[Deck the Halls rock instrumental]
J: Merry Christmas. C: Merry Christmas.
C: I love you. J: I love you, too.
C: Merry Christmas, little one. J: Merry Christmas, Tilly!
J: Hii.
J: I hope you're having an absolutely wonderful Christmas Day.
C: Yes, [sing-song voice] Merry Christmaaaas.
J: We Wish You A Merry Christmas C: Yeah, I was trying to think of a Christmas song, like...
and they've been playing like every day in every shop for the last twenty-five--probably more like
J: 30 days, and you can't remember a single one. C: Way more than that.
C: Probably since the beginning of November.
J: It's going well. C: And all I came up with was, "Merry Christmaaaas!"
J: OK!
J: So, this is our very last Vlogmas video for 2017.
C: Aw. J: It's a bit sad. I feel really tired, but it's a bit sad.
C: I'm sure you're not that sad. J: I'm ready for a break!
J: Holiday! [?]
[?]
J: Unless, of course, I hit 200K within the next week. C: Wow!
J: In which case, I'll do something. Maybe a live stream.
J: I'm not sure. But that's my--I really want to do that by the end of year.
J: That is my goal, so please... C: You did say in January when I think you had about 2000 subscribers.
C: You were like, "I wanna make...200,000 by the end of the year!"
C: And our friends were like, "You know that's--" J: "Dial it back."
C: They were like, "You know that's like a thousand percent?"
C: Is that right? A big job, basically.
C: And everyone was like, "Yeah, just, you know..."
J: "Whatever, Jessica, whatever." C: "Be hopeful and optimistic, as you always are."
C: And then it was like what?!
J: Almost! Almost, so close. You guys, please, share my videos with your friends.
Tell your friends about me. Tell strangers. I just...[Jokingly] I just wanna make it, guys.
I just have a goal. I just like having a goal.
J: But this video - actually, [?] - we're going to open our stockings!
J: Yeah! See what Santa left us. C: And the dogs are gonna open their stockings.
J: And I'm gonna--we're gonna open stuff from our PO Box!
C: Ooo, yeah, I'm excited about that. J: She's really excited.
J: And you have to keep watching to the very end, where we're going to announce the winner of the give-away.
C: So, all in all... Yeah! J: Good morning!
C: We haven't even had breakfast yet.
C: Most of my family aren't even up. I mean, I've seen my dad briefly.
J: Yes, we're at Claud's dad's, if you're wondering why we have a different Christmas tree behind us.
J: It has silver baubles on, so clearly it's not ours.
C: I love how we both turned around to confirm that.
J: That's what happens. OK, get the stockings!
C: OK, where we starting?
J: "Claudia!"
C: OK!
J: What's it gonna be? Ooh!
C: It's squishy. J: Squishy.
J: And wrapping paper for Walter.
C: It's a sponge! J: Yes!
J: Probably because Santa knows that you have eczema.
J: So you need a special sponge. C: I know, I do.
C: Yeah, one side's nice and soft, and one side's like an exfoliating sponge.
C: So that'll be nice, because I need to exfoliate the back of my legs and my back.
J: Yeah, they don't need to know how you bathe.
J: I'm gonna start with the biggest one in my stocking. C: You're next. OK.
Look at the size of that, that's really good.
And I think Santa, by the way, has improved
his wrapping skills since last year.
C: Learnt from a pro. His elves taught him. J: Good job, Santa.
J: His really hot elves.
J: Oo, oo, oo!
J: Why, it's a woodcraft construction kit!
C: Yeah. 'Cause you love that kind of stuff.
J: I really do. I really, really, really do. C: We can do it later. Or tomorrow.
J: Ooo, yeah!
J: It's like a giant jigsaw.
J: Aww, so good. C: And you have to be over eight-years-old, so I thought that was appropriate for you.
J: Thanks.
J: Oooo! What a nicely wrapped present.
C: What is this?
J: It's got a nice ribbon on it.
