Im Chinese and what Shane's dad did is exactly what my parents check (in books and online) and do on themselves when something is aching. For example, if you're coughing, you should press on the skin between your thumb and your index, about an inch in and it will make you stop. To pass a gallbladder stone, you need to press hard on the 4th toe of each foot. Feet, ears and hands are where there are the most amount of connections to the rest of the body, and if you press around and somewhere hurts more, keep pressing hard there because it means something is blocked somewhere.

Oh my goodness I’m dying laughing because the boys really thought they were going to be taking bites of the tree… except Landon. He’s a wise little owl 🦉

Vlogmas is the best time of year. Daily JesssFam videos makes me feel spoiled lol! I can not express how impressive it is that you do this. Vlogmas is a lot of work, and your dedication and the fact that you in no way compromise your video quality for the increase in quantity is beyond words. I am trying vlogmas myself and it is not easy. The behind the scenes aspect of youtube really fascinates me and I'm grateful you added that in your vlogmas intro video. You are my favourite youtuber by far, and have been consistently for the last 3 or more years. ❤❤

I miss big caden, but I respect his privacy!

I love jess she puts so much effort and time into these videos just to give us content and she puts anything out of her way to support her kids 💗❤💓💕

I love how you respect big kadens wishes of not being on camera! ❤

The pure talent you have being able to talk to the camera with all the chaos in the car 😮‍💨 if there’s small distractions around me, it’s hard for me to concentrate and continue saying what I was talking about

I would love to have a Shane’s dad in my family. That is so cool. There are better ways to treat our bodies other than pills pills pills. American medicine just covers up the symptoms instead of fixing the problems. I’m so glad you got to experience this and that you shared it with us 😊

Team fake tree all the way. No bugs, no dirty, no mess, it’s easier to move around, you can bend the branches in any way you want, you don’t have to take care of it, you aren’t killing a living thing just to throw it away in a few weeks, you can use it year after year, you don’t have to worry about it dying before Christmas… honestly U don’t understand why anyone would want a real tree. The only reason I have heard is the smell, but just light a candle lol

Jess you’re just like me as a mama we are always so worried about our children being bundled up and warm. When we get dressed though we don’t seem to think about being cold because I most def wear ripped jeans every-time I go somewhere that’s cold. But trust and believe my boys are always bundled and warm it’s hilarious that us mamas do it all the time.😂 absolutely love your vlogs and vlogmas is my absolute favorite.🫶🏻🙏🏻 You’ve helped me through some of the hardest times during my depression and as I’ve been dealing with anxiety. I find your whole families voices calming and just adore your entire family.🥰

Omg!! Big Caden's voice is changing and getting so deep!

You work so hard for your kids and your job, you are you amazing. You rock

from 17:44 to around 17:57 is just such a precious clip of Jess and Kyson and it really shows how pure natured her children are❤️

I absolutely adore how nothing changes when your step kids are around you can see they feel welcome and at home with you ❤️ And I love how you respect Big Kadens decision on not being on camera like not even background you moved the camera every time he was just about to be on it ❤

Just realized today how much Tommy looks like his dad.

It’s crazy how much Tommy resembles Chris

Love watching your family. You make everyday special for those around you.

It’s never a Jessfam video with out anything happening

I think you guys should consider getting a vacation home in upstate New York. Then just Air b&b it when you don't use it. The winters and winter things to do are just magical

I am a remedial Massage Therapist and 100000% agree with Chinese medicine. It is so fascinating! I've studied a little bit of it but need to study much more into it! I believe you would benefit from seeing a chiropractor as well Jess! Highly recommend!

So, I WAS team real Christmas tree, until I found out that my one cat was severely allergic to pine. Immediately threw away 20+ years of tradition and bought a nice fake tree lol that little allergy ridden ball of fluff is my world

