The cheesecake looks amazing. I bulk buy lemons when they are on offer as I like hot water with lemon and honey. I slice them up, freeze them on a baking sheet them tip them into a bag. That way I always have lemon slides. They are great in cold drinks and don't water things down like ice cubes but also great in hot water as they defrost and also cool the water slightly
This is exactly what I do too 😃🍋 I love hot water with lemon, but I have about six lemons worth of slices in the freezer already….ok, all an excuse to make cheesecake 😂
Ah! Cute notebook and socks! And Lilia is BACK! What a surprise! Hm, I wonder what a reading/bookish Christmas tree would be like? 😁❤️❤️ Beautiful card and crochet snowflakes! My Granny made for us a crocheted garland of snowflakes last year, it took her the entire year to work on. There might be near 200 motifs on it! It's beautiful ❄️ ...I gotta have that book 😱❤️ Those yarns and lunch✨️ hope the dessert turns out!
Hi Ali, thank you so much for sharing your time with us for vlogmas. It's very much appreciated. And thank you for the book recommendation Mouse's Wood. I had to buy it for our youngest granddaughter. I know she will adore it. Such a beautiful book. 😊
I very much enjoyed this episode. All the gifts from friends and fans, final decorating touches, cooking and no-baking cheesecake and lovely Lilia's return home for the holidays! ❤️ It was a pretty perfect day. 😊. 🧶🎄🧶
Another lovely vlog and good to see you all together again for Christmas. What a delightful lot of gifts you received chosen with so much thoughtfulness and care. All the food looked delicious. 😻
I bought that war of the worlds book you showed in your day 13 video from Amazon and it arrived today! It is AMAZING! Thank you ❤ my local bookstore couldn’t get it.
Welcome home lillia 💜 ……. My dishwasher has a red light that shines on the floor when it’s on also …. Oh my god that cheese cake looked very yummy 😋……. 🎄📖🎄
Sainsburys are the best plain digestives & rich tea biscuits & they are slightly different to how they used to be the cheese cake looked delicious Lovely to see Lilia home 👍💕
Lovely vlog Ali! That book that Jen sent looks amazing! I’ve started reading middle grade as an adult and I’ve been thinking why I didn’t do that sooner! Children’s books are written by adults so why can’t adults read them! Loved your reveal of Lillia too! I remember the joy of coming back from uni and that weight off my shoulders when I knew as I was back at the family home 💕
Oh goodness I remember that feeling too! Nothing like being home 🏠 I have some middle grade on my shelves to read too, I haven’t delved in yet! Sometimes I think that age gets the best stories :)
Hi Ali, So pleased Dan and Lillia had a safe journey home. What lovely thoughtful gifts, the crochet snow flakes would look good on your bedroom bookcase among the fairy lights maybe. Hope Dan's Mum has fully recovered from her tumble down your stairs last year. Best wishes Chris from Kent
Lovely vlog, as always. Would you happen to know the artist who did the card Julie sent you? It's the illustration of a woman walking with a bundle of branches. It's so beautiful!
How was your first night home alone? I always wander around and find it hard to settle. Which is weird as my husband often worked away before he retired. Good to Lilia home ready for the Christmas celebrations.
I'm sorry in advance; I'm probably being rude: Could you please not shake the items that you show? I can't focus on the item when it's being shaken. I do pause the video to read any information. It's me, I know. But this trend of shaking items isn't one I like. Thank you for the video. The cheesecake looked amazing.
We all love to see Lillia home and I bet you all enjoyed the Strictly final. The cheesecake looked delicious and I have the same Christmas plate you put a slice on 😊
You probably already know but in case you don't, Helen from Giddy Yarns said in Episode 150 (I think that's the right number, her latest episode, not vlogmas) that her yarn club for 2025 is Alice in Wonderland 🙂
That book looks brilliant. I learnt to love children's picture books when I had to do storytime when I worked in a library. We favour M.and S digestives above all others. Lovely to see Lillia back home for the hols 😊
Welcome back, Lilia!! Dan, it's time to finish that hat! 😅 I always get SO hungry watching your podcasts. 😋 Phoebe, I'm past due letting you know that your cookie 🍪 recipe was/is excellent. 👌
I love that on your tree the Alice ornament is chasing the white rabbit ornament 😄
You could squeeze the lemons and freeze the juice. Also I think you can freeze the lemon slices ready to be used in your hot water.

