@ ❤️would love to see you play the piano more too. I loved you and Jessica singing back and forth the other day. You guys were literally made for each other. More piano, less bread. 🤣🤣🤣
I just watched vlogsgiving video from 2015 and it was sooooo cute to see you guys from back then!!! can you pleaseeee do a reaction video of you two watching a super old video of yourselves like that and talk about what you do/don't remember and how much everything has changed?? 🥰
I absolutely loved high school when I went. Then I raised raised 7 children (5 birth children and 2 foster children) through high school. My last two, twins, are seniors this year. I am now so completely done with high school, or school in general. Our eldest child started preschool in 1993, and I still have children in school. I am an exhaustion of patience. 😴
Honestly guys these vlogmas videos are such a highlight in my day. Tyler, I have to say that those Egypt videos were so worth the wait. They are top notch from front to back!
Guys!! I just realized my kids are closer to your ages than I am. I turned 50 😳. When you mention high school being part of life, I got thinking my son graduated 13 years ago 😊. I think though when the high schools have their productions this spring, I’m gonna have to buy a ticket and see my picture up on the wall with my graduation class. 😂 On a serious note thank you so much for doing vlogmas, I lost my 28-year-old daughter Christian Leigh , in June 12/24. I’m doing as well as expected. Your Vlogs are always so cheery and fun. They bring me joy. I adore your little family. Thank you for everything you guys do. I really appreciate you guys. 💕
I am so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. Christmas is such a bittersweet time , as it reminds us of all the lovely memories with beautiful family and friends… some who we’ve lost much too soon. Vlogmas truly is a part of my holiday tradition - i couldn’t imagine December without the Brauns ❤💚❤️
@@reencampbell4481 Thank you! Vlogmas brings me some joy during this dark time. It means so much to me. I watch it every year. It really is a tradition. They have touched many a people’s lives. Happy Holidays God Bless
“An exhaustion of patience” is my new favourite quote and I’m going to use it from now on. I have no idea what the context will ever be but I will make a way 🤣
Loving vlogmas! I also loved hearing you talk about high school. I am a high school educator/counselor, so I think I’ve never gone through that stage of not being around that age of kiddos. They are the best!
I'm of the school of thought you can't be too cautious when a baby/toddler gets hurt. It's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry. You're just being good parents. It's so sweet that you had a special night out with Gigi. Hi Uncle Jason❣️ Tyler, you're starting to look like a football player. You're workouts are really pumping you up. Jessica, you're just as lovely as ever! I've been kind of quiet watching your Vlogmas videos, but for some reason, I'm feeling very vocal today.😂
I have Been watching your videos for forever. Love vlogmas every year. My husband is a high school show choir director, and I’m a pianist and we’ve recently gotten to work with the director of the program whose concert you went to!! We were watching this vlog together from AZ and loved it. 😍 also laughed at the euchre segment. We said “what the heck is euchre” right as you said “people on the west coast probably said “what the heck is euchre?!” lol can confirm.
Wowow you guys talking about the game of golf reminded me of my grandma teaching me when I was a child in their camper while we were on a summer camping trip! What a trip down memory lane 🥲
Better safe than sorry. My great grandmother lost her 8 year old son when he fell and hit his head. They thought he was ok but he fell asleep and never woke up. So glad felicity is ok!
My grandson is a freshman this year, he is in marching band they went to a state competition a few weeks ago out of 21 bands his group came in 4th really proud of him. They are going to Washington in January I think my husband and I were wishing they would be playing in the inauguration that would be such a memory for them to have. He loves it does not really care about competition which is fun a happy memory to keep. ❤❤❤❤
Exhaustion of patience made me laugh. 😂 I looooooved being in show choir in high school! It was way too much fun. Also, my family here in northwestern PA also enjoy playing euchre.
Teacher momma of a 6 yr old here and the Freudian slip of an exhaustion of patience made me laugh so much harder than it should have 😅 so either I’m getting hysterical or that’s my own Freudian slip 😂
I’m behind on Vlogmas, but that parking quandary, what the heck? You’d think a venue would have ample parking, but no, I think it’s to make you want what you’re about to see more! 😅 And Pinocchio’s side eye at the start of the sit down. 🤣 Love you all, sweet little family.
