Oh my goodness, how cute is the idea of the cookbook! What about a kids coloring books? Maybe a Portugal based artist can contribute drawings towards the coloring book
I love how you’re raising your boys to be brave. My father-in-law always told me, please don’t kill the adventure in your son, don’t make him afraid of everything. I took that to heart even when it made my momma’s heart want to scream nooo! He had lots of bumps and scrapes (nothing terrible) but he survived it all. He’s 29 now and tells everyone he had the best childhood and has so many stories to tell everyone. It makes my heart smile to hear him say that. I think I did okay. And I know you guys are doing okay as well.
I agree with your father in law and you totally. I am now 74 yrs old. I do not have many trophies to display to the world of my achievements. But I can say that I fractured my bones of my adventurous life which I don’t regret at all. Through all those daring pursuits I have learnt a lot in life. My wife and I raised our son and daughter giving them lots of freedom like the Newbys. Now they are raising their children giving them the same life. Love and care in raising your children is not restricting their lives by saying no, no. You may have broken bones in the process but you learn how to live your lives to the full.
I'm wondering how many parents are looking back at their parenting and wishing they hadn't kept their kids quite so safe......? Such a careful balance to get right. Love every video....
Merry Christmas’The Newby’s’ from Scotland. I rarely comment but that was lovely. I have the honour of watching my grandchildren opening their presents on Christmas morning but , from choice, spend the rest of my day alone. A tradition I started my first Christmas as a widow but this year, 5 years later, I am really looking forward to my own space in what has been a very busy year. Wishing everyone who is reading my comment a very merry Christmas and happy 2024 when it arrives. Next year, at 67 I’m being BRAVE and off to EXPLORE Europe by train (which is BIG to me) thanks Newby’s 😊
Thank you very much for being part of my life during this year and for all the extraordinary moments your family shared. Your determination and enthusiasm was, without a doubt, inspiring for me. I wish you a merry Christmas and an extraordinary new year my friends. With lots of love and gratitude, Susana🎄
My parents were very poor when they were young. They made Christmas ornaments out of walnut shells. They cracked them in half took out the nut and glued them back together and painted them red. They did not have green ribbon so they used blue. They always put them on the tree together. I found some glass gold walnuts and gave them to them for their 50th Anniversary. They are also put on the tree together. As with every year this year I am happy to say, was the same as all the others in the past, some 59 years later.
That’s the first time I’ve seen Crusoe a bit apprehensive or scared even.....when watching the fireworks? Someone said the wonder but I dunno......anyway they were awesome! Great vid by the way! Merry Xmas to you all from NZ! 🎄🇳🇿🎊
I agree, to me he seemed a tad bit apprehensive….. not scared so much but definitely…. Apprehensive of the loudness perhaps! Way to be brave little one!!!!
What a sweet heartwarming video🤗 and that acknowledgment of loneliness during this period was so very kind and thoughtful❤ have a very Merry Christmas!
Hello Sawyer, Crusoe, Tara and John what a lovely surprise to wake up to your Christmas special this morning. Looking forward to your videos of India. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family. Looking forward to 2024 with the Newbys.
Hi Sandra, we are so happy you enjoyed this episode. We loved putting it together for you. Thanks so much for all the love friend. Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎅❤️✨
Dearest Newbies, I cannot tell you enough just how happy you have made my heart feel tonight with your Christmas episode. I am 78 and alone for the holidays as my husband died from Covid 3 1/2 years ago and my son lives 3,000 miles away. Your video makes me SOOOO happy ( each and everyone of them) I adore your positive fun dealings with each day. Thank You for allowing me (in a special way) to be a part of your family. I look forward to your journey thru India. Merry Christmas to each of your family members. So very grateful for you🎉🎄🎊♥️🤶🏻🎅🏼 Dotti C.
Hello Dotti! Happy, happy Christmas friend, thank you for joining us on our little adventure. We are so grateful to read your message and so happy to know you are enjoying the videos. Wishing you the happiest and very best Christmas ever. We will be spending Christmas Day in Udaipur India, so far the boys are loving every minute. Should publish content from the trip over on the Explore channel next week. :)
Hello Mrs. Dorothy, my mom and I spent the day alone (together) as well. It is my wish that none of us (humanity) feels the sadness of “loneliness” Wishing you peace and joy,
Merry Christmas to the wonderful Newby family. Loved the idea of Mushroom Wellington. Served outside on your picnic table with family and friends must have made for a very special meal indeed. Perfect!
