So me and my 3 year old son watched this vlog together like we always do and he said "look mummy... it's your pretty friend who talks to you all the time" 😂

How adorable

I wanted to send you a big hug. Losing a parent is really hard, and I hope that you're ok. I lost my Mum 8 years ago now, but I still think of her, especially at Christmas. Sometimes you're alright and then sometimes you're not. There is no time limit on grief. Xx

I agree, I don't think grief ever really ends, we just have to learn how to go on and know that we will see our loved ones again someday.

When the sun shone through on you during the segment when you were nervous about Christmas without your Dad, that was your Dad giving you a reassuring hug and telling you that you will all be fine and letting you know he’s there’s x it will be a wonderful Christmas Day. ❤

@@Goodfight7miserable sod. Where is the harm from someone trying to offer reassurance. The fact that you felt it necessary to call it ridiculous speaks volumes about you.

Sending you and everyone here that has lost someone a healing hug. Grief is a beast for sure. I have always felt that time is your friend but watching you today, takes me back to the day we lost our dad like it was yesterday. Lean into your loved ones and know that your dad is still within you and Noah too! Thank you for the joy you give us each week, and I wish you peace, joy, and contentment during this blessed season.

Saying about your dad “he loved Christmas - he WAS Christmas”. Wow, that brought tears to my eyes 🥺 such a beautiful thing, and I’m sure you are this for your Noah now ❤

I lost my dad four yrs ago. I know exactly how you feel, everything you said, is spot on for a lot of us that have lost a loved one. Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year, but also the hardest. Sending you a huge hug ❤

I’ve lost both my parents with my dad in June this year I feel sad as I’m an only child also but my parents wouldn’t want me to be sad so I’m going to try my best to focus on this and the times I had with them x

That’s sudden burst of sunshine was your dad coming to tell you he is always with you Gemma, I lost my dad at Christmas time 12 years ago and I miss him every single day, always find strength in knowing they are always with us and they watch over us ❤️ merry Christmas to you and all your family and sending so much love and positivity for the year ahead ❤️

Gemma, thank you for being so honest and sharing your grief surrounding your father's passing. As an adult, with an elderly mother, I often wonder how I will have to one day navigate life without her(oh it hurts to even write that). Hearing your experiences brings....comfort, if that's even the right word, to me. I know it's a part of life but one you can't be fully prepared for. So, thank you. Thank you for sharing your journey. I appreciate it and you. Wishing you peace during the holiday season. And a wonderful Christmas to you, Jamie, and Noah. ❤❤❤

Never heard of bed dread but BOOM now I know what I've been feeling lately 😂 Bloody awful feel your pain tired mamma here!!! 🙏

I cant believe the log burner is not going that would be the ultimate picture of Christmas ,Cheese, Film, Family, Cozy & warm My Mum and Dad & sister have died and the feeling you have where you almost forget they have is built into you to protect you. Every now and again it pops to the front to let you know you will always remember them.

Christmas has always been such a special time of year to have the whole family together. My dad absolutely loved having us altogether on Christmas ❤️ it's now 17 years since his passing and you still feel the loss but we love sharing special Christmas memories together we had with him ❤️ Mind yourself and celebrate the memories you had together ❤️🎄

Christmas is without a doubt the hardest part of the year. I've lost so many& it's also the anniversary of my best friend on Christmas day. Many years have passed & I miss them more every year. My daughter has saved me in a way a person needs saving without truly knowing it. My heart goes out to everyone that has lost loved ones, especially at Christmas ❤

There's never anything you can do to cover up the emotions of losing someone and you shouldn't lose the time you can spend together because of this as life is short. It's sad BUT you overcome sadness together & it will probably feel good as always good to see family/friends to lift each other up ❤ I lost my stepdad in 2014 & it still brings tears to my eyes to thnk about it, it will never go away BUT we can't let it be a barrier. xx

Rest In Peace to your sweet father! he raised an amazing woman. enjoy Christmas with your family your father is there in spirit!

You know you'll have a cozy Saturday when you see Gemma's cozy vlog 🤍🥰

Sending love to everyone who is grieving this Christmas ✨🕊️❤️

Oh Gemma, senidng you lots of hugs. I lost my mom this year and it's my first christmas without her. My mom sounds a lot like your day - absolutely adored christmas, she MADE it Christmas. My dad and Sisters and I have all been trying to find christmas again this year but it's been hard. It is hard, you're not alone.

