The first person to brag and say they have already wrapped all their gifts, has to buy us all a gift 🤣 Just kidding! Yay to you for not procrastinating! I however am a huge procrastinator! Anyone else put off wrapping like I do?
In addition trying not to wrap gifts at the last minute this year. My other goal is to make sure all gifts are accounted for and are opened on Christmas day - it is an ongoing joke. I always find something I bought after Christmas - so I give it to them for Easter...
My father was no longer in our life; my mother struggled. Each Christmas Eve, we were allowed to open one special gift. It always turned out to be pretty flannel nightgowns and slippers. My mother sewed them at night after we fell asleep. On Christmas morning, dressed in our new nighties, we were ready for our Kodak moment. Stiĺl rememer it at 82. Great ideas Leslie.
I just came in from shopping and feeling stressed. I am really struggling this year financially, not be able to buy for my chidren grandchildren and great granchildren. And sitting here listening to you was so relaxing and brought such wonderful memories over the years. And the poem at end may me remember JESUS is what it is all about. I know my family will tell me it's okay Nanna like you have always told us it's not about things it's about Jesus. They will be very happy with the little things I make or dollar store items for the babies. It's not the price it's the thought and caring to want to give
Yes, same with my childhood. Birthdays and Christmas we got gifts. If we wanted something special in between we had to save our own money to buy it. Life was so simple and wonderful back then.
I used to wrap everyone's gifts, but my children's, although I did a couple of theirs and put those under the tree) which were kept hidden until Christmas Eve night. Then my husband and I would wrap them before bed. The first 3 years after we separated and then divorced, we still did that together, so we were both a part of their Christmas morning.
I am one of 10 children, and we didn't have much money when I was growing up, but I never knew, we had plenty of presents on Christmas morning, the best part of Christmas for me is that all the family come together, I am 70 this year, 4 days after Christmas, and we have 18 people to find seats for at the Christmas table ❤ It's going to be fabulous like every Christmas. Happy Christmas to you and Jason, I hope you have a fabulous time with all your family ❤❤
I shared a room w my sister also. Christmas was slim for us also. We would get 1 big toy just laying under the tree unwrapped! It was so exciting! One Christmas I slept on the couch. My parents came out and checked to see if I was asleep. I pretended to be asleep and heard their whispers while they put the gifts out. I was the 1st to see them when they went back to bed! 😊
Oh, Leslie! I feel like we just spent time together. You wrapping; me crafting; two retired nurses enjoying each other’s company. Peace and comfort to you and yours this Christmastide.
This was wonderfully soothing. I, like so many, have been crazy busy so it was nice to sit down with my supper and feel like I was spending time with a friend. God Bless You and Jason.
Talking about soft slow show..I was in Barnes and Noble bookstore and reminded me of that. It was so peaceful and beautiful with very soft music in the background. Leslie I didn t want to leave it was so enjoyable!!
Mesmerizing video! You are a total genius. The funny thing for this season as I am in a cast and I don't have an opposable thumb so I'm not doing any of the wrapping this year and yet you are still fun to watch. The only memory that came to me while watching was me being really little. I must've been able to read, but barely... because in this memory I insisted on delivering presents to each recipient. There must've been 15 to 20 of us, so it was quite a job with a mega pile. I kept messing up what "from" and "to" meant, so I was always delivering the giver of the gift the gift meant for the other person. At the time everybody laughed and I felt shamed because I really could never figure it out... But I'm 47 years old and I now find it hilarious. I was clearly very stubborn because any regular kid would quickly stop doing that task. lol Cheers to all the stubborn souls who go far in life because we refuse to back down from what we want, even if we're terrible at it! :-)
Leslie, you inspire me in so many ways. Love that you’re a tulle fan!, it’s my “go to” for many occasions, instead of ribbon. So glad I watched this before wrapping gifts tomorrow. You do everything beautifully and soulfully. I hope you’ll keep on with your TH-cam videos. If the time comes when it’s too much, never regret taking time away. I’ve been there, before LBD was really spoken of or understood. My husband lost his battle over a year ago. It was a very difficult time, just getting my bearings now, and you’re a part of that somehow. Thank you and Jason for bringing awareness to it, you are brave, loving and wonderful people. God bless you on this journey ❤
Wow.. You almost made me cry.. I'm in such bad mood and I don't get in bad mood's.. Your little poem made me smile though.. See how you u-tubers touch our lives sometimes.. You say just the right thing at just the right time and make our day's a little brighter.. Thank you Leslie.. I love you and your family.. You are a gift to all of us.. 🎄🤗🎀
I loved this! You are a natural at this….so calming and relaxing! I love your regular videos…they are so cheery and upbeat. But this was a nice change of pace. I like to see a different side of you. Good job, loved it!🥰😘😍❤️
Thank you dear Leslie, it was interesting and very creative video; and, I loved, loved, loved the poem at the end of your video the most…very true, HE - the REASON for the Season - is closer than our breath to us 🙏🤗🙌😇
My grandma and grandpa made my Christmas special when we visited them. They gave all the cousins or the grandkids pajamas tops and bottoms or nightgowns and we'd all put them on and we'd have a blast best Christmas ever getting those new pajamas. Of course we had great Christmases with my big family there's nine kids in my folks as family I lost my dad in 2019 of cancer but my mom is still here and this year we're all getting together for Christmas so they'll be 10 of us and some of their families so that will be wonderful. Being together is the best part.