Kimberley is 💯 % correct. As a professional counsellor with child development and effective parenting as my majors, many parents/caregivers project their fear onto children. Keep the brave going! ❤
Merry Christmas Newby’s . Thank you for the past year of entertainment, love watching your family as you build your lives together in Portugal . Wishing you love, health and happiness for the coming year 😘😘
I completely agree with Kimberly's comment and have thought this every time I see Crusoe helping and enjoying nature! I also wish I were taught to explore more and be brave; I know it would have made a big difference in my adult life as well.
You kids have worked your butts off getting ready for travel,having the farm ready for your departure, the cook book and continuous vlogging . Your deserve it all.
Wonderful video! Not surprised the boys didn’t even flinch or cry during the fireworks like most kids, their age lol! You are definitely raising them to be brave!😁
Hi, what an amazing, joyful episode! Thank you for all the entertainment offered during the year. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey with you! May God bless you in the year to come. Lotsa love!❤🎉
I fully agree with Kimberley's comments about the roof episode and the extra parenting you provide for my inner child :) Thank you, Newbys! Merry Christmas!
What a delightful Christmas family celebration you have shared with us! ❤ You have touched on all the important things looking back over the year. I especially loved you recognizing Kimberly and sharing her beautiful comment. You truly do touch people with your honesty and love for one another. Happy Holidays!!🎄😍😍🎄 I cannot wait to see all the videos from India. You certainly do live your motto. So inspiring!!!
Another great Newbys video! Hoping we get to see an India Christmas. You are all fun to watch, each one doing their own thing then doing everything also together, love it!! Also been meaning to say, I've not had a problem hearing your voices for some time now, thank you! Take care and have a very Merry Christmas!!
What a wonderful Christmas video for those of us alone during the holidays. Hope you are making life memories with the boys in India. All the best in 2024.
What a beautiful episode! Thank you John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎉❤ And wishing you safe travels in India! My grandparents are from India and the rest of our family were born in South Africa. Looking forward to your travel channel. ❤
Hi Newbys, this episode was so fun to watch! My family and I decorate the tree with the ornaments we purchased during our trips. Each place we visit we buy an ornament. We love seeing each ornament every year and talk about the fun times we had at each of the places we visited. I loved seeing your ornaments and hearing about where you have purchased them. I wish you a wonderful time in India and I will be watching those videos as well. Love, Francesca
The best part was when you picked up the boys and hung your special penguins. Wishing TheNewbys a joyous Christmas and an amazingly successful 2024! 🎄😍🇨🇦
Hiya Newbys! Aw what a lovely vlog ❤️ loved the beginning John , you in Tara’s clothes lol 😂😂😂😂. It’s a wonderful tradition to decorate the tree together, we always loved it with our boys ( now men ). I’ve kept all the decks they made at school as children too. The mushroom wellington looked delicious . Kimberley’s comment………… 👍👍👍👍👍👍. Merry merry Christmas you darling family , Thankyou again for sharing and making my Sundays ans Wednesdays, cheerful and bright. Can’t wait to follow your trip to India .

May you experience the celebration of the birth of your Lord in very special ways this year. We also sent our son and daughter off when they left home with a box of ornaments for their own tree. Lovely episode. Congratulations Kimberly. I so enjoyed watching this year. Merry Christmas friends. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
The ornament box has always been a part of our family Christmas. My three girls are grown and each took their own box of ornaments with them when they moved out. It’s lovely to share memories from their childhood. Merry Christmas
This was a really beautiful video!!!! I loved watching all of your videos throughout the year, all of them were very special!!! I wish you a merry Christmas and a mega New Year with all your wishes fulfilled!!! I hope seeing the four of you next year!!!! Big hug and have a great time in India!!!! Cheers!!!!

