I Spent Christmas Day on a Cruise Ship - It Was Unusual

- When I booked an MSC cruise that included Christmas day onboard, I didn't know what to expect. The result was a cruise that I will never forget, for many reasons!
The cruise took place onboard the MSC Meravglia and we visited Italy, Spain, France, and Malta during the 7-night cruise.
In this video, I talk about food, entertainment, Christmas decorations, and more.

We have a severely handicapped child who needs constant attention and is often violent. One year we saved up our respite days and took the other children on a cruise. It was delightful. We bought along a little tiny tree and one or two little gifts each, and put a banner and a wreath up. Their turkey dinner wasn’t as good as ours at home, but then some of us didn’t chose it anyway and none of us had to do dishes! We sang carols quietly in one of our rooms and “lit” a battery operated candle, because we do something like that at home. It was memorable.
We've done Christmas cruises on Celebrity every year since 2013 (except 2020) and love it. I hate the stress of dealing with extended family, shopping, running around getting everything done, etc. at home. Now we just tell everyone "sorry, we're on a cruise" and enjoy doing what we want on Christmas eve and day. Plus it's great to see the ports decorated as well.
That is the exact reason why I love xmas cruises. My wife did not want to do it at first because she did not want to be away from family. Now she wants to cruise every Christmas and Thanksgiving.
How I enjoy your bright presentations!
I rarely leave my farm in the French Alps as I have everything I need. The thought of getting on a big boat with thousands of other people and venturing on the oceans is a strange one to me, although there are lakes nearby and brave people with boats.
I have never seen the oceans, but most people have never seen a small farm in the Alps.
It is always interesting and enjoyable to observe how other people live their lives and enjoy themselves.
It is that one enriches one's life by learning about different things and your channel provides great enjoyment.
If I were to take an ocean holiday, based on your programmes, It would be from SouthHamton to New York on the Queen Mary II, but I would have to obtain the passport and purchase a locker of new clothings.
Best wishes to you.
Yes! Thanks so much. 😌
I'm from a steel town in Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh), and in my home we always put out a shot of Crown Royal and a beer, because "Santa was tired, cold and sick of milk" when he got to our house. He must of liked it because we always had lots of gifts! 😉
Hahaha! I love it 🤣🤣
lol happen to be of Eastern European heritage? Shot and a beer, grew up with that and my folks were Polish. 😊
@@heideleskun1163 my dad was german...and dont tell anyone, *whispers* but I think he was santa...😉
Do you drink it as a 'boilermaker?'
@@ronaldcross I know that when my dad drank them with my 99 year old great aunt (yep, 99 years old) they dropped the shot glass directly into the beer glass and chugged. She was quite a lady! Now, I'm not sure what 'Santa' did. I bet he was in a hurry though, sooo.....🎅 🥃🍺
As a Aussie, Christmas for us is always summer, so cruising the South Pacific over the Christmas period is awesome.
However it is strange singing Christmas carols about snow when the temperature is 30+ and definitely no snow
YES!! Ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I take it the carols you’re singing are not Australian carols? Maybe someone will write a nice festive Carol about throwing another shrimp on the barbie and applying some factor 30 sunscreen.
I’m in Texas. You never know what the weather will be like. Yesterday (Thanksgiving) was a good example of that. It was nice and warm and we were wearing shorts, but today is cold and I’ll break out my sweat pants ha ha.
I have relatives in Australia, or Oz as they frequently call it, and trust me, having the seasons backwards is the HARDEST thing to get your mind around. My cousin is thinking about coming to the US next Summer vacation, meaning January.
@@cruisecrazy7066Funnily enough was booked to visit Ottawa last Christmas but a pandemic got in the way.
Good manners cost nothing..well said💗
My wife and I spent Christmas on a Carnival ship two years ago. There were tons of decorations and entertainment aimed a children. Everyone who takes a Christmas Cruise does it for a reason. When you remember that that many have either chosen not to be with their family or have no family to be with the whole experience takes on a different hue. The pros were were missing the horrible weather back in the states for a few days and Carnival doing its best to make it a cheerful experience (even though they were a little over the top at times). The cons were that it could be really dreary if you thought too much about why you were there instead of at home. The only thing missing were religious services. They may have scheduled services but we didn't see it. That might have taken the edge off of some of the bittersweet tone. One of the cutest things about the whole trip was watching the officers getting to spend some time with their families. The sight of our charming Italian captain giving his wife and bambinos a tour of his ship was just too sweet. I would do it again. One the whole it was a pleasant experience. Happy Thanksgiving Emma.