If you ever need an group game, Left Center Right is SUPER FUN. Many ages can play. Use dollar bills after you learn to play with the tokens. Winner gets the pot. So fun and hilarious.
I started following your channel a year ago. I was looking for another Vlogmas channel and yours popped up in my search. Then I found your Disney & travel videos (I love watching Rick Steves, Samantha Brown and Curious Travels). I then subscribed to Jessica’s channel!
Talking about visiting high school....I work at my old high school. And my son is about to enter the Jr high I went to. It's such a crazy but lovely feeling to see kids in high school that I enjoyed back early 2000s.
My parents always told us not to run in the house and, of course, we didn’t listen until I ran into the kitchen counter and stubbed my toe so hard I broke my foot. Best believe we didn’t run through the house after that. Glad Felicity was okay! 🥰
Oh my, was I a kid with an abundance of caution! Which makes it even more hilarious the way I sustained my worst injury as a child. I KNEW better than to go down that steep hill on my scooter. I full sent it anyway! 😂 Flew and ended up about 2 feet away from plonking in the pond. Couldn't tell you why I did it, but I still have the scar beneath my chin haha.
The game talk at the end ❤ My family is a big games family. We always play Rummikub the "Oma way" she liked to make up rules to help her win, and she taught us to play Rummikub. Unbeknownst to us until this year the rules are quite different 😂 We also play euchre here in Ontario, Canada. When I was in high school, we would play at lunch time in the cafeteria. I'm pretty sure at one point we had a betting ring going on 😅
A couple of our favorite games are sequence and cribbage.. and fun fact since cribbage is played with playing cards… we buy them when we travel as a souvenir to remember our trip and to play cribbage with them! 😄
I love games. Some good suggestions are Roll For It, Qwirkle, Rummikub, I’m totally blanking on my massive game collection right now. Oh! One of my favorites is Formation. I love that game so much and it is very simple once you can memorize what the cards do.
Show choir! And thanks for reminding us about that classic Middle ep. And as a mom of kids in their 20’s…my ❤ still hurts when any of them are sick now!😢
We love Guillotine!! I bought it when our son was a little younger (he’s 17 now) when we learned about the French Revolution. And it is on our regular game rotation. We went a good several months and played it just about every single night. It’s so perfectly cut throat (no pun intended)!! Everyone we play it with enjoys it also!!!
I used to play in the pit for theater as a violinist and it was SOO hard not to stare at the amazing acting. I couldn’t watch the rehearsals and it was so heartbreaking! 💔😂
My grandparents are from Ohio/Michigan and I was raised playing Euchre!! My family still plays regularly but no one out here in the southwest knows what it is 😂
My oldest daughter is getting ready to graduate high school in the Spring and my youngest just turned 15. It does go by fast. I remember when they were the same age as your kids and it feels like yesterday 😢
Jess, have one more kid it’ll go away! 🤣 One of my boys bumps their head, falls, comes over to me bleeding I’m like you’re fine, grab an ice pack/bandaid lol.
Do you ever have days where I say “I have a hand like a foot” can’t do nothing right! Seems like the start of your day 😮 I always look forward to Vlogmas with the Brauns every year, Thanks
My husband is from Indiana and his family is crazy about Euchre. I had never heard of it before I met him and personally find it confusing. His family takes it so seriously though and they play at all family gatherings. It's intimidating! 😂
Have you ever heard of Crying Canasta? It's so fun! You do need at least 4 people for it. You play in pairs, 2 decks of regular playing cards per person & you create runs & stuff similar to Bridge. I think you guys would really love it.
Euchre is a northern Midwest thing. I learned from someone from Michigan and I am from Missouri-we had never heard of it….but once we did play it, it was awesome!!!!
Glad Felicity is okay!! Kid injuries are all scary no matter what: I’m glad it wasn’t worse. Our son hit his eye on our coffee table at 18 months old, and had to get 3 stitches. We no longer have a coffee table! It scared me daily someone would get hurt again.
Fox and the Forest is a 2-person trick-taking game that’s super fun if you like that style of game! For party games Monikers, Skull King, Herd Mentality, The Resistance: Avalon (hidden role game), Sounds Fishy, and Chameleon are all faves!