J: I don't know if the dogs even need stockings. I mean, they seem to be having a great time.
J: Keep shaking!
C: [Excited noises] J: No, that's my one bit of tissue paper that's still in tact; I need that for later.
C: Yeah! You left the price on, Santa!
J: Santa's sorry.
C: These are nice. J: Santa must know that you're going on holiday.
C: Yeah. I needed some sunglasses, because I left my sunglasses.
I don't know where I left them. That's the whole point - they're lost.
C: I lost my sunglasses. J: Yeah.
C: If I knew where I'd left them, I could go retrieve them.
J: Hello.
J: That's right. Looking sexy. Turn to the side.
J: Ooo, there are loads of things in here.
Rather exciting.
[Excited noises] No added sugar white chocolate!
C: Mmhm J: For the person who hates chocolate
but likes solid fat.
J: Ah, yes, and it has no sugar. Mine.
C: That'll be nice, because me and my family have been treating ourselves to little truffles and
you know, things like that, and then you can't have any -
C: now you can be like, "I'll just have a bit of my white chocolate." J: "I'll just have some of my chocolate."
J: Yes. Chocolate.
C: [Tutting] We haven't even had breakfast yet.
C: Ooo, what's in the sack?
C: Oh, it's already unwrapped itself.
C: I think it's a book!
J: Oh, my goodness, could it be? C: I needed a book
C: for my holiday. Thanks for all the suggestions, everybody who gave them.
C: There's a lot of stuff on there.
J: Claudia will have the next decade to read through the suggestions
J: given on our Favourites video. C: Yeah.
C: There might not be any vlogs or videos in Malaysia because I just won't put the books down.
C: I won't pick up a camera. J: She'll just be reading.
J: It'll just be me filming, so it'll be all shaky and terrible.
C: [Pleased noises]
J: And look who's on the back! C: This is awesome!
J: Her royal hotness herself.
C: "Dark, disturbing, compulsively readable"
C: "Krysten Ritter, Bonfire: 'Nothing burns as bright as the truth.'"
J: It's a book written by one of our favourite people.
J: I wanna read that after you, please. C: Yeah.
J: Santa's got good taste. C: That's what the best presents are: "I bought you this! Can I have it back?"
J: Yeah, good job, whoever suggested that.
C: Sorry, that's my exciting...
C: Jessica pointed out - I never realised until I started filming - that I swing my arms around a lot.
J: Yeah, yeah, you really do. C: When I'm a bit angry or frustrated, I swing them this way.
J: You know that thing where you wonder why there are some people
who can eat whatever they want, and they never work out, but they stay really thin?
It's because they are constantly moving!
C: Yep. I'm doing like my own aerobics
C: in life, every day. J: She's basically working out all day, every day.
J: Yeah. Woah!
C: Woah!
J: As presents go, I'm not sure how I feel about this one.
J: Charcoal pore strips!
C: Santa's saying, "Clean your nose!"
J: Thanks, Santa.
C: No. I really like these. I wanna do them.
J: We'll do them together later. C: They're really satisfying.
J: Let's both tear the [?] off our faces. C: When you pull them off and you can see all the bits.
J: Yeah, that's true. I'll give you that, I'll give you that.
J: My, I wonder if anyone can guess what this is.
C: I think this might--I know what this is
because if you didn't get me this
C: at Christmas... J: You'd be sad.
C: I'd be like, "What?!"
J: Also, I kind of got you the [?]
["Revealing" noises]
J: And this is the extra big one.
J: With all the types.
C: Ohh! I like them.
C: Yummy. Thank you. J: Yeah! Santa knows what you're after.
C: [Quietly] What is it?
J: Oo! It feels kind of--it's very light.
J: Very kind of empty-ish. Hello again, Walter!
J: Do you come back for every present thinking, "Oh, it's for me"?
C: Do you recognise that? J: I think...I think Santa gave this to me last year
J: but I just forgot about it.
