Amazing omg x

Brenda Fairbanks

What’s the brand of the vegan chocolate you used?

Professor Bats

Just... wow.

Jess Meister

The owl is so cuuuuuuute! Love the tree it reminds me of sleepy hollow and looks delectable as well, yum!

Bernadette Schmidt

I love this so much! I remember that you did something similar for Halloween, but it wasn’t a video. Have you read “The Halloween Tree” by Ray Bradbury? I think you could make something similar to the Halloween Tree from the book for Halloween.

Holland Belle Kerker

so beautiful!

Clare Davis

Loved having a “simple” episode back in front of the kitchen fireplace.

Tricia Hartig

I’m looking forward to joining my first livestream from Christine! Hi Christine, I’m a big fan of yours! I’ve been telling all my family and friends about your amazing creations! I just lost my mom on November 29 and I recall you saying how you record all your conversations with your mom. I have a few old recordings/video, but now I’m making sure to record my dad every chance I get!

I also find that it would be very nice to have an earlier notification of a live stream, maybe three-day advance? It would be nicer and easier for us to organize ourselves.

Heidi

Is there going to be a live stream this month? Are there usually live streams in December? If there’s going to be one, when?

Victoria Cooksey

Only Child Chocolate is one of the makers that makes them. Here is the IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0fe-L5vFAH/

Someday I'll have my own kitchen space and can start a vague attempt at being a domestic dark goddess

Jane Good

Absolutely stunning, I had to watch it again! Christine- Have you heard of the Legend of the Christmas Spider? It's an origin to tinsel on Christmas trees.

Thank you for another lovely video, and for a whole year of wonderful projects. Your episodes always seem to come at a time when I need a comforting pick me up and I save them for when I need them most - they never fail to make me feel better and inspire me. Happy Holidays to you, the captive, and the pets xxxx

lindsay

The perfect watch today while I finish wrapping presents! thank you for such a beautiful video christine!

Thank you Christine ! To you, your wonderful Captive and Beautiful Fur Babies Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas ! 🎄 May you have a Joyous and Happy New Year! 💫 Loved the owl 🦉

Willow Birch

Fun!!! Thanks for the info on how to make modeling chocolate, I'm always looking for it but can rarely find it, except online. I didn't realize it was so easy to make.

Ashley Randolph

Sooooo fun! I love the spooky twisted tree with the whimsical snow!! What a fun treat for a party and centerpiece!

Racheal Jones

I didn't know you could do that with candy canes! I love the finished product, especially that wee little owl (I imagine his name is Peppermint) - but I also liked the look of the twisty tree before the chocolate was added. It seriously looked like somthing made of veins. Eww - in the best way! Merry Christmas to you and the captive and all of yours - including the fur babies.

Nancy L Marx

Beautiful episode...enjoyed it so much. Thank you!

Paul Fliedner

Your baking videos are always my favorite! Thank you Christine! Merry Christmas to you and the captive.

This is so beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen Spangler candy canes but will be on the lookout now!

Virginia Cardinal

The number of steps that you can take something, past the point of the project seemingly being complete, never ceases to amaze me.

Melissa Kerns

So whimsical and lovely! Merry Christmas from me and my fur family to you and yours, Christine!

Angela Pearson

I loved this project and I'll definitely make it one day when I need a festive table centerpiece. Thank you for the wonderful content you put out every month, you're such a treasure ✨️ Merry Christmas to You, your Captive, and Creatures 🎄

Mononoke Adams

Merry Christmas!

Alycea

I love seeing the titles of your videos and try to figure out what you are going to do. And in particular how you will take it the extra mile. And you never disappoint. With each video I think 'okay, I would have stopped there probably'. And then I watch a further 10 or 15 minutes where you take it to the next level and simply make me smile.

Aline

A wonderful christmas to you and your family - human and non-human - too! Have a merry time!

Carol Blum

Merry Christmas from Mohawk! 🤶🏻🌲

Merry Christmas, Christine! Such a lovely project! Gnarly trees have always had a special place in my heart. One of the few things I’ve always enjoyed drawing, and now I have a good reason to make them in 3 dimensions!

Deborah Wiltshire Whaley
