Don't worry about keeping your videos shorter. I enjoy every minute of them!
Me too !
Me Three ‼️❤️
I agree 100%
Yes!
Me three😊🎉
I don't care how long your videos are. I'll still watch them. You are one of my favorite CZcamsr's.
❤❤❤ same! Well said. 😄
Hi Crystal ❤.im so glad you like the Christmas planner and the Christmas tree ornament of Charlie ,(his first) i was so happy when you mentioned me on your video. Merry Christmas to you all .🎄🎄looking forward to the next video love from u.k ❤❤.
The last few years our family got together we did a White Elephant exchange for the adults. Everyone would bring something they no longer wanted from home, wrapped very nicely for the exchange (I always took something from my ‘donate’ box. The Planners would let everyone choose a number and you would receive the gift with the corresponding number. The gifts were opened one at a time and if you didn’t like/want the gift you received you could ‘steal’ someone else’s gift. We would go around the circle twice so that each recipient had the option to keep or steal/exchange a gift twice. It was hilarious and a lot of fun.
Try using a plastic fork with the two middle tines broken out to dip the cake balls. Works great with pretzels as well. Great vlog!Thank you for sharing!🌲🌲❤
Love watching your shows Tara...really brightens up my holiday season considering I married a scrooge and I am a Griswold at heart. ❤
I can relate to the Scrooge😂
Here’s a cake ball hack for you. I make mine with real cake mostly, but if I’m in a hurry-Twinkies work well. Just dump them in your mixer-no need for icing because of the cream filling. Then roll, refrigerate, and dip as usual. My niece requested I use Little Debbie Christmas Trees so I’m trying that this year.
Those gifted light up ornaments are so lovely. Happy to have one of your videos for my lunch time. Can’t believe it’s the last week leading up to Christmas 🎄and I love you chatting videos btw
Merry Christmas Crystal to you and your family. Enjoy this Christmas in your new home. It looks beautiful 😊🎅🌲
You are my absolute favorite youtuber so the longer the better to me.
Hi Crystal! So glad you loved the gifts....the light up ornaments are from JoAnn Fabrics. Christmas is fast approaching! I just wrapped like over 30 presents....yikes! Officially everything is wrapped. Now I hope I can sit for a minute and actually enjoy the season! LOL Hope you have a fun time with family! I just love Vlogmas btw. Thanks for all the hard work you do to put them together!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.Thank you Crystal for sharing your videos.🎄🎁❄❄⛄
I agree-give us a long video Crystal, I love hanging out with you!
🎉I just love your videos and would watch them matter how long they were! Keep on posting,girl. Your home is beautiful and I’ve looked forward to sitting in bed and watching the videos each time. 😊
It’s nice to see that your family get together for Christmas that’s a true Blessing, enjoy making memories.
I love your videos! You are so relatable! I just wish I had your energy and motivation! 😂 I haven’t even started wrapping yet.. 😘
Have Blessed Christmas to you and your family. Enjoy your first Christmas in your new home. I love watching your channel
I got everything done early this year. Hanukkah was early this year so I had everything ready before I left for Florida. I watched my grandsons open their presents via Face Time. I also got the Christmas presents ready so I won't have to do anything when I get home on the 21st.
Crystal you do an amazing Christmas for your family. Those lighted ornaments you received are so pretty. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Wow that's wonderful you still give out Christmas cards!! I didn't think anybody sends them out anymore!!🎀🎄🎅
Merry Christmas 🎄🦌🎁
Love watching your videos no matter how long it is!! God Bless 🙏❤️
The ornaments you received are really pretty and thoughtful. ❤p.s keep the longer videos I enjoy them.
I made cake pops for the first time this year! They were a lot of work, but they taste great! A big hit in our family!🎄Merry Christmas to you and your family!❤️
Fun! Enjoy watching ❤
Always love your videos! A wise person once told me cheaper is not always better when it comes to Alcohol. As I have gotten older, now in my 50’s, I definitely appreciate that advice. The better the alcohol the lesser affects suffered. 😀
Those cake balls looked so yummy!!!! I am going to try and make them!!!
Hi Crystal, Charlie all excited for Christmas and thank you for very good videos
The cake balls look d so good.
Enjoyed
The cake balls look great!
The Elf paper cutter is such a life saver when wrapping 🙌
I hope you have a wonderful holiday. You are definitely going to enjoy the Pinnacle whipped vodka
Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄
Ie joy watching your videos! MerryChristmas to you and your family!
Beautiful ornaments that you recieved.Your cake balls looked delious.