Thank you for such a wonderful video I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and here’s to a fabulous new year for you and my favourite little boys xxx
I agree with Kimberly! I love your bravery, big thinking and exploration, Newbys! Grateful for every one of you! Merry Christmas from North Carolina, USA.
What a beautiful episode...thank you for putting a smile on my face twice a week. You remind me to be thankful for the small blessings we take for granted 😇 May you have a blessed holiday and safe travels...can't wait for the Newbys to Explore again 😊🩵🇿🇦
What a lovely festive episode! It's a privilege to share in the formation of the children's Christmas memories especially Crusoe's excitement about everything. He's coming into that age where he's starting to get it which even my grandchildren have grown out of now. It's lovely to watch, thank you. It's been quite a year, but even more amazing things to come. I look forward to continuing the journey. Have a lovely break and safe travels. The recipe PDF with videos is a great idea! 🎄
Merry Christmas Newbys from Hervey Bay in Queensland Australia. Tara, I love your idea of making sure your boys have special decorations when they leave home as I too started this idea many years ago for my children. Enjoy your special time with your family as it is so fleeting.
Loved Kimberly’s comment. It forces you to think out of the box. I remember that episode and had all to do to hold my tongue. Or maybe I didn’t. I so enjoy watching the boys as they continue to devour life with such wonder and joy. A very Blessed Christmas from your 84 yr young friend in Seattle🎄🎅🙏❤️
That was so wonderful to watch the baby up on the bench we could see an accident about to happen but I was so rpbusy looking at the scenery and table when he stepped down and just got up haha . Tough little boys . I raised 3@and yes you have to let them climb and get muddy and jump in puddles ! ❤
Merry Christmas! Thank you for sharing your life with us this year. Although I haven't commented much, I have enjoyed watching every video. Your boys are delightful, and I love the way you include them in everything. You all are living the best life! Thank you, once again!
The association of Christmas and the Newbys wearing father Christmas' hat was so nice. Every image of the four of you is sweet and gives a sense of happiness. Your particular Christmas decoration bring memories back and will be connected with the new world you,re building around such a wonderful family time. Wishing you all the best Christmas can bring. ❤❤❤
This was such a special episode. Love love love that you shared your Christmas ornaments and the stories behind them. Had a particularly bad day today but all of it melted away as your family’s joy and positivity poured out. Thank you so very much! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night ( thanks to you😉)
Absolutely fantastic and the winner nailed it with her comment. It is so true. I whish you a very very Merry Christmas and some good time in India. Regards from Sweden 🎄⭐️🎅🏻
😂 I had to laugh so hard when John turned around from the eggs! Wonderful! ❤ I was wondering why the back of Tara's head was in the picture for so long... And then the question of where the penguins come from! 😅
First of all John Tara Crusoe and Sawyer A merry Christmas to you all. I have enjoyed watching every vlog you have put you out are such an inspiring Family. For me this year has been the worst Year of my Life , I lost my husband in July...but just to watch you has helped me to think Life goes on So a Big Thankyou, Enjoy your travels 😘😘
Thank you so much Annette. We are so sorry to hear about your loss and please know that we are sending you lots and lots of love and hugs. We appreciate all of your support and we are so proud of you, well done for being brave. We hope you have a wonderful festive season friend🎄🎅🙏🏼❤️✨
Congratulations to the winner of a piece of merchandise. I remember getting the knee thing as I saw Crusoe go on that roof, but I'm really happy that you do let your boys do things that have a potential for danger because I know how cautious and watchfull you are. I remember being reproached for letting my son climb a tree, and it had made me feel like a bad mother, although he never fell.
It has been a delight watching your family and all the things you've done. You have inspired me over the last few months since I've come across your channel. I wish you a very happy Christmas and hope the new year will be full of all that is good and wonderful. Thank you for sharing your life story with us. Have a safe trip. With love, the Kelly family.
Oh so love the decorations for the children. We didn't do it for our own children but have done that for our grandchildren from the year they were born. The eldest has a collection of 26 tree ornaments while the youngest has a collection of 11 with all the other grandchildren having a collection that matches their age. We have always matched the decorations to their interests or events in their lives. I have also embroidered or written (small print), on each decoration in an unobtrusive place the date of the year given. Many of the decorations are home-made but still reflect an episode of their respective lives during the previous year.
