delicious. If you’ve never tried them you should Google them and try it someday they are absolutely delicious. You would not regret it. You might even have a new tradition. It’s a New Mexican tradition. Absolutely delicious. Something that may be very foreign to you, but I believe some of these dishes, you could just fall in love with the way we have
A very thoughtful gift… ❤️. My parents were married in 1968 and they have a similar wedding album. They have passed away, and me and my brother still cannot get over how beautiful the photos look and how the album still looks brand new. Excellent Day 1 Intro and Outro! 🫶🏾
What a beautiful home you have. The seasonal decorations celebrate the beauty of nature and are just spectacular. Please consider making a gingerbread house for Vlogmass. Charlie is so thoughtful.
That little thief Dickens! So funny. The intro is spectacularly beautiful. It showcases how lovely your home and the area are. Simply looking forward to seeing what you, Charlie and the boys get up to this year.
I never cease to be amazed by the lack of traffic on the roads that you all travel. I know people live in the Cotswold communities because I’ve visited. But where do they go during the day? Where do they shop? Even some of the towns we went through had hardly any traffic midday!
What a brilliant start to vlogmas Josie! The floral installation and Christmas wreaths are stunning! I’m really looking forward to watching you, Charlie, Dexter and Dickens decorate the tree and watching the rest of vlogmas. Thank you! xx
My absolute favourite vlogmaser ❤ I was a newly single mum this time last year with two little boys and you and Charlie sharing your beautiful home and Christmas brightened up my rather teary days. Will be following along this year from a much happier place but thank you to you both ❤
Wow those florists are unbelievable that'd be my dream decor and it suits your home so well. Enjoy doing your album together that's such a sweet plan by Charlie 😊
From the best wedding of 2023 to the best vlogmas 2023! Everything looks gorgeous! I mean Everything! ❤❤So excited for tomorrow!❤❤ replayed the intro 3 times!
I’m just super excited to see my favourite Josie and her lovely family , friends and doggies . Honestly you’re the most authentic genuine person. I love all your content especially vlogmas ❤✨🎄✨❤️
Charlie is such a sweetheart with the advent calendar tradition. Always extremely thoughtful and love the little back stories and reasons why he’s selected the present. Lovely couple xxxx
Josie and Charlie your home just gets more stunningly beautiful every year, and Dexter and Dickens make my heart melt seeing them run around together. Thank you for such wonderful vlogs not just Vlogmas but all year ones too, I love seeing the changing seasons in the Cotswolds especially the winter with Christmas vibes.Cant wait to see what’s in the advent calendar this year, Josie your so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband🎅🎄🤶PS Greggs mince pies deserve a try x
I had tears in my eyes while watching the intro 😢I’ve been waiting for it the whole year! Last year during Vlogmas I found out I was pregnant and this vlogmas I’m watching with my baby boy. This is my favourite time of the year ❤
This is my 3rd vlogmus with you both ❤ my wish for you both is that you take the time to be together and enjoy this wonderful time of year! Take good care of each other 😘
I stopped when you were grabbing your coffee and made my own gingerbread-inspired latte to enjoy while I watched the rest. This was exactly what I needed! The florals just have me in the most festive transformation (and I'm far more of a Grinch than a Buddy the Elf!). Gosh, I love Christmas in the Cotswolds!
Been behind on the vlogs lately…going through a messy breakup rn Josie😭😭. Watching Vlogmas every year always makes me happier😊. Been counting down the days to see your vlogmas intro🎄❄️. Each year it gets better and better. This year doesn’t disappoint😍. Seeing the love you and Charlie have for each other with such a thoughtful advent calendar makes me hope I’ll find someone like that one day🥺🥺. Can’t wait to spend a month seeing Christmas in the Cotswolds. Truly such a magical time🤍🤍
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! You have the best vlogmas! I would like to see more videos of Dickens eating Josie's sweet bun hidden in her bag (lol)! You Christmas traditions inspire me! For the first time in 7 years, I've fully decorated our home. Counting the hours until your next vlog installment! May God bless you all!
So excited for your Vlogmas! It always gets me in the spirit even though I live in the southern hemisphere . Charlie made me cackle with his 'it will fit photos from your next wedding too', reminds me of my Brother-in-Law who introduces my sister as his 'First Wife'!
