There was not one thing I didn't adore about this video.How easy it is to forget that not much is needed to celebrate...a little tree, a few angels, a lovely nativity and a Christmas mouse. Thank you for the warm hug.
I love this so much. I crave videos of simple cabin life and crafting and all the simple things that make living a joy. We don't really need very much to experience blessings. Our lives are filled with joy if we have joy in our hearts...and a ball of string...and maybe a nail or two...and a bit of fabric...and love and light in the dark. Merry Christmas to you and bless you!
It's 3:30 am and I am consumed with pain. But you gave me peace and a smile that helped me forget for awhile. I am an old guy that has always been a hermit/loner and I have made Christmas cheer for myself in exactly the same manner you have. I never thought of mice being the recipient of the cookies and milk... What a great surprise! You have a special heart of gold, I quickly see. Thank you for the video Christmas gift you have given here. It brings peace, contentment, and happiness. Merry Christmas to you, my RUclips friend, and all the commenters.
Thank you for your lovely comment! I make these videos with the only hope that I am giving one person some peace and enjoyment, even if it is just for a while. May God bless you and give you a Merry Christmas!!
So much simple beauty! And so much expression with no words. I think a lot of people on the planet are craving this more than ever!!! Merry Christmas and thank you🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hello, I am new to your channel. And oh my goodness I love this video. I have also watched you make Thanksgiving dinner. I am a 69 year old woman, and my parents both grew up poor in the mountains. My Mom from West Virginia, and my Dad from North Carolina. In fact my Dad was half Cherokee. I have fond memories of having live Christmas Trees and making wreaths from live pine. And making gifts, I still have the quilt that my grandma made for me when I was nine years old. She also knitted mittens for me. My Mom would make crochet afghans and homemade pies and cookies. We did home canning and made jelly and preserves. And Applebutter in a big copper kettle over an open fire in the fall. Thank you for bringing those memories back for me. OMG! The mouse, so cute. And the presents from Santa. Love that. ❤
I am so glad you enjoyed it! It's heartwarming to hear your family memories. Such a lovely comment. You completely described what I'm trying to invoke in my videos. Thanks for watching!
Que emoción ver todo esto, en algún momento t uve una Navidad muy humilde,pero no faltó una cena con papas cocidas , un árbol que fuimos a cortar ...servilletas rojas que hice cortando un papel de volantin y mis hijos muy felices , hoy de visita en Canadá disfrutandola familia de mi hija pronta
Was happy to see you decorate for Christmas! And then the little mouse did help himself! Then I thought I wish Santa would bring you a present and then he did!!! Merry Christmas friend! P.s. love your nativity!
This is the way Christmas was and should be this is an awesome man he has the spirit more than anyone it don’t take much to be Happy and Thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ AMEN 🙏🏻 that’s what it’s all about everybody! Thanks Brother !! and Merry Christmas 👍
This absolutely made my Christmas Season! I feel as though I visited the Laura Ingalls Wilder book, "By the Shores of Silver Lake." You have discovered the secret to a happy life.
Just found this tonight and loved the simple things you did with the tree, candles, wreath, and the overall homey feel. Hearing the wind and the water made it even more peaceful. I've had a stressful week and this made me smile!
I was so happy to read your comment. I'm glad the video gave you some peace. That's my whole purpose for making them. It saddens me to read so many comments that are focused on the cracks in the cabin walls. They are missing the point. Too many of use are so concerned about our material wealth and ignoring our spiritual health. Thanks for watching!
All you need for Christmas is love ,joy, and a smile to say thank you Lord I've had that all along it's called a gift from God in blessings to spend this special day of my child hood experiences one more time ..Thank you beautiful spirit you are a gift to all who believe ✨️ in yourself ❤❤😊Amen 🙏
You show society how one can survive without all the baggage. Is it hard, yes, it is but if one works at it little by little it gets easier. Thank you for showing this especially at Christmas time. Blessings
Great little cabin. I’m “assuming” you don’t live in it full time, otherwise, you would have stuffed lots of moss and such in those cracks to keep out the cold and help keep the heat in. It’s so nice to see how simple things can be and, with just what you find in the wilderness to decorated and make it festive. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025!
Sehr nettes und ungewöhnliches Video. Die kreative Dekoration aus Naturmaterialien finde ich sehr schön und die Atmosphäre von bescheidener Weihnactsfreude ist sehr wohltuend! Danke und fröhliche Weihnachten!
Thank you and God bless you as well! Love Scotland. I would love to visit some day. I always thought I must have some Scottish blood. Thanks for watching!
You bet I subscribed! Watching my fellow New Yorker from Rochester. Authentic evergreen air freshener with roots attached and an ugly sweater version. Recycled the fall wreath by pitching it. Sent 2 blow up, non-electric beach ball type lawn Christmas bulbs to my family who relocated to Fla. after covid. It's important to participate. Stay connected in your own way. Thanks for the field trip from my warm home. 12 degrees when I woke up pre-dawn, but little snow.
@@deerriverwild There is not a mansion anywhere that has a more welcoming window than yours with your little Christmas tree glowing. Your stocking containing the orange is reminiscent of the childhood gift of my mother putting one in my stocking, and it was a delightful and special treat to find it there back in the 50's. I had a quiet laugh of delight when you rolled yours out! Blessings to you at Christmas and always.
You, Sir, embody the true meaning of the season. Perfect in every way 🌲 You're creativity is so inspiring and I thank you and send you wishes for a Merry Christmas.
Lo simple y sencillo es lo que llena el corazón. No se necesita mucho, la naturaleza nos brinda todo y noa hay limites para la imaginación y el amor en nuestros corazones. Feliz Navidad. Me encantó tu video. saludos desde Argentina❤
Your comment and so many others are the reason I make these videos. There is so much anger,hatred and stress in the world today. I'm trying in a very small way to give some peace and hope, if only for a few short minutes. Thanks for watching!

It is the blessing when we can experience joy in the simplest things of life and the older I get the more I appreciate this ; def God given🙏🤗🙌
And peace of mind
Yeah, where the heck did that lifestyle go 😢
There is big crack of cold air from your door close to floor and where is closes , that’s sneaking into your warm cabin.

When I was little we had so much fun stringing popcorn and making paper chains, snowflakes and angels for our tree. Miss those old time days
Me too! You can bring back that feeling in small ways by doing those things again. Thanks for watching!
There are so many things I wish he had under his tree at Christmas.

That is my mission. Even if you can experience it for just a little while. Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching!
Other than the cabin looking like it leaks cold air, this is absolutely the best of Christmas
Thank you! The cabin is a work in progress. Stay tuned!
Aww a creature was stirring and it ‘‘twas a mouse 🐁 lol so cute
Yes! That little guy had a nice Christmas. Thanks for watching!
Great little cabin. I’m “assuming” you don’t live in it full time, otherwise, you would have stuffed lots of moss and such in those cracks to keep out the cold and help keep the heat in. It’s so nice to see how simple things can be and, with just what you find in the wilderness to decorated and make it festive. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025!
My thoughts exactly. If I’m seeing daylight thru the siding it’s not very warm.
Sehr nettes und ungewöhnliches Video. Die kreative Dekoration aus Naturmaterialien finde ich sehr schön und die Atmosphäre von bescheidener Weihnactsfreude ist sehr wohltuend! Danke und fröhliche Weihnachten!
