Watching this after Christmas. This year my sister came and stayed overnight with me. She said she is with her son, daughter in law, and grandchildren all the time. She wanted to be with her sister this year. I am so blessed to have her. She is 84 and I am 70 and our mortality is an ever present shadow. Such a nice Christmas. Looking forward to more content in 2024. Happy New Year.

I had a really bad december this year, loads of anxiety, mental breakdowns, relationship problems, etc. But every morning as I sat down to watch your vlogmas I felt like I was taken to a safe space. To hear you talk about your own mental health as something that in the past has been an incredible burden and a hard thing to come to terms with, but now seeing you deal with it in such a healthy way and talking about it in a way that makes it seem okay and (most of the time) tolerable. Its really inspired me. In these hard times you have given me a place where I can forget about my own anxeities for just a little bit. I will forever be thankful to you for that. Can't wait to watch more knitty content from you in the future.

Happy Christmas and a massive thank you to you and yours for opening your home and heart to all of us. what a gift you are. beautiful and heartfelt christmas tidings. lovely and memorable. so glad it was so happy for YOU TOO!!!! love and hugs to all.

So happy you were able to enjoy yourself for the whole Vlogmas in spite of some bumps in the road along the way. Hold on to the peace and beauty of all your Christmas smiles. You have worked so hard to accept yourself. Job well done, Laura.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely family with me. I love what you do, and I look forward to spending time with you all again in 2024. Best wishes to all of you and may health and happiness be yours in all the days to come.

Laura, I cannot thank you enough for once again adding joy to my Christmas season. Thank you for the time and effort you took to share your holidays with us, and thank you even more for the sharing of yourself that you did and continue to do. I honestly cheered for you as you cried at the end of this episode. What a celebration I feel for you and the healing and work you have experienced over the past year. 2023 was a year of great mental health progress for me, and I thank you for being an authentic voice that echos growth and the beauty therein. Merry Christmas!

Laura, journeys are never on flat ground, but rather there are peaks and valleys that you will travel on through your journey of life. Enjoy the journey because sometimes it’s not so good (valley) and sometimes it’s wonderful (peak) but it’s all the same journey. I am so glad to hear that this Christmas was so much better for you. And, I live in the United States, and I’ve never heard of anyone using any type of hot water bottle. I ordered one and knit a hot water bottle cover and now I use it when I sit and knit in my chair and even place it on my back when I sleep at night. So thank you for bringing me my Christmas enjoyment of the hot water bottle. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Laura, you are so genuine and lovable. We love you and the joy you bring us sharing your life. To see tears of happiness is wonderful. You were my favorite vlogmas! Love you and look forward to next year. I’m in tears right with you.

I'm so glad I found your podcasts, I really enjoy them. Holidays can be very stressful. Beautiful family. You are awesome.

Thank you, Laura, for taking us with you during the days to Christmas. I just loved watching it! Have a wonderful 2024!

Thank you Laura for bringing us on your vlogmas journey. You are a strong, brave and inspirational woman. A lot of what you voiced about your anxiety resonated with me, I had such arguments with my husband about attending events where I was so worried about going, making conversation and most of all being judged. Now sadly he is no longer with us I am realising what was going on and that I was not just being difficult. Keep going your content is very much appreciated. I have been an under confident knitter for 40 years and watching KZread is giving me a huge boost. Thank you ❤

Laura! You looked just fabulous in your sparkly pants and fancy top for Christmas Eve. The joy on the kids faces when they unwrapped their gifts! Loved your red dress too, just the ticket for the big day. Thank you so much for sharing snippets of your UK life with the world during Vlogmas this year. Time for a well deserved rest, lovely lady. Hope your Boxing Day was just as wonderful, and a very Happy New Year to you and yours xx

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day (does one say that?), Laura and all the Penroses! Sooo happy to see you so happy!! My mom the therapist would say that 2023 Laura wouldn't be 2023 Laura w/o 2022 Laura. We're all plied yarn of multiple strands of a variety of fibers, which gives us our strength, pliability, and resiliency. And I do love the way Laura Yarn knits up 😊. Tho thousands of miles apart, I'm so struck by how much we are all alike. Vlogmases from all over the world really underscore that. There's a beautiful chord of different foods, traditions, holidays, histories, etc., but these windows into distant families show that the rhythm and melody of our lives are so much alike, and they're all composed of the same notes of love. Thanks so much for letting us sing along with you ❤️!

