But yeah, okay, let's get into this Christmas vlog Okay, you guys so the other day me and Joel Brawl Walmart and I didn't even like plan to get a Christmas drink So I obviously wanted to do it for the video, but we were there and I was just like, you know what? I have to snatch this one. It's like the perfect size It has a snow on it and it's like recently priced So I was like, you know what Joel? Let's just snatch it up because right now it's November 8th Some people might think this is too early to decorate for Christmas But in my eyes, I see like November and December as the holiday season So I just think of it as if I set up my tree and know in December Then I'm kind of like wasting all of November because in November I try to get myself excited for Christmas because if you just celebrate it personally like if I just celebrated it in December I'd be like holy shit. It just goes way too fast and I love the holiday season So I like to extend it as much as I can So anyways, that's why I like decorating in November because we just love Christmas And I've just been really in the vibe like this year It already feels Christmas because we had our first snowfall. It was like a tiny snowfall, but it snowed twice now Which is crazy, but I've just been in the Christmas mood. It's freezing outside. The weather is nice Yeah, anyways, we're setting up a Christmas tree This is the tree if you guys are curious. It's their Whatever this one is. I'll try to link it down below if I can find it. Yeah, anyways Currently at my goals because we are going to get ornaments for a Christmas tree As you guys saw we already set up the Christmas tree and it's been up for a while now We just haven't decorated yet because I kind of wanted to wait a little bit because I wanted to film it I want to dole to come so this is just like when it works. It's currently November 25 But we just wanted to put up the tree right away because that's just a vibe I looked at we looked at Walmart the other day just quickly while we were there to see if they had any ornaments and stuff But they didn't have any good ornaments and we're just like very disappointed with them They were just like Look kind of cheap looking and they just like didn't match the vibe that we wanted So I'm like where else can we go because we don't have target here So we pulled up to Michaels because I feel like this is gonna be our best bet and I always forget about Michaels like for decorations I always just like automatically think of like Walmart because that's just like where I always go But then I'm like holy shit. I feel like Michaels is gonna have such good stuff because it's literally like a craft store Like that's what they sell and I feel like if we don't find anything here. I just don't know where else to go There's like winners at home since but they don't they always have like very random things. It's not like they sell like Five of like everything is just like random sporadic things So I'm hoping we get lucky here and find like decorations that we really like But pressures on because we're gonna be to keeping these decorations for like years to come Well, what would be a bigger tree? Well, yeah, but I mean like these ornaments like we're not gonna throw them out next day Like we're always gonna have them until we don't like who knows we might have them for the next 10 years And like yeah, we might get bigger trees and stuff like when we get a house But like we're probably gonna have them for like a long time So I don't want to like I want to do it right and get like good nice decorations So we're hoping that they have good stuff here because if they don't then I literally Don't really know where else to look honestly I mean, I guess there's always that home store, but I feel like they won't have anything. Anyways, wish us luck We are in Michaels right now and there's nothing like there's stuff, but there's no ornaments everything is like 60% off like on sale and We're really confused because we're like was our sale before like a blowout sale before we came and Everybody like ram sacks ram sack everything that there's no ornaments last year when I came But there was literally so much selection like for ornaments like really nice ornaments and stuff But there's literally nothing like I'm just genuinely confused Because last year there was so much They must have had this huge blowout sale and everything is just gone now because everything is on sale I don't know if it's black Friday today, but like that. Yeah, but it's black Friday today though Like we're we're not like late. It's not like everybody came in the morning and round sack this place You know, but it looks like ran through like there's nothing here It's like there's just like random things. It does make sense. I was on sale, but at the same time It's like they should have stock like I'm kind of confused because it's like end of November's and this win like Like you shouldn't I'm just confused usually Christmas stuff goes on sale after Christmas. Anyways, I guess this was a fail I was really I thought that they're gonna have so much here Where do we go now? I don't know too. I don't know where to go now Disappointed. Oh god, that just that's I didn't even touch it. I literally just felt Holly jolly this is like all they have so our next stop is the store called Jisk bed bath and home because There's nothing at Michael's so we're gonna try here and then if not then we're trying a