I feel better now hearing this notice. You’re ok and that’s good. It’s kind of awkward not celebrating this holiday. Having things when others may have nothing. You know the whole dichotomy of a holiday that celebrates one who gave everything to everyone it’s kind of sad we get caught up in our own traditions and miss the big picture. I hope you are warm on this brutally frigid night and hope you have a peaceful loving holiday. Thank you for your presence. Which is a present
I just have to applaud what you said Larry, I'm so happy to hear your views on thinking of other people that aren't as lucky as us at this festive time of year, I'm from the UK , I live in Milton Keynes city center, I hope I have made a tiny difference by handing out a little food and money to the people that are in the cold, I'm grateful for you and your views, have a lovely time with your loved one's 🙏💜💙
Thank you for the applause I don’t get much of that these days. I have a bifurcated feeling about xmass. My family celebrated it non religiously when I was a child and I loved it. I’m not Christian so we stoped when I was 8 but almost all my friends celebrated it and included me up until they all moved far away or had families of their own or simply passed on. I have wonderful memories of the feasts the company of their families and the gifts they went out of their ways to include me. I went caroling with them and enjoyed playing in school orchestras for the Christmas performances. I studied comparative religions most of my life and have concluded we all believe the same things but hardly practice what we have been taught. I think people are afraid of letting themselves care about each other because it makes us vulnerable. I don’t mind vulnerability because there’s little I can truly do about it. I have spent my day binging Shirley temple movies trying to keep warm. And yes I cry with every movie even though I know how they end. Im glad you embrace this holiday for what it’s true intent is. I’m also glad for this video since it’s so sweet and warm and I have my dog back and if Michelle ever moves from under the mistletoe I could fall asleep. I wish you and all who come to this sanctuary peace and love as we head to a new year which promises to be a challenge as well as a blessing of hope. ❤
@@larrymarcus3176 I think you're really sweet, I'm Irish Catholic, on my dad's side, Irish that is, he taught us good morals and, said we should treat others the way we would like to be treated, he was a great man 🙏
I think about this often and I am great-- safely returned home after a rather challenging train during the storm. After spending my past two Christmases alone in the city with the pets, the quietude of Christmas in the city has a special place in my heart. I often feel overwhelmed with all the things I want to do to make the world a little better. 🥰
I'm a long time listener of Michelle, but I've had a lot of life going on over the years as most do. She is such a genuine and sweet human being who is an incredibly good story teller that I cant help but type a run on sentence 🤗
I can't help but write stories full of run-on sentences so we are absolutely on the same page. Thank you for being part of this sanctuary for so long and I wish you many moments to dream away in the new year!
Merry Christmas Michelle! You can never know how much your stories have enriched many lives, mine included. The love and care and genuine connection that comes through with each story is a blessing when it's so easy to feel alone and uncared for. I shall sleep well tonight, with a full belly, a full heart from Christmas with my family, and a calm mind from your voice and story. Namaste.
Your comment is so beautiful and thank you for being part of this sanctuary. It sounds like a lovely holiday and I wish you more fulfilling days and dreamy nights to come in 2023!
Thank you for yet another perfect story to end my day. Every character and every moment like a distant memory being brought back to life. Never stop being you. Your beautiful stories and soothing voice are always a pleasure to enjoy. Thank you for the best Christmas gift of the year.
What a beautiful comment to read and thank you so much, Michelle-- for being part of this sanctuary. What you described is exactly the type of experience I hope people feel when they listen!
Honestly I like listening to these Christmas stories after the holidays. I tend to put pressure on myself to be 'in the mood,' so listening to these in January is very relaxing for me. Good night! 😴
Merry Christmas Michelle! And if you don't celebrate, happy holidays! I hope you rest with as much comfort this night as you've given everyone else watching this video.
Thank you! I had a wonderful, eventful couple of weeks and am so grateful to return to creating in the quietude of my apartment during the winter months. Hope you continue to listen and dream away in 2023!
thank you Michelle hunni, very grateful that you was able to do a Christmas meditation, you really do go above and beyond for us, sending you a truly special Christmas sweetie, hope it's everything you dreamed of, I'm going to my families home tomorrow, I even get to make the Christmas dinner, then the new king's speech, have a wonderful new year Michelle, much love and hugs 🙏💜💙💖🎊❄️☃️
Yay!! You did it!! I wasn't sure if you would I've loved all of the Christmas stories this season but I'm over the moon to hear this one. You're an angel Michelle ! I hope you and yours have a magical holiday season. So much love to you ❤️
@@MichellesSanctuary Merry Christmas! This is a delight-- you are a delight! It's the best asmr gift I could ask for ! Lol thank you for everything you do I may not be able to help contribute much now but as soon as I am back on my feet I'll definitely be contributing more! Which I've never really done for anyone on the internet/media /youtube nor any asmartist; but you deserve it ❣️🤗
Since it is Christmas Day, I have enjoyed this story that relaxed me from all the excitement throughout the day. Thank You Michelle! And Happy Holidays!
I'm so glad! I wasn't sure if anyone would have a chance to listen on the holiday and was hoping it would be a great way to wind down. Wishing you the best to come in 2023! 🥰
🎉Merry Christmas Michelle!☮️💜👍 Thank you for all your awesome work. Your art has been a yearlong gift that is much appreciated😇 I wish you a wonderful new year full of love and peace.
Thank you, Amy! A belated reply, as the holiday swept me away-- I'm so grateful always for your kind words and support and hope we continue to go on this sleepy adventures in 2023! 🥰
My daughter basically said I ruined Christmas and she doesn’t want to be home. I was trying to comfort her and she told me get out, she doesn’t want me around. Found out this morning my parents told her she couldn’t have a random guy spend the night (she’s 20 and home from college, just got back from Vegas with the marching band and isn’t used to being told no). Said I need therapy and I was deflecting. A psych major using the words wrong. I packed a suitcase but it was too cold and late to go anywhere. I wish my parents hadn’t spoiled her so much growing up. 😢 Thank you for this reprieve. ❤
I saw this just now and I hope that you are feeling better and things resolved? What is it about this time of year? I'm sorry that this happened. You know I think you are an amazing mom and that age can be so hard. I put my mother through a lot at that point of needing to exert my independence.I hope you find love and kindness everywhere you can-- because you deserve it. 🥰
These never give me the dreams I want during sleep. Australia tends to sue plastic trees or ones in pots . Christmas is summer here this year we got a llot of rain .
Merry Christmas Michelle 🎅 🎄 and a Happy New Year 😊 thank you for your fabulous stories ... a true sanctuary 🌟🙏 I'm sleeping better recently ... our 22 week old pup 🐶 is partly responsible for wearing me out tho other factors help too ... including your channel. Thank you, reiki love and light ✨️ 💖
It wasn't at first-- and then, I had a request that I reference her and I listened to the song and let part be inspired by her time on a Christmas Tree Farm.
i love your stories. and i love animals, especially cats. but i have really bad ptsd with dogs. id love if you made a story where the person has a cat instead of a dog some time. thatd be lovely. i listen to all your videos, except the ones with dogs, which i skip.
Keep taking care of yourself, Claire, and if you need any resources through this hard time, I'm sure there are ways to help. I know it's been an incredibly hard time. Wishing you healing and joy and many great dreams to come in 2023.
A very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023! Thank you for this sanctuary which holds many of us in the warm and comforting embrace we so want and need. Thank you so much Michelle. 💙🙏
Thank you, Amalia-- I had a lovely time with my little niece. I hope for this sanctuary to welcome many more listeners in the New Year and for us to enjoy so many new adventures together!

