Oh! I love this tour, it’s making me laugh, after having taking my very sick husband to hospital last night, to be told he has a blood clot,not major,so life goes on & it is Christmas with our family. Hearing you with your Daughter, was nice . Ah a Pizza! How delicious! Happy Christmas & remember keep the jokes coming as there is always someone out there who needs them.

Day 7 was my favorite. How can you go wrong with Silent Night and a beautiful fire 🔥. Emotional for me. Take care out there. ❤

I just had to add more to my first comment. The rug part..was the best! The tree is actually beautiful. Thank you again, this video made my night better and cheered me up when I needed it.

[@dixonqueen9019]

[@_vinterthorn]

You can't always plan for everything but you sure do conquer situations with an abundance of cheerfulness and humour. Merry Christmas from far-away Germany, Matt!

[@turbo5488]

[@jefftaylor844]

You're 'Christmas corner' was actually really cozy and welcoming looking ! Well done !

OMG Matt, you don't need this at this time of year, all this hassle and extra expense. It was nice of your boss to help, Christmas spirit at its best. I hope you manage to have a happy Christmas Matt, Penny and Stella. 🎄🎅 Hope you have a wonderful time and best wishes for 2023 😊🤞👍

[@freedomdove]

"Ships don't roll. Unless it's windy." Lol. 😁 I'm sorry to see you had problems with the van at this time of year. One good thing would be that it allowed you to have the space in a hotel room to wrap presents. 🤷‍♀🎁👍 Merry Christmas, Matthew and Brooklyn and Stella and Penny and Lucky. 🎄🙏🐈🐈🍀

[@VanlifePLUS]

Merry Christmas!

[@inventivity]

[@Diorella_scent]

❄️ Beautiful, just beautiful thank you ❄️ I may have the warmth of an Australian summer (heatwave building now), but that doesn’t ease the loneliness that I feel. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and wonderful,safe and peaceful New Year ❤🎉❤

[@VanlifePLUS]

We all feel alone sometimes for sure, especially in this lifestyle - but it always passes, in due time and the feelings abate. Merry Christmas

[@violetflame88]

Gosh you managed this huge bump in the road so well Matt. Christmas is so stressful and when its your home, its even worse. Now that its almost Xmas Eve you will know that nobody is travelling much in B.C. as we have the deep freeze (my car didn't like that). I know that you continued to have the freeze in Alberta. Vancouver airport is full of people who can't get home and I just want call many many Angels to help people like yourself, struggling.

[@MickDickerson]

It’s sssso crazy, we were having your weather here in NB, it was beautiful! The deep freeze is settling in though. But no snow. Crazy weird year for weather.

[@solangescrive8070]

You can also park 8 hours at the parkade floor 2,3,4

[@brookehavers6763]

I think the van is too tall to get into the parkade… no?

[@solangescrive8070]

Yeah you are 100% correct I didn't think about that 🤔

[@connieshutts7074]

Good job on the decorating! Love the editing!!❤❤❤

[@MsSoozy]

I’m sorry I missed this premiere, it’s always nice to talk to people. Merry Christmas 🎄 everybody and Happy Holidays 🎉🍻🥳 “Know your limit, play within it 😉🍀🎄🥳”.

[@VanlifePLUS]

Merry Christmas Sue!

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

Merry Christmas Sue...stay warm and we will catch you on the next one. I was late too...too many Dr appointments for the kiddos,🤦‍♀️

[@beckya040301]

Omg omg..life's challenges. Loved the incredible happy smile at the end. Challenge complete Awww and your little girl sounds so cute. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄

[@jackieschneider7354]

Great video, I enjoyed watching and listening as I stuffed all my gifts into pretty Christmas bags. I was done around day 8 then sadly watched as your home took a break from van life too lol. Loved day 13…all’s well that ends well.

[@debkinder3632]

Loved the Christmas special! Glad Lucky is better 🤞🏽 Merry Christmas Matthew, Brooklyn, Lindsey, Sadie, Stella, Penny and of course the co-star Lucky. Really enjoying your channel and I'm expecting great things for you in 2023. ❤

[@dawnmarazzi8283]

How about a thrift store?! I have helped put 3 kids and a hubby through private education with their help...along with Walmart and the Dollar stores! Good luck!!!

