Boy,you really knocked out all those presents pretty quick. I’m going to dig out my French press and use it tomorrow. I’ve had it for a year and never used it. So glad to see Asher is doing better. As another fan responded, it’s so nice to see a good Christian couple with strong moral and family values. Merry Christmas to you all! Love your entire family!

I was raised in an Episcopal church, sang in the choir. but married a man who said he was a Christian but ended up NOT being one at all! When I went to Gonzaga University there was a class on Christian Marriages, and I toke it just so I would know was, looked like and felt like! I see those awesome feeling actions in your family!

I watch the 4-5 channels you mentioned. You are right about each of you bringing something different to the table. But, ya know girlfriend, I appreciate you so much. I grew up with a dad who retired from the military, my husband, nephew, all uncles…military each and every one were in all different services along with being Christians. I also live in the high desert but, closer to Edward’s AFB. Thanks for answering so many questions and so honestly. Merry Christmas to you, Joe, Parker, Kellen, Lexie, James and all fur babies. Been watching since your first greenhouse build in your backyard.🌲🎄✝️🎄🌲

Wow you’ve been with us for a long time!! Thank you! Merry Christmas.❤️❤️

Just wanted to say thank you for answering our questions and for being real. Hugs from a tropical country. 🥰

Of course!!❤️❤️

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Tina, I agree with you regarding the military, and marriage 100%. It isn't the same military at all! As for marriage...it wouldn't be a marriage without hard work on both sides of the relationship. Marriage is never 50-50% work, and I would never believe that percentage. Somedays it's 10 - 90%, 80 - 20%, 40-60%. It will always varies! This Q & A was nice, and at the same time you were able to wrap the gifts. I hope the boys don't get to watch this video....because we all know what their getting for Christmas I wanted to tell you, I purchased some products from Toups & Co., Organics after watching you talked about the tallow, and oils in a video. The cleaning oil, and tallow have made a major difference in my skin (I'm dealing with no thyroid, hypothyroidism, and bad skin issues). So, thank you talking about this product. I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying Toups & Co! It’s truly my favorite!❤️❤️ And the boys don’t get to access KZbin without our supervision so no worries there!☺️

[@Dstew57A]

It makes me sick what Joe and you went through at the end of Joes career. As a former military myself, I could nit agree with you more about the state of things in the Military…its not the same military I was in for sure. Thank you both for your time in Service. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

I pray that Kellen gets to grow up there with y'all. ❤

Ms. Tina! What a wonderful video! We love it when you just sit down and chat with us. 0:02 You’re so down to earth, and honest! It was so nice and calming. Just watching you wrap up gifts, and answering our questions with so much love and honesty. My grandson made me laugh so much, because he “challenged” you on one of the gifts. “She’s not going to be able to wrap that one well.” Omg! But you did!😂 It was one of the big Trucks. lol! Thank you so much! You have such a beautiful soul. MERRY CHRISTMAS! May God fill your home with happiness and peace! We love you!

[@kristihulsey4409]

My son, then 21, wanted to join the Navy or Air Force to be a pilot. He took his ASVAB and scored extremely high and was told he could do anything he wanted since he scored so high. He was all set to join and then the election happened. My son came to us and told us he didn't feel comfortable any longer with those in charge and said he had changed his mind about joining. We were a little disappointed but completely in agreement. Since then, we've seen things get even worse so I think it worked out for him. My family has had generations that have served in the military in every branch. We still have some of our young family in the military but I agree that today's military isn't what it used to be. Sadly, I don't even feel that today's military is capable of defending us. Thank you both for your service and God Bless you and your sweet family. Merry Christmas!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

The Lord was watching out for him. I too hoped my kids would join like Joe & I did. Not just to serve their country but to give them a solid foundation to build their lives on like it did for Joe & I. But I just can’t in good conscience encourage them to join under this administration. And sadly, I agree with you. I worry too about us being able to defend ourselves. I mean c’mon, men in skirts? No. That doesn’t scream strength, bravery & courage.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@carolholmes5565]

It's o k to show that you're not in a great mood. We are that way correct. But it's one way that we can pray for you is to see you struggle on Camera. it shows that you are human. And we know that and we love all of you. I can't wait to have a warm Christmas. I miss my home. I grew up in Australia. I live in America. I live in Ohio. it's okay and we love you. And we wanna see you for who you are and how God made you so we can pray for you as you pray for us. Thank you four honesty. thank you for serving our country. We need more people like you. Is merry christmas in a happy new year.