Nothing scarier then seeing a random sketchy person on your private property who runs away when they encounter someone connected to the owners and give a flimsy excuse as to why they are there and what they were doing. I grew up with having live fresh cut Christmas trees that we picked out and cut down at a Christmas tree farm 25-30 minutes away from our house. It was a huge tradition with all 7 kids piled into the family vehicle, only those who were 3+ years old went with Dad and those who were younger stayed home with Mom who pulled out most of the Christmas decorations and prepared the area in the living room where the tree would go. After finding the perfect tree we each got a fresh homemade doughnut and either hot chocolate or apple cider, that the owners family made , and of course we each got a candy cane. When we got a letter telling us that the farm had been sold and they wouldn’t be selling trees anymore Dad said our tree that year would be a 2.5 foot tall potted Norfolk pine that screamed Charlie Brown tree because it couldn’t hold any ornaments. He refused to buy an overpriced pre-cut tree that had been cut weeks ago. I was never the rebellious child or caused any problems because I saw how the actions of my older siblings had had on the family. Well that year I refused to have to settle for that horrible potted tree and I had my older sister and her take me to a stand so I could buy the family a Christmas tree using the money I earned babysitting. The stands were a bust and her boyfriend took us to a fancy garden nursery and I found a gorgeous fresh cut tree. It cost $40.00 which was outrageously expensive back then. We took it home and had it decorated and had run up to bed right before Dad got home from choir practice. He was shocked to find a tree in the living room, but he couldn’t do much about it at that point and no one told him who paid for it. We did put some paper decorations and tinsel on his potted tree. He went out and purchased an artificial tree during the after Christmas sales. That thing was hideous and skinny. The next year while our parents were out the 5 youngest siblings piled into our suburban and went to a building supply/home improvement store that had Christmas trees and purchased one. We hadn’t really been able to see how it looked because it had been wrapped and it had been sleeting and had a layer of ice on it. We took it to the basement and hid it behind the ping pong table which was folded up because we weren’t currently using it. We trimmed the trunk and put on the tree stand and watered it. We made it so you couldn’t see it and left it to thaw out so we could remove the mesh covering and bring it up and decorate it when Dad wasn’t home. It turned out to be a really gorgeous full tree and by the next day the whole basement smelled of fresh pine tree. Dad put his foot down and said that we had to use the fake tree the next year. One of my sisters got married before Christmas that year so that fake tree was in the living room. I purchased a small pine tree that I put in my bedroom and decorated. I quickly discovered that I was allergic to the tree and became very itchy and congested and wherever I touched the tree I broke out in hives. The tree only lasted a week in my room before it got moved to my sister’s room for the rest of the holiday. A year or so later my parents sold the house and moved to the mountains in southwestern Virginia and Dad found a Christmas tree farm and after talking with the owner he was granted an unbelievable deal that was honored by his family for over 20 years. Dad paid $10.00 for whatever tree he wanted no matter how tall or short it was. The house they bought had 18ft. Ceiling in the family room and Dad usually got a 12-15 foot tall tree. He had to attach thin cables to the ceiling beams to anchor it to prevent it from falling. The year I got married the tree stand broke and the tree fell. Thankfully no one got hurt and only 2 ornaments broke which was surprising as 99% of the ornaments were breakable. My husband and I used real trees until my allergies got worse and we had to use a very realistic looking artificial tree which I was also allergic to. After setting it up and decorating it I looked like I had been in a cat fight and lost. We have used a fake one for 20 years now.

One summer my mom worked with the Chinese acrobats, Chinese medicine is amazing. I'm so glad you found them and got to learn also. I was 13 when they were here and taught us and I've used what they taught us many times throughout my adult life

I love having a real Christmas tree. When I visit my Dad in Idaho, we get a permit from the Forest Service to cut down our Christmas tree and it is so much fun to find the perfect tree. 💗 But when I celebrate Christmas in AZ, we just use a fake tree. I saw a Chinese medicine specialist when I lived in Chicago and it was a major game changer for me! 💗 I am sure that you can find someone near Sacramento to continue treating you and helping you heal.

I would be terrified too if I saw an intruder at my house.

I love it when you do Vlogmess!!!! Makes me so happy!!! I missed a lot of your videos because I’m at WDW for my honeymoon, but the hubby is sleeping so I’m catching up on your videos!

These videos make my day! Thank you for doing vlogmas it gives me something to look forward to watching everyday I just love watching you guys such a great family!

What a awesome uncle letting them all help

the hudson valley is my hometown i’m so happy you guys got to experience it’s low key beauty ❤

"That horn sounds like it saying, excuse me can you move please🤣🤣🤣." I lost it🤣 Team fake tree ✋. For all the same reasons. Your family is so beautiful🥰

The technique is called Tui na. More than a decade ago, I had slipped disc (MRI confirms it) due to a bad fall but there's nothing the specialist could help and even told me to return when my leg starts to feel numb. At that point, I couldn't even wear my pants while not having to hold on to something or having to sit on my bed so I gave tui na & bone-setting a try. After a few treatments, I got better and have no issue since then.

I swear you have the greatest kids. I wish my daughter knew them. She’s great and your kids have learned from you so they are awesome. ❤️❤️❤️

“mom is it real” had me dying😂 they were ready to get biting🌲 that sunlight on your red hair is so beautiful🔥 & Im pro fake tree. I had real ones growing up but they’re too much work!

Ryan wasn’t messing around. 😂 He moved FAST.

I'm team real tree. I love the memories of my family all picking out our Christmas tree and the taking it home and decorating it. I usually was the one that had to make sure that the tree had food and water. But the smell of a real tree in the house is the best part of christmas.

