“I’m no longer willing to postpone my happiness.” This hit me right in the heart and I’m bringing this to my next therapy session. Thank you.
Steven keeping it real with Mabel. I can’t think of the last time you were bad …. Steven: “ yesterday”. lol.
😂 that made me laugh out loud too
just loves Steven's commentary..lol
“I am no longer willing to postpone my happiness”….2024 inspiration right there! ❤
The year 2023 was a horrible year for me! My husband was diagnosed with cancer. Life is short! Makes you put everything into perspective. Be happy and let go of things that steal your joy!
Hi Christopher, I hope you see this. I’m not yet through the video, but I wanted to share some information. My little shipoo (Izzy) is 18 1/2. She has been suffering with the same thing as Bubbas. I have a good friend who’s older chocolate lab (Dexter) had the same issue. She took her dog to the vet and the dr. gave him an LIBRELA injection. Dexter had a few months of injections shots (one per month) and he goes back just as needed now. Dexter is a new pup again. I called our vet to inquire about Izzy as she is a little dog. He said it would most likely help her a lot. Izzy has an appointment for an exam and an injection next week and I can’t wait. It’s heartbreaking to see her like this. I wanted to share this with you in case you wanted to call Bubbas dr to inquire for him. ❤️🐶
Be happy Christopher and don’t worry about everyone. You bring us happiness by sharing your journey.
I just read up on Librela and will be asking my vet about it for my 12 yo beagle/basset, Clark Griswold. Thanks so much for mentioning it! Clark currently takes 2 doses a day of a prescription NSAID. Wish they had it for human OA too, I’d take it.
@@roxannebernard9258 I hear ya…I would take it too. I will be so happy if it could be helpful for Clark Griswold🥰🐶. I’m really hopeful for Izzy.
Thank you so much for mentioning this. I’m going to ask my vet for my 14 y/o chocolate lab
@@christyclaiborne9572 I hope it will help your pup too. Ive looked online so much and don’t know why there’s no information about Libreal. I wouldn’t have known if not for my friend. Good luck🐶😊
I vote for the first silvery blue sequin shirt, though they're all festive.
Christopher , Your an Inspiration. I can't wait to see your videos. Mable is still a puppy. Bubba's is so precious. I'm disappointed Christopher No Dolly Parton Avent Calendar this year. I got such a laugh when she did you dirty.
I just want to say that you bring me so much joy! There’s just something so comforting about you and your vlogs.
I confess I was a snooper at Christmas time. One year I found suede jackets for my sister and me hidden way in the back of my brother's closet. Christmas came and went and there were no suede jackets under the tree. I wasn't sure how to remind my Mom about the jackets without her knowing that I snooped. I finally told her my best friend received a new coat for Christmas and then she remembered!!! You have so many wonderful festive outfits for your party it's hard to pick one. I love them all but was really drawn to the blue striped shirt with sequins and the white french cuffs with navy tuxedo pants. Whatever you pick you must film yourself all ready for the party!! Take care to you, Steven, Bubba, and Mabel Mae!
I love every second of your vlogmas, but the chatting and sharing advice is definitely my favorite part.
The last 6 month has been rough and intense in my life, one thing after the other without any breathing time to recover from the last one.
Your comments really hit home. I learned in the past 6 months, although some people might call you selfish, it is not healthy not to put you first, specially with family.
To share the same blood doesn’t mean that you have to lose yourself and give the priority to others just because “we are family”
Thank you for your kind words, sometimes I feel guilty and feel the need to give permission to myself to feel happy.
What a great quote Christopher "I'm no longer willing to postpone my happiness"...WOW!! I felt you were talking to me love it. Instant epiphany just happen. Thank you. You should put that quote on a shirt or hoodie. Save the glitter for the New Year. ❤
You are officially " It's not my child!" PARENT......😂❤😂❤😂❤😂
That “rambling” was something I really needed to hear. Thank you for that.
