Hey everyone! Welcome back! Have you taken your Christmas trees down yet? Or are you someone who keeps it up until the end of the 12 days of Christmas?
Mine is coming down this afternoon. It’s a live tree and if I don’t get it to the town composting site today they won’t be open again until next weekend and I don’t want the dried out tree sitting here that long.
Happy New Year to you & Keegan. I'm starting the take down today or tomorrow and glad to see you & Keegan are doing the same. Also a debate in my house on how long after New Year's do you wish someone a Happy New Year :)
I always hate putting Christmas decorations away too! I love Christmas Accept the commercialized Christmas. I work in retail so I hate that side Christmas. But everything else, from tradition to food to movies to decoration. I love it!
Oh, thank God Joel! I needed this. 2025 has been nothing but dreary sad news in every way here in the States. Many of us here are fighting off anxiety attacks with all the stressors currently on the table. I needed to see your & lovely Keegan's faces to convince me to concentrate on the positive. I'm sorting my way through a mess of housechores as well today. Trying to motivate meself to take down the tree, but like you, I'm partly conflicted bc it's simply the joy in the house atm. Thanks so much for the video today. Its a help to get my mindset going in the better direction.
The last couple of years my 2 sons and daughters in law have decided not to give presents as such but to make memories. We are hiring a cottage in Wales for us all in the spring. Really looking forward to spending quality time all together
From a dentist's daughter: save your money Joel! You don't need to get an extremely expensive electric toothbrush. Just a decent one will do. (Like a $100 model.) What's most important is the timer on it. Keeping that brush in your mouth a full 2 minutes is what really does the magic. And if the timer divides your mouth into quadrants, giving a beep after every 30 seconds or so, that helps you do a thorough 30 seconds in each quadrant. (And of course floss once/day and you should be in good shape.)
Very much enjoy the energy in your videos, though my favorite moment was Keegan’s remark, “It’s an ex-tree.” Took me back to the Monty Python parrot sketch: “It’s a dead parrot!” Have a terrific cruise! BTW, only a very strange ship has no laundry options for passengers. Even top of the line, e.g., Regent, have washers, etc. Be at peace. Buon anno!
I'll watch any length of vid tbh. I was lovin the longer ones cos can get a drink & chill BUT when everyone does 40-60 min vids & uploads a few times a week there isn't enough hours in the day/week 😂 I'm still catching up on some christmas vlogs, not complaining whatsoever tho, means I'll always have something to watch 😆 Ah, the whole address thing - yep some ppl are oddballs, not sure why they'd wanna know where you live, I mean personally the only reason I'd be bothered is because the countryside looks lush & u get snow that stays for more than a day !!! 😂
Plant talk is my Love Language! I LOVE my plants! I talk to them also! (Duh) and name them. It's just fun! On the other hand, my tree is fake. (Can't help it, allergies to evergreens are A THING!) But keep mine up until I wake up and don't turn the lights on first thing. That's when I know the joy is leaving me. And I'm looking ahead to Spring! Always ❤ Sorry this is so long.....but anyone living in Tennessee knows.... Snow...IN ANY AMOUNT! Totally shuts down everything!!!
I enjoyed your first vlog of the New Year. Packing the decorations away and disposing of the Christmas trees as if the holidays never happened. Thanks for reminding us of some of the things we promised ourselves to be mindful of like taking and sticking to an exercise regime, watching what we're eating, spending less money, purchasing items that will last, and getting rid of and donating stuff that may serve a purpose for someone else. And similar to your vlogging I will commence journaling and hopefully, simultaneously improve my penmanship in the process. Hope you get your packing completed for the cruise without too much hassle. Don’t wait til the last minute. Have a fabulous cruise and I’m anticipating some great vlogs. Take care.😊❤