And think of the crew working on Christmas instead of being at home with their families. I couldn’t do it.
@@penelopepitstop762 I had a bit of interaction with the crew and they didn't seem to mind much. A lot of the serving staff were Indonesian or other Asian cultures so Christmas didn't mean much to them anyway. Others like the lower ratings and security appeared to be mostly Serbian. They seemed happy enough. And, the officers who chose to had their families on board. Over all the crew didn't appear any different than on any other cruise.
@@BillKumpe that’s good to know. I didn’t think about them not celebrating Christmas, so it’s probably just another day to them. But, the crew members work so hard I don’t think they’d let you see them any other way than happy.
@@penelopepitstop762 Reading people was a survival skill in the profession(s) I retired from. And, I like to interact with the crew as appropriate. A really sweet little Indonesian girl we talked to was sad she had not seen her child in a while but it wasn't because of Christmas. She wasn't Christian. But she shared that she was happy to be making enough money to send home to take good care of him. The Serbian security guard responsible for the deck area where we hung out seemed pretty cheerful. He was young, handsome and surrounded by pretty girls in bikinis who were giving him glances as he made the rounds. He didn't have to help the tiny filipino deck crewman polishing the hot tubs and pool fixtures but he did. Helped him lift heavy stuff and even picked up a rag and polished some of the high stuff the little guy had a hard time reaching. He looked to me like a nice (but tough if he had to be) kid having the adventure of his life. I didn't see any "Christmas blues" and I believe I would have read it if it were there.
I spent Christmas 2013 on MSC Fantasia from Genoa to the Eastern Mediterranean including a 2 day stop in Israel. Absolutely loved the cruise and especially the food. I don’t like all the sentimental rubbish of a British Christmas and so it suited me fine. A lot of Italian children thought I was Father Christmas and I had many requests for photographs. Christmas Day was actually a port day in Piraeus, the only time I have ever visited mainland Greece. Piraeus was completely dead and I only spent an hour or so ashore. This was my second MSC cruise. I would have done many more but then they started making it difficult for solo cruisers to book with them especially as regards choice of cabin so I haven’t been with again so far.
Your mom was so correct. Manners is always the best thing. Christmas 🎄 when it’s warm seems very odd; especially when you live where there’s snow for Christmas.
Australian here, Christmas is the dead middle of summer lol !! So we are the total opposite.
We spent one Christmas on a Royal Caribbean ship in the Caribbean. The whole ship was decked out in traditional Christmas decorations. It was fantastic, even though it was weird being in a warm climate on Christmas. The food had all the Christmas favorites ( prime rib and turkey), all the traditional pies; there was Christmas music, a carol sing, and even a midnight mass. We had a wonderful time.
I’m not Catholic now, but my grand parents were and I remember going to midnight mass once as a child and coming home to see that Santa had already came by. Another time we were driving and saw a red light in the sky and my dad telling me it was Rudolph’s nose! I feel grateful my parents let me believe and did that for me. So… needless to say, I love the Christmas spirit!
My sister in law was Italian and we would go to their place for Christmas. We would get there around noon and the food would start to be served...and it went all day. Our family never did gifts (only gave to the kids) so I don't miss gifts now that I prefer to travel on Christmas and YES!!! Don't give people gifts if they're not going to be home.
Santa probably gets the savory treats from the Brits because he goes there first, then he heads to America and gets the cookies and milk. So, of course one would eat savory before sweet, right? Well it makes sense to me! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Perfect sense!! ;)
Come on. Everyone knows "Die Hard" is the best Christmas movie...LOL.
NOOOOO!!!!!!! Not even a good movie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Friends, I only have one word for you to sum up the *BEST* Christmas movie ever: "Fra-gee-lay" ~ The Old Man, 'A Christmas Story'. 🙂😉
My last cruise was on Pride of America in early December in 2019, and there was a display of gingerbread houses and there were decorative swags along the railings of the atrium stairways. So it was a very Christmas atmosphere for me.
I once cruised right before Christmas and Princess did it really well. They had decorations and carols. It was so good.