I realized I was a real grownup when 8th grade girls looked at me like I was a grumpy adult. I was trying to get my 6th grade daughters attention to leave an event and her friends saw me and I read their mouths saying ummmm your mom looks mad over there. That was a humbling moment for sure 😅
gonna start using the phrase “an exhaustion of patience” in my everyday life now
Tell me you're a parent without telling me you're a parent 😂
Could you possibly love this family any more.?! Tyler and Jessica are so funny 😂❤
Calling Dr Freud cracked me up 😂
Between Tyler’s channel for vlogmas and Jessica’s channel, I spend more time with your family during the holidays than I do my own. 😂😂😂
Haha! We’re happy to be a part of your holiday season.
@ ❤️would love to see you play the piano more too. I loved you and Jessica singing back and forth the other day. You guys were literally made for each other. More piano, less bread. 🤣🤣🤣
Omg 😂 I feel the same way 😊
I just watched vlogsgiving video from 2015 and it was sooooo cute to see you guys from back then!!! can you pleaseeee do a reaction video of you two watching a super old video of yourselves like that and talk about what you do/don't remember and how much everything has changed?? 🥰
I love that idea!
That’s a cute idea.
That is a cute idea!
And it only took until day 5 for the mention of Bananagrams! 😂🍌
I absolutely loved high school when I went. Then I raised raised 7 children (5 birth children and 2 foster children) through high school. My last two, twins, are seniors this year. I am now so completely done with high school, or school in general. Our eldest child started preschool in 1993, and I still have children in school. I am an exhaustion of patience. 😴
Hahah! I’m sure!
Tyler kills me! "Calling Doctor Freud!" 😂
Ever since Jessica talked about “oiling wood” I get HYPE when Tyler films it for us. Great bit, Team Braun. 😂😂😂
Honestly guys these vlogmas videos are such a highlight in my day. Tyler, I have to say that those Egypt videos were so worth the wait. They are top notch from front to back!
lol! I have gotten to where I CAN NOT start the video… until I spot Tiny Tyler. 😂 Also… that picture cracks me up.

I totally adore the Braun Family Vlogmas every year, smiles, and love it's what makes the world go round 🥰🤗🐾🎄
I was laughing so hard when you mentioned the episode of The Middle. Poor Sue Sue Heck😂😂
You two as parents just heals my inner child every time I watch ❤
Jessica - you have a beautiful voice!
Everyone needs a Funcle Jason! Glad Felicity is ok! I am a mom of 13 years and injuries still throw me for a loop, but you just get through them.
These vlogmas videos are my favorite vlogs of the entire year. I think I just love the relaxed normal life stuff ❤❤❤❤
“An exhaustion of patience” is my new favourite quote and I’m going to use it from now on. I have no idea what the context will ever be but I will make a way 🤣

I swear both of you are one of the top favorites People on TH-cam as a family which I have been watching for so long 😽😽😽
Thank you! That’s so nice!
Wowow you guys talking about the game of golf reminded me of my grandma teaching me when I was a child in their camper while we were on a summer camping trip! What a trip down memory lane 🥲
Exhaustion of patience 😂
Ooohhh I heard patients cuz it was a doctor hahahaha
@tabithak5943 🤣
Better safe than sorry. My great grandmother lost her 8 year old son when he fell and hit his head. They thought he was ok but he fell asleep and never woke up. So glad felicity is ok!
We LOVE villainous in our house!! Different expansions packs allow you to play all kinds of characters!
Ahh i love that yall brought up The Middle, its soooo good!!! It and Bobs burgers are my #1s lol
My grandson is a freshman this year, he is in marching band they went to a state competition a few weeks ago out of 21 bands his group came in 4th really proud of him. They are going to Washington in January I think my husband and I were wishing they would be playing in the inauguration that would be such a memory for them to have. He loves it does not really care about competition which is fun a happy memory to keep. ❤❤❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS to your grandson!👏👏👏👏👏
Sequence card game is fun!
My 2 sons are in high school. Oldest is a Senior and he is in Show Choir. Their Christmas performance is Tuesday. 🎄🎼
16:53 Piles! I enjoy it so much but also my kids can play it (8 and 11). I think you two would love it
That cutting board looks pretty nice. 😂
Exhaustion of patience made me laugh. 😂
I looooooved being in show choir in high school! It was way too much fun.