Resets are always great!! This was the first time in nearly 15 years I took the days off in between Christmas and new years and it really does make a huge difference!! Glad you’ve had a great break!
I was on the Royal Caribbean - Oasis of the Waters over Christmas week. The Caribbean islands and their beaches were amazing! I hope you two enjoy your upcoming cruise. Have fun, boys! ❤
Nice to see you back guys! Looking forward to your cruise videos. Some small luxuries are necessary for mental health. Like a cheeky Dunkins! But being aware is kinda important, I guess. I'm so worried about the new orange monster in the States coming into office that I'm being especially frugal, but I still have some things I need to have normalcy. That's my mantra this year, try to find ways to achieve a sense of normalcy. ❤
Happy New Year Joel to you, Keegan, the kids, the puppers, and your respective families. I've decided coffee out at Starbucks or a local place doesn't count when trying to save money. Self care and girl math. Glad you agree.
Hi Joe, it's been awhile since I have watched one of your vedieos. It was nice to see both you and Keagan. Love his mustache. Enjoy your holiday..Hugs from Pennsylvania
Happy New Year! 🥳🎊 1) As someone who watches a lot of TH-cam (more than TV and the streaming services), the sweet spot for me for TH-cam videos is anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes each. My attention span may go longer for podcasts, documentaries, and show reaction videos. 2) I *love* to travel, but in recent years I don't enjoy the flying part.
Taking down the trees, the ornaments and Christmas decorations is kinda sad, but as you said, it’s good to have order again. Thought you got some nice gifts from everyone, love the blue suede deck shoes Keenan got for you, and the T that Peter and Anthony got you. Joel, yes Virgin has laundry service for passengers, would be pretty crazy for them not to, so no worries there. Smart of Virgin to have you do some work for them, good deal all the way around. Sounds like you are ready to dig in to the New Year, I hope it’s a great one for you and Keenan. Thanks for the update!💕👍🐢🚢
Happy New Year, love the catch up, and I love the longer vids, that’s your thing! ❤ I’m probably in the minority, but my Christmas decs are still up, I leave them up for a while into January, it helps the blah feelings winter can sometimes bring. Enjoy the snow, and I love your tag line: “New Year, Same Me”, gonna use that! 😂😂😂
Thanks Joe! Glad you enjoy the longer videos - I do too! Yeah true, the decs do bring a bit of positivity during the miserable January and February months!
Happy New Year, Joel and Keegan. Enjoyed this post-Christmas video and especially taking down the tree etc. But am excited for you both and the upcoming Carribbean trip. And I think you are very wise taking a couple of weeks at Christmas and maybe more in about 6 months time. You a break once in a while.
Happy New Year! Good to see you! Loving your nesting and taking care of the house. You are looking fine! Donot fret so much! Mr. K is looking good with the stash! Mind yourselves and enjoy the cruise!!
LoL. In the States, a flapjack is another name for a pancake! What you referred to as a flapjack we call a "bar" (what you were warming looked like a chocolate covered Rice Krispy bar). The cultural/vernacular differences are great! 😄
Happy New Year to you both. I’ve had three of those from flamenco plants. And I’ve lost all of them they’re very temperamental and once they start to go, you’ve lost them. I hope you have a fantastic 2025. All good things are coming for you both.🎉🎉🎉
The correct time to take down the Christmas tree is after the 6th of January, the Feast of the Epiphany, the Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on that date.
I am from Chicagoland, and we just get in the car and drive in the snow. We drive barefoot uphill, in freezing cold weather, with black ice on the road, and our attitude is……bring it on.
Happy to see you in the new year. Undecorating (not a word, I know) is never as fun as the decorating for Christmas, but the feeling of getting the house "cleaned" up feels so good. I agree with you, packing and the whole airport experience causes me great anxiety. I am not afraid of flying, but the line ups and the waiting drive me bonkers. Have to be there three hours or more before your flight it seems. People looking for your address and leaking it is really low. I am sorry that happens to you and other creators.