Beautiful Holiday vlog, Josie! Adore the intro. And out-tro. The floral installation is beyond gorgeous! They are truly artists creating pure magic! Love how you share this beautiful season with us, in your home and the wonderful Cotswolds! ❤️
🥰 Awwww loved the intro, outro, and the floral installments and wreaths…a holiday extravaganza! Excited for every bit of your Christmas in the Cotswolds. The mince pie chat was a charming conclusion to this delightful first day of Vlogmas!
Josie I can’t tell you the number of times I wanted to click on the like button just to show how much I was enjoying this video only to realize I’d already hit the like button ages ago. Such a lovely video and your lovely energy was so needed today. Thank you for doing this! Happy holidays!
Hi Josie, My hubby and I will be flying over from Australia 🇦🇺 and spending Christmas 🎄 in the Cotwolds! Looking forward to seeing your wonderful Christmas Vlogs! Getting very excited!
Beautiful home! 🎄 Had to mention my husband and I tried our first mince pie. They were amazing! We will have to get more of those to celebrate the season just as you and Charlie do. Merry Christmas!
Wow! I almost have no words (😅). Your home becomes even more spectacular at Christmas. Well done all. Can’t wait for the next 24 days. Funny moment had to be that little cinnamon bun sausage thief. Thanks Dexie. ♥️💚🎄
OMG Josie you did not disappoint!!! Fabulous intro and outro, I love seeing the stunning views a round your beautiful home. The festive install is unreal!!! Gorgeous 🎄 Gorgeous 🎄Gorgeous 🎄 Thank you so much for this wonderful inspirational vlog 👏👏
Josie and Lydia Millen are so similar! I enjoy watching both channels, but Josie is more of a pink girly like me, so I'm always drawn to her clothing hauls because of her beautiful upstairs wardrobe with pink en suite bathroom. Absolute style, sophistication, glamour, and class!
Wow what can I say? It's truly magical so much thought has gone into this.Tasty Co op irresistible Black forest mince pies are delicious.Would buy them again. Thank you, Josie & and Charlie, the intro & ending is like a film want to watch more.❤😊
Everything is absolutely spectacular! I love floral design & decor as you. You have the exact same taste as myself. I absolutely love decorating the entire house with fresh greenery & foliage for Christmas. Unfortunately my health is not good this Christmas and I'm not able to decorate. Being able to watch your Vlogmas and enjoy Christmas through you has really helped. I'm so grateful you shared the behind the scenes because it really helped me feel apart of decorating, my favorite part, so thank you! Also I definitely can appreciate Charlie's eye to detail when decorating the Christmas tree. I'm the exact same. My family gets a little annoyed with me because they will hang an ornament and I will come and move it to another location, lol. I have a serious method to decorating my tree. I had to have a couple smaller trees that the children could decorate because everyone knew the main big tree was mom's tree. Happy Holidays Josie & Charlie I'm looking so forward to this vlogmas, you're really the only thing that's given me some Christmas cheer since I've been so down this season.
Your outside is absolutely stunning and breath taking wow I miss home when I see this I live in Australia and it doesn’t feel like that here when you have heat at xmas🎄 🎅🏼🇦🇺
Absolutely perfect yet again this has definitely cheered my spirits up merry Christmas 🎄 Josie & Charlie & the furry babies this was absolutely dreamy 🎄🎄🎄💫💫💫🥰🥰🥰Xxx
I can’t even….. I would never leave your glorious home with these magical Holiday floral installs!!! I’m blown away!!! ❤LOVE IT ALL!! Oh and please keep getting your rest etc Dear Charlie, I still hear some flight congestion/stuffiness! But glad you’re back in the videos and STILL got the advent calendar together!!! Love it all….. here we go a Vlogmas-ing!!! Hooray ❤❤🌲🌲
You are the Queen of Vlogmas Josie. You love what you do and it shows. This video is sooooo cozy and christmasy. 10/10 Please don’t take it the wrong way but while I was watching, I imagined two children around you and Charlie around the Christmas tree 🎄. You two are a wonderful couple and I am sure you are going to be wonderful parents. ❤️❤️
I live in Miami and definitely do not have the pleasure of experiencing a full, glorious Christmas-in-the-country such as this! Thank you so much for providing it with such style and skill. Since discovering you on RUclips, my week would not be complete without one of your fantastic videos! You and Charlie are a true inspiration.
