When kids move out and onto college and their lives, traditions change and all family members have to adapt. So glad things worked out and you got a tree. It was so much fun seeing Mike let loose today!!
I miss having my kids at home especially since my husband passed away. Thanks for bringing a bit of joy in a time that can be hard for some people . Merry Christmas Donnelly family 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
When the wreath fell, all I could think of was "Christmas Vacation". Katie, thank you for volunteering to help with yard work through Habitat for Humanity. My father was going through cancer treatment and was unable to do his yard work and Habitat assisted in cleaning not only the leaves, but also rain gutters and the window wells. You are so appreciated for your public service and I hope you know what peace of mind it is for us, since we lived far away at the time, that someone was taking such good care of my dad and our house.
Christmas is about making memories. Christmas trees, gifts, stockings, goodies, decorations, etc., is cool, but it's the time spent together. Make Christmas/holidays your own, it's more special that way.. You guys are so good about making memories for you and your family, and making holidays your own. Love your videos.
This is what Christmas time is all about...The good times with family. Football. Christmas trees, And all the laughter and love. Side note: Jill nice technique pinning Ryan. Who knew you were that tough? Lol..: May God continue to Bless the Donellys throughout this Holiday season and beyond..!
Mike Love how you help keep the family in perspective with price of the tree. Love the interaction will the whole gang back together. I love your family's passion regarding your Christmas tree tradition. Such a awesome family fun vlog. Thank you for sharing. Katie such a strong young lady, Cheers
OMG this vlog was hilarious!!!! First the wreath falling down at the perfect time, then Jill wrestling Ryan and Daddio pulling Katie out the car!!! Ahhhhhh then pants off kid picture! Dying laughing! Love this family!
So happy to see the family reunited again,so nice to Brennan with everyone again ❤️ your channel. Glad you were able to get a tree,hope you guys have a great Christmas
Even though I have no family to spend Christmas with any more 🎄it really makes my day see you all laughing and fooling around 😀👍have a wonderful Christmas and my best you all for the New Year 🎄🎉❤️🇬🇧
Merry Christmas Donnellys!! So happy that you found the right Christmas Tree it looks awesome! Seeing everyone there is laughing, and having family fun is awesome!! I can't wait to watch your next video!!
Its a beautiful tree! Every time you guys film in the basement I always remember the time Brennon scared Ryan to death by banging on the door! Ha Ha Ha... sorry Ryan!
OMG I have never laughed so much at a vlog!! Thank you for sharing your Christmas traditions. Can you do a meet and greet when you are at Disney on spring break?
Man $105 for a tree thats insane!!!!! We started getting the fake tree since the real tree by us was soooooo expensive for something that's gonna be thrown out after Christmas. Y'all are an amazing family ❤️
You are so funny! when Kate took the tree also when you all were trying to choose which tree to pick up. I need to see the picture Jil took of Kate Ryan and Brennan Lol
Woow christmas trees 🎄 are expensive over there 😅. Here you have a very nice one for about 20-30 euroes 😂. But love these videos with the whole family together and seeing Mike’s sense of humor is awesome!
If you have issues finding a tree next year, come south to SoCo. There are several locations/farms were you can cut a tree or they are fresh cut (weekly). Also, you can get a tree twice the size for the same price - look at my FB post of our tree...we spent the same amount. But it Mike's fault - I'm with Katie on this one. :)
Mike next year go get the tree keep it watered until the kids get home from college. However since you will be going to Florida buy an artificial tree.
Yes, that's exactly my thought! Real trees are nice and all but such a pain to drag out of the house when season is over. Then there are a million and a half needles all over the place. Solution: Buy. An. Artificial. Tree. Pre-lit. Easy to assemble no muss no fuss looks great. Will last for years. $105 tree...highway robbery! Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Artificial Tree!
They bought a precut tree and saved the life of one tree. Save the trees, Mr. Beast and clan don't want to have to start all over,lol. Merry Christmas Donnelly Family, hope the season is everything you are wishing for. 🌲❄🇨🇦⛄☃️🍁🤶🎅🔔
I never had this with my family it was always separated, I've always not enjoyed Christmas because of this and this just makes me want to love crhistmas again
As much as I like Katie… I can see her throwing a fit next year if her family gets the tree without HER BUT she’s completely fine with getting one without Brennan 🤷🏼♀️ no need to blame or make people feel bad… just make good memories and enjoy time with family 😊
@RainWanders True! BUT I was the sibling that was excluded from family things because my sibling wanted them done their way 🤷🏼♀️ and that behavior isn’t just today but it is a teen behavior and can usually be solved by food or a good nap 😊
Just do a Clark Griswold, drive to the woods and dig one out of the ground. 🤣🎄 I’m sick of this hot weather in New Orleans, we need it to feel like Christmas!
It’s really hard to accept when your kids have grown, and family traditions have to change a little bit. In the end, its not about the tree but about the family experience and memories together huh.
when I was younger I liked a live tree but they're so messy and it his a hassle so wen't to a fake tree and liked it but then stringing lights was a hassle so moved on to a prelit tree haha
No matter what family it is, if there are boys, there is random background wrestling...my 40 year old boyfriend and his 42 year old brother do the same thing, and there are times I get involuntarily thrown into the mix...omg I'm old
trees are expensive. however I bought my 6 foot, rose red artificial one on ebay for 30 dollars.... it was shipped from an amazon in new jersey! lol ;-)) yep, the person sold one on ebay, but bought it on amazon... don't matter to me as long as it's decent.
I am one of 6 kids. We are all adults. You gotta face the fact that some traditions like going to get the Christmas tree all together will probably change. What are you going to do next year with Brennan and Katie both at college? Just saying and being realistic
Just a thought the Donnelly's have been blessed instead think of the reason for the season. Give back donate that $105 to a local soup kitchen take part of your day to make Christmas for those in need. Help serve a Christmas meal in a shelter we all take for granted what we have been blessed with, Pay it forward. No hate but do what you can for others a tree is meaning less.
Thanks for the reminder. We do lots of charity and donating that we don’t talk about on camera. We hope you enjoy your Christmas and may the peace of the Lord be with you❤️

