😂😂😂love the fallen ginger house sometimes the failures are fun when we embrace them thanks for not editing out 😅
Thank you so much!
LOL, That was fantastic!!! Best gingerbread house tutorial I’ve seen to date! When all else fails make a cup of tea and eat the project!
Thank you so much 🤣 absolutely!
I have not yet made a wreath, but I am planning to knit a Norwegian one next year. I have already knitted a huge quantity of different Norwegian Christmas tree baubles in red and creamy white (every bauble is different), which I am stuffing with natural battens, and today I started crocheting the loops. A time consuming job. It was and is worth all the effort. I do love your candy cane wreaths. Well done! Ginger bread houses are such fun. I have seen these Ginger houses in different stages of collapse... Persevere. You are very entertaining! 😊 Thank you so much.
The Norwegian style Christmas baubles and wreath sound amazing! Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!
I’m so sorry, but the ‘epic fail’ Gingerbread House has got to be the funniest Vlogmas yet, I’ve literally howled with laughter and boy did I need that ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Laughing SO hard!! You are just precious 🤪 AAA for effort!!
Thank you so, so much!
That was so funny, thanks for making me laugh. What a better world it world be if we had more Leonora's. 😍
Could not agree more
Thank you so much for watching - so glad you enjoyed it!
You are so sweet and natural.... best Xmas blog ever!
Thank you so much!
The Gingerbread house was hysterical ...showed another side of you that we love! Great sense of humor
Thank you so much!
The girl who has it all...but is the sweetest, most down to earth angel! Loving your vlogmas Leonora- amazing work! Merry Christmas to you and yours! xxx
Gave me a belly laugh 🤭 at the end. Like watching an episode of the great British bake off. There is always next year. lol 😂
So glad to share some joy!
😂😂😂the gingerbread house was a hilarious! Thank you for that, just what I need today 😂
So glad to share some joy!
Ha, ha, ha. Been there and done that with our grandchildren. Thanks for the memories.😅

OMG Leonora, I've cracked my rib laughing at your gingerbread house 🤣 you have really cheered me up, loved you candy cane wreaths 🥰
So glad to share some joy!
It made me laugh out loud - Worthy of an episode of Grand Designs 🎄😆
The candy canes are gorgeous love the velvet bows and the ginger bread house Leonora you tried so hard never mind I bet it tasted lovely anyway you made me laugh so much another great video I do think those ginger bread houses are hard to stick together I’ve tried and failed myself but you do have so much fun and laughs doing it xx
Thank you so much! We're all part of the flat gingerbread house club!
Best gingerbread house vlog ever loved when you both began to eat it in true hansel and gretel style 😄❤❤
It was the only way forward!
Thanks for being so real. I laughed and laughed. 100% for effort. Happy Christmas.
Thank you so much!
Call a floral designer!!! LOLOLOLOL 😁😁😁 Save the manicure and the cashmere sweater. I can't believe you were making red icing in that beautiful outfit. Mercy me! I could only shake my head and laugh. May I suggest that you spend your time riding and shopping? The last hour of my life was good for some good laughs, so all is not lost.
Hey leonora new to your channel. Girl this vlog is so beautiful and you are so beautiful. Intro gave me so many good goosebumps wow such a iconic moment to see enjoy watching this vlog looking forward to many more ❤❤❤🥹🙏🫶
Welcome!! Thank you so much for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!
Yes i tried to make one with my Daughter many years ago and had the same results, we just sat and ate the flipping roof and walls, trouble was i was in floods of laughter but she was in floods of tears. She's now 38 and she stills reminds me of that disaster 😂❤ sending love to you and your family Rosie O 🏴
They're quite difficult!
It's not a fail if it's tasty! A for effort, for sure!
Very, very true!
Being a USA viewer.. Your Vlogmas video's are my Advent Calendar treats!!! 🎄❤🎄🎄🎄🎄
What a lovely comment! I'm so glad you enjoy them!
I'm still laughing, hilarious! (A) STAR for effort! What I love about you Leo, is you don't take yourself too seriously, at least you can laugh at yourself when things don't work out as planned.......So funny......Love it🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the vlog. Those gingerbread houses tend to be a hit and miss for most people. Loved how u handled the miss and did not edit it out. Those are the real moments that make life so fun.❤
Thank you so, so much!
