Back at you Jeremy. You have no idea how grateful I am to be able to watch FAMILY where the couple loves each other, the children are respectful, and no one talks like gutter rats. I am as grateful for y'all.

[@judyc1114]

My thoughts exactly

[@bowhunter8235]

...perfect comment. 'hollywood' has nothing on you guys. (that doesnt sound like a compliment sense tinsel town is officially trash now But I mean it as a compliment) your voice, the editing and th wholesome family content is unsurpassed. May God continue to bless you and yours in th years to come.

My oldest just turned 16 in July. You saying that this is your last Christmas with all of your babies under 18 just sent me into an instant bawling fit. Now I'm a snotty mess. 😂 I feel this. ❤

[@robertherrold5525]

I am a 70 year old retired lineman from pa. 40 years ago, I dry walled, wired and worked on our house after work every night and weekend. Your build brings back a lot of memories. I am no longer able to do what you are doing but it brings back a lot of memories. I look forward to every new video. I have knees, hips and shoulders replaced so I hunt and fish but I live my memories through you. Thankyou. Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.

Thanks for this sweet comment!

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

Melissa, your narration at the end STILL makes me cry! You have done as much for me as the friend who gave me my first "ThingsTo Be Thankful For" journal. (That's not the actual name of the book, but that's what I call it.) You have helped me to be mindful of EVERYTHING, and grateful, large and small. So, thank you. ~ Another beautiful video, especially Jeremy's word of thanks to us.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Awwww, thank you.

[@createandliveyourbestlife]

TOTALLY AGREE @TXNLlaurenMcN, So Mellisa, how about a book or E-Book using all your Video sign-offs? They are so inspirational and I for one would be love to have one and to be able to send friends to your website to buy one also. We all need uplifting these days and I often go back and watch your Videos again. To hear your words . THANK YOU 👏🏻👍🏻❤️🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

[@heidivose5832]

This one made me cry for sure!

[@shadegarden7375]

[@michaelwilliams7481]

Jeremy, it has been our pleasure watching your videos over the years. Watching you both work so hard building both your homes & fitting the barn out, also with the help of all your children. Watching your children going through different stages of their life growing up, your oldest going to her first prom, and passing her driving test. Also, watching the rest of your children getting taller & taller. Wishing you all a Very Happy Christmas & New Year, love from Mike. ❤🌲

[@lisatingley8953]

I love hearing you reflect at the end. My 4 kids are grown and gone (26,32,37,40). I have so many memories with them when they were younger. When they are my kids ages, you get to see the fruit of all the love & labor. It’s military for my boys (now out) and the jobs of my 2 girls. Then marriages, grand babies and you continue to make more special memories. Like holding your daughter’s hand and seeing my grandson born, dancing with my oldest son at his marriage to a special song he chose for me. Your daughters will still call momma when they can’t remember how you made Spanish rice. God is great! I’m not rich with money. I am rich with love from my 4 kids and my 3 adult step kids. May your family have a very merry Christmas and blessing in 2024. Jesus is the reason for the season!!! Love to you and your family 🙏🎄❤️😊

Melissa, while I am used to the titles of the videos this one instantly made me cry and worried me. It then made me realize how much I enjoy you while my tears fell onto my phone before I even started the video. So glad I overreacted...Merry Christmas to you and the family. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

No crying, it's Christmas time & family time! We sure appreciate you!!

[@iloke11]

You didn't overreact! These titles tick me off!!

[@bowed305]

@@iloke11Why do you allow video titles to tick you off? Instead of deciding that you know what the title means, why not watch the video to see where they're going by coming up with that title? If we get anxiety, worry, or get angry from a title, that's on us. Like most conversations in life, we need to let people fully explain what they mean before deciding for ourselves what they intended.

Not here to critique or misinterpret your title. Not here to give you building advice. Simply here to thank you for these videos where you generously share parts of your life with us. One of my absolute favorite parts of your videos are the scenic views. They are so different from what I get to see in central Texas. Your channel is a blessing, and your family is a blessing. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you!

[@reneegriffith2375]

We live in a big valley and are surrounded by mountains. I live in Coeur d Alene, the big town they took the kids skating. And no matter which direction we drive there are mountains surrounding us, and yes they are all beautiful. Especially in the wintertime. Not much snow this year, not sure how much snow they have, but here in town we have nothing. It does seem odd not to have snow on the ground for the holiday season.

It has been my pleasure to watch your videos from the very beginning and watch your family grow along with your homestead. You have brought me a lot of joy over the years, and I am thankful for that. As a father of two a grandfather of 4 and great grandfather of three I have lived through the joys of watching them grow, the sadness of watching them spread their wings and fly away on their own and a lifetime of happiness of watching them grow into productive humans. I am wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Great video as always guys. I can completely relate to how fast father time moves, and it only speeds up as you grow older. I am almost 59 and all my kids are in their 30s now with families of their own. Sometimes I look back and wonder where the last 30 years have gone, and how FAST they flew by. Cherish your time with your wee ones, as before you know it they will be moved on and starting their own families. I have 4 grand babies now, and love them so much...but I also long for the days when we were all together and not separated by the many miles we are now. I wish you guys a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the year ahead. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.
