Boy the tears are rolling from those three comments. I am definitely ordering a pill box from the woman in the Ukraine. They all put our lives in perspective. And your tip to the two truck driver is heartwarming. I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because my car died today and since it’s Saturday no one is open. I live in a very small town and everything is closed on Saturday. So I have to call the mechanic on Monday and see if I can get it fixed. I’m not celebrating Christmas until Friday and I have to travel three hours to get there. So I’m worried I either won’t have my car back because of the holiday or I won’t be able to get a rental. But it should be ok. The dealership where I take the car has an Enterprise rental car so I should be good I hope. I just need to see my family so we can visit and celebrate. I don’t get to see them that often. So I would appreciate any prayers or good thoughts you can send so I can get this whole thing figured out. Merry Merry Christmas to you and all your followers and have a great holiday ❤❤❤
Merry Christmas sweet friend! I am saying prayers that your car will be repaired quickly and you will see your family. I can tell from your words you need to see them and feel that love and joy. I just know you will get there! Please take care and have a wonderful holiday!!! Susan & Desi
On Solstice night of darkness, your video shines Light. Susan, you look so lovely in your Christmas sweater and Desi looks great in his red sweater. Your kindness is such a gift…truly inspiring. Enjoy all the Festivities of the season. 🎄🎅🎉
I don't know where Desi came from, but what a hoot-I love that little guy!!! He's a gift not only to you but to all of us! Merry Christmas, Susan, and Desi!!
Susan, I can't find a way to leave a comment, so I'm leaving a reply here because she talks about Desi. I hope you see this... 🤷🏼♀️ My year has been so up and down. My brother and I were supposed to go to Italy but he had to have his hips replaced and that didn't go so well. My knees need to be replaced. So we have had to postpone our trip indefinitely. I fell 3 times during the summer and hurt myself each time. Then, at the end of October I lost my sweet little Gingi. She was a sweet little blonde Yorkie, my companion and best friend. 😢. Gingi and Desi have always reminded me a lot of each other. Things are looking up. I'm getting a new puppy on Monday! Susan, keep doing what you do, because you are making a difference! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet, silly little Desi! Much love! ❤️🤍💚
@@cherylniday5821So sorry for your loss, and congratulations on your new fur baby! I lost my sweet little Wylie Sept 18th, suddenly, and was devastated. I ended up with a new puppy 3 weeks later. With my chronic health issues, it was way too soon. But, we are finding our groove and have bonded. It took a long time to do that this time. Good thoughts are being sent to you! 🙏🌹🐶🦴
@@cherylniday5821 I’m so sorry for your loss ! One day you’ll meet Gingi in heaven , I believe! Until then may your new fur friend bring you love and joy . 🙏❤️😊
Do you know the story of how Susan came to Desi's rescue? If not, ask her. They saved each other and it's a tearjerker with such a wonderful ending! She has a heart of gold as does Desi!
I think about the Ukrainian people a lot. They’ve endured that horrible war for almost three years now and it’s just heart wrenching. They don’t have water, fuel fur heat, food, safe shelter; their homes and apartments are being bombed regularly and it’s so sad. And so many young men and innocent civilians dead, too. I sit every day and wonder for all the good things I have around me; a beautiful home that I can decorate the way I want; good food, peaceful surroundings, heat, electric and water supply and many amenities. That’s what Christmas is about. Being grateful for what we HAVE rather than what we DON’T have!
I miss the Christmas when my parents, my brother and I all got together with aunts, uncles, and cousins at my grandparent’s home on Christmas Eve for a delicious meal and presents for everyone! Now my moma and daddy, grandparents, uncles, and an aunt are no longer with us. We all have our own traditions now, but I always remember those big family gatherings and celebrations! Merry Christmas everyone!🎄
Merry Christmas to you. I remember the similar special family gatherings. A life time ago now. Everyone is gone for me also.. You wish you could go back to those special Christmas's. Enjoy your coming Christmas and make new special memories. Happy day to you.
Oh, how I do relate to this. All the Aunts and Uncle’s passed on. My dad being the last a year ago. My cousins all moved on and away. We are down 7 …. And no children! I love the other 6 ferociously, but I so so so miss everyone. The noise, the cramped surroundings, their voices. Bittersweet time of year now. Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year to all of you 😘
@sandragmcalister3308. Thank you so much for your post...it made me cry. My mother had so many struggles in her life, most of which I didn't know about or understand until she was over 60. She was widowed after my stepfather died and I was single with mostly grown children. In the ensuing years we became close friends and when we talked I learned many things she had not been able to talk about until then. When I was 52 I went to school for a career change to medical imaging. She helped me with finances and I worked harder than I ever had to make her both proud and glad she had been able to help me. I will never ever forget her astonishment when I received the Outstanding Student Award upon grading with honors. She had graduated from high school at 15 yrs old and started working in San Francisco. She was still working into her early 70's. She is a shining light for me in what is otherwise a family lacking in care for each other. Her birthday was Dec.10, 1925. I miss her dearly still.
I love that! Yes, Christmas is a wonderful time because of the many hours of planning and work that mothers put into making it so. My mother was a child, one of five, during the awful years of the Great Depression. Her father was a blacksmith and her mother was a “ practical “ nurse. I think that meant she worked nursing sick people on an individual basis, not in a hospital. All to make ends meet. Christmas in my mother’s household was mostly stockings filled with fruit and nuts . This was typical of the times, so they didn’t feel deprived. But, when she had children of her own, well, Momma went into action. God bless her for making something wonderful out of Christmas , for us.
I’m 74 and became the “mother” of my 4 siblings at age 15 after mother died tragically from a poorly done surgery. My father deserted us. So…we raised ourselves together. my older brother was 21, so we could stay together (legally). I have provided the “glue” for my family. The home, the holiday celebrations, the care taking. I’ve done it with such love and sense of responsibility to each of them. You see….we had no parents. This video and comments is inspiring me to “carry on”. I feel tired, not ill but the usual challenges of aging. I keep wanting someone else to step in and provide the holiday celebration. BUT this video has set me straight. My life has been filled with tremendous love and respect from all of my siblings. I am blessed. I was given the honor of being the matriarch. It has made my life full. Viewing my special place in my family fills my heart. My holiday celebrations will continue. ❤ Merry Christmas
@@bethreisman8869 God bless you for doing everything you did to keep your family together. We all recognize that what you did is amazing. When you look around at the totally irresponsible messed up adults we see on the news , it is obvious you were very mature for your age. And your older brother also deserves our respect. What I would suggest is that you ask for everyone to bring a dish. Whether or not they make it from scratch or buy it from Cracker Barrel, it will be fine. No ned to remind them that you have done the whole thing all your life, just let them know that from now on it truly will be a family dinner for any of the holidays. They will soon begin to have a new appreciation for what it takes to put a big dinner on the table. The expense does not need to be all yours, nor does the work. You hug those boys and girls and make them feel like they are so special. All will be fine.
Merry Christmas to you and Desi.. I'm excited for 2025. It's going to be a challenging year but I'm up for the challenge. I'm going back to college and finishing my degree at 65. Better late then never. I have been married for 43 years, raised my children, helped raise my grandchildren and retired from a auto plant. So now, it's my turn to do something for me. Enjoy your holiday! ❤❤
My aunt decided to become an attorney at 65. Another friend had been a homemaker all her life, and at 65 went to school and became a teacher. She worked until she was almost 100. Why not?!! Best of luck to you!
Animals are so healing and so distracting from grief. This year I lost my dad and my only son. The pain is immense. Seeing Desi singing actually makes me laugh; I can't help it. He really puts his heart and soul into it. I have a cat who needs attention all the time. He is more like a dog. He is keeping me going. Have a happy Christmas and joyous New Year x
I am so sorry for your losses. My mother passed a year ago and I just was told a few months ago. It just doesn't feel like Christmas this year. I'm very glad you have a fur baby you love that loves you too. Sending love and prayers from "The friend you now have."
Blessings to you dearest! Cats are mystical creatures. Your kitty can sense your broken spirit and may want to be near to help you heal. Sending you hope, virtual hugs and healing prayers!
I am having a very difficult year taking care of both my elderly parents who suddenly seemed to falter and weaken. I am soon to be 67, and did not anticipate this unrelenting drama of two parents desperately depending on me for everything, all the while being angry at me and life for being so needy. Mom has dementia and Dad has a serious heart condition…both have been living with me until mom went into a home. I have been so tired, neglecting my own needs (it’s what I do), and basically not feeling any Christmas spirit this year. I am in tears after watching your video because listening to your gentle voice and your words of wisdom, along with your beautiful filming, I have gotten my spirit back. I recently lost 2 of my best women friends and a man I was with for many years. You feel like a dear friend, and your video has touched my ♥️. I have a renewed outlook, and I will approach the coming few days with a grateful heart. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me and so many others.
I will say prayers everything will work out for you...you have such a beautiful heart...please, take care of yourself. The world needs more wonderful caring women like you...A very Merry Christmas, Susan & Desi
Carer is such a hard time. I send you so much love, courage and hugs to hang onto when you feel helpless. I know where you are as after my husband has passed away last year I am now continuing to care for my son on my own. Its tough on the heart, as you want to cure them, but you can't. It is just out of your hands. You can only be there for them and I know that means the world to them. Look after yourself and have a Merry Christmas.