Yes the silver yoke shirt. Stay happy ❤
I’m casting my vote for the silver yoke shirt. Stunning….
My vote is the silver sparkly one!!! As a “people pleaser” as well. I struggle to this day with putting myself first. Thank you so much for the words of wisdom & for sharing YOUR growth. 🥰
I am so proud of you! What you said is real maturity. You will be so much happier and so will Stephen. That’s all that matters. ❤️
Vote Christmas plaid! 🎄
Save sparkles for NYE ✨
OMG I was a huge snooper! As I've aged (74 now) I've become less social, I love my close friends but I say "no" to people who I really can't say I enjoy spending time with. I have a horse and would rather be at the barn than go to some event. I feel like the world has gotten so crazy and life is short. I'm glad you are putting yourself first as well.
I understand about taking time for yourself. I’m a giver which sadly seems to attract takers. I’ve had to let go of so called friends I’ve had for many years because of how empty I felt from giving and giving of myself and them actually expecting it. Cheers to loving yourself 🥂.
I loooove the first sequin light blue! ❤️👍
Amen Christopher! 👍🏻💯 agree with you wholeheartedly on preserving our inner peace & it not being selfish 💕 I also feel like 2023 took a toll on me in a few areas of my life & I’m not allowing that in 2024. Life is too short & I’m finally learning it’s ok to make healthy changes & surround myself with those who are genuine & appreciate me for me!
Christopher….AMEN my brother! Focus on you. You cannot give a seat at your table to everyone! We must care for ourselves FIRST! Blessings to you, especially for 2024!❤🎉
The silver and white one is perfect.
You are such a bright light and I love watching you. I hope that you continue making content in the future. Thank you for inspiring me to be such a better human!
Chris, I love the first and the last sparkle shirts. Your hair would look so good with those two options
Your vlogs always bring joy to my heart. My ten year old son loves watching with me. Thank you for being family friendly and allowing us a glimpse into your personal space. ❤️
Omg the last question and your answer to that question spoke volumes. Thank you so much for sharing 💕💕💕
Yes, I was a definate snooper and you are absolutely right the happier and kind you are to yourself then you will be to others.
You guy's and the pups have a bless night ❤
I love the Christmas flannel idea 😊
I absolutely appreciated and loved the Q&A portion today! It really resonated with me! You are an amazing, fabulous, inspirational, wonderful person! xo,S
Love the silver yoke shirt option
I feel the sparkly shirts are more appropriate for NYE. I love the ice blue one and the white sparkle ones. I love the red plaid and pleather idea for your christmas party. My husband finally found a great bottled balsamic reduction that he loves.... saves me a LOT of time in the kitchen. No one should postpone their own happieness, Christopher. I'm so happy for you to come to this realization.
I feel the same way about pleasing people. I used to worry if I was enough or did I say the right things. Now at 61…but the change happened in my 50’s, I came to realize life is too short to not put yourself first.
Wow ! Thanks for the inspiration
What a beautiful wish you shared at the end. Great advice.
Thank you so much for vloging, I've missed you all 😊
I love option #2. The ruffle shirt with the black bow would be stunning and so you ♥️
I’d like to know what Steven plans to wear to the Christmas party, truly WHAT?! As for you, the ruffle/black tie shirt and the last white/grey shirts speak to me. Whatever you choose will be divine!
Chrisopher, I like the white one with the lines of dazzle. I like the plaid shirt idea too but for a casual party. It is so hard to say no but at 70 you would think I would learn. Not too many more years to do what I want to do, when my joints get fixed. LOL
Thank you Chris and say hi to Steven and the pups.
Beautiful insight at the end ❤️
The first shirt, the icy blue one would look really nice with Navy pants.
The first silver sparkly one - Christmas is a time for sparkles!!
Wow! “Sometimes no is the best yes”. I love it. Thanks for sharing. What is your word and quote for 2024? Hugs from Toronto 🤗🇨🇦🎄
Hello!! I like the 1st shirt and last of the first group. My friend uses maple syrup on her hash browns when she roasts them. I cant get enough of the back and forth between you and Stephen. Such a riot lol. Youre the best!! Love ya!!