I’m tired after watching all you did. You are so sweet. Hope you had a fun date night🎉
Hi Crystal . Thanks for the video . That wrapping station is genius . ❤🎅⛄️🎄🧑🎄❄️
Happy holidays . ❤
I remember the “equal Christmas gift” days. I know fully what that means! 😊 Nice video Crystal! 🎄
Thank you one more time for nice vlogs, Crystal 🥰🥰🥰
Love your videos, Merry Christmas ❤️🎄🎄🎄
I love when you talk. Fun video Crystal ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I grade my baking too! Yes you can eat those. No those ones are to take to someone’s place. Hands off!😂
I enjoyed watching your videos, I make them apart of my day and let just say that I am in love with your house. God bless you and Merry Christmas
In Southern California dreary means Christmas! It’s as good as it gets in my beach town. That’s what Christmas lights are for😊.
Cocktail: hot Apple cider, shot of Tuaca, in a coffee mug, top w whipped cream. 😋
Merry Christmas All! 🎄
Everything looks beautiful and cozy! We are officially on our 3-week Christmas break from school, so I intend to get lots of things done this week before Christmas Day! Our gatherings start Friday night and co time for a few days. Fun but busy days ahead. I enjoy watching your videos. It gives me ideas, and I don’t feel so overwhelmed…if that makes sense. Lol!
Hi Crystal! If you add a small amount of vegetable oil to your melted candy melts it will make it less thick and easier to coat ☺️
Sending Christmas wishes from the U.K. to you and the family ❤️
I agree, love your long videos. I love all your videos. Your contents is excellent. You could also try a bbq skewer to dip your cake balls. They looked good. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I did the same thing with my kids. Keeping them equal. I still do & they’re married now.
Would love to make cake pops. I don’t drink so I don’t have the Liquor store on my list. Everything else is on there. I love fruit pizza. It’s perfect for holiday gatherings!!
Love the longer videos!
Love Crystal's long videos...have a great date night.so important ❤️ it's time to take a deep breath..move on and smile to ALL!😊
Great video as usual Crystal.
As always you’re a bright spot in a very dreary day here! Our twin grands, boy and girl, will be 19 next month. Wish they were 7 again! Great video, always enjoy them.
Crystal next time put sticks inside the cake balls to make cake pops🥰 it makes it so much easier to roll them into the chocolate and then right into the sprinkles and then you stand them up to set👍
Crystal, great video! You made me lol and snort in my hotel room all by myself with the Ball comment 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I love watching your videos while i woke in the morning; you're so relatable, fun and pretty and love hanging out through your videos. lol that sounds awkward but thanks for doing what you do! :D
Just got our card from you today and then you showed ours 😊 Merry Christmas!!
❤❤❤
Wonderful video Crystal! It was so fun hanging out with you!💖✨ You bring such warmth and joy into your videos. They always make me so happy! You are so sweet and thoughtful 💕 Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you had a wonderful date night and enjoyed the Nutcracker ☺️🤗💖🎄
Thanks for bringing us along with you! It was fun hanging out with you! I’m impressed you can sit on the floor and wrap gifts!😂. That is a lot of stockings! They look great! Merry Christmas to your wonderful family!
I have twins too (mine are 22 now). They were Baby A and Baby B. One always got red stuff the other got blue stuff. It brought me back to the younger days when I saw your red and blue scooters.
I enjoyed watching this video... long or short. I watch videos with my hubby about repairs and most of them are an hour or two long. HAHAH While watching your video, I was working on my grocery list and added what I needed to make the cake balls. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
If you add a little bit of vegetable oil to your melted chocolate, it will be much smoother. That's what I do when I dip strawberries. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.
Cold balls and Nutcrackers Crystal! I can't with you. 😂❤ Those looked really tasty though. Jingle all the way 🤣
Wait until your kids get older and marry, and then have kids…we are up to 12 stocking on our mantle now. 😂🥰🎄🎅🏻
Thumbs up, you did great!
We love fruit pizza in our family too❤
The cake balls looked yummy! Honey all that matters is they taste good and I'm betting there won't be a single one left😉 Hoping to get my shopping finished up on Wednesday then I guess I'll be as ready as I'm gonna get!
The coffee cups are back in stock!
