Your feral children with their bare feet at the end of November make me smile. You are creating such a beautiful wild and free life for them.
My husband and I were just talking about that ( boys bare feet) the other day. They are raising them right . Get right in there, soil between your toes.🤣🤗
I was always barefoot as a child. It just feels right. Just make sure they have tetanus shots regularly. Especially risky on a farm
@@private15 we did too .didn't worry about tetanus. Stepped on a lot of nails just went to our Ma she put a piece fat on it tied it up. We would go back to playing, only to realize later I lost it somewhere. 😂
I always notice that to and am thinking they are well grounded.
I actually find that appalling. You never see Meg and Ben outside without shoes on. All that trash buried that pokes through and scrapes, stabs and pokes feet. That's like running around in a city dump. Not only that but they HAVE footwear they just don't care about stuff like frostbite and blood poisoning.
I'm still in awe about Meg's pie crust...so perfect.
Will Meg share her recilpe? What is her secret to nothing ever sticking to that rolling pin!
I think Meg is much too busy to share. There are possibly other reasons! (This is really true). She cooked with her Grandmother when she was growing up and possibly she doesn’t want to share her Grandmother’s recipes! I can give you a dozen more reasons!
The juxtaposition between cooking and fabrication tasks was so creative with the edits and score, I am in awe of your cinematic skills.
Yes, great job!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing!
And your music is great for this 68 year old California grandma!!! ❤
100% agree! 🤗
Here here I was just thinking the same thing. Meg should be in the film industry but than we would not enjoy so much her work as we do now.
“ fatty Christmas “ what a delightful name for a sensible solution! We too as a family came to the same conclusion as yourselves we don’t need anymore STUFF!!! Christmas is no longer expensive, no more drawn out shopping outings, worries about getting the right presents for people. Instead we give out homemade hampers of goodies that have been gratefully received and have been individually rapped so folks have still had fun unwrapping and discovering what’s inside. We are gradually going over to homemade Christmas material bags to get rid of using paper and can be used each year. The stress has gone and Christmas is now what it should be enjoy each other and enjoying good food. What could be better!! Thank you for letting us enjoy your family and all youdo. I have followed your journey since you sold up and set off on your journey.
'Fatty Christmas" and enjoying the life you have today instead of buying 'stuff', sounds wonderful ! Happy Thanksgiving to you all, blessings to the whole family from your friends across an ocean.
Don't forget a couple of lovely fish dishes for the beautiful Liliana - we all know that fish is her favourate
Should have a meal of the 7 fishes for buggy! She would be in fish heaven!
We stopped the Christmas spending madness 34 years ago as a family. We all said enough is enough. Since then the Christmas season is relaxing.
The music made the video flow so well
From one of those American friends, "Happy Thanksgiving" to the Hollars. Blessings... in Jesus' name.☝🙏🙌❤🎯
I love how Buggy puts her head on the table when you say Grace. So sweet.
We need more Meg doing her magic in the kitchen.
Yes please!
Sharing turkey is what community is all about. Wonderful Sow the Land...you Rock!!
I think the idea of having the children pick out foods for fatty holidays. Keep making the memories. Such a fun time. Thanks for sharing.
I like your son's shirt "who's your farmer"
🎶We wish you a “fatty” Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year. 🎶 You’re going to make great family memories! ❤it!
They should sing it like that for us😊😉
@@erikas974 , lol, 😂 how true!😉🎄
Great job editing as you wove the story together. 👍🏽
You guys deserve so many more subscribers. You are the best homesteading channel on YT.
That’s very kind, thank you ❤️
Agree 💯
Happy Thanksgiving Ben, Meg and family. That was so sweet of Jason and Lorraine to bring you a turkey.
When you get SO much "Stuff" over the holidays, Nothing seems special.
The VALUED Menu sounds like a great idea! Teach your Sons to cook, which you probably do.
We hope you had a great Thanksgiving day, & That you will have a blessed Christmas season. GOD bless
We started brining also…PIONEER WOMAN’s FAVORITE BRINE RECIPE!
Wow- so good!
I love the way you guys juxtapose her cooking with his machining. You are both so talented in different ways. I also love how you always end your videos praying around the dinner table.