All alone and sad. But, not anymore. Watching this video brought me tears of sadness, loneliness and finally tears of joy when I watched you and Desie sing Jingle Bells. I laughed and smiled until I realized that I’m not alone, I have many friends on RUclips and each of them are special beyond belief! Thank y’all, God Bless and Merry Christmas to everyone. Love you all!🙏🏻🎄❤️🎄🙏🏻
Merry Christmas to you and Desi, I needed to tell you you have saved me. I wake up some morning so empty after losing my husband eight weeks ago, and I go to you every morning and watch and rewatch your inspiration your words, your kindness, your love and it reminds me that I still have a lot of life ahead of me and that everything will work out in the end. But I wanted to take this time to tell you thank you And merry Christmas to you and how much I appreciate all your words all your kindness that you show everyone.
I needed this video Susan, this year has been a hard one my husband of 53 years was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer so after 44 rounds of radiation and hormone therapy he completed just two weeks ago, I was feeling so hopeful, I decorated my home, bought special Christmas gifts and was looking forward to a blessed Christmas, but fate had a different plan, I took a bad fall last week, and ended up going to hospital ( my first ambulance ride) I have a broken shoulder and arm on my dominant arm, it’s so painful and I can’t do anything for myself, my poor husband is now taking care of me, he is still recovering himself. I have been feeling sorry for myself, and worrying about him, but this video snapped me out of it…. I’ll just count our blessings instead. Merry Christmas to you, and Desi, and loved ones xo
Thank you Susan. This holiday season has been rough. I got laid off from my job last month and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to survive. I'm not sure I have enough to retire, but getting another job at my age (65) will be a challenge. Your videos give me positivity and hope, and I truly appreciate you for it. Merry Christmas to you and everyone else in this wonderful community!
@@SarahRenz59 How frughtfuk this must be! I am so thankful for our social security system in Germany which would secure a small income. I hope there is sime help for you simewhere and a new job, that is to your liking. You're in my prayers. Have a beautiful Christmas with only happy thoughts!
I'm laughing as usual at your ending with Desi. Have a very happy Christmas. Thanks for all you share with us though out the year Susan. You are a gentle and sweet soul. I'm so glad you get to spend your days in your beautiful, warm home.
Love the stories you told us from all your beautiful followers. Two years ago my neighbour was left alone by her husband and after 48 years of marriage she didn’t see it coming. She was alone on New Year’s Eve. I went to her and said oh no you are coming with us. She gave me a big smile and came to us with her little dog and stayed until the morning and talked , eat and had lot’s of champagne, we had a toast on the next year and now she is doing fine, living with her daughter and is happy again ❤ Merry Christmas Susan, Desi and to all your followers 🎄
My mom loved you too Susan! We would talk about how much we love your videos. This video was touching on so many levels. It is amazing how simple things can make such an impact. When Mom was sick with cancer last year, she insisted that I pick up several food trays for the nurses. When I went to the grocery store to pick up all of the food, I told the woman how beautiful the food looked and explained who it was going to. I started to cry and she hugged me like we were family. She asked Mom's name so she could pray for her. I needed that hug and the prayers and I will never forget her. While Mom was sick, we had some of our most beautiful moments together. We both love birds, and I sat and read a bird book to her about different types of birds. I will never forget her sweet smile she gave me while I was reading to her. Christmas won't ever be the same without Mom. She was the candle that lit the room for us. The best way I know to honor Mom is to make Christmas special for our family. I love you Susan and I hope that you will have a beautiful Christmas with your family. xoxo
Service Industry Person here... God bless you for giving that guy that fat tip girl. God will bless you for doing that. You are such a precious soul. Merry Christmas Susan.
Nothing brings me more joy that hearing sweet Desi sing! The stories of the three women were so touching. I ordered a pillbox for myself to support Anastasia in the Ukraine. May the change of power in our country aide in bringing peace to hers. Wishing all a Merry Christmas.
Just goes to show how our comments matter doesn’t it. We type away wondering if anyone else will read them and sometimes what we write matters to someone. That’s why hurtful comments matter and you have to take responsibility when you write them. Susan you’re a beautiful person inside and out……thank you for all your wonderful videos you give us all throughout the year. Your input really helps and matters to soooo many people. You work hard for us and although we help each other n this Chanel we wouldn’t be able to but for you and Desi. He makes everyone’s week when he sings and makes his appearances. Thank God for both of you. Merry Christmas 🌸🌲
Oh, you are so sweet and you made me cry. You words are very improtant to me...and to others as well. So many of the gals here I don't think realize how precious thier words are to so many. I hope you have a wonderful happy Christmas this year. I appreciate you so much for being here...much love to you and yours, Susan & Singing Desi
Merry Christmas to you and Desi . You contribute so much joy and encouragement to all of us throughout the year. Love and best wishes for the new year.🙏💓
❤❤❤❤ Thank you for your support for Ukraine!!! I am proud of you, because not many people want to speak about! I think that they are afraid…. Thank you again and Happy Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤
Every day I pray for peace in the Ukraine and Israel. I agree we all need peace. Merry Christmas to you and Desi and thank you so much for the smiles! 😊
I love the pill box and praying this war will end soon. The Ukrainian people have endured a war that never should have happened. All of these stories are so touching. I love Desi and hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Susan, as I watch another poignant video of yours on this Solstice night, I wanted to thank you for turning my heart around. I’m surviving from and am healing from a very emotionally abusive relationship. I have been doing all the Christmas things, decorating, making cookies, buying gifts searching for the spirit. But, watching your video tonight, I realized why I couldn’t find it is because I’m smiling on the outside but inside the hurt and anger at all the unnecessary pain I lived through has put me on a defensive road of hardness and feeling bitter. I was shocked at the realization because didn’t realize it. I’m not that kind of person. I’m usually a gentle and jubilant person. It broke my heart and opened my eyes. You saved me tonight from a future I don’t want to have. After a lot of tears and a long conversation with God, I turned a healing corner tonight. Tonight of all nights, the celebration of the return of the light. I found my light with your help, Christmas angel. Merry Christmas to you and Desi. Bless you, friend, and thanks.❤🎄
I can’t thank you enough Susan for your posts, I have come to look forward to them so much. You help me see that I’m not alone and there is so much to appreciate about life. I just love Desi and his singing it brings such joy to my heart. He is a special guy. Have a merry Christmas you bring joy to so many. Blessings to you my RUclips friend.
I dont usually comment. I felt inspired to share how much your videos have helped me sort thru so many feelings and gain perspective. Your bare bones honesty is refreshing
Hi Susan. - Right as the crisis in the Ukraine was building up, I had bought a lovely throw pillow cover from a gal in Poland (on Etsy) as she too was being affected by the situation. When I opened the package, she had add a small beautiful lace doily she had made. It was her way of letting me know that she was okay. it was so touching, like the pill box you received. - Back then, I noticed that there were many artisans from the Ukraine who sold their wares on Etsy. (They art work is BEAUTIFUL). What I also noticed is that the people of the Ukraine were VERY self-sufficient through their artistic talents. It saddened me to know that their lives were displaced, but you have shown me that they are making a come back. Anywhoos, Your Christmas tree is just beautiful! It's truly cozy and heart warming. You, like the artisans in the Ukraine, are truly resilient. Lastly, You and Desi are a hoot! Watching him sing with you is just so much fun. It brought a smile to me, that I much needed upon finalizing this day. May you have a safe, blessed Merry Christmas.
Ah thank you so much for being here! I loved what you said about the artisans being resilient! It is hard to know so many are suffering...we rest when we can but we never give up the fight for what is right! I hope you have a wonderful happy Christmas this year. I appreciate you so much for being here...much love to you and yours, Susan & Singing Desi
I did the same thing - I had bought a stained glass bird (a Brown Thrasher) from a Ukrainian seller on Etsy just before the invasion. It was beautiful, and I immediately ordered a female Cardinal but the order was cancelled because they all had to leave to go to a bomb shelter. Their shop was in a town right near the Russian border. Months later they were back home and I ordered the Cardinal again, and I also ordered more stained glass from a seller in Kiev. I encourage people to buy stained glass pieces from Ukraine. They take longer to arrive (mine each took a month or more) but the quality is so good and the pieces are worth the wait. I love to support the people in Ukraine.
Oh Susan, I so look forward to your video every week ! You make me smile, you make me cry, you make me happy! And your little dog Desi is so special! I'm so glad you have him❤️🤗🎄 Have a wonderful Christmas!