Thank you for the Air fryer!😊 Love it when you cook.❤
Christopher you're a good dog dad. You have a kind and forgiving heart. Wish my father had been that way with me.🥲
I make my Brussel sprouts the same way! They are my absolute favorite vegetable now!
A dab of plain white toothpaste on the pimple, leave it overnight then wash off in morning, dries it out.
Loved this ❤ especially the end good advice .Also those shirt options are gorgeous 😍 i cant decide but im really looking forward ro seeing you in some 🎉
I vote for the 4th shirt (white with silver sequins) and either the black or navy tuxedo pants 👍. I also like the first (silver) sequinned shirt… 🎉🥳🎄
Luv the silver yolk,actually any of them are great,tell Steven to cheer up or is that himself all the time,Happy Cheers🎄🥳😘
Hi Christopher, the Mighty Patch from Amazon will take care of that blemish on your nose. They work great. Happy Holidays!
I love wallpaper but like you, only in certain places. I did a complete Reno on my Master Bath and did use wallpaper. I am very proud of the choices I made. Over a year later I still can’t find the perfect rug to break up the tile 😂
I love the first silver ice blue shirt and with Navy pants it would be stunning! I struggle with protecting my peace. I love that you have been able to prioritize that. I hope I can get there.
Ditto on the chat from bedroom! Like the white shirt with silver 😀For your nose try try a small piece of fresh tomato rubbed on the spot. Leave and do not wash off. Love your simple evenings with the dogs and Steven
If Mabel isn't the most perfect dog I've ever seen, I'll eat my hat! My husband swears by one of those light things for those painful pimples under the skin. You just hold the light against the pimple for about a minute and it stops it in its tracks (as it were 😆). Lots of festive love from our family to yours!
I was a snooper at Christmas lol! I love all the shirts but love the silver light blue sparkle one !
I agree w/ you about that couple of yrs. 2020 I got a job I really enjoy as covid hit.I really hated the mask but I wore it and got the shot. 2021 our mother had AFIB and passed 55 days later. Because of covid when couldn't be w/ her for a lot.. Then I 2021 April I fell and dislocated my left shoulder and needed surgery, 5 months of rehab and praticing my royal wave at work. LOL. Made more money this year but spent it all on cost of living, I give my problems to God and he sees me and my twin sister through. We have a roof over our heads and we now good things are coming. May you and yours have a peaceful christmas.
Yay to vlogging until the 30th!!
Wow, did you describe me perfectly. This past year I made a couple of bold moves for MY benefit, and it was so liberating. I’ve tried so hard to like Brussel sprouts, but nope. I vote for the white shirt with the silver yoke!!
Fellow snooper here but I am completely opposite now! Refuse to open anything until Christmas Day! Totally different story when I was a kid though. Thanks for reminding me if that! 🎄🎁
Love the meals…..recipes
All the shirts are beautiful!you will look fab no matter what you wear!
I’m with you about Brussels stouts needing to be crispy. My husband and I like to do a honey sriracha mixture on ours. It’s so good!
On another note, have you tried the blemish patches on your under the skin pimple? I feel like they help.
I do Everything Bagel Seasoning on my sprouts and they are so bomb!
I like the white shirt w/ the silver yoke paired w/ the black pants.
I clicked on this so fast!! Glad you’re feeling better!!
You need to wear the silver sequined shirt! Well, you don’t need to 😂😂 but I think you’d look amazing in it. Especially with the new hair color!
Just a simple thank you ❤
I was always a snooper and I still am at 53 ❤ I will still look and then immediately regret if I do find any…every time 😊
So good to see Stevan/Stephan.
I never snooped. I love surprises. I don’t even like to know what other people in my family have bought each other.