I laughed so hard watching the gingerbread house crash. It has happened to us all. I admire your trying it and showing you are a real person, this is life. We should always be able to laugh at our selves. Enjoy every day!
Enjoyable
I had so much fun watching you with that Gingerbread house!!! You really did a great job decorating with the icing - to tell you the truth the last time I made a Gingerbread house like that I think I used the glue gun to hold the sides together, the icing just isn't strong enough. Thanks for the laughs!!!! Wreaths were lovely!! Hello from SC.
Thank you so much! I think the glue gun might have been the better option!
You made me laugh - so much fun
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
If I did this with my sisters, we would be on the floor laughing so hard😂❤️❤️🥁
Wonderful! And your vlog proves that there is better content than: Buy, buy! Thank you very much for the suggestion and good entertainment!
Thank you so, so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
Leonora,
Don't feel so bad! This happened to us 3 years in a row!
Then... this our year, Target Store, in America came out with gingerbread houses that were already built!
My granddaughters has a blast just putting on the the final candy decir.decor., with no crying because the Gingerbread house structure was already built!
That sounds fantastic - definitely the way to go!
The little candy canes are charming.
Thank you so much!
Comedy gold... the best Christmas pick me up, haven't laughed so much in ages 😂 xx
So, so glad you enjoyed it!
Ahhh! Your vlogs get better and better
Love your personality !
❤🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
Leonora I give you an A for patience and effort plus you did three amazing candy cane wreaths , I am glad you showed us the good the bad and the house falling down and I like that you both got a nice snack at the end of it all😂❤👌👍👏
Thank you so much! A delicious snack at that!
OMG THE END 😅😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard!
Haha so glad I could share some festive fail joy!
Love the gingerbread house attempt! You made me laugh! Thanks for showing real life!
Thank you so much for watching!
You guys have to watch the very end hahahha
This was such a hoot 😂.......i think you and Anna should just pop the kettle on and devour the tumble down house ! Who cares , bet it tastes good and you had a giggle doing it and gave us a giggle too ........such a lovely vlog ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely!! We certainly enjoyed eating it! Thank you so much for watching
@@LeonoraSmee95 ❤
Hello from Canada !
That is why I stoped to do Gingerbread house with my daughter!
They're more difficult than they look!
Leonora, what a shame about your gingerbread house! But I have to say it was great content, and i'm still laughing!! 😂😂😂
Your candy canes look beautiful and so festive! 👌🏻😍
I had noticed them in your decorating vlog with flowered, but I thought you'd bought them, so bravo! I've made all of my own wreaths and garlands, but with faux foliage and baubles, etc, so I can use them year after year! 🎄🌟🌲🌿❤❤❤
Thank you so, so much! So glad you enjoyed the vlog!
Loved your Ginger Bread house and all that went with it. I needed a good laugh 😂 Love you ❤
So glad I could share some joy!
Hillourous Leonara,such an amazing fun Christmas vlog.
Burst out laughing when both of you ate the gingerbread house.
Gold star for effort.⭐🤍⭐
Haha so glad you enjoyed it!
😂😂😂 the gingerbread disaster so funny, looks like it tasted good though.
DELICIOUS!
Lock everything in with twist ties so much easier to fasten everything. No need for wiring or glue. Simply twist tie the oranges and snip. I craft and use these for gardening and hanging anything indoor or outdoor decor. Candy canes are so adorable. I love gingerbread people so cute. I love your creations, Leonora.
Great tip, thank you!
I just want to thank you sweet Leonora, for giving me very hearty and inappropriately cackly guffaws on what was a very challenging day for me. Bless your heart!
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad I could share some joy!
😂😂😂 Leonora you are hilarious, such patience. Your artist skills are amazing though. I hope you poured that vodka, you certainly deserved it, cheers a another wonderful, Christmassy vlog ❤❤
Thank you so, so much!
Love your candy cane wreaths 👏 oohh the gingerbread house .. & you’d decorated it so beautifully .. what a hoot you are & I laughed out loud 😆 thank you for sharing this 🤣🤪
Thank you so much for watching!
