A White Christmas in a Vintage Cottage🎄Cozy Snow Day Q&A❄️

[@itsacharminglife]

What is the spirit of Christmas to you?🌟 Thank you for all your wonderful comments this year that always warm our hearts and feel like the most special gift when we read them💌

[@catzdollz9810]

What is the "Spirit of Christmas" to me: I come from a family of 12. I'm the eldest child. Because of a clinically diagnosed Paranoid schizophrenic mother, the entire family has gone their separate ways..each of us either completely alone OR in a small private family setting..never reaching out to Re-connect with any blood relatives. I HAVE LEARNED late in life (past 60) that Christmas still comes, no matter the circumstance because it's not about with whether we are surrounded by lights, so-called "friends", hostile "family" or jealous co-workers...it's about the coming into this world, in the flesh, of THE PRINCE of PEACE, to give us hope, to release us from eternal darkness. HE.. is the LIGHT of the WORLD. To this fact, my spirit soars and my shout is HALLELUJAH AMEN!!!!

[@lewisnapton8399]

I don't know either of you, and I never will, but I love you both. Have the most beautiful Christmas. I realize he is sleeping Winter away, but please try to give Tibby a hug for me.

[@itsacharminglife]

Aww Tibby is missed for Christmas 🐿️🎄

[@lawriefoster5587]

Favorite foods...my Mother's old family Christmas cookies and my Father's wee drammie of Scotch by the fire. Bless them both for the memories which they gave to me.

[@thebrodabode73]

The spirit of Christmas for me is all about the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I also enjoy the coziness of home and cooking and baking. There is just so much spirit at Christmas

My little girl just turned 8 years old on the 15th. She was born premature and only 1lb 10oz. It was the hardest, scariest time of my life. I prayed constantly for a sign that she would be ok. On Christmas Eve, my husband and I were flipping the channels trying to find something to watch and found Judy Garland right in the moment of Meet Me in St Louis when she sings Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. I have adored Judy since I was a little girl. It hit me so hard and I cried, while my husband held me. After the song, I looked out the window and it was snowing for the first time. I overwhelmingly felt peace and just knew she would be ok. Your video about first snows and how you cry at White Christmas reminded me of that. I just think you both are just lovely people. Thank you always for your sweet videos❤️Merry Christmas!

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

That's beautiful that God sent you that sign during that trying time. Blessings to you and your family.

[@luludi3]

@@JeanStAubin-nl9uo thank you so much, your comment made me smile. It was such a reminder to look for the signs from God. Blessings to you too and Merry Christmas!

The spirit of giving to me is giving. It brings me such joy that I hate to see the last gift opened that I have given. But aside from the joy of gift giving the giving of my time and the special time spent with those I love.

You both make the world a brighter place and I cannot imagine two people more with the Spirit of Christmas in their hearts all the year long than you two. What a gift you both are for inspiring kindness, thoughtfulness and love. God bless and Merry Christmas!

Hello and Merry Christmas. I am new to your channel and immediately began sobbing when you mentioned Wreaths Across America. Each year, that amazing organization places a wreath on the grave of my father, who was a WWII veteran. Thank you for the work you do with them, for supporting Wreaths Across America and for the shout out to them. I am recently widowed, and watching your channel tonight has brought me some much-needed Christmas cheer. Thank you and bless you.

Christmas is about hope and family and nature. The light returning with Solstice and the Christ Child born bringing hope to humanity are both such powerful promises...the light always returns and love prevails. The traditions in family bind us to each other from year to year. I treasure my memories of years past with family who have left this world. And I feel so blessed to share the family traditions with my siblings and my children... the thread of creativity, joy, and love continues. Being in nature, watching the changes, enjoying the season is soul nurturing and inspiring for me. Thank you so much for all of the beauty you add to our lives with your videos. Thanks for sharing your lives with us....and may the coming year bless you abundantly!

[@itsacharminglife]

Happy New Year! :)

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I would love Jonas to share the recipes for the cabbage dish and the Swedish meatballs with a tutorial! Oh, please! The spirit of Christmas to me is honoring memories and traditions and recipes and decorations that have be handed down from family or passed to us from friends. I take care to keep it going with my children and grandchildren. (Every year I look forward to unpacking the tree ornaments- most especially the bell cut from an egg carton, covered in foil, hung by a red pipe cleaner that my son proudly made in Kindergarten. He’s 41 now! I still hang that creation on my tree every year.) Merry Christmas to both of you!

