It’s really sweet that she is so overjoyed by each of her gifts and how she takes so much care with them makes us see her a such an amazing person - which she probably is!
She’s such a sweetie, she doesn’t even need to use disclaimers because she is just so sweet in her nature.
My New Years resolution is going to be more like ruby, being completely myself, totally grounded, extremely grateful,polite,kind (and drink lots of tea!)
that last resolution is particularly important 🙌
in all seriousness though, this is such a lovely thing to read x
How are you going to be more like Ruby but also be completely yourself?
@@Amanda7. because Ruby is also completely herself
@@Amanda7. “be more like ruby” also represent to become a better version of herself. Trying to appreciate more things around us, become more grateful towards the nature and everything that she/ we are given for. How is that not even completely herself ? Role model of someone is usually the better version of someone that they always wanted to be. And her New Years resolution is to be more like ruby doesn’t just mean to become a better her ? Don’t criticise someone if you don’t think deep . It’s always better to spread kindness and love like Ruby rather than judging others ;)
Exactly!! I feel like social media make us more materialistic and we can’t enjoy life because we don’t have some things that we can’t afford.. but ruby is definitely an example to follow! she grow up so much since i started to follow her at her debuts on youtube😍
Ruby I had no idea you were into astrophysics! I have the exact same nasa jumper and I love it 😍 please make sure you share your night sky photos! ✨ hope you had a restful Christmas xx
I'm obviously not a pro but I love learning about it for fun (I'm sure I couldn't uphold even the beginnings of a conversation about it with you on the topic!!!). I must say that I have seen and been very jealous of your nasa jumper in past videos 🙈 and thank you so much! I hope you did too xx
@@RubyGranger8 It was really nice to see you Ruby!! Christmas is such a festival where everyone wants to be with his/her family. You're concern and love for everyone is unconditional. I hope you see all your family members soon and have a blast. Lots of love and be safe.
Merry Christmas xx
@Kelcy im a big beast
@@RubyGranger8 Hi Ruby ! Could you please share the references of the lens which allows to take photographs of the stars ? It would be super nice as I'm also very interested in astrophysics and astronomy :D (and photography of course)
@Kelcy satan rules
I usually don't like these gift videos but you are SO relaxing to listen to, I've been overruled😂🌙
Couldn’t agree more!
A good overule by yourself.
Sameeee hereeeee!!!
What are those lenses at 14:05 called ?? Please
It’s so nice to see you showing different things than other what I got for Christmas videos. I am not saying that typically “basic” gifts are boring or anything, but what I am saying is that it is really nice to see presents that are unique as it is much more interesting to watch!
I agree! This haul seems more authentic/personal than a lot of others!
Her, holding up her tote bag: “Do you recognise this?”
Me: “IT CAN’T BE...”
Her: “It’s Timothee Chalamet in CMBYN”
Me (screaming): “YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!”
Ruby is a national treasure. she is so humble and kind. and i love her voice. its so british and welcoming. lol. great video Ruby. you should get more attention.
You can just see in her expression how much she loves her presents when she talks about them, it’s so sweet🤍
Never usually comment on videos, however, this is the loveliest ‘what I got for Christmas’ I have seen. Her gratitude and kindness is inspiring. Ruby deserves every single one of those thoughtful gifts
imagine your dad choosing you christmas presents😍! it’s as much as a surprise for my dad when i open my gifts as it is for me! hope u had a lovely christmas ruby!! 🤍
Omg same 😂
that's so funny haha! Makes it an all around surprise, I suppose! It does end up being that way with the gifts the other parent got for us (i.e. my dad doesn't really know what my mum got us unless it's a particular good find!) xx
My husband asks me Xmas eve what we got our children this year to avoid the surprised look x
This is hilarious! My mum and my dad go shopping together and so they both know what we got. It was so funny, last year my grandma didn’t know what she got us and so afterwards I heard her ask my mom, “what did I get the children?” It was just so funny! Merry Christmas!🎁
@@linzimacmillan6182 hahah i love that😂
I just find it so lovely how Ruby is so close to her family. Thank you so much for being so inspiring even in these circumstances! Hope everyone has an amazing 2021
I know the UK has it worst than everybody else right now, my heart and prayers goes to all of you, your country is beautiful and your people is strong, this are just the darkness announcing the long awaited sunrise, hang in there UK, we love you.
You mean in Europe? Because there are a LOT of countries doing worse...
The U.K. Is more than one country mate. Nice sentiment though
@@colonyofrats4193 the U.K is both one country and comprised of several countries but nice sentiment
That is so lovely thank you so much
@@hollyava7072 im a big beast
My aunts boyfriend is from England. He sadly passed away in October, but we still do poppers (not sure if that is what they are called). We wore the paper hats and all. It was a fun thing to do to remember him.