...Meg...in addition to being a genius in the kitchen, has non-pariel music selection and vid editing skills. Between she and Ben, with his grasp of metal working/bending/shaping( reminiscent of my observations of same in a shortline railroad shop in deep Sowega, when about Bret's age ) their children, with Buggy "helpin'" Meg, and Ben teaching the welding "class"... are being exposed to the way the world works...which will only make them, well adjusted, informed, and engaged children, teenagers and young adults, from grounded roots!...IMHO....Happy "Fatty" Holidays Hollars! ...and Thank You for sharing it with "us"!
I gotta say... MEG has to be o e of the BEST COOKS ON THE INTERNET
YOUR FOOD ALWAYS LOOKS AMAZING
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, God Bless your sweet family! PS have you all ever considered skirting your home, it will keep you so much warmer during cold weather.
All's welded that ends welded.
Well said! Love that...! I want to learn to weld, amid a 1000 other things!
Yah hey dare, I am a fab structural welder and was holding my breath watching this thinking ohoh
Meg, I'm not going to lie, I could watch you cook all day. You make it look to easy and smooth ( yes I'm a Chef) the rolls, the pies, bean casserole, ducks yum. Ben, you on the other hand is interesting to watch, but honestly, it's all Greek to me 🤪 What a wonderful, inventive idea for Christmas, fixing meals you either haven't had or haven't had in a long time . Your right when my youngest turned 8 I decided that the kids would get $100. 00 cash or one present worth the $100.00, plus they each got a stocking with an ornament, candy, comb/ brush, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc. May you all be blessed this Thanksgiving day. 🦃😊🇺🇲
My grown son chooses the Thanksgiving menu. It always starts with wings and homemade garlic parmesan sauce. And ends with extra spicy pumpkin pie.
Awesome guys! We transitioned into a casual comfortable December/January as well in 2009. Unanimous decision to make tasty food and work on building large homestead projects in lieu of massive stress and consumerism. Blessings to all.
When heat is your enemy, compressed air is your best friend. Love seeing the work in the shop!
Fatty 🎄 Christmas reminds me of my 1950's New England childhood. Looking back, it was amazing! My mother would make home made chocolate chip cookies, that oozed gorgeous melted chocolate. Warm cookies and cold milk was so good! She made spritz ccokies, while we sponged stencils of Santa and his reindeer onto the windows with Glass Wax stencils. I was recently given a set one Christmas, so they are still available. What fun!
Dad would flood the side yard for a skating rink for us, while we watched him through the frosted window, enjoying our hot cocoa and marshmallows. If I can recall these wonderful moments, so will your children. Keep making family ⛄🎄❄❄🎀 holiday memories! ~ Diane
Great Editing & Music ‼️‼️ Glad to hear you arent doing gifts for Christmas. Everyone should do that. Its too commercial.
Not so long ago pie crust was not your favorite thing Meg ... but I would say you've mastered it!!! Look at that lovely pie crust - it went so smoothly! And a gorgeous chocolate pie! Oh my! Cake too! Your rolls are a work of art ... just lovely! Fatty Christmas is off to a grand beginning! But you always eat so well! Isn't it fun to 'shop' your own grocery store and make meals with the fruits of your hard work! You both work so hard so I'm sure any extra ounces you gain over Christmas will be quickly worn off! Happy Thanksgiving to the Hollar Family! May the Lord continue to bless you and guide you!
Brandy snaps our family special. Singed finger ends wrapping them around the handles of wooden spoons.
That type of welding task is something my late hubby would say "was not a money maker" if a guy was in business. Amazing how often this happens with our projects. Loved watching Meg cook. She makes it look so easy. Happy Thanksgiving to your family.
This vlog was so enjoyable. The back and forth from the shop to the kitchen, and the music made it perfect. Happy Thanksgiving to you all; God's great blessings. I did a crock pot turkey breast that turned out simply wonderful. All the fixings, mashed taters, green beans, yams, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and biscuits. I am stuffed to the max! Plenty left for the next couple days. At almost 70 years old, and still enjoying cooking, I am truly blessed. Love you all! xxoo
Happy Thanksgiving hollar Family! P.s. I love the editing of this video. Combining Meg and Bens worth throughout it. Really helped us see a rounded day for you all! Hope you are all happy safe and full! ♥
Honie bird, you just beat me to the draw about the editing. She edits in such a way that it keeps the viewers attention span and seems to cover the bases between the kitchen and the shop. I'm hoping that her editing is done the same way in the future.
