    Shawn this was a great Christmas present you gave us viewers. I know Erin and your wife don’t really like to be on camera and I appreciate so much that they stepped out of their comfort zone to do this. Of course Calli is for me the star and I loved seeing her on her birthday also. Thank you to all of you and may you continue to have success in the new year.

    I myself have two daughters in their 30’s. Our lives feel complete when they and all come to visit us in our 1940’s cabin on a River here in IL. Every little task, improvement, seems worth it all in these moments.

      @stevejensen3471 2 месяца назад

      I wonder how it is really? He lives alone and barely ever sees his family. I recall him saying in the past that they begrudgingly accept his life because it's what he wants - to live alone in the wilderness. Despite his accompishments, that seems awfully selfish to me. Perhaps he's discussed more that I haven't heard and if you know, would be interested to hear the skinny? Thanks.

    Shawn, I've watched all the episodes from the beginning of the first cabin. It was beautiful. Watched the new cabin rise from the forest floor and also the greenhouse. Cali has been by your side for most of this time. I've watched Emily with your help build her cabin. But this episode shows why you spent this time and effort to make a beautiful home. The wife and girls helping with the meal, all the fresh ingredients and the love put into the meal was beautiful. The interior is decorated tastefully, and everyone enjoys it. Thanks for allowing us a peek through the lens of your celebration. May you and your Family have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Callie loved her new toy. I loved the Silent Night and forest neighbors at the end! Very emotional. Your photography is divine! Love and Merry Christmas to all the James family!🥰❤️🤗🎄 Oh! Precious memories of the young girls around the tree!🎉Harriet

    I was touched by this. It felt like the culmination of everything that's gone before and the christening of the cabin and it's place in your family. I feel like I know it intimately. It's not just any cabin in the woods but one I saw built. I have an understanding of what it took and where it came from. It was an empty plot of land that grew into a warm and protective home. I appreciate the time and effort and the sharing. Others lives are made richer because of it and I feel a vested emotional interest in a place I will never visit and people I will never meet. Thank you for that opportunity. Happy holidays!

    • @EP-qi8ed
      @EP-qi8ed 11 месяцев назад +7

      Me, too. I kept marveling at every aspect of the cabin and reveling in the fast that it was single-handedly built. Just seems like an incredible feat for one human (with a supportive family and canine).

    Hello from Florida! I don't usually comment on any of the RUclips channels I follow, but I just wanted to say that this was absolutely beautiful and comforting! It just goes to show that the Christmas spirit is still alive and well for so many of us. I almost got teary-eyed during the Silent Night scenes. Thank you for really heartwarming video!

    Thank you so much Shawn and ladies. I'm so happy your wife joined in and let us catch a few minutes of her with yall. I feel honored for you to video your Christmas dinner and share it with all of us. Very special and I appreciate all 5 of you including Cali of coarse. That was so cute when your wife handed Cali her gift and got excited when she seen it was a new throw toy but I believe the thrower has some practicing to do SHAWN haha Cali was like dad I've seen better from you,come on are you getting to old dad 😅😂.
    That really gave your new cabin the completed warm cozy feeling having your family together . I absolutely love what you've built cabin and family.
    You've got something really special Shawn.
    Seeing the videos from the past Christmas' was really nice as well.
    The girls really respected and loved each other when they were much younger too.
    Loved seeing them hug,so sweet.
    The animal and scenery part at the end was like video post cards. All of those shots were so unbelievable beautiful.
    Nature is a burst of merricles flowing in front of you.
    I want to wish you Shawn your wife and daughters a Merry Christmas and a happy New year and I hope the new year brings each of you fun, excitement,leisure, and joy and the best health possible.
    Thank you so much from way down here in NORTH CAROLINA, USA GOD BLESS & BE SAFE 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Shawn, I have been following you for quite a while and let me tell you, you have worked hard and have done what a lot of us would like to do but for one reason or another we are what we are. You have a beautiful family and I hope you cherish that. I'm 85 years old and on the downhill now so cherish what you have now and remember the good times and tender moments you share with your loved ones. This was a beautiful video and yes, it brought a tear to my eye because life is short, and I know this beautiful life can't last. I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas. Good health to your and yours.

      @shameersheharyar5766 Souls, when you find the narrow road to heaven / keep walking in it.
      lucifer = 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
      Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
      he+ll love to keep you an ignorant fool. knowing not where you go, who you are, nor why life is.
      Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
      John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
      Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
      Soon the MOTB shall be share to all. It becomes a real choosing between MAMMON AND GOD>
      Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
      And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
      Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
      I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
      And before you take me as a “troll” and “spam”, bother to watch all my 7 playlists, dear soul.
      The simple research which I did, I named it simply: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY.

      I hope that this Christmas brings us a gift.
      That the many ungrateful sons who inhabit this planet can come to their senses.
      May they finally remember their parents all year round.
      And not just at Christmas.
      Amen.

    Merry Christmas, Shawn & family 🎄 from 🇩🇰 Beautiful video, great music, and thank you for including ‘Silent Night’ at the end. People tend to forget what Christmas is really about.

      The words to Silent Night praising Jesus, Our Lord and Savior is the reason and the true meaning for Christmas. Great song Shawn to end your beautifully made video. You are truly blessed with family, the love of family, and your talents to build the cabin seen here. All the best for 2024.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mr. James! The best part of Christmas is the aroma of dinner and enjoying it with your family. Cali stole the show opening her gift. The footage of the animals is some of your best work, in my opinion. Wishing you all prosperity and good health in the coming year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday.

      Romans 9- 11. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame".
      17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mark 1:15 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
      Believe the gospel and be saved.❤

    To watch you with your wife, and your two daughters, and Cali, cooking, chatting, eating, giving out a gift, throwing Cali's new toy ... ALL OF IT... it just made my heart swell up with JOY and brought tears from inside my heart. You are all so, so, so Blessed to have one another and to have that cabin that Dad/Husband built with his own two hands. WOW! What a Christmas! God Bless you one and all !!!