❤ It is so much fun to see different ways of wrapping. When I was in my early teens my twin and I wrapped gifts in a store downtown. We learned a lot about ways to wrap. To this day I am in my 70s I still love wrapping gifts 🎁 Sending hugs prayers and kindness with lots of smiles. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Great ideas Leslie! I have wonderful childhood Christmas memories! The food and laughter! My grandmother made all her grandchildren pj's or gowns out of flannel and we all changed into them each Christmas eve when we did our big family celebration. All us kids in matching Jammies!
I already wrapped all of my gifts 😂. That last one was amazing! Great job. I have a Christmas memory that's very cute. I think I was 6 years old. I came from a large Italian family with lots of aunts, uncle's and cousins. This one year we had Christmas Eve at our house. All of the cousins kept telling me that they heard that Santa was going to come visit us. We were all getting really excited! My Uncle Pat asked me where the bathroom was, as this was our new home. I told him that it was upstairs, but not to stay up there too long because Santa was coming. After he went up there my father went to the front door and looked outside because he said that he heard some noises that sounded like reindeer. All of us kids ran to the front door and looked out of the front windows. A gentle, magical snow was coming down. My father cried out, I see him! We all looked, and walking up the block with a big sack over his shoulder was the one and only REAL Santa! He was waving to the houses on our block. My dad called to him and told him that we had a lot of children inside who would love to see him. Kindly Santa obliged. He came in and we were all screaming with excitement. He sat down and opened his sack, and had a present for each child in there. When he was done, he said he had to visit other houses and my father walked him out. Just then, my Uncle Pat came back down the stairs asking if he'd missed anything. I was so upset that he missed Santa! Of course he actually was Santa, but it was such an incredibly magical night, with the gentle snow falling and Santa casually walking up the block waving to houses. 🎅
I enjoyed this time with you so much! Thanks for these ideas that turned out so sweet and pretty and no difficult folding! My daughter's presents from Santa always arrived in a special "never before seen" wrapping paper ;), different from the paper from/to family members. One year, she even found a piece of Santa's red suit that got ripped when he came down the chimney.
I like to use pretty ribbon on my gifts but what made my smile when you asked the question about gifts wrapping. Is that in my household EVERYONE knows that we don’t throughout the ribbon they have to give it back to use next year.
I would sneak under the davenport where I knew my gifts were stored. I played with a 3 x3 cube puzzle with “For God So Loved The World” on it. Then I would pretend to be surprised on Christmas Day. Another time I played with my magnetic paper dolls that were well hidden. I recall receiving a walking doll one year. But the best gift ever was a Barbie case (first one that came out) with the Barbie wearing a nurse outfit. Then mom made me clothes forBarbie including a fur coat. Great memories. ❤️🇨🇦
What a beautiful, peaceful video, Leslie. I loved all your suggestions for making simple yet elegantly wrapped packages, and the handmade bag was especially clever. I'm going to go back and re-listen to your closing words, or else see if there's a transcript. I pray that the rest of the Christmas season is so special, that Jason will enjoy it, and that it will be very very peaceful. Continuing to pray for both of you when I pray for my extended family member and his wife/caregiver, almost daily. ♥
It's January 8, 2023 and I'm just seeing this wonderful video. Loved each idea and will use them next Christmas, or perhaps for birthdays throughout this new year! Thank you for adding the lovely poem🙏🏻💚🎁 Happy 2023!!!
Honestly my thoughts were after I worked with memory care that it was you respecting Jason. I learned my resident's didn't like loud or excited sounds. However you gave me wonderful ideas on wrapping...thank you
Super pretty! 3 years ago, I sewed a bunch of draw string gift bags from a few different Christmas flannel prints. Wrapping is so much quicker now, and we don’t have garbage bags full of wrapping paper on Christmas morning.
Wow. Great wrapping ideas. Wish I hadn’t already wrapped my gifts. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas! And Merry Christmas to you and Jason. God bless you in the coming year as well!