Thank you for the video Tina. You really hit home when you talked about your marriage with Joe. My husband and I have been together for 31 years, married 30 years next yr. He just retired 6 months ago. He was on the road truck driving the last 12 yr.'s. We are relearning how to get along. Our daughter moved out 8 months ago so it's just the two of us. We do better now than we ever have. It's almost like a new start for us. Not that's it's perfect but better than it was years ago. We both believe in God and boy that sure helps. lol Again thank you for the video and Merry Christmas Tina, Joe, Kellen, Parker, Lexxy and James. May you all have a wonderful Christmas.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Oh wonderful. I love to hear this. Ya know, Joe and I always tease and say, “Imagine if we would’ve given up years ago…we wouldn’t be here to see the best part of our marriage!”❤️❤️

The fact that 1 person can hold up very high ranking military promotions is ridiculous. I never knew Congress had to approve promotions except for the very highest. I think I heard something like 80 people had to wait many months because that one senator wouldn’t approve them. Shame on him.

[@anitahendershot3754]

Tina, loved this chat video because you put some real truth out there. The absolute truth about the missing ingredient in marriage “commitment”. The opposite of throw away marriages. Next marriage foundation is trust. Have you heard about the military calling back the unvaxed troops they kicked out? Boy, are they having to eat crow. I don’t think more than a handful of troops responded to the letters. You’ve shown that Christians are genuine people sin and all. We’re only different because our sin has been forgiven. Appreciate you Tina.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hi Anita, yes, I’ve seen several articles about them begging members to come back after kicking them out. Shameful. Just shameful.

[@beckybolar1543]

Hi Tina, being real is why y’all are my favorite channel. Going through challenges is what life is all about here on this earth. There is a better place where one day life will be perfect. Even Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble!” 2023 wasn’t my best year as far as my health…I experienced a cancer diagnosis in January, went through chemotherapy for 4 mos. But through all that the Lord has been so faithful and good to me. I couldn’t have gone through that challenge without Him. I totally missed getting a question in…I’ll ask now “How’s your Mom doing?” Again, have a Merry Christmas!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hi Becky. I’m very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I will pray for your healing & recovery. Every day is precious right?❤️❤️ My mom is not doing so well if I’m being honest. Unfortunately, her health is declining & her & I are not doing so well at the moment. It makes me very sad but we can’t change people that choose to live their lives in a specific way. She continues to lash out at those that love her the most. It’s affected me negatively for many years & this year has been especially tough. Anyway, very personal but you asked so I answered. I’ve decided to put up a boundary for myself & my family. The decision was not made lightly but time & time again my boundaries have been ignored & Ive just finally had enough. As a child I had no choice, but as an adult I don’t have to allow other’s to continue to hurt me. I just don’t. It makes me very sad, but this decision is healthier for me & our family. Merry Christmas friend.❤️❤️

[@beckybolar1543]

I’m doing well. I received a great report at my oncologist appointment this week. Praise the Lord. I’m so sorry to hear about what you are going through with your mom. I can’t even imagine! But God is able…to do in her life what she needs to make relationships right! I comment you for holding to your personal boundaries to keep yourself and family in a healthy place. I will be praying about this. Have a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 ❤

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

In order to ice skate on the pond, the pond would have to be kept clear of snow. And we currently have about 3ft of snow…and more coming all winter. Just not realistic to think we can keep all the snow cleared from the pond all winter long.☺️

[@charlielamb4606]

A a vet, I fully Agee.