different Walmart That is like not the one next to our house close to our house So hopefully we find stuff here so that this could be our last stop, but we will see Okay, this is our last and final stop Canadian Tire because there wasn't anything at the Jisk like literally the ornaments are so ugly and just like There was selection, but it was ugly So now we're at the Canadian Tire and I'm very hopeful because I saw their ads online and they looked like they'd get ornaments So we'll see if it's catfishing or not Okay, it looks like there's actually selection in here Like they actually have ornaments like everything Okay, the entire is actually winning now. Okay guys. I think that we picked out. I'll show you guys and we're home Oh Hey, the entire had the best election of everywhere we went it was actually crazy like I was expecting to get more But I feel like we just don't have target here targets the best and it sucks that we don't have it here What's whatever I guess but it still sucks because like when I think of like Chris decoration shopping I just think target even though I don't even live in the States. I just think target We used to have target here though until I went bankrupt and then they left anyways Okay, so we're doing like a white snow theme So these are the bulbs that we got and they have like here like you can see like little snowflakes in them How cute is this? I feel like that this is just gonna make the tree look super Pinteresty and just like white and nice So we got that and then we got this snowflake tree skirt and it's like really fuzzy So I think that this like really just ties into the whole ornament theme That's really cute And then this is like my favorite thing the tree topper. Are you kidding me? It's like I don't you can tell but it's like fabric material. It's like, you know what I mean and this ties in to the whole snowflake things the snow whole snow theme and then Last thing we got is just I don't know if I'm actually gonna use this I just got it in case you want to add a little extra something to the tree It's this like leaf garland that what I feel like would look super pretty. We'll see not sure if I'm gonna use this So maybe yeah, that's a little haul I feel like everything is gonna just look super sleek and white and nice and then I also still want to like go out And buy some nice Christmas candles because I don't have any so we'll do that soon Like a red or green one to bring some color into it But I definitely want the tree to be like nice and sleek and like snow things because I feel like that's so cute But yeah, we're gonna decorate probably tonight. We're going to do the decorating right now I just lit the candles that one is unlighting but you got the gist and Oh my god, it actually looks so pretty in the camera. What the hell look at it, but yeah We just took out the decorations. We're gonna decorate it. I'm just gonna do a little time-lapse for you guys, so Be cute and I'm gonna make a tiktok too. So go follow me on tiktok because I'm gonna do vlogmas on tiktok So I'm gonna be vlogging or doing like a montage of my day every day on there. So go watch So this is how the tree turned out I'm actually obsessed with it I just love how it's a snow theme and the snowflake and then the snowflakes down here I think that it's so freaking cute and just like everything just looks so cute I'm excited to collect like memorabilia ornaments if that makes sense since me and Joel this is our first year moving out We're definitely gonna get like an ornament to represent that. I'm gonna go get one made But I feel like over time we'll just collect like Ornaments that mean stuff to us, you know what I mean? But for now, this is just you know your regular aesthetic ornaments But over time I definitely want to have like a lot of memorabilia ornaments on the tree But we will collect those over time. So yeah, I'm obsessed with it. What is up you guys? I just wanted to come on here and literally show you guys my new Christmas pajamas that I got today at the mall So I actually bought these and then I got a matching pair of pants for Joel so we can be twinning This is kind of like a Christmas tradition that me and my family do every year is get matching Christmas pajamas altogether But I also just got me and Joel a pair on these are different ones It's just like a fun thing that you can do with your partner with your friends with your family Like around Christmas time that just elevates the mood like it's so cute if you get pajamas on you can like Do gingerbread houses make cookies watch a movie? I just love it like just like being in a pair matching Christmas pajamas just makes me so happy when I saw these today I got them from forever 21 by the way When I saw them I was so happy and like these are just the cutest things ever and I I've never gotten like a pattern Like this before but I am love also I broke my nail you guys This one I broke this nail and it's so disgusting, but I need to go get them done So stay tuned it's not gonna be in this vlog But stay tuned for an upcoming vlog because I'm gonna go I need to find some Christmas nail and spongebob my nails done Because they're so corn out and disgusting But that's what I get for being lazy about it But anyways, I just wanted to literally come on here and show you guys our new pajamas because they're so cute Go follow me on tiktok. I just posted a tiktok in them with Joel So go follow me on there and