It’s -3 C here in Missouri and thanks to your channel I’m not complaining! Your cheery disposition in the harshest of climates is so inspiring. Your videos really do teach people all over the world how to love winter! 🥶 💝❄️⛄️

Everything is always OK with Kristofer. He is so laid back and even-keeled. I love it. Very stoic.

[@jiros00]

Very Scandinavian way.

We are having little flurries of snow here in Scotland, nothing like the storms you get on Svalbard, your home always looks so cosy, Grim is so brave going out in all that snow💞🐾 Your decorations are beautiful 🎅

[@annglaister]

We’re also having terrible storms here in England nothing like our Scottish cousins but still terrible the house is shaking !!” But we stay cosy with candles, delicious food , and beautiful log burning stoves 😃😃❄️❄️🎄🎄

Lady Aurora put a great show! Loved seeing the Pleiades and Taurus glittering like never before. Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us. 🎄💙🌙🐾☃️

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

It was an incredible aurora show 😍

[@JaimieJo]

I'm imagining Grim saying 'Okay, take me home now!' You're a brave gal in the blizzard. I love the tradition you have of opening a present everyday for Advent. And of course the Northern lights as the backdrop at the end of the video are just absolutely beautiful! Stay safe out there! 💕🐕‍🦺🐾🐾🎄❄️

[@tanyadaniels7910]

Halo from South Africa. I love snowy weather but we only have sub tropical weather here. Lots of love🥰

[@alangregoryvitek]

There’s something so comforting about the aurora - it’s like a friend living in the sky that melts away loneliness. I hope to see it for real one day

[@sirvegetable]

I was literally thinking the exact same thing. It’s like Gods gift of friendship and beauty for those living in areas with long periods of darkness

[@vk2ig]

The aurora really is beautiful ... ... but I also cannot help thinking of the megamps (yes, millions of amps) of Bjerklund sheet current involved in that process too - absolutely mind-blowing!

[@rowlandcannon1580]

Happy to see the little Santa have a companion! Toward the end, the view you captured of the stars behind the Northern Lights above the cabin is so beautifully magical!

[@papabear562]

I am definitely thinking of visiting up there when the lights come back on. :-) I would love to try and live there when I retire, and that could be as soon as next year.

[@kimm3385]

I would love to visit

[@erntefreude]

My wonderful sister, who lives in Seattle, is spending a year in Minnesota. She's freezing her butt off, so I sent her your Swedish Christmas Vblog.... Your videos are somehow soothing, beautiful and fun, too. I bet my soooo busy sister gets hooked on your channel! She loves dogs, too. Thank you so much, Celcilia.

[@christybirling3299]

I can't get over the images of the aurora AND the bright sparkly stars. It's almost surreal. Love how Grim is almost oblivious to the brutal weather. Such a cutie.

[@athena12373]

Mrs. Clause 🤶🏼with her hiking stick is so precious along side the baking Santa 🎅🏼. A perfect set of you and Christoffer. The twinkling stars in the sky along with the aurora were magnificent. So bright and sparkly. 💚

[@trishhobbsphillips3164]

Brilliant. I adore you Cecilia, but honestly, I come here for GRIM! I am obsessed! He is so beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️

[@arctic_haze]

Well, a walk with the dog in the Svalbard winter looks like something Amundsen would do.

[@bobbichaney2740]

You can tell Gim loves every min of it being outside in the wind and snow. He goes from fluff to super fluff.

[@italkyouwalk]

The aurora looks insane! Even the stars in the sky are so so bright and beautiful!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

It was incredible!!

[@jaiden9204]

I'm surprised people ask why you keep Grim on a leash! With all the wildlife and that weather, there's no way I'd be comfortable letting any domesticated animal out alone/without restraint.

[@krissteel4074]

In that kind of blowy weather its also important that he doesn't get blasted off the land into the atlantic ocean some place as well :)

[@claindastuart6790]

Ikr! Can you imagine having to look for him in that weather?

[@katiee2725]

I live in a part of California where it’s super warm and we don’t get snow and this looks like a dream. I want to visit one day to experience all of the beauty.

[@CamVer07]

Grim :-) Have you ever filmed what he does when you are asleep? He's such a character... we love him.

[@--Valentina-]

I am 100% a winter person so enjoying your vlogs tremendously! ✨🥰🎄

[@marymac1646]

I completely understand why you keep your beautiful dog on a leash at this time of year. You love him, it's cold and dark out there, and to protect the other animals. That view of the Northern lights was fabulous....thanks! I wish you a happy holiday season in your lovely home!

[@sherylchapman4168]

I am a Canadian girl who has moved from the warmest part of Canada to coldest. I usually hibernate in the winter but your videos have inspired me to get out an embrace my new winter town. I even bought my family a Norwegian kick sled to play with this year. They have harnesses for pet dogs which I thought you might like. I could easily see you whipping up and down your street on one. Great exercise for grim.☺️

[@imperfectvegan5724]

Love that you are concerned for the wild animals as well as sweet Grim when you go on your walks!

[@WarpFactor999]

Seasons Greetings Cecilia and Christopher (and of course the Grim one)! Grim is definitely a winter woofer. Suggestion: get a GPS tracker for Grim's collar. If he were ever to take off, you'd be able to find him... Great northern lights! Cheers from Texas! We had a cold snap...only 67F here. Might have to get my jacket out. ;o)

[@janvanholten7592]

You have to love Svalbard and the way of living here. What I want to ask you for a long time, what safety precautions did you take to prevent a Polar Bear entering your house? Or attempt to?

[@papabear562]

Good question, I've wondered that as well.

[@hazeleyeartist]

I don't live there but I would imagine polar bears really don't want to have to break into houses. They look pretty content just walking by looking for their own dinner. Maybe if they left a bunch of food outside, they might come up to the house and it could get dangerous, but otherwise they look like they mind their own business. Correct me if I'm wrong Cecilia.

[@thorin5591]

I live at 62 degrees north at Yellowknife Canada. The weather we get here is very cold, average high is -22 degrees celsius and low is -30 degrees celsius, it dropped down to -40 degrees celsius earlier in December. And in terms of temperature here in Yellowknife is colder than longyearbyen and yellowknife is located 16 degrees further south. Oh and we also get quite a bit of blizzards in the winter and the snow stays from October-May.