I love that we share the same attitude about cruising: always keep an open mind & have patience ❤ We're leaving in 9 days for an NCL Christmas cruise to the Caribbean & I'm excited for your P&O Christmas cruise, too!
Yes! Oh my that sounds amazing. Have a great time! 🥳🥳
We also grew up with Father Christmas, he will always be called that nomatter how old I get . I do love cookies, and yorkshire puddings, although i haven't had much luck making it.
Love how she mentioned xmas somewhere hot. Here in Brazil xmas is during our summer, so a lot of us spend dec. 24th and 25th laying on the beach every single year
Interesting. Well be on NCL Escape for Xmas and New Year. I think NCL will have lots of decorations but I'm not bothered what food we have on Xmas day because im sure it will be good!
We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We have mince meat pies in the states, though it is certainly not one of the popular ones. I grew up with it because my mother grew up with her Irish grandmother. So, when I was growing up, we had large mincemeat pies, and it is still one of my favorite pies. Cookies or pie...pie, always!
I love watching your videos, great info, but Christmas Vacation is the best Christmas movie😊
“Didnt know if it would still feel like Christmas being somewhere hot.” Laughs in Australian. As an expat Brit, no, it never really feels like Christmas when it’s hot. Been here 40 years and it just never has felt right. That’s why we do Christmas in July as well.
Also laughs in southern Texan.
I don’t know if I could cruise (or take any vacation) on Christmas - unless all our kids were with us. I could easily give up Thanksgiving, but not Christmas.
You would expect the ships to be over the top decorated. Trees and decorations everywhere
Our last December Christmas cruise on Princess blew up away. On a Royal Class ship they did the tree lighting ceremony with a snow blowing machine up on the upper level snowing down on the Piazza.
Easter is the biggest holiday for Italians ie He has risen. Christmas Eve is lots of different fish dishes. Sailed on HAL for one heck of a deal years ago for Christmas week. Great decorations, songs etc. Spent Christmas Eve in the BBKing lounge for entertainment. It was SRO with the all the officers in the back of the room. Excellent talent! Great memory of the one time I got to just get dressed and enjoy the holiday. We usually have the full house of family and friends. Fun, but lots of work.
I believe that Christmas Trees entered the United Kingdom from Germany when Prince Albert married Queen Victoria in 1840, so it is a recent innovation.
Thank you for the video. Have an amazing weekend!
Yess! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Roast potatoes! Yum.
I went on a costa cruise ship on Christmas once. An Italian catholic old priest or some Christian leader who wear priest clothes flew from Italy to be on the ship on Christmas day to conduct a Christmas service. It was really interesting. I stayed all the way to the end of the service and first time got the chance to get a tiny odd looking biscuit (bread) and wine at the end
I’ve never seen Elf. Two great Christmas movies are: “Christmas in Connecticut” and “The Bishop’s Wife”, which was later remade as “The Preacher’s Wife.”
You really look beautiful in your black and white dress! One question though, if certain nights aren’t designated as gala or formal dress nights, how would you feel about taking the time and trouble to get nicely attired for dinner only to be seated next to a person still in their pool side shorts and flip flops?
Perfectly good! Doesn’t affect me at all what others wear, I’m not wearing it 😀❤️
Thanks for posting. I never entertained the idea of spending Christmas on a cruise ship. Maybe someday.
Good manners cost nothing...HERE HERE
We were in Rome on Christmas Day and it was amazing! The streets were empty.
Haha!! Because people like me couldn’t be bothered 😂❤️
Given it’s basically a Catholic country I wouldn’t be surprised it’s both a strong religious and a family day and little would be open and it would be a ‘day of family gathering’.
We cruised on the Meraviglia Jan 2 and your Christmas decor was still up. After a couple days at sea, one morning we got up and everything was gone, not so much as a Christmas hook was left (you would have thought the Grinch had hit the ship)!
It looked like lobster was included.? Sadely we have not been offered lobster nor escargot on both of our MSC cruises 😥
Our sailing had ~700 passangers but the crew said the group that just got off was 3,000 with 700 kids
(the crew seemed pretty grumpy on our first day) 😉
Emma, P&O used to be pretty good for British Christmas fare. Nice luxury decorations and not too noisy parties! We were in the Pacific on Christmas day and it was all really relaxed and made quite a nice change. Some people though got tied up with being in a Carol Choir which held practice sessions when everybody else was out on deck having a great time! Hee hee! 🎅
Yesss, looking forward to it! :-)
Yep I have no tolerance for people who are rude to staff on a ship and have got to the point where I call out the unacceptable behaviour. I do this discreetly, but firmly.