I never seen Brendan this talkative and hyper before…. He’s probably just really excited to back home with his family lol
Or he’s blossomed in college

I'm not a Christian but I think you understand Christmas really wrong 🤔

I need to point out that i love the view from the house to the lake... While Jil was explaining all about the lights I was amazed by the view! OMG...
So happy to see the family reunited again,so nice to Brennan with everyone again ❤️ your channel. Glad you were able to get a tree,hope you guys have a great Christmas

This was such a good vlog. It felt like a Christmas comedy movie. I laughed so hard 😂
I have to agree that this year seems like my most disorganized and rushed as far as decorating. Glad to have it done though. It’s always worth it.
just seeing all 5 of you together again makes me happy :)
13:31 Awww 😊 Katie needs a warm comforting Hug 🤗
The banter between dad Mike and Katie 😂😂😂😂
And Ryan just:😏
My guess this wont happen next year
we know Ryan will not let it happen again next year
Poor Katie! I love that she just sleeps through it , she is used to it!
I agree with you 100% usually I love to be sleeping as well like Katie.
So much fun when everyone is back in the vlogs
Your family makes me happy especially Katie. Also baked 140 cream cheese sugar cookies yesterday!!
Merry Christmas Donnellys!! So happy that you found the right Christmas Tree it looks awesome! Seeing everyone there is laughing, and having family fun is awesome!! I can't wait to watch your next video!!
I don't know how that glass top coffee table hasn't gotten broken yet with the kids wrestling on the couch. Lol.
You pay big bucks if you wait! 🎄 Y’all are such a sweet family☺️ Merry Christmas
11:45 Mike is like GET OUT OF THE CAR
Your tree looks great! You guys did a great job picking one out and decorating it…🎄
The nice thing about loving in the country with a woods is that we can just walk out back, pick a pine tree and cut it down🙂
Its a beautiful tree! Every time you guys film in the basement I always remember the time Brennon scared Ryan to death by banging on the door! Ha Ha Ha... sorry Ryan!
I love the tree and truly appreciated the laugh… lol!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
$105 for a Christmas Tree...... that is insane!!!!!! I'm with Mike!!!
OMG I have never laughed so much at a vlog!! Thank you for sharing your Christmas traditions. Can you do a meet and greet when you are at Disney on spring break?
Brennan without his shirt made me happy today 😂😂🤣
CHRISTMAS TREE SHOPPING!
Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah!
Hoo-Rah! Hoo-Rah!
AR-MAY! Rah!
Team! Team! Team!
Hey mrs. Jill Donnelly congratulations on getting a new Christmas tree and I have all my notifications are on. ❤️💕💕💕🤣🤣
Man $105 for a tree thats insane!!!!! We started getting the fake tree since the real tree by us was soooooo expensive for something that's gonna be thrown out after Christmas. Y'all are an amazing family ❤️
Ryan is growing really fast. One of these days, Brennan will come home from college and Ryan will be bigger than him.
Katie, Brannen, and Ryan, you guys are funny. But I’m glad you guys got a Christmas tree. Thanks for the video. It helps me get distracted.
*Brennan
You are so funny! when Kate took the tree also when you all were trying to choose which tree to pick up. I need to see the picture Jil took of Kate Ryan and Brennan Lol
😳
Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎄💞
I love you all Mike,Jill,Katie,Brennan,Ryan❤️😇
This video made me smile so much ☺️☺️☺️
Gotta love the Donnelly Royal Rumble! It’s a “Pants on the Ground” Christmas special! 😝
😂😂😂
Glad everyone is back can't wait to see more
Woow christmas trees 🎄 are expensive over there 😅. Here you have a very nice one for about 20-30 euroes 😂. But love these videos with the whole family together and seeing Mike’s sense of humor is awesome!
Channeling the Grinch: "Even if we find a tree that looks horribly mangled. There will be no sad faces on Christmas." LOL!