C: Yeah, but it wasn't Santa being silly, thinking, "I'll get the same present again!"
C: It was--this is unopened. J: It's literally the same present Santa got me last year.
C: This tag has not been broken.
C: Appreciate your gift.
C: Walter can't resist the sight. He's like, "Unwrapping stuff?" J: You're back!
C: "Oh, my God!"
C: Aw, yeah!
J: Wow! C: I needed one of these.
J: It's a hairbrush! C: For the one time a week I brush my hair.
J: It works, it works. To be fair. C: Yeah!
J: Your hair's shiny... C: Thanks, that's -
J: It's gorgeous C: "Shiny. Greasy!"
J: No, but it's not, though!
J: Because it's all like glossy, and yet it still has body.
C: Thanks. J: And oomph.
J: Basically, you just have really good genes. C: It gets frizzy if I wash it too much.
C: And it's meant to be better for your hair not to brush it every day, because if you brush it every day,
it gets more greasy.
J: Girl's got a point. C: It pays to be a little bit lazy and dirty.
J: Yeah. That's what we'll be telling the kids. C: That's the motto of this video.
J: Tilly?
J: What are you doing, honey?
C: Is that how you have to open stockings now? J: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a ninja.
J: I'm a stocking-opening ninja. C: OK.
J: Why can't I say "ninja" properly? Oh, no, I can't open it without tearing!
J: It's from Mr Simms' Olde Sweet Shoppe
J: Yeah! C: Oh, no, now you've just teared the bag, darling.
J: I tore it. I'm sorry.
C: You'll just have to eat them all at once. Challenge! J: What a shame.
C: Go! You've got five seconds!
J: Yeah, they're sugar-free. I love these ones. They're [?] and they're actually jelly-like.
J: Like an old-fashioned jelly.
J: They're really, really good. C: Like crystallised sugar on the outside, but not sugar.
['Ninja' noises]
C: We're so easily amused by ourselves.
J: Yes, but thankfully other people are, too. C: Oh, yeah, that's true.
C: It's so nice, YouTube. It's proven that we're not complete, like...
C: weirdos. J: No, honey, I think we are.
J: It's just other people find it funny. C: OK.
C: [American accent] Some Louisiana Hot Sauce!
J: Ohh, yeah. C: Dunno what accent that was
C: [With accent] Hot peppers! Hot! It's real hot!
C: Are you saying something about me? Is this...? J: Yeah, you know I am.
J: Yeah, that's right.
J: Yeah!
J: Yeah, yeah, yeah
J: You go, sexy girl.
C: I was just trying to do that thing.
C: Oh no, that's so embarrassing.
J: No, you did a ['whipped' sound] at the same time as [flame extinguish noise].
C: As a "too hot to touch" and a "I'm whipping hot."
J: Oo! This one's really heavy.
J: I see Santa had issues with
wrapping a round thing, but Santa did a good try.
J: Wow!
C: It's glittery.
J: It's so glittery!
J: Oh, my God. "Face Scrub Glowing Rose Hip Oil"
J: I think I like--your dad's looking through the window. C: I know! He's like, "What are you doing in there?!"
C: There's only one thing left in my stocking. J: Ooo, what could it be?
C: Traditional...clementine!
C: You don't even like these, Walter.
C: What about you, what have you got in yours?
J: There should also be a pound coin at the bottom of your stocking,
but unfortunately Santa only had a £2 coin
J: and no one would trade with Santa for two £1 coins. C: He was too stingy to just give me the £2 instead.
J: But Santa didn't have another £2 coin, just the one £2 coin, but no one would share.
J: Oh!
C: Some essentials. J: Santa!
J: My goodness. C: [Singing] Santa, baby...
J: It's some big pants! C: Some paaants!
J: And they're from the Marilyn Monroe collection, which is my favourite pants-wear.
J: Because they're so comfy, and yet they look nice. C: And they're kind of vintage-y.