I also was really sad to put our tree away this year. It feels like this Christmas break flew by 😢 My husband and I have a tradition of getting ornaments from our trips, and it makes decorating the tree so lovely 🥰 And they are keepsakes that don’t take up much room to store, which is great!
hello jwood, thank you for the end of the holidays video. houston is not as cold. have a good time on your trip. basquiat holiday is your code name. el-
Joel, I'm totally with you on the taking down of Christmas decorations and the uncertainty of winter weather. We put away all of our Christmas stuff yesterday, and while it was sad to see all the festive stuff go, it also feels so good to get the house back to normal and get more daylight in. As to the weather, where I live in southern Indiana we do not handle winter weather super well. Currently, we are smack dab in the middle of a winter storm of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Thank goodness my youngest's trumpet teacher cancelled his lesson (his very first one!) before I had to do it, because there is no way I'm risking life and limb on icy roads tomorrow. I hope your plans didn't have to get cancelled for the weather!
Yes the daylight is a real bonus!! I didn't realise how much light the tree blocked! Glad it's not just Brits who panic when it snows! haha! I did cancel my plans in the end, just to be safe! Hope you stay warm in your winter storm!
We took off almost a full two weeks. Were supposed to go back Sunday but WV is under a state of emergency due to getting about a foot of snow just in our area (we're in the foothills). We were supposed to get another foot but I haven't looked outside yet.
You don’t have to buy a whole new electric toothbrush. Just get replacement heads. I’ve had mine for ten years and it works great. Buying a bunch of what we don’t actually need is not living green 😂
There’s a hill very near to me that causes real issues in snowy/icy weather. If it’s really bad you can’t stop on the hill, you’d slide back down. Local people will stop at the bottom of the hill until the car in front has cleared it.
Yes, Virgin Voyages offers laundry service on their ships: Wash and fold: $30 for a bag of laundry, or $5 per item Wash and press: $6 per item Press only: $4 per item Eco-cleaning: $7 per item Express turnaround: $20 extra for regular washing and dry cleaning, returned by 5:30 PM the same day Virgin Voyages ships do not have self-service laundry rooms. To use the laundry service, you can: Put your clothes in the laundry bag provided in your wardrobe Fill out a form with the type of wash, how quickly you need it back, and whether you want dry pressing Use the tablet to indicate that your laundry is ready for pickup Your cabin host will pick up your laundry
I hate christmas, but I think if someone wants to keep their Tree up, they should! I'm a Halloween all year round kind of person, so I think people should do what makes them happy!
My tree came down on Friday. It's sad to be over but nice to have my room back. I fly from the US to the UK and it's terribly long. I try to fly at night and sleep (if there are not 10 crying babies, like last May). I would like to visit where you live just to see the cows...lol.
HI JOEL I FINALLY TOOK DOWN CHRISTMAS SNOWMAN AND GOLDEN CHRISTMAS TREE AND GOLDEN ANGEL AND CHRISTMAS GNOME I STILL HAVE LIVECHRISTMAS POINTSETTA HOUSE PLANT IT LAST ALL YEAR AROUND LOVE DAVID 😀🥰😀🥰🥰🥰❄☃☃🎇✨🎉
Yes you can get laundry done on VV... If you are in certain Cabins/Suites you may even get it free .. but yes you can so pack light .. and you know you don't need formal formal stuff for VV lol ...
Yay, you're back. Why was it nice to watch you take your stuff down. I didn't do much this year and waited till pretty late so it'll be up all 12 days. Why do people find everything to trip on, the blurring is a choice and you owe no one any explanation, and those who are finding out your address are creepy!
