Merry christmas and a wonderful new year to you all. Im so impressed with the letters, no gifts but giving of selves to others i wish i had grown up with this and passed it on to my kids. The tone and atmosphere it sets is exactly what the spirit of christmas.
Oh Justin! Your Aunt was just so precious! She was so excited. I agree she had some moments she remembered too 🥰 that made my day. God Bless her🥰 Blessings from TN❤
Oh, what a treat to see your visit with your aunt and uncle! It's important for all the young ones to visit with their elders, hear their stories, and help them get along as they age. Maybe sharing the harvest with them will bring you joy this year.
We have always been Catholic but two years ago today we started going to the traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass. it’s very different and we love it. I loved hearing that you went that’s the best way to celebrate Christmas ( Christ’s Mass). I hope you go more often maybe for Easter too.
Happy New Year to you all, you are a blessed family but you well deserve it, you work very hard. Glad you went to the traditional Latin Mass it's what all our ancestors over a thousand yrs would've gone to. Love from 🇮🇪❤
Merry Christmas to your whole family and Happy New Year!!! Justin were so funny with the aunt visit😀😀 glad you did that it’s good for young kids to be around older people🙏🏽🎉
Wisdom from those with life experience - priceless! I have had a hard 5 years but through it all my garden has been my sanity. I absolutely agree with your uncle - the garden is the only therapy you need.
Thank you for sharing your family traditions with us. We strive to provide a slower paced more simple Christmas for our kids, but feel influenced by media to over indulge and frankly spend. Seeing how your family values play out of screen really helps us. 🙏
Happy New year! Thanks for taking us along with you. Hope the lambs do well born in cold January. I guess NC won't be too bad! We're waiting until April for kidding.
"No Papa, not a fake chicken, I want to give them a MEAT chicken!" I whelmed up in tears hearing that kind of thoughtfulness, about what other's are eating for Christmas, literally, 'out of the mouth of babes ', as Jesus told. Gideon's heart is pure gold! You and Rebekah, really are Great Teachers, leading by example for your children, and about 1.13 million others, or as TH-cam ironically calls them, Followers! lol Also, Austin and adorable Ashley, are so respectful to you both, eager to learn, easy to love, and so fun to have little ones and new babies in our lives! Thank you for another year of sharing and teaching. Happy New Year 2025 & Wishing 365 Happy Days!
Beautiful Christmas memories made in your family! Thanks for blessing us with your vlog of Christmas. Gideon is so sweet & funny, too! I love your family that is so individual but community minded! Happy New Year blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦🌲
Made me tear up watching you with your elders…I’m 65 and just have my Dad and his 2 sisters. My Dad is in OR, my Aunts on east coast and I’m in CA….its hard to visit. Saw my Dad in October and called him this morning, but weekly phone calls just don’t have the same effect.
Glad you spent time with family while they're still alive. Appreciate the moment of silence for those lost due to hurricane Helene. I made the Danielle Walker's chocolate sprinkle doughnuts this morning sans sprinkles but I added 2 drops essential peppermint oil. Oh my. Yummy. Time to get back to rare treats starting tomorrow. Lol😅
Love your content. Love that the little boys are thinking of the neighbors. Love! Love! Love! - a meat chicken for Christmas. 😊 My husband got Homestead Builds for Christmas. Y’all make me laugh, y’all make me cry, y’all make me proud, y’all make me roll my eyes, y’all make me learn, y’all make me thankful for hard working Americans that aren’t afraid to be real. Happy Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Day! Hugs from Louisiana! Yes, affected by Katrina. Yes, prayers for Helena victims🙏🏼🙏🏼We know. ❤
Happy New Year to your family! I worked in a nursing home for 14 years and it is sad to see people decline right in front of you but you just have to go with the flow and not upset them just like you did with her trying to give you something!❤
I HAVE NO MOM, DAD, SISTERS OR BROTHERS LIVING NOW, NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME. MEMORIES ARE EVEN SAD, WE HAD SUCH GREAT CHRISTMAS ‘S , ENJOY YOUR YOUTH, BECAUSE TIME FLYS, YOU WILL SAY HOW DID TIME GO SO FAST. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU HAD ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL KIDO’S. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
In the last five years I've had to accept my hearing loss on set which happened in January of 2018 in the right year...... it's been a hard adjustment- that hasn't been resolved yet with a hearing aid, - as a result I can only hear about half of what you are saying- although I know it's important to keep the bond with family as they get older
Sounds a lot like me I have a little over 1 acre. I have 30 chickens and ducks and I grow a garden and in the woods behind my property which is about 20 acres of Marshland. I do my hunting on with my neighbors permission. I do sell a few eggs but most of the time they’re just giving away to my friends and family. If I can raise them I think I can help others even though I’m not gaining any monetary gain from it, but helping others is not making money off it it’s there to help others.
Rebecca and Justin, Thank you for this video! Taking the whole family to visit neighbors and relatives was just fantastic. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Loved this video. Gideon and Henry loved giving their turkey and trucks to the little boy across the street. (Sorry I didn’t know his name). May 2025 be kind to us all. ❤️
We don't really do presents either since we provide everything for our children and give them what they need throughout the year and we live in a tiny space too with no room for stuff haha. I felt glad that you are similar. Chocolate is a great gift. It is important to focus on being together. It is so hard when relatives lose their memories. I struggled with that with my great-aunt who was more like a grandmother to me. It was really hard to have her forget me completely before she passed.
You need more than a wall. All you need is a regular high water event to scour the dirt out from behind it. There need to be big rocks behind the wall, too. Any new high water will then push them all together, interlocking them, rather than just washing away all this effort.
Happy New Year! I grew up on a farm. My grandparents and my dad raised a garden every year. Our family also raised tobacco also. I can remember going to the place where my papaw sold the tobacco. Our part of the land with the house was sold last year. My grandparents passed in the late 80’s and 90’s. I have always thought of trying to grow cucumbers or tomatoes on our porch. I live in a townhouse.
Happy Day! Rhodes family! Justin you are a fantastic storyteller and LISTENER!!! It was very key what your uncle was saying. I think an incredible thing you and your boys could do would be to make some boxes and fill them with soil for your aunt and uncle so they could have some raised beds so they could still have some joy growing their own food this coming year? Just an idea. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
I TOTALLY agree with all ya have to do is go to the garden for therapy!!! I have congestive heart failure and man kind it's soooo nice to get out there when I can. I cannot handle the heat when it's really hot though. Hubby has to get the veggies in unless it has rained and cool things off. Lily you are soooo beautiful!!!! You're growing up tooooo fast! lol
My mom every Christmas would have midnight mass, with the Pope❤ on the TV..We aren't catholic but some reason it is so spiritual. After all those years that have passed, I still watch at Midnight every Christmas Eve..❤❤❤❤
GROWING UP I spent many CHRISTMAS Eves at midnte mass with my friends given by one of many Local Priests. I AM NOT CATHOLIC IM JEWISH. Grew up on Suth Side Pgh.
Yes visit her often as possible..all of your aunt's-, Justin.. that effort will always be remembered by you as something you are grateful you did.. I'm sure you already know that, - especially having gone through the departure of Rebecca's mom and your father in recent years
Hi.... Merry Christmas and Happy New year Justin Rhodes and Rebecca and your children and your family to thanks you for showing your video homestead 🎄⛄🏡🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🦃🐑🐄🐖🐷🦮🐈⬛🐎🐝🎥👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
My Nana would always make eggs with sweet treat breakfasts like cinnamon rolls or donuts. She'd also let us get a small piece of cake sometimes. But we had to have eggs too.
God bless you for teaching your children FAMILY…..❤️🙏
Merry christmas and a wonderful new year to you all. Im so impressed with the letters, no gifts but giving of selves to others i wish i had grown up with this and passed it on to my kids. The tone and atmosphere it sets is exactly what the spirit of christmas.

