I am grateful to have ran into your channel. Your family videos keep me hopeful and bring me up when I am down. Especially now that finals are next week. Thank you!!! Happy Holidays 😊

[@snl8665]

I am so thankful for you. I really do feel like you have made me feel a part of your family. Thank you!!!!

[@angelaguenther38]

Jarrad I am so glad that you are not afraid to cry. There are so many men out there who think that a man crying is so un-masculine. I think it is so nice that a man can cry and show the emotions that God has given him. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you Jarrad.

[@bobshaw4063]

Angela I agree . Thank You that is me to a T. Jared brought tears to my eyes . I'm not ashamed one bit to cry or tear up if I feel the need to do so . I just the let the tears roll and feel better afterwards for doing so .

[@angelaguenther38]

@@bobshaw4063 Thank you Bob Shaw. My husband is the same way, not ashamed to cry when feels the need.

[@elisapetras8136]

Looks like you all had a great day. It's nice to see that you aren't afraid to do Thanksgiving alone. Sometimes in a large family, it's important to take the time out and make your own family memories.

[@ellieandjared]

Yes, it was fun for us! We loved it! We also love being with family and can see the fun of both for sure!

[@annadimartino2726]

This is so true! Me and my husband love flying home for holidays but at the same time it’s so special when it’s just me him and our two boys. Happy holidays guys!

[@EarlsFamilyVlogs]

Loved that you guys said what you were grateful for and were so genuine with it all. Shows how genuine and caring you guys are! I am so glad you guys had such an intimate and perfect Thanksgiving!!

Jackson is seriously the sweetest little boy. He has such an old soul. It’s so refreshing to see.

[@carlywood698]

I feel like I’m in your family, Bonnie’s, 8 passengers, Julie, all of you. You guys are truly something special and you will never know how much joy you bring to me. You all inspire me and I’m thankful for you

[@ilanitadani4946]

Every year I'm waiting for Jared's speeches about the others who have no family. I have a very small family and we don't celebrate holidays. Someday, when I'll have my own family, I will remember your words and know that this hard time right now of life passed and good days will come. Every year I'm thanking you for your beautiful words. So thank you. ❤

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you!

Oh my lord. I’m thankful that you and your family decided to do this every day. I love watching good people every day. It hit me in my feels when little Jackson said he was thankful for his life. You two are doing an amazing job raising those boys and it shows. It sure shows.

[@smileyrulesinthe818]

JARED MECHAM I can’t get enough of you! You could have kept going and going and I would not get bored and your beautiful strong wife Ellie and kids . I don’t have words to express how amazing your family is. Words fall to short in expressing how lovely you guys are. I am thankful for you guys because your family spreads so much good and joy around this world through KZbin. Thank you for being you and please never change.

Being a first year college student, it's been a difficult journey being away from home. But I can honestly say that your family makes me feel as though I'm a part of a loving, accepting community. Thank you guys!!!

when i was really little i alwaaays told my mom i was going to marry her hahaha. then as i got older i changed that goal and said we were gonna buy two houses connected to each other and cut a doorway through the wall so we could live together lol. so sweet!

[@trishapriddy3091]

I hope you do read this. I do not have family in my life at all. Im very ill, disabled, shut-in. For last 4 yrs+, I have watched your journey. Each day, you are the family that I check-on. I cannot turn off the lights until I know how the "kids" are doing. You, and each couple in your families, have blessed my life so much! I am thankful, that even though, its just in my heart, I can have family life you! God bless you & each family of your 2 families.

Jared, you made me cry, too. I am one of those who no longer get to have traditional holidays with family like I did when I was younger. I feel like you have become my family. Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to every day! Got my cookbook, but waiting til Christmas to open it...SO EXCITED! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

[@brittanyfranklin2285]

Jared thank you so much for saying that about the channel for those who can't be with family these holidays. I'm American and live in Australia with my husband and his family which means I never get to be with my own family during the holidays (It's been over 6 years). It never gets easier, but it helps having people like you out there letting us know we aren't alone

[@GinA7887]

You guy's should never apologize for being grateful! you two are always so sincere Jared you never cease to amaze me with your positive attitude everyday! it's truly contagious!!

[@alisonw7802]

It always means a lot to me when you acknowledge that not everyone is as fortunate as you to be surrounded by your family and extended family. I've been without parents my entire adult life. I'm 54 and blessed to have a son. I love watching your videos and feeling like I'm part of a bigger family that I care about! 💙💚💛

[@watermark086]

When you said that you were grateful for the trials we overcome, the lessons we have learned. I really thought you were saying the 'prayer' they said in the series Sister (in a Thanksgiving episode) I really loved this video, seeing people being grateful with what they have and also recognize the blessings they have.

Thank you Jared & Ellie for your vlog and in a virtual way being a part of your family.

Dealing with severe clinical depression, and multiple sclerosis there isn't much of that in my life - thank you.

Awe! I’m grateful for you guys and your examples! I’m grateful for my own little family and for our opportunities that allow us to do more for others. 😢 This is a happy tear because even though I can’t spend it with my own family, I do feel that spirit you guys bring across. Love you all so much and thank you again for allowing us to see little bits of your lives. ♥️

[@zuzekarbuzek7056]

I made the mistake of watching this in public and totally bawled my eyes out in front of other people. Days like these certainly remind of how important and wonderful family can be, but I’m grateful those who don’t have anyone to celebrate with were also included by you, Jared. It was lovely to watch this video ❤️ Wishing you all the best this Holiday season!

Ellie and Jared I’m so thankful for you. For the joy you bring to so many lives and the joy you bring to my life. You will never know how much I have learned from you and your family. You were the first channel I found of the 6 family channels your extended family has. And the lessons I’ve learned- both big and small- through the 15 minutes a day you share will seriously stay with me the rest of my life. Thank you so much for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm a 22 Mexican girl and thanksgiving is not our tradition, but having so much family from the usa we always end up celebrating with them! This thanksgiving my mother passed away and i was so thankful for every family member that took time to go and said goodbye and i am thankful for the time god shared my mom with me, i am thankful for all the little jokes she used to make and i am thankful for teaching me to love like herself: with no conditions and over every trouble there could ever be. And i am thankful to you guys because you have allowed me to wish for a better future and have a family as sweet as yours

I was thinking about it today and it’s really crazy how much ur live can change over time. Especially a time frame like 5 years think about how much ur life has changed in a span of 5 years. Like E and J u guys were struggling with infertility and now u have 3 great kids. I was at my old school and neighborhood getting ready to move to a new place getting ready to adjust to the new things in life and preparing to say goodbye to my life in that town. And now I have so many friends and know so many things been through so much. Have made so many memories and have experienced so much. It’s crazy how fast time flies and what changes and how it changes.

Wow that was so emotional ! I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in my country but I still wanna spread the I am grateful for... As a young student under the pressure of a lot of things: fear of failure, relationships, social media, future... I often just think of what I don’t have and complain about it... instead of being genuinely grateful for what I have... and enjoying every little moment and opportunities that life gives me... This vlog helped me to remember how lucky I am to be a healthy young woman that is able to wake up every morning, study, eat and have fun. I am truly grateful for my mother who is my best friend and my hero, for my passion for cooking, for my health condition, for some of my dreams that are slowly coming truth and last but not least for the discovery of your channel more than 3 years ago... Don’t change anything guys... you bring joy to a lot of people including me... it is nice to see that genuine nice people like you still exist ❤️🇨🇭
