Oh, Christopher.....that quote. Yes, it says it all. It is 4 years now I have been without my husband.....my soulmate. At times, I feel so lost.....but it is the times I am alone....quiet times with myself......that I get stronger. We are all connected. Hugs to you, Stephen and sweet Bubbas. x
Hey, Christopher. The passage you've read in the book is definitely how your channel is and also when you said "No matter how your feeling connection makes you feel better" and this is true. Because, your channel brings people together. You, Steven and Bubba's have a bless night 🤗❤
Yay, it’s Vlogmas ! The advent calendars are just lovely, especially the Rituals, so pretty. The pepper and salt advent calendar is so unique, would love for you to share than one if you are willing. Love seeing Steven in these. ❤️ to you all from 🇨🇦
I lead Employee Engagement and am a Personal Coach and your channel actually provides my heart so much AND ideas for my work. It is all about Human Connection. Everything is really about that. You are so gifted. I value you SO much. and I have a little crush on Steven. Dont share. LOL. I love the banter you two have. SO MUCH LOVE!!!!! I will attend some of your connection moments for sure. You are deeply gifted. You have created something magical here. THANK YOU.
I have so been enjoying watching your vlogmases while on break at work (working nights in a hospital). I love that your focus for this year's vlogmas is on connection, simplicity and thoughtfulness - it is perfect and exactly what is needed this year. I hope to catch the next IG live, as I am sorry I was not able to make this week's live! Thank you for making the time and putting the extra effort into doing vlogmas. Also love seeing Bubbas every day! ❤️🎄🎅
After all these years you have truly become a very beloved family Christmas tradition 🤗Our Family loves you soooo much🎄 We are so grateful for the love and time you share with us💞
Watching Bubbas open his advent calendar reminds me of our dogs last year. We got the ones from Trader Joe’s and ended up having to put them far out of reach because every night they would go to the calendars and try to pull them out to eat all of the treats. December was a longggg month in that regard 🤣
Thank you so much for highllighting that passage! I lost my Mom this year and I'm truly trying to find where I connect, with my family and friends. You've got this! Thank you!
@@christopherallen It was my joy! I may post some cooking videos using it, I'll PM you on Instagram if I do. Thank YOU for sharing your greatest gift with us, your kind heart and generous spirit...
Christopher Christmas Was My Parents & Grandmothers Favorite Holiday and They are All In Heaven. When I hear Silent Night and Other Songs I Cry. I Love Your Vlogmas 2. Love How Steven was Cooking Dinner for You. He is Very Sweet. Hugs.
Ok don't hit me. In the beginning and towards the end of this vlog you looked like a grownup Ralfie from. The movie A Christmas story. 🎄 it is my most favorite movies ever.. 😊 happy vlogmas.
You truly are amazing and a real gift to others Christopher. Beautiful words you spoke about how not everyone is in the same space and so many feelings and emotions this past year. The wonderful thing is we can all be a part of something special on your channel. Your enthusiastic about vlogmas this year, is so contagious!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️
Waking up and spending my breakfast with you is always a treat! My kiddos quote you back every time, so cute! Hope everyone has a wonderful day 2 of vlogmas ❤️🎄
The passage really spoke to me, too - made me a little teary - good constructive tears, that is. ❤️ BTW, you are the best, sweetest pup parents ever - what a lucky boy. 🐕 ❤️😊🎄👏👏👏 love your vlogmas.
I think I really need to pick up this Bene Brown book…. After you read that passage, I’m even more intrigued. I’ve never read any of her books. As a busy mom of two now, I don’t get much time to read so I’m trying to finish a book for advent day 2 instead of starting a new one! Happy Reading! 💕
Yay!!! Christopher you look so rested & I am loving the decor this year. It’s great every year! This year it’s just oh so sleek & terrific. Oh you should see the way my hubby looks at me when I get an Amazon package 🤦🏽♀️. Love advent calendar 🤷🏽♀️. Never heard of it.
