AvE, Merry Christmas to you and your family and a heartfelt thank you for all the entertainment you've provided us over the years.

[@alexbartman4081]

Thanks for stoking up the old stove for us uncle bumble as it does warm the soul this very evening! Just the tip and only for a min but sometimes thats all it takes... thanks for the years of mishap and adventure and I hope this festive season finds you well sir.

Been waiting for this years Stories from Uncle Bumblefire

You know Ave is cooking when you have to turn down the volume so certain family members don’t hear what he’s saying

[@HomeElephant]

My better half just yelled from the kitchen, "What did you say?"

Sounds like a relationship building moment lost. Uncle BF is here for us all. ... Mostly 😂👌

[@deepinmind83]

@@joebob4943I thought this was a heartwarming story about "the good ol' days." I'd play this for my kids and grammy, ey? AvE keeping us warm by the fire, don't cha know?

Thank You again for everything AvE. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends this Holiday Season.

Watching steady flames during fire ban season in South Oz sends a chill down my spine, which is actually a relief from the ballbags of sweat that is an Aussie Christmas. Beer and prawns to all. Merry Christmas AvE

37C forecast for Christmas Day and 42C on Boxing Day. I’m planning a very early start on the coldies to beat the heat and the in-laws.

It was an immaculate injection

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I love these stories more than anything. Hoping for Junkie Christmas again but if not its cool.

[@brandongould6294]

For sure enjoy these. The remittance man is an oft-overlooked part of the history of western Canada and the US both. Up to and including many who theorize the Mad Trapper of Rat River was a remittance man that turned to violence. Used to hear references to the odd one around here in northern MT, typically they were viewed cautiously or from a distance and most of the stories the old folks tell revolved around them being odd or awkward and usually playboys. Taking a native wife occasionally or having a string of girls to help them spend some dough, but never making much of their actual farmstead. Love these stories, please keep 'em up.

[@GlenStoner]

You know it the Yuletide When AvE starts up with the fireside stories. Looking forward to a few more good yarns.

[@veejaybomjay8145]

That was beautiful! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Moral of the story:) It takes a whole lotta people,but I don’t think we need but half of them.

[@sac58999]

Thank you Uncle Bumble. I needed to hear that. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@davidskiffington7039]

We had a similar breed down here in the antipodes. Around the same time your story was set, one of our local delinquent gentlemen was libeled by a colonial newspaper. He sued, and the judge found in his favour. Such was the value of his reputation, the magistrate awarded him a ha penny in damages.

Hey AVE. I'm a CNC programmer from the great state of NJ. I don't know if you remember a few years back you uploaded a reading on Christmas of One William S. Burrow's a junkie Christmas. Do you think you could reupload that video. I've searched for it but it's nowhere to be found. I fingered it's probably pretty close too your confused and it would do pretty well for the confused. Love your vijeho buddy. Peace

[@mattwoodford5442]

Spinning yarns and recitations was what you did in those times before radio. If you could not sing or play an instrument you had to have a way to contribute. My father was from a poor family , his recitations were amazing. Will never forget his rendition of “ Face on the bar room floor “ . Robert Service. Bard of the NORTH.

[@WOFFY-qc9te]

Many merry returns of the season to you and yours. A great many thanks for pearls of wisdom and just overall awesome juju vibes over the years.

[@bc30cal99]

Good evening from the south Okanagan, thanks for the story. My grand parents came to southern western Saskatchewan and south eastern Alberta before WWI, so roughly that time frame. My late father was born in a sod house there and he lived long enough to go from horse and buggy to watching someone land on the moon. They were tough people to survive that environment in those conditions. All the best to you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@peterhaan9068]

Ah, the good ole days! I remember back when I could travel the world on my remittance check... from the once great state of Cali's Office of Unemployment Benefits.

[@onetireonfire2777]

My great grandfather and his brother came out from Ontario to Northeast Saskatchewan in 1911-1912 to homestead and break the bush for farmland. It’s crazy to me that both of them fought in the First World War only a few years later, lucky they both survived. They seem like a different breed of human to me.

This story reminds me of my Mother in Law, who is 95 years old, she tells her great grandchildren and great great grandchildren stories of coming across the plains in the covered wagons and always having to fight off constant Indian attacks, Much like Santa Clauses it’s not till they’re older do they realize it’s just a yarn.

So I'm sitting here in bed with my wife as the sun rises watching this video with the audio muted, reading the subtitles. And I realize I'm going to have to watch the video again with the audio on, because AVE's voice is where things happen.

I've read quite a bit of Wild West history.... One thing I noticed is many of the cattle rustlers who were troublesome ended up being blue bloods. One reason vigilantism was frowned upon is the Law wanted to de facto ransom them before they could find them guilty and hang them.

there's the real life of "lord" darrell duppa , an English adventurer, who supposedly received some kind of family remittance from Great Britain (he always had money but didn't work or have a profession) ... he was shipwrecked in south america and made his way to the "wild west"... he's credited with naming many of the famous geological features and cities (notably the city of Phoenix, where his home is still located )... he rode with most of the famous arizona "wild west" legends and was friends with the King Woolsey and Jack Swilling... the best story that i was told by old timers about him was how he held off an apache raid on his ranch... they wanted a shipment of whisky which he had but he was able to hold them at bay until he drank the entire shipment and at which point the apaches realized their raid was worthless to continue... (edit... i'm always amazed that a movie hasn't been made about him... he was an amazing character)