I have cruised over Christmas on Princess and it was lovely. The TV turned into a roaring fire, which was such a pleasure and everyone had a little stocking on their pillow , it had candy canes , a pen and a new lanyard, our cabin staff had wrapped it in pretty paper, which was so kind. I did bring little gifts for crew members , ie wait staff and cabin staff and my favourite bar staff.
The food was traditional American Christmas dinner and it was all great, no yorkies , no pudding but delicious .
I travelled alone, but it was very friendly and lots of children.
That’s good to hear! Sounds awesome. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Agree!! Elf is the best Christmas movie!!
As a British Australian, the Father Christmas/Santa thing is so extremely interchangeable from everything I’ve seen so much I never even knew it was a British/American thing.
Yeah! :D Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
We are doing xmas on the Majestic Princess Dec 22. Also. Best xmas movies are “A Christmas Story”, 8-bit Christmas”, and the very best “Die Hard”.
Cunard Christmas is a thing of beauty
LOVE a mince pie!
Here here it’s Father Christmas 🌲🌲⛄️🎁🎁 then again I’m 55 old school😁😁😍😍
Elf IS the best Christmas movie, hands down!
We are going on our 3rd Xmas and New Year Cruise this year , embarking in 4 weeks from Fort Lauderdale ... can't wait , love the Xmas cruises.
Emma, thanx for your work (cruise-youtubing), I love it. Your video's endings are very fast and sudden. I usually don't have a chance to click the like button before the next video (of yours) starts. You might want to consider to add a little outro to your videos, after having said bye. - 5 seconds already would be enough. I'm sure that will bring a lot more likes for you and more relaxation for your audience. 😇
Hey Dominic, the idea is that the end of the video isn’t the end, just a pause before the person clicks onto the next video. Thanks for your feedback though appreciate it 😀❤️
@@EmmaCruises As far as I know, TH-cam-standard is to automatically start the next video. So they don't click on the next video, it starts automatically and thus no chance to click the like button.
@@EmmaCruises Which is the most brilliant TH-cam strategy I've ever seen. Like ending a chapter with a cliffhanger so you have to keep going to find out what happens next.
I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing your review of your upcoming P & O cruise! It sounds like it will be wonderful, maybe not very relaxed on Christmas Day, but wonderful to get the more traditional British experience and food. I'd love to try P & O, maybe with my Mom, who enjoys dressing up and having tea in the afternoons. My husband would hide in the stateroom! :) I know when I was a student in Spain, January 6th was a bigger deal than December 25th for gift-giving and fancy meals, so maybe the same in other Mediterranean countries? I remember Christmas Day being very quiet, as offices and schools were closed.
I am on Carnival Dream at the moment and it is decorated for Christmas. It was fun to watch the crew put them up. The trees and garland in the atrium are beautiful. There are other trees scattered about but those are not well lit so are a bit disappointing. All in all it's a fun time to cruise.
Eli IS the best Christmas movie!
Love this video as I've wondered what Christmas was like on MSC or Costa and then look forward to comparing with P&O. Definitely something I want to do in a few years time.
Yes! Thank you! 😁❤
The best Christmas movie is 'A Christmas Carol' with George C. Scott. Period.
When I think Christmas cruises, I think “The Poseidon Adventure”. Climbing for your life up a giant upside-down Christmas tree on a capsized cruise ship would be on my mind the entire time if I tried it. 🥺
Oh dear. :')
🌲 Fantastic video - thank you
If you want good food and Turkey. there is only 1 cruise line celebrity eclipse (celebrity) The food the drink is amazing.
Wow! I have been to Vegas for Christmas but it never occurred to me to be on a cruise for Christmas. What a wonderful idea. We did spend Christmas in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 many years ago but we rented a condo.
We have only recently changed (in the last decade) from a traditional English Christmas dinner. That’s now for Christmas in July. For our summer Christmas we now have a range of salads, roast meat cooked on the Webber, pavlova and trifle for dessert. It’s much nicer not to have to do a full roast dinner when it’s boiling hot.