Melissa Guild they’re called Christmas crackers!
I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you had a merry Christmas and have a happy and blessed New year
The dress you’re wearing is gorgeous!!
I agree!
honestly it’s beautiful!
agree
oh thank you so much! I am obsessed with it! You can find such wonderful pieces on depop :)x
@@RubyGranger8 What are those lenses at 14:05 called ?? Please
I'm lucky, Christmas for me was the same as always. We never have big dinners or gatherings, so it's like I've been living in pandemic my whole life. :P
I'm just thankful my whole family is healthy.
Really appreciated the message at the beginning, Ruby. As someone who didn’t get to spend Christmas with their family this year, I felt very sad that people kept saying ‘you’ll see them soon, it’s no big deal.’ All day, something felt missing. Lovely words, thank you 💕
she got more gift than my entire life
Your parents give you such thoughtful, personalised presents which is lovely! You can just see your face light up in excitement when talking about them :) hope you had the best Christmas!!
The fact that your family bought you so personalised gifts without having to ask you makes me so jealous. You're so lucky😭😍
The older I get the less magical Christmas becomes I guess:(
I was genuinely waiting for this video! We don't celebrate Christmas in my place but I always love seeing people celebrate this and to know what they receive and how they have fun during this festival.
Thank you for posting this Ruby! ☺💜
P. S - The dress is really really pretty!
oh that means a lot! I hope you liked it! xx
@@RubyGranger8 thank you so much for replying Ruby! Because of you I've been able to concentrate lately.
I hope you're doing good. ☺💜
I love how you talked about everything you did with your family, it's clear that you are grateful for every minute you had with them this Christmas ☺️
when i say that i have been waiting all year for this
I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAE FOR THIS
Your Patronus is an otter?! You are truly Hermione through and through!
It’s so refreshing and nice to see someone so kind having such a beautiful connection with their mother💓
You are so lucky that your parents know you so well. I have more or less a good relationship with mine, but I feel a big disconnection with them: they dont know my current tastes or interests(neither do they have intention of knowing it) and when they have to think of a present for me, they have no idea what to give me. It may seem silly but it kinda hurts me.
You seem to have a very close and nice relationshio with them, so please cherish that :)
I totally get you, I'm in a similar situation. It hurts and sometimes feels like they don't know me as a person at all. This christmas I got a chocolate bar with hazelnuts in it from my dad. I've been allergic to nuts my whole life.
I can relate to you so much. I dont get suprised with gifts anymore because my parents dont know me well enough. Every Christmas I usually just order things that I like and this year I even wrapped my own gifts. I do feel very grateful for even getting things and being able to order stuff online but I miss the feeling of suprise on Christmas morning when you open your presents.
It doesn’t seem silly at all, it’s understandable. I do hope you can come upon a easy line of communication to be able to explain this.
Same. My mom gives me gifts (my dad doesn’t) on holidays but i have to ‘get them myself’. It indeed makes you feel like they don’t know you / don’t want to put effort in it. It’s a bit hurtful. I don’t want to sound stupid bc i got a gift but it’s indeed the feeling like they don’t know you or even want to lolll
@@lotta8574 wow that one is harsh. Sorry to hear that
I really was waiting forward to this, sadly many of us didn't get many presents this year, but we should be grateful for us and our loved ones being safe and healthy. Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️
Thank you so much for staying positive during this time. This year (especially through semester) have been very hard for me and I’ve been more negative towards myself so seeing someone else be positive is inspiring me to do the same, and it is just so refreshing
I totally agree that despite the difficulties this year, it is truly amazing to just appreciate the family, loved ones and the ability to be simply with them.
Travelling is difficult and restricted, and so many families (including myself) were separated. However, no matter what, let's be grateful for all - no matter where we are and who we are with. Merry Christmas all!
I adore how maturely Ruby handles her haul videos, especially this year with how unprecedented this years Christmas is for many people. You're amazing, Ruby.
Just by the description I know I'm going to love it! :-) This Christmas I had two wonderful books and a vintagey dress I've fallen heads over heels for. Merry Christmas everyone, and happy holidays!
I didn't get any Christmas present this year, but I've never had so much fun as I had these Christmas days, I'm SO GLAD I could spend the Christmas day doing things that I love, and with people I love, with my family, and everyone was safe em healthy. I felt so lucky, even with this pandemic time's. I felt the Christmas spirit more than the other years.