Very nice! Quick inspo for some festive DIY! Yay!❤
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous gorgeous Leo,you can turn your hands to anything just amazing lots of love mary❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Your candy cane wreaths are magnificent!!! Don't worry too much about the gingerbread house. You're not the only one having issues with building one, I've seen a few videos with the same end result. I think the problem is that the sugar mixture to make the "cement", is not thick/strong enough and doesn't set fast enough for the house to stand. At least you tried and it was entertaining!
Thank you so much! I think you might be right!
Candy canes are gorgeous and I laughed so much with you during the gingerbread house process 😂 that’s so like me 😅😂 xxx
Thank you so much!
Oh my I burst out into laughter at the end it was hilarious thanks for laugh
I love the candy cane wreaths also
Thank you so, so much!
Hysterical!!! my favorite vlog!!! It was not a fail!! It made me laugh so much, especially when you guys gave up and ate it!! 🤣🤣 Love you and your wonderful vlogs! Merry Christmas Leonora!! we love you! 😍🤩🎄🎄🏚🏚
Thank you so, so much! Means so much!
Lots fun I have always loved pure slapstick comedy
The gingerbread house!🤣😂🤣 Oh well, at least it tasted good! And you were so funny as well, I laughed along with you. Happy holidays!
Thank you so much! So glad we could share in the humour together!
You did a lot better than I ever could .
It was definitely worth a try!
Hilarious- loved the fail probably more than if it was perfect 😂
How cute is Anna so much fun!! Hilarious xx
Loved watching this video , you made me laugh so much , just want I need today..
loved the candy canes going to try these tomorrow xx💋❤️
Thank you so much! I hope your candy cane wreaths turned out well!

Thank you so much!
When life gives you broken gingerbread houses, eat them lol
Hahaha, it's a “great fail”🤣🤣 Gingerbread House 🫶
I learned long ago I can’t make a gingerbread house 😅 😂
It's quite an art!
I love watching your vlogs, i always find a new place to go in Henley, Christmas Barn here I come x
Thank you so much for watching! It's the best place to feel festive!
I worked at a resort for years and the chef made this giant gingerbread house for xmas day lunch.. it was the size of a dolls house trouble is when it came to eat the ants had invaded and made their home in it lol
Oh wow! That sounds incredible, despite the ants!
My tummy hurts with laughing so much🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. Well done Leonora!!
Thank you so much!
What a fun vlog but also hilarious - you do get an A+ for effort & patience - I was so forward to seeing the outcome bc your artistic decorations was impressive but when it all came down I felt bad for you but I just couldn’t stop laughing 😂 - however The candy cane wreath is perfection -they look beautiful in your kitchen l😊love it - thank you for another great vlog
Thank you so much! Sometimes it just isn't meant to be!
Darling Leonora The Gingy House is a must sketch for Saturday Nite Live! 😮😊securing the walls with icing is like A jinga puzzle !My first was so complicated into the garbagggo and to shop for complete prepared in place house !Est Voila Perfection Note to Self🌟jingle jingle🎄
I loved this vlog😂😂😂❤❤❤...u r so relatable yet aspirational luxury lifestyle...DEFINITELY this channel needs to get to millions of viewers...A++++ for effort
Thank you so, so much!
Exactly what happened at my gingerbread party. But my house was much uglier. So we’re my friends’ houses.
Brilliant, hilarious ❤
Thank you so much!
Hilarious ginger bread house! I think a good idea to put the house together first and then decorate!
Good tip!
Love the candy cane wreaths all three are very pretty i want to make some too!gingerbread houses are hard good try 😊thanks for the laugh &the inspriation🎄🎀🎁
Girl, I laughed so hard I cried , but, I WAS LAUGHING WITH YOU, NOT AT YOU . THANK YOU -IT WAS MAGICAL😆🤣
Haha thank you so much!
Candy cane Wreaths are so pretty 😍 omg the Gingerbread house Epic 🤣🤣 i think many of us have all failed at the Gingerbread house. Building 🤣🤣🤣 Good attempt . Thank you for the fantastic laughter 🤭
Enjoy the parts of the house 😅.