[Very quiet generic singing]
J: Thank you for that performance. That was beautiful. C: She's been rehearsing, like...
J: All year, basically. C: Well, all of December.
[Repeats quiet generic singing]
C: Well done, darling. J: Yep, well done. Good job, Tills. Well done.
J: Well done.
J: Tradition! C: [?]
J: Do let us know in the comments if you've got any suggestions for Tilly dances for next year.
C: Remember, there's only certain things that she can do.
C: She's very good at the (resumes quiet generic song).
C: And doing an absent-minded face.
J: I mean, if you want character in the face, that might be a bit hard.
J: [?] too much expression.
C: When she jumps up at the back door, though, it's like.
C: We should definitely film that one day.
[Impersonating Tilly]
J: She definitely smiles when she does that; it's a bit strange.
C: OK, it doesn't make sense when we try and do an impression of it, because you've never actually seen it;
we need to film it and insert that at some point -
we can't today because we're not at our own house, but, yeah.
C: Anyway! J: Or spirit fingers. She can't do that, either.
J: Most important question, obviously:
is who is going first?
C: What my sister said was, "Whose is whose? One's got a bigger one."
J: Well, I think the bigger one is Walter's, because he's older.
C: I don't know. No, I think it's just--I don't think it's anything to do with age or favouritism. It's just...
C: We just had these two stockings, OK, guys?!
C: You get this one. You get--this one is filled to the brim.
C: This one is only filled up to here, so, you know.
C: Same, same. J: Yeah. But this one also is cuter.
J: That's pretty cute. This is a more refined look. C: This is a dog-specific one.
C: Oh, and yeah,
C: Cuter like Tilly and more refined like Walter. Anyway.
J: OK.
C: Where is she? J: Oh, that's attached.
J: Tilly! Where have you gone?
J: Tilly? All right, in that case, this one's for Walter, because he's here.
J: Oo, Walter.
J: What's this?!
J: Walter, it's for you!
J: Ooo, do you wanna tear it open with me?
J: Do you wanna tear it open?
J: Whey! Look!
J: It's the candy cane!
J: That came in the Pawsome box that you saw in our November Favourites
[Noises of excited anticipation directed at Walter]
J: What's in here?!
J: Ooo.
J: Oooh!
J: It's your favourite! Chewy Chicken Dumbbells!
J: Is it a food item? Is it?!
J: Is it?!
J: No, it's some shampoo. C: Ohhh.
[Walter barks] [Jessica screams]
[Both laughing]
C: He wants that one.
J: Do you want this, Walter? C: He's like, "That's mine!"
J: Oh, he's gone. [Both laughing]
J: [Unwrapping off-screen] Ooo, what's this?
J: Oh, Tilly, it's a fishy for you!
J: Oh, it's a fishy! [Claudia throws fish toy] [Both] Whoosh!
C: It's a penguin! [Jessica squeaks toy]
J: It's a penguin! It's for you!
J: Here you go, Tilly.
J: Good girl. C: She can't remember Christmas, I don't think.
C: She's like, "What is going on, why are you giving me all this stuff?"
C: Walter's like, "Yeah, I know the drill." J: "This happens every year."
[Claudia squeaks and throws toy] J: Wow!
C: Aww, look. OK. J: Aww, good girl, Tills. It's all right.
J: OK, next.
J: Oooo, what's this?
[Toy squeaks off-screen]
J: This is so cool, I love this. It's a rice cake.
C: Is it? Or is it made out of [?]?
C: Don't think it's actually made out of rice. J: Oh, yeah, beef hide.
C: Yeah. J: Beef hide and rice starch.
J: Oooh.
C: That's quite big. They can maybe have a little bit of arm. J: Shall we open it up?
J: And get a little bit out? C: Yeah.
J: Attempting to open. OK. OK. I'm doing it.
C: Can you break a bit off? Maybe it's something that you can't break.
C: Maybe you've gotta chew it for hours and hours.