I seen Buggy working. The boys was eating up what Ben was explaining great example for the boys they are going to know everything about the Homestead. That Fatty Christmas seems like it going to be fun and interesting. Thanksgiving is my favorite as well. Happy Thanksgiving ❤️
The only problem with "fatty Christmas" I see is Meg doing all the work. I think it would be better if Meg taught the boys including Ben, how to make their favorite foods. That way they have a skill and their favorite foods.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I will, that’s part of the deal. And they all know how to cook, I just enjoying doing it most of the time. 😊
You two have your heads on straight. Love your "fatty christmas" idea! Memories over purchases
Absolutely love your idea for “fat Christmas” and that everyone gets to have the thing they love most. December will be a whole month of enjoyment and sharing.
I wish you all well - God Bless you all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I love watching Meg cook in the kitchen. After our dinner we talked about when we get together on Christmas. We decided to spend no more than $20 and have kind of like a white elephant Christmas. Like you said, there is nothing we really have to have. It's much more important to just be together. We also decided to have sandwiches, or cheese, lunchmeat and chips and cookies. Just focus on our time together. Christmas is about Jesus, and we want to celebrate that.
Amen
As my son would say Happy Happy Feast Day
Congratulations for pressing through on your jib hoist, simple things can be so complicated ehy
I do enjoy watching your family grow and mature. You are not pretentious, just down to earth. I feel blessed to have the privilege of you sharing bits of your life with us,
Have be a beautiful holiday season.
Love the "Fatty Christmas" plan.
I think one of my favorite videos of your family is Thanksgiving in the camper. It was very emotional and heartfelt. Now look at you. Five beautiful children and a home full of love. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Bravo for ya’all choosing to avoid the consumerism mania and truly celebrate family, loving and living a prayerful respectable life. 🥰
I love to give and receive handmade gifts or seeds. I made keychains one year that everyone liked. Glad you got that hinge going… I love your ladder! Meg, your baking skills are magical.
I love the idea of getting away from material things. Mom with 3 boys, your boys ages....... y’all got me thinkin 💡💡👏
Do it! Teach your boys a useful skill, or a fun one. Something they would like to learn that you can help teach them. Memories are powerful. Blessings.
The barefoot kids, and all the heads bowing down for prayer time at the table SO precious!!!
We do that as a family..........spend our money on a great food day..............and goodies...........well done guys..........well done.
Blessed day with a blessed family we are thankful with you
It's 3:30 a.m. on Friday and i'm eating pumpkin pie while watching Meg make pumpkin pie. Ah, the circle of life... ☺
Maybe Meg should start a cooking channel! Adds to your views! Seriously Ben you are a great teacher-so interesting learning about the hinge you repaired.
Fatty Christmas sounds amazing.
Good for you!
Our family is giving up on the gifts too!
Making memories!!!
God bless you! All of you!
I still remember what a wonderful Thanksgiving you had in the camper. You always make it special where ever you are.
I really like how you go back and forth between the inside work and the outside work
Not sure I've seen another cook on YT like Meg! Mercy, can you ever cook and you so inspire me and yet I fall so short of your delicious meals. Everything always looks so so delicious. Love that the children eat everything and love it as much as you and Ben do. Ben has talent beyond, he doesn't know, nor Meg how much their talents and cooking inspire and show such a hard working couple with talents way beyond the norm. I've been following you since Bksfield and the children grow and Buggy the surprise ...........absolutely such a beautiful naturally kind and amazing family who hold out their talents and share them freely. Thank you for giving us a real deal video each time. Excited to see you get Bubbles in the freezer............you are both so inspiring. God bless! Keep the videos coming, we so enjoy them!
The first time I brined our turkey, told my family “this will either be the worst or the best turkey ever”. It was the BEST! I ALWAYS brine my meat now! Love watching all the meal preps. Enjoy your family videos. Thank you!