Aww Leslie, I love this video! Doing some Christmas crafting while I hang out with you ❤️ Wish I could hang out with you in person, would LOVE to have you as a neighbor! Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and Jason 🎄🙏
What a lovely and inspiring post. Practical, but beautiful wrapping and embellishment for each type of gift ( thank you) shape and size. I love the poem at the end for the pause and reflection of the true meaning of Christmas! God bless you and yours and your willingness to share your life and talents with others. Merry Christ-mas! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
Leslie, this was such a great video. I love to wrap and make different bows, but I learned a few from you today- thank you❣️ this was owesome. The last part was touching. Have a Merry Christmas❤
As our grandchildren have gotten older, now 16 and 17, we wrap some of their gifts very uniquely. This year our grandson has to use a screwdriver to remove the wrapped plywood that encloses his gift. Our granddaughter has a gift enclosed in an old paint can that has been siliconed close then wrapped. We only buy a couple of gifts for our grandchildren and the remainder of the money is invested each year for their future education. This makes our Christmas unwrapping very funny. We do this with their birthday gifts too. Now it is expected that Nana and Papa will have some kind of gagged wrapped gift. It is all about making memories.❤❤ Merry Christmas to you and Jason. I hope you have wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family.🎅🎄🎅🎄❤️
Great wrapping ideas, thank you! And I loved the poem at the end. I grew up in MO and went to Branson and Silver Dollar City many times. Brings back wonderful childhood memories!🤗
Leslie, very cute ideas to wrap my last-minute presents and we all have them. I kind of like the idea of you speaking so calmly while wrapping these presents. I have to admit, I like your energy and bubbly personality, but I think in this video, it is a perfect way to end my evening. Love to you and hubby and Merry Christmas! Best wishes and prayers that your new year will be peaceful and healthy.
Wow Leslie that was wonderful. What clever ideas! But I wish you would have looked at us in the end! After reading the poem which I loved! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄💕🙏✝️. Debbie💜👏👏👏
This Christmas has been extra busy, watching this was so calming that I could feel the tension leaving my mind and body. Would love more videos like this. The gift wrapping is beautiful! God bless, Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
Great gift wrapping inspiration! On my trip to Walmart yesterday I bought tulle in the ribbon section. I’ve used it on several gifts already and it has made such a difference! Ladies especially love to receive a beautifully wrapped gift and these look so beautiful! Thank you! I appreciated the “calm voice” but I missed your sweet cheerful voice because thats YOU! Sweet & cheerful. 💞 Merry Christmas to you & your family!
Presents are bought and wrapped. ( No ribbon) Just came to say my oldest granddaughter is almost 24 ( youngest is 8) and they all still enjoy searching for the pickle! 😊 The tradition in our house is everyone here on Christmas Day gets a stocking - young or old. The stocking gifts are all wrapped in Santa paper. This year I am filling 14 stockings including my older grands boyfriend and girlfriend plus a University friend who won’t get home for Christmas and my Daughter in Laws Mom!
Funny, I'm sitting here making crocheted pickle ornaments while watching this video 😆! Good for you for providing gifts for all those people - have a nice Christmas 🎄
Love it! When my 3 kids were young they are adults now I wrapped the same gifts in same paper. For instance, if they got jeans, each pair would have same paper then if it was a book all the same again but different paper and so on. That way I knew to give them it to open at the same time. It also helped me see I had the same number and equal gifts for each. Now I wrap the adult in brown with bow like yours and the grandkids in the traditional Christmas paper. I enjoy your videos all the best!
Thank you Leslie for all the neat wrapping ideas. They were all so pretty. Really enjoyed the poem at the end. Merry Christmas to you and Jason and the family.
I really enjoyed this I found it really relaxing and we all need to feel relaxed in this crazy world, thank you for doing this and Merry Christmas to you, Jason and the family 🌲🤶
Leslie, I do something similar. I have 3 boys and their gifts are all wrapped in their favorite color.... red, green, and blue. Thank you for the great ideas. I love the poem at the end!!!!! ❤️🧑🎄🎄
Leslie I loved the wrapping ideas, thank you. If you have time can write down the poem, it brought tears to my eyes. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night ❤
Love that you're hittin' us with a little bit of ASMR! Also love the wine bottle/chocolate. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, and always praying for you and your family.
I like the peacefulness of this video. I'm not a procrastinator, but it seems I always have extra visitors or decide to buy gifts for extended family. So, I will finish wrapping the last few tomorrow. I have a large family...gift giving got out of hand this year and stressed me out. I'm determined not to do it next year. Merry Christmas!
I have to be honest…when the video started I thought “oh bless her heart, she has a sore throat.”😂 But loved hearing your sweet, whispering and wish all your family a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.🎄🙏🏻❤️ And, I too, enjoyed incredibly blessed Christmas celebrations in my childhood. So thankful for those memories. My amazing mother (who I lost in October😢) was an amazing hostess to 30-40 relatives at our home each year. We lived on a creek in one of the older neighborhoods in my city. It was such fun to run around all bundled up with my cousins while mom finished the Turkey and fixings. Especially loved the snowy years! Walking on the icy creek and throwing snowballs, sledding, etc. This was in the 60’s!! Miss those days…but such fun to remember.☺️⛄️🎄🎅🏻 God bless you!❤
I loved the soft spoken video. So calming ❤️ I really enjoyed the wrapping tips. Never too old to learn something new. Have a wonderful Christmas Leslie with your beautiful family ❤️
Shhhh in my low voice I feel like I should be whispering! Love the wrapping tips. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your heart and family with us !
