Merry Christmas!

[@TarZan49]

Merry Christmas to you. My wife died last August, so this is my first Christmas without her for 52 years. The Hollar family seems like part of our family this especially. God bless you all this year and may you have a wonderful blessed 2025.

[@rosanna8468]

I'm so sorry for your loss>>I lost my husband 10 years ago this month. The holidays are always the worst . 🙏

[@trainingolives3370]

Praying now that you feel the comfort of the Lord as you navigate this Christmas without your wife for the first time.

Merry Christmas to you, too, sir! You and your bride have shared as many Christmases as I have had in my life. You have been so blessed! I can only imagine how different your world is without her by your side. The Hollar family has been my connection to my "down-home roots" for some time now, so I understand how you feel about them being an extension of family. You are in my prayers this Christmas morning as I type this and think of you waking to greet the day. I pray for understanding and compassion from those around you to allow space for your grief to be present, to acknowledge it, and to allow you to travel the path it dictates without guilt or shame. Romans 15:13 God bless you today and always.

Merry Christmas! “Secret ingredient is a tiny bit of yourself” may be my favorite line of yours ever because it is SO true with a cheese shredder 😂😂😂

Merry Christmas🎅⛄🎄 and Happy New Year🎉🎊...hope you are all better soon ❤

[@doloresbingham7956]

Merry Christmas to your family you guys be safe and God bless. Have a wonderful holiday.❤

[@yvonnebosboom8270]

I couldn't look at it. Some time ago I shaved off a little piece of the tip of my finger in this way. I only recently got the feeling back. 😂

[@faithrada]

The Hollar family never ceases to amaze. You inspire, you teach, you make us smile. May the peace of the season fill your Hearts, and may the joy YOU spread come back 10 fold. 🙏 🏡 🌲 🎄 ✨️

[@JerryB507]

Merry Christmas to the entire Hollar family and the extended, virtual, Hollar Clan.

[@melthomp9319]

I love that you guys do self care and don’t feel like you have to upload all the time. It’s a good lesson I hope other users learn. I hope more people watch this and we normalize this instead of so many being angry on some channels when the KZbinrs take some needed self care family time. Merry Christmas. God bless.

[@TobyCatVA]

Merry Christmas to the Hollar Family, may it be a joyful, happy and healthy holiday.

[@mitzideluca6427]

Merry Christmas to you Hollar Family :) Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us !!!

[@Jaynes-Path]

If you put those apples that you didn't want to eat into the cavity of your turkey while cooking it (you can add a cut & quartered orange in there too) then the meat will be very moist and have a great flavor. The juice sweetens the dark meat and the steaming fruit keeps the whole bird moist. Season the top and skin as you normally do. I've taught this trick to many people who are struggling to make a moist turkey as well as new cooks. It's proven to be safer to cook your stuffing outside of the bird and that big empty cavity just leads to a dry tasting bird. This can be used with whole chicken as well as game birds.

[@suemcculley7073]

So true

[@ShinyNickelBlades]

How cute! I also thought she was about to wave. Buggy is getting big, peeling apples. I love how involved your kids are with everything! Merry Christmas!

[@kathleengraves4647]

[@pamelas9]

We generally have a smaller turkey (there are only 4 of us). But also because we are a small family we don't have a 5 gallon pot. What we do is brine in a 5 gallon bucket lined with a slow cooker liner bag which we twist tie shut. The bag helps the brine stay over the whole Turkey instead of filling up the bucket. Usually have just under 2 gallons of liquid, including the ice, so maybe a gallon of brine.

[@gaynellewilliamson2954]

Merry Christmas! Please rest and enjoy holiday time with your family.

Oh my goodness! Your tiny new addition little lady looks like a ginger!!! Not just the strawberry blonde that her big sissy had, but she looks like a true Ginger in this video!!! I just love watching your family grow up! And those grown boys walk in and sounds like 5 and 6-year-olds with such Glee in their voice to hear that Mama made one of their favorite treats!!! Huge hugs from Central California!