Susan, reading through all the comments I am struck with the number of people suffering. I know it’s the human condition and if you believe… there will be eternal peace. I hope when you read the comments, you realize what a profound positive and uplifting impact you have on all of us followers! Much Love
The suffering is real...it has changed me...I appreciate life so much more...and I pray a lot more for everyone here that has a broken heart...my love ot you always, Susan & Desi
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi and all who visit here. What a blessing it is for the gift of eternal life that came from the life of the Christmas Baby. May that lift us up, push us onward, and dry our tears. God bless us-every one well said from Tiny Tim.🎄🎄🎄
Thank you for your weekly videos. They always bring me such joy. I have been thinking today about my friend who just found out that she’s no longer in remission from her Stage 4 cancer. We were hugging and crying together this morning. We are reminded that each moment is precious and should be cherished. Pick up the phone and call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Write a letter. Be there for the people you love. Life is fleeting. Merry Christmas Susan and Desi…and everyone who reads this. 🎄❄️🎅
What a beautiful video Susan. You bring light to all our lives. I cried during those letters, especially the last one as it hit home to when it was just me and my son as almost three months old, living in a small one bedroom apt and no family close by… but what a blessing and those ladies experienced joy from that young family. That Ukraine young woman so brave, artistic and that pill box beautiful… the truck driver so thankful and first thought his children. Thank you Susan for sharing. I had an accident in my kitchen on Tuesday and burned my left hand pretty badly all for the sake of a good cup of coffee that never got to have… recovering now but first and a part is 2nd degree burn. Thankfully by son and daughter in law live about 45 minutes drive away. I spent two days there before coming home and left my dog with them to give me time to heal a bit. Your video helped brighten my night and just fills my heart with thanks and gratitude. Merry Christmas to you and Desi and all your followers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗😘🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
God Jul! .....(Merry Christmas) from Sweden. Oh Susan, I wish that you and Desi will have a Wonderful Christmas togheter with Near and Dear. Thank you for sharing this video with us this Christmas.. Tears are running down my cheeks while watching. I agree with you, who are we whining about small "daily things" when there are so many others suffering at this time. A time which is said to be a happy time and time to celebrate. Soon to be 3 years the war has been going on in the Ukraine and many has had to flee their Country, while some decided to stay..... To all watching this video I really Whish that you will have a good Christmas and to the people in Ukraine I hope you will have a good and Calm Christmas. Lets hope for Peace in your Country next year. A Country that will sadly never be what it always was. Lets pray for No more sacrifices so your daily life can be almost the same as before the war. Blessings to all and bless this Christmas with Love and and a Hope for Peace!
Susan you hit the nail on the head...our woes are so small compared to those in the war zones!That's why we love you cause you bring us back to reality!Merriest of Christmases with your family!❤
You and your little dog singing Jingle Bells made me smile. I have Covid and am so sick and I'm sad I am missing Christmas with my family. Plus, just two weeks ago I lost my little dog. I had him 1 6 years. I miss him so much. So, as you can tell you and Dessie made me smile, just what I needed to hear. Merry Christmas.
Oh my, dearest Desi, you may me laugh till tears flowed. I just adore your singing. Thank you Susan for another wonderful video. May you and Desi enjoy your Christmas and a very healthy happy new year to you. ❤️💕
With tears in my eyes I send you this text. This video was so touching can I related to it on so many levels. My mom was dying just a year ago and she died right after Christmas. But at Christmas I was able to sit next to her in the hospital and hold her hand and hug her and now I can't and I miss her so deeply. Your videos bring me so much joy. And at the end when you and Desi were singing I went from a hearty laugh to bursting into tears. Thank you, you are such a blessing to me in my life.
OHHH, I am hugging you now. My husband died a week before Christmas, it was the toughest Christmas to get through in my life without him, I felt so numb. I know the loss what you are feeling, as I am missing him so again. The holidays i think will always be hardest as you miss those you loved so much. Blessings to you.
OMG Susan! What a wonderful peek into your life and others who you spoke about! That alone was the best Christmas gift!! The 25th is my birthday as well and I feel so blessed to have seen this. I cried, laughed and counted my blessings. Merry Christmas to you and Desi!! Bless you!!
You are so right about our words influencing others, for good or bad. After hearing your tradition of tipping the waitress I came up with a new tradition for this and future Christmases. We filled out five holiday cards and inserted $20 in each one. My husband personalized them with our first names and wrote "You are loved". We are handing them out to people on the streets asking for money. Thank you for your channel!
Always look forward to your videos. I know that Christmas can be a very hard time for some people and we really need to take inventory of the blessings we have. I was born in a small coal mining town in Eastern Ky. but I was one of the blessed ones because my family owned a grocery store and we were spoiled. My husband was from that same town and his father was a Coal miner. My husband shared what his life was like and how on Christmas they looked so forward to candy and fruit and how excited he was to get a cap gun. He said he felt so rich. I. Share this because we need to take the time to realize all though I was spoiled I know that little cap gun meant more to my husband than all the things I got. It is not how much you get under the tree that makes us happy it is the joy of feeling blessed. I know he felt like he owned the world and was so rich. He grew up from that little boy and put himself though collage and helped his sister through collage. He mad a teacher and the kids loved him. When he recognized. The need of a student what ever it was he was there for them. Cancer took him at a young age but that little boy with the cap gun made such a difference in people’s lives. He taught 4 th grade and they named the school gym for him and put a bronze plaque on the wall. That little boy from a coal mining town touched more lives in such a short time than most people do in a life time. I was blessed to be called his wife. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
What a lovely memory that you shared of your husband. It is true that in those days the smallest things meant so much. I believe people of that age, just were more grateful than this world generation with so much plenty, now, so many take so much for granted. My father used to tell us about the day at school he got his first pencil and his parents bought him a pair of shoes, that he would tie the laces and wear over his shoulder, only wearing them when he got to school, so they wouldn't wear out. Yet he felt so excited and rich to have both. Blessings to you for reminding me of my fathers stories he would tell, as it brought his love to me..
Merry Christmas Susan, and little Desi! ❤ I am a fairly recent widow, I feel so lost sometimes, and really look forward to your show on Saturday evening's! Me, and my little dog Delilah watch you, 😉 ❤🎄🎄🎄
I enjoyed your comments Susan! The pill box was beautiful! I’m so glad you have achieved so much this year! Hope you have blessed holidays head! Love the songs withDesi! God Bless! Believe on the lord Jesus Christ and you will e saved and your rewards will be waiting for you in heaven! You deserve the best!
What Joy just seeing Desi rally sing. It just made me really smile. Susan, my dear Brother died on Tuesday. Seven months to the day my Mum died. But this with my poor Brother has been far harder. My Dad and I are having the most awful time. I loved your warm video today, and am going to watch it again and again. Thankyou ❤ Love to you and Desi and everyone on this channel xxx
You are so right about the power of the utube community. A channel I watch recently drove to the bus station to pick up her sister, who is 35 and in her second trimester, no father involved. They live in an off-grid camp, and in aweek one of their viewers gave her a 5th wheel camper with a slide out. (it needed major clean up). Viewers requested she start a wish list, her sis helped her start a channel and she already has 2,000 subs, the comments are 90% warm, helpful, kind words that have brought tears to the eyes of this (hardened) woman who was homeless/hopeless in CA a month ago. When I worry about our country and world I remember that people everywhere are doing loving things everyday, and utube shows us a lot of it. I'm so glad you created a kind community, and I wish you and yours a lovely holiday, Joy
At the close of another year I'd like to tell you I have so enjoyed watching your channel. And we just adore Desi. What fun to listen to both of you singing. Makes me smile every time. A blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year
One word sums you up Susan.. Angel sent from heaven to bring us all joy and love on earth. Your my earth Angel for sure. And desi is an absolute delight that follows . Love you both so much. Your like family to me ❤❤
I love your channel. You and Desi are part of my life. I always end up laughing out loud at the singing duo. Merry Christmas Susan and here's wishing you all you wish for yourself in 2025.🎉
Such a heartwarming video, Susan. Love all your great Christmas finds. Merry Christmas to you and sweet, adorable Desi and your family. Sending love from sunny Florida ❤
I just found you and I started crying because the 1st story is similar to mine. My mom lived with me and was my best friend. She passed away suddenly the end of 2022. My Dad passed away in February of the same year. I never dreamed I would lose both my parents in the same year. Im on disability from a back injury so she was my everything since I cant work. We took care of each other. Its too quiet in my house now without her. 😢 Its been so difficult to be without her 💔 I adore your little dog. My dogs are what keep me going and give me purpose. I LOVE THE TWO OF YOU SINGING! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🤶🎅🧸 🎄
Hi Susan, you and Desi singing gets me every time❣️ I lost my dogs this year and it brought tears to my eyes. I’m so happy that you have a wonderful home and companion, that you are warm and well fed and your family is close by.
Merry Christmas. Thank you for helping me put life in perspective. I will keep those in need in my thoughts as I go about my life. You show how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life. I appreciate your weekly videos.
Oh Susan I just want to send a warm hug to those beautiful ladies who wrote you!!!!!! What you did for the man with his little boy, well, those are the things that I'm sure make God smile. Merry Christmas to you and Desi. Merry Christmas to all .
Your videos are always so special and serene. I love when you take us to the thrift stores and share your finds. Desi is too special & lovable beyond words. You are such a deep thinker & soulful person. Wishing you & Desi & your beautiful family a wonderful holiday!!
I waited to watch this this morning (Christmas Day) since I am alone (with my dog). My husband is in memory care this year. I will visit and have lunch with him. Thank you for such a beautiful video and profound message (s)…it touched my heart 🎄
As always such a heartfelt and beautiful video Susan. My mama passed away 5 years ago and Christmas is always so hard for me as she made them so special. I loved watching you so much, it brought back the Christmas spirit back. Thank you Susan🙏🏼 ❤ Wishing you, Desi and your family a very Merry Christmas xo 🎄🥰
Getting ready to fly to Florida to be with my kids and grand daughters. My mom passed on December 17th many year ago and she lived with me until she was 85. So writing her a letter to her may lift my spirits. Love Desi when he sings, makes me laugh and cry. Wishing you a Merry Christmas so Bona Natalie. Carmela Bucks County, Pa
I can't tell you how much you and Desi add to our lives. Every time l see the two of you perform you get even better. And dapper, little Desi looks adorable in his sweater.
