J: All right, Tilly. Got to take your pyjamas off.
J: Whayy.
C: Come, wife. Let's open our presents!
J: OK, fine.
J: Oh, are you going to come and sit on my lap?
Come on, then.
Silly billy.
J: Hi! C: Helloo.
J: Happy Sunday morning.
I hope you're having a nice, relaxing day.
C: We've already got the fire going.
I don't know why, because we are having to go out in a minute, but I just really, really darning
- darning? Is that even a word? -
J: Darning is a word, yes. Like darning socks.
C: Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that. J: It's to sew up a hole.
C: No, I just mean, like--
I want to say like, "I bloody love a fire," but I didn't want to say "bloody."
I think you can say "bloody."
J: I think "bloody" is allowed. C: OK. I bloody love a fire!
J: We're going to go out to lunch to Claudia's godmother's.
C: Yeah.
C: It's a family tradition
to have a meet up for an annual Christmas lunch.
J: Well, before we go out, we thought that we would open a present!
J: Exciting! (It's not for you.)
It's not for you two.
J: You can go back to sleeping. C: She immediately was like, "Oh."
J: They both immediately thought, "It's for me!"
J: It's not for you. Let me just--you're just showing my petticoat to the world. OK.
Right, well
Yes, this present, super excitingly,
is from Allie and Sam, [both] ooo.
J: Now, Allie and Sam are two lovely Canadian girls that we've been following on Instagram for quite a while.
C: Yeah. Their photos are really lovely. Especially when they went to, where was it? California.
The sun--I was like, "Aw, damnit, why don't we have nice sunshine like they have?"
J: We also sent Allie and Sam a present
And they put a video up on their channel, which you can go and check out.
I'm gonna put a link down in the description
so you can go and see what we gave them.
Still not for you.
J: Let's open. C: Ooo.
J: Da-da! "Jessica and Claudia"
C: That is our name. Smells nice. Maybe they spritzed it with their perfume.
J: This whole parcel--this whole parcel smells delightful. C: Oh, more likely there are scented goods
C: in there than they had spritzed it with their perfume. I don't know why...!
C: "Let's spray it with our perfume!"
J: Because we're Victorian pen pals? C: We sprayed our card
C: to them with our perfume.
C: (We didn't really.)
C: Aww! Baubles! OK, Walter, you can have that.
J: OK, so something that's for Walter.
C: Do you wanna read it?
J: "Hello, ladies. Happy Holidays. Hope you're enjoying the season so far.
(Heart) Enjoy your present.
Keep up the amazing work. XO Lots of love, Allie and Sam (and Lily)
Lily says hi to Walter and Tilly"
C: "Heart, paw" J: Aww.
J: Yeah. And there's a Christmas tree. C: Look! They did the same as me!
C: There are four--I drew a - I mean, Tilly and Walter pawed the card -
J: Glad we cleared that one up.
C: Walter, that's--that's not for you.
C: No.
C: Drum roll with...tissue paper.
C: This is--can you imagine how long it takes us to open our Christmas presents on actual Christmas Day?
J: Oh, get your nose off! Give. Give! Give, give.
J: It's for us. OK.
J: God, it really does smell absolutely delightful.
J: First one. Is this the nice smelly thing?
J: Smell it. C: I am the sniffer. Obviously.

C: You're as British as they come, darling.
J: It's mine!
[Laughing]
J: Walter, you don't like tea! We drink tea. C: No, he likes the candy cane.
C: "This creamy mint black tea is strewn with candy cane bits
and snowflake sprinkles"
J: Ohh! C: Thank you very much.
J: That's really cool, Christmassy tea.
J: OK, is this the nice smelly gift?
J: Maybe.
C: Ohh, what's this?!
J: Oh, it's super Canadian!
J: It's a maple scented hand-made natural soy wax candle!
J: And it's also written in French, so you know it's real Canadian.

J: Ohh!
J: You guys, well done.
Well done.
J: Tilly! Are you going to try and open it?
J: Still not for you guys. C: What's this next one?
[Both] Whoa!
C: Bad Mouth Soap! Well, that's for me. J: "Soap for filthy people"
C: That's for me for saying "bloody" earlier on.
C: "Soap for filthy people"
C: What are you implying, Allie and Sam?
J: Oh! With shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, and lard.
J: That does smell rather darn good. C: Mmm.
J: You sneaky!
Mwah.
Next thing. Ooo!
J: Ooo! C: What's that?
C: Ooo. J: It's chocolate.
J: Oh, it's a chocolate lobster! C: Oh, yeah! Very Canadian.
J: Do you wanna be my lobster?
J: ...You missed that reference, but fine.
C: Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.
C: Walter would want it.

C: No.

C: Lovely.
J: Aww, look what the final thing is!
C: Aww. Darning.
J: Embroidery

C: Well, no. I'm a modern girl.
C: Can you not tell from my bomber--my velvet bomber jacket?
J: I love it. C: To be fair, this is actually Jessica's.
C: You might have seen it in...in her Instagram photos...
C: But, being lesbians, we can share clothes. J: Yay!
C: Actually, I think men and women share clothes. J: We don't, though, but yay!
C: Yeah, anyway...
J: This is beautiful! C: Yeah!
J: That's so incredibly gorgeous, I'm going to hang that up.
C: That's lovely. Aw. J: Aww.