“Your home was meant to be enjoyed”. Amen to that Charlie! Yay! So excited with this vlog and the floral decor! 🤩🤩🤩 Love the spectacular intro! 😍🥰 They get better and even more pro every year. Gorgeous. ❤🎄🤍
Love this! It’s my first time watching your vlogmas!! Perhaps take some time out just the two of you (an hour or two a week?) in the New Year to go through your wedding album together, and also look back at just how much you’ve achieved over the last few years? Amazing! 💫 Lots of love Tasha-Jane 💫
I watched the intro a half dozen times. At one point I stopped the video and showed my husband your beautiful village - he said, "When can we move there?". I wasn't expecting your first vlogmas until Sunday so seeing this on a Friday was fantastic. Hello from SC.
Love watching vlogmas my first time. I am English but live in the United States so I love watching anything to do with England especially this time of year. And what us special Home you have and decorated so well can’t wait to see the rest.❤
I am running behind, absolutely love the into, can’t believe Josie in black dress, loved everything about you, your house and vlogmas. We dont even celebrate Christmas but I am buying fresh tree since last 2 years ha ha ha!
This is my first video experience of your Vlog. It popped on my RUclips feed. I am from Connecticut, USA Just subscribed and would like to see more of Christmas in the Cotswolds, both inside, outside your home and village. Living in a 14th century house is incredible.
Dear Josie and Charlie,the house looks incredible and so festive..I cannot wait for the mince pie competition 🤤I love mince pies but we do not have them in my country,therefore I bake my own every year.I am so looking forward to every day now when I sit in front of my decorated and lit Christmas tree and watch your vlogmas videos😍Thank you so much for making the waiting time til Christmas so special...Keep well and great health to all of you xxx
I am new to your vogs, I just watched you for the first time. I am a flower arranger so I loved seeing the transformation of your stunning home. I am looking forward to seeing more vogs and picking up previous vlogs.
Really happy to end my week watching your Christmas Season vlogmas. …. I did not know your home was 14th century! It will be beautifully decorated for the season we know! Your flower and nurserymen do extraordinary artistry with greenery. Your manicure and massage sound truly heavenly… … they do a lovely job with nails. I am certain this will be an amazing first Christmas as a married couple! Maybe one day in the future we will see a little Josie & a little Charlie to add to your family and Christmas celebrations!😘 Blessings !! Let the Christmas Season begin!❤🎄🎉❤️🎄❄️
I love your home, especially the Christmas trimmings!! Absolutely stunning! Someday if I come to Great Britain, I so want to visit the Cotswold during the holidays. I keep telling my sister that we have to rent your Strawtop cottage. Charlie, you are such a sweet husband to create the advent/birthday gifts to your beautiful, Josie! Love it!!

It’s astonishing the amount of forethought and effort that Charlie must put into your calendar each year. Well done Charlie !!! Such a sweet hubby.
He is a total Gem, but then again he's a lucky man! ♥️♥️ Happy Festive Season Everyone! Love, your cousin from The States!
Jup. Mine won‘t wven bother with a present 😂
I had a very long day at work. Absolutely exhausted.. But knowing that I've got Josie's first day of Xmas vlogmas waiting for me is what kept me going ❄️✨
Ah I hope this makes your day a little better!!
Sooooooo well done, Josie...just Gorgeous everything and it's just day 1!!!!❤❤❤❤
Well Josie, I thought your wedding was the most beautifully decorated venue I've ever seen, but your floristry extravaganza is definitely a serious contender! These guys are such talented artists, it is absolutely breathtaking!!! The colours, the combinations, all is stunning! Excessive, but stunning!!!❤❤❤ It's as you've brought the outside inside!!!💫
I’m with Charlie - do the photo album together as a personal thing for you two ❤
Agree!! Do I want a sneak ? Sure lol but they gave us soooooooo much during their wedding!!
hi Josie just watched this and want to say it was wonderful, your home is amazing and i will be watching all your other vlogs, i felt like I was almost in the Cotswolds watching it it's so beautiful xx❤
Your first Christmas as a married couple how exciting
The amount of work you guys put into these vlogs is just incredible. I think this is one of the loveliest sides of the internet. I hope you know how much joy you bring to people all over the world❤

It’s our little tradition 🇨🇦
That is so sweet! Thank you!
Ok, that intro had me shed a couple of tears. Your parents (both sides) must be so proud of what you have accomplished in your young lives. Well done.
Both of you make talking to camera look so natural, but it in skill and the ease and relaxed vibe of your videos I’m sure is due to a lot of behind the scenes work by you and your team combined with personal skills of you & Charlie. As a viewer I really appreciate it - thank you

When the gardener was quiet and being a little secretive, it made my heart warm! How wonderful to be so passionate about your work.
