Simply wonderful - breathtaking cinematography, gorgeous soundtrack and heart warming storyline, In awe of all your many talents and your humble down to earth nature. Thank your for sharing such wonderful gifts. May your Jule be a jewel and your new year be blessed with bountiful gifts.

[@LB-ci8pz]

It was magical. So fresh I could feel the snow and the cold crisp air. I was thinking father brings home a nice fir for a christmas tree in the end.

[@karomaalta4592]

How romantic🥰

[@soupedujour]

A magnificent short film. The cinematography, the editing, the music, the costumes, the simple plot…everything well crafted and professional. There is poetry in this production, it is the signature of who you are. You are truly a loving beautiful family and I really appreciate this kind gift you offered your followers this holiday season. Thank you ever so much.

[@jntd4160]

Hello from Saline, Michigan USA! I can not thank you enough for sharing your life with the world, your videos are one of the very few reasons I return to KZbin. They are calming, peaceful, informative and always make me smile. Mathias, I think you underestimate your talent in creating these videos. For anyone who hasn't seen the "midnight ski trip" video please look it up, it is truly magical! Merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing all of you in the new year! (I came back to edit this and let you all know the midnight ski trip video is called "Our HARSHEST Winter in the Swedish Wilderness So Far"...I hope you love it as much as I do! As always the music is perfection too!!!) XOXO

[@JC-justchillin]

I wonder how many people understand the beauty and rarity of being able to dip a cup into clean clear nourishing rejuvinating water. My heart breaks with joy for this gift for you all and also with sadness for its absence in so much of the world now. The whole video is phenomenal in its expression of all that is wonderful in your world. Thank you for taking us along.

[@raymundostille7426]

I totally agree with the dipping of a cup on a stream

[@ak-zx8xj]

God only knows how much I understand this....😢

[@verleden100]

i miss that so much,,we dont have that here,,pure water ,is holy! greets from belguim i wish i was there in the pure nature,,the movie is so butifull,,and what a work,

[@loraleeclark3823]

The cinematography of this is astounding. So beautiful. What a lovely gift. Thank you.

[@kathyr.6623]

Very peaceful showing a Northern Swedish man on "walk about.". Very glad you also gave us a glimpse of what it takes to make such a film, the work of several people with many takes, setting up of scenes, etc, just so we viewers have an unbroken span of story. Loved your efforts. Thank you and God Jul to you all. ✨🎄

[@ettajfan5882]

Just a minute into this video and the solace and peace is with me. Thank you! Happy holidays to all! May peace on earth become a reality!

[@anneliesjoss]

Your filming is just amazing! You are a drone master! What talent……. I can honestly say this has been my favorite holiday movie 🥰🎄❄️💜 I really appreciate all the hard work that went into this.

[@JamieBrady]

Beautiful as always. Thank you Matthias and Tova. Blessed Yule to you both, and to Ivar too ❤

[@RedRobin808]

Absolutely fantastically written and filmed. You deserve an Oscar for best actors, directors and Cinemaphotography. Even the Drone deserves a price. Have yourselves a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and prosperous 2023.

[@DNA350ppm]

A heartfelt smile from me, too!

[@earthangel8730]

Absolutely magical and brilliant! I was weeping for the symbolism and serenity. The backstory at the end got me teary eyed from smiling. You all never fail to DELIGHT!

[@sunnyskies4628]

Oh guys this video was Fabulous! So much family hard work went into this video for all of our viewing pleasure!! BRAVO! And THANK YOU! The beginning was peaceful and heart warming❤ The second half was hilarious 😂 and just as pleasurable ❤️🎄LOVED IT! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU❤ 🎄🎁🎄🎄❤️🥰

[@blackmonday738]

I always get chills watching this loving family. I would love to be adopted. Mmmmmhwa

[@beckylby1953]

Silent night, Holly night, All is calm, All is bright! A light in the night, lovely placed, patiently awaiting Fathers return❣️ You are loved by all of us too! Thank you & Happy Jul! 🎄

[@maggsbufton1969]

You need a walking stick. Beautiful, beautiful journey and the Ravens croaking were exactly right. PS…nothing warmer than a sheep skin .

