So many wonderful gifts Some people are negative and don't like these videos. But for me, I love seeing the smiles that come with gift giving. So please share.
You're very lucky. Glad you had a good Christmas. My husband and I were supposed to get each other a couple of little things for Christmas. I followed the plan. He did not. There's even a DT less than a mile from our house! The day before Xmas, he was talking about how bad he was. We were out for a while and when we got home thought he might let me out and make a DT run. He did not. I shouldn't be telling all this, but I needed to unload and you all don't actually know me. He's not a bad guy and shows me he loves me lots of times, but to have nothing for Xmas sort of hurts. Since both our mother's have passed, we really just have each other. Again, I'm sorry to unload on y'all. Thanks for listening.
I get what you’re saying. Because Christmas is a holiday when everyone is getting gifts and it’s not a day where it’s just all about you. I could see how having a birthday on Christmas can feel like it’s not really your birthday. That must be hard especially when you’re a kid.
My son’s birthday is on Christmas so we always Celebrate it in November because everybody has a Birthday on Christmas. That way he gets his special day.
My birthday is December 3rd and my birthday's have never been celebrated like my brothers were. My parents were already in saving and buying for Christmas mode. I don't ever remember having a cake. There was no party. One present maybe. I couldn't even imagine how it would feel to be born on actual Christmas. Now my little brother (RIP).... his lucky bum was born on the 4th of July. Probably the best holiday to be born on. Huge parties, cake, fireworks, food, presents. He always had a blast. My sweet husband buys me cake every year now with something I would have loved as a girl. Princesses, My little ponies, etc. He made up for what I missed lol.
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas Marie! I think it's wonderful that you have enjoyed such a special time this year, you definitely deserve it. Family is so important and being able to have them, in our daily lives, is the absolute best. Your gifts were all lovely. Love your Junk Journal { Night Before Christmas} and Gooseberry Calendar. Wishing you, Mikah, Loki, and Your Mom, a Very Happy and Blessed New Year!
I really enjoyed this video and I'm excited there's more tomorrow! It goves me inspo for birthday gifts throughout the year. The cherry on top is the backdrop. I enjoy leaving my holiday decor up until around the new year, but it sems like everyone else is ready to rip it down the day after.
You just do what you want. It doesn't matter what others think. I love all you do and share. I have books from the 70's and 80's from when my boys were little. I can't get myself to give them to my daughter in law. She can wait until I die unless I can take them with me. I love what you do for me mentally. You make me happy. Thanks for all you do. ❤❤❤
Happy Birthday & Merry Christmas Marie!!! You deserve to be spoiled bc you are a wonderfully kind human!! It sparkles through all your videos. And we both have December “babies”. God bless you & your family ❤️🎁🎄
I totally agree with you. Mine is 3 days prior to Christmas. For years my gifts would be wrapped in Christmas paper. But now everyone is aware to use birthday wrap or bag. Happy belated birthday!!!
My birthday is December 12th. It never feels like a birthday and no one remembers because it’s right in the middle of a busy holiday season. Thank you for sharing your gifts. You, Mikah, and I would make great friends!
Thanks for sharing! Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I agree that 1980 Strawberry is superior! Exactly what I remember her looking like! I wish I had saved my doll!❤
My husband's birthday is Christmas day too. Always buy him gifts for each occasion and my family is great for making sure they wish him a Happy Birthday even before they say Merry Christmas.
When you mentioned August 17 that is my husband 's birthday. Happy birthday and happy New Year. When I go to Dollar Tree I always buy things I know my granddaughter would like. When I go shopping in January, I am buying more for my family then for myself. I have always like that. Now I have granddaughter and grandson in law and 3 great grandkids so I buy things for them instead of myself. I am just that kind of a person. I am loved and cared for with a lot of love. My granddaughter has been there for me ever my husband passed away. I am 78 and she and the family are what keeps me going.
Totally get you! My son is Dec 24th. He’s 25 now but we do everything we can to make his day all about him and separate from Christmas. I have a good friend with a Christmas birthday and she feels the same as you.
It is so nice to see you being spoiled for Christmas and for your birthday Because you are such a gift giver.And I'm so glad it was 1 of your best Merry Christmases and birthdays🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
The best thing I did when I got a new grill was call a plumber friend to install a gas line to our partially covered patio. Grilling outside using natural gas as opposed to using propane is so-o convenient. Living here in Texas, that grill is usable all year long.
Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us. I so enjoy watching what you got from your family. I absolutely loved the video of you guys playing the board game on Christmas. ♥
I was born in 1972 snd i had a Strawberry Shortcake doll that smelled so good... It may have been the 1970s one.. i may still havd her in my childhood box in the attic... I havent looked thru it in a long time .
With the paper doll book, xerox the pages for the clothes and you can use them in your junk journal and then you don't need to take apart the paper doll book. Thanks for sharing !!!