I am stuffed with Thanksgiving turkey and listening to you talk aboutFatty Christmas! 😂 it all sounds great but I feel like I gained 10 pounds today. Lol hope you’ve had a wonderful Thanksgiving. ❤️
It looks like you all had a great Thanksgiving! We did as well. This is our favorite holiday as well. Just family, friends, great food and conversation. The commercialization of Christmas has become horrible. We decorate with greens and a few things then instead of “buying gifts” for everyone, we take the money we would spend on that and furnish food for the local food pantry and also donate to some missionary friends of ours to help them spread the Gospel in the European County where they now live. Our Grands and kids love helping sh for the food pantry and look forward to pictures and letters from our missionary friends. So many people hurting this year. Praying all stay healthy and fed well. God bless you and your family. 😃
Happy Thanksgiving to you all in the Hollar! I love your idea of a fatty Christmas! Actually I began to get creative years ago with gift giving and instead of opting for the traditional more stuff that most parents would need another house to store it all! I decided instead to give a recipe with all the ingredients that the parents wouldn’t already have onhand and then I would go to their home and help them make whatever the child might enjoy. It was usually a recipe that I was handing down from the generations and was handwritten from the original creator or recipe card file that they had it on with all the splashes and marks that those dear old cards would accumulate over the years. I love old recipes with simple ingredients and easy to follow directions and I especially enjoy inspiring young children to cook from scratch and that is the gift I’m really giving. Of course I always leave the kitchen as tidy or better then I found it and I teach the child to do the same. To me there is no better gift then actually spending time with a child and engaging with them. When you are baking or cooking with them you are teaching reading skills and comprehension and also they learn math and fractions. I think it helps them become independent thinkers and allows them to begin truly learning how to take care of themselves one day. I think a lot of parents are simply too busy and too caught up in the fast food and or packaged foods to worry about making a lot of traditional type meals and foods but I think it’s a very valuable thing to know especially understanding what is in our foods and knowing we don’t need so much chemical preservatives in our food…sorry not to labor the point. I think you all are very very smart!!! No one will ever forget their fatty Christmas!!😂🥰❤️🇨🇦
Although we don't celebrate thanks giving here I support you in yours 🙂 love watching you guys working in unison a real tight unit even sweet buggy and the boys have a great one love watching you grow Peter Cape town South Africa
Happy Thanksgiving and Fatty Christmas sounds wonderful 🙏🦃🎄
Such a good idea making memories instead of rampant consumerism! Also that everyone and their ideas are included. Happy thanksgiving to you all. 💕💕🌻🌻
Well, that all turned out fine in the end😀 Nice work in the kitchen and the shop.👍 Hope you all have a great thanks giving,🤞 and a good weekend.🍀 Be well all.😉
Love your Christmas idea. Seems like a lot of cooking for Meg so hopefully the clean up could be done for her??
WOW I love the back and forth editing , super cool. You and Meg are amazing creators i love watching your videos. PLUS the music is wonderful.
I like your ideas for Christmas. I stopped giving gifts 15 years ago. These days, I make charity donations in everyone's name; if they have a favourite charity, that's where I give on their behalf. For the kids, I give Oxfam gifts, where you can donate a piglet, or some ducks or chickens, or seeds. For families, you can donate a well, or a small business loan, or lessons, or fishing nets. It's more fun than going shopping in the crowds, you can tailor the gift to the person, and there's no waste or overpowering consumerism. Plus, it's doing GOOD. Enjoy your December feasting!
Meg just keeps cooking away the day, I'm sure when her head hits the pillow she's Out! Happy Thanksgiving to all of You! Such a wonderful family you Have! Nancy from nebraska
Loved the mid day delivery... a special Buggy hug & kiss for Daddy! Love geeking out on your many wood & welding projects and kitchen baking... wish I was your neighbor!!
I made a chicken in the crockpot. It was great! No brining just seasoning. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
My parents were in the Canadian military and for 6 years we lived in Germany. Even as a kid I was happier with going on trips to Italy, Spain or the Canary Islands than getting toys at Christmas. Almost 50 years later I still remember those trips and it is likely the reason I'm a history buff. Oh, and the best pizza ever was at a take-away window on a street in Naples.
Brined Turkey is the best ! Happy Thanksgiving !
I like how Meg edited this, showing what both of you were doing since there was no talking, just work.
Love how Buggy puts her head on the table to pray! She's too cute!
Meg is the absolute hardest working person that I’ve ever seen in my life!! 😮Everything that she accomplishes in a day, that’s hard work!! I cook too, but not as much as I used to, and never ever as much as she does! This Christmas idea will be a TON of added work for her, yet she still smile’s. Amazing!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Wow it has been a year since the 'swing' was built. Time goes so fast for me, so strange..
You both are such a great team
Something oddly satisfying about the way you switched back and forth between the cooking and the outside work on the 8 and then 16 count.
Plays well with my inner musician. :) Happy thanksgiving to you all.