Your dad is now free of his body and he is with you all the time he was there when you had your baby, he was there as you were watching Stranger Things. He was there at the Christmas village. He was there when you launched your super business he was there when you got engagedand he is there now. God bless you at Christmas. God bless all of our Gemma community that love these cozy, cozy blogs that make us feel good.

Best start of the day watching Gemma. Love her vibes and cosy vlogs.

Your Dad is looking over you and he would be so proud of u dear Gemma🥹♥️..I lost my dad 8 years ago and not a single day goes past by wherein I don't get reminded of my Dad..Some griefs are life long but then we learn to live with it..Hope you have a fabulous Christmas Gemma..That ray of sunshine that fell over your face as you were speaking of your Dad was his blessing and love to let u know he is always there with you..❤🎁

Hi lovely I’ve never commented on your channel before until now, but listening to you talk about your dad not being with you anymore, and it will never be the same without him, especially at Christmas made me cry , sending you lots of hugs. It is my first Christmas without my dad, and I’m feeling absolutely broken, and dreading the day without him being with us . Sending hugs to everyone that have lost a loved one. Thank you Gemma for being such a genuine, kind and relatable person. On a lighter note , any bath bomb that is an animal, I also can’t let fizz away , you’re certainly not the only one lol. I used to put blankets on all of my teddies when I was a child, up to the age of 10 yrs , as i wanted them all to warm at bedtime !! Sorry for the extra long story 🤦‍♀️xx

Thank you for sharing what you could for your Dad. I understand how you feel and the waves that hit. This is the first Christmas without my sister, we lost her in July and ny heart is absolutely breaking, as this too was her favourite time of the year. We dont know how to do it without her and can't face our family traditions without her. Sending love to you and everyone here feeling the pain of their person missing ❤

Omg Gemma you had me in tears 😢talking about your dad, you must have had such a lovely bond with him, he’ll be watching over you all for sure, you’re feel it and see the signs, merry Christmas to you all ❤

Love your Vlogs Gemma, and always have one playing in the background while I am doing a cosy evening routine which are rare these days. They always make me feel so much better when I'm feeling rubbish and inspire me to make some time for self care pamper evenings. Thank you 🩷

Bless your heart Gemma ,it's such a sensitive time of year especially when someone you love has passed ,have a good cry whenever you need it , that's my advise and as time moves on you remember the love and fun without it hurting so much , sending love to all of you 😘😘😘

I know exactly how you feel as I have lost my mum and dad. 😪 when you were talking about your dad and the sun started shining, this was a sign from your dad giving you his blessing for your Christmas day plans. Have a wonderful day with your family, and make some new traditions! ❤❤❤

Gemma, what a wonderful video! First I have to tell you you look absolutely beautiful but then again you always do . That's a great idea about taking one hour and seeing how much cleaning you can get done in that time. That's great! And you accomplish so much. Your cheese board was incredible. It look like it could feed 10 people like you said. My mouth was watering while I was watching you put it together. I love the things that you bought for Christmas. All the little things and Noah's outfit. The Christmas outfit was so precious. Can't wait to see him in that. I like the decorations that you have in your kitchen. Your kitchen always looks in order and spotless good for you. I understand how you feel about going to your mom's for Christmas and your dad not being there. It's very hard I know. The happy times that we shared and the memories that we've made will stay in our hearts forever. Although the holidays are happy time, it brings a lot of sadness too when those we love aren't with us anymore . We are fortunate and blessed to have had them in our lives and like I said they live forever in our hearts and they live through us. One thing I have learned is that we never have them long enough. I'm sure you will. Have a lovely day Christmas day with your family and your father's memory will be in your Mom's home. You may even feel his presence. I wish you and Jamie and Noah the most wonderful Christmas with many blessings. God bless. Love you guys 🙏❤️🥰

Gemma, your videos bring me so much peace and joy I always look forward to a new upload. I lost my mom almost 5 years ago and it definitely is a lot harder during the holidays but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and it is okay for you to let yourself grieve and to remember to always be patient with yourself. ❤ Happy holidays I wish you blessings and lots of happiness 😊

Oh Gemma, everything you said about your Dads passing really resonated with me. The temporary forgetting I think is a coping mechanism and it's something we don't really talk about much. Maybe because straight after there's almost a feeling of guilt... all completely normal. The one thing I have found since my Dad's passing 2 years ago, is the closeness between my Mam and myself. I just know he would be so proud that we've unlocked this new dimension to our relationship. Your Dad will be so proud of you too, and I truly believe he's around you. Have a lovely Christmas, wishing you and your family well and sending love and healing to you all ❤