$105 for a tree, that’s ridiculous I’m with Mike
They should have bartered with the tree people. I mean, it's late in the season and they still had a bunch of trees....
And Katie sleeping all through Ryan getting Pinned by mom and dad and brennan 😂😂😂😂
Katie is killing me
😂
WE CAN STILL SAVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!
😂 ha ha ha ha ha that was funny. So funny ha ha Ha.
This video is amazing
HAPPY CHRISTMAS.!!!! Great family. X
The tree you guys got reminds me of the one in How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Thank you for making us laugh and we love you the Donnelly Family!❤❤
I never had this with my family it was always separated, I've always not enjoyed Christmas because of this and this just makes me want to love crhistmas again
Loved this vlog, thanks for making my day better💜

I totally agree w you Jill, thanks for being so real about this...Process of madness. wV
Really miss watching your vlogs! Going through a really tough season!
this is probably my favourite vlog lol
13:29 Jill is like KATIE Lol & Then 13:31
This video made Me laugh so hard thank you! ❤️❤️
let’s take a moment of silence for Ryan because he’s got 2 grown men on him 😂
I'LL PITCH IN .!!!! LOL
Just do a Clark Griswold, drive to the woods and dig one out of the ground. 🤣🎄 I’m sick of this hot weather in New Orleans, we need it to feel like Christmas!
Ryan, you better muscle up buddy!! Your mom flattened you!!❤️❤️
Hello how are you guys doing. You guys are so cool and awesome 😎 just such a cool family I hope that y'all have a wonderful holiday and stay safe.
You're so cool! Fav part from 9:35 to 11:04 Wrestling time! LOL
Yall should go up to woods ya love you r family so much together neskatie to funny running with the tree..
As shown on 13:35 the claw clip meet for the daughter cannot wait.
That's a nice tree.. Katie . 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Lol.. That's a pretty tree Jill..
Our family tradition is to get a tree at Home Depot and then go to target to get our ornament for that year
That is why we have a artificial tree.
Next year get the tree before kids come home from college so you can decorate it together in peace and harmony lol
Love the Donnellys!
You guys need a pickup truck for this kind of stuff..tree hauling etc..nothing fancy lol
Is it just me or does this video give another National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation vibes? One thing after another.
Don’t worry mike! Here in Alabama I paid 80 for a semi dead tree!🤣 expensive every where!!!!!
Nice🌲.
It’s really hard to accept when your kids have grown, and family traditions have to change a little bit. In the end, its not about the tree but about the family experience and memories together huh.
And also 13:41 and also as shown on 13:42 and also as shown on 6:10 too.
when I was younger I liked a live tree but they're so messy and it his a hassle so wen't to a fake tree and liked it but then stringing lights was a hassle so moved on to a prelit tree haha
Awesome video I really like it lot it was cool and you made awesome video and Happy Holidays
My alexa went off every time she said it talking about the lights haha
Wow Nice 👍😊
Ohhh
No matter what family it is, if there are boys, there is random background wrestling...my 40 year old boyfriend and his 42 year old brother do the same thing, and there are times I get involuntarily thrown into the mix...omg I'm old
trees are expensive. however I bought my 6 foot, rose red artificial one on ebay for 30 dollars.... it was shipped from an amazon in new jersey! lol ;-)) yep, the person sold one on ebay, but bought it on amazon... don't matter to me as long as it's decent.
JESUS OUR SAVIOUR IS BORN AND MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR FRIENDS 2022 🕯🕯🎄🎄☃️☃️
Very nice vlog! I loved it
You guys are just plum crazy 😜
Some traditions need to be put on hold or changed. It’s ok to let it go.
Living Like The Polar Express every single day
Image you had three boys lol 😂
This Christmas Tree fiasco was kind of like watching the Griswolds family.
I am one of 6 kids. We are all adults. You gotta face the fact that some traditions like going to get the Christmas tree all together will probably change. What are you going to do next year with Brennan and Katie both at college? Just saying and being realistic