I appreciate your honesty and openness about your mind and your daily battles. I admire your strength for staying gentle with yourself! Have a good 2024 ❤

This was my first year discovering Vlogmas and yours became the first one I would watch each evening while I knit and the one I ended with as I didn't enjoy many of the others as much. Your Christmas spirit and giggle are infectious and helped me find some spirit as well. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you!

We had to delay Christmas this year because my husband got sick. But I still got to have all those Christmas vibes because of you. Thank you for making this holiday season so much better with your Vlogmas. I can't wait to see where 2024 takes you!

Laura…I thoroughly enjoyed your Vlogmas episodes and I so appreciate you sharing your traditions and family with us! Looking forward to 2024 with you I know it will be Super!!! Thank you!

Laura, it has trubeen a joy to be with you this holiday. I cried too because I am going to miss this. Please enjoy the rest of the kids holiday and we'll join up again in the new year! We'll have to think of more specific reasons to vlogmas every couple of months. Valentine'svlogish? Springvlogitis? ?? Loved it and thanks for all your hard work putting it together during a very hectic season.

Thank you for taking us along this december! It was so nice! I wish you and your family a happy and healthy 2024!

Laura, it has been delightful following you this vlogmas, sharing so much with us all even the sad parts. You really are an inspiration to everyone. Thank you for being you

Thank you so much Laura for sharing your December life and preparations with us all. Looking from the outside you have made so many positive changes in your life this year and embedded them so well. Your happiness is so deserved. Happy New Year to you and your lovely family xx

I know I'm a bit late to this - like you said Christmas and New Year caught up with me, but spending this week unwell has allowed me to finally catch up with Vlogmas! I just wanted to say thank you so much for such a warming, lovely series. It has kept me company through a lovely (but challenging) festive period, like having a permanent friend on call when I need her most! I hope that you have recovered from it all and wishing you all the best in 2024!

It has been wonderful being part of vlogmas. I’ve so enjoyed watching you and the children preparing for Christmas and seeing your advents. I’m looking forward to the extra vlog as I am one of your Patrons but will definitely miss the regular vlogs (you did so well to do them almost daily). Thank you so much Laura. Wishing you and your lovely family a fabulous 2024 and I hope you continue to feel good 😊

Thank you Laura for bringing so much joyful moments into our lifes. I was crying with you in the end because it was such a wonderful time. I'm very looking forward to see you again on patreon for one last episode of vlogmas. Thank you again for sharing with us and a happy new year to you and your family.

You are the sweetest girl. Your honesty is heartwarming. Bless you and your wee family. Love from Newfoundland, Canada

Thank you Laura, thank you so much for your lovely Vlogmas , yours is the only one I looked forward to every day and watched from start to finish for the entire month of December! Thank you for being such an amazing human being, sweet, kind and true! May your days be always so merry and bright! ✨💫🌟🎄☃️♥️

To my lovely Laura. I am beyond proud of you my friend. From last year to this, you have found so much peace with just being wonderfully you. Thank you for bringing us all along with you for vlogmas. I'm sure many will agree that your Christmas feels authentic and doesn't leave anyone feeling like they "aren't doing enough". We've had so many planned things that haven't happened this December for one reason or another and to see other people have no guilt about that is so comforting. Thank you for being one of my "people", i'm incredibly blessed to have you in my life. Here's to 2024! Much love xx

Thank you lovely Laura for taking the time to bring festive spirit to our December. This year was the first time filming for me and I haven’t felt more festive in years if ever. It’s so fun to see your kids since they are so close in age with mine and the end where they were playin Super Mario was hilarious because that’s also played in this household. Happy New Year! ❤😘

Thank you for sharing your December with us. I’m glad this vlogmas was positive and different from last year. Thank you for sharing your family with us and feeling you can talk about your health problems. Watching you go through your struggles and how you have worked through them and continue to do so is definitely my best part of 2023. I aspire to be more like you and treat myself better. I cannot wait to see what 2024 has in store ❤🧶

Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’ve enjoyed Vlogmas with you so much and I’m so glad to see your happiness and satisfaction with where you are now. It’s wonderful and I’m so happy for you!