Susan, the stories made me cry with love and Joy. I feel a connection now with Anesthsia and am praying for Peace for her and around the World. Also, I love the idea of writing to my long passed mother. DESi! You are such a good singer. Merry Christmas to both of you.
I went to the website to support Anastasia in Ukraine! I was so happy to see that some of her items were sold out… she is doing well! I will be making a purchase also. So many pretty things, I can’t decide! And I love the duet with you and Desi at the end of the video! Blessings to you both! 🙏🏻💕
Another cozy evening with friends. I can’t tell you what joy it brings me to watch you and Desi sing. He’s such a good sport with all his accessories. You are truly blessed. Merry Christmas!❤🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
I started to cry when you spoke about crying for those we lost since today (12/22) is the 7th anniv. of my husband passing. And yet, I was laughing with those tears in my eyes at you and Desi singing. Thanks for have a Blessed Christmas (Desi too).
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi…knocked it out of the park again on Jingle Bells ..once again! Love you both and thank you Susan for another beautiful year.❤..Love, Liz
Dear Susan and Desi, I just want to hug you for all the love and joy that you are bringing to me each week. This week's video is so special. Your words regarding Anastasia who is living in Ukraine were so inspiring. It is so true that we have to put our problems in perspective. Have a very merry Christmas!
Susan Thank You for the love and light you bring to me and all the lovely ladies here! I am not alone this year after visiting with you! ♥️♥️♥️ Merry Christmas to You and Desi! 🎄🎄☃️☃️🎄🎄
Oh, you are so sweet!!! I hope you have a wonderful happy Christmas this year. I appreciate you so much for being here...much love to you and yours, Susan & Singing Desi
Merry Christmas Susan and dear Desi. You are able to articulate your feelings so clearly, which is a blessing for those with similar feelings. I love your messages. You incorporate visual, and musical beauty while creating a sense of community. Desi warms my heart. He is precious especially when he sings. I agree with paying it forward anonymously. A small example, is when I'm in a drive though, getting a coffee As I'm ordering, I inform the worker at the window I'd like to pay for the car in front of me. When they hit the pick-up window, they're are told..."Your food has been paid for." It gives me Joy to share and give to others. Merry Christmas. Praying for peace, hope, joy, and love for all. 🎄🔔✨
Oh my goodness when Desi sings with you i just loose it ,my eyes tear up and i laugh so much ,I'm wishing you and Desi a blessed Christmas with your family, and may our Father keep his full Armour and precious energy upon you and Desi and all your family, from the top of your heads to the bottom of your feet and paws 😄love is the key, always 💞 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🐶🥰🎁
This is the most precious video ever!! I was just sitting here eating my dinner, and began watching your video, not feeling emotional whatsoever, and now I have tears running down my cheeks. The letters/comments that you read to us were so heartwarming! And your song that you sung with your cute little Desi was just the icing on the cake, with whipped cream and a cherry on top! Thank you for this uplifting and sweet message that you have shared with us! I wish you, your cute little doggy, and all of your community/followers a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🧑🎄🦌🛷🎁✌️❤️
Wow what a great heart wrenching story. I’m not sure why I got teary eyed but it pulled at my heart strings. You invoked so many feelings and memories. Rembering my current losses and being so grateful for all that the Lord has given me. Thank you so much. Sometimes we just need to know that everything will be okay. Love you and Desi. Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Everyone! I love your video’s! You are like an older sister I never had. I look forward to seeing you and Desi on Saturdays. This is the time of year for quiet reflection. I’m transitioning from the old me to the new and improved me. I which I could say it has been easy but it hasn’t. But I’m a lot better than I was a few short months ago. I’m getting older and my body doesn’t do all the things it use to. I must admit I have not been very patient with myself, it’s been frustrating and sometimes I would just scream. I’m learning to love myself and to be patient with myself, after all we only get one body and we only get one life, I have decided to embrace mine. When we are loving and accepting of ourselves then we can be loving and accepting of others. I get tunnel vision sometimes, so focused on things I need to do, I don’t stop to notice the roses, much less stop to smell them. You have taught me Susan that yes we do get busy, but never get too busy to help someone, to reach out to someone, to show someone they matter. This year in 2025 I’m going to start being more of a giver and less of a taker. Thank you Susan. I love your video’s because you are more like family. Merry Christmas to you and Desi! Love you both singing at the end! Much love ❤️
Your house is so cozy and lovely!!! The art that you have curated for your home is just fantastic! You and Desi make my heart glad every week and I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful and joyful Christmas!!! God is good!
For the last few years my mom was in a nursing home. I'd planned for her to come home for Christmas but at the last minute my hubby told me his boss was not giving q turkey that year and l couldn't get one. I told my mom we'd have her favorite, spaghetti. She said no. The following Christmas she said sadly, l guess my babies (stuffed animals) and l will have Christmas here (in the home). I told her l already bought a turkey and l was making her fave rum trifle. She was so happy but a week before the big day they sent her to hospital (long story) and she died there on Christmas. Every time l hear the song, "l'll be home for Christmas," l cry.
What beautiful comments from amazing women. I will look at Anastasia on Etsy. I'll see if you left a link. The pill box is so beautiful! And what your granddaughter said, and you made a wish, will be something she always remembers, and will one day , have your pill box. My mom's last Christmas is this year. She is end stage heart failure, she has pneumonia now as well. It's been 12 days in the hospital. I've written her a 6 page letter a few months ago, thanking her for all the great memories, and shared ones she forgot about, or didn't realize how much they meant. Everyone tell your parents you love them! It's so meaningful to them, to know their life and sacrifices meant something. Merry Christmas Susan and desi! Great job Desi
Thankyou for a beautiful and special video tonight. The three stories were tear makers for sure. You bring so much inspiration and encouragement to all of us. Wishes for a blessed Christmas to you and your family and little Desi. Jinglebells duo a real treat. Thankyou. ❤
🎄🎁🎀This was a wonderful video. I'm so happy to see the stories you discovered, and how they affected your life. It's been a tough year and a wonderful year for me. I lost my two shitzu's, in March, and Nov. They were twins, 14 years old, it would have been their 15th Birthdays on Thanksgiving Day. We also lost two family members (my brother in law to Alzheimer's and my other brother in law to Cancer). I was able to finally meet all my Grandchildren which was wonderful, and our family is slowly healing from the political divide and pandemic issues. I'll pray for you and Desi to have a beautiful Christmas and New Year 2025! (My Birthday is New Year's Day). I could use a little prayer in selling my house we've had for 20 years. Rough times. Love you Susan and your channel. Keep Rockin'!
Asking the Father to send a buyer for your home. And, help you in packing. Give you strength physically, emotionally. Happy Birthday...a year of new beginnings. Prayers for protection. Jesus loves you. Me n Spanky my pup❤
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi . I so enjoyed your singing at the end. Oh me sweet Desi just chimes right in there , so stinking cute !! Love your Christmas outfits Susan, you will be beautiful!
Boy the tears are rolling from those three comments. I am definitely ordering a pill box from the woman in the Ukraine. They all put our lives in perspective. And your tip to the two truck driver is heartwarming. I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because my car died today and since it’s Saturday no one is open. I live in a very small town and everything is closed on Saturday. So I have to call the mechanic on Monday and see if I can get it fixed. I’m not celebrating Christmas until Friday and I have to travel three hours to get there. So I’m worried I either won’t have my car back because of the holiday or I won’t be able to get a rental. But it should be ok. The dealership where I take the car has an Enterprise rental car so I should be good I hope. I just need to see my family so we can visit and celebrate. I don’t get to see them that often. So I would appreciate any prayers or good thoughts you can send so I can get this whole thing figured out. Merry Merry Christmas to you and all your followers and have a great holiday ❤❤❤
Keeping you in thought and prayer. You will be with family. God Bless.🙏🙏
Merry Christmas sweet friend! I am saying prayers that your car will be repaired quickly and you will see your family. I can tell from your words you need to see them and feel that love and joy. I just know you will get there! Please take care and have a wonderful holiday!!! Susan & Desi
On Solstice night of darkness, your video shines Light. Susan, you look so lovely in your Christmas sweater and Desi looks great in his red sweater. Your kindness is such a gift…truly inspiring. Enjoy all the Festivities of the season. 🎄🎅🎉
Prayers that everything will work out for you! Merry Christmas to you!❤🕊❤️🌟
Good luck with your car and God Bless 🙏 Merry Christmas 🎄
I don't know where Desi came from, but what a hoot-I love that little guy!!! He's a gift not only to you but to all of us! Merry Christmas, Susan, and Desi!!
Susan, I can't find a way to leave a comment, so I'm leaving a reply here because she talks about Desi. I hope you see this... 🤷🏼♀️
My year has been so up and down. My brother and I were supposed to go to Italy but he had to have his hips replaced and that didn't go so well. My knees need to be replaced. So we have had to postpone our trip indefinitely. I fell 3 times during the summer and hurt myself each time. Then, at the end of October I lost my sweet little Gingi. She was a sweet little blonde Yorkie, my companion and best friend. 😢. Gingi and Desi have always reminded me a lot of each other. Things are looking up. I'm getting a new puppy on Monday!