Leslie, just amazing as always. I only wish some of these had been a few days ago, because I have already wrapped and celebrated Christmas with my family. Will use the ideas for my husbands side of the family, because those gifts have not been wrapped yet. My family gets together the week before Christmas (so this past weekend) at my Moms, that way any that have small children, or that have other families to visit do not have to rush around to make all the trips necessary & my Mom gets our undivided attention. We also decorate cookies on Saturday and serve them at church the next day. We affectionately call them "The Ugly Christmas Cookies" because we are not professionals, and just want to have fun. The church members all seem to enjoy and look forward to this every year. Wishing you & Jason a very Merry Christmas!
Each of the children has his/her own paper from "Santa". No tags required. Some people pin a sample of the paper on to the child's stocking to identify which paper belongs to whom. Your tips are beautiful.
Beautiful gift wrapping tips! Your voice was so calm and peaceful that it was lulling me to sleep. The most lovely part of your video, besides you, was your closing it out with the most fitting of poems! 😍🙏🎄
What a beautiful, beautiful video! Calming, relaxing, instructive and sweet and fun!This is just you! All the qualities and traits you posess, you've put into this video. There is sooo much noise in this world. Way too much noise. Ohhhh, how soothing your voice is in this video! It was like sitting by a fireplace, drinking a cup of hot cocoa while learning something fun! I just cannot Thank you enough for this video! You have soooo many talents! Thanks for sharing it with us! Ohhhh, and please keep the "hot cocoa" ☕️🍫coming... ...it's very much needed and appreciated!!!
What great ideas Leslie. 😊 They are all so unique! And I loved all your stories! Thank you so much for sharing with us all! Merry Christmas to you, Jason and your entire family ❤️🙏
Thank you! those were great ideas! I missed seeing your pretty face. The last one was a winner. And also for the verse! it was true, Jesus is right there. Merry Christmas to your whole family! Joyce
I am thrilled I came across your video, def gives me the ASMR vibe. Your wrapping is beautiful but your Christmas story I absolutely Love. I am going to be 60 years old in April & til this day I remember seeing Santa flying over my house in the sled with the reindeers 🤷♀️!! Crazy I know , I am sure it was a child’s crazy Imagination but it’s memory, I love
Of course I loved your video ❤ it was very soothing actually. I had the idea one year to draw and paint something on paper. So I got brown package wrap that you use for mailing. I drew cute little Christmas characters from a coloring book and painted the outlines. A Christmas mouse, little raccoon and a star with a ribbon on it. Everyone loved them . ❤ Great wrapping ideas ! Love it ❤
I commented earlier and then I watched your are we quitting video . Have you considered doing more ASMR videos? Your voice is so easy to listen to you could practically read a story and people would listen. 😊 Really enjoy you both and your channel. Regardless of content, you and Jason are both a joy.
I love all your videos but this one was very relaxing. I enjoyed seeing your gift wrapping ideas, even though I really don't have anymore to wrap. Have a blessed Christmas!! ❤️🙏❄️🎄🎅🙏❤️
I love this video and all the wrapping ideas. I feel like I just sat down with a friend. Santa always had his very own special wrapping paper at hour house. I, too, can remember loooong Christmas Eve nights wrapping and assembling gifts - sometimes until the wee hours of the morning. Those are great memories now. I wish you and Jason a very merry Christmas full of peace and love and family time. ❤
Thank you for the ribbon and bow idea's!😊 Not a fan of asmr but this video was really nice and put me in a relaxed mood to tackle gift wrapping...and no I have not even started to wrap yet...
Leslie, I loved this video and thank you so much for the brilliant gift wrapping ideas! You are a natural at ASMR! Merry Christmas wished and blessings to you and your family. God bless each of you.
All the rapping was absolutely adorable I loved it and I also loved the quote that you were saying that was beautiful thank you beautiful lady I hope you all both have a wonderful wonderful Merry Christmas you're always in my thoughts for real I'm not just saying it I think about you too quite often but y'all have a merry Christmas and enjoy each other and enjoy your family bye for now
I loved this video! I always add something extra and fun to my gift wrapping. My aunt taught me how to wrap when I was a child and I have enjoyed doing it since then! Thanks for the tips! The poem was beautiful!❤️❤️
I really liked the soft spoken video. I have done the wrapping techniques you did except the candle. Cool. I always thought how I wrapped the gift was as important as the gift. Would like to see the verse you said at the end so I can repeat it. Just love it. If you have the time I wish you would do that on your channel. May you and your family have a blessed christmas.
I’m so late getting to watch this video but I just saw in a previous comment that she said she posted the words to the poem on her fb page and Instagram. Hope you can find it and may God bless you throughout the coming New Year.