Dear Laura, happy to see you are so much better than last year and that you had such a lovely Christmas with your family 💕 you are right and it’s not easy and happy everywhere and for me it was/is quite tough tbh with one child (of two) that is REALLY different (and difficult). Tears are coming almost every day at the moment. Let’s hope you are right and 2024 will be a good one ❤

Thank you for sharing your December with us so honestly. Seeing your raw emotions was so validating for me and I think helped me process my own difficult feelings this time of year. I hope you get some time to relax and have a wonderful new year!

It gives me so much joy and hope to watch these videos and seeing how kind you are to yourself and how much you take care of your mental health. I really admire your journey and hope to one day come close to it! Spent half of christmas on the brink of overwhelm and then an hour hiding on the floor behind a bed close to a breakdown.. all because I didn't have the courage to tell my in-laws (didn't want to let them down and all that) that their 2 hour christmas morning walk triggers me a lot and stresses me out because I don't feel like we have the time for it and then I just have to stress until Christmas dinner because of the walk (especially with two kids under two, who need to eat, sleep, get dressed for a walk and celebrations and so on before Christmas dinner) Should have just taken those 2 hours to myself instead, gotten myself ready in a calm quiet house and maybe knit a little bit and then gotten the kids ready when they got back... maybe next year I will be as strong as you and as far along on the journey to prioritize myself over what I think my in-laws will think if I don't go on the christmas walk. Like I said, you are an inspiration and I really appreciate that you share your journey. ❤ Hope the rest of your Christmas celebrations and new year was lovely! 🥰

Thanks for this year's Vlogmas, Laura. You've been my KZread highlight this Christmas season! Happy New Year to you and yours!

Thank you so much Laura for bringing us all along for your 25 days of Vlogmas. You are a jewel and your little family is so precious! I have enjoyed every episode and will miss tuning in every evening to see what you have been up to. I wish you good health, mentally and physically, and everything that is good and positive for 2024. Please don't wait too long until your next podcast - I will be going through withdrawal. 😂🥰

Dearest Laura, thank you so much for this year's vlogmas❤ you were talking about how you use vlogmas to kind of freeze in time cozy memories of you and your family, but maybe you don't know how much it means to us too😊 Really your vlogmases brought comfort, joy and fun to my december, and your videos felt like the coziest companions through happy times and meanwhile a safe space to go during harder moments. I also got a little teary at the end but it's just because I could understand really well what you said about being happy and grateful for the progress you made from the past year. We all should take a minute to pause, pat ourself on the shoulder and maybe have a little happy cry, if that feels good, because we did a great job and it's that job we did on ourselves that we'll make us be better and nail 2024! Happy 2024 to you Laura and to all the people here, see you soon!

Laura, I hope that after all the great content, you take the time to relax and take a break! ❤ You are the only creator I followed religiously throughout this vlogmas, and I'm so thankful for every single video! All the moments of coziness and Christmas spirit were a joy to follow along 😊 I can't wait to see what 2024 has to offer for you! 🎉

Thank you for such a wonderful Vlogmas, Laura. This is the third year I’ve watched along, and I really look forward to watching each video x

Loved every minute of your Vlogmas. I wish you and your lovely family a happy and healthy 2024. Keep going! You're doing great xx

I’ve watched and loved every day of your Vlogmas! Thank you so much for being you! Wishing you the best in the new year and can’t wait to see what 2024 brings to you and your beautiful family!

Thank you Laura. This was very generous of you to share so much time. It’s a lonely time for me so I really appreciated the company. All the best to you and yours. ❤

Awh, Laura!! Thank you for sharing a wonderful Christmas season with us!! It was a joy to watch your Christmas spirit, your delightful kids, and to follow along on your knitting/advents. Sending much love and hugs your way, and wishing you all the best for 2024!

Your Vlogmas was my favorite! I’m so glad you are in such a good place this year! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!!

I had saved this episode for the very last and it was hard to bring myself to watch it and thus end Vlogmas. Yours is always one of my favorites to watch, you bring so much comfort, joy and inspiration. Thank you for sharing and I wish you a fantastic New Year, I hope you smash your goals one by one. Much love 💖

But those fairy wings! 💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing such a wonderful vlogmas, Laura. Best wishes to you and your family for a happy, healthy new year.