[@stephhebel1828]

My goodness! I suggest that you make prints and cards of your fantastic photography! I am watching the scene where Tova is with Ivar and the subdued lighting contrasted with Ivar's red hat is magnificent! Many warm regards to you and the family, from Colton, New York.

[@vapues873]

What a perfect way to start the Christmas weekend! ✌️❤️🌻🎄

[@ramonag8496]

Loved it. And thanks to Tova and her mom for helping filming. They did a great job. Thanks for not adding the middle ad, the least I can do is not skip the other ads. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! 🎄

[@wangchirong]

Wishing you all joy and wellness this holiday season and throughout the coming year. 🙏🙏🙏

[@grinchlette]

B E A U T I F U L. This is a Christmas gift to me. How is it you make me cry each Christmas?! Thank you! 🥰 God Jul!

[@NordicLifeForUs]

I love how magic the forest looks with shimmering white snow. Also the sounds when walking in the snow is so calming. Thank you for taking us on your yule adventure. It was a welcoming break in the christmas hustle.

[@evidemment14]

I knew this was no one man's job😅Thank you for sharing both the impeccable cinematography and the behind the scenes. This has been my 2022 Christmas movie. God Jul!

[@JL_10acres]

Very beautiful and fun video Christmas card! I grew up in South Dakota USA of Norwegian heritage. As Children my mother would make a rice milk dish with cinnamon and butter for us on cold winter nights. It brought a warm memory back to me of those childhood days. Thank you and God Yule to your family!

[@oanasimon1983]

This video brought me to tears, the solitude and quietness and the spirit of Christmas. Gog Jul!

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Merry Christmas and a happy new year from the UK x

[@dickybirdsnest]

❤❤ I love this one! I’m actually crying how special your family is! I wish you the best of everything you desire in the new year. I’ll be watching from 1/2 world away … Merry Christmas and Blessings from Ringle, WI

[@shelleykent5392]

Beautiful, peaceful and serene. Just the way the season should be. Peace.

[@RedRobin808]

You nearly had me fooled. I really thought you were out there all by yourself with little to eat and I thought how cold it must be with such sparse bedding. Only when I saw Tova dressed as a fairy tale figure did it click. Fantastic though, how you finished off the fairy tale by giving us the background to the story. Really well done.

[@janicerichardson6715]

Me, too!

[@cherlgolja5402]

Merry Christmas from Northern California 🇺🇸🎄

[@jamieloom22]

Yule Blessings. Thanks to the cast and crew for the beautiful Christmas story.

[@RuralSpanishRetirement]

Happy Yule from a damp 14C in SW Spain. I hate the cold but I love to see you in the snow. Your Christmas films are a true joy to watch. And how could we judge you harshly when you approach everything with such honesty and integrity. Best wishes for a successful 2023. 🎉

[@maiamitt]

Wondrous video with Mattias! Those frozen waterfalls were stunning! I saw that little tomte. 😊 God Jul Mattias, Tova, Ivar och Tova’s mama!

[@davidrudd9846]

Merry Christmas !!!! From snow-less South Texas

[@rosemarygilman8718]

That was amazing!!!! The visual story telling was incredibly beautiful and at the end when Father is home with his family was so sweet and touching that it made me tear up. Your use of music was perfect throughout. Just when I thought the video had ended there came the credits and clips of the filming process which added a layer of light heartedness and insight into it. I just LOVED it! Thank you! Brilliant work! God Jul!

[@olgaholow2901]

Thank you very much dear Matthias,Tova and Ivar from bring us your joy and peace!!! Happy Jul from North Wales!🤶🌲❄️☃️

[@richardliles4415]

Thank you so much for the gifted video for Yule, it was wonderful. From here in East Tennessee, USA I wish you a Nice & Happy Yule.