You definitely should go see a chiropractor for your body imbalances. I broke my ankle and the other side of my body overcompensated and I was soooo imbalanced, chiropractor and stretching regularly are the only thing that made me feel better.

Would you ever move out of Cali so you can have a house with more land? We just recently moved to a house with a big backyard compared to our old home that had none. So I completely get the feeling! In Ohio, a lot of people do real trees but we do fake still. The upkeep and pine needle clean up is horrible.

Little Kadens teeth look amazing already.

I'm delighted you found somebody who practices Chinese medicine. I've had a major problem with early onset arthritis. Saw some experts who helped. However, It is a Chinese man who has made a radical difference. Yes, it hurts at first, but the outcome is fantastic. I hope you can find somebody in LA to continue treating you.

One year for thanksgiving and Christmas instead of my entire family meeting up for dinner we met up early in the morning and did breakfast. It was awesome don’t get me wrong but it wasn’t the same and I’m glad we got back to tradition. Anytime we get together hangout enjoy one another’s company and eat amazing food is wonderful so I’ll take whatever I can get🥰

My dad actually is a huge believer in traditional Chinese medicine. About 10 years ago he was diagnosed with a degenerative muscle condition, and when he found out he did a ton of research and talked to a lot of doctors. They actually live over seas in china, and he regularly goes and gets acupuncture done, and also takes traditional Chinese medicine in tea form. It’s done wonders for his body, and even though he still has the condition, it’s progression has slowed down tremendously. It’s also helped my mom a lot with her arthritis, and she’s had that similar ‘massage’ to what you were talking about.

That was scary and the kids were brave and strong.

Fan of three Christmas tree types of faked tree , cut tree and live tree depending on situation and my mood of year. I love using two small blue spruce alive potted trees at our house's front entrance outside and then we will planted trees in our yard afterwards. We will Christmas decorate these trees with different birds' foods to feed them during winter times after we had planted them in yard. My favorite type of Christmas tree if I have to choose one would be alive potted Blue Spruce trees! Blue Spruce trees to me are perfect beautiful form Christmas trees and they do smell so good that adds to Christmas decorate theme along with you give back to nature by planting these alive potted trees into your yard too!

As a cops wife, I don’t like this. I appreciate how Steve asked if he had a rifle. This is so scary for me to hear about this kind of stuff, it just worries me sick how parents have to protect their kids from intruders. 😢 But also I hunt, I can’t blame Ryan. 😂

Hi Jesssfam good morning happy Sunday morning and happy vlogmas day and happy holidays and I loved your channel and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

Real tree. I’ve never had a fake tree. I’m 51. A fake tree just isn’t the same for me. I love the smell and getting to go pick one out every year. We always get a live tree and plant it in our yard. I’m not hating on artificial trees. I’ve seen some beautiful ones. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas 😊❤

One year we had a real tree. I was home alone with my 3 month old twins ( now 24). I was supposed to put the lights on so we could decorate it when everyone got home that night. Well babies were sleeping , lights were on . I heard a popping sound ( more like crackling). Over and over . I thought it was the lights and it was going to catch fire. So I ripped the lights off. I could still hear it. Like what the heck ???? Turns out there were pinecones on the tree and they were opening up with the water going into the tree.

Shane son is so cute and he absolutely loved you and it was so cute seeing Chris hold him

Omg finally I literally refreshed your channel 3 min ago and was waiting for volgmas day 3 Love your channel❤️❤️

Realtree definitely the smell is amazing in your home and even though it makes a mess it's definitely worth it ,it makes it more unique an artificial trees are a pain if they're already have lights on them cuz if the lights go out you still got all these lights that aren't lit up

We always get a real tree. There's a specific place we get it every year, but due to travel plans and immediately getting sick when we got home, we had to wait a week after we would have normally gotten it, and the place sold out 😔. So we piled in the car tonight and went to lowes (the only place open late enough bc my dad had to work) and went to look just in case they had any good trees, and we were able to find an amazing tree!!! We brought it home and set it up so it could fall tonight, and we're gonna decorate it tomorrow morning.

Depends because real trees you have to water them everyday and change the water but fake trees are easier so I really don't know

I'm team real tree all the he way! It's tradition to go up into the mountains with the family, and a picnic, and cut down the tree together. So many fun memories!

All of those symptoms are signs of scoliosis, one side sticking out more than the other, one shoulder being higher and hips being different too! Please go to the doctor they’ll be able to help.

kaden taking out his invisalign to cut the tree down 😂

I Hispanic and my family does something similar when someone is sick and they don’t eat they apply pressure on your stomach and back and arms and that help a lot. It’s very very similar with our family even though where Hispanic!

Little Caden could be a child model he is so cute!