The intro and outro are stunning Josie-I love all the wonderful Christmas foliage at your home too!

That would be truly amazing. 🎄
Love ❤️ this idea!
I think that would be amazing as a coffee table book.
Absolutely agree ... it would be the most magical coffee table books 📚
I think Charlie is wonderful for the thoughtful birthday gifts he gets for you. What a kind Hubbie!
England does Christmas at another level... I'm making it my 2024 goal to go to London next Christmastime!
I was thinking the same thing!
i'd love to see Charlie baking his favourite christmas mints pies
Hey Josie. Having followed you for a number of years now and, at the tender age of 62, having a partner dump you for someone else and feeling so alone please please please NEVER stop enjoying what Charlie does for you.

This is an epic kickoff to Vlogmas! Where are you going to go from here, seriously! Your enchanted Christmas forest is SO beautiful!!!
Josie, I am SO excited for vlogmas! Thank you so much for putting effort in vlogmas for us again!
Yay so glad you’re excited for it!

Beautiful opening Josie. Wow, the floristry. Simply stunning. Looking forward to your up & coming Vlogmas videos.
Wow those florists are unbelievable that'd be my dream decor and it suits your home so well. Enjoy doing your album together that's such a sweet plan by Charlie 😊
From the best wedding of 2023 to the best vlogmas 2023! Everything looks gorgeous! I mean Everything! ❤❤So excited for tomorrow!❤❤ replayed the intro 3 times!
I’m just super excited to see my favourite Josie and her lovely family , friends and doggies . Honestly you’re the most authentic genuine person. I love all your content especially vlogmas ❤✨🎄✨❤️
Thank you lovely Josie & Charlie for getting us into the Christmas spirit and sharing your beautiful home with us all 🥰
Charlie is such a sweetheart with the advent calendar tradition. Always extremely thoughtful and love the little back stories and reasons why he’s selected the present. Lovely couple xxxx
Josie and Charlie your home just gets more stunningly beautiful every year, and Dexter and Dickens make my heart melt seeing them run around together. Thank you for such wonderful vlogs not just Vlogmas but all year ones too, I love seeing the changing seasons in the Cotswolds especially the winter with Christmas vibes.Cant wait to see what’s in the advent calendar this year, Josie your so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband🎅🎄🤶PS Greggs mince pies deserve a try x
I had tears in my eyes while watching the intro 😢I’ve been waiting for it the whole year!
Last year during Vlogmas I found out I was pregnant and this vlogmas I’m watching with my baby boy. This is my favourite time of the year ❤
That’s so magical!
Yayyyy 2023 Christmas in the cotswold... look forwards to this every year
This is my 3rd vlogmus with you both ❤ my wish for you both is that you take the time to be together and enjoy this wonderful time of year! Take good care of each other 😘
2022 was favorite but 2023 was not far behind. I look forward to it EVERY YEAR since watching your channel!
I stopped when you were grabbing your coffee and made my own gingerbread-inspired latte to enjoy while I watched the rest. This was exactly what I needed! The florals just have me in the most festive transformation (and I'm far more of a Grinch than a Buddy the Elf!). Gosh, I love Christmas in the Cotswolds!
I was so excited about the florist arriving to decorate the house, it looks beautiful.
I would love to see some Carolers in the local church.
Been behind on the vlogs lately…going through a messy breakup rn Josie😭😭. Watching Vlogmas every year always makes me happier😊. Been counting down the days to see your vlogmas intro🎄❄️. Each year it gets better and better. This year doesn’t disappoint😍. Seeing the love you and Charlie have for each other with such a thoughtful advent calendar makes me hope I’ll find someone like that one day🥺🥺. Can’t wait to spend a month seeing Christmas in the Cotswolds. Truly such a magical time🤍🤍
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! You have the best vlogmas! I would like to see more videos of Dickens eating Josie's sweet bun hidden in her bag (lol)! You Christmas traditions inspire me! For the first time in 7 years, I've fully decorated our home. Counting the hours until your next vlog installment! May God bless you all!
So excited for your Vlogmas! It always gets me in the spirit even though I live in the southern hemisphere . Charlie made me cackle with his 'it will fit photos from your next wedding too', reminds me of my Brother-in-Law who introduces my sister as his 'First Wife'!
