Love that Skizz cannot hang out with Jimmy without making himself seem old, and Tango dressing up as santa was adorable. One day Jimmy and Skizz are gonna get him to say something positive about himself, hound him to death until it happens

[@grookeymon]

how old is he anwayys

[@desidiocta]

​@@grookeymonimp is older than impulse, and imp is around 39-40 if I'm not mistaken

[@ISS600]

​@grookeymon He's known Impulse for 25 years (according to either him or Impulse) and met Impulse when he was a senior and Impulse a sophomore. He's also 2 years older than Impulse. My dad says that a sophomore is around 15. If we apply that to Impulse and say that he was 15 when he met Skizz, then Skizz would have been 17. 17+25 is 42. So Skizz is in his early to mid 40s.

[@grookeymon]

@@ISS600 thx lol and wow probs the oldest in the friend group

[@acetylcholine3]

[@dredpiratetrygle]

Jimmy gave us the greatest Christmas gift ever: a ranchers reunion featuring Skizzleman!!

[@LunAdepti]

Yesss

[@CorgiGirl-bh9gt]

YEEEEESSSS😆

[@logicallyanxious]

the true christmas gift is more skizz and jimmy content

[@captainflapper8829]

And skizz wasn’t even in double life so he’s technically not, not a rancher 😂

[@user-cw6zv1bh4p]

Also Plate Up Gang

[@NatsuDatsu]

Is it just me or is anyone else equally impressed how Jimmys buildings evolved through this little Christmas project, simply by copying and learning from the other builders

[@Van-dq4sw]

Well. This is Tango's audition for Guess That Build on the Jimmy-Skizz team of 'What am I looking at', I presume?

[@_Squiggle_]

Tango has made some really, really, really good builds on Hermitcraft but is probably not super good at the Guess That Build quick weird build Tango lacks confidence lok

[@dbseamz]

@@_Squiggle_ Comparing his builds in Double Life versus on Hermitcraft I think the difference is having a lot of time and space.

[@james7760]

I'm absolutely losing my mind over the fact that the Christmas pickle is not explicitly explained as the fact that it's an ornament shaped as a pickle.

[@Courdorygirl]

same here. It cracks me up that Jim seems convinced that you stick a real pickle in the tree, despite Gem and Katherine (sp?) both telling him it's an ornament.

[@creedalyssa]

I came here to comment this! Yes I’m from east coast US and we did the the Christmas pickle ornament.

[@sapphireBunny]

⁠@@creedalyssaI’m from Atlantic Canada and my family do it too. Apparently it’s German in origin according to some some family friends who came from Germany which checks out for us since we got it from my mom’s side which had some German.

[@justcallmeness]

We're also German descendants in the Eastern US (Pennsylvania) and we definitely have the Christmas pickle. It's a glass painted ornament!

[@mathgirljkmc]

When I had kids, my sister bought me a Christmas pickle ornament that actually talked to help the kids find it. But my parents was a glass ornament shaped like a pickle.

[@catsandcrafts171]

I love that these collabs are happening nowadays... I think between MCC and the Life Series, some of these new friendships are wonderful!

[@TussockyBongo57]

We really need Tango and Skizz in MCC

[@caloyyy6168]

Gem was not aware of her power when she shared that Christmas pickle tradition. It's taking the world by storm by the minute lol.

[@Mycanid3]

the best part about the "christmas pickle" thing is that for the longest time it was believed to be a tradition that came from Germany. But recently, in the past like 5 or so years, Germans are coming forward and being like "We do not do that, North America made that up and pinned it on us." But yes, the christmas picked is real and I am the pickle finding champion in my household.

[@beccajanestclair]

My family is Pennsylvania German and the pickle thing is everywhere in the area. I thought it was German, but maybe it's German-American?

[@Lonka12]

@@beccajanestclairI as a german can confirm that we do not do that. I have no idea why the amercians think it is from us.

[@elizabethlally2557]

No one knows where it came from. There are 3 main legends that explain where it came from. The most plausible is a Bavarian-American prisoner during the Civil War. Starving, he begged a guard to give him one last pickle before he died. The pity pickle gave him the mental and physical strength to live on.

[@ChristyLube]

It's odd, though, because my husband's German family definitely does. He's only 4th gen American, and the ones that came over definitely did this before they moved here.

[@Netbug009]

Get Tango in on a future Guess the Build - it'd be great! His redstone is so amazing that sometimes it's easy to forget he's also just a talented builder.

[@dbseamz]

I don't think I'll be forgetting anytime soon, just got the HC9 world download and went straight to the Citadel.

[@aurawolf4053]

I love how Skizz still calls Jimmy, Jiggles they have such a cute friendship along with Tango.