[@jebo7697]

I was 14 years old when I knew I was going to the military. No family or faith to trust and believe in. I enlisted at 17 years old, and I was jumping out of airplanes before my 18th birthday. I will summarize my service in a few sentences. I served in two 75th Ranger Battalions, 1/75, and I was a founding member for the 3/75. I also was a drill sergeant and an operation coordinator in the Congo and Zaire Africa. I ended my military career in Special Forces. I did 21 years of active military service and another 20 years as a military contractor, I retired from all this in 2018. I respect the service and honor all patriotic military members that serve our country, but let's be real. All who served and are serving now are "tools" for the political elites. We all start out with something, God, country, and family. I started with "country," and I ended with God and family. I learned over the 40-plus years that the sure bet of "trust" is God and family. The country part will disappoint you. Our last warriors who died for a meaningful war that had a task and purpose died before 1945. Every conflict after WWII did not have winning as a task and served no purpose but to clean and laundry money. Every military life lost was for nothing. Every disabled veteran handicapped for what purpose! Election fraud, January 6 political prisoners, persecution of the 45th president, a uni-party cartel running the executive branch present day. The only solution to this tyrannical government is to put an end to the class warfare of the volunteer military and to enforce the draft. Ever citizens should have to serve in uniform. Use your platform to push for compulsory military service. Then, war death and injuries would have more meaning in real time and not this glamorous fictional hero status, assign to military veterans pass and present that is being suckered into risking life and limbs for political elites that have no loyalty to the citizens of this country. When all said military members are "tools," and when done, they will be used "tools." Do your research people, Biden, is a crook who will send folks into wars with no purpose to die or be injured. His son gets released from the military for drugs. Any other military person can never work for the government again, but Biden son becomes a multi millionaire off his daddy's government contacts.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

I once believed that every citizen should have to serve. But then I served with some of the most incompetent, immature, selfish & unethical people. Some people shouldn’t serve…they’re a danger to themselves and others. And Id never push for everyone being forced to serve under this current administration.

[@jebo7697]

@HomeFreeAlaska I do appreciate your comment thanks. I do understand what you're saying, but these people you speak of will continue to fly under the radar. Never being held accountable for their actions. The only way to ensure smart people are making smart decisions is to ensure everyone is in line waiting to do their duty. If all people had children and grandchildren, brothers and sisters in line to serve. The Austin and the Milleys would not be calling the shots or maybe we would have people in power who would hold them accountable for that shit show of an exit from Afghanistan or the mandatory vaccine drug testing of military personnel on the "shot or exit program" they put in place. I'm sorry enough of my ranting. I would like you and your family to know I love everything about your youtube channel. Thank you for the videos.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

@@jebo7697 I get what you’re saying, I do. And on a lot of fronts I agree with you. Unfortunately, you can’t fix stupid & you can’t forces selfish, entitled, immoral people to finally grow a brain or a heart for that matter. When you force people like this into military service they just become baggage for the rest of us to carry.

I’ve been doing soooooo much better. Not 100% yet, occasionally I still feel that pain but not as intense and not as often. I think all of the natural supplements I’ve implemented have really helped!❤️❤️

Do you guys get a check from the Alaska government??? Something about the oil reserves

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

We haven’t yet since moving here, because you have to be a resident for a year at least before you can apply. But we will be getting the next PFD checks.☺️👏🏻👏🏻

I see Mr. Rusty doesn't listen. he was helping put the wood logs away. I understand your loss with out your GrandPa. My Dads birthday is New Years Eve. and I just lost my son this last Saturday 16, Dec, 2023 of lung cancer. he was only 50 yrs old. Tina hugs your kids every chance you get. don't wait till next time. People now days don't take there Vows to heart.I don't think they really hear what there saying. Hubby and I are 42 yrs. and there's no way everything is 100% happy every day. Men are Men what can I say. ha ha.

My fruit trees are in large containers and do very well. I have found the fruit are healthier looking and more sweeter, because the maintenance is easier in containers. Also, I have a solar watering system complete with rain water.