Also, my family here in northwestern PA also enjoy playing euchre.
Teacher momma of a 6 yr old here and the Freudian slip of an exhaustion of patience made me laugh so much harder than it should have 😅 so either I’m getting hysterical or that’s my own Freudian slip 😂
Chickenfoot is a greattttt game! So easy and fun and you can actually have a conversation while playing so that’s great, too!!
So nice of you to go to a HS showchoir event. My son is in showchoir and has loved it
We have a Family Tradition of buying a new game for our family collection each year to play together. We love this tradition.
Yea I get it Jessica. I get a bit anxiety when the kids are sick. It's normal.
Love the way you guys look at each other soook cute ❤ also my fav part of Vlogmas is towards the end when you guys are tired 😂
A Little Wordy is one of my favorite two player games. It’s sort of a word game but you’re trying to figure out the other persons word. It’s so fun!
I am cracking up with what Jessica said 😂😂 I am loving Vlogmas this year so much! Love you guys ❤❤
Omg I love the middle! ❤
Holiday Spec! I’d recognize that half a mile walk anywhere.
I’m behind on Vlogmas, but that parking quandary, what the heck? You’d think a venue would have ample parking, but no, I think it’s to make you want what you’re about to see more! 😅 And Pinocchio’s side eye at the start of the sit down. 🤣 Love you all, sweet little family.

An abundance caution generally leads to an exhaustion of patience 😂
I started following your channel a year ago. I was looking for another Vlogmas channel and yours popped up in my search. Then I found your Disney & travel videos (I love watching Rick Steves, Samantha Brown and Curious Travels). I then subscribed to Jessica’s channel!
That’s awesome, welcome to the fam!
I have an exhaustion of patience quite often! 😂
We’ve not hung out in the basement with the cutesy tree yet!!
Talking about visiting high school....I work at my old high school. And my son is about to enter the Jr high I went to. It's such a crazy but lovely feeling to see kids in high school that I enjoyed back early 2000s.
Euchre is huge in Canada as well!
My parents always told us not to run in the house and, of course, we didn’t listen until I ran into the kitchen counter and stubbed my toe so hard I broke my foot. Best believe we didn’t run through the house after that. Glad Felicity was okay! 🥰
I knew Banangrams would be mentioned! Lol
Sue Heck! My favorite show!!!
Ohhh one thing I miss about high school was our Christmas concerts! 🎼🎶 but that’s it lol
Oh my, was I a kid with an abundance of caution! Which makes it even more hilarious the way I sustained my worst injury as a child. I KNEW better than to go down that steep hill on my scooter. I full sent it anyway! 😂 Flew and ended up about 2 feet away from plonking in the pond. Couldn't tell you why I did it, but I still have the scar beneath my chin haha.
Exploding Kittens!!!
Its not a mindless game, but it's AMAZING! We are obsessed, it's soooo fun! There's a bunch of different versions of it too!
The game talk at the end ❤ My family is a big games family. We always play Rummikub the "Oma way" she liked to make up rules to help her win, and she taught us to play Rummikub. Unbeknownst to us until this year the rules are quite different 😂 We also play euchre here in Ontario, Canada. When I was in high school, we would play at lunch time in the cafeteria. I'm pretty sure at one point we had a betting ring going on 😅
Always err on the side of caution. The reverse creates too much guilt! I did really like the new phrase, though. “Exhaustion of patience”. Good one!
Sleeping Queens is a fun card game!
A couple of our favorite games are sequence and cribbage.. and fun fact since cribbage is played with playing cards… we buy them when we travel as a souvenir to remember our trip and to play cribbage with them! 😄
My husband and I play Couch Skeletons and Scout all the time. I love card games.
Funny you mention the golf rules and I agree it seems like everyone has slightly different ways of playing 😂
I love games. Some good suggestions are Roll For It, Qwirkle, Rummikub, I’m totally blanking on my massive game collection right now. Oh! One of my favorites is Formation. I love that game so much and it is very simple once you can memorize what the cards do.