[@johnnyshortfor]

Skizz calling Jimmy Jiggles was absolutely delighted… this was such a fun video! I’m gonna have to go back and watch the others now

[@cin3859]

Skizz’s nicknames are the best. My favorites are the trio dipple dop, tango top, and pearlie pop

[@reapervalentin9167]

i wonder if Scar, Impulse, BDubs and Grian will get to come to this world even after Christmas is over...

[@Mortal_Worlds]

I have a feeling Chaos Duo will come on together if it happens.

[@tyreek.6815]

I really want Bdubs and Scar to work together.

[@galeria_m]

theyre probably busy celebrating/preparing for the holidays. i hope they're all having a good time

[@bobsthejunk88]

BDubs and Scar would be Christmas build dream team

[@nurikoinsane]

Jimmy did say on stream that he tried to get Scar, but couldn't

[@sunlighticegirl]

i LOVE this trio so, so much! i can’t wait for more with them. hopefully some more plateup!

[@sugarywaffle3]

Tango in his little Santa costume is so adorable!

[@AlletaLady]

This was honestly just such a heartwarming mini series. Watching a bunch of friends come on and build festive, low stress builds is just. Perfect. I didn't know I wanted this. So thank you for doing this together with everyone.

[@Spemker]

Truly the trio I didn’t know I needed

[@lisahenry20]

I was watching a vod from Katyrow (who makes the really good animatics for the life series on Everen) and she mentioned around the first half of secret life that she was hoping Jimmy would join the heart Foundation.

[@Liam-lm3cv]

you need to watch their plateup stream if u like their dynamics, they are so fun

[@jaydonroberts1110]

Funny how Tango criticized Gem and Katherine about the Christmas pickle tradition, too.

[@ssparr0w__]

So excited, Tango and Skizz are an amazing duo by themself and Jimmy with them is amazing ♥️

[@miniciominiciominicio]

This was such a good teamup!! I loved the start where the generation gaps were immediately evident with both gens bringing up films the either had not even heard of 😂 but the Christmas Pickle defies all time and location and cultural boundaries! 🥒 🎄

[@johnnyshortfor]

The start was extra funny to me because I had heard of all the movies Skizz and Tango mentioned and actually have seen them many times, but not a single one Jimmy brought up had I ever heard of… and I’m younger than him by a good few years XD

[@Werewolf914]

@johnnyh1732 I'm 26 nearly 27 so basically Jimmy's age and I haven't heard of the movie The Holiday, I do know all the others, but I'm also just huge into Film and while I'm mostly a Horror person I will watch nearly any genre, for example I'm not into Romance unless it's Gothic Romance so don't watch that typically but I don't really care how old a movie is I'll watch it, also super into Film History though again mostly Horror

[@merpqueen]

@@johnnyshortfor I'm assuming you're american?

[@BarnOwlCat]

I would love to see a small SMP... Create mod based SMP where redstoners take a novice under their wing and they compete to complete tasks against each other like: Move this block as far as possible. Move from point A to B as fast as possible. Just seeing the creative and out of the box thinking and the whole team work aspect. Maybe it could be a small series, team versus team idea much like the build challenges?

[@peacesax]

Skizz's build looks great! The post office is cute. And Tango's build is.... I think it speaks for itself.

[@waldzwerg7814]

A protection enchantment for boats would be nice. Resistance against arrows or tridents.

[@thenopequeen]

I think that if they did do lava boats, they should just use the fireproof woods, crimson and warped.

[@waldzwerg7814]

@@thenopequeen That sounds good too.

[@nurikoinsane]

Some wouldn't even need have to have an enchant on them. Give us warped or crimson boats to use on lava. BOOM

[@MrMoon-hy6pn]

@@nurikoinsane That would kinda defeat the purpose of striders though.

[@fathomsfinch]

Not only is the Christmas Pickle a tradition in my house, i have decided to take it to the next level and drive to my moms house at midnight to hide 20 pickle ornaments all over her house on Christmas morning

[@EPICGRIMREAPER]

This sounds similar to a pagan tradition known as the yule goat where you hide a wooden goat and once it's found it has to be moved to a new home over the festive holiday

[@fathomsfinch]

@@EPICGRIMREAPER that’s hilarious i love it

[@rainzy9991]

Can we just talk about how fast jimmy's skill in building improves?? like .. excuse me? why are you so good?! /lh

[@envii5640]

I've really been enjoying this little series, it has some podcast vibes. I'd be interested if you managed to make this a continuing series with just different chill builds and fun people.

[@Midnight_Star1021]

This! Please!

[@aefinn]

Love this trio. Can we get a 3 hour version please

[@kyley69woyote]

So proud of my boy skizz for his hustle making vids and doing collabs lately. Loving seeing this much of him.

[@crissycrossgaming]

This is the best Christmas gift, I love the interactions between you three and hopefully we see many more in the new year! Much love and happy holidays! 💖

[@novasurely1957]

Legit saw who the guests were in this episode and screeched with excitement. Love all three of you, awesome series Jimmy!!