C: This is why you need dog's teeth to--oh, my God, it's absolutely solid. J: It's so solid! It's so solid.
C: Good girl. You want one? J: Aww, lovely.
J: Now that we've opened our stockings and the dogs have opened their stockings,
J: let's move onto the gifts that you guys have sent us from our PO Box! C: Oh, I'm really excited about this.
J: We had some drama, though, getting this PO Box. C: Oh, God.
J: Royal Fail
C: That's a good--good one! J: Yeah, thank you.
J: They charged me three times for the same PO Box
and then refused to give me the PO Box because they said that I'd actually purchased it last year.
J: I was like, "Did I, though? Did I?" C: And then you paid the extra for delivery service
C: so it should get delivered to our personal home address
and yet they were like, "No, you've only got the collection service."
I was like, "Well, no, we don't, because we don't even..."
J: But you took my money. C: Anyway!
C: Went to the Post Office and there was a SACK waiting for us.
J: Yeah, we just went in the vague hope that something might be there.
C: We thought there might be, like, a couple of letters...
J: Hello!
C: This has come from San Marcos, California.
C: And it's from...Christine.
J: Woah. This is from a place called Chicka...[struggles with pronunciation]mauga - in America.
C: OK. From Emily. J: [Re-attempts pronunciation]
C: OK, wait, let's go. J: Chickamauga? Woah.
C: It's got a really cute little bunny sticker on the back.
J: Emily - look, look.
C: Oh, nice. J: You go, Emily.
C: They should be friends, these guys. They have similar styles.
J: Aww, thank you, Christine!
J: Aw, I love that card, that's really lovely.
C: Yeah, it's just your style, isn't it? J: That's the most old-fashioned, beautiful Christmas card.
C: Yeah. Thank you. J: Fabulous!
J: Emily has sent us a very nice letter.
J: That I'm going to sit down and read later. Thank you, Emily.
J: Oo, and she has sent us something else.
J: Awww.
J: Look, she made us some beautiful origami. C: Cute! That's really nice.
J: That is absolutely gorgeous, Emily.
J: OK, this one is absolutely covered in glitter.
C: I love it.
J: This came from Marie Pierre in Canada.
C: Wow. Wow, I love all the glitter. J: Thank you. Thank you for also--[laughs]
C: Very Christmassy.
J: I love people who put glitter in their things. I really like it.
C: This is from...Sarah!
In--I think in Penryn, because she's like, "If you ever visit Penryn again..." so, you know...
J: Well, hey, Sarah. Maybe you bump into my dad occasionally.
C: Yeah, probably.
J: Or my parents. I mean, they both live there, but...
J: Aw, this one has a bichon on the front! C: Aw, cute.
J: Aw, I think it's their bichon as well.
Aww, "Kate, Alison, and Freya." [Both] Aww.
C: Bichons are the best. J: They're so cute. Bichon love!
C: This one's really great.
C: Look at it!
J: "Stages of tiredness." C: It says, "Degrees of tiredness:"
C: And then it goes through them, and then the last one is like,
"I have moved into another realm where everything is hilarious and I can't feel my own limbs, but that's fine."
"I'm a floating potato angel!"
C: That's pretty much how you feel... J: That's me on a Friday.
C: And it's been spritzed!
C: Nice! I recognise that smell, actually. J: Especially for you, in fact, it says.
J: "Especially for you." C: Yeah, "PS To Claudia, I spritzed the card just for you."
C: If you've seen the Allie and Sam give-away, you'll know why she did that.
C: And this is from Christina, from Manchester.
J: This one--oo!
J: Aw, look, this is a little home-made one!
C: That's sweet. J: It's the YouTube symbol, and then a rainbow.
J: And then little doggy paws. Very cute. C: Looks like the back of my laptop.
J: "For Jessica and Claudia"
J: It's upside-down. Oh!
J: Aww.
C: "Ray Jackson"
J: Beautiful. Thank you. I love the home-made ones. C: Well done. We love home-made things.
