Tipper, I and my grandsons are lactose intolerant and we can't have milk, but we also can't have butter or cheese either. My wife watches every episode and said to tell you that she is praying for your family too.

[@maryknittel1266]

Just love hearing Ira in the background. Even if he cries. The sounds of children are precious in a home. May God Bless You All.

[@thegardentillerboy1244]

Yes, I completely agree!! Let's be so very thankful to hear a baby...even the cries of one 🥰. Much love from The Garden Tiller Boy's mom.

Love Granny's crocheted Christmas gifts. Some of my favorite gifts were homemade by my family! My momma and her sisters made gifts for all us kids and ornaments for our 🌲 's. But my best gifts were my homemade Barbie clothes and mini quilts, and baby doll cradles made from Quaker oats round containers. Oh how I miss those times.

Love it ….and Christmas will be here before you get the dishes washed. My Grandaddy always said time goes faster the older you get. I truly understand what he meant now. The heat index has averaged 102-109 for the last 2-3 weeks, so we’re having lots of crock pot cooking and sandwiches. Everything looked wonderful

[@stephaniegamble3571]

@Paul, thank you for sharing your talent with us, too!! Goodness, God has gifted you with a talent that is absolutely beautiful! You truly blessed me, my friend. I HAVE to tell you, My 4 year old little boy, who is always 'busy' , Paul he in my lap and would 'dance' a little, but Paul, God must have smiled, this baby closed his little eyes, lifted his head towards the Heavens and RAISED HIS HANDS, he just worshipped. I don't know quite what to say, I'm in AWE. You touched this little 4 yo's heart at 6:14 AM and he could feel the Lord in your voice. Oh my, and this momma has tears. Thank You, from my heart.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That is so precious! Thank you!!

[@deborahhopkins7763]

What a wonderful video!! How fun to celebrate as a family. The food looks so delicious, and the precious lil angels and Christmas tree. A special treat was to see Granny.

Thank you so much for sharing your family’s Christmas in July. Always so sweet to hear lil baby sounds. Paul has a beautiful voice. I enjoyed his song. 👑🎄

[@debbieriddle9429]

Beautiful Christmas Dinner. I'm gonna have to make the oatmeal rolls...and the Fruit Salad...both look delicious. It all looked Delicious. I've been Intermittent fasting, after watching the video, my tummy is rumbling. lol I pray you all get the rain you need for your gardens. That Song was so Beautiful. He was sure Blessed with a beautiful voice. I loved it. Nothing wrong with Christmas in July. I have one small extra dining room in my house, and it stays decorated for Christmas all year round...kind of like an old 50's diner. Nothing fancy, but that little table fills up first during family dinners. I turned on the lights on the tree, just yesterday. We need a reminder daily, about the Birth of our Lord and Savior, and what it truly means. Thank you so much for sharing that precious lady and her perfect Christmas ornaments. What a Blessing to still have her. God Bless you all. Merry Christmas.

[@PellyjellyMom]

My Husband’s Grandparents were on a well. They always had rain barrels out and even buckets to catch every drop. Like you all, when you live by the land a lot you spend care to use everything up. I love your home, it reminds me of sitting around my Grand-parents In-law’s. At their house lunch was the big meal because Grandad had a mini farm but also worked on a road crew until he was 80 years old. They all got two hours for lunch and it was hard work so she fixed Chicken Fried Steak, Fried Chicken, Pork Chops or a roast with mashed potatoes and gravy or rice, vegetables, biscuits and always a piece of pie. It was so much fun to cut the work day in half with a nice meal. Thank you for putting that in my mind. 🙏♥️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love those memories 😊
