Happy New Year Tipper and Matt Spending time with family is always something special. Hope you get rid of the sickness now. I enjoyed watching the video of Mr.Tony Ty’s for the video .

[@surrethauebel1682]

We put our tree up the week before Christmas because we observe Advent. We take it down after January 6, Feast of the Epiphany (Little Christmas). Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Praying for a speedy recovery for Matt.

[@woodproshopus]

Ma'am, your health comes first! Take all the time you need to recover-we’ll all be here when you’re feeling better. Happy New Year! Although, I don't feel any holidays this season, too many things to take care of and to be worried about. Need to escape to the mountains to feel better.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you! I hope things improve!!

[@terrihart2133]

I put bugels in my chex mix and crispix . Yum. I love the Christmas lights for New Years. I love them so much

Bless your heart! I have that same cough. But I was able to go to work today after a week on the couch. I’m thankful for your family and the channels. Hope you all have a great new year! One of my goals for 2025 is a gratitude journal. By 1-1-26 I want to have 365 testimonies to be thankful for… even if it’s one line or even one word daily…. God is so good to me!

[@FrancesWooten]

Thank you for sharing the wisdom sayings. One really meant a lot to me during this holiday season. “Remember you’re never alone. God is always with you “ I know this in my head but my heart feels so alone after loosing my husband of 50 years. I always enjoy your videos. You have a beautiful family.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Frances. I know you miss him so!! I wish you hadn’t lost him.

The gift from Corie sounds SO lovely. I am VERY sentimental myself, and I would've squalled my head off.....yes I'm a big ole cry baby for sure!

[@lindajones3056]

Love the Christmas gifts of Pap & Ms Cindy's shirts. I'm working on a quilt using my husband's jeans, shirts & my dad's shirts. Memories flood my mind as I work on it.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

What a treasure that will be!!

[@janh519]

My mother made a “Butterfly Quilt” for me when I was in elementary school. At that time, she made most all of my dresses, so she cut the butterflies from scraps of my dress fabrics and appliquéd them onto squares of white fabric for the quilt. She set the quilt up with solid colored strips of fabric between the white squares. It’s beautiful and I still have the quilt!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

@@janh519 What a treasure!!

[@darleneholtrop4532]

I remember one year when Dad's factory union had been on strike and my brothers and I were talking about all the toys that we wanted, not thinking of all of the sacrifices our parents were already making to keep us housed and fed. Mom said maybe we'd just get socks and underwear for Christmas, and told us how thrilled she had been to receive a Big Chief writing tablet and an orange from Florida when she was a kid! Fewer toys could be purchased that year, and Mom actually included wrapped packages of new socks and underwear under the tree for us to open on Christmas morning. She taught us that gratitude for God's provision of what we need - especially His own Son to be our Savior - was what Christmas is all about!

[@debbiecryan4882]

We've normally kept it up until the weekend of the 1st. My mom used to keep it up for "Little Christmas" of the Feast of the Epiphany, which is January 6th. Hoping you get to feeling better soon! Blessings to you all and Granny 💖

[@riverduck3]

I just saw on Twitter (X) that 62 Amish men traveled from Pennsylvania to Boone, NC, and in just 48 hours built 12 houses, all on their own dime! God bless each and every one of them!

Hey Tipper, thank you for coming on today, being sick and all. Glad you're feeling better. Just hoping it doesn't go beyond Matt. I got mine on December 1st and lasted a little over a week. Well, it's almost a new year. There are no parties for me. I like to just lay low. Have a good week. My prayers go out to everybody.

Happy New Year to you and the Pressley clan, Tipper, and happy birthday to Paul! Our family tradition was to put the tree up on Christmas Eve and take it down on January 6, which we called "Three Kings" but is also known as Epiphany, Twelfth Night, or Old Christmas.