I made your roll recipe for Thanksgiving dinner. They were a hit for a particular spouse who does not approve of artisanal crusty bread. I took some extra dough and made a small cinnamon roll, which was also a hit. Thank you so much! I can recommend rabbit dredged in flour salt and pepper, browned, then braised in cider and caramelized onions. It's a best selling dinner. I see a "fancy drizzled popcorn" movie night.
Happy Thanksgiving! Now Meg you know we are going to do for recipes for Fatty Christmas or at least detailed videos so we can share in the yumminess. Looking forward to it.
👍🏾 # 369 here and just wanna say we are all energy and the sun is our source.
The editing and music when the cooking / welding was going on was *🤌🏽*
Jason and Lorraine are wonderful people like yourselves. 🙂 Good on you kids. I have never liked the buy buy of Christmas. I give my grown children money to help them out and my husband and I buy ourselves something we would like, he his me mine but sometimes we buy nothing as we are blessed and do not need anything. I love putting money in the Salvation Arm Kettles. I do not pass a single one without putting in some bills. I enjoy watching all of you homesteaders.Justin and Rebekah, Jason and Lorraine and yourselves as you make all the food you eat as did I for the past 45 years because of allergies. I am 74 and still do not buy store bought meals but I have to say somedays I so want not to cook. Meg you cranked out a lot of amazing food. Happy Thanksgiving to your beautiful family. God Bless
Since you guys are from the left coast, how about tri-tip! Love the idea of a Christmas treat month!
Great job on a difficult hinge. Looks like a yummy Christmas this year.
I too love Thanksgiving for its pure focus on gratitude. I am very grateful to God for blessing me far beyond anything I could require of Him.
I love this! Holidays can be so stressful with the extra pressure of having to buy gifts and spend money, when at the end of it all it’s the experiences we remember and treasure most!
I enjoyed the editing of this video alternating between Meg' and Ben's work on the homestead. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was last month in 🇨🇦
Your life seems so free of the difficulties of society. You make so many things in the house, barn, shop and garden that many people are not capable of doing. I commend you. It’s been a difficult couple of years since you moved. But the kids will remember all of this as adults!
Great mix vlog today, Meg, making awesomeness in the kitchen, Ben, doing his awesomeness in the shop!
OOH, Meg got the heavy duty working music today!! Go, Meg. Love that song! Happy Thanksgiving, food looks wonderful, as always.
I have four grown sons and lots of grands. We draw names and have a white elephant now that the kids are getting older. It's a hoot and everyone loves all the goofy items.
The perfect music for the composition of your two videos. You are both talented.
Valerie in SC
Oh Meg. You remind me of me! I was in the kitchen from morning until night every day but Sunday. We had 5 boys then a girl. I loved it. I baked every day along with the cooking stuff. Was that a wad of chew I saw in Ben’s lip?? 😜
I think what you are doing for Christmas is great!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I would love to see a video on the stuffed pork loins.
I really enjoy the balance of showing Ben do his thing and panning to see Meg doing her thing. What a team!! And the kids are all adorable. Christmas is WAY too commercialized and I prefer keeping it simple also. Happy Thanksgiving to the Hollar's!
Having grown up on , as well as making many made from scratch recipes. You are eating WELL. My eyes are stuffed, watching Meg cook, easy to imagine all the good Smells, coming from the kitchen. What skills you are teaching your kids along the way, i hope they fully absorb, and learn throughout there lives and adapt and even enhance as they get older. You can learn of course through books and videos, but Hands On Experience will rule the day. I enjoy watching your videos, your very good parents. Great welding repair job and solution Ben , i have also noticed that even when life can throw a wrench into it, you rebound quickly. In all your videos there is also a certain amount of calmness and contentment that comes through. On all your projects. Happy Thanksgiving !!
A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family. Coming from Canada we celebrated our Thanksgiving in October.
That yellow light
Meg, my mother's scratch cooking for her nine kids is exactly what you are doing in front of the camera for us! I never realized how physically hard that was. Your baking is perfect and I wish you had double ovens or a spare kitchen. We did all the canning in our basement on a gas stove. It was cooler too during the hotter Michigan summer days. My memory has changed to thanksgiving for the work ethic taught then from my crabby complaints of too much child labor. Blessings always to your family. 💕
Happy Thanksgiving day, as it is almost over! Relax and enjoy yourselves a bit tomorrow, or today! We love you Hollar family!
Happy Thanksgiving Hollar Family and friends.