What a lovely video, always look forward to your videos. It was nice that you were talking about your dad, I think that always helps. It will get better as time goes on. You did bring a tear to my eye, holidays are always a bit hard. I think you will be fine with all of your family together . Merry Christmas Gemma,Jamie and little Noah. 🎄

Sending love and hugs. Grief sometimes just creeps up on you especially this time of year. A lot of us get it. Both of my parents are gone now. We all can just live and help each other. Your cheese board was amazing. I look forward to your content every week ❤

Hi Gemma! Been watching you many years since you began! When I feel the need to relax and feel happy, I watch you. You and your family are beautiful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year sweetheart ❤

Loved this vlog Gemma🤍 sending you lots of love, I can’t imagine how hard it can be not to have your Dad there this time of the year but know that I’m sure he’s going to be right there with you all, he would want you all to spend it just like you used to with him❤️❤️ have a lovely Christmas 🎄🥰

I stumbled across your vlog from when you first told everyone about losing your dad. I can remember I was telling a group of ladies I was doing a course with at the time that I'd lost my dad, and I was just how you were being. Trying not to get upset so hard, and I told the group to try to be practical so they would know what had happened and weren't offended if I seemed off. You're such a selfless person and I could see how much you didn't want your news to affect others yet you knew it was the right thing to do to be honest. I admire your strength and ability to be open with us all. I'm so grateful to have found your videos. If this helps in any way 5 years later I still miss my dad but seeing things in nature remind me of him that give me comfort. I still talk to him from time to time. Love and happiness to you Gemma you deserve all the beauty you shine through to others. Your vlogs have helped me so much especially as I find you incredibly relatable ❤

Gemma I love how you do a Xmas stocking for your mum every year,it’s never the same things and I bet she is always excited to see what you got her! 😊

Gemma you're young enough to be my daughter but I want to thank you for helping cheer me up, the past 3 yrs have been awful since losing mum, love watching you so thankyou so so much ❤❤

I lost my Dad during Christmas 6 years ago. It’s not the same anymore. Sending a hug to all those who don’t have their Dads at Christmas 🎄❤️ yet, it’s as if they are still here, only a thought, a memory away and it’s ok. What better place to be than with God 🙏🏻 we’ve got this Gemma. Also what a cheese platter! Never seen a better one in my life! 😱💗💗

Hi Gemma, what a cosy start to the day 😊 wishing you and all your subscribers a wonderfully festive weekend 😊

I felt everything you were feeling. I always say ‘when my Dad was here’ rather than when he was alive as it seems like that isn’t real!! This will be the 3rd Christmas without him and his absence is so obvious. He loved Christmas Day and just having us all together so it’s extra extra hard. I appreciate you talking about it when it naturally pops up as it’s comforting to know it’s the same for others 😍🥰

Enjoyed this cosy video SO much 🤍 I didnt knew about your Dad, but you talking about it was really heartwarming. The sun shining trough, was definitely a sign from him. So beautiful! Sending love and merry wishes from Belgium ✨

Happy weekend Gemma from the USA :) Skin and me seems to be a wonderful solution to skin issues that occurs overtime, so thank you for sharing with us new products. Also, I'm glad that you'll be together as a family celebrating Christmas and your father. I lost my brother a few years back and for sure the holidays are hard without our loved ones. Let's celebrate with them in our hearts and in keeping the hope to see them on the other side :) Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Thank you for sharing such a sweet video *and* talking about how hard grief can be this time of year. 💕

OMG! Im crying! What you said about forgetting that he is nog there, is so how I feel! I lost my dad three years ago and have this same feeling so much! ❤

I hope your holidays are filled with love, joy, peace and wonderful memories!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours from 🇺🇸!!!

Your Dad will always be with you, his spirit lives on through you and Noah too. He would want you to be together as a family, especially in his former home. I'm sure it will be a very special day. Sending love. ❤

Your dad will always be in your heart. Wishing you all the best for Christmas ❤❤❤

I lost my mum in May and this Xmas is going to be so hard without her. Miss her so much. xxx Hugs to you. xxx

Omg!!! Yes thank you, I feel the same way about my Dad it was his favorite holiday! And now this year it’s my mom that passed on 5/20/23 And it will definitely be difficult. I’m grateful you talked about this. Loving your videos.