Susan, keep doing what you do, because you are making a difference!
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet, silly little Desi!
Much love! ❤️🤍💚
@@cherylniday5821So sorry for your loss, and congratulations on your new fur baby! I lost my sweet little Wylie Sept 18th, suddenly, and was devastated. I ended up with a new puppy 3 weeks later. With my chronic health issues, it was way too soon. But, we are finding our groove and have bonded. It took a long time to do that this time. Good thoughts are being sent to you! 🙏🌹🐶🦴
@@cherylniday5821🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾❤️❤️
@@cherylniday5821 I’m so sorry for your loss ! One day you’ll meet Gingi in heaven , I believe! Until then may your new fur friend bring you love and joy . 🙏❤️😊
Do you know the story of how Susan came to Desi's rescue? If not, ask her. They saved each other and it's a tearjerker with such a wonderful ending! She has a heart of gold as does Desi!
I think about the Ukrainian people a lot. They’ve endured that horrible war for almost three years now and it’s just heart wrenching. They don’t have water, fuel fur heat, food, safe shelter; their homes and apartments are being bombed regularly and it’s so sad. And so many young men and innocent civilians dead, too.
I sit every day and wonder for all the good things I have around me; a beautiful home that I can decorate the way I want; good food, peaceful surroundings, heat, electric and water supply and many amenities.
That’s what Christmas is about. Being grateful for what we HAVE rather than what we DON’T have!
I miss the Christmas when my parents, my brother and I all got together with aunts, uncles, and cousins at my grandparent’s home on Christmas Eve for a delicious meal and presents for everyone! Now my moma and daddy, grandparents, uncles, and an aunt are no longer with us. We all have our own traditions now, but I always remember those big family gatherings and celebrations! Merry Christmas everyone!🎄
Merry Christmas to you. I remember the similar special family gatherings. A life time ago now. Everyone is gone for me also.. You wish you could go back to those special Christmas's. Enjoy your coming Christmas and make new special memories. Happy day to you.
Me too! 😊
I miss them too. We’re down to 5 people now. It’s so sad. Merry Christmas 🎄
And to you, dear lady. ✌🏼
Oh, how I do relate to this. All the Aunts and Uncle’s passed on. My dad being the last a year ago. My cousins all moved on and away. We are down 7 …. And no children! I love the other 6 ferociously, but I so so so miss everyone. The noise, the cramped surroundings, their voices. Bittersweet time of year now.
Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year to all of you 😘
The courage of the Ukrainian people is profound. Bless them❤
Totally agree….blessings to them, 🙏 pray they stay strong. ❤🙏And we pray for peace.
@ yes 👍 and Trump apparently doesn’t want to help his OWN people! Sad you may have to live with him as your leader for the next four years! 🇦🇺🙏
@@catherinepalun972 Merry Christmas sweet friend!!!
I saw a post the other day and this was what it said "The real magic of Christmas was our mothers" I think that's true.
@sandragmcalister3308. Thank you so much for your post...it made me cry. My mother had so many struggles in her life, most of which I didn't know about or understand until she was over 60. She was widowed after my stepfather died and I was single with mostly grown children. In the ensuing years we became close friends and when we talked I learned many things she had not been able to talk about until then. When I was 52 I went to school for a career change to medical imaging. She helped me with finances and I worked harder than I ever had to make her both proud and glad she had been able to help me. I will never ever forget her astonishment when I received the Outstanding Student Award upon grading with honors. She had graduated from high school at 15 yrs old and started working in San Francisco. She was still working into her early 70's. She is a shining light for me in what is otherwise a family lacking in care for each other. Her birthday was Dec.10, 1925. I miss her dearly still.
I love that! Yes, Christmas is a wonderful time because of the many hours of planning and work that mothers put into making it so. My mother was a child, one of five, during the awful years of the Great Depression. Her father was a blacksmith and her mother was a “ practical “ nurse. I think that meant she worked nursing sick people on an individual basis, not in a hospital. All to make ends meet. Christmas in my mother’s household was mostly stockings filled with fruit and nuts . This was typical of the times, so they didn’t feel deprived. But, when she had children of her own, well, Momma went into action. God bless her for making something wonderful out of Christmas , for us.
I’m 74 and became the “mother” of my 4 siblings at age 15 after mother died tragically from a poorly done surgery. My father deserted us. So…we raised ourselves together. my older brother was 21, so we could stay together (legally). I have provided the “glue” for my family. The home, the holiday celebrations, the care taking. I’ve done it with such love and sense of responsibility to each of them. You see….we had no parents.
This video and comments is inspiring me to “carry on”.
I feel tired, not ill but the usual challenges of aging. I keep wanting someone else to step in and provide the holiday celebration. BUT this video has set me straight. My life has been filled with tremendous love and respect from all of my siblings. I am blessed. I was given the honor of being the matriarch. It has made my life full.
Viewing my special place in my family fills my heart. My holiday celebrations will continue. ❤
Merry Christmas
@@bethreisman8869 God bless you for doing everything you did to keep your family together. We all recognize that what you did is amazing. When you look around at the totally irresponsible messed up adults we see on the news , it is obvious you were very mature for your age. And your older brother also deserves our respect. What I would suggest is that you ask for everyone to bring a dish. Whether or not they make it from scratch or buy it from Cracker Barrel, it will be fine. No ned to remind them that you have done the whole thing all your life, just let them know that from now on it truly will be a family dinner for any of the holidays. They will soon begin to have a new appreciation for what it takes to put a big dinner on the table. The expense does not need to be all yours, nor does the work. You hug those boys and girls and make them feel like they are so special. All will be fine.
Merry Christmas to you and Desi.. I'm excited for 2025. It's going to be a challenging year but I'm up for the challenge. I'm going back to college and finishing my degree at 65. Better late then never. I have been married for 43 years, raised my children, helped raise my grandchildren and retired from a auto plant. So now, it's my turn to do something for me. Enjoy your holiday! ❤❤
That’s awesome!!!
I was 41 years old when I finished my bachelor's degree. You go, Girl! Education can never be taken from you!
I am so happy for you!! Happy learning! ♥️
My aunt decided to become an attorney at 65. Another friend had been a homemaker all her life, and at 65 went to school and became a teacher. She worked until she was almost 100. Why not?!! Best of luck to you!
Wishing you the best year EVER! Your courage is inspiring 🎄
Animals are so healing and so distracting from grief. This year I lost my dad and my only son. The pain is immense. Seeing Desi singing actually makes me laugh; I can't help it. He really puts his heart and soul into it. I have a cat who needs attention all the time. He is more like a dog. He is keeping me going. Have a happy Christmas and joyous New Year x
I am so sorry for your losses. My mother passed a year ago and I just was told a few months ago. It just doesn't feel like Christmas this year. I'm very glad you have a fur baby you love that loves you too. Sending love and prayers from "The friend you now have."
Blessings to you dearest! Cats are mystical creatures. Your kitty can sense your broken spirit and may want to be near to help you heal. Sending you hope, virtual hugs and healing prayers!
Bless you🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Sending love and prayers to you and your family. RIP dad and son! Christmas healing ❤️🩹
It's so sad when you lose your loved ones. Like you, I know the joy of animals are a blessing
Merry Christmas Susan and handsome Desi! You guys make the world a beautiful place.
I am having a very difficult year taking care of both my elderly parents who suddenly seemed to falter and weaken. I am soon to be 67, and did not anticipate this unrelenting drama of two parents desperately depending on me for everything, all the while being angry at me and life for being so needy. Mom has dementia and Dad has a serious heart condition…both have been living with me until mom went into a home. I have been so tired, neglecting my own needs (it’s what I do), and basically not feeling any Christmas spirit this year. I am in tears after watching your video because listening to your gentle voice and your words of wisdom, along with your beautiful filming, I have gotten my spirit back. I recently lost 2 of my best women friends and a man I was with for many years. You feel like a dear friend, and your video has touched my ♥️. I have a renewed outlook, and I will approach the coming few days with a grateful heart. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me and so many others.
I will say prayers everything will work out for you...you have such a beautiful heart...please, take care of yourself. The world needs more wonderful caring women like you...A very Merry Christmas, Susan & Desi
@@Katrn30 prayers for a wonderful holiday for you!!
@@LittlePoet thank you so much, and I wish you a beautiful Christmas to you and Desi!
@@622barmacost how kind of you! I wish the same for you. What a great community this is!
Carer is such a hard time. I send you so much love, courage and hugs to hang onto when you feel helpless. I know where you are as after my husband has passed away last year I am now continuing to care for my son on my own. Its tough on the heart, as you want to cure them, but you can't. It is just out of your hands. You can only be there for them and I know that means the world to them. Look after yourself and have a Merry Christmas.
All alone and sad. But, not anymore. Watching this video brought me tears of sadness, loneliness and finally tears of joy when I watched you and Desie sing Jingle Bells. I laughed and smiled until I realized that I’m not alone, I have many friends on RUclips and each of them are special beyond belief!
Thank y’all, God Bless and Merry Christmas to everyone. Love you all!🙏🏻🎄❤️🎄🙏🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🎄
Merry Christmas from one of your friends!!
