I lived in Germany for five years, I miss the markets so much. Thank you for sharing your day in York. I too am not feeling very festive. The tour of York helped!

Such a cosy video. I haven't been to York for years but really want to visit again now. Seasons Greetings from a cottage in Wales

Thank you ❤ for showing us York and Christmas market ✨❄️

It looks so beautiful there in York. I wish I could teleport!

I think many of us who are compassionate, empathic and humanitarian at heart find it difficult to feel truly festive this year whilst the ghost of War in Ukraine and all the suffering in many parts of the world weigh on our spirit. Thank you for the lovely tour of York. Wishing peace, serenity and love to all.

Wow that Christmas market is so magical! I wish we had places like that here in the US. I must go one day if I visit the U.K

“Just a random witch walking past” that made me burst out laughing!!!! 😂😂😂💛

York is such a pretty place. Thank you for taking us there. I am really not feeling the holidays this year. I think because I work retail and see mostly the secular and materialistic side of it, this year it has just gotten to me. We really don't have any time this year to do anything except for on Christmas day.

Thank you for taking me back to York. Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2023.

Loved this, felt like I was truly in England. Tired of our summer christmases in Australia, you’re so lucky.

My favourite place in the world but I'm completely biased as I've lived in York my whole life where I've also brought up my family. We know how lucky we are. Thank you for showing York off so beautifully. X

So beautiful and so festive - thanks for sharing Kay!!

Well thank you... I haven't seen any Christmas markets 🤨. But I feel a lot better now...as you have shown us all the lovely parts of York in the festive season.. you have a wonderful time with Dom, Rory and Echo... Quality time.. I thank you for your patience. time. And everything you have given us this year... 😊❤️🥳🎄⛄

I have been a week in York on a holiday with my parents, they are no longer here. Was the best holiday of my life ...

I loved the witch 🧙‍♀️

Thank you for sharing ❤ York is one of our favourite places to visit but we haven't been for years. My hubby went to university there, and so it will always hold special memories for him. We visited once at Christmas and it was so magical. We would love to take our children there at some point, but it's quite a journey for us now as we live in the South West.

I loved looking at your part of the world. We are opposite in temperature in Australia. It is 1pm in the day and almost 90 degrees. Seasons greetings to you and your husband 🎄🎅🏻🥳

How beautiful! I've never been to York but now I'd love to go next December!

I’m glad you didn’t make the venture to Birmingham! It’s only 20 mins on a train for me. This years market was rubbish 😣 not as half the stalls there as previous years, mainly food and drink and not many gift/souvenir ones. The York one looks fabulous though 🎄🎄

I am the same here! I have truly been struggling with feeling festive although I have tried to conjure the feeling as normally lover of the period but also for my 4 years son as well. But despite that and the vlogmas I've been watching, I haven't managed to feel the festive essence and with work (I'm a bookseller), I've been running all over the place so I'm also looking forward for the new year and slower times^^. Thank you for your video and the serenity you manages to insert .

Ah, shared Earth was always my go to shop when visiting York. Lovely city.

You show us very lovely places and the christmas market was cute too. Have a wonderful christmas and a happy new year🎄🎁❤.

Thank you so much for sharing your trip to York! Visiting the UK is a dream of mine, and I have added York to the list of must-see places. Merry Christmas to you and Dom!

We love York and go regularly, it does always feel cold in York for some reason.

Merry Christmas Mr + Mrs Parker and all the best for 2023 xx

CHRISTmas BLESSINGS Dear Ones🎄❣️

Have a blessed Christmas Kay 🎄 🙏 ❤️ 💖

I so loved this visit to York, seeing all the beautiful architecture and the lovely Christmas market. As a subscriber from Vancouver, Canada I’m always keen to live vicariously in the UK. I’m not feeling particularly festive this year either. I’m happy but not excited. I think because there seems to be so much drama in 5:27 the world and society, I’m drawn to cocooning also. Merry 5:27 Christmas to you and Dom! 🎄 I always enjoy your content as a slice of real life, whatever it is. xo karen

Thank you I really appreciate you allowing us to be with you guys! Awesomeness

Beautiful....thanks for sharing!

❤Thanks so much for this beautiful video sweet Kay, absolutely loved it!!! Wow, hard to believe a year has gone by so quickly! Have a Happy Christmas and New Year Kay & Dom, Echo & Rory 🥰🙏🏻❤️❌⭕️🎄🎁🥂

We don't just learn from our mistakes, we grow from them

Kay & Dom, when I get a notification to say your video Vlogmas is uploaded its my happy day. York is so nice,we stayed in York in summer for afew days absolutely brilliant & walked afew times to the Shambles.x.

Thanks for bringing us along to York! I loved it! And never apologize for the length of your videos.. especially this time of year, and when you’ve already posted extra content. I get what you mean about cocooning inwards 💯. Christmas can be overwhelming and exhausting, particularly if you’re an introverted high anxiety personality like I am ☺️. I’m looking forward to Christmas, but I’ll also be ready for it to be over 😳. I hope that doesn’t sound to “bah-humbug” 🤣.

Sometimes short is good! Merry Christmas!

