Hi Karen this is Heather I have been following you for a few years and just really love the Christmas spirit that you and Lauren bring out. I really love the new format and I have sent congratulations for Lauren for her 1st vlog miss. I tried 1 recipe from you and one from Lauren. I have made 3 batches of the spiced nuts now. I think they will be on my permanent Christmas cooking traditions now. I just changed the sweet to keto maple syrup the rest was the same. Fantastic. I made Lauren's olive and feta dip can't wait to share with my friends. Thank you both for inspiring us during the Christmas season I wait all year, really, for your Christmas spirit.

🎄WELCOME TO MY HOME FOE THE HOLIDAYS! Enjoy a cup of coffee with me while I share delicious festive recipes, my new haircut & precious family moments! Please don't forget to share your FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE HERE IN THE COMMENTS! Love to all! Karen xo
Loved this so much Karen. Your grandchildren are precious. Such a gorgeous picture with you and one of your granddaughters. The picture of your daughter with one of her daughter's is beautiful. The expressions on your little darlings faces filled with excitement is priceless. Thank you Karen.
CJ is adorable with a smile to melt your heart. The girls look like little cherubs - absolutely precious! Favorite movie - The Polar Express. Love the message to never give up the magic of believing. Enjoyed the recipes and a glimpse of Archie.
You are such an uplifting, loving lady! I just love watching your weekly adventures and your family is beautiful! There’s nothing like those grandchildren! ! Can’t wait for your next one!
Little Giada helping you with the Advent Calendar was so precious! She was so proud of herself! 💖 You looked great in your black and white Express dress! 😍 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Grand children's smiles , just warm a persons heart. What fun to share Breakfast with Santa Claus, with them. Than you for taking the time to share these special times with us. Also, love your haircut.
GM. Another beautiful Christmas Vlog. I loved watching everything. Look at your beautiful family - I love it!!!! All of those beautiful grand babies.....nothing better. I'm in the mood to make a few little snacky items now - those nuts looked amazing. I might try those out. Trying to watch my calorie intake but dang it is hard at Christmas. Lol! Much love to you and yours!!!
Karen - your haircut is adorable. I totally understand getting used to the shorter length. My hairstyle is very similar to yours and I was just looking at a picture of when I had mine at your new length and I thought oh wow that was really short. Then I look at my hair now and think how fast it grows. You may have inspired me to give mine a little trim when I go back later this month.
Great vlogmas Karen....always full of fun and great ideas and...and of course festive. PS: I love your hair cut...looks great. Have a great week....it's almost Santa go time. ;)
CJ is adorable!!! What a happy little guy! ❤ Your haircut is super cute! It’ll be just how you like by Christmas! Going to get mine cut and highlights this week. Can’t wait! Thanks for your beautiful posts! Merry Christmas!! 🎄 ❤
No one ever mentions my favorite Christmas movie. Its PRANCER... Oh my goodness.... if that little girls spirit doesn't fill your heart, then you don't have one. She is a true believer in the deepest sense. It is so heartwarming, I watch it every year. And speaking of heartwarming... what an incredible, beautiful family. You have been blessed, and I know you feel that. Merry Christmas
Such an adorable vlogmas with the grandchildren…love your haircut. We have similar cuts and i too am going a bit shorter ❤ thanks for your hard work much appreciated.
Just a note on the ice cubes, I learned the hard way that while they are very festive its best to omit the rosemary. I had someone swallow some and it stuck in their throat. Not a good time. lol The oranges and cranberries are festive enough and people don't mind eating them. Great video, the grandbabies are adorbs!
I love your hair that length! Your hair looks fuller at the roots and has more lift really in the crown area. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I so enjoyed seeing your grandchildren. Your recipe are always awesome.Merry Christmas!!!
Everything looks beautiful at your home. You have a beautiful family. I know you will have a great Christmas with the grandkids. There is so many Christmas Movies I have loved over the years, but, my favorite of all time is Rudolph.
Beautiful vlog! Your babies are precious. I have so many favorite Christmas movies, the ones you mentioned for sure. Miracle on 34th Street is another classic.
Love your videos! Makes it feel like Christmas! I love your hair the length it was in the first of the video. It looks good shorter too. White Christmas is still my favorite movie. But my favorite hallmark movies are The most wonderful time of the year, The Christmas Card & Road to Christmas! I watch them every year! Your porch is so homey and warm! Love it!
Your Vlogmas videos are the best Karen, so much appreciation for all the work you do here for all of us 💖 Your home looks so beautiful all decked out for the Holidays, oh my gosh, Lunch with Santa looked like so much fun, and the food looked delicious. One of my fav Christmas movies is definitely "The Holiday" but my first pick is "The Homecoming" it was the movie that included the Walton family from the TV series back in the 70's "The Walton's". Wishing you well girl, looking forward to your next Vlogmas 💖🎄🎅🎄💖
Love watching The 2Orchids and specially the recipes you ladies make. 😋 Your grandchildren are so cute! And your haircut looks really cute! Thank you for sharing Vlogmas with all of us 🎄💕

Favorite holiday movies are "While You Were Sleeping" with Sandra Bullock Bill Pullman, Peter Gallagher, Peter Boyle, and "Home For The Holidays" with Holly Hunter, Dylan McDermott, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, and Charles Durning.

I watch every year because they put me in the Christmas spirit and have variety!
