Everyone needs to cherish time spent with loved ones, I recently lost my Mother seven days ago and this video reminded me of all the great Christmas mornings we spent together as a family. Thank You!
On Christmas I was up at 6:30am full of excitement even though I’m 16 I was sat on the stairs smiling because i just love Christmas the presents aren’t the main thing for me it’s just seeing family all together which make it so much fun because it’s rare everyone is together
I love it when ur family get together for Christmas & opening the presents. What made me happy today was my daughter Courtney ,me,& my boyfriend all of us stayed home safe from the snow storm we had & opened the presents.
Whoa! Looks like everyone got cool gifts! Katie and her Cons. Ryan and his Chargers, Brennan and his Reese’s Pieces jersey 😉 No wrist spraying boys! To everyone, a Blessed Christmas season! 🎄🎁
on christmas eve we always spend time with my dad’s side of the family and on christmas day it’s just me and my immediate family at home. can’t wait for cruise vlogs!
Jill, can you and Mike do a Q&A on your own? It would be great to hear more from you both, especially about how your feeling about all the changes you’ve been through of late. Are you missing your old house? How you’re feeling about two children at college? Parenting advice/reflections? Plans for 2023? Etc.!
Growing up we had a Christmas tradition of opening gifts from youngest to oldest, like you guys. I did that with my kids for years. This year they are 17 and 19 and we are travelling so they both got one really great gift before we left and on Christmas Day with my mother and Step Father, we did Chris Kringle - Give one gift, get one gift - makes packing easier and you get one gift you really want, and with the cost of living etc etc it means no-one is over-extending! Worked really well. Then one nice long meal (roast goose, potatoes, leeks, red cabbage and peas, followed by Christmas Pudding) Having lived in Australia since getting married Christmas lunch / dinner is not quite the same with it being so warm! Good to be back in Northern Hemisphere for traditional Christmas! Nothing wrong with new traditions but nice to experience the old ones again ! Happy travels for New Year Donnellys. Stay safe and Happy. Xx
We did had a great Christmas. I got my new iPhone 14 Pro Max from Santa even know I messed that up and lost all my photos and videos but I got 200GB on iCloud, watching Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade, opening presents with my family, having charcuterie board, eating Chinese food, and watching a lot of Christmas movies. I got everything I need for Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Your Christmas videos are some of my favorites. I say it every year but it warrants repeating. You all are always so grateful for what you have and what you get. It’s awesome to see especially young people who are so grateful. I’ve had lots of Christmas traditions over the years. Sad about some of the changes like no longer going to my grandparents house to see all the family like I did as a kid. Missing my grandparents because they’ve passed on. But newer traditions like having a friends Christmas is one of my favorites. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Excited to see cruise videos it’s been so long I’ve missed those. Xoxo❤
We started a new family tradition on Christmas eve! My middle brother and his wife's family get together and we do secret Santa. We all bring things to eat and it was just a fun fun time!! Eight kiddos and 12 adults! It was a lot of fun!!
I enjoy watching your videos so much thank you so much for sharing. Loved seeing the kids with the gifts. Hope you all had a wonderful christmas and a very happy new year. Like you say traditions have changed so much over the years. The ones now aren't the same like the big celebrations and so many family back when I was growing up with my parents, aunts, uncles and so many more. So many are gone, you always remember things but more memories come up during the holidays.
For years we always went to my grandparents house with my moms side of the family every Christmas Eve and did Christmas Day with my dads side of the family. In July of 21 my parents, brothers and I moved from California to Georgia and we left the rest of our family behind. So now we started a new tradition and we go to college football stadiums and take pictures in front of them . Our first year we went to uga and this past Christmas Eve we drove a 1 and a half to Clemson. Next year we are either doing Alabama which is my favorite college team or Tennessee.
Merry Christmas Donnelly’s❤. I was just thinking what might’ve triggered Eddie could’ve been the real Xmas tree and causing him to want to mark his territory🫣. Hope you have a fantastic time in your cruise can’t wait to see more to come in the new year
I watch you almost daily. It already is the new year. You remind me of the Binghams in Utah -This is How we Bingham, Our Life in Holland (2 twin boys. One has Cerebral palsy, Jared and Britt, Dan and Chelle and April and Davey. I watch them frequently. Their uplifting! Enjoy the cruise and happy 2023!
We used to go to my aunts house on Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day we would just hangout and watch movies. But my aunt passed away a couple years ago. So that’s definitely a tradition I miss. And ever sense then our traditions have kinda been all over the place. So I’m hoping we can figure them out and get them in order by next year. Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas, Donnelly family!!! My mom and I are sick with the flu, and your video definitely warmed our hearts. Today, we will finally have our Christmas dinner. Lol!!! We are going to make up for being sick since Christmas day. Enjoy your cruise!!!
Hello to the donally s family so sorry I'm am so late i been super busy with work schedules and other things but awesome Christmas video I'm am enjoying it and I'm am so happy to be part of your friends and family this is really nice 👍 take care and happy new years to you guys and your friends and family stay safe.
The family comes to my house on Christmas Eve and I cook a huge spread for everyone and then we open gifts. They leave and I'm by myself and I sip Bailey's while watching Santa & The Three Bears and White Christmas. Christmas day we all go over to my sister's house and we hang out all day in our pajamas and eat and play games. Thank you for sharing your family's Christmas with us. I just subscribed and liked your video.
I know it’s a few days late now but our family stays up on Christmas Eve till midnight or later, we watch Christmas movies mainly, and at midnight or just a bit after midnight we will open all our gifts then, it’s a latin American/ French Canadians tradition from my mom and dad and they have kept it the same for our family
My parents say they hate having teenagers because we are so lazy and we don’t get up till 8 but there happy still because they don’t get woken up at like 5 in the morning. But we still have a younger sister who is 12 and she still gets up at 7 and comes in t bolth myn and my brothers rooms and wakes us up by jumping on us but we are 17 and we just want to sleep but it’s still fun because we still open presents and everything and still have bjg reactions
My parents been gone for years & my dad saw my son when he was 6 months old & he passed away when my son was 8 months old. My mom died way before I got married. But I got my divorce. And now I have a very special boyfriend who really care's about me a lot & been there for me .
I’m very sad about the change. Christmas will never be the same again. My family is all dead now except my son who is strung out on drugs and it’s all just very sad.
Left Center Right is an awesome game. We play it at family functions and everyone plays using $3. It is definitely better with a large group of people for playing.
I'm just thankful for Jesus! he is the reason for the season! I would love to go on a cruise but i get sea sick taking a bath! Looking forward to the vlogs though!
we only do one gift from santa and the rest are from us and other family. christmas eve they can pick one gift to open early! also my mom never wrapped the gifts from santa, so i also do not wrap santa's gifts.
Hi hello sorry for bothering you guys but this video vlog was awesome and such Banger's guys and wow you guys have a big family wow you guys are awesome 👍. To be honest with you me and my family just try to get together and just enjoy one another for Christmas that's our family tradition and it's kind of a long story we try to get together sometimes we all have work schedules that we have to do so pretty much we are a busy family take care and stay safe my friends.
Random, but does anyone happen to know where Brennan's longsleeve is from (the one he's wearing in the beginning)? Think my husband would like the style, but I can't find something similar for the life of me.
You guys should please really do royal Caribbean cruise ships videos next on your channel and Disney wish cruise ship videos next on this channel after that
Are you guys aware that you can make the choice not to watch a video if you don’t like something about it? Or would you rather just invest your energy into being negative for zero purpose? Degrading others won’t make you hate yourselves any less.
It’s been so fun to watch Brennan to turn from a little kid to a adult
Same
And such a good looking adult!
Ik right
@@kateswayne1708 fr though
YES
I think it’s adorable they all slept in Ryan’s room! Merry Christmas!!! ✨🎄✨🎄✨
Merry Christmas..... Oh wait, Happy New Year!
I love that mama Jill still acts surprised even though they’re all grown💜💜