Beautiful Holiday vlog, Josie! Adore the intro. And out-tro. The floral installation is beyond gorgeous! They are truly artists creating pure magic! Love how you share this beautiful season with us, in your home and the wonderful Cotswolds! ❤️
🥰 Awwww loved the intro, outro, and the floral installments and wreaths…a holiday extravaganza! Excited for every bit of your Christmas in the Cotswolds. The mince pie chat was a charming conclusion to this delightful first day of Vlogmas!
Josie I can’t tell you the number of times I wanted to click on the like button just to show how much I was enjoying this video only to realize I’d already hit the like button ages ago. Such a lovely video and your lovely energy was so needed today. Thank you for doing this! Happy holidays!
That’s so very kind!
Hi Josie, My hubby and I will be flying over from Australia 🇦🇺 and spending Christmas 🎄 in the Cotwolds! Looking forward to seeing your wonderful Christmas Vlogs! Getting very excited!
Welcome
So exciting! Looking forward to the start of Vlogmas! Thank you Josie & Charlie!
Beautiful home! 🎄 Had to mention my husband and I tried our first mince pie. They were amazing! We will have to get more of those to celebrate the season just as you and Charlie do. Merry Christmas!
Wow! I almost have no words (😅). Your home becomes even more spectacular at Christmas. Well done all. Can’t wait for the next 24 days.
Funny moment had to be that little cinnamon bun sausage thief. Thanks Dexie. ♥️💚🎄
OMG Josie you did not disappoint!!!
Fabulous intro and outro, I love seeing the stunning views a round your beautiful home. The festive install is unreal!!! Gorgeous 🎄 Gorgeous 🎄Gorgeous 🎄
Thank you so much for this wonderful inspirational vlog 👏👏
Josie and Lydia Millen are so similar! I enjoy watching both channels, but Josie is more of a pink girly like me, so I'm always drawn to her clothing hauls because of her beautiful upstairs wardrobe with pink en suite bathroom. Absolute style, sophistication, glamour, and class!
They're both soooo talented. Different but similar. I watch both and two more British lifestyle vloggers.....love, from Tampa❤
💯
I was about to say am I tripping rn or what 😂 so similar
No one does Christmas and flowers like you do … not to mention the most incredible home 💕💕
To be fair the flower company does them , they are beautiful
Wow what can I say? It's truly magical so much thought has gone into this.Tasty Co op irresistible Black forest mince pies are delicious.Would buy them again. Thank you, Josie & and Charlie, the intro & ending is like a film want to watch more.❤😊
Everything is absolutely spectacular! I love floral design & decor as you. You have the exact same taste as myself. I absolutely love decorating the entire house with fresh greenery & foliage for Christmas. Unfortunately my health is not good this Christmas and I'm not able to decorate. Being able to watch your Vlogmas and enjoy Christmas through you has really helped. I'm so grateful you shared the behind the scenes because it really helped me feel apart of decorating, my favorite part, so thank you! Also I definitely can appreciate Charlie's eye to detail when decorating the Christmas tree. I'm the exact same. My family gets a little annoyed with me because they will hang an ornament and I will come and move it to another location, lol. I have a serious method to decorating my tree. I had to have a couple smaller trees that the children could decorate because everyone knew the main big tree was mom's tree. Happy Holidays Josie & Charlie I'm looking so forward to this vlogmas, you're really the only thing that's given me some Christmas cheer since I've been so down this season.
Beautiful decorations and can’t want for the finished Wedding album! 🎄🎅🏼❄️⛄️
Your outside is absolutely stunning and breath taking wow I miss home when I see this I live in Australia and it doesn’t feel like that here when you have heat at xmas🎄 🎅🏼🇦🇺
Absolutely perfect yet again this has definitely cheered my spirits up merry Christmas 🎄 Josie & Charlie & the furry babies this was absolutely dreamy 🎄🎄🎄💫💫💫🥰🥰🥰Xxx
I can’t even….. I would never leave your glorious home with these magical Holiday floral installs!!! I’m blown away!!! ❤LOVE IT ALL!! Oh and please keep getting your rest etc Dear Charlie, I still hear some flight congestion/stuffiness! But glad you’re back in the videos and STILL got the advent calendar together!!! Love it all….. here we go a Vlogmas-ing!!! Hooray ❤❤🌲🌲
You are the Queen of Vlogmas Josie. You love what you do and it shows. This video is sooooo cozy and christmasy. 10/10
Please don’t take it the wrong way but while I was watching, I imagined two children around you and Charlie around the Christmas tree 🎄. You two are a wonderful couple and I am sure you are going to be wonderful parents. ❤️❤️
I live in Miami and definitely do not have the pleasure of experiencing a full, glorious Christmas-in-the-country such as this! Thank you so much for providing it with such style and skill. Since discovering you on RUclips, my week would not be complete without one of your fantastic videos! You and Charlie are a true inspiration.