[@mrsdelongchamp]

God Jul! I previewed this to much delight. Tonight on Jul eve, my family and I will watch it on the big screen to experience the north country Christmases we knew when much younger. My grandmother was born in Sweden and came to the US when she was six years old in 1910 with her parents.. My great grandmother crossed the ocean alone with three little girls under age six (while nearly 8 mo. pregnant!) to meet my great grandfather, who had come before them to build a small home much like yours. They landed in NY and rode the train all across Canada to reach their papa and their new home in far northern Idaho. All our Christmases featured homemade lutefisk, potato sausage, Swedish meatballs & pancakes, pickled herring, spritz cookies. We were surrounded by the sounds of the relatives reading out Jul greeting cards sent from "the old country," and telling stories in Swedish. I remember so well, now at age 70. They have all passed, of course, by now. I love connecting with my Swedish ancestors through you and your beautiful videos depicting a life I imagine was similar to theirs. Thank you for the stunning professional-level photography you always produce and God Bless you & yours this Christmas and throughout the new year!

[@NordicLifeForUs]

What an amazing family story. I love that you will watch together

[@janicerichardson6715]

Also, very touched by your family story. Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings.🎄💫🙏

[@belieftransformation]

Great family history & traditions! Our ancestors endured so much to give their descendants a new beginning. My ancestors came from France & Germany & the ocean passage wasn’t on glamorous ships. I am so thankful to live in Alberta, Canada, where the land is beautiful like these scenes in Sweden.

[@petchoubibi9984]

Hello, your video is amazing...thank you for sharing it. All you efforts to do it.....I am Pascale living in Canada with husband and 2 boys. I saw your Christmas video last year I believe 10 times....🤶💗 I wish you a happy new year in your forest...many hugs....Pascale

[@melissasinclair9303]

Thank you for sharing this video (and I will share it with others as well). And THANK YOU for adding the "how you made bit" as it really shows a lot of personality and the work that is needed to do such "sweet and simple" things - as not quite so sweet and simple!

[@ryanjsgrandma2009]

My Christmas isn’t complete until I see your video. Thank you and happy holidays from USA

[@reneewilson1753]

You have outdone yourselves again!!!! Gosh so beautiful. You took my breath away with the frozen waterfalls. I have never seen anything like that. How amazing!!! Thank you for this video. We look forward to this very much. Merry Christmas from Knoxville TN.

[@gingerkelly7257]

Beautiful cinematography! Thank you!

[@purseypurslane]

Oh my, Matthias please be careful of all the heavy climbing through the snow, you must be sure your heart is strong enough to handle the cold and effort! I much prefer watching Tova in the warm kitchen preparing delicious food. I don't understand the 'yule' customs there but do enjoy your peaceful films, they help me through the cold winter months. God Bless your family!

[@cherylcoder4318]

Oh! Oh! Oh! WOW! You’ve done it again Mathias and Tova and company. This was magical, beautiful, fantastic and even funny. Your creativity and talent astound me. I loved it!!! The credits at the end were the icing on the cake. Very, very well done

Unbelievably beautiful story of reverence, communion, imagination, artistry and love. A gift to all of us around the world this Christmas. You point us toward the mystery of creation in ways that words cannot describe or our eyes can see. Thank you for living and sharing the best of what it means to be a human being. Many blessings, peace and love from Orcas Island, Washington. (We are coming out of a week of extreme weather with snow and ice and Arctic windchill. Our power was out for 10 hours yesterday and now again today. I have thought of your family often and tell myself “This is just small potatoes!” You are showing us what it means to be hardy!) Thank you!

This was absolutely wonderful! So peaceful and tranquil. And as I was watching it, thinking "I wonder who is following him around with a camera " you cut into "the making of"! It was a hilarious part and shows how much effort goes into filming. Both parts were very enjoyable! Merry Christmas!

[@cherylcarlson3315]

While the first part was gorgeous it took me a bit to get past the blistering cold windstorm in US and remember good winter in woods. Then realized you weren't alone because of camera angle and was happy. But fully enjoyed the last bit,my favorite part of all great parts. Thank you for this beautiful gift. Be safe and warm