Usually we take Christmas decor away after Epiphany (1/6). Been Epiphany today I have just started ! I will take down a thing or two every day and will finish putting everything away by the weekend !
Que bonitinho achei po racaso so viciada em vidio maratono todas as historias srm conta que miapaixono por toda as historia ea de voces nao sao deferentes tem umas historia qye ja se xasaro mandei presente sabe essas pessoa obsecada por maratona vidio essa sou eukkkbeijos lindos❤❤❤
Oh my goodness I’m so glad we have a fake tree, real trees look beautiful but make so much mess 🙈 Joel your skin always looks fab! Can I ask what your skincare routine is and if you recommend a specific brand of skincare? ❤
Happy New Year Joel! Hope you’re doing well saw on news you’re getting a bit of snow in your area…NO I don’t know your address, news said Leeds which I think you’re close to. ~Cara ❤
I know the feeling. I finally can see my dining table after I put all the gift wrapping and Christmas cards in their storage totes ready to be stored in the garage. FYI: get an old sheet or a tarp to put under the tree when it is dropping needles. It is less mess while you remove the decorations and move it outside. I'm surprised that in the UK you have to pay taxes on rental income and not being able to deduct costs of that rental. In the US, you can deduct use of a car, cleaning costs, mortgage interest payments, repairs, property taxes, utilities, and more.
That's such a great idea re: the tarp! I will try that next year! We can deduct some costs, but not everything. You used to be able to deduct the interest payment on the mortgage but you can't anymore.
OHH I WILL JOEL I DID TOOK DOWN CHRISTMAS DECORATE WE NEVER HAVE CHRISTMAS TREE KIDS ARE ALL GROWN UP THEY ARE IN COLLAGE SCHOOL NOW ME I NEVER HAVE KIDS CAUSE IM 55 YEAR OLD MAN LOVE DAVID😀🥰😀🥰❄🎇🎉
We're expecting wintery weather Thursday and Friday here where I live in Texas. So if its snows I don't mind but I refuse to drive when its icy on the roads. If you haven't tried it yet Starbucks now has a new drink called the cortado both plain and a brown sugar oatmilk. I just tried the brown sugar oatmilk cortado yesterday but I opted for 2% milk instead and it was pretty good.
Hiya Joel,don't forget Wuthering Heights, I'm just catching up now, make recipes the ones I've sent you, nice to catch up with you again,you should obscure your car number plate,some one could go past and pour acid over your car bonnet,this is Choppy
@@TheJoelWood OK, good. I wondered, because when you moved it the base seemed like it didn't have water. I've seen that happen with trees before, though. They just dry up, even if they have water.
Hi Joel, this just an idea after seeing this video. You could make a template for your future video that includes several fix segments: about plants clip, about books clip, about health/diet, a coffee trip car talk, a walk with dogs clip then one segment for the main content.
@@TheJoelWood Great for humidity; what's the light like? Anthuriums are supposed to be moderate light, but I've found that they don't bloom without good light (but not direct sun, as you mentioned elsewhere).
Joel, Virgin will do laundry for you. There is a cost, unless you have the Deep Blue status, which I believe you have because of when you first took a voyage with them.
Hey everyone! Welcome back! Have you taken your Christmas trees down yet? Or are you someone who keeps it up until the end of the 12 days of Christmas?
I took mine down on New Year’s Day
Doing that today!
Mine is coming down this afternoon. It’s a live tree and if I don’t get it to the town composting site today they won’t be open again until next weekend and I don’t want the dried out tree sitting here that long.
Happy New Year to you & Keegan. I'm starting the take down today or tomorrow and glad to see you & Keegan are doing the same. Also a debate in my house on how long after New Year's do you wish someone a Happy New Year :)
Happy New Year!!! I took down my large tree but I have a smaller one still up. The small one is probably coming down this week.
Keegan looks like a cop with the mustache. 😂
I always hate putting Christmas decorations away too! I love Christmas Accept the commercialized Christmas. I work in retail so I hate that side Christmas. But everything else, from tradition to food to movies to decoration. I love it!