“Your home was meant to be enjoyed”. Amen to that Charlie!
Yay! So excited with this vlog and the floral decor! 🤩🤩🤩 Love the spectacular intro! 😍🥰 They get better and even more pro every year. Gorgeous. ❤🎄🤍
Wow Josie the intro is so magical, I love it! 🎄🎅🍁 x
Thank you so much!!
Love this! It’s my first time watching your vlogmas!! Perhaps take some time out just the two of you (an hour or two a week?) in the New Year to go through your wedding album together, and also look back at just how much you’ve achieved over the last few years? Amazing!
💫 Lots of love Tasha-Jane 💫
I watched the intro a half dozen times. At one point I stopped the video and showed my husband your beautiful village - he said, "When can we move there?". I wasn't expecting your first vlogmas until Sunday so seeing this on a Friday was fantastic. Hello from SC.
The intro gave me goosebumps again….I have been following you for years now. The house is looking fabulous x
Charlie you inspired me last year to do advent calendar for my kids the way you do for Josie . I will continue doing it, such a wonderful idea!❤
Love watching vlogmas my first time. I am English but live in the United States so I love watching anything to do with England especially this time of year. And what us special Home you have and decorated so well can’t wait to see the rest.❤
I am running behind, absolutely love the into, can’t believe Josie in black dress, loved everything about you, your house and vlogmas. We dont even celebrate Christmas but I am buying fresh tree since last 2 years ha ha ha!
This is my first video experience of your Vlog. It popped on my RUclips feed. I am from Connecticut, USA Just subscribed and would like to see more of Christmas in the Cotswolds, both inside, outside your home and village. Living in a 14th century house is incredible.
Dear Josie and Charlie,the house looks incredible and so festive..I cannot wait for the mince pie competition 🤤I love mince pies but we do not have them in my country,therefore I bake my own every year.I am so looking forward to every day now when I sit in front of my decorated and lit Christmas tree and watch your vlogmas videos😍Thank you so much for making the waiting time til Christmas so special...Keep well and great health to all of you xxx
So Beautiful. Really enjoy your Christmas content. Good job Charlie, you’ve been sick and still managed your calendar ❤
Oh Josie, I enjoyed that so much! This is my third Blogmas with you and I am looking forward to it. Merry Christmas!
I am new to your vogs, I just watched you for the first time. I am a flower arranger so I loved seeing the transformation of your stunning home. I am looking forward to seeing more vogs and picking up previous vlogs.
Really happy to end my week watching your Christmas Season
vlogmas. …. I did not know your home was 14th century! It will be beautifully decorated for the season we know! Your flower and nurserymen do extraordinary artistry with greenery. Your manicure and massage sound truly heavenly… … they do a lovely job with nails. I am certain this will be an amazing first Christmas as a married couple! Maybe one day in the future we will see a little Josie & a little Charlie to add to your family and Christmas celebrations!😘 Blessings !! Let the Christmas Season begin!❤🎄🎉❤️🎄❄️
Charlie I also like my mince pies cold, what a beautiful start to vlogmas and thanks for brightening up my days leading up to Christmas 🎉🎉🎉
I finally feel like Christmas is coming thanks to your vlogmas dreamy intro! 🎄❤️🙏🏾
Fabulous ! You bring joy to so many of us.
Thank you indeed !
Delightful, and always such a highlight for me each year. You two are lovely, and make everything special!!❤❤
Oh goodness, that was just heartwarming! Thank you Josie for lighting my evening. You and Charlie bring so much joy! Just stunning ❤
Yay!!! First day of vlogmas didn’t disappoint. The florals are gorgeous Josie. I’d say the best they’d ever looked.🎄🧑🏼🎄💖
I love your home, especially the Christmas trimmings!! Absolutely stunning! Someday if I come to Great Britain, I so want to visit the Cotswold during the holidays. I keep telling my sister that we have to rent your Strawtop cottage. Charlie, you are such a sweet husband to create the advent/birthday gifts to your beautiful, Josie! Love it!!
Such a magical festive start to vlogmas!!!.....the house looks stunning.....the naughty bunny pinching the bun from your bag😂😂.....❤❤
Oh wow I’ve only just found you two today, Christmas Eve, Eve………….and I’m totally hooked already! ❤️👏