[@tytoalba605]

At the end everyone you invited should come back on to just vibe in a mini episode. merrY Christmas jimmy and the gang this has been a fun series for sure.

[@mariewells6861]

That’d be lovely :))

[@dbseamz]

Gotta love the sheer contrast between how the Ranchers act as hosts compared to as guests. Jimmy visiting Tango on Hermitcraft: awed by even relatively simple redstone, then surprises everyone by just refusing to die over and over in the most impressive run of the guest event. Tango visiting Jimmy on Crazy Christmas: builds a statue of Santa in desperate need of suspenders.

[@bubbleboom7392]

The tone of this episode is amazing. The boys talking about different topics, different language, etc. And Tango and Skizz making themselves sound like old fuddie duddies, says this fellow old fuddie duddie. LOL

[@_agne_18]

I will consistently chose this trio over *any* grian or scar upload! I cant wait for your future interactions lol

[@bihan4414]

i love this trio so much!! thank you sm for including them. love tango and skizz and timmy all together!

[@rubyyro]

Probably my favorite video of the Crazy Christmas series (besides the first one you did with Lizzie and Joel). The vibes between you three are genuinely the best

[@AnpanofBread]

Skizz and Tango!!!! What a fantastic choice for guests!!!

[@ramblewheels2044]

That is my favorite episode of this series. The three of you really seem to have fun together.

[@ultimatewager]

Skizz somehow lives in a world where Minecraft boats aren't already OP enough. Merry Christmas, thanks for the video and collab.

[@millipedepaws8816]

I love that you incorporate everything you learned from others. I remember the episode from top comment you were you were taught by your friends how to make walls more interesting and how to add all of the little details to a build. You are actually using it in this biild and you do it so well. It shows that it is not just a bit but that you are trying to improve your buildings.

[@Tyler_curbelo]

I could probably just watch them build and chat for hours😅😅 I really like this it’s so relaxing 😊

[@jowi_24seven43]

It is fantastic that some new old friends are coming together for this casual build and talk, it's so wholesome. PS Die Hard is your mission to watch before next Xmas. Dare!

[@RedisFun2]

When Ranchers & The Heart Foundation collide...... Happy Christmas!

[@BCowcorn]

Icebreaker I - III for boats: lets a boat break through ice at varying rates (rate is in terms of how many blocks of ice it breaks per unit time, maximum). Amphibious I - II: allows a boat to travel over land at a higher fraction of its speed on water (4 bps for I, and 6 bps for II).

[@marislawyer1896]

I hope he continues doing a series like this. I love the chatty nature. Feels like we get to know the creators a little better.

[@Butter_Sparkle]

yet another amazing crazy christmas ep! I really like how chill it is, also with more great guests! really fun!!

[@hazelflwrs]

the plateup trio!! this was so fun, can’t wait for more interactions with you three next year

[@ashz2657]

26:27 As a Central-European, when learning English we HAD to learn all the UK Christmas traditions, because it was soooo important. So Jimmy not knowing why it’s called boxing day is the best feeling tbh

[@DefineObsessed]

The way Jimmy hinted this in the Live Stream and I was still shocked😭😭 Skizz and Tango are my slay girls fr

[@shadowgames50]

I really do hope Jimmy, Skizz and Joel join hermitcraft in s10. The amount of mayhem that would ensue would be unmatched

[@sydneydenny7491]

This was a great video, loved the vibe throughout it. Exactly what I want to watch on Christmas eve

[@esdraskuhn8896]

Loved the podcast vibes of this episode, really would love to have more videos like this. For the origins of Boxing Day, it has its origin in I think the Victorian era in England (and by extension its colonies) where the rich used to gift boxes of things to the poor on the 26th after Christmas; it was also more widely traditionally a day off for servants at the time.

[@IrregularityRowan]

[@tb-tr-sports]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAAAAARRRR!

[@timwoods2852]

To be fair, the very barebone basic features of the Create mod would fit well with vanilla Minecraft. Then again, the Trial Chambers and Autocrafter seem to be dipping their toes into a more industrial expansion.

[@emdoeslife1355]

This video is honestly the best Christmas Eve present

[@kreatywnaliliana5529]

It's called Boxing Day because it used to be a day when masters would give their servants boxes with different things like money, gifts, leftovers etc... I learnt it in college recently😊

[@Medusa_plays]

It would really hype me up to have the Life series members all become members of Hermitcraft

[@Summer12_Studios]

Another fun episode!! It was cool hearing your guys stories and the builds came out great! Merry Christmas also everyone! 😄✌🏻

[@Tallter]

It’s great to see skizz in one of these!!

[@quiietriot]

I love this series! It's so fun just hearing about what everyone's up to/how people celebrate/opinions on action movies.