I do find it so weird when I see bowls of salads with dinner, ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises it still feels odd but dying of heat because it’s hot and you’ve got the oven going on as well is just the pits. Better to go cold and save the traditional (and still the best) Christmas dinner for winter. And that way you get two grand celebrations and break up the year nicely. We don’t generally put the tree up but we do get the table decorations out. And so many restaurants do ‘Christmas in July’ with the entire place decorated for Christmas. It’s lovely.
@@andreagriffiths3512 Haha, that is really really cool. I had no idea! :)
That cruise defeated the whole purpose of cruising with the Christmas spirit. Thanks for sharing.😎
I haven't done a Christmas cruise but I have done several on Thanksgiving. Often times there is a Christmas tree up and very mild decorations. I always assumed they would do more Christmas decorations in another week or two. I would be up for a Christmas cruise if it wasn't for how high flights are during the holidays. Yes I know I just said I've done Thanksgiving cruises and I do understand the irony. The last Thanksgiving cruise we took we decided would be our last due to how much the plane tickets go up. Going forward we're going to continue a fall cruise, just not on a holiday week. I don't think I would bring any gifts onboard though.
Looks like you had a great time Emma.
My favourite Christmas movie is hands down Die Hard. Yes it’s a Christmas movie. Historic fact ;). Elf is pretty good too!
My first cruise was a Christmas Cruise in the early '90s. With my mum. It was a Disney Cruise before DCL on Premier Cruise Line. They had the right to use the Disney Characters on board. The boat was more like the Love Boat. No Balconies, one dining room, and about 1500 guests onboard. It was just a 3-night cruise to Nassau and to their private island. We boarded on Christmas Eve and Christmas was a sea day. I just remember the last night the boat was late and it was pretty rough racing back to Port Canaveral. As our cabin was near the waterline (like most of the cabins) and we only had a porthole for our oceanview. Cruises have changed for the better I think. Plus we had 4 days at WDW after the cruise. Of cruise that was my main gift for that Christmas. BTW Elf was mostly filming in my city of Vancouver.
Took that cruise with our son in 1991 for our 10th anniversary. First cruise ever, no complaints.
We disembarked Jewel of the Seas in Fr Lauderdale yesterday morning. Thanksgiving dinner options incl a traditional turkey dinner or ham. The next morning Christmas decorations were out, and the tree was lit.
I cruised once over Christmas, not specifically a Christmas cruise, most passengers decorated their cabin doors and we also decorated the lounge. As Christmas isn’t celebrated by all I can remember one passenger response to the lounge decorating as “Christmas has thrown-up”
One is never too old for Santa/Father Christmas to give one a gift
Grew up in New Orleans
. Pierre Noel visited us on Dec 6 with gifts in our slipper
Kris Kringle on Christmas Eve not stockings
Wise man filled our stockings on Jan 5/6
Loved our. German French Spanish heritage it spread out the joy loved your Boxing Day as an exchange studen
Still send my 30 something kids gifts for all 3 holidays
Can’t wait till we can work vacation and do a Christmas cruise again
Emma, Die Hard happens at a Christmas Party in the Building that the movie is about. So we Americans consider it a Christmas movie. Same for Home Alone 1 & 2.
Wow Emma. I would think it would be ridiculous with decorations. I plan one day to take a Christmas New Years cruise vacation permitted. Guess it depends on the cruise line. Yes. We leave cookies and milk. Our Christmas in NY sounds very similar to yours. Our meals sound similar as well. Great video. Have a great day. Happy Thanksgiving and see you next video.
Thanks Cydney! 😀❤️
I'm hoping that maybe next year four siblings can get together with their family and do a Christmas Cruise. As I told you before she books Platinum card members for AMEX to do vacations all around the world, the majority being cruises.
We have booked Christmas on MSC this year. Thank you for your video. I don't mind not having turkey :) Enjoy Christmas on Iona.
I wanted to do the MSC Middle East cruise from Dubai next Christmas 🎄
Hi Emma, Jill and I got off the Celebrity Millennium this morning ((Thanksgiving Day) and we're sitting in Washington DC Airport for next flight back to Connecticut. The Main Dining Room did have turkey on the menu. But the Steak Dianne looked better, and it was. We'll have turkey with the whole family in one week, making sure no covid symptoms because of having our grandkids there. Cruise was fan-tabulous. Tired now. Hi from Bob and Jill soon to be back in Connecticut in our own bed. Go Chelsea Blues 💙
Hope by the time you read this you're home safe and sound!! So glad you had a great time. Go blues!