Tipper, praying for you all to get over the creepin’ crud!!! There’s so much going around. Here in middle Tennessee, it’s horrible! I started drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water every night, it’s supposed to boost immunity! It really was a sweet video with Papaw Tony. Seeing his eyes water up when you shared how he doesn’t charge for his electrician work, made me cry!!! Such a sweet and humble man, just like Matt! Y’all truly have a beautiful family ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you and great tip about the vinegar 😊

[@staceybranom]

Thank you so much for reading the wisdom from my family, I shared this video with them. I love all Christmas songs, both religious and secular but O Holy Night is special. My favorite rendition is by Nat King Cole, every time I hear him sing it, it makes me very emotional and I cry. Love to all, Stacey

[@lindabuchanan1185]

Tipper, I'm so sorry to hear that you and Matt aren't feeling well. 🙏 I pray that you both feel better soon. 🙏 I really enjoyed watching your Christmas videos. 💕 You all made so many different delicious things for your supper together.😋 I thought that the Christmas ornaments that Corie had made for you and Granny were so beautiful and unique. 💖 The little books with pictures that Katie made for you were so sweet, too. 💝 All things that you will cherish forever. 💞 I listened to Paul and Granny singing Christmas songs, and they were so beautiful. 😊💓 During these busy and happy times, I continue to pray for everyone affected by the storms and all the helpers and volunteers that their needs and prayers are answered. 🙏 I pray that you and all your family have a blessed and Happy New Year 2025! ✨️🙏🌟

[@Randee04]

Good morning and thank you for your video today. I too received the crud and also didn't ask for it! How rude of it to show up but I'm feeling better too. I was diagnosed with Strep and that too is much better. Our good health is the most important thing, and I do what I can to keep (and improve) it! I love that so many of the ingredients you use are organic and healthy. You are an inspiration to me and so many.

I'm glad you're feeling better. I think all the stress and bustle tends to lessen our resistance to bugs that come along. I remember the one where you talked about all the names for viruses or bugs we get. It's amazing how strong genes run in a family. So cool to find pics/videos you didn't know existed. Thanks so much for continuing to share with us! Much love from SC, Jane ❤️ 🙏

Glad you’re feeling better and hope you continue to get completely well soon. I did enjoy the interview with Papaw Wilson. I thought he reminded me of Matt, but I agree he favored Ms Cindy a little more. My granddaughter is a New Year baby too. I took my Christmas decorations down yesterday. I’m going to down size my Christmas decorations and tree so will probably be cleaning out closets too so I can reorganize. Y’all did have a blessed year with prayers answered. Looking forward to getting ready for the garden. Great video, I keep missing it during the live stream time.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for watching!!

[@ReginaCoeliJMJ]

I am Catholic. Traditionally, Christmas (and still today in our church) doesn't start in July or September it started at midnight on Christmas Eve to Christmas morning. Then Christmas season lasts til February. The 12 days of Christmas song started on Christmas and goes thru to the Epiphany (when the Wise Men went to Jesus). Some Catholics don't exchange gifts under the Epiphany, January 6th.... true history is full of a lot of wonderful lost good and holy practices.

[@lisaboling5336]

Yes I listened to Paul singing O Holy Night......cried like a baby. It's my favorite and he did it so beautifully.

I'm late watching your video. Better late than never. The cruds was a common saying on my husband's side of the family. And due to the cruds, we haven't had our Christmas yet. But I know everything is in God's hands. I love hearing the different words of wisdom. Being quiet doesn't come easy for me. We're all a work in progress, but I have to do my part. Thank you so much for this video even though I missed you live. Continued prayers for everyone, and may you all be blessed with a Happy and healthy New Year!!! 🕛🎊 Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄

[@brendabennett3041]

Hey tipper enjoyed the video. Sorry you’re under the weather a little tip. If you will take an onion and slice it very thin lay each piece into a jar and spread some honey on each layer topping it with honey on the top put a lid on it and let it see it for several hours. This will make a natural cough syrup and it will stop that cough but you do have to take it on a regular basis throughout the day. Also, I am going to be making your Irish tater cake tomorrow to have for New Year’s Day. Can’t wait to taste it love your family and your videos.👍🏼

Hope you all are feeling well soon. Our family has been fighting it for the past couple of weeks as well. In addition to modern medicine I find using folk medicine also helps. Mullen tea with honey is the folk version of mucus relief pills. I like to add mint to it as well to take away the grassy taste. I also mix it with ginger and lemon tea.
