I love that the Dad Who Lived has somehow become one of the most powerful beings in the universe purely through paternal love and genuine human connection even with the scary (Zad), spooky (Brad) or intimidating (the gods). He is the true embodiment of the Power of Friendship. Also, for real, I want to know how his kids have reacted with this series blowing up the way it had
At some point, Evangeline is going to bring home one of her friends and she's going to be an Elf or Fae or Tiefling or something. And she is going to be really into Evangeline's dad and nobody is going to be able to deal with it.
The squeals of joy at Woplop's tiny tree got me😁 Also, budgeting with Santa should be listed as a superpower or god tier ability in my opinion. Happy holidays!
I swear this man’s the embodiment of the End of the Year holiday spirit. This time of the year is very hard for me and this man’s aura coupled with palpable and highly contagious joy that comes from the love for his art and dedication to his craft is making noticeable inroads for that joy to be the case this year. Thank you so much and I hope you and yours have the Happiest of Holidays, ❤🎉❤🎉❤. 😊
Happy Holidays! The fact that the trolls are just the sweetest is just perfect. Edit: As someone who's dad wasn't great like the Dad who lived is, that holiday message hit me in the chest in the best way. Thank you so much for all the great moments and making this year that little bit brighter. Have an amazing holiday and see you in the new year!
@@KayRobinsonElliott-nq6br At first I thought YT had blocked me from commenting. Was a wild ride of emotions: fury to dismay to “Did I fall into the wrong dimension again?” to utter joy lol
In Russia, New Year's is a holiday of gift-giving, and I would know that because I am Jewish and we give gifts in my family for both Hanukkah and New Year's, whereas we don't celebrate Christmas because, well, we're Jewish. But anyway, for most people, New Year's isn't for gift-giving which I understand, but also, uhhhhh I think it is, so :3
New Years IS a gift-giving holiday a LOT of countries 🥰 so you’re great!!! Don’t worry about it!!! But even if it wasn’t, it’s important to discover *and be* yourself. Example: I celebrate my birthday for the whole month! Why?? Cuz it’s mine!! 😂 I want to, & it doesn’t hurt anybody! Ba-da-bing!!! 🎉
So many gifts from #1Dad!!! Thank you!!! Points for Yule Car shout out!! Was just going through my Mom’s collection of children’s Xmas books and reading a collection of Christmas letters from J.R.R.Tolken to his children as Father Christmas. All his added doodles and drawings and fun and creativity and adventures reminded me of you and the videos we’re all sharing together. Thanks for bringing the season to many of us who need a little extra of it. -PNW Witch. P.S. Mistletoe is poisonous, get it out of your mouth right now. Yes- you
I think this might be the only "Christmas message to the fans" that has ever truly touched my heart. ❤ You can't fake that kind of sincerity. And we are sincerely thankful to you for all the laughs...and insane amount of investment in characters we've never seen....and remembering the beauty of our "found" families. I hope you have the most amazing christmas @TheDadWhoLived! And keep them coming....none of us are going anywhere 😊
You have no idea how bad I needed this right now. It's been a godawful day in a whole arc of awful, and I opened youtube to turn my brain off of all the negative thoughts and this just completely reset my brain. Even if it's just through a screen, there's so much power in having a positive role model in your life. Thanks for everything you do with your channel, you been a real genuine light in a very dark time. Happy holidays to you and yours! And hey, fun fact: the 12 days of Christmas are supposed to start on Dec 25th, Christmas Day, and carry on for 12 days from there, which is why some people around the world really do give out presents on New Years 😅
Today for me is a working day...but right now I feel as if I have been hugged and made to sit by the fire with hot chocolate and cookies...thank you so much, Dad Who Lived, I'll surely be with you next year!!! Merry christmas (and Happy Hogswatch, since I believe you're reading this, and if not you really should!), give a huge hug to the whole Family Who Lived 💚💚💚
Merry Christmas Dad who lived and all the lived family I haven't been following your story for long but your journey has been a comfort in a pretty turbulent couple of months so from my family to yours Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
my nephew who is 9 for the first time ever watched harry potter for his birthday in november and now hes obsessed. so we widdled him a wand ! i played your channel for him and his child response was, "wow! so we are special ?!!! we all have magic and magic families act like this!!!" i smiled and said yessss, but shhhhhhh you dont want the muggles to find out how powerful we are !!!!!! hes so very happy and watches you all the times now when he comes over !!!! hes got a little book i got him too so he takes notes when he watches you lol he said it feels like wizard school :)
Happy holidays, the Dad That Lived! Seriously my favorite content creator right now. Your compilations got me through making a sweater and other handmade gifts. To the most wholesome magical family out there, have a safe and happy new year.
Merry Christmas to TDWL family! This series has helped me through some hard times this year - thank you so much for all your wholesome and comforting content. Looking forward to the shenanigans in 2025!
Christmas with dad! Christmas with dad! Cows and birds and lords 😂 "It's industrial, and it's not okay." Elfvine, grapevine, elf vine, vineelf. Maybe literally figuratively maybe. If the kids want more gifts, maybe they could celebrate Hanaukkah. Yay, budget help for dad!
You know what? I will see your thanks and match it with a thank you of my own! I truly look forward to each of these new adventures you take us on. I cant wait to see where you take us next (hopefully its safer than the library i almost lost a toe) Happy holidays Dad, heres to many more years of happiness and godly budgeting!
Happy holidays to you and your family Thank you for continuing to bring the magic into my week and always bringing a smile. Also, give Woplop my best he is a delight
Happy Christmas Dad Who Lived. Your skits are one of the few things I've had to look forward to in recent months. I enjoy them so much! Please keep making them going into the new year. No pressure, but my sanity may be at stake here. 😊 Thank you so very much.
The TH-cam algorithm suggested you to me back on episode 6 or so. I have been here ever since. Thank you for using your talents to bring joy into the world and for showing tolerance and love. (Are you in Kansas, by chance? I've noticed a shirt or two. I'm also in Kansas.) And congratulations on your cameo in Man on the Inside! Have a great holiday and a fantastic 2025!
Happy Solsticemas Dad and Fam and Friends and (gasp) 🥹 oh my gosh… That last part… right in the heart. I haven’t felt this sense of holiday magic and wonder in such a very long time I forgot how it feels. Thank you for this. You brought it back! Thank *you* for being an amazing source of joy! 🏆 PS: I’m so excited for the prize gift from you and Woplop to arrive I can hardly contain myself! I feel like I’m a little child again and it’s fantastic!!! ✨💖✨
I JUST SAW YOU ON THE NETFLIX SERIES "A MAN ON THE INSIDE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS SEASON 1, EP. 1, 13:26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOMEHOW PROUD!!!!!
The 5 gold/den rings apparently aren't actually rings and is more of a nickname for a type of bird so chanses are they are hanging out with the rest of the birds in the pear tree
Thank you for brightening my year and I look forward to next year's adventures. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to you, your family, and all of the fellow followers! Much love Always and Forever, Paul
Happy holidays!! I'm so glad that I found this channel. Listening to these stories has helped me get through some rough times and kept me smiling and laughing. I can't wait to see what you come up with for next year!
2:20 hey, y'all forgot Hanukkah! it's EIGHT DAYS of gifts and goods fried in oil! my favourite of the Jewish holidays, and it's happening on Christmas this year, too!! (yes, I'm a Jewish Christian, i celebrate both😸)
Would it fit better for Tim or Evangeline to become a bit Weaby and *really* get into Anime, so suddenly you have an excuse for silly Yokai ("Why is my Umbrella staring at me in such a hateful manner?") and a bunch of Shintoist entities visitting
Happy Holidays! 💖💖💖
See you in the new year!