[@Helenemonblogdefille]

Merry Christmas and God Jul to you ! I hope you are ok with that snow storm and blizzard !

[@sdmsdm7926]

If you want to go back in time, to a time your parents & grandparents can most likely remember then watch A Christmas Story, made in 1983, (the film takes place in the 40’s & it’s a look back at America & how middle class life was back then especially around the Holidays...don’t know how you guys are holding up in a place with no fireplace in the bitter cold we’ve been having...I’m in the Northeast as well & it’s colder here in some areas than it is in Alaska! Happy Holidays!

[@lawriefoster5587]

Yes, I like the ancient carols and Gregorian chants at Christmas/Yule. They present the Spiritual Christmas, the Dark Holiness as it were. Do.have a Blessed Christmas and Magickal Yuletide.

[@martindurkin8837]

Christmas to me is helping others and just being kind and then carrying that spirit into the New Year. Oddly enough I am the one who needs real help as I'm about to lose my home and all else but helping others makes me feel better. Love to you both.

[@JamieSantos]

I am so very sorry to hear this. I hope you have family to help you. If not, then please reach out to the Churches and Salvation Army for immediate help. God bless and Merry Christmas.

First of all my family and I celebrated St. Lucia day for the first time...in a small town in TX. Ty for inspiring this wonderful tradition. The Spirit of Christmas to me is the warmth you feel from your loved ones present and past. We honor those that are no longer with us by making food that they used to make. We put out their ornaments as well.. everything in my house has a story behind it. Merry Christmas to you both and ty for the beautiful videos you make to put smiles into our hearts. You two are truly gifts to all of us. Many happy blessings for a wonderful new year.

Merry Christmas. Please pray for me this Christmas, things are difficult on me at this time. But as I continue to struggle putting groceries in my refrigerator and paying bills. I keep my faith in Jesus. Christmas is the day we celebrate our LORD AND SAVIOR. I have know God will see me through this hard time. Both of my children are autistic, I’m overwhelmed at times. Thankfully I put all my trust in Jesus. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so thankful to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I’m ashamed I can’t buy my children anything this years. I have faith God will provide. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Please pray for me and my children.

[@MyFairyGardens]

Praying right now that God will make a way where there seems no way and that your heart and home will overflow in an abundance of blessings. Stay strong and keep looking up. Please check with your local church for help. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I do understand hard times.

[@rosalineslon6910]

Creator of all things in the name of your beloved son Jesus Christ and with the power of your Infinite Holy Spirit of Truth we are asking that you open the doors of favor and abundance over this family to show the world that you take care of your children for your honor and glory and we want to see it.

[@itsmewende]

Speaking of movies, if you haven't seen..It Happened on 5th Ave...it's a wonderful old B&W. Does Sleepy Hollow have a house tour.? Since the late '90's I've been going to the most charming village near me...St. Micheal's Maryland...the homes are all decorated with fresh greens, most offer some type of treats & drinks, it's a wonderful day out. Noticed Dean Martin on your play list, my mom loved him, I woke up to his Christmas album every yr. For me the spirit of Christmas is remembering my childhood Christmases, and hanging ornaments that came to America with my German ancestors.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

Did the "God Jul" squirrel ornament come from Sweden? How old is the oldest tombstone in your cemetery? You showed one with lichen on it so I'm thinking that it's a very early cemetery. Thank you for volunteering to put wreaths on the graves of the soldiers. This was very relaxing to watch. Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year!

Merry Christmas, Seems great to have snow on Christmas. But also super cold! 11 degrees here right now. ' What is the spirit of Christmas to me?" Love and family, home and friends is Christmas. But the Love of our Lord brings love for us all and everlasting life for everyone who wants it. We are all one and we really enjoy just having each other. If we can LOVE and find peace, I think we actually may have it all!? My husband and I have always invited family and friends to dinner and especially if we should know of anyone that really does not have anyone to be with at Holiday time and share maybe a plate of food or have them visit or whatever would work out best. (Many people do not have a family and they are elderly, even more so than we are, and families live too far etc, so they do need some help at Holiday times, as they will be depressed and maybe not have a meal even? Or not want to bother to go to such work?) Even a plate of homemade cookies, and just things like this are even welcomed often. Just need to make sure they are not diabetic and need non sugar treats. This brings in love, sharing and caring, as we never know when we can be on other end of this spectrum of needs either.