It's so crazy to me how there's some people out there who genuinely enjoy spending time with their families. Like my immediate response was "she's totally faking it" even though I *know* she's not, she really does love her family and spending time with them. It's a beautiful thing to see. I hope I'll experience that in some other life. :)
starting w the nonmaterial things u got to enjoy for christmas is so lovely and speaks of being truly thankful
the only “what I got for Christmas” video I watch every year 😊🎄🎁
Ruby, my family doesn't usually get into the Christmas spirit as much as I would like, so I always look forward to this video from you to see someone else who is so spirited about the season! Glad you uploaded 💕💕
Hey Ruby!! The embroidery scissors are actually from the show “Over the Garden Wall”!! It’s so autumnal and lovely (and short!). I think you’d really love it.
Pretty sure those scissors have been around for many years, my mum has a golden one that she's had since forever. I hope Ruby enjoys them though!
@@MssAmyAlmighty Exactly, the scissors are not originally from the show but rather the show featured these classic embroidery scissors. That being said, “Over the Garden Wall” is an amazing animation and everyone should watch it 😊👌
I have had those scissors for about 18 years. Plus others. So cute!!!
Stork scissors are from the scissors used to cut the umbilical cords of newborns.
I’ve watched a few of these “what I got for Christmas” videos, yours is the only one where you’ve actually said you’re grateful for get to of spent it with your immediate family. You’re lovely.
The only "what I got for Christmas" video I'll be watching! Thank you for this beautiful message x
I was waiting for this video, they always give me gift ideas (whether to ask for myself or to buy for others) ! Thank you Ruby :)
I always wanted one of these videos of Ruby. She has just so positive energy! She just inspires me so much! Like two years ago, i still didn't know Ruby. I was always so unproductive, i was spending time on tehnology, it was verry bad! But then i found Ruby. Well now this is another story. I really don't know wat will i be right now, if i didn't found Ruby. I was so happy when i got the yearly planner from Ruby!
Merry Christmas evrybody!
fully cried at the end when u said thank you to everyone who made the decision to spend christmas alone, really felt that thank u for acknowledging us
You are the sweetest person in the world! I really like watching gifts and I truly appreciate you talking also about the non-material gifts of these holidays. You are a beautiful soul
I love that there are people out there that love Christmas this much. Christmas is so hard for me and it’s also not generally as cosy in Australia but it’s so nice to hear you talk about it.
Really good outlook on the whole Christmas situation this year, I think you addressed the difficulties around it particularly well. Great job!
So many nice things, I wanted all of it! I love afternoon tea, picnics and books too. That lexicon game looks cool too.
she s so sweet being so genuinely excited about the picnic basket oh my
Thanks Ruby. Your joy is refreshing. Happy New Year.
You’re so inspirational and so productive! This channel helped me a lot! Thank you and have a wonderful New Year!
I love how much thought went into each gift. I would love to see what you got for your family members!
these gifts were so so thoughtful and so genuine 🥺💛💛 glad your Christmas was magically Ruby ✨💖
I don't like what "I got for Christmas" videos but I am totally going to watch this one cuz its super aesthetic and I love Ruby's videos💜💜
Your videos are always such a delight to watch! They bring me such cozy and happy feelings! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas despite all the family that you missed this year due to Covid:)
im glad you posted this video! hope you have had a good christmas. thankyou for being aware and spending a few minutes talking about the odd christmas this year
This is SO adorable I love the spirit in this video it’s truly heartwarming
To hear you discuss the anticipation made me so joyful... And I can truly say as a fellow 20yr old part of me still longs to hear the bells 🔔 im glad u had a wonderful 🎄
Ruby - I went to Great Ormand Street Hospital all throughout my life up until I was 18 when I had to move to an adult hospital in London... (Although, I was kept until I was 21...) GOSH Was practically my second home.
Seeing you donating to this Hospital is the most amazing thing, so, thank-you, because, they are a fantastic Hospital who saved my life. 🖤
Merry Christmas~!
Seeing how happy you were over the picnic basket gave me so much joy.
Love how intentional this video is Ruby!
I LOVE the Timothée bagggg I am so happy for youuu 😮❤❤❤
isn't it gorgeous!!!
@@RubyGranger8 yes!! And also Call me by your name changed my life hahaha!
My comfort videos are your Christmas hauls 😚 I always come back to these when I’m feeling anxious or when I’m away and feeling home sick ☺️
I always enjoy watching what you got for Christmas. It’s always so unique and cute
I LOVEEEE that yellow dress with the white collar ! How stunning!!
This is easily the best Christmas haul I’ve seen. So heartfelt and I love the books and that people shopped small and repurposed for you 🥰
Merry christmas everyone and happy new year! As always I enjoy watching your video Ruby just because I like spending some time with you.
Your family is so kind and loving 💟 I hope 💗 you have a great 2021 Ruby!