J: Love home-made ones.
J: "Greetings from snowy Switzerland."
J: Oooo.
C: Oh, yeah, we had a... [sneezes]
C: Sorry, it's just the thought of the mountains and the snow!
C: We also got one from...where is this from?
C: Finland! J: Whey!
C: Yes, I knew it was another Scandinavian country.
J: Finland, Switzerland... C: From...Julia.
J: Thank you very much!
J: Aw, this one's got a rabbit in!
J: "Our second foster rabbit. From Alison, Brent, and Tulip."
C: I like that. "Was I supposed to pose?"
J: Thank you very much. Adorable.
C: This is another home-made one. It's a card--well, it looks like a card,
and then you open it and it becomes a letter! I mean, that's quite ingenious.
J: That is definitely a good one.
C: This is from Liz.
C: This one ["ninja" noise] A big one.
C: And this is addressed to all of us,
and it is from Brownie [?] and Zoey, who are another spoonie lesbian couple.
J: Hi!
J: To the presents!
J: Ooo. This one's come from Glasgow.
J: What an amazing name.
C: What name?
[Repeating name]
C: [Says name] J: I know there's a nightclub called [name].
J: Pretty sure it says [name].
[Repeating name]
J: Oooo!
J: Oh, oh.
J: Wow!
C: There's load of things. This is very generous. J: This is amazing! Thank you so much.
J: And amazing wrapping paper, as well.
J: Would you like to open the card, my dear?
C: Yes.
C: Tilly's interested in this one. J: Oh!
J: Does it smell good, Tills?
J: Clearly it does.
C: Aw, that's a nice card. J: Aww.
C: "Merry Christmas." J: Merry Christmas to you, too.
C: And she's also written a lovely letter, with very neat, small handwriting.
J: Tilly's like, "This is definitely for me."
J: You really think it is, don't you, Tills?
J: You really think it's for you!
J: OK. Oh.
J: Oooo.
J: I don't think this is quite for you, though, Tilly.
C: No, I'll have to read the letter. "In this parcel, you will find...
hand-crocheted items for you both."
"There's a pair of wrist warmers and a matching hat for Claudia,
and a little storage basket for Jessica, as I felt the hat might ruin your hair."
J: Ah! She knows me!
C: Yeah, no one minds about my hair.
C: You know, whatever.
J: Wait, I'm getting the wrist warmers. C: I don't mind about my hair.
C: This is cute. J: This is so cute!
C: "Hopefully you like the colours and the wrist warmers, and they just fit."
C: "If they don't, tweet me or email me, and I'll see if I can make you something that does fit."
C: Aww.
C: Oh, look, they're from 100% acrylic and yarn, and your...
J: Ooo, it's my box! C: They're from 100% acrylic and cotton,
C: because obviously we're both allergic to wool, so that's very thoughtful.
J: That's so thoughtful. Look, I have a box!
C: It's a basket. J: Well, it's a... [distracted by Claudia's singing]
J: That's so ador--
J: I'm now imagining it as a handbag for Tilly!
C: OK, that's not where I was going.
J: And here are your wrist warmers.
J: Oh, look at the little thumb bits. C: Aw, cute!
J: You need that, you get cold hands.
C: Lovely. Thank you very much. J: Thank you very much.
J: Woah!
C: Oh, that's quite clever. I guess because they can then put Amazon--
C: They can order it from Amazon and put the delivery address on. J: Yeah!
J: Well...who knew? Clever thinking.
J: Woah, what's this?
J: Oooo.
J: It comes in a little bag?
J: That's not...information. Thought that was information, but it's not.
Both: [Noises of intrigue and appreciation]
J: Look, it has a gift card! C: Glittery.
J: This is a really cool bag. I feel like I'm going to keep shoes in this.
J: And the card says...
J: "Watched Vlogmas Day #14 and thought you could use this."
"I also want to thank" - wait, I think I know what this is -
"I also want to thank you for the joy your videos bring me."