also go follow me on Instagram if you're not already like what are you doing? But anyways? Okay, so I currently I'm at Dalarama because I want to get those you know like those gingerbread molds Like they have Christmas molds or whatever. I want to find some gingerbread men and women Because I bought this Pillsbury gingerbread dough and so I want to make you Christmas cookies tonight I did it last year and it was so much fun. So it makes it easy just having the pre-made dough I'm pretty sure last year I like made dough from scratch, but that was like a lot of work So I rather I just saw the Pillsbury one and I'm like, you know what? I'm just gonna get this because it's really good. So I'm gonna do that and then make cutie little gingerbread man It's a little Christmas activity. I'm so excited. Yeah, let's go in and see what they have Hopefully they have them because it's Dalarama, so they should Okay, it also snowed you guys We also had a huge downpour of snow yesterday. It literally pretty much mostly melted There's like some spots of snow in areas, but like it basically melted. There was like so much snow last night It was a literal like snowstorm Our power went out and everything, but we're fine now and it was sunny this morning So it kind of melted most of it, but it just like so baby. It feels like Christmas. I love it Okay, guys, I just got back from the dollar store and I got this gingerbread molds And then I also couldn't resist picking up these little cute Christmas dishcloths How cute just adds a little more of a Christmas vibe in here And then I went to the grocery store and then I bought this cookie icing for the so I could do the little gingerbread men thingy midgings But yeah, that's a cute little Christmas. Hello. It is cookie time. We're gonna make the gingerbread cookies Yeah, I'm just gonna use the Pillsbury and I actually have a roller So we're gonna use that. I don't know where it is So we're gonna have to find it because I bought a roller when we were moving in And I'm like, I'm just gonna buy this for whenever I need it and now's the time eight months later It's a time when I need a roller and we're actually gonna use it This is actually a cute roller I got it from my cat Also, I'm keeping my toucan because my hair is so like disgustingly greasy right now So not taking you to golf. This is the gingerbread mix that I bought And Where are the cookies? And then here are the gingerbread men and then the icing but I'm gonna start preheating the oven now because This oven takes so damn long to preheat like my one at home I feel like it's huge But it preheats like really fast in this oven. I'm telling you it takes like years to preheat Oh, this is the gingerbread girl. What the heck that is the cutest thing. They didn't have those molds at the dollar store I got so lucky though because I couldn't find them and then I was like, you know what? I was about to leave and then there's this employee that came and I'm like, hey Just wondering if he does have cookie cutters. She's like, oh my god Yeah, we do but they're in a box because they were like a mulling a bunch of Christmas stuff She hears the box like you can get whatever you want in the box So they have them in the box they were hidden. So I'm like, thank God I asked or else I would have had to go to check the different dollar store. Okay preheat oven two three Fifty cut with cookie cutters. So I gotta cut it in half Roll it in a ball and then roll out and then do the cookie cutters fourth inch a quarter inch thickness That's like literally like that maybe So I just put parchment paper down on the island because I don't really want to roll it straight on the island It's just because I don't know. I feel like this is more sanitary So I'm just gonna use parchment paper and also I don't have to put flour down this way. So it's perfect But yeah, we're gonna get rolling. I just preheated the oven. So Here are how the gingerbread turned out, this is just extra dough, but it only made two four six seven I did these two pretty thick though, but whatever. It's fine. They'll cook fine. Um, yeah, and I'm just gonna pop them in the oven You guys they literally doubled in size. I'm actually dying because there's such chubby gingerbread men now I'm dying. This is so cute. Anyways, I'm gonna decorate them now. I will give you guys like a time-lapse But yeah, a lot of surface area to decorate now since they literally look with this one. It's mushed into the pan So cute anyways, okay, let's decorate them This is how they turned out. I'm so obsessed. They're so fucking cute I did a little girl and a boy and then yeah, they're so freaking adorable I'm in love with them and I don't even want to eat them because they're so cute But I'm eating this little cookie here. That was just the extra dough. But anyways, how freaking cute I'm obsessed This is such a fun thing to do you guys if you have Friends over or something or you just want to do by yourself while watching a movie so much fun Literally just go with the Pillsbury dough. It's so easy and then yeah It's such an easy fun thing to do and you can even like get candies and like put them on too If you really want to go crazy with it Okay, so to end this Christmas vlog, we are going to watch the Grinch My favorite version of the Grinch is the cartoon one I do love the original but the cartoon one just hits different for me like I love it Unfortunately, it's not on Netflix anymore.