I went and bought 2 battery boxes for the son in laws❤ Candy melts need quite a bit of coconut oil to get a decent dipping consistency. Add 1 tsp at a time until you are happy with the drip. 1 made over 200 of them for my daughter’s wedding last Feb. it was trial and error too but by the end I was quite happy with my efforts
So cute, your kids look just like DAD🌲🧑🎄🌲
Personally I love the longer videos as it allows me more time to sit down and relax!! I hope you enjoyed date night with your husband and that "The Nutcracker" was amazing. My husband and I just went last week Thursday to see "Peter Pan" at the Ordway Theater in downtown St. Paul. It was so beyond good and definitely worth the price of admission. It is here until December 31st so if you and your husband are up for a road trip (since you live relatively close to the Twin Cities), it is so worth your time and I would highly recommend going.
From all the videos I’ve watched about using the candy melts, I think the trick is to add just a little bit of Crisco shortening. Not butter.
That cookies look delicious
You’re the cutest couple 😊
Crystal love your videos.
Girl, they have all kinds of flavored vodka these days! I'm amazed everytime I go looking for flavored vodka! I make jello shots every year for my besties pool birthday party. I try and match the flavor of the jello to the same flavor vodka! The whipped cream one is always good!
A little coconut oil will thin out your chocolate coating for next time.
Great video Crystal, I like to be chatty myself, no worries there! Oh yes gotta squeeze in the trip to the liquor store, I did that last week so yes I will be ready, sticking to tried n true, what we know we like, I tried an egg nog one year n it was terrible, we drank it just to not waste money so live n learn, it’s celebratory no harm in that! Thank u so much for sharing, enjoy! 😊❤️🎁💕⭐️
Lots to get done and you are doing a great job:) I hope your sweet dinner date was fun and the play was fantastic:) can I just say nobody cares if your Christmas balls aren’t perfect as all they care about is how great they taste:) I learned a long time ago when I give or take goodies they ask for them again next year:) by the way I don’t mind if your videos are long I enjoy seeing what you make:) tfs and Merry Christmas:)
A lot accomplished that day. Oh, and still had time to see a play & Dinner 🍷..M❄️M of ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️
You haven't tried whipped cream flavored vodka? You have been missing out. It's one of my favorites! You can use it in many drinks. Happy holidays!
❤❤❤🎅🎄🎅
Crystal, never scrimp on the alcohol 😂 and your cake balls look great! 😊
Crystal, Crystal, Crystal, you KNOW you needed that Baileys lol. I do too! Yes, sweetheart, you can get every kind of flavored vodka known to mankind. I discovered this a few years ago while shopping for a drink recipe. Blew me away. You crack me up each year about some kind of balls. My husband went hunting for his special "nuts" the other day which brought up all kinds of silly humor. Have a merry Christmas and a blessed time with your families. xoxTXDeb
I enjoy eating the cake balls, but there has got to be a less messy way to dip/coat them!
Love your videos no matter what you are doing. It just brightens my day and adds Joy!
Balls 😂🙃
I would love to have a bit quieter or no music in the background when you are talking! Don't want to miss a word 🤩🎅
I just love you and your videos Crystal. You are always such a joy to watch because you are always smiling and working and not fussing about everything. You are such a great mother and wife, I love to see your interaction with your children. I think your cake balls came out fine. We did cake pops for my granddaughters birthday party one time and ended up using cake donut holes and they worked out ok. I think we drizzled the candy icing which made it easier. You made your Christmas wrapping look so easy. 😊❤😊🎄🦌🔔🎅
Girl…..use a fork to dip 😂
Rest the cake ball on the fork, dip and tap on side of bowl. Slide off the fork gently with another fork.
I do Peanut Butter Buckeyes and Peppermint Patties every year.
You are too cute... I wish I got date nights.. our Christmas work party in January will be my date night hoping he don't go mingle without me again this year 😢. Okay enough of oh pitiful me lol. Tfs xoxo merry Christmas I haven't made cakeballs in years I def. Need to do them again, still gotta do cookies 🎄 🇨🇽 🎅 🌲 🧑🎄
They sell the whipped cream vodka at the liquor store, but beware, it’s strong! Lol
Anyway to find out where the ornaments came from???
Where did you get your slippers and red sweatshirt???
I must of missed where you bought the sign in the pantry. Could you let us know?
I prefer longer videos! I watch them when I am working out and the longer the video, the longer the gym visit lol 😂
So. Many. Balls. Jokes.
I will refrain from going there 🤣
You shouldblook to making your own flavoured sporits EG lemon and ginger check out some recipes on line very easy
Where are the light up ornaments from, sorry
You been busy gal and by the way, I think the chef at whatever restaurant you had your dinner forgot to cook your husband’s steak! 😂 sorry I’m from Kentucky!!!
Did I miss the home tour?