🦋🎄🎅🏼 Thank you for sharing this holiday celebration with us. What a nice surprise. Hope you’re all enjoying yourselves in India. Look forward to seeing the videos.
🎉❤ I am a mother who did Christmas ornaments as you spoke! Also we had grandparents purchase an ornament of something special in their life they shared with them- like soccer teams, first job, gift of grades. All the other stuff! My children love sharing with their kids now, their story through ornaments! You will love it!
I wish you all and all the Newbys community a beautiful Merry Christmas full of joy, peace and most of all “Love”. I hope you guys are having a wonderful time in India. See you in your other channel. Love and be safe!🤗😘🎄🇻🇪
I'm so happy that you celebrate Christmas and are showing the boys what fun it is. We will be by ourselves again since we're away from the family for the winter. I still love to decorate our camper trailer. Wish you guys a Merry Christmas and many blessings for the New Year ❤❤❤.
This was wonderful, adorable, festive, and so very Newbys particular! I loved every second of it! Congratulations to Kimberly King. I loved hearing her comments, and agree wholeheartedly. Happy holidays Newbys. Well done!❤
What a special video!! I would like to say to KIMBERLY, well spoken words that I am sure many of us have also felt! Especially, wishing that someone in our lives would have nurtured the brave little person we could have been. I too grew up too afraid to try new things and missed what could have been an amazing life. Now I am grateful to live vicariously through the life lens of other’s experiences. Thank you to the Newby’s and those that share in their videos!! Job well done!!!
Thankyou for all the joy you bring everyone with your videos, its so lovely feeling being part of what you are doing on the farm.My wishes for you are health happiness for Christmas and the coming new year, and sending hugs to your two lovely little boys and your selves Merry Christmas from my family to yours 😘xx
Oh, yes, definitely a treehouse! What a super nice thing for the boys. I am sure that they will love it. Growing up in Africa, I had a tree platform in a large mango tree. That was my happy, dreaming place where I could read my books, observe the animals and simply be at peace with the whole world!
Hello family and Merry Christmas! This video was wonderful and Kimberly’s words are so sweet “spark the inner child curiosity no matter the age.” Congratulations on the book- will head over now to check it out and enjoy your vacation in India!!! Love from Jersey-Mariana ❤
Was so good to see how you were celebrating the holiday. I was watching Crusoe response to the fireworks . The look on his face was priceless. He seemed like he was intrigued but not sure about the noise. Lol Anyway love love the video. Look forward to the next one . Have a great time celebrating. God bless you and your family.
Hi Everyone Merry Christmas, I am 60 years of age and when I was a wee kid my mum made Christmas decorations out of egg boxes, with my little brothers who were twins and myself. I still have those decorations to this day. Lol I also have all the glass vintage ornaments that were on my childhood tree. My mum gave my daughters a new Christmas tree ornament every year of their life and when they moved out they were given them for their family tree. I know have three grandsons which I keep the tradition going. They help me pick ornaments and we sharpy the year and their initials onto them. The boys pick one for their half brother Jack. Jack was a surrogate baby their mum had for a couple that couldn't have a baby of their own. The boys put his ornament on the tree and when Christmas is over his ornament is put into a box and is being kept incase he should ever come looking for his birth mum. Very special Christmas tradition for my family. So I was very happy to hear your doing this for your family too. All the best for 2025. Big Christmas hugs. 🎄 XxKathleen from Greenock Scotland
Very happy to see you having a plant-based dinner 😊🌲. I just made Wellington for hubby’s 50th surprise party and everyone was not plant based but absolutely loved it 🥰. I also make hollandaise from raw cashews, garlic powder, lemon juice, tumeric, & Dijon mustard, pinch salt and 1/2 cup water. Then pour on top your hot food. Merry Christmas to you all…we ❤️ you! PS - I love your sweater!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the Newby’s !! Love the tongue in cheek humor at the beginning and your thoughts on ornament collection for the boys. I have so enjoyed your time this past year on the farm and looking forward to your adventures in the new year! Safe travels!!🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲☃️
Let's all take care of ourselves this festive season drinkag1.com/thenewbys
Thank you
Thank you..