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas and happy new year! I can totally relate, my birthday is new years eve and the excuse was always, we spent so much on Christmas this is what is left. Red is my favorite color too! I bought the walking pad as a birthday gift for myself, 2025 will be the year to get back in shape 😊
Hi Marie, my dad's birthday was also Christmas day. When my sister and I were older my mom would have my dad wait until 5pm to celebrate his birthday. He would get a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Hope you and your family have a blessed New Year....❤🎄🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & Merry Christmas 😊 I do think this was a very special celebration for you this year being with your Mom this year ❤️ I love seeing your family with you this year. ❤️
Hi Marie thank you for all the wonderful videos I love watching them and look forward to everyone. On the pajama video I believe it was when you were making your coffee I noticed you were getting the water from some sort of I’m guessing filter system? If u don’t mind can u please link or mention how I can get myself one ? I would really appreciate it . Thank you so much and again thank you for all the work you put into your videos I do appreciate them
You could NEVER lose me! 😂I absolutely love your videos so much. So glad you spoiled yourself as well. You totally deserve to be spoiled. Game night looked so fun in your last video too BTW. We love family game nights. The vintage gifts are so awesome! Brought me back to my childhood for sure! I'm in my 40s too girl. OMG I'd totally play memory til forever! You're thee best! Happy Birthday again Hun!!! 🎉🥳🎂
Happy birthday and merry Christmas Marie. My birthday is the 2nd! My husband has me pick my own presents so I got a beautiful leather wallet and purse.
What a lovely birthday and Christmas you had! :o) That Little Golden Book junk journal is precious. How thoughtful of your mom to get that for you. :I've been collecting vintage Little Golden Books and I've never seen the two you showed from the 40s. Wow! Wishing you blessings for a Happy New Year, Marie!
Girl! I COMPLETELY understand what you are saying about your birthday on Christmas. My birthday is also on Christmas and not until this year did I start feeling like I want my own day once in a while. I feel like I miss out on birthday parties because everyone is celebrating Christmas and are super busy. I’ve decided I am picking another day to officially celebrate my birthday. 😊 probably in the summer when there isn’t any snow lol. Merry Christmas - Happy Birthday 🎉
I had that Strawberry Shortcake book as a little girl in the 80s. I remember sneaking out of bed to read it by the light in the hallway outside of my bedroom. What a surprising trip down memory lane.
We're never too old to be young at heart. You go girl with your Strawberry Shortcake, etc. as I continue with Cinderella and Snoopy. You have taught me to treat myself. My birthday isn't on Christmas but it's close to Christmas. I understand that feeling of being ripped off.❤
I get the sharing of your birthday and Christmas. My son was on his way Christmas Eve, but after 4 hours was sent home. Two days later he arrived. But my auntie said he will have his own day. So, we as a family could not join the two things. To this day will still do different days and gifts. So, wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉😊
Love, love all your gifts. Happy late birthday. Thanks for sharing. I for one am glad you're here in Texas, only cause I'm in Texas too, Dallas all the way, lol
First of all Im so glad you had a great Birthday Marie .. ansd Christmas 🎄. I am a Dec. 1st birthday so Birthday in Dec. Is rough. Love that you were spoiled. You deserve to be spoiled. Live all the junk journaling supplies and golden books. Looking forward to part 2 🎉❤
Happy late Birthday. You scored big with the things you thrifed. I can't believe the paper doll book is in such amazing shape and hadn't been used. The junk journal your mom gave you is amazing. I'm not in your demographic as I'm 70 but I enjoy your videos so much.
My cousin's birthday is on Christmas and mine is New Years Eve. We always got the combo Christmas/ Birthday gifts. We never had a special day just for us. My great granddaughter is a New Years Day baby. We go out of our way to make it special for her.
So many wonderful gifts Some people are negative and don't like these videos. But for me, I love seeing the smiles that come with gift giving. So please share.
I love these videos. ♥

I always enjoy seeing what others got for gifts.
"I don't care. Before I exit, I'm going to have fun." Love, love, love!!!❤
Happy birthday 🥳 your video saved the day as I am miserable with a head cold and there was literally nothing to watch 😮can’t wait for part 2 !
Feel Better Soon!
I wish you would show us your finished junk journals.
Yippee Marie! So glad you got spoiled for your birthday and Christmas! You definitely deserve it! 💗☺️

My son’s birthday is on Christmas so we always Celebrate it in November because everybody has a Birthday on Christmas. That way he gets his special day.
My Birthday is the 27th of December so I totally understand what you saying. I always hated my Birthday, nothing to do with age.
My birthday is fourth of July and people are barbequing and drinking but not specifically celebrating me so I get it
My birthday is December 3rd and my birthday's have never been celebrated like my brothers were. My parents were already in saving and buying for Christmas mode. I don't ever remember having a cake.

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂
Do you have tutorials on how to junk journal? I don't really understand how to do it. Love your channel. Love the Little Golden books.
I love that junk journal, it's adorable. Do you still add to it or is it done for you? I also adore that green Ralph Lauren coffee cap, gorgeous!
You have a beautiful spirit Marie! We love seeing what you get!!

Happy Belated Birthday!