Happy Holidays Dad who lived, and also to your family and all the wonderful people you've met this past year.
Thank you so much :)
I really love the idea of Santa being Budgeting Genius, not just magical creature
I yelled when I saw the tiny tree and had to take a lap around the room to calm down.
I love how enthusiastic Dad is for WopLop.🥰
He's like those dads with cats but it's WopLop.
The squeals of joy at Woplop's tiny tree got me😁 Also, budgeting with Santa should be listed as a superpower or god tier ability in my opinion. Happy holidays!
Dad has given Woplop a *sock!*

😊☺Thank you so much. These words mean a lot.
I love how excited the dad is for Woplop. But also, YES. That is exactly the appropriate amount of excitement for Woplop.
Happy Holidays! The fact that the trolls are just the sweetest is just perfect.

Dad: "we're not getting a house elf!"
Family: gets house elf anyway
Dad and house elf ^
WOPLOP CHRISTMAS!!!! Stop making such cute Woplop stiff, I'm going to cry!
Merry Christmas!
I thought I had lost my mind when this vanished 😭
Had to reupload.. Budging with Satna bit is new in this one :0
Me too!
@@TheDadWhoLived It’s brilliant, I’m glad you added it

I need to hear more Dad squeals. And seeing how he is truly smitten with Woplop, it shouldn't be too hard to find occasions for it to happen again.

Dad so used to Herbi's fires that he now is asking to light fires to wake everybody up.
Happy holidays to everyone.

The 5 gold/den rings apparently aren't actually rings and is more of a nickname for a type of bird so chanses are they are hanging out with the rest of the birds in the pear tree
The goldrings are actually goldring pheasants, another kind of bird.
I think we might get gods from the other cultures next season
Thank you for brightening my year and I look forward to next year's adventures.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to you, your family, and all of the fellow followers!
Much love Always and Forever, Paul
I will gladly continue to watch anything woplop themed. 😂 But seriously the creativity and care put in is delightful! Happy everything and new year!
Thank you for the joy you've brought to this year! May you and yours have a wonderful holiday season❣
Happy Holidays! What wonderfully fun stories you've told in the past year and I'm excited for whatever stories the new year brings🎉
You are the best. Just, that. Happy Holidays and hopes for strength in the coming year(s).
Thank you for all the joy you brought this year.
Happy holidays! Thank you so much for your creative, adorable and addictive stories!

2:17 don’t tell Dad about Hanukkah 😂
thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:20 hey, y'all forgot Hanukkah! it's EIGHT DAYS of gifts and goods fried in oil! my favourite of the Jewish holidays, and it's happening on Christmas this year, too!! (yes, I'm a Jewish Christian, i celebrate both😸)
... Don't make me cry, silly!! 😭
Wonder if we're going to get other pantheons in 2025 or just get through the Greek one first.
ICELANDIC YULE CAT! YESSSSSS!
And not going anywhere, Dad Who Lived. I need a father figure in my life, and apparently you’re it. 😉
kept this one to watch as my first vid on January 1St 2025
Wait, was that last one a fourth wall break?
Is there a fanart of the troll card? Do people do fanart of Dad Who Lived? They should...
What is the minimum number of cows required to have eight maids-a-milking?
I think it’s two
X-mas and the winter solstice is the same thing.
winter solstice is the longest night of the year. This year it was on the 21st
@ that’s weird as I always thought it was on the 25th
Well if the kids get three gifts they have to give 3 gifts back to both parents , how about that?
✨💖✨
💚🎄💚
You’re adorable! Please adopt me ❤️.
