Christmas Diaries: Winter Punch, Wrapping Gifts, Cooking, Journaling

Good morning, Jennifer! Well, dear, you did it again! Another absolutely beautiful, inspiring Christmas video!! My heart skip a beat literally every Sunday evening as I mentally prepare for Monday, because I know you will be a part of it! Such a blessing!! The recipes look amazing!! I will be making both, thank you!! Have a wonderful day and I absolutely cannot wait to see you Thursday!! With love, Kellie

Loved it! I triedLMNT already and I really enjoyed drinking it after my morning walk. I didn't know they had chocolate! I will try that next.

The very reason I love Monday mornings . . . Happy Christmastime, dearest Jennifer!

I love your videos; I feel they really relax me. Your gift wrapping is beautiful and I see you are wearing my favorite robe. I bought the PJ's but still have not pulled the trigger to buy the robe--but I just LOVE it.

Jennifer, thank you for spending such a wonder year with you, and with Victoria. I haven't missed your videos or an issue of Victoria. I only look forward to spending 2025 with you, as I start my second year of Intermittent fasting. Merry Christmas!!!!

Soooooo Christmassy 🎄🎄🎄🙂

You have so much time on your hands ❤ Sounds like a lovely day 😊

I enjoyed your last essay in Victoria! Indian food is one of my favorites, we just had it Saturday. Great video! 🎄🎄🎁

Excited to try that tortellini recipe! ❤

I love the chocolate flavors of LMNT in my coffee. They are so good.I am eagerly waiting for my copy of Lessons from Madame Chic to arrive; also your Keep Calm magnet in pink and the gorgeous Steampunk tumbler in black. I started a journaling membership in September and already regret it because it is just not my style. I am locked in for a year, but I rather just have a simple journal. I love writing too and used to keep a diary. Next year, I plan on using something like one of your beautiful notebooks. I plan on making your shrimp recipe soon. You always have such delicious recipes on your channel. I do miss living in San Diego and In-N-out Burger. The restaurants in San Diego were so good. Now, I am in cold Ohio and I do not like winter here. San Diego weather is my favorite. Anyways I look forward to your next video.

The wassail looks so good. In the South we say “wah-say-uhl” 😂😊 I am definitely going to make it and the tortellini this holiday season. I ordered the holiday notebook and nutcracker mug lined in green along with the Keep Calm mug in blue. Enjoy this season with all of your children at home. I just turned 60 and it has been over ten years since I’ve had Christmas with all three of my children together. Marriages, military service and careers have kept us apart on holidays. When you’re in the thick of it with your young ones, you don’t realize how that would ever change and change quickly! It’s ok though. I’ll celebrate on 12/11 with one, 12/15 with another and 12/26 with another! Christmas Day with my brother and his family. Honestly, it’s kind of fun to enjoy Christmas multiple times in the season. 🥰🎄🎅🏼 Merry Christmas Jennifer and everyone else!

REQUEST: I hope you’ll share even more recipes in 2025. I’ve tried and incorporated so many of your easy and delicious recipes in my own rotation. The tortellini featured in today’s video is sure to become a fast favorite! Thank you, Jennifer 🩷

I’m terrible at wrapping presents. I love a pretty bag with a beautiful bow. Especially for things like throw blankets or sweaters 😂

Another cozy Christmas video! I read your last Writer-in-Residence article, "Christmas Treasures," in Victoria, which is a lovely reminder to honor and treasure our family memories and decorations of past Christmases. Lots of great food ideas in this. I have not tried In-N-Out yet, but would like to find a meal delivery service that offers it.

Such a cozy Christmas video. My favorite kind! Love when you cook!
Jennifer, thanks for your beautiful videos. Have a wonderful week! 🩷

I bought the wasail holiday punch from aldi last year and was not a fan. I guess im not a fan of spicy punches it ended up in my fridge forever. But if you like it id suggest checking aldi they usually bring back their seasonal items.

I attended a wedding as a plus one in the fall and had so much fun wrapping a few vintage pieces for the couple. I found it an extremely creative outlet and alot of fun even though it took hours 😅 im not sure if it is customary or appropriate to give vintage items though, so that hesitation took awhile to overcome. I don't attend many weddings but do visit friends babies on occasion and will consider wrapping them (time permitting!) as i usually just use a giftbag

Jennifer the correct pronunciation is mango lus-see 😊 like the word "lu-st" 😊 looks yummy. Ive been craving a dosa for months now 😅

Request: i would love to see if/how you set up your home office. I've started working from home/car and need some inspo, as my neck is currently killing me

Have you & family seen wicked yet? Thoughts?

Love your recipes and your gifts are so beautifully wrapped! Looking forward to your next video!

We treasure you all year long -- dear Jen.

Always there are tasty looking recipes. I love the beautifully wrapped gifts. Enjoyed the video.

Love this video. The tortellini recipe looks amazing, as does the punch and cranberry upside down cake.
Love the pretty piano Christmas music in the background. Superb.

My family loves wassail. I have made it for decades. Sometimes, I use apple cider, and sometimes, I use cranberry juice. I am hoping my Trader Joe's has the cranberry tart! I am enjoying your Christmas videos! ❤

That Wassail recipe probably makes the home smell devine ✨

🥰

That is so beautiful that you are in Victorias Book!

I love your Christmas vlogs where you share your recipes, outfits, wrapping. And journaling! Thank you for sharing your life with us!🎄🎅🏻❤️

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

Such a cozy video! It really brings some calm to this hectic season. Especially the beautiful music! ❤

What is the name of the Trader Joe's Christmas Drink?

Great video; really putting me in the Christmas spirit. Friendly tip: ask your mother-in-law how to pronounce wassail, lol. Your recipe looks delicious!

I just love your Christmas videos, I look forward to them every year! Thank you 😊

QUESTION. Jennifer, could you please include in your upcoming journaling video,all types of journaling that exists? It was news for me to hear that it was one type and there is another type. Thank you!

Pasta dish looks sooooo goood!

In n’ Out shakes really are the best 😁