@@lindaburton7179 I found the poem and took a picture of it but it won’t let me put a picture on here so I’m just going to type it out for you as best I can. If you look for Me at Christmas you won’t need a special star- I’m no longer just in Bethlehem, I’m right there where you are. You may not be aware of Me amid the celebrations- You’ll have to look beyond the stores and all the decorations. But if you take a moment from your list of things to do And listen to your heart you’ll find I’m waiting there for you. You’re the one I want to be with, you’re the reason that I came, And you’ll find Me in the stillness as I’m whispering your name. Love, Jesus
I love you to pieces...Leslie! I'm really surprised you were able to keep up the soft voice for so long.... praying blessings for you and your beautiful family. I love Jason and just think the world of him also!!!
@@ACharmingAbode LOL. My gift…is my experience I pass on ..to wrap as soon as you buy! Plus I admit I am not as elaborate. 🤷♀️ Your gifts looks beautiful.
I loved this it gave me new ideas and it relaxed me about wrapping! I caught a cold and luckily i just a few things to wrap, but i was feeling like all my fancy ideas for gift decor went out the window. I will say though i do prefer to see your face.
Love your gift idea especially the bowl that is the neatest thing that even I could do. Wish your family peace this Christmas and a happy merry season and a great New Year. Love you all. Take care.
The first person to brag and say they have already wrapped all their gifts, has to buy us all a gift 🤣 Just kidding! Yay to you for not procrastinating! I however am a huge procrastinator! Anyone else put off wrapping like I do?
Normally, I wait until the last minute like midnight on Christmas eve. I have t9 wrap the last few gifts and put ribbons on them too.
@@hollyscott7273 Christmas Eve wrapping is definitely more my style! Lol
I procrastinate wrapped too !
Yep I am a Christmas Eve wrapper 🤦🏼♀️ I do it to myself every year!
In addition trying not to wrap gifts at the last minute this year. My other goal is to make sure all gifts are accounted for and are opened on Christmas day - it is an ongoing joke. I always find something I bought after Christmas - so I give it to them for Easter...

Mom's are special.....they always give their best for their children. Thanks to all the Mom's who go the extra mile to make lifetime memories.

My daughter's presents from Santa always arrived in a special "never before seen" wrapping paper ;), different from the paper from/to family members. One year, she even found a piece of Santa's red suit that got ripped when he came down the chimney.
I like to use pretty ribbon on my gifts but what made my smile when you asked the question about gifts wrapping. Is that in my household EVERYONE knows that we don’t throughout the ribbon they have to give it back to use next year.
I would sneak under the davenport where I knew my gifts were stored. I played with a 3 x3 cube puzzle with “For God So Loved The World” on it. Then I would pretend to be surprised on Christmas Day. Another time I played with my magnetic paper dolls that were well hidden. I recall receiving a walking doll one year. But the best gift ever was a Barbie case (first one that came out) with the Barbie wearing a nurse outfit. Then mom made me clothes forBarbie including a fur coat. Great memories. ❤️🇨🇦
Always GOOD NEWS when JESUS speaks! Merry CHRISTmas.
I loved every bit of this! The gifts turned out beautifully and the end with the poem…🥺 God bless everyone this Christmas.
What a beautiful, peaceful video, Leslie. I loved all your suggestions for making simple yet elegantly wrapped packages, and the handmade bag was especially clever. I'm going to go back and re-listen to your closing words, or else see if there's a transcript. I pray that the rest of the Christmas season is so special, that Jason will enjoy it, and that it will be very very peaceful. Continuing to pray for both of you when I pray for my extended family member and his wife/caregiver, almost daily. ♥
It's January 8, 2023 and I'm just seeing this wonderful video. Loved each idea and will use them next Christmas, or perhaps for birthdays throughout this new year! Thank you for adding the lovely poem🙏🏻💚🎁 Happy 2023!!!
Well done! Loved the simple, very doable, and yet beautiful wrapping ideas and the poem at the end was perfect!
Honestly my thoughts were after I worked with memory care that it was you respecting Jason. I learned my resident's didn't like loud or excited sounds. However you gave me wonderful ideas on wrapping...thank you
Merry Christmas to you and Jason and all the family you are helping my daughter so much right now as her hubby has early onset Alzheimer’s he is 60yrs
Leslie,
So enjoyed your sharing today of wrapping. I needed the nice calm time today. Your ideas will work for me. Thanks for sharing
I love this video. Thank you for sharing the wrapping most of all the poem. Jesus is the Love of Christmas. Merry Christmas to your family
Super pretty! 3 years ago, I sewed a bunch of draw string gift bags from a few different Christmas flannel prints. Wrapping is so much quicker now, and we don’t have garbage bags full of wrapping paper on Christmas morning.
Wow. Great wrapping ideas. Wish I hadn’t already wrapped my gifts. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas! And Merry Christmas to you and Jason. God bless you in the coming year as well!