Merry Christmas Dawn !!! Hugssss
Merry Christmas to you and Desi, I needed to tell you you have saved me. I wake up some morning so empty after losing my husband eight weeks ago, and I go to you every morning and watch and rewatch your inspiration your words, your kindness, your love and it reminds me that I still have a lot of life ahead of me and that everything will work out in the end. But I wanted to take this time to tell you thank you And merry Christmas to you and how much I appreciate all your words all your kindness that you show everyone.
I needed this video Susan, this year has been a hard one my husband of 53 years was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer so after 44 rounds of radiation and hormone therapy he completed just two weeks ago, I was feeling so hopeful, I decorated my home, bought special Christmas gifts and was looking forward to a blessed Christmas, but fate had a different plan, I took a bad fall last week, and ended up going to hospital ( my first ambulance ride) I have a broken shoulder and arm on my dominant arm, it’s so painful and I can’t do anything for myself, my poor husband is now taking care of me, he is still recovering himself. I have been feeling sorry for myself, and worrying about him, but this video snapped me out of it…. I’ll just count our blessings instead.
Merry Christmas to you, and Desi, and loved ones xo
Sending loads of good wishes and prayers. Hugs.
❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hope you are on the mend soon and your husband too!!
Thank you everyone ❤️
Thank you Susan. This holiday season has been rough. I got laid off from my job last month and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to survive. I'm not sure I have enough to retire, but getting another job at my age (65) will be a challenge. Your videos give me positivity and hope, and I truly appreciate you for it. Merry Christmas to you and everyone else in this wonderful community!

Ah, thank you so much for being here! A very Merry Christmas to you and yours! Susan and Desi...
"Looks like magic dust, let's make a wish!" LOVE that!! ❤ She has your spirit ✨️
Love the stories you told us from all your beautiful followers. Two years ago my neighbour was left alone by her husband and after 48 years of marriage she didn’t see it coming. She was alone on New Year’s Eve. I went to her and said oh no you are coming with us. She gave me a big smile and came to us with her little dog and stayed until the morning and talked , eat and had lot’s of champagne, we had a toast on the next year and now she is doing fine, living with her daughter and is happy again ❤ Merry Christmas Susan, Desi and to all your followers 🎄
God Bless You for your kindness.
❤
Such a kind gesture!!
My mom loved you too Susan! We would talk about how much we love your videos. This video was touching on so many levels. It is amazing how simple things can make such an impact. When Mom was sick with cancer last year, she insisted that I pick up several food trays for the nurses. When I went to the grocery store to pick up all of the food, I told the woman how beautiful the food looked and explained who it was going to. I started to cry and she hugged me like we were family. She asked Mom's name so she could pray for her. I needed that hug and the prayers and I will never forget her. While Mom was sick, we had some of our most beautiful moments together. We both love birds, and I sat and read a bird book to her about different types of birds. I will never forget her sweet smile she gave me while I was reading to her. Christmas won't ever be the same without Mom. She was the candle that lit the room for us. The best way I know to honor Mom is to make Christmas special for our family. I love you Susan and I hope that you will have a beautiful Christmas with your family. xoxo
Service Industry Person here... God bless you for giving that guy that fat tip girl. God will bless you for doing that. You are such a precious soul. Merry Christmas Susan.
Nothing brings me more joy that hearing sweet Desi sing! The stories of the three women were so touching. I ordered a pillbox for myself to support Anastasia in the Ukraine. May the change of power in our country aide in bringing peace to hers. Wishing all a Merry Christmas.
Just goes to show how our comments matter doesn’t it. We type away wondering if anyone else will read them and sometimes what we write matters to someone. That’s why hurtful comments matter and you have to take responsibility when you write them. Susan you’re a beautiful person inside and out……thank you for all your wonderful videos you give us all throughout the year. Your input really helps and matters to soooo many people. You work hard for us and although we help each other n this Chanel we wouldn’t be able to but for you and Desi. He makes everyone’s week when he sings and makes his appearances. Thank God for both of you. Merry Christmas 🌸🌲
Oh, you are so sweet and you made me cry. You words are very improtant to me...and to others as well. So many of the gals here I don't think realize how precious thier words are to so many. I hope you have a wonderful happy Christmas this year. I appreciate you so much for being here...much love to you and yours, Susan & Singing Desi
Merry Christmas to you and Desi . You contribute so much joy and encouragement to all of us throughout the year. Love and best wishes for the new year.🙏💓
This is the way we should feel all the time not just because of Christmas.
Yes, kind caring, thoughtful, thankful and giving of one's time and treasure.
❤❤❤❤ Thank you for your support for Ukraine!!! I am proud of you, because not many people want to speak about! I think that they are afraid…. Thank you again and Happy Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤
Every day I pray for peace in the Ukraine and Israel. I agree we all need peace. Merry Christmas to you and Desi and thank you so much for the smiles! 😊
I love the pill box and praying this war will end soon. The Ukrainian people have endured a war that never should have happened. All of these stories are so touching. I love Desi and hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you and Desi for a wonderful year of thoughts and singing!
Susan, as I watch another poignant video of yours on this Solstice night, I wanted to thank you for turning my heart around.
I’m surviving from and am healing from a very emotionally abusive relationship.
I have been doing all the Christmas things, decorating, making cookies, buying gifts searching for the spirit.
But, watching your video tonight, I realized why I couldn’t find it is because I’m smiling on the outside but inside the hurt and anger at all the unnecessary pain I lived through has put me on a defensive road of hardness and feeling bitter.
I was shocked at the realization because didn’t realize it. I’m not that kind of person. I’m usually a gentle and jubilant person. It broke my heart and opened my eyes. You saved me tonight from a future I don’t want to have.
After a lot of tears and a long conversation with God, I turned a healing corner tonight. Tonight of all nights, the celebration of the return of the light.
I found my light with your help, Christmas angel. Merry Christmas to you and Desi.
Bless you, friend, and thanks.❤🎄
Glad to hear you are feeling better about your future!!
@ thank you. Merry Christmas!🎁
I can’t thank you enough Susan for your posts, I have come to look forward to them so much. You help me see that I’m not alone and there is so much to appreciate about life. I just love Desi and his singing it brings such joy to my heart. He is a special guy. Have a merry Christmas you bring joy to so many. Blessings to you my RUclips friend.
Ah thank you so much for being here! I hope your Christmas is full of love and joy! Much love to you and yours, Susan & Desi
I dont usually comment. I felt inspired to share how much your videos have helped me sort thru so many feelings and gain perspective. Your bare bones honesty is refreshing
Hi Susan. - Right as the crisis in the Ukraine was building up, I had bought a lovely throw pillow cover from a gal in Poland (on Etsy) as she too was being affected by the situation. When I opened the package, she had add a small beautiful lace doily she had made. It was her way of letting me know that she was okay. it was so touching, like the pill box you received. - Back then, I noticed that there were many artisans from the Ukraine who sold their wares on Etsy. (They art work is BEAUTIFUL). What I also noticed is that the people of the Ukraine were VERY self-sufficient through their artistic talents. It saddened me to know that their lives were displaced, but you have shown me that they are making a come back.
Anywhoos, Your Christmas tree is just beautiful! It's truly cozy and heart warming. You, like the artisans in the Ukraine, are truly resilient. Lastly, You and Desi are a hoot! Watching him sing with you is just so much fun. It brought a smile to me, that I much needed upon finalizing this day.
May you have a safe, blessed Merry Christmas.
Ah thank you so much for being here! I loved what you said about the artisans being resilient! It is hard to know so many are suffering...we rest when we can but we never give up the fight for what is right! I hope you have a wonderful happy Christmas this year. I appreciate you so much for being here...much love to you and yours, Susan & Singing Desi
I did the same thing - I had bought a stained glass bird (a Brown Thrasher) from a Ukrainian seller on Etsy just before the invasion. It was beautiful, and I immediately ordered a female Cardinal but the order was cancelled because they all had to leave to go to a bomb shelter. Their shop was in a town right near the Russian border. Months later they were back home and I ordered the Cardinal again, and I also ordered more stained glass from a seller in Kiev. I encourage people to buy stained glass pieces from Ukraine. They take longer to arrive (mine each took a month or more) but the quality is so good and the pieces are worth the wait. I love to support the people in Ukraine.
Oh Susan, I so look forward to your video every week !
You make me smile, you make me cry, you make me happy!
And your little dog Desi is so special! I'm so glad you have him❤️🤗🎄
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Susan, reading through all the comments I am struck with the number of people suffering. I know it’s the human condition and if you believe… there will be eternal peace. I hope when you read the comments, you realize what a profound positive and uplifting impact you have on all of us followers! Much Love
The suffering is real...it has changed me...I appreciate life so much more...and I pray a lot more for everyone here that has a broken heart...my love ot you always, Susan & Desi
May you and Desi have a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi and all who visit here. What a blessing it is for the gift of eternal life that came from the life of the Christmas Baby. May that lift us up, push us onward, and dry our tears. God bless us-every one well said from Tiny Tim.🎄🎄🎄
Thank you for your weekly videos. They always bring me such joy. I have been thinking today about my friend who just found out that she’s no longer in remission from her Stage 4 cancer. We were hugging and crying together this morning. We are reminded that each moment is precious and should be cherished. Pick up the phone and call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Write a letter. Be there for the people you love. Life is fleeting. Merry Christmas Susan and Desi…and everyone who reads this. 🎄❄️🎅
What a beautiful video Susan. You bring light to all our lives.