Your dad is with you, no matter where you are. Merry christmas!!! 🎄 🌟 😇

My dads anniversary was 20 years this year. Half of my adult life so far. Its hard at this time of the year. When the sun shone on you though i got emotional. What a lovely comforting sign from your dad. He will be with you all on christmas day ❤. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and New Year. 🫶😘

That Sun streaming in the window was a light shining from your Dad xx ✨️ 💕

Sending love and big hugs your way Gemma. I always love your vlogs and you make me and I know others feel cosy and happy ❤

those fidget blocks are wonderful for fine motor skills and building up his ability to twist and use his hands and fingers to explore. Plus this will build his motor skills for when he may be problems solving and when he begins developing his early writing skills. love it and Merry Christmas!!

Hey Gemma, love watching your vlogs and especially the Christmas 🎄 ones! I completely understand your feelings when thinking about your dad. My dad was such an integral part of our huge family. He passed away from Covid, and every time I visit my mum, I feel the exact same. We always wonder how our mum feels if we feel this sudden pang of loss and sadness. 😟 And you're right, that feeling never goes. It's very hard when someone you love passes away, but we have no choice but to adapt. The other day I saw someone who looked like my dad and walked exactly like him, and I couldn't help but stare like a weirdo! I miss my dad a lot.😢😢😢

Big hugs Gemma , Thankyou for such a lovely vlog! You’ve inspired me to clean and to do my Christmas stockings. So Thankyou hun. Noah’s pjs look so adorable . You’re so thoughtful with your gift giving . Love that cheese board too! Bless you and your family this Christmas ❤. Xx

Ahhh, bliss!!! Good morning, beautiful souls, and thank you so much Gemma ❤

I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. We lost my dad a few months ago and I’ve had so many emotions about the holidays without him. I totally understand about things just hitting you all of a sudden ❤. Wishing you and your family comfort and peace this Christmas.

Gemma, your cheeseboards are a work of art 😍

I actually chocked up when you was talking about your dad ,this is my first Christmas without my dad and it's never going to be the same it's so sad ❤

Hi Gemma, I do the shaking thing too & im 65. Have always been scared of spiders. My dad died 42yrs ago & I think of him all the time, especially at this time of year so I know what your feeling & it’s nice to have memories. Happy Christmas to you and yours xx

I feel warm and fuzzy when you upload, comfort channel 🫶🏻

Sweet Gemma. I miss both my Mom and Dad, My Dad would have been one hundred years old this year, I was so blessed him to have him for so many years, He was my fishing buddy. Happy Holidays and Be Blessed everyone.,

Your dad will be there looking down on you all ,I’m the same my dad was my world. Sending hugs❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Enjoy the Christmas break gemma Jamie and Noah. Hopefully you can have some time off from work.

Loving the cheese board supper, given me an idea to have friends around over the holidays with no cooking evolved 😁❤

Awww! it is almost 2am here in the US and I have been binge watching your videos to catch up. I finished your latest one then started to feel a bit lonely considering its so late and I live alone (time for bed). Can you imagine my joy when I saw your video post!? I feel like my bestie just popped in for a visit and I'm no longer lonely. You are magic girlie! Cheers Gemma,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎆 Gemma , baby Noah and family. Have a blessed holiday season.❄️❄️❄️🍾🍾

It is the biggest wich of every Daddy who are in heaven ! I WISH YOU A WONDERFULL JOYFULL CHRISTMAS 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

thank you for being so open with us! love u

So happy to hear about Noah’s sleep! We had the same thing happen to us, went from sleeping 11hours staight at night, to taking SO long for him to sleep (wich made me terribly anxious) then waking up every hour. Only was like 2/3 weeks but felt like a lifetime. Now he is back to normal and were SO Happy. Dont wanna say it too loud 😂

Sending love Gemma! ❤️ I can’t imagine what it feels like to lose a parent! Big hugs 💞💞 xxx

Gemma, what you are feeling is perfectly alright... The deeper the love, the deeper the longing for our deceased loved ones... It takes time & everyone one has their own timeline...

