🌙I don't think that I can properly convey what your family has come to mean to me and how incredibly grateful I am that you have chosen to share your life with a bunch of internet strangers! The happiest of New Years to you all, and only good things in 2023! 🥂

[@normawright3179]

Happy New Year!!!! You've taken us on a great journey this past year not only in Italy but through the Alps, France and England. I'm grateful I found your channel and got to be part of it. Thanks!! Enjoy your time there in England and safe travels back home to Positano. Again, Happy New Year to all of us - EVERYWHERE!!!

[@AdonaiForMe]

A warm and beautiful sight when your Dad opened the door, so happy to see you, Carlo and the doggies ❤

[@wendydelpellaro7256]

🌙 I happily joined the jammy club last night. What a relief it must be for you to hear you can still drive in Italy. Nicki that was an unbelievable amount of work you went through to get those books out! Buon anno to all of you from Canada! And yes Carlo - 5 isn't too cold to us Canadians 😂❄️

[@coolbreeze5683]

He did well in -5 😆 have to say that a -20 dry cold in Saskatchewan can be as bad as a -5 in France or England where it's a damp, bone chilling type of cold!

[@wendydelpellaro7256]

@@coolbreeze5683 I agree with that damp, bone-chilling comment. The damp cold is so much worse and even though the temps appear to be warmer, it feels colder and like you'll never be warm again 😂

[@ctgctg1]

It’s true damp cold of the UK can feel very cold, but it pretty much doesn’t matter when you hit minus 20 and colder. You do get used to it for sure. Carlos hasn’t had t(e chance yet for that to happen.😂

[@coolbreeze5683]

@@ctgctg1 they don't close schools until about -40 here. Everything else always stays open though. I've gone to work in -55 windchill with my car barely moving but you're right, everyone just gets used to their surroundings.

@@coolbreeze5683 I'm from North Vancouver, BC (also own a hose on the Sunshine Coast here), and I now well a damp, bone chilling type of cold.🥶

[@CallieMasters5000]

I like how you are a bilingual family: everybody talks easily in their native language and everybody else understands. Skye is probably best at just keeping to one language at a time, but everybody else uses their preferred language and it works. I've even seen this done with 3 languages at once in some European families. Happy New Year!

[@aleta5873]

That ability is amazing to me.

[@mollypitcher9380]

Happy New Year! 🌛 Wonderful that the trip to England went well. Hope you all enjoyed Christmas! Great news about your license as well!

[@YT-Viewer]

I wasn't one of the people who purchased your book, and I typically I wouldn't say anything negative, but Nicki you were whining! Those who bought your book may have just been interested in supporting you, not necessarily because they wanted your recipes. But this can be a valuable lesson for any of us on YT--know your costs and labor before putting out a product.

[@sallypolzin2054]

Happy New Year to you and the whole family, including the furry ones. Stay warm and dry and later, have a safe and fun journey back to Positano.

[@katesheppard7813]

I like it that you are all in England with us, although we are in Shropshire. Happy New Year to Nicki, Carlo, Skye, Harry, Holly, and Indie. Thankyou for all the wonderful vids that you have done for us over the last year, loved every single one of them. Looking forward to more jam and chats from your Dad, more drone footage from Carlo (because we love it), more exciting dog walks and trips out with your lovely friends. Much love to you Nicki for the coming year.

[@ariag.8745]

Another wonderful video Nicki and Carlo! it was so wonderful to see the dogs' joy at connecting with Nicki's father as well as Skye. I look forward to your videos so much that when I feel it starting to wrap up I get a little sad. Have a lovely time in England, Happy New Year and a wonderful trip back home! Thank you for the joy and upliftment you bring to our lives!

🌜🌛🌗Happy New Year!! So happy you can continue to drive in Italy. I’m in the US and worked at the Post Office for 33 yrs. We just have one rate for international mail. We can just lump all the countries (except Mexico and Canada) into one mailing. No need to separate. If you ever change your mind about a hard copy book, please don’t rush like that to mail them. We are more than willing to wait. Hope you have a safe trip back home. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🌓🌚

It is so wonderful to see Holly's and Indie's rapture at seeing their loved ones. Congrats on the Exchange of Driver's Licenses win! Your description of the mass maiiling reminded me of some temp jobs I had in my 20s. It is surprisingly tiring to do such repetitive tasks. Happy New Year to you all!

Thanks for the great mountain footage

I am so glad you can still drive in Italy. I am with you Carlos -5 is cold. This Canadian should go south in the winter like so many others. I do see loads if Canadians in shorts in the winter though and don't know how they do it. Nicki you are so very awesome to get all those books posted. I am sure you made many so happy!

[@glavegas0010]

First things first……I never thought about the amount of work needed to mail the cookbooks. Thank you. The scenery on the drive to England was beautiful. It’s obvious that Holly and Indie love their Grandfather. How cute. Nicki, we had to take a written test to get our license in California after moving from Atlanta. It was around a 30+ question test about driving rules for this state. Looking forward to the rest of your trip. Reminder to the KZbin viewers, Nicki and Carlo are now only 7000 away from 200,000. Please get your friends and family to watch and subscribe. They’re so close…..👍👍Two thumbs up on a great video.

Have a wonderful new year and long may you allow us all to share snippets of your life with us all. ❤️

[@deannawilson]

I purchased your downloaded copy of your cookbook and it was perfect. I could either look at it and print out page as I needed it or I could print the whole thing which I did. I’m so sorry that you had to go to all that work to get those out! Hope you had a merry merry Christmas and wishing you the happiest of New Year’s! You are the only “show” that I watch on a regular basis and that includes everything and anything on TV.

Yeah -5C for us here in Canada is very mild. I'm happy when our winters are not colder than -10C and what a bonus that we are at +1C right now. I'm hoping that January, February, and March are mild but that's a big hope 🙃. We dealt with -33C in the beginning of December so I'll take -5C any day. Happy New Year!

You guys should be in Positano! I’m here for 12 days for my first visit, and the weather is sunny and fantastic! I’m walking around in a T-shirt from 11-3. Last night was New Year’s Eve, and it was one that I will never forget! So many fireworks, it went on for 35 minutes as each neighborhood or a house would let off 1-2 minutes of fireworks and then another house would do the same thing, on and on. And then of course the big main fireworks/crowds are on the beach, which was so much fun! Incredibly loud sitting in this canyon that Positano is in. Thank you so much for your videos that inspired me to come to Positano. I still have nine more days!