I cried during those letters, especially the last one as it hit home to when it was just me and my son as almost three months old, living in a small one bedroom apt and no family close by… but what a blessing and those ladies experienced joy from that young family.
That Ukraine young woman so brave, artistic and that pill box beautiful… the truck driver so thankful and first thought his children.
Thank you Susan for sharing.
I had an accident in my kitchen on Tuesday and burned my left hand pretty badly all for the sake of a good cup of coffee that never got to have… recovering now but first and a part is 2nd degree burn. Thankfully by son and daughter in law live about 45 minutes drive away. I spent two days there before coming home and left my dog with them to give me time to heal a bit.
Your video helped brighten my night and just fills my heart with thanks and gratitude.
Merry Christmas to you and Desi and all your followers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗😘🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
God Jul! .....(Merry Christmas) from Sweden. Oh Susan, I wish that you and Desi will have a Wonderful Christmas togheter with Near and Dear. Thank you for sharing this video with us this Christmas.. Tears are running down my cheeks while watching. I agree with you, who are we whining about small "daily things" when there are so many others suffering at this time. A time which is said to be a happy time and time to celebrate.
Soon to be 3 years the war has been going on in the Ukraine and many has had to flee their Country, while some decided to stay.....
To all watching this video I really Whish that you will have a good Christmas and to the people in Ukraine I hope you will have a good and Calm Christmas. Lets hope for Peace in your Country next year. A Country that will sadly never be what it always was. Lets pray for No more sacrifices so your daily life can be almost the same as before the war. Blessings to all and bless this Christmas with Love and and a Hope for Peace!
Susan you hit the nail on the head...our woes are so small compared to those in the war zones!That's why we love you cause you bring us back to reality!Merriest of Christmases with your family!❤
You and your little dog singing Jingle Bells made me smile. I have Covid and am so sick and I'm sad I am missing Christmas with my family. Plus, just two weeks ago I lost my little dog. I had him 1
6 years. I miss him so much. So, as you can tell you and Dessie made me smile, just what I needed to hear. Merry Christmas.
Sweet Desi is the best! Lets pray for peace all the world ❤❤❤
Oh my, dearest Desi, you may me laugh till tears flowed. I just adore your singing. Thank you Susan for another wonderful video. May you and Desi enjoy your Christmas and a very healthy happy new year to you. ❤️💕
Desi really is getting into it this year!!!! Merry Chritmas sweet friend!!!
Merry Christmas Susan and little Desi! The song was fabulous!!!
18:43 You and Desi's rendition of Jingle Bells was so precious!! Merry Christmas ❤❤
With tears in my eyes I send you this text. This video was so touching can I related to it on so many levels. My mom was dying just a year ago and she died right after Christmas. But at Christmas I was able to sit next to her in the hospital and hold her hand and hug her and now I can't and I miss her so deeply. Your videos bring me so much joy. And at the end when you and Desi were singing I went from a hearty laugh to bursting into tears. Thank you, you are such a blessing to me in my life.
OHHH, I am hugging you now. My husband died a week before Christmas, it was the toughest Christmas to get through in my life without him, I felt so numb. I know the loss what you are feeling, as I am missing him so again. The holidays i think will always be hardest as you miss those you loved so much. Blessings to you.
Thank you so much for your kind and understanding words. Sending you a huge hug of comfort and thanks ❤
In the midst of a very low place, full of unknown tears, Desi brings me the warmth my heart needed. I just love him. 😘🐾
Merry Christmas Susan...and Desi...thank you so much for all your encouragement...much love...
OMG Susan! What a wonderful peek into your life and others who you spoke about! That alone was the best Christmas gift!! The 25th is my birthday as well and I feel so blessed to have seen this. I cried, laughed and counted my blessings. Merry Christmas to you and Desi!! Bless you!!
You are so right about our words influencing others, for good or bad. After hearing your tradition of tipping the waitress I came up with a new tradition for this and future Christmases. We filled out five holiday cards and inserted $20 in each one. My husband personalized them with our first names and wrote "You are loved". We are handing them out to people on the streets asking for money. Thank you for your channel!
I love that idea!
Always look forward to your videos. I know that Christmas can be a very hard time for some people and we really need to take inventory of the blessings we have. I was born in a small coal mining town in Eastern Ky. but I was one of the blessed ones because my family owned a grocery store and we were spoiled. My husband was from that same town and his father was a Coal miner. My husband shared what his life was like and how on Christmas they looked so forward to candy and fruit and how excited he was to get a cap gun. He said he felt so rich. I. Share this because we need to take the time to realize all though I was spoiled I know that little cap gun meant more to my husband than all the things I got. It is not how much you get under the tree that makes us happy it is the joy of feeling blessed. I know he felt like he owned the world and was so rich. He grew up from that little boy and put himself though collage and helped his sister through collage. He mad a teacher and the kids loved him. When he recognized. The need of a student what ever it was he was there for them. Cancer took him at a young age but that little boy with the cap gun made such a difference in people’s lives. He taught 4 th grade and they named the school gym for him and put a bronze plaque on the wall. That little boy from a coal mining town touched more lives in such a short time than most people do in a life time. I was blessed to be called his wife. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
What a lovely memory that you shared of your husband. It is true that in those days the smallest things meant so much. I believe people of that age, just were more grateful than this world generation with so much plenty, now, so many take so much for granted. My father used to tell us about the day at school he got his first pencil and his parents bought him a pair of shoes, that he would tie the laces and wear over his shoulder, only wearing them when he got to school, so they wouldn't wear out. Yet he felt so excited and rich to have both. Blessings to you for reminding me of my fathers stories he would tell, as it brought his love to me..
My family lives in Eastern Kentucky too❤ that's my second home 🏠
@ mine too. I was from Combs but the town is Hazard.
@@dorisdaylight8415 glad you enjoyed it. My husband has been gone 25 years.
Merry Christmas Susan, and little Desi! ❤ I am a fairly recent widow, I feel so lost sometimes, and really look forward to your show on Saturday evening's! Me, and my little dog Delilah watch you, 😉 ❤🎄🎄🎄
My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband.
I enjoyed your comments Susan! The pill box was beautiful! I’m so glad you have achieved so much this year! Hope you have blessed holidays head! Love the songs withDesi! God Bless! Believe on the lord Jesus Christ and you will e saved and your rewards will be waiting for you in heaven! You deserve the best!
What Joy just seeing Desi rally sing. It just made me really smile.
Susan, my dear Brother died on Tuesday. Seven months to the day my Mum died. But this with my poor Brother has been far harder.
My Dad and I are having the most awful time. I loved your warm video today, and am going to watch it again and again. Thankyou ❤
Love to you and Desi and everyone on this channel xxx
Bless you both🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🎄🎄
You are so right about the power of the utube community. A channel I watch recently drove to the bus station to pick up her sister, who is 35 and in her second trimester, no father involved. They live in an off-grid camp, and in aweek one of their viewers gave her a 5th wheel camper with a slide out. (it needed major clean up). Viewers requested she start a wish list, her sis helped her start a channel and she already has 2,000 subs, the comments are 90% warm, helpful, kind words that have brought tears to the eyes of this (hardened) woman who was homeless/hopeless in CA a month ago. When I worry about our country and world I remember that people everywhere are doing loving things everyday, and utube shows us a lot of it. I'm so glad you created a kind community, and I wish you and yours a lovely holiday, Joy
Miss seeing you tonight, hope all is well. 🙏🏼
At the close of another year I'd like to tell you I have so enjoyed watching your channel.
And we just adore Desi. What fun to listen to both of you singing. Makes me smile every time. A blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year
One word sums you up Susan.. Angel sent from heaven to bring us all joy and love on earth.
Your my earth Angel for sure. And desi is an absolute delight that follows .
Love you both so much. Your like family to me ❤❤
I love your channel. You and Desi are part of my life. I always end up laughing out loud at the singing duo. Merry Christmas Susan and here's wishing you all you wish for yourself in 2025.🎉
Such a heartwarming video, Susan. Love all your great Christmas finds. Merry Christmas to you and sweet, adorable Desi and your family. Sending love from sunny Florida
❤
I just found you and I started crying because the 1st story is similar to mine. My mom lived with me and was my best friend. She passed away suddenly the end of 2022. My Dad passed away in February of the same year. I never dreamed I would lose both my parents in the same year. Im on disability from a back injury so she was my everything since I cant work. We took care of each other. Its too quiet in my house now without her. 😢 Its been so difficult to be without her 💔 I adore your little dog. My dogs are what keep me going and give me purpose. I LOVE THE TWO OF YOU SINGING! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🤶🎅🧸 🎄
Hi Susan, you and Desi singing gets me every time❣️ I lost my dogs this year and it brought tears to my eyes.
I’m so happy that you have a wonderful home and companion, that you are warm and well fed and your family is close by.
I’m so sorry for your loss, bless you, i know the heartbreak of losing a furbabies.🐾🐾🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
@ TY
Susan/Des : The Christmas Song at the end of the video made my day. 😂
Susan…..you and DESI bring sooooo much joy…..thank you!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas. Thank you for helping me put life in perspective. I will keep those in need in my thoughts as I go about my life. You show how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life. I appreciate your weekly videos.
Oh Susan I just want to send a warm hug to those beautiful ladies who wrote you!!!!!! What you did for the man with his little boy, well, those are the things that I'm sure make God smile. Merry Christmas to you and Desi. Merry Christmas to all .