So excited, wasn’t expecting one today so this is a great Christmas gift! Thank you, Michelle! It’s time to dream away…

So sweet and lovely Michelle.Thank you most kindly dear one🌟
Thank you, Brooke! 🥰🥰🥰

I can relate to this (and still have my Christmas tree up to enjoy the lights).

Merry Christmas Michelle! Was this sleep story inspired by Taylor Swift?
It wasn't at first-- and then, I had a request that I reference her and I listened to the song and let part be inspired by her time on a Christmas Tree Farm.
i love your stories. and i love animals, especially cats. but i have really bad ptsd with dogs. id love if you made a story where the person has a cat instead of a dog some time. thatd be lovely. i listen to all your videos, except the ones with dogs, which i skip.
Absolutely-- I definitely have quite a few and may continue to make the "pet" an animal of your choosing. Thank you for sharing!
So is this a fictitious tree farm?
I live near reading and the schuylkill river..
I need this your the only person taking my mind of killing myself. Thank you so much 💓 💗
Keep taking care of yourself, Claire, and if you need any resources through this hard time, I'm sure there are ways to help. I know it's been an incredibly hard time. Wishing you healing and joy and many great dreams to come in 2023.
Do you know the sleep stories made by the "honest guys"? I sometimes need Michelles and sometime theirs..
A very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023! Thank you for this sanctuary which holds many of us in the warm and comforting embrace we so want and need. Thank you so much Michelle. 💙🙏
Thank you, Amalia-- I had a lovely time with my little niece. I hope for this sanctuary to welcome many more listeners in the New Year and for us to enjoy so many new adventures together!