Thank you so much! It seems to be a common theme with gingerbread house assembly!
Such a fun filled vlog. I love that you keep things real. ❤
Thank you!
😂😂😂You are not alone darling Leonora!! We made one with the youngest members of our family a few years ago...first one perfect, fantastic, gold star ✨...second one died!! We "glued" together a number of times and it fell apart. We got it together, got it into the car and it died once again. Rubble! To the which a young boy pronounced "nevermind, we're going to eat it anyway it's fiiine!" Mummy was deflated, exhausted and had to have a medicinal (of course) glass of port 🍷 We have video evidence of this atrocity. So you have joined the flat gingerbread house club 😂😂😂. Much love xx
The flat gingerbread house seems to be the best club to be in!!
@@LeonoraSmee95 Yes definitely, it's exclusive you know!! 😎 X
As a crafter myself, this is the perfect vlog for me.😊 I'm excited to watch! ❤
I hope you enjoyed it!
@LeonoraSmee95 I thoroughly enjoyed it, Leonora! I love to craft with a friend, and you would be a fabulous crafting buddy! 🥰🥰🥰
Brilliant 😂😂❤
Is there anything you can't do Leonora? You never cease to amaze me!!! With all you have on your plate you always seem to get everything done!! Well done!
Thank you so, so much!
You are so sweet you I like you gingerbread The candy wreath decorations are beautiful 😍 🤩
Thank you so much!
Oh thank you so much for making me smile Leanora, it was so desperately needed.
Thank you for watching!
Love the realness. ❤
Thank you so much!
Ahh bless you, “A star” for trying, loved todays show. Thank you for sharing the tears and laughs 😂
Haha thank you so much for watching!
It’s ok, Leo. At least your candy cane wreaths were winners! I think the cracked walls just didn’t bode well from the start. Love your creativity. Next year you should announce your Christmas craft ahead of time so your subscribers can buy their own materials and make something along with you. I think that would be fun. 😊
Thank you so, so much! That's a great idea!
Absolutely brilliant leonora made me laugh ,so Xmas xx
Thank you so much!
That epic Gingerbread House failure was a RIOT🎉 Solution: EAT IT!!!! 😂
Thank you so much!
This vlog made me laugh. It reminded me of the time I made a Gingerbread house for charity. It took ages and the roof kept collapsing so I ended up super glueing it all together and made sure it stated that it wasn’t edible. I nearly had a breakdown making it!! Ah memories! 🎅🏼🎄🎁😳😬
Lovely vlog, ty. The end was "epic". Thanx for sharing it, the reality of life, and having us laugh w you❤👍👌, rather then "here is one I made earlier".

That sounds really stressful, but for a great cause I'm sure!!
Great entertainment ! 🎅🏼🎄😇
Thank you so much!
Charming! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
I love the candy canes! Thanks for keeping it real on the gingerbread house. Quite funny at the end!
Thank you so much for watching!
Loved it when the gingerbread house caved in, so funny to watch, especially when u both started to eat it, a bit of girlie fun xx
Thank you so much! It was so delicious!
I'm sure less-than-structurally sound gingerbread houses taste just as delicious as perfectly assembled ones. 😆😅🤣 Love your Gingerbread heart ❤!‘ ‘Tis the season! 🎄
I can confirm, they were delicious!
Leonora I love your authenticity and happiness. Is was great that not is perfect like in human life. I love your videos everyday more and more. Thank you hugs of love and light to you and all your loved ones.
Thank you so, so much!
They look so pretty plus you had fun doing them… I enjoyed watching the process. ✨Candy Cane.✨
Thank you so, so much!
The gingerbread house was too much fun. Quite genuine.
Thank you so much for the gingerbread fail. I love your attitude and optimism. I am loving your Vlogmas. ❤️
Haha thank you so much - when life gives you lemons - eat gingerbread!
Dear Leonora, don't get discouraged! Try making another gingerbread house, maybe from another brand. The consistency really matters, if it's too biscuity it will most likely break. And the key is to be patient and use a loooot of icing, we always make 2 or 3 times more than the packets suggest, so we have enough to decorate and glue the pieces together. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! Great tips!
Comedy gold….😂😂😂😂😂😂