Your videos are always so special and serene. I love when you take us to the thrift stores and share your finds. Desi is too special & lovable beyond words. You are such a deep thinker & soulful person. Wishing you & Desi & your beautiful family a wonderful holiday!!
I waited to watch this this morning (Christmas Day) since I am alone (with my dog). My husband is in memory care this year. I will visit and have lunch with him. Thank you for such a beautiful video and profound message (s)…it touched my heart 🎄
As always such a heartfelt and beautiful video Susan. My mama passed away 5 years ago and Christmas is always so hard for me as she made them so special. I loved watching you so much, it brought back the Christmas spirit back. Thank you Susan🙏🏼 ❤ Wishing you, Desi and your family a very Merry Christmas xo 🎄🥰
Getting ready to fly to Florida to be with my kids and grand daughters. My mom passed on December 17th many year ago and she lived with me until she was 85. So writing her a letter to her may lift my spirits. Love Desi
when he sings, makes me laugh and cry. Wishing you a Merry Christmas so Bona Natalie.

I can't tell you how much you and Desi add to our lives. Every time l see the two of you perform you get even better. And dapper, little Desi looks adorable in his sweater.
Susan, the stories made me cry with love and Joy. I feel a connection now with Anesthsia and am praying for Peace for her and around the World. Also, I love the idea of writing to my long passed mother. DESi! You are such a good singer. Merry Christmas to both of you.
I went to the website to support Anastasia in Ukraine! I was so happy to see that some of her items were sold out… she is doing well! I will be making a purchase also. So many pretty things, I can’t decide! And I love the duet with you and Desi at the end of the video! Blessings to you both! 🙏🏻💕
You and Desi singing Jingle Bells was so precious and fun, it made me cry! You both stay warm and keep smiling!
Another cozy evening with friends. I can’t tell you what joy it brings me to watch you and Desi sing. He’s such a good sport with all his accessories. You are truly blessed. Merry Christmas!❤🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
I started to cry when you spoke about crying for those we lost since today (12/22) is the 7th anniv. of my husband passing. And yet, I was laughing with those tears in my eyes at you and Desi singing. Thanks for have a Blessed Christmas (Desi too).
Boy! Desi has never sang better! He was on it! Wonderful, wonderful episode! Thank you and Merry Christmas!🎄
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi…knocked it out of the park again on Jingle Bells ..once again! Love you both and thank you Susan for another beautiful year.❤..Love, Liz
This just made my week, always look forward to Sat. night,,,Merriest of Christmas to you and Desi...God Bless you
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi❤! Beautiful video and your home looks so beautiful, warm and inviting, see you next week, love Tammy🌲✝️🎁🎅🧑🎄
Dear Susan and Desi, I just want to hug you for all the love and joy that you are bringing to me each week. This week's video is so special. Your words regarding Anastasia who is living in Ukraine were so inspiring. It is so true that we have to put our problems in perspective. Have a very merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi! What a heartfelt video and Desi singing at the end is a joy. God Bless.
Desi is such a crooner! It never gets old
Susan Thank You for the love and light you bring to me and all the lovely ladies here! I am not alone this year after visiting with you!
♥️♥️♥️
Merry Christmas to You and Desi!
🎄🎄☃️☃️🎄🎄
Oh, you are so sweet!!! I hope you have a wonderful happy Christmas this year. I appreciate you so much for being here...much love to you and yours, Susan & Singing Desi
Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎄💗🎄🎄
Merry Christmas Susan and dear Desi. You are able to articulate your feelings so clearly, which is a blessing for those with similar feelings.
I love your messages. You incorporate visual, and musical beauty while creating a sense of community.
Desi warms my heart. He is precious especially when he sings.
I agree with paying it forward anonymously. A small example, is when I'm in a drive though, getting a coffee As I'm ordering, I inform the worker at the window I'd like to pay for the car in front of me. When they hit the pick-up window, they're are told..."Your food has been paid for."
It gives me Joy to share and give to others.
Merry Christmas. Praying for peace, hope, joy, and love for all. 🎄🔔✨
Oh my goodness when Desi sings with you i just loose it ,my eyes tear up and i laugh so much ,I'm wishing you and Desi a blessed Christmas with your family, and may our Father keep his full Armour and precious energy upon you and Desi and all your family, from the top of your heads to the bottom of your feet and paws 😄love is the key, always 💞 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🐶🥰🎁
This is the most precious video ever!! I was just sitting here eating my dinner, and began watching your video, not feeling emotional whatsoever, and now I have tears running down my cheeks. The letters/comments that you read to us were so heartwarming! And your song that you sung with your cute little Desi was just the icing on the cake, with whipped cream and a cherry on top! Thank you for this uplifting and sweet message that you have shared with us! I wish you, your cute little doggy, and all of your community/followers a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🧑🎄🦌🛷🎁✌️❤️
Desi puts his whole heart into those high notes. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you both!
Wow what a great heart wrenching story. I’m not sure why I got teary eyed but it pulled at my heart strings. You invoked so many feelings and memories. Rembering my current losses and being so grateful for all that the Lord has given me. Thank you so much. Sometimes we just need to know that everything will be okay. Love you and Desi. Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Everyone! I love your video’s! You are like an older sister I never had. I look forward to seeing you and Desi on Saturdays. This is the time of year for quiet reflection. I’m transitioning from the old me to the new and improved me. I which I could say it has been easy but it hasn’t. But I’m a lot better than I was a few short months ago.
I’m getting older and my body doesn’t do all the things it use to. I must admit I have not been very patient with myself, it’s been frustrating and sometimes I would just scream.
I’m learning to love myself and to be patient with myself, after all we only get one body and we only get one life, I have decided to embrace mine. When we are loving and accepting of ourselves then we can be loving and accepting of others.
I get tunnel vision sometimes, so focused on things I need to do, I don’t stop to notice the roses, much less stop to smell them.
You have taught me Susan that yes we do get busy, but never get too busy to help someone, to reach out to someone, to show someone they matter. This year in 2025 I’m going to start being more of a giver and less of a taker. Thank you Susan. I love your video’s because you are more like family. Merry Christmas to you and Desi! Love you both singing at the end! Much love ❤️
Your house is so cozy and lovely!!! The art that you have curated for your home is just fantastic! You and Desi make my heart glad every week and I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful and joyful Christmas!!! God is good!
Have a BEAUTIFUL Christmas Susan and PRECIOUS little Desi🎄🩷💜💙🎁🎄
For the last few years my mom was in a nursing home. I'd planned for her to come home for Christmas but at the last minute my hubby told me his boss was not giving q turkey that year and l couldn't get one. I told my mom we'd have her favorite, spaghetti. She said no. The following Christmas she said sadly, l guess my babies (stuffed animals) and l will have Christmas here (in the home). I told her l already bought a turkey and l was making her fave rum trifle. She was so happy but a week before the big day they sent her to hospital (long story) and she died there on Christmas. Every time l hear the song, "l'll be home for Christmas," l cry.
What beautiful comments from amazing women. I will look at Anastasia on Etsy. I'll see if you left a link. The pill box is so beautiful! And what your granddaughter said, and you made a wish, will be something she always remembers, and will one day , have your pill box.
My mom's last Christmas is this year. She is end stage heart failure, she has pneumonia now as well. It's been 12 days in the hospital. I've written her a 6 page letter a few months ago, thanking her for all the great memories, and shared ones she forgot about, or didn't realize how much they meant. Everyone tell your parents you love them! It's so meaningful to them, to know their life and sacrifices meant something. Merry Christmas Susan and desi! Great job Desi
Thankyou for a beautiful and special video tonight. The three stories were tear makers for sure. You bring so much inspiration and encouragement to all of us. Wishes for a blessed Christmas to you and your family and little Desi. Jinglebells duo a real treat. Thankyou. ❤
🎄🎁🎀This was a wonderful video. I'm so happy to see the stories you discovered, and how they affected your life. It's been a tough year and a wonderful year for me. I lost my two shitzu's, in March, and Nov. They were twins, 14 years old, it would have been their 15th Birthdays on Thanksgiving Day. We also lost two family members (my brother in law to Alzheimer's and my other brother in law to Cancer). I was able to finally meet all my Grandchildren which was wonderful, and our family is slowly healing from the political divide and pandemic issues. I'll pray for you and Desi to have a beautiful Christmas and New Year 2025! (My Birthday is New Year's Day). I could use a little prayer in selling my house we've had for 20 years. Rough times. Love you Susan and your channel. Keep Rockin'!
Asking the Father to send a buyer for your home. And, help you in packing. Give you strength physically, emotionally. Happy Birthday...a year of new beginnings. Prayers for protection. Jesus loves you. Me n Spanky my pup❤
I love listening to you share. Yes, faith in God is everything! Jesus is what Christmas is all about.
Beautiful tonight, thank you and I too love reading your comments. Your followers are sweet and dear.
WOW. Jingle Bells is the best. Thanks for being a loving hero to Dezi. Yes, always add the music! Lord, give me peace in my life...
Merry Christmas Susan & Desi and God Bless 🙏❤️🙏
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi . I so enjoyed your singing at the end. Oh me sweet Desi just chimes right in there , so stinking cute !! Love your Christmas outfits Susan, you will be beautiful!
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi ❤️🎄🐾🙏❤️
