Christmas At The Cabin... 🎄

[@mikemecklenborg5412]

Two of our five kids will be home for Christmas. Small but cozy. Only put up a tree this year. My wife's best friend passed from Cancer so we have been helping her husband and daughter with reorganizing the house. Boy did she have a lot of nick naks, quilting machines and quilting material. With all the added stuff going on we are making this a simple Christmas. Loved the video and Merry Christmas to your family.

[@pambump6060]

Merry Christmas Pete Sr and Carol, Pete Jr, Dan and Lando, Caroline and Matt too!! May God continue to bless you all in the new year and the years to come!🎄

[@stevehori673]

Merry Christmas, you are an epic family! Carol the bubble lights on the tree brought back wonderful Christmas memories when I was a little boy. I thought they were magic. Looking forward to an exciting 2025.

[@jongarr6610]

75YO from TEXAS-USA. Ahhhh Bubble lights - remembering when I was maybe 6YO when my mother purchased some and we had them on our live tree. Tjhey were a pain to get to stand straight so they would bubble, but once done - I would watch for hours. Real nice to see a family enjoying the good ole simple things - memories that will warm the heart for years to come. Mostly for the younger ones. Even the guys will remember a special time.

[@susanspence3029]

It is so wonderful to know one day we will share the best Christmas of all, when we can meet Him face to face with our loved ones who wait in Heaven's wondrous beauty.

Always fun to watch your adventures. Did want to mention that airboats are a great tool and easy to operate. That being said there are things you need to know and learn especially operating in open water and windy chop. Look forward to your next video. Cheers and Merry Christmas from Louisiana.

❤ The Christmasc I remember the most was the last one spent with my late husband who past with cancer. We had a nine foot tree in the front home window . I decorated the house family was coming I wanted it special for him and it was the best. I remember it like it was yesterday. I lost him the following year.

I LOVE when you guys share those annoying details - like complex logistics snarled by forgetfulness! Last summer I sat bolt upright in my rooftop tent having realized that I didn’t have my keys. I was at a camp in Montana over 1,000 miles from home. After hiking to the only spot with a cell signal and waking my son and figuring out the expensive details of how he could express ship the spare set somewhere that I could retrieve them - I retraced my steps and found them in my truck. I had set some gear on top of them so that they were hard to see. It’s so often the little things!

One of the biggest traditions is Christmas Brunch Soufflé. My grandmother’s recipe. My mother made it until my father passed away right before Christmas in 1989. She just couldn’t do it , so I’ve been making it since then. It’s gone from 1 pan to 3. The family has definitely grown

[@patriciapratley6773]

Happy Christmas to you all. Love your videos. By the way my husband thinks the merganser might have been a loon in winter plumage. 😍

[@EFRT]

We just learned that. Thank you for telling us. Loons are so beautiful. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas ✨

[@patriciapratley6773]

They are indeed. We saw them on a trip to Canada many years ago. One of my favourite birds. Happy holidays 🌲 🎅🏼

[@philnorthernhorizon9869]

Just a thought i always leave a spare key or fob hidden ont he vehicle somewhere in a waterproof bag for such time as this. Glad you ere able to resolve the problem easily but just in case it is worth having a spare with vehicle or even at dock. God bless you all and have a very Merry Christmas there.

You are a great family. Love your adventures. Could you possibly find another word other than Cozy to describe everything you do. Maybe ....warm, comfortable, inviting. Just a suggestion

If you are going to spend winters on the island you need to get an air boat. It’s as necessary as your gas and propane to self reliance. This needs to be a priority moving forward.

Feels good to have a full freezer 😃

[@timspero]

I was thinking what might be a good activity for the four of you to do while you're waiting for their ice is to study for your amateur radio license. Then you can put a repeater up on that Tower you have and you should be able to reach all the way to the marina. Maybe even farther and everywhere around the island. I know you have the zolio's but voice communication from anywhere in the area would be a big benefit. With the little walkie talkies you have they are only a few Watts where you could put a 40 to 100 Watt repeater. And the amateur licenses are good in the states and any other country you travel to where gmrs is not available everywhere

been here for along time, so cut me some slack. you live on an island surrounded by trees. trees and off the island as well. I had to laugh at the tree your boy picked out. The GOOD NEWS is Christmas is NOT about the tree, really. Its about the birth of Christ Jesus. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