[@kaydublin5164]

Found you a few months ago when I was and still suffering from sciatica, you have been such a God send of positivity, thank you and I hope you and your daughter and kitties have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄🥰

[@62swampboy62]

Uh yeah. Merry Christmas, ya nut. Hope you have a good holiday, and that WE ALL have a better 2023. Give your cats a scratch on the ears from me.

Merry Christmas Matt! And have a great one!!!

[@justjudy7320]

When it comes to time never ever ever question anything. If things are delayed there's a reason. Every single time a fork in the road appears to you that simply means you're higher self has got a plan. Go with the flow make the best of it like you always do and the universe will continue to provide every step along the way. There's a really cool video here on KZbin if you put the words Darryl Anka Bashar the formula into the search line it's the secret to all manifestation and how the universe works and provides.

[@navigatingthedestination]

Very fitting ending Matt 😁 was that after it was fixed. Driving lucky away. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅Matthew, Brooklyn, Penny and Stella. And your cousin Lindsey and Merry Christmas to Amber and Ruth. And Merry Christmas to everyone in the community. I appreciate you all. Thank you 😁 Kaila's youtube channel Getter Better is having a livestream tomorrow at 5pm. If you haven't heard of her channel take a look she does alot of cool DiY stuff for vanlife etc.. She is awsome 😁

[@therootsandbranchhomestead7013]

You are a legend. Simply the best. Namaste' from Oklahoma

Back to say, the ending was awesome.

[@jaimesinon8110]

IM PRAYIN MAN GOD BLESS YA

[@sovereigns1grace]

Ha ha ha! I got that movie reference [Do your self up Shannon. Have some dignity! ] From the movie Far and Away. Oh wow ... your Christmas Special sure did get special. I'm so sorry it turned out that way. My heart broke seeing you in the hotel feeling down. So relieved your boss/work could pitch in and help you out. That's amazing. You know ... this was a very special vlog. Because of you. Merry Christmas Matthew. Thanks for sharing reality and yourself.

[@jopwns14]

Such an awesome video. Thanks Matthew. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

[@melodieyanchik4309]

It's snowing chocolate powder we wish my life for babies miss you wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed life and a happy blessed new years of 2023 I enjoy all your videos I watch every single one even your back one I want to wish you and your brother and your family and your fur baby a very Merry Christmas and be safe

[@VanlifePLUS]

Merry Christmas!

[@sharonsmith9478]

Praying everything gets better for you and them baby's soon love you guys

[@YabbaDabbaDoTime]

Merry Christmas Matt. I really enjoy your videos. Glad you got your home back, being homeless in the Canadian winter is probably the worst case scenario.

[@billboyer7735]

Merry Christmas Matt. It’s Christmas Eve Eve. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling you Eve. I’ve contemplated doing what you’ve chosen to do. My car is ready for the most basic of living right now. More of a survival mode right now if it ever came to that. Thursday night Friday morning it got down to -24°F and only topped out at -9°F. Your devotion to family including Penny and Stella is wonderful. Your devotion to vanlife is also plainly obvious but realistic. If I ever take the plunge I’ll run your name in the credits along with Steve Wallis. You both are similar in as much you’re both good guys and well grounded. Take care. Maybe if we ever get to talk, I’ll tell you how vanlife found me or I found it. More importantly, I’d love to hear your stories that might not make it to the vlog.

[@tijrus]

An excellent van life video. You are very good at documenting your life and moving onward and forward. Merry x-mas and be blessed!

[@maryhammer5296]

Merry Christmas to you, Matt, and family. You bring joy by sharing your story, even when you face adversity, you still are hopeful. Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

Merry Christmas Lucky, Lucky makes all this possible. Lucky keeps you warm and safe. We all adore Lucky, Matthew, you don’t look right living anywhere but inside Lucky’s warm interior. 2023 is exciting to envision, what new adventures and experiences will we all accompany you on. Thank You Matt for the gift you give us with your witty, creative and funny mini movies… you really are a star ⭐️. You make me giggle even when I’m down. At the end of the day, you are a very kind man and that oozes out of every flannel clad pore. Lol. (Bad grammar but hey ho). MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 🎁 🌟
