    I love all the videos where you visit your parents, they're both so funny and laid-back! I have probably watched your other video where you toured you dad's garden like 14 times . Also, I had a visceral reaction to when you cut that passiflora 💀

    Watching your videos brings a sense of nostalgia and melancholy… my family are so precious to me, but this love feels so bittersweet now. Just in recent years, I’ve lost so many people. This is the first Christmas without plans. My father loved to celebrate, but without him I have nothing to do. I don’t mean to be so depressing. Thank you for filming and inviting me/us to be a part of your holidays, during this lonely time of life.

    The meal Nicolas prepared obviously included the secret ingredient called: LOVE. The videos from your childhood home are so heartwarming. Whenever you mention visiting your parents I can't wait to see your Dad's garden. It's hard for me to imagine picking oranges off a tree in Dec!!

    Do you guys want a sister/daughter? Lol. Your family is so lovely and it makes me happy to see all of your joy and love of spending time together. I hope you know how special that is. I know it's probably odd recording your time together but we (the viewers) can legit feel the warmth you all radiate towards each other. It's so refreshing and uplifting to watch especially considering we all have experienced so many difficult and emotionally taxing things in the past few years, it's nice to consume media that makes you feel good about people and is just chill and pleasant overall. Happy holidays to you, chris, theo and the entire family and thanks for the wonderful videos.

    Thank you so much for showing us good, the bad, and the ugly of your plant care! It's refreshing to know that things happen and that no one is 100% perfect at plant care. I'm glad that I'm able to learn from your experiences.

    Just got back from a vacation as well and there were a few casualties among my plants. Suddenly I feel much better, knowing that even you (your plants look always so beautiful and happy) sometimes have to take some plants down after a trip. And the haircut looks great btw!

    That’s cool because I planted an avocado seed last winter and it didn’t sprout until summer when I brought it outside and now it’s about half size smaller than yours . I also have a Passiflora plant was given to me two years ago growing from seedlings, it was about three inches tall. Now it’s two years old. ❤