[@stefanirose7585]

The pickle is an ornament. Our family tradition is it’s moved and hidden on the tree Christmas morning by Santa, the first one to find it gets to open the first gift. Hope you have a great holiday!

[@melo_maniac9983]

Honestly love seeing content with you three, it's just so entertaining

[@wildheartthetawnyowl8286]

26:26 Fellow Brit here, the reason I've heard is that it was the day boxes of gifts arrived to soldiers on the front during WW1 & WW2, since there were (obviously) delays in transit. Hence 'Boxing day' because that's when the boxes arrived! No idea if that's true or not, it's just the story I was told and I think it's neat.

[@kazoohero93]

We need more Jimmy and Skizz content. Seeing you genuinely crack up at his jokes makes my day. Hope you had a very happy Christmas!

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

Just as chaotic as expected from the guests this time 😅 I genuinely love Skizz and Tango, they give me such like, weird fun uncle vibes lol

[@jaeminsrightfoot]

i love how the christmas pickle has been mentioned every episode!

[@emojiface699]

LET'S GO SKIZZ DEFENDING THE BOURNE IDENTITY. Personally not my favorite but they did it dirty calling it boring. As well as him being on the "movies happening near christmas aren't christmas movies" side, Skizz is clearly the wisest person that been to Toy Town so far.

[@karvyhuynh05]

I love how toy town is coming together!

[@CAve_CreAture]

Skizz, you are correct about party's. I completely agree with all your points. Too loud and too overwhelming. Some people don't understand sensery overload troubles

[@stitchCarla]

So nice seeing Jimmy becoming a builder😊 I remember the first time I watch his video was when he joined xlife

[@draagax]

The christmas pickle is something that started in Germany, I believe. so as it appears in places like canada and america, those people most likely come from German descent. i knew about it, being part german, but never practiced it myself.

[@clthefrog]

Skizz talking about parties is such an introvert mood

[@potatoespoo]

Christmas pickle must be a Newfie/east coast thing because I’m originally from there and did this before. What my family does is we hide a little pickle ornament in the tree (or sometimes in the coach cushions as a trick) and whoever finds it first gets to open the first present. Not sure if this is the original way it’s but that’s how I’ve done it.

[@robinnblood]

I'm pretty sure it actually originated from Germany if I remember correctly, I'm from the west Coast and do this too

[@gwenethp511]

​@@robinnblood I'm west coast too (California) and never heard of that :O

[@allenbuddy3101]

One of my favorite trios around! Hopefully there’ll be more stuff with the three of you before the next life series 🙏

[@isabellefuoss9737]

Merry Christmas people!!! Happy Holidays ❤, also side note I like how it took skizz and tango to have a whacky build

[@obssessedwitha]

I absolutely love this trio when you guys play plate up !! You guys are so funny and i hope to see you guys get together more next year❤

[@faeriehearthwitch6185]

I love this trio together!! This chat while building is a great idea! Christmas Pickle is a German tradition and just starting to make its way to the US. It is a small green ornament of a pickle which blends into the tree and hard to find if you have a lot of decorations. On Christmas Eve the family or guests take turns looking for it. Whomever is the first to find it gets a present!

[@mtaylo26]

Merry Christmas... thank you Jimmy for this lovely series. It was a pleasant surprise to open up KZbin and see this video released today. Hope you are not breaking anything on your skiing trip.

[@bobsthejunk88]

Been loving every episode of this series, thanks for bringing us more Christmas cheer

[@justcallmeness]

Along with the enchanted boat, I'd have a "Monster Truck" enchantment that lets you go up single blocks on land. Maybe it would be part of the ice/water one...call it "off-roading!"

[@Down_bad_cockroach]

I love this trio, I hope they will team up in the next life series (if there will be one)

This was such a chill and easy episode to watch, I absolutely loved it! One of my favorites for sure! Thank you for doing this, Jimmy, and inviting other people to join. It always feels better when there's more people around, especially during the holidays. Thank you for helping us feel a little less alone.

[@deebea6364]

“I laughed so hard I couldn’t pee straight” - I think we need to start commenting this on videos everywhere

I haven't been watching this series just cuz I don't have the time but I got to say Jimmy has improved so much on his building skills. I'm so proud on how far he has come!

[@Karrikua]

We open gifts on Chrismas eve (24th) after eating dinner. It’s perfect for everybody, kids are busy and also tiring themselves out playing with their gifts and the grownups can chill with food and drinks. We also were allowed to open one gift in the morning which allowed the grownups to prepare for the evening without the kids being in the way.

[@mitchtunicliffe1007]

❤ loved this, the chill chatting between friends it was amazing. Boxing day is from Victorian time and is when the poor, servants and tradespeople were given gifts, surplus food from big houses and churches and the Alms charity boxes were opened and sent out to the poor. Now it's just about the day the sales start and people bargain hunting