Katie looks just like her dad. Nice vlog
Merry Christmas Donnelly Family
I’m just laughing at Ryan leaving his room with a singular sock on
I gave myself the same bottle of cologne at Nordstrum Rack for my cruise two weeks ago and treated myself to air pods pro.
AND the chargers are in the playoffs! What a Christmas gift to Ryan and Brennan! Still have to root for my Chiefs though ❤💛
I CANT WAIT FOR CRUISE VLOGS
Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas Christmas bread looks amazing thanks for another great video so fun to watch them unbox your gifts 💕

brennan is such a handsome person, what a good soul
When you go to Cozumel book an excursion to Chankanaab and swim with the manatees, I just did that on the Norwegian Breakaway and it was the best. 🏝
Great Xmas video bet ever 🎉🎉🎉
My parents been gone for years & my dad saw my son when he was 6 months old & he passed away when my son was 8 months old. My mom died way before I got married. But I got my divorce. And now I have a very special boyfriend who really care's about me a lot & been there for me .
Have a nice trip
LCR is awesome....we played that on our cruise. We had a group of 15 playing. We played with 3 quarters
It's been forever since I watched yall
I’m very sad about the change. Christmas will never be the same again. My family is all dead now except my son who is strung out on drugs and it’s all just very sad.
I'm so sorry...Praying your son finds his way back.

Can you give me the Christmas Bread recipe it looks delicious x
My 2 year old brother woke me and my twin up because we slept in on Christmas Day because we were tired from 8 hour basketball practice
Since my mom died 11 years ago and my dad 15 years ago I take that day and spend time alone.
Merry Christmas are u guys gonna Vlog the whole time that ur on the cruise and put the cruise videos here on TH-cam

Random, but does anyone happen to know where Brennan's longsleeve is from (the one he's wearing in the beginning)? Think my husband would like the style, but I can't find something similar for the life of me.

“What about your other brother” NO WHAT ABOUT HIS OTHER SOCK
You guys should please really do royal Caribbean cruise ships videos next on your channel and Disney wish cruise ship videos next on this channel after that
Are they going on a trip
@RainWanders that's cool. How do you know that
@@maddiekoskinen151 Watch the video!
@@abbritts I did
Disney Agsin
i baked cookies
I watched when Katie was a gymnast
Actually, I kind of feel bad for the siblings
Everytime Ryan said no shot I cringed
.......and every time Ryan has to touch his hair! It's not "cool" Ryan, it's rather a disgusting habit!
Are you guys aware that you can make the choice not to watch a video if you don’t like something about it? Or would you rather just invest your energy into being negative for zero purpose? Degrading others won’t make you hate yourselves any less.
Do are we kind day true
Too melodramatic for me but enjoyed watching the family time. Let's get the sarcasm up a bit for next year.
In this video Ryan still needs a haircut 💇
I’m going to be that person 🫣 those aren’t flared leggings they are yoga pants.
Be carful with that plant with the cats it’s poison to them if they eat it
Great Video.... Comment 100
Merry Christmas Donnelly Family!!