You take care of yourself lovely! 💛

Short is fine. I loved going along with you to the York Christmas market. Thank you for the lovely time. I am now craving a mug of mulled wine. 😊

I love this! Thank you for showing us York! I'm in Kentucky, US. I'm planning a trip there next yr. But mostly in the south where I'm tracing my family roots. Merry Christmas to you! I love watching you. Thank you.

The York visit was so magical thank you for sharing!

Merry christmas!!!

I feel the same way, Kay: just not that festive. Still, that's nothing that an afternoon in front of the fire playing Christmas Carol's wouldn't fix. I think that the fact that it's going to be a tough Christmas and Winter in general has affected us all. I carry worry in my heart for my family, but also for us all. I'm not religious, but maybe concentrating on the real reason for Christmas might help? Regardless, I wish you a very Happy Christmas 🎅🏻🎄♥️

York is so bewish I had been able to get there this year but will try to plan to take my daughter next Christmas 🎄 xx

Thank you for showing us York, I feel like I was enjoying the christmas spirit with you and Dom. 🎅🎅🎅

Lovely vlog. Harry Potter! Merry Christmas to you and thank you for an insight into your life and for sharing so much. Thoroughly enjoyed all of your vlogs x

York reminds me of Rochester with the old buildings. Christmas is not my favourite time of year, I look forward to the new year more 🙂

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

So enchanting! Thank you for the video.

Hi Kay, Dom, Rory and Echo - another lovely video! Merry Christmas - Like Tina below - my husband also went to uni in York so we love the area. We are now in the time of life to relocate from the South. You have often mentioned that you would like to move one day to another lovely home. Can you recommend some pretty towns or villages that we should consider in our move? Enjoy - and perhaps Father Christmas will bring you the missing "festive spirit" when all the hard work of Christmas is over and you can look forward to your first year as Husband and Wife. Have a lovely - best wishes x

Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy New year x

Hi kay always wanted to go to york, we're by Exeter so went there and bath, happy Christmas to u and dom x

Oh my goodness! It’s cold here as well, negative 3., and negative 5 thru the night! Brrrr! Kay, I have been watching you for some time now, and always wanted a Ragdoll cat. I just loved viewing your videos, especially Rory and Echo! Two days ago, I got my first Ragdoll from a local, reputable breeder. We are in love with her already! She is a Seal Bi-Color. My heart was first set on a Blue Point Mitted, but when I met with the husband/wife breeders, they met me in town with the last two of their current liter. They were both females. It really was so hard to choose the one I liked the most. My daughter and I wanted to bring them both home! She truly is a special gift, and I’m so happy we have her. Maybe in the near future….we will get a second one. Merry Christmas to you and Dom! Blessings!

I do miss Germany Christmas Market 😢

Lovely vlog Kay, l love York and being round Christmas it looks even more lovely, much more appealing than Birmingham probably because l live about 20 miles from Birmingham it does not seem so appealing x

Thanks Kay for a lovely vlog and happy Christmas 🌲⛄❤

I can’t wait to settle in with you and catch up on all your videos Christmas Eve!! But wouldn’t it be lovely to spend actual Christmas with you! Or st least the Solstice 🤭🤍❄️🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽❄️🤍

Loved this, Just bein myself with my parents and husband and my younger sister to Oberhausen, I hate normal markets , But christmas markerts are something else, I have 5 mulled wine glasses/mugs now🤣 I am more of a halloween kind of girl and that street made me feel more Knockturn Alley then Dagon alley😜 felt cosy and i loved that witch made my evening! Keep it spooky all year round💜 Merry Christmas!🎄

Merry Christmas and Happy New year kay and Dom,been loving your cosy vlogs this year looking g forward to more fab vlogs next year.xx❤❤❄🎅

Love York, my Daughter was at university there for 4 years and we only live an hour away x

This was one of my faves so far (granted, I still have to see the Winter Solstice one 🥹🥹🥹🌲🤍❄️) but this video was giving me better than Hallmark winter vibes!! You did an amazing job in music selection as well! Was that a store that said Potions and Cauldrons!?😃🥰🙏🏽! It just went from Hallmark to Harry Potter vibes!😃😃😃! I so wish we had Winter Markets here! I absolutely loveee seeing a fellow witch walking by! What a brilliant idea she had for her broom! Did you know there are legends and stories about the Christmas Witch! The children’s book I have she is Santa’s sister, which makes so much sense to me! If you know, you know.. and I am pretty sure YOU know heehee. I wasn’t feeling festive this yesr either. Didn’t decorate or put up the tree, but this video (which I will be rewatching over and over 🙈 helped so much!! Just adore you my love! Blessed Winter to you and yours! Can’t wait for more staycation videos in the new year!!❤

Lovely video. I'm wondering if stepping back from consumerism has dimmed your festive feeling? Sadly it seems to be about buying... gifts, expensive food, party clothes etc and if you're not involved in all that it can feel a bit meh especially if that's been the memories of your youthful Christmases when the traditions are set.

Thank for . You video . Fom spain

Maybe next year you should come to Germany and visit the christmas markets. The mulled wine is delicious 😄

🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍

I adore Betty's! 🍵🍰🌭🍟 🌺 🍭 🍷 🥞 🧹 🥢⛪ 🎄