"Seeing you and Claudia in a beautiful relationship is heartwarming for a young, shy lesbian."
"Merry Christmas - Victoria"
J: Thank you, Victoria. C: What day was #14?
J: You'll see in a minute!
C: Is it laptop day?
J: You'll see!
C: Is it the bad day? J: I think I can guess what this is!
J: Again, love that bag.
J: Amazon, Amazon.
J: And of course, it is...
C: Ah, amazing!
J: The mug that won't fall over. C: That's so cool.
C: How does that work?
J: You can tip it. C: "Won't fall over when you bump it."
J: Woah! C: Well, that's a perfect--why didn't I think of that?
C: Good job. J: Oh, my God, look. I love it!
J: The picture on the side is actually someone spilling stuff on their laptop. C: "Save your stuff!"
C: Yes. Thank you. J: She knew. She knew what I needed.
C: There's only so many laptops we can go through and get fixed.
J: Sorry.
J: Oh, wow, OK. This one's from Germany.
J: It's light but also a box.
J: That's confusing. C: And very well wrapped.
J: Wait, why am I doing this? I have scissors. C: I don't know.
J: She says, and continues to do it with her hands.
J: OK!
J: It's a-comin'. It's comin'.
J: [Strange noises of effort]
J: Voilà.
C: Ooo.
J: Ooo.
J: Let's see who this one is from. Tilly again thinks it's for her.
J: Ooo. Wow. OK. C: [Attempts pronunciation]
J: I'm guessing that's, "Merry Christmas." C: [Continues to attempt pronunciation]
C: Sorry. J: My father speaks German.
J: Ahh.
"The gift inside is second-hand. It decorated my Christmas tree for several years
and I think you could like it."
J: Ohh. C: Lovely!
J: Hello! So, first of all,
this is what happens when you do your hair without Lottabody and then you go for a walk in the rain.
Yeah, and secondly
we didn't realise, but the camera stopped filming.
Yeah, I didn't realise until I actually came to edit, and it's now the evening.
Good.
So, thank you very much to Lucy, Sophie and Angus, whose presents we opened thinking we were on camera
and filming, and we weren't,
and also thank you to Eloise, whose present we got mixed up with the other presents,
and then did open on camera.
C: OK... J: Well, we've been told, then.
J: "Dear Jessica, Claudia, and Clara,
First of all I'd like to express just how wonderful all three of you are."
She says, "Please find enclosed three beautiful mugs for three beautiful ladies."
That's so nice. "May you all have a magical Christmas filled with all the joy you deserve."
"Have a drink on me. - Eloise"
J: Oo, oh, and they're wrapped, as well!
J: Aww.
J: OK, they don't have names.
J: Just gonna open them all.
J: Awww, look.
J: "Noel" C: That's really nice.
C: Christmas mugs! J: Christmas mugs!

Thank you very much for that. And thank you everyone who sent cards and gifts;
it's just so kind and overwhelmingly wonderful of you.
Thank you so much. I've really enjoyed doing Vlogmas this year
and having all you guys to talk to
and I've really enjoyed your comments and your tweets
and...yeah, and mentioning that I got attached to the Christmas tree rather a lot.
It happens. It happens.
What can I say?
We also - because, clearly, it's one of those days -
forgot to pick a winner
for the give-away, which is ridiculous, because I've been talking about it for a month.
Over a month.
How could I forget?
But, with the help of the Random YouTube Comment Picker

[Announcing winner]
Well done, Sarah. I'm gonna send you a message to find out your address,
and there will be a wonderful parcel on its way to you very soon.
Yay!
Congratulations, Sarah.
And, again, my lovely people, I shall see you in the New Year.
In 2018.
Unless I hit 200K before then, which a) would be amazing
and b) I will definitely do something.
I don't know what. Something.
That would be so good. That would make my year.
That would.
Like my year hasn't been great enough already. It has. This year's amazing.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of the year. Mwah!