@ThisLittleWonderfulLife 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you never need an excuse for cheesecake lol
Please make a little cookbook with the recipies you use. With drawings, cozy yarn stuff, chickens and walks. ❤

I rarely comment on videos, but the crochet snowflakes are just beautiful! Enjoying your vlogmas 😊

We love Jen in this house. We have all her kids books. And I have some of her books too. The Sister who ate her Brothers is one of my favourite books.
How nice to have Lillia home and everyone under the same roof! Have fun!
Always such a pleasure to visit with you🎄 I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your sweet family

I use hobnobs for a cheesecake base.
Good to see Lillia, cheesecake looked delicious.

Oh gosh you remembered! We were talking about it with her tonight. She is fully recovered, but sleeping on the first floor this time! 🤗
Welcome home Lillia!!
Do u have your pickle ornament on your tree this year?? 🥒🥒
Squeeze your excess lemons and freeze them in ice cube trays, that way when a dish calls for a tablespoon of lemon juice you've got a portion ready x
❤❤❤
Lovely vlog, as always. Would you happen to know the artist who did the card Julie sent you? It's the illustration of a woman walking with a bundle of branches. It's so beautiful!
The best digestive biscuits available now are M&S and only about 80p . X
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
How was your first night home alone? I always wander around and find it hard to settle. Which is weird as my husband often worked away before he retired. Good to Lilia home ready for the Christmas celebrations.
It was ok, I just crocheted, watched some tv, read and had a snore free night 😅 But I felt better once everyone was home :)
ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki shows how to break free, but most people don’t even try
There is nothing better than having everyone home and under one roof ☺️💛
Will your mom read auld Lang syne (sp!) This year? Really enjoy seeing her
I'm sorry in advance; I'm probably being rude: Could you please not shake the items that you show? I can't focus on the item when it's being shaken. I do pause the video to read any information.

I totally agree. It does something to my vision and I can't focus. Thank you for bringing it up.
We all love to see Lillia home and I bet you all enjoyed the Strictly final. The cheesecake looked delicious and I have the same Christmas plate you put a slice on 😊
You don't have mush-room left on your tree! (I will see myself out now)
stuck on repeat? ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki actually changes the game
You probably already know but in case you don't, Helen from Giddy Yarns said in Episode 150 (I think that's the right number, her latest episode, not vlogmas) that her yarn club for 2025 is Alice in Wonderland 🙂
Welcome home Lillia! Such special gifts Ali!! Lovely yarns today. Amazing advents you’ve chosen!!
That book looks brilliant. I learnt to love children's picture books when I had to do storytime when I worked in a library. We favour M.and S digestives above all others. Lovely to see Lillia back home for the hols 😊
Lilia looks well and proper cheesecake, all is well 🎄
Welcome back, Lilia!! Dan, it's time to finish that hat! 😅 I always get SO hungry watching your podcasts. 😋 Phoebe, I'm past due letting you know that your cookie 🍪 recipe was/is excellent. 👌
not saying this is bad, but ebook Magnetic Aura makes it look basic
There aren't any good digestives left anymore they are all horrid. they changed the recipe a very wrong move McVitie. 😞
I recommend turning them into cheesecake :) 😄
nobody talks about the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, but it’ll flip how you see everything
trusting this over the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki? no wonder the same cycles keep happening
don’t waste your energy on weak stuff, ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is the real move
this is cool and all, but ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki shows the whole picture