Love Kegan. I wish he did more videos on his TH-cam channel but nonetheless he is such a sweetheart. Joel you're very lucky to have him.
I agree 100 percent! Just saying...
The last couple of years my 2 sons and daughters in law have decided not to give presents as such but to make memories. We are hiring a cottage in Wales for us all in the spring. Really looking forward to spending quality time all together
I think that's the best way to do gifts isn't it? Especially if there's nothing someone wants. The memories from experiences are so precious!
Your day-to-day interactions with big daddy...... Priceless❤!

This was so fun to watch you take down holiday stuff!
Thanks so much Catherine!
This was nice; I like the longer video! Happy New Year.

We totally all need to rest and have some fun! It’s good practice and self care. That’s a very good plan that man :)
Happy New Year! Nice to see your happy face after the holiday!
Nice to see you back guys! Looking forward to your cruise videos. Some small luxuries are necessary for mental health. Like a cheeky Dunkins! But being aware is kinda important, I guess. I'm so worried about the new orange monster in the States coming into office that I'm being especially frugal, but I still have some things I need to have normalcy. That's my mantra this year, try to find ways to achieve a sense of normalcy. ❤

So nice to have that clean, fresh feeling isn't it

Have a wonderful, fun trip. Make some amazing memories! Enjoy sharing the warmth and beaches of the Carribbean with Keegan!
LoL. In the States, a flapjack is another name for a pancake! What you referred to as a flapjack we call a "bar" (what you were warming looked like a chocolate covered Rice Krispy bar). The cultural/vernacular differences are great! 😄
So funny! They're definitely softer and squishier than what I imagine a 'bar' to be! Love our language differences
I absolutely love the Mr Kipling mince pies! We have so few choices here in the states, but they are a definite favorite!
Happy New Year to you both. I’ve had three of those from flamenco plants. And I’ve lost all of them they’re very temperamental and once they start to go, you’ve lost them. I hope you have a fantastic 2025. All good things are coming for you both.🎉🎉🎉

This was the first time you came up on my home page but you and Jack Edward’s could be brothers. Oh my gosh you both look so much alike!
Too 🤣. They have tree bags to catch the needles. You just put it under the tree, pull it up when it's done and out it goes
ahhhhh that sounds amazing!! I'm going to have to research it!
Happy New Year🎉to you and Keegan and kids and dogs!,, wish you the best for the 2025…..greeting from Mexico
Thank you! Happy New Year to you too, Veronica!

Why does it go so quickly?? I agree, the best way to decorate a tree is with memories I think!
I quite enjoyed watching the drift of needles grow while you were removing decs from your tree. Forest floor. It still must have smelled piney.
It smelled amazing!! Love that pine scent!
Happy new year!! Enjoy the cruise 🛳 😎 ❤❤
Happy New Year to you both ❤❤. And the dogs of course ❤❤😂

Joel, I'm totally with you on the taking down of Christmas decorations and the uncertainty of winter weather. We put away all of our Christmas stuff yesterday, and while it was sad to see all the festive stuff go, it also feels so good to get the house back to normal and get more daylight in.

Yep, our decs are down but not put back in the loft yet, a job for anther day x
Thats the worst part isn't it!!
We took off almost a full two weeks. Were supposed to go back Sunday but WV is under a state of emergency due to getting about a foot of snow just in our area (we're in the foothills). We were supposed to get another foot but I haven't looked outside yet.
You don’t have to buy a whole new electric toothbrush. Just get replacement heads. I’ve had mine for ten years and it works great. Buying a bunch of what we don’t actually need is not living green 😂
You should be replacing your electric toothbrush every 3-5 years. The battery starts to erode and it won’t clean your teeth properly.
There’s a hill very near to me that causes real issues in snowy/icy weather. If it’s really bad you can’t stop on the hill, you’d slide back down. Local people will stop at the bottom of the hill until the car in front has cleared it.
Oh wow! That's so scary!! Sounds a bit like the hill near us!

Hi Joel! Happy New Year! In our house, we don’t take our tree down until after Three Kings Day ❤️.
That's so nice to be able to enjoy it for a bit longer!
Remember you need to keep Your crimbo tree well watered this usually avoids needle.drop.
How are you going to get to your cruise ship holiday next week when it’s all blizzards, snowdrifts and avalanches ?
Should be clear by then
Ooo a piano!,
“Getting straight…”😂😂😂
Joel, did I see a mess of dog doo doo in the yard ? lol
Yes haha! Lots of them!
@TheJoelWood lol
Yes you can get laundry done on VV... If you are in certain Cabins/Suites you may even get it free .. but yes you can so pack light .. and you know you don't need formal formal stuff for VV lol ...
Yay, you're back. Why was it nice to watch you take your stuff down. I didn't do much this year and waited till pretty late so it'll be up all 12 days. Why do people find everything to trip on, the blurring is a choice and you owe no one any explanation, and those who are finding out your address are creepy!
That's nice - especially if you put them up a bit later! Ours has been up since the beginning of December so it felt like time!
Please do take some time during the year. We will still be here when you get back! 😊
Thank you! I'm definitely going to try!
Usually we take Christmas decor away after Epiphany (1/6). Been Epiphany today I have just started !
I will take down a thing or two every day and will finish putting everything away by the weekend !
Sounds like the south in the states.... Paralyzed by the slightest bit of snow.
haha! Yes!