I was a big time snooper! I used to slice the tape with a knife, slide the box out & open it then slide the box back in and perfectly re-tape the paper! 🤦🏻♀️
Hi Christopher, Steven & Doggie's. Christopher Love Your New Hair Color Looks Great ❤. How do You Make Brussels Sprouts? The Way My Mom made them I never ate them again. May God Bless You, Steven and The Dogs.
Hi Christopher! Happy Holidays! I’m loving your vlogmas as always. I’m wondering why you’re not using your usual vlogging camera. I love seeing all your beautiful decorations in the background. This one seems so small.
Hugs to you and Steven and the pups! XO
I agree! I’m changing up today.
I was the Queen of Christmas snooping!
🎶🎶I can’t get enough🎶I’m hot sticky and sweet from my head to my feet yea🤣🎶🎶 Davines is a great hair line! Love it for my curly hair and bonus smells good too! I vote Sparkle! Glad you are putting yourself first. That so hit a chord .. I’m tired of putting myself last. Life’s too short ❤️
FANTASTIC JOB! I love what you said at the end of the video. Very mature of you. It shows that you are growing. :-)
In the last year I have learned to make me number one . I've been a people pleaserr all my life it feels good to say no 😊 also I was the one gingerly opening the end of a wrapped present
To take a peek . I love your style
Definitely #1 shirt or I also love the very last option of a cropped pant and the shirts your waiting on whatever you decide will be stunning ❤️
Sorry if this was asked already :o can I get the link to the "readers" advent calendar please :) Thank you!
If you have any type of clay masks, try to dab some on and leave overnight- draws up impurities and takes down swelling, double whammy. I'm also learning it's healthy to protect my peace. P.S. the last shirt, white and silver.
I vote for the cute bow shirt!!! It’s so festive and I’m a huge fan of bows at this time of year soooooo yes!!!
Hi Christopher another great vlog I loved the questions section especially 💚💚💚💚.
LOL I am also a dog mom of one who can do no wrong and she can eat and shred every new item I get including the new couch (lord it took her one day) without losing an ounce of my love. ❤
You are wrong about Mabel doing no wrong. My 10 month old English lab got into the dirty clothes and chewed up a dish towel. It caused an obstruction in his intestine which was removed. He tore the incision open and even the best vet in town couldn't save him. He died of sepsis.
😢
So sorry for this loss and sending so much love.
Voting for option one!! Love love love that icy blue/silver sparkle
Fellow snooper here! My dad always tells me I told my brother about Santa, I do not remember that but it could have been!!
Ohhhhh do you have a pair of dark green velvet pant? It would look sooo GOOD with the white tux shirt, with the black bow. A fun loafer would be amazing. Do you have a cheetah print loafer?
Of course I have green velvet pants! :)
I’m team Christopher on Mabel being perfect 😍 all my furbabies are perfect too🐶🐶🐶 (twin 15 month old Shelties, Griffey & Reba and our 18 year old puggle, Bowzer but we call him Bubba and yes 18 years old)!
Christopher put toothpaste on the pimple before you go to bed. It must be paste and not gel. Works well.
I use that Davines shampoo and it is fantastic
At first I thought wear the silver shirt but when I saw the silver bib & collar white shirt I thought oh yes! Such a chic shirt. Nice vlog, tfs ❄️🩵❄️
And yes, I was a snooper too lol.
Thank you for another fun video. I love when Steven makes his appearance. He cracks me up every time. But I have to agee with you. If you left your hat down to where Mable could get it. That was your mistake she was just being a dog...lol I always enjoy watching your videos. I look forward to vlogmas every year. Because we get to spend 24 days in a row with you. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. Have a wonderful holiday season
How do you like this Airfryer? I'm thinking of buying one and don't know which one to get?
December 30th ❤ now im so happy 🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤ both your furry babies
Hi!! Christopher. May I ask what air fryer do you use? :) Or anyone can chime in on their fav!!
its the ninje air fryer
Another great vlog and fellow snooper here
Total snooper here!!!