I love Racko too! My dad and I played every time I stayed with him and it’s one on my best childhood/teenhood memories🥰
Show choir! And thanks for reminding us about that classic Middle ep. And as a mom of kids in their 20’s…my ❤ still hurts when any of them are sick now!😢
Canadian Euchre fan!! Official game of every family get together and high school cafeteria(according to me!).
Blokus and Sequence. Sequence is for 4 people, but so fun!!
I LITERALLY just watched that episode from The Middle! 😂 love that show!
We love Guillotine!! I bought it when our son was a little younger (he’s 17 now) when we learned about the French Revolution. And it is on our regular game rotation. We went a good several months and played it just about every single night. It’s so perfectly cut throat (no pun intended)!! Everyone we play it with enjoys it also!!!
I used to play in the pit for theater as a violinist and it was SOO hard not to stare at the amazing acting. I couldn’t watch the rehearsals and it was so heartbreaking! 💔😂
Omg racko takes me back to my childhood. My grandma always had that and we played it often!
Just bought play nine for my niece. My grandma taught me golf with cards. So much fun either way.
I love if this as my morning routine each day
Lord, I have an exhaustion of patience almost daily! 🤣
Haha I hear ya!
I love Jessica’s Christmas crewie! ❤
Love the vlogmas ❤❤❤
Jessica, your skin is so great. You're a true beauty ❤️
Lol! California here. Euchre is a Midwest game, but I have played when my friends from Indiana brought it over.
Forgot about tiny tyler 😆. Yall are a hoot
My grandparents are from Ohio/Michigan and I was raised playing Euchre!! My family still plays regularly but no one out here in the southwest knows what it is 😂
My family played Mille Bornes all the time. I have so many fun memories playing that game.
Euchre is an another IN thing. We moved to Louisville, and no one in KY plays it…unless they are from southern IN 😂 We went through Euchre withdrawal.
My oldest daughter is getting ready to graduate high school in the Spring and my youngest just turned 15. It does go by fast. I remember when they were the same age as your kids and it feels like yesterday 😢
Jess, have one more kid it’ll go away! 🤣 One of my boys bumps their head, falls, comes over to me bleeding I’m like you’re fine, grab an ice pack/bandaid lol.
Scattergories is a good game 😊
Omg. I have that same Racko and I just taught my husband over this last weekend. Wow!
Great minds think alike!
Do you ever have days where I say “I have a hand like a foot” can’t do nothing right! Seems like the start of your day 😮 I always look forward to Vlogmas with the Brauns every year, Thanks
I could legit just watch you two talk like this an entire vlog 😂
My husband is from Indiana and his family is crazy about Euchre. I had never heard of it before I met him and personally find it confusing. His family takes it so seriously though and they play at all family gatherings. It's intimidating! 😂
Have you ever heard of Crying Canasta? It's so fun! You do need at least 4 people for it. You play in pairs, 2 decks of regular playing cards per person & you create runs & stuff similar to Bridge. I think you guys would really love it.
Pandemic is a great 2-4 player game! Has a bit of a learning curve, but so much fun
Euchre is a northern Midwest thing. I learned from someone from Michigan and I am from Missouri-we had never heard of it….but once we did play it, it was awesome!!!!
I live in Minnesota, never heard of it and you can’t get much more northern Midwest than here lol. Might be more regional to that area of the Midwest?
Play 9 is our families favorite! It's a real fun cardatching game themed around golf. Really easy to pick up and play, real quick!
Glad Felicity is okay!! Kid injuries are all scary no matter what: I’m glad it wasn’t worse. Our son hit his eye on our coffee table at 18 months old, and had to get 3 stitches. We no longer have a coffee table! It scared me daily someone would get hurt again.
my family loves Tapple and Blank Slate! tapple you can even play alone, but blank slate at least 3 people 😊
I am now a super fan-y’all like “The Middle”!!!!!
Fox and the Forest is a 2-person trick-taking game that’s super fun if you like that style of game!
For party games Monikers, Skull King, Herd Mentality, The Resistance: Avalon (hidden role game), Sounds Fishy, and Chameleon are all faves!
An exhaustion of patience 😂😂😂😂
I realized I was a real grownup when 8th grade girls looked at me like I was a grumpy adult. I was trying to get my 6th grade daughters attention to leave an event and her friends saw me and I read their mouths saying ummmm your mom looks mad over there. That was a humbling moment for sure 😅