Definitely want to do Chrissy on a cruise ship but it has to be a Pommy one so it still has all the awesome food. So probably on P&O around England and it will also be good to see a Christmas when its cold.
Emma I love your channel. But we digress, Bad Santa is the all-time greatest Christmas movie
Was this Christmas 2019?
Generally love your videos and that you are such a laid back cruiser. But there is no world in which any Will Ferrell movie is the best (in any category). 😆😁
Haha!! Nope before 2019. Elf is Definitely the best 🥺😂
We have done 4 cruises over Christmas, all with Princess, Christmas has always been a good experience. I must admit I did send the Christmas evening meal back once...as it's American...The turkey was covered in a sweet sauce, the potatoes were coated in what one can only assume was icing sugar, the sprouts had a honey glaze as did the small sausages, I think the gravy was maple syrup.
Apart from that one bad meal Christmas has always been great.. Try Princess...
We did a Thanksgiving cruise on Norwegian. It was awful. Pork chops!
No decorations. Very disappointing. Christmas on Princess is magical. Over the top decorations and atmosphere.
Haha!! Pork chops 🤣🤣
Falling out means fighting right...its the british thing
Falling out usual implies two friends either having a fight or disagreement - that’s my understanding coming from Britain. It usually is always between ‘friends (or family)’. You can’t have (IMO) a falling out between 2 strangers for example.
When our kids were younger we couldn't conceive of anything other than traditional holidays at home. My wife and I were discussing this yesterday that now that the kids are adults now that it would be great to get away for the holidays. As soon as we get mom out of the house we are gone!!
I assume that Christmas Eve is the main day in Italy, like in Spain. I was in Madrid this Christmas and on Christmas Day I went to the cinema! It feels so strange for a British person!
My Scottish born father loved Yorkshire Pudding and was astounded that I couldn't understand the attraction, and my position on it then and now was, I'll just pass thank you. Needed to look up why the Bay of Biscay was notorious, as a land locked Canadian I'd heard of it but didn't understand the reference. Now I know.
Haha, think of it like our little Bermuda triangle... ;)
Just to add to that, many Brits that cruise into the Med have to travel through the notorious Bay of Biscay. They usually hit the area very early in the morning and the ship can be a bit quiet for a while! It can be really aggressive with huge swells to ruin your whole day or amazingly on other occasions like a mill pond and barely a ripple!
Makes life interesting though!!! 😉
Born and raised in Texas, I've loved Yorkshire pudding since I first tasted it at the age of 12. I understand the indifference many feel toward it, but I'm baffled by some people's distaste for the stuff.
I liked th MSC vibe and would happily do one over xmas or any other time..
Arthur Christmas, slays over Elf. Controversial opinion which I’m happy to support 👍
Noooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lucky you going on Iona for Xmas always very traditional with great food. Have travelled P&O from Southhampton many times. Here in Australia ad you know our cruise season was cancelled we hope it all returns next year Happy Cruising.
We are on a Caribbean cruise this year leaving on Boxing Day. First cruise since March 2020.
Ooo!!!!!! Amazing. Have a great time! 🥳🥳
I will embark on 26dec on MSC Fantasia, I am very excited 😁. Thank you for this video!!!
Very late to this, but it’s worth remembering that in most of Europe, including Italy and Spain, the main Christmas celebration and meal is on the 24th, rather than the 25th…
I will be cruising over Christmas on divina yacht club. I hope its worth it
Elf was 2021's first Christmas movie for me. High 5!
YESSS!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I always love your videos Emma.
Thank you! 😁❤
I totally agree with you on ELF.
Yesss 😁🙌
The BEST XMAS MOVIE----------> DIE HARD!
Nooo!! 😂😂😂
So since u mentioned it, how do u pack ladies formal wear that meets P &O’s requirements?
My best christmas was my wife and I on White Beach, in Boracay, Philippines. Cold weather, presents, and family are all overrated ha ha 😎
I’d rather have a mince pie than cookies. I’d make one but all my mince lovers have passed away, so cookies it is.
Elf is the best
Another great video, Emma!
Thanks Robyn!! 😀❤️
Die hard is the best Christmas movie, followed closely by Gremlins.
Happy Thanksgiving
To you too! 😁❤️
A Christmas Carol #1...
Can't wait to cruise again