Loved all the different gift wrap ideas but my favorite thing is the poem at the end! Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family!!
Amen!!❤💚
Aww Leslie, I love this video! Doing some Christmas crafting while I hang out with you ❤️ Wish I could hang out with you in person, would LOVE to have you as a neighbor! Sending love, hugs and prayers to you and Jason 🎄🙏
What a lovely and inspiring post. Practical, but beautiful wrapping and embellishment for each type of gift ( thank you) shape and size. I love the poem at the end for the pause and reflection of the true meaning of Christmas! God bless you and yours and your willingness to share your life and talents with others. Merry Christ-mas! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
Leslie, this was such a great video. I love to wrap and make different bows, but I learned a few from you today- thank you❣️ this was owesome. The last part was touching. Have a Merry Christmas❤
I really enjoyed watching your gift-wrapping ideas while you told stories of your childhood. It made for such a good video, thank you and blessings.
As our grandchildren have gotten older, now 16 and 17, we wrap some of their gifts very uniquely. This year our grandson has to use a screwdriver to remove the wrapped plywood that encloses his gift. Our granddaughter has a gift enclosed in an old paint can that has been siliconed close then wrapped. We only buy a couple of gifts for our grandchildren and the remainder of the money is invested each year for their future education. This makes our Christmas unwrapping very funny. We do this with their birthday gifts too. Now it is expected that Nana and Papa will have some kind of gagged wrapped gift. It is all about making memories.❤❤ Merry Christmas to you and Jason. I hope you have wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family.🎅🎄🎅🎄❤️
There are few ASMR I am able to enjoy, and I found you wonderful & calming-well done! Sending you & Jason ❤️
Great wrapping ideas, thank you! And I loved the poem at the end. I grew up in MO and went to Branson and Silver Dollar City many times. Brings back wonderful childhood memories!🤗
You gave me the tingles! you're a natural at ASMR.
I love all the wrapping ideas especially the candle bag. 🎄✝☃
Thank you so much!! 😊
Leslie, very cute ideas to wrap my last-minute presents and we all have them. I kind of like the idea of you speaking so calmly while wrapping these presents. I have to admit, I like your energy and bubbly personality, but I think in this video, it is a perfect way to end my evening. Love to you and hubby and Merry Christmas! Best wishes and prayers that your new year will be peaceful and healthy.
Wow Leslie that was wonderful. What clever ideas! But I wish you would have looked at us in the end! After reading the poem which I loved! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄💕🙏✝️. Debbie💜👏👏👏
So nice to watch a video that is soft instead of blaring loud terrible music!! Merry Christmas!!
Love how soothing this video is and beautiful wrapping! Praying for you guys everyday but especially this holiday season.
This Christmas has been extra busy, watching this was so calming that I could feel the tension leaving my mind and body. Would love more videos like this. The gift wrapping is beautiful! God bless, Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
Soothing and so enjoyable. I love the tender, soft energy of this video. Please do these more often.
Great gift wrapping inspiration! On my trip to Walmart yesterday I bought tulle in the ribbon section. I’ve used it on several gifts already and it has made such a difference! Ladies especially love to receive a beautifully wrapped gift and these look so beautiful! Thank you! I appreciated the “calm voice” but I missed your sweet cheerful voice because thats YOU! Sweet & cheerful. 💞
Merry Christmas to you & your family!
Great idea with the tulle bow. Love it
Presents are bought and wrapped. ( No ribbon) Just came to say my oldest granddaughter is almost 24 ( youngest is 8) and they all still enjoy searching for the pickle! 😊
The tradition in our house is everyone here on Christmas Day gets a stocking - young or old. The stocking gifts are all wrapped in Santa paper. This year I am filling 14 stockings including my older grands boyfriend and girlfriend plus a University friend who won’t get home for Christmas and my Daughter in Laws Mom!
Funny, I'm sitting here making crocheted pickle ornaments while watching this video 😆! Good for you for providing gifts for all those people - have a nice Christmas 🎄
@@aksez2u a crocheted pickle ornament. That’s fun!
@@margaretfuller8867 With googly eyes - LOL!
Such wonderful wrapping ideas; thank you. May you and your family feel the joy of a Christ-filled Christmas.
You are amazing with all you are going through
Love it! When my 3 kids were young they are adults now I wrapped the same gifts in same paper. For instance, if they got jeans, each pair would have same paper then if it was a book all the same again but different paper and so on. That way I knew to give them it to open at the same time. It also helped me see I had the same number and equal gifts for each. Now I wrap the adult in brown with bow like yours and the grandkids in the traditional Christmas paper. I enjoy your videos all the best!
Thank you Leslie for all the neat wrapping ideas. They were all so pretty. Really enjoyed the poem at the end. Merry Christmas to you and Jason and the family.