Loving the fairy wings 😊

Really lovely Vlogmas . Thank you so much , it’s been a pleasure to tune in and see what you’ve been up to . Great honesty. Wishing you a very Happy New Year 2024. I look forward to completing a sweet school blanket this year with my lovely advent from My Yarny Corner 😊

Thanks for sharing Laura, I’ve been a viewer for a couple of years and it’s so lovely to see you thriving this year.

Happy holidays Laura, it has been wonderful to catch up with you this month and I wish you all the very best for a joyful and peaceful 2024 💗

Love your vlogs and podcasts. So glad you had such a wonderful Christmas, we did too with family visiting from the UK….chaos but lovely! All the very best for the New Year, and can’t wait to see you and your knitting projects next time.

This Christmas for me has been rough. Thank you for Vlogmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I do hope your new year has started off well! You bring so much joy and light to You Tube!

Except for no snow yet in Minnesota, Christmas was lovely for us. New kitten is a joy! We named her Molly Christmas! Adorable beyond belief, just over one pound. I sing in my church choir; this is always a blessing, especially on Christmas Eve. Your kids are such fun to watch, certainly at this special time. We enjoyed our "kids" and grandson (8) and are grateful to have family. Enjoy the rest of your holiday! 🎄

Thank you so much for a fabulous vlogmas. Merry, merry Christmas and I can’t wait to enjoy your podcasts in 2024. Cheers from Chris

Looks like you’ve had a lovely holiday 🎆🥂🍾💕☮️💫 refreshing 😊 you and your family have so many wonderful traditions 🎄🎶☀️🧩🧶♥️

Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄 it has been a great pleasure to watch your vlogmas and I am looking forward to seeing you in 2024🥂

I love hearing the children wish us Merry Christmas! Bless them and you.

Happy Christmas Laura. Your vlogmas was so wonderful. I enjoyed watching all of them throughout the month. It's made me determined to bring a bit more festive joy into my own home next year.♡

Merry Xmas Laura! this year´s vlogmas has been so joyful to watch, especially since I am myself not in the best head space. So it really is a reminder that things do evolve, and dark moments don´t last forever. Feliz Navidad to you and your adorable fam!

Merry Christmas, Laura! I've enjoyed your Vlogmas episodes very much! All the best for the new year!❤

Merry Christmas dear Laura and thank you for this wonderful vlogmas!

A big Thankyou Laura for a wonderful Vlogmas, have a happy new year 🧶🎄

Thanks so much for your wonderful vlogmas , I enjoyed every episode. Your adorable children make me smile and I loved the end photos of them, so sweet. ! Looking forward to next year and your podcasts , Happy New Year ,

I am glad I was able to share your Christmas season. This is the first year I even knew about Vlogmas, and I have learned a great deal. I am honored that you decided to be the real you and you shared the good and the areas you have felt vulnerable. Know that you are stronger than you believe you are, and you dont have to think you are faking it... believe it... you are strong, brave, and willing to share truth instead of hiding it behind a smile of pain. May 2024 be filled with great Joy and creative inspiration.

Merry Christmas Laura ❤

Merry Christmas to you 🎄🍀🥂

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for a great vlogmas.

Merry Christmas Laura 🎄🥂🎉

Laura, this has been such a wonderful Vlogmas spent with you and your beautiful family. I really haven’t been able to keep up with all the different podcasts this season but I made a point of not missing yours. It’s so refreshing to see a honest view of another’s life and know that every day is not roses. You’re so authentic and real and I truly love you for that, you’re doing an amazing job as a mom and as a podcaster. Have a wonderful Xmas season filled with love and laughter and the most joyous New Year. Sending all my hugs and cheers from Canada ❤️

Thank you for a fun vlogmas. I am new to these and had so much fun with your content. Thanks for all of your effort! Happy New Year!!

Thank you for sharing so honestly what your life is, it is very inspiring and so helpful! 🥰 It did really help me take some difficult decisions, after listening to you talk so honestly about your own mental health! It was such a great part of my own advent period (and gave me the push I needed to stay on track with my own vlogmas recording/editing). 🎥😂 Mymy, a new fan from France! ❤

Thanks again Laura, take the next few days to enjoy your family and knitting time. Happy New Year 🎉🎊💐

It’s been an absolute pleasure to have found your vlogmas. You are the sweetest and most authentic person and I love watching you shine on your daily life. Merry Christmas to you sweet Laura and I can’t wait for your new releases this coming 2024.