Christmas eve has always been my favourite “holiday” of the year! Ive never heard someone explain why so perfectly before :)
This video was really touching and new to witness, as most people just show their gifts but it was refreshing to view how you spent your Christmas with your family, the feelings you felt and your sweet, heartfelt message at the beginning. I hope you had a great safe Christmas and I wish you and your family a great new year :)
I honestly would love to do a zoom chat or something where people just show what they recieved for their holiday. I love talking about gifts and seeing what other folks got too. Its so fun and shows the little things that bring people such delight.
Yay thanks for including Hanukkah 🕎! Hope you had a lovely holiday season x
I've been waiting for this video so much, the last week I saw all of your Christmas videos, Ruby thank you so much 🎄🎅🏻
A poem for every night of the year is one of my favourite books I own
You prefaced this video with worries, but I must say that this video brought comfort and joy in the happiness your family felt this Christmas!
Happy Christmas, Ruby! Your gifts from your family are lovely. 😘
I love your aesthetic😌❤️ Thank you for being here for us
The cool box will also keep things warm and is perfect for tier 2/3 picnics!
It's such a beautiful thing that you show handmade pieces and support local businesses! xx Aurora
Your family is so in sync!! How do you just receive things you wanted without asking for them?? Magic.
Such beautiful gifts! I think it's wonderful how aware you are already at this age.. It will save you time trying to "get" those things in the future. Your'e really lovely Ruby!
Hello! I discovered your content recently, and it's a delight! You seem to be a very humble person and it's a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you for this wonderful channel.
I wish you all the best end of the year possible.
Ruby I want to thank you for posting this video (I absolutely loved every bit of it)... Each year, your "WIGFC" videos have become apart of my Christmas tradition. Each are a pure delight because of the thoughtfulness and sentimental nature of each gift.
May you and your family continue to be blessed and safe!
Honestly ruby, you are such an inspiration! I really get motivated by watching your videos, just because you are so passionate and genuine about everything. Thank you very much!:-)
Thank you so much for all your kind wishes❤🌟
I loved how every member of your family really gave you a special gift for you, how they really know you🌟i think that it's so cute
I hope you had a great Christmas too Ruby despite the circumstances and yes it’s been really difficult not seeing extended family. I haven’t seen some of my family in over a year and I miss them so much and I just really look forward to when I can eventually see them in person.
Wow, I loveeee how well your family know you, the gifts you received are so suitable for you and Martha is an incredibly generous sister. XX
Your family is so good at presents, you can tell how observant they are and how well you all know each other by the presents! I would love to see a video like this from Martha too!
Omgggg I’ve been eyeballing the Fortnum & Mason hampers all year 😍
All you gifts are soo pretty! Oh my goodness!! I got this stunning dainty bracelet that’s a golden snitch! I’m in love with it. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and that you got to soak up as much Christmas magic as possible!!
your bracelet sounds so pretty! I hope you had a wonderful christmas too xxx
@@RubyGranger8 thank you!! Xx
omg that the best christmas presents I’ve ever seen. I absolutely in love with them 🤍
love your videos Ruby, I am glad you had a nice Christmas with your wonderful family and received such lovely presents from them. You are lucky to have such an amazing family and your family is so lucky to have such a talented and beautiful daughter like you Ruby.
I've just spent over 20 minutes with Ruby (and her family) and I like that. Nice Sunday.
ive been waiting for you to upload this!!! i love seeing these videos from you! im glad you had a great christmas!
Ruby I have to say that I was surprised you mentioned Hannukah! I'm jewish and I celebrate Hannukah and I just wanted to say that it's so thoughtful and amazing you have mentioned it, thank you! :) and also, it's so amazing how you love being with ur family so much, and how you find the beauty and the magic in everything (and in Christmas)! Wish you a wonderful and successful year!! XOXO :)
I’m really impressed by how well you listen to each other! 😍
Was such a lovely video ! So glad to see u smiling, I just think when kind people smile the radiance of their smile can light up a town :) Been following you since 2017, the first studytuber I came across on YT and now one of the three or four YT channels I keep up with. I wish you the best year ahead and thank you, you videos did make 2020 a bit more tolerable (and I mean it!)
Sending the warmest hug virtually !
Love you :)
Ruby and Martha's sisterhood is one of the cutest and neatest things.
my family doesn't really care about the commercial/exterior aspects of christmas but we share lots of love and spirituality and that's the most important thing and it makes me appreciate this period even more
Omg that picknic basket is so beautiful!!!
What a beautiful thoughtful video. The end especially... all the feels.
I love how joyful she is about all the gifts she gets. They were so cute and vintage. Unlike the people who ask for more modern things she was happy with a adorable Christmas mouse and a deck of cards. Keep up with the wholesome content 😄
Omg the picknic bag looks so lovely!!! I can already see the pictures of u in a field full of flowers drinking tea
so glad you uploaded this!!! love u ruby x