So nice that you went to see your aunts! What a joy you brought them and in turn they filled your cup with joy and wisdom! Blessings!

Happy New Year enjoy GOD Bless you all
It’s cute how our Cackalackie accent comes to the surface when we are around the older generation!!! Love this so much! Merry Christmas 🎄
Your Gideon, a heart of gold, giving Austin's family a chicken for Christmas. 💗
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! How beautiful for your family to visit the sweet Aunts ❤
Thank you for the wonderful seasonal post on your wonderful family. Happy New Year to all
Happy New year! Thanks for taking us along with you. Hope the lambs do well born in cold January. I guess NC won't be too bad! We're waiting until April for kidding.
Merry Christmas! Take them fresh from your garden! That would be a blessing don't you think!

Allah Akbar MEANS LOVE
Praying sounds just like preparing
If at first… TRY TRY TRY!!!
Yes Die hard is my Christmas movie too. I was up till 2am watching I & II. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. God bless from Western Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
Die hard is not a Christmas movie..
Die hard is not a Christmas movie..has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus..only about destruction,guns and death..
Our preacher said the same thing sticky farms but they are not!!!! Merry Christmas Happy New Year
Happy New Year’s
Happy Day Rhodes family....
🕊️🎄✨🎉 🙋🏼♀️🐈🦮
God bless you guys! Have a Happy, Healthy New Year! 💌

Best advice from the old man!! ‘The best thing about being old is remembering how great it was being young’. 😂😭😂
Happy new year Rhodes Family! 🎉 🍾 🥂 🎆

We love the Latin Mass, the film series Mass of the Ages has a lot of history behind it!
happy new years hugssssss
What a blessing it was to watch as you visited with your precious elders. Sweet Aunt Phyllis laugh was pure joy!
That was so sweet of Gideon to give a chicken as a present to Austin and his wife as well as a turkey and cars to the baby.
Jona is a clever boy with lots of potential. Be glad for him he will be the man beyond your dreams.
I’m a jungblut happy new year!!!
Oh poor auntie needs more visits