I really enjoyed this I found it really relaxing and we all need to feel relaxed in this crazy world, thank you for doing this and Merry Christmas to you, Jason and the family 🌲🤶
Leslie, I do something similar. I have 3 boys and their gifts are all wrapped in their favorite color.... red, green, and blue. Thank you for the great ideas. I love the poem at the end!!!!! ❤️🧑🎄🎄
Leslie I loved the wrapping ideas, thank you. If you have time can write down the poem, it brought tears to my eyes. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night ❤
I'll post it over on Instagram and Facebook! Thank you!
Love that you're hittin' us with a little bit of ASMR! Also love the wine bottle/chocolate. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, and always praying for you and your family.
Such a clever bow! I enjoyed the sound of the paper gift wrap.
I like the peacefulness of this video. I'm not a procrastinator, but it seems I always have extra visitors or decide to buy gifts for extended family. So, I will finish wrapping the last few tomorrow. I have a large family...gift giving got out of hand this year and stressed me out. I'm determined not to do it next year. Merry Christmas!
I have to be honest…when the video started I thought “oh bless her heart, she has a sore throat.”😂
But loved hearing your sweet, whispering and wish all your family a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.🎄🙏🏻❤️
And, I too, enjoyed incredibly blessed Christmas celebrations in my childhood. So thankful for those memories. My amazing mother (who I lost in October😢) was an amazing hostess to 30-40 relatives at our home each year. We lived on a creek in one of the older neighborhoods in my city. It was such fun to run around all bundled up with my cousins while mom finished the Turkey and fixings. Especially loved the snowy years! Walking on the icy creek and throwing snowballs, sledding, etc.
This was in the 60’s!! Miss those days…but such fun to remember.☺️⛄️🎄🎅🏻
God bless you!❤
I loved the soft spoken video. So calming ❤️ I really enjoyed the wrapping tips. Never too old to learn something new. Have a wonderful Christmas Leslie with your beautiful family ❤️
Shhhh in my low voice I feel like I should be whispering! Love the wrapping tips. Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your heart and family with us !
Yes! Got to keep it soft, calm and quiet! lol
Leslie, just amazing as always. I only wish some of these had been a few days ago, because I have already wrapped and celebrated Christmas with my family. Will use the ideas for my husbands side of the family, because those gifts have not been wrapped yet. My family gets together the week before Christmas (so this past weekend) at my Moms, that way any that have small children, or that have other families to visit do not have to rush around to make all the trips necessary & my Mom gets our undivided attention. We also decorate cookies on Saturday and serve them at church the next day. We affectionately call them "The Ugly Christmas Cookies" because we are not professionals, and just want to have fun. The church members all seem to enjoy and look forward to this every year. Wishing you & Jason a very Merry Christmas!
I loved the wrapping ideas but that sweet poem at the end was magic. Merry Christmas! 🎄🤍⭐️
Each of the children has his/her own paper from "Santa". No tags required. Some people pin a sample of the paper on to the child's stocking to identify which paper belongs to whom. Your tips are beautiful.
Beautiful gift wrapping tips! Your voice was so calm and peaceful that it was lulling me to sleep. The most lovely part of your video, besides you, was your closing it out with the most fitting of poems! 😍🙏🎄
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your wrapping suggestions and the calmness of your voice!
What a beautiful, beautiful video! Calming, relaxing, instructive and sweet and fun!This is just you! All the qualities and traits you posess, you've put into this video. There is sooo much noise in this world. Way too much noise. Ohhhh, how soothing your voice is in this video! It was like sitting by a fireplace, drinking a cup of hot cocoa while learning something fun! I just cannot Thank you enough for this video! You have soooo many talents! Thanks for sharing it with us! Ohhhh, and please keep the "hot cocoa" ☕️🍫coming...
...it's very much needed and appreciated!!!
What great ideas Leslie. 😊 They are all so unique! And I loved all your stories! Thank you so much for sharing with us all! Merry Christmas to you, Jason and your entire family ❤️🙏
I hope you and your family have a very Blessed Christmas and keep making those memories 🎄
Thank you! those were great ideas! I missed seeing your pretty face. The last one was a winner. And also for the verse! it was true, Jesus is right there. Merry Christmas to your whole family! Joyce
I am thrilled I came across your video, def gives me the ASMR vibe.
Your wrapping is beautiful but your Christmas story I absolutely Love.
I am going to be 60 years old in April & til this day I remember seeing Santa flying over my house in the sled with the reindeers 🤷♀️!! Crazy I know , I am sure it was a child’s crazy
Imagination but it’s memory, I love
I loved your ASMR!! /abd beautiful wrapping ideas, thank you so much!! I've always wanted to try that "make your own bag" wrap.
Great asmr video. I'm addicted to asmr & your getting your own saved folder. Wonderful sounds.
I love your beautiful wrapping ideas. They are gorgeous and yet very easy. So glad I watched this before I wrapped presents this year!