Last night was so much fun. It lifted my spirits so much. What a great passage. Love you, Steven, and Bubbas so much. ❤ P.S. I shared your channel with a friend and she loves it too.
I have to say I watched your Vlogmas last year and it was amazing. You are so uplifting and you are such a positive person and that joy you give off towards others just make for a great vlogmas!!! Thank you 😊 can't wait for tomorrow's vlog.
Hey I was a little scared when I checked in earlier and you weren't on yet 😒Came back and here you are❣❣I am so loving Vlogmas!! I look 👀 so forward to it ❣❣I will let you get back to laundry 😁 Another wonderful show. See you tomorrow. 😊God Bless
thank you for another wonderful and joy fill vlog, and for mentioning the passage from the book, and that no not everyone is in the same place during the holiday and that is and of itself, being so very kind :)
@@Robert-hy2qe doing all the things and inspired by this year's vlogmas! have found a place to volunteer and make a difference =Christopher Allen is brilliant in bringing out the best in his community and he is appreciated so much for that!
Look forward to every day of your vlogmas, I hope to join on your live next time too, your 10pm is my 3am so couldn’t make yesterday. Excited for what you have in store 😊, thank you Christopher for brightening my day ❤️
Hi Christopher, I hope you had a good day!! Your Vlogmas Day 2 is spectacular. Hey Bubbas. I thought about what new book I wanted to start per Day 2 of your Advent Calendar. I am revisiting an old friend. Keeping with the #selfcare theme I found and bought another hardback copy - I can’t find the one I had long ago - of Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. The books six principles are gratitude, simplicity, order, harmony, beauty and joy. Thank you for helping me stop and smell the roses. Happy Holidays Robyn
I love your beautiful spirit and enjoy watching and listening to you share words of encouragement. Looking forward to to seeing you more during vlogmas!
I really wanted to gift myself an advent calendar but it just wasn’t in the cards this year. It’s fun I can feel apart of your advent calendars and so glad you share it with us! Would like to see the spice one as well - it looks neat 🙂
It was so much fun watching Kelly''s Christmas special with you on Instagram! It was as though we were all at the same slumber party! Happy Vlogmas day 2!
I LOVED what you said about connections! I’ve always been so scared to do an Instagram live because there’s no control or editing lol! You’re inspiring me to try one! Also I need to pick up that Brene Brown book, I love her
I have wanted to start that book!!! Now that you have it here I need to go get it. Thank you for this wonderful experience here - its so meaningful and exactly what I need.
Will you do a live that is timed for Europeans to attend?🙏🙏🙏 It should be possible considering you are an early riser 😁 I'm sorry if you've covered this (I'm a couple days behind but will normally watch on the day)....
Happy vlogmas Day 2🎄 I am sad I missed the KC special and hanging out on IG. I just couldn’t stay awake. I am an office manager for a sped co-op (serving about 1000 kidos and 8 school districts) and I get there early. My second job starts when I get home. I look so forward to my evening when I can relax with my favorite YT channels. Have a great day tomorrow. See you tomorrow evening.
Christopher: "What color is it? You didn't even show us!!!!!" Steven: "It's green. " HAHAHA, exactly the way my husband I would be if I let him help me with my Cali dog's advent calendar ROFL. He would just rip it open and give it to her without letting me see it. This is why I take matters into my own hands when it comes to Advent calendars (ps, we also have the Meri Meri dog calendar. Loving it so far.)
Christopher, just to relax with you is such a beautiful 💕 blessing. Christopher, you are my brother from another mother, whom I love dearly. Tell Steven I do love him as well as Bubbas. What a wonderful evening spent with y'all. Sincerely with Love Lorraine 💕
I missed the concert! Oh, no! I need to get back on Instagram. I haven't looked at Instagram since my amazing significant other died on November 2nd. He was the love of my life. My grieving was really strong at the time and Instagram seemed trivial. I just couldn't do it. But! I'm doing much better and I'm ready to get back on. Now, if I only had more time in my day. Hmmm. xo~linda
We need Steven to do a review after he drinks each of Jacob's teas!