Your dad illuminated you...that's so special❤❤❤

Wishing you lovely Christmas days Gemma and for your family 🎄✨️✨️ Memories never die and your dad is forever in your ❤ XOXO Linda 🧸🤎🤎💚❤

Yes, I know exactly how you feel! Christmas 2023 was the first without my dad, he died of lung cancer last year and it is so weird for him to not be there!!! I'm so sorry for your loss, it definitely feels like there is a void for sure!!!

The cheese board looked delicious 😋 love a Tilly interruption when you are trying to vlog 😆❤️

Lovely vlog. Glad you filmed in Queensgate, I haven't seen the decorations until now, so that was nice to see. Honeycomb, yes that is indeed wax (it is of course edible) and that is how they make bees wax candles. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

new fear unlocked, must shake towels and dressing gowns!! hahah! Love a cosy festive vlog, thank you Gemma!! 🎄🤍💞

The part where you talked about your Dad is exactly how I feel about mine I am going through the same thing every single year! I don’t know why I’m writing this but maybe because I feel it but can’t explain it. Send you lots of love ❤🎄

Finally catching up on your vlogs! Awww you wait till they get older and it gets soo cute! I think 2-3 is a special age when they finally get it xx

Aww Noah's Christmas pyjamas are so cute hes going to look adorable ❤❤

I know how you feel I loss my dad seven years ago and I miss him everyday . Every time I go to their house I still expect to see him in his favorite chair. He used to love decorating for Christmas

Absolute best way to start a Saturday

Eeeeekkkkk so excited😍 this time next week it will be Christmas Eve Eve🥹🥹❤

Hi Gemma and Jamie. I’m sorry for your loss, I lost my mom several years ago so I have great empathy with how you feel. Also I’m American and when I was little I ate honeycomb with my Grandpa. He would get a piece of the comb dripping with honey on a spoon and give it to me. He said don’t swallow the comb, it’s wax so just chew on it until all the honey is gone, then discreetly spit the wax of the comb into a napkin. I still eat it today like that, I don’t know if it’s the proper way,(if there is a proper way) to eat honey comb but I don’t like the wax. May God bless and keep you all with a bright Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Gemma hope your all OK and your getting your sleep, very sad about your dad , I can imagine what it's like , hope your Christmas 🎄 day is amazing x

Hi Gemma great vlog i always love your vlogs and cant wait until you post. I understand how you feel about your dad my dad passed away few days after Christmas and it was my dads favourite time of the year his family all together its not the same now but we always talk about my dad when we all together we have tears laughter so it makes it better, have a lovely day ❤ xxxx

Gemma, I can totally relate to the shaking of the dressing gown and the towels, I do the exact same thing, because one time there was actually a spider inside and it even bit me hope I didn't scare you too much, we'll just keep on shaking our dressing gowns! X

Happy Saturday Gemma, I've got my coffee, and now sat and watching this, cannot wait, looks so cosy. 😊 I had a spider in my towel and it went to go in the ear lol 😅 so I always shake the towel 😅 xxx

Hi Gemma what a lovely blog😊.It made me cry seeing the cute bits you’ve bought for your mum. I lost my mum when I was 16 and it just made me tear up thinking how I would love to buy my mum cute bits and spend time with her. I completely understand what you are going though as I lost my mum to cancer and it’s true that it never gets easier, but I do hope it makes you happy making new traditions with Jamie and Noah. Since I met my husband it has been easier as like you say sometimes I forget about it and sometimes it brings me down thinking about it, and I don’t like to talk about it much either. But I do hope you have a good Christmas with your family. I love watching your videos and I love your clothing brand. Sending you a big hug ❤

I understand. I don’t think grief ever ends. My sister passed away three months ago. I find myself wanting to call her. She took care of me when no one else would. She always made Christmas so special. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Lovely Saturday vlog to watch whilst I'm getting ready to go to Winter Wonderland in Plymouth 😊 ice skating with my children. It should be fun, I've not been since I was a child myself 😂

We lost our amazing dad in October a few days after being given the devastating news that he would not get better. It was his wish to see christmas one last time, as he too loved it so much, but it wasn't to be. Initially we thought about not celebrating at all, but he had made us promise that we would put up the tree, so we will do so, and know that he is with us. It is so raw when a memory catches you unexpectedly, even the chocolate aisle in b&m has had me in tears recently. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and others, who are missing loved ones x

Gemma I love watching you so much and I’m sending you a big hug ! I’m so sorry again about your father. I lost my mom at the age of 59 and daddy at 82 . My heart aches for you my friend.I love you God Bless ❤️💗❤️