Of course I loved your video ❤ it was very soothing actually. I had the idea one year to draw and paint something on paper. So I got brown package wrap that you use for mailing. I drew cute little Christmas characters from a coloring book and painted the outlines. A Christmas mouse, little raccoon and a star with a ribbon on it. Everyone loved them . ❤
Great wrapping ideas ! Love it ❤
I commented earlier and then I watched your are we quitting video . Have you considered doing more ASMR videos? Your voice is so easy to listen to you could practically read a story and people would listen. 😊 Really enjoy you both and your channel. Regardless of content, you and Jason are both a joy.
I love all your videos but this one was very relaxing. I enjoyed seeing your gift wrapping ideas, even though I really don't have anymore to wrap. Have a blessed Christmas!! ❤️🙏❄️🎄🎅🙏❤️
What beautiful gift wrapping ideas! Love them! I do love the soft, soothing voice but I think you have a soothing voice anyway! Merry Christmas!🎄
Lovely.. sweet voice as you were wrapping..loved poem!!!
I had the exact same staircase story!
I love this video and all the wrapping ideas. I feel like I just sat down with a friend. Santa always had his very own special wrapping paper at hour house. I, too, can remember loooong Christmas Eve nights wrapping and assembling gifts - sometimes until the wee hours of the morning. Those are great memories now.
I wish you and Jason a very merry Christmas full of peace and love and family time. ❤
Thank you for the ribbon and bow idea's!😊 Not a fan of asmr but this video was really nice and put me in a relaxed mood to tackle gift wrapping...and no I have not even started to wrap yet...
Leslie, I loved this video and thank you so much for the brilliant gift wrapping ideas! You are a natural at ASMR! Merry Christmas wished and blessings to you and your family. God bless each of you.
All the rapping was absolutely adorable I loved it and I also loved the quote that you were saying that was beautiful thank you beautiful lady I hope you all both have a wonderful wonderful Merry Christmas you're always in my thoughts for real I'm not just saying it I think about you too quite often but y'all have a merry Christmas and enjoy each other and enjoy your family bye for now
I loved this video! I always add something extra and fun to my gift wrapping. My aunt taught me how to wrap when I was a child and I have enjoyed doing it since then! Thanks for the tips! The poem was beautiful!❤️❤️
I really liked the soft spoken video. I have done the wrapping techniques you did except the candle. Cool. I always thought how I wrapped the gift was as important as the gift. Would like to see the verse you said at the end so I can repeat it. Just love it. If you have the time I wish you would do that on your channel. May you and your family have a blessed christmas.
I’m so late getting to watch this video but I just saw in a previous comment that she said she posted the words to the poem on her fb page and Instagram. Hope you can find it and may God bless you throughout the coming New Year.
@@pampriddy7659 No I do not do fb or instagram. Would still like to have the words. Thankyou for telling me . May God Bless your new year.
@@lindaburton7179 if I can find it on fb I’ll write it down and send it to you if you want me to.
@@pampriddy7659 that would be so kind of you. Thank you
@@lindaburton7179 I found the poem and took a picture of it but it won’t let me put a picture on here so I’m just going to type it out for you as best I can.
If you look for Me at Christmas
you won’t need a special star-
I’m no longer just in Bethlehem,
I’m right there where you are.
You may not be aware of Me amid the celebrations-
You’ll have to look beyond the stores and all the decorations.
But if you take a moment from your list of things to do
And listen to your heart you’ll find I’m waiting there for you.
You’re the one I want to be with, you’re the reason that I came,
And you’ll find Me in the stillness as I’m whispering your name.
Love,
Jesus
I love you to pieces...Leslie! I'm really surprised you were able to keep up the soft voice for so long.... praying blessings for you and your beautiful family. I love Jason and just think the world of him also!!!
Ahhh…I do have to say I am all wrapped for the season! I wrap as I go…this is a little late. But will keep your ideas for next year. Lol.
LOL you get to buy us all a gift since you were the first to say you are all done! 😂 good job!
Glad Kathy spoke up first. I finished shopping and wrapping in the middle of November. Decorating was complete by November 1st.
@@ACharmingAbode LOL. My gift…is my experience I pass on ..to wrap as soon as you buy! Plus I admit I am not as elaborate. 🤷♀️ Your gifts looks beautiful.
@@nclady100 Darn it! 🤣🤣 you would have won!
I’m so excited to do the home made bag! I bought several candles 🕯️ this yr ❤
I loved this it gave me new ideas and it relaxed me about wrapping! I caught a cold and luckily i just a few things to wrap, but i was feeling like all my fancy ideas for gift decor went out the window. I will say though i do prefer to see your face.
You are really good at this! ♥ Merry Christmas! 🇧🇻
What a great video and Beautiful saying at the end. Made me a bit teary eyed. Great christmas bag idea too Leslie. 😢🎅🌲🎄🎀
Love your gift idea especially the bowl that is the neatest thing that even I could do. Wish your family peace this Christmas and a happy merry season and a great New Year. Love you all. Take care.