Have you ever considered if you have scoliosis? I have shoulder pain in one shoulder due to my back muscles being stretched bc my spine is crooked. My uneven shoulders and hips causes a rib on my right side to constantly pop out. I am for sure not a doctor but this sounds very similar to the pain I experience

Omg I’ve been waiting all day for this!!!

Jesss Chinese medicine is incredible! I actually went several years ago to a doctor Downtown Toronto about 1 hour from my place, I used him for a few years and had great success, my friend was needing a wheelchair and has MS, after he was in treatment for several months including drinking teas they made from who knows what my friend is back working as a mechanic and is a walking miracle! I just had a Chinese medicine group of people buy the house next door as a business, I think after seeing this cider I will re visit Chinese medicine, cost wise it’s not bad either.

I’m team real tree 100% my fam has a tradition of going to a candy store then tree farm then dinner and this has been a tradition for 22 years now I love it

Wait did you say your uncle had 8 or 80 acres 😮 Either way that is a nice amount of land and I agree with your comment in the last video, your boys/children need land. Most of my memories from my childhood involve the experiences I had outside exploring with my family and childhood friends.

Kyson in that corduroy shacket makes it easy to imagine him as a grown up teenager

My dad's car whenever he would go a certain speed for the doors to lock it would make a quack so it sount like we ran over a duck but we actually didn't. So when he dropped off my brother and I at school when he unlocked the doors it went quack and my dad said well the duck is dead. But it was because his oils like by his trunk something was wrong but don't worry we didn't actually run over a duck.

Omg best intro ever love this video y'all are my favorite family KZfaqrs

I’m team Real because I love the authentic pine smell! But I understand the method behind the fake trees! 🎄

FAKE TREE! the real ones are messy and to big for my house! 😂😂

I swear Addi has grown 6-8 months since her birthday!!

A 7ft tree would not even fit in my tiny tiny house. I'd be sitting in the tree as decoration. lol

I’ve been waiting for this vlog for what feels like firvwd

Always cut down our tree and carried the tradition on to our boys and they love cutting it down every year and spending time at the Christmas tree farm

I have a fake tree this year but growing up we always got a real one and I did get a real one a few years ago and love them but fake ones are just easier especially with cats

*

Team fake Christmas tree. It's fun, I'm just Christmas morning. I woke up to see Sam's footprints in the. And I was like, what the heck there's so many presents?

I live in Massachusetts and love the fun of going out and picking out the perfect tree BUT I LOVE my fake tree that already has the lights on AND I don't have to water or clean up falling needles.

You guys should come and move to New York it would be a great place for you to raise your kids in and there is a lot for you to do here

Omg I that was so traumatizing thank god you guys are ok

Never clicked so fast!!!! Happy holidays!!!!🎉🎉

Omg I love you and your video’s so dang much Jess

I love your videos so so much and addy is so cute ❤

Oriental medicine is amazing! I haven't heard of the focus your relative specializes in, but it sounds wonderful! We have found that Oriental Medicine can treat things that Western medicine can't, and vice versa. There is a place for both!

Growing up in Montana my aunt and uncle had property that extended from their house to my their youngest sons house which was about 10 miles away and someone got onto their property and started hunting without permission when my uncle saw that he was not happy at all told him not to come back we didn’t come back for about a week, that week later I was outside walking to their dock and saw the person like Kaden we made eye contact and ran never saw him again

Could look at a possible country move 😊 in the future as country air and having a large play area to play in for the children would be a positive thing 😊 as a person with autism aspergers and interlectual Disability I love country more than city.

Wow Jess u ar a amazing u will do anything for your kids and u put so much effort and time into these vid 🫶🏻

This morning I kept checking your page to see if u posted it

Team real tree!! But they have gotten so expensive now that we have converted to a fake tree! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Love this, hope you talk more of your treatment so to say. I wish we had that type of medicine here. I am thinking about going back to the chiropractor

Team fake tree have a beautiful week sending prayers for everyone

I love your vids also addy was watching Soty family and I love Soty family.

I went through a Chinese medicine course while going through massage therapy school. Very interesting and great things learned.

Can’t wait to watch todays vid!!!

We do fake Christmas trees because we did a live Christmas tree once and it’s kind of hard to clean up so we’d like fake Christmas trees

I miss big Caden being on camera anyone else or just me

I go see a doctor who performs Chinese medicine,acupuncture and Chinese prescription. It actually has made my life so much better. I go once a month faithfully. It truly works.

Jess u should come to New zealand for a holiday bc we have so much land and it so beautiful and we by sea and heaps of land

Omg hiii luv your vids😂❤

Omg those boys were running soo fast outta nowhere! Do not drop out of P.E!!!🤭😮

Who else looked at the title and thought “Omg Jess is having another baby!” Because that’s what I thought 😭

Team real!! They smell beautiful and are totally worth the extra bit of mess.

I am so sorry about this