Oh my goodness I’m so glad we have a fake tree, real trees look beautiful but make so much mess 🙈 Joel your skin always looks fab! Can I ask what your skincare routine is and if you recommend a specific brand of skincare? ❤
JOEL OMG IT'S SNOWING ALL DAY HERE IN MY HOME TOWN OKLAHOMA CITY LOVE DAVID😀🥰😀🥰🥰 ❄☃🎇✨🎉
Wooo!!! Enjoy!
Happy New Year Joel! Hope you’re doing well saw on news you’re getting a bit of snow in your area…NO I don’t know your address, news said Leeds which I think you’re close to. ~Cara ❤
HNY!!! Yes lots of snow currently! Hopefully it melts soon because I have appointments to keep! haha!
Hello, enjoy your channel.
The plant you moved away from the radiator looks to be an antherium.
They are a little fussy regarding and sunlight.
Hopefully I can keep her alive!!
I know the feeling. I finally can see my dining table after I put all the gift wrapping and Christmas cards in their storage totes ready to be stored in the garage. FYI: get an old sheet or a tarp to put under the tree when it is dropping needles. It is less mess while you remove the decorations and move it outside.
I'm surprised that in the UK you have to pay taxes on rental income and not being able to deduct costs of that rental. In the US, you can deduct use of a car, cleaning costs, mortgage interest payments, repairs, property taxes, utilities, and more.
That's such a great idea re: the tarp! I will try that next year! We can deduct some costs, but not everything. You used to be able to deduct the interest payment on the mortgage but you can't anymore.
OHH I WILL JOEL I DID TOOK DOWN CHRISTMAS DECORATE WE NEVER HAVE CHRISTMAS TREE KIDS ARE ALL GROWN UP THEY ARE IN COLLAGE SCHOOL NOW ME I NEVER HAVE KIDS CAUSE IM 55 YEAR OLD MAN LOVE DAVID😀🥰😀🥰❄🎇🎉
We're expecting wintery weather Thursday and Friday here where I live in Texas. So if its snows I don't mind but I refuse to drive when its icy on the roads. If you haven't tried it yet Starbucks now has a new drink called the cortado both plain and a brown sugar oatmilk. I just tried the brown sugar oatmilk cortado yesterday but I opted for 2% milk instead and it was pretty good.
Yeah same, it's too scary and dangerous!! I need to try that cortado, it sounds right up my street!! Thanks for the recommendation!
Here is the US, a flapjack is a pancake.
and now I want a flapjack...
Hiya Joel,don't forget Wuthering Heights, I'm just catching up now, make recipes the ones I've sent you, nice to catch up with you again,you should obscure your car number plate,some one could go past and pour acid over your car bonnet,this is Choppy
All cruise ships have public laundries and offer dry cleaning services.
I love you guys
Thanks Stephen ❤️
That tree looked dried out. Did you not put it in water?
Of course we did 😂 it's because we have the heating on in the living room and she doesn't like heat
@@TheJoelWood OK, good. I wondered, because when you moved it the base seemed like it didn't have water. I've seen that happen with trees before, though. They just dry up, even if they have water.
Hi Joel, this just an idea after seeing this video. You could make a template for your future video that includes several fix segments: about plants clip, about books clip, about health/diet, a coffee trip car talk, a walk with dogs clip then one segment for the main content.
That's a great idea!! Means I also remember to keep you updated on things!
Got Keegan and me
The "flamingo lily" is an anthurium. Needs high humidity.
Maybe I should move her to the bathroom
@@TheJoelWood Great for humidity; what's the light like? Anthuriums are supposed to be moderate light, but I've found that they don't bloom without good light (but not direct sun, as you mentioned elsewhere).
Joel, Virgin will do laundry for you. There is a cost, unless you have the Deep Blue status, which I believe you have because of when you first took a voyage with them.
Hello 💜