Oh my goodness, how cute is the idea of the cookbook! What about a kids coloring books? Maybe a Portugal based artist can contribute drawings towards the coloring book

Seeing the wonder on Crusoe's face as he watched the fireworks was delightful! He epitomized the magic of Christmas. 🎉
Was so special friend. Thanks so much for watching. Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎅❤️✨
That’s the first time I’ve seen Crusoe a bit apprehensive or scared even.....when watching the fireworks? Someone said the wonder but I dunno......anyway they were awesome! Great vid by the way! Merry Xmas to you all from NZ! 🎄🇳🇿🎊
I agree, to me he seemed a tad bit apprehensive….. not scared so much but definitely…. Apprehensive of the loudness perhaps! Way to be brave little one!!!!

What a beautiful episode...thank you for putting a smile on my face twice a week. You remind me to be thankful for the small blessings we take for granted 😇
May you have a blessed holiday and safe travels...can't wait for the Newbys to Explore again 😊🩵🇿🇦
What a lovely festive episode!
It's a privilege to share in the formation of the children's Christmas memories especially Crusoe's excitement about everything. He's coming into that age where he's starting to get it which even my grandchildren have grown out of now. It's lovely to watch, thank you.
It's been quite a year, but even more amazing things to come. I look forward to continuing the journey.
Have a lovely break and safe travels.
The recipe PDF with videos is a great idea!

Thanks Ruth! Happy Christmas friend. We hope you enjoy the book. Have a wonderful festive season. Hugs from all four of us. ❤️🙏
Merry Christmas Newbys from Hervey Bay in Queensland Australia. Tara, I love your idea of making sure your boys have special decorations when they leave home as I too started this idea many years ago for my children. Enjoy your special time with your family as it is so fleeting.
Loved Kimberly’s comment. It forces you to think out of the box. I remember that episode and had all to do to hold my tongue. Or maybe I didn’t. I so enjoy watching the boys as they continue to devour life with such wonder and joy. A very Blessed Christmas from your 84 yr young friend in Seattle🎄🎅🙏❤️
Hey Merry Christmas 🎉🎉
The kids must of loved the early Christmas before your trip. Happy holidays and I pray your all having a grand vacay.
Well said Kimberely. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to all!!!
What a delightful episode. Merry Christmas to you and your boys wherever you are in the world. Have a wonderful exploration of India.
That was so wonderful to watch the baby up on the bench we could see an accident about to happen but I was so rpbusy looking at the scenery and table when he stepped down and just got up haha . Tough little boys . I raised 3@and yes you have to let them climb and get muddy and jump in puddles ! ❤

Merry Christmas from the USA Newbys family! I really enjoyed this episode. Happy New Year too! Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2024! 🎄♥️
😂 I had to laugh so hard when John turned around from the eggs! Wonderful! ❤ I was wondering why the back of Tara's head was in the picture for so long...
And then the question of where the penguins come from! 😅
First of all John Tara Crusoe and Sawyer A merry Christmas to you all. I have enjoyed watching every vlog you have put you out are such an inspiring Family.

Congratulations to the winner of a piece of merchandise. I remember getting the knee thing as I saw Crusoe go on that roof, but I'm really happy that you do let your boys do things that have a potential for danger because I know how cautious and watchfull you are. I remember being reproached for letting my son climb a tree, and it had made me feel like a bad mother, although he never fell.
❤️❤️❤️
It has been a delight watching your family and all the things you've done. You have inspired me over the last few months since I've come across your channel. I wish you a very happy Christmas and hope the new year will be full of all that is good and wonderful. Thank you for sharing your life story with us. Have a safe trip. With love, the Kelly family.
Happy Christmas to you and your beautiful boys. I have not missed an episode. Just love them 😊
Oh so love the decorations for the children. We didn't do it for our own children but have done that for our grandchildren from the year they were born. The eldest has a collection of 26 tree ornaments while the youngest has a collection of 11 with all the other grandchildren having a collection that matches their age. We have always matched the decorations to their interests or events in their lives. I have also embroidered or written (small print), on each decoration in an unobtrusive place the date of the year given. Many of the decorations are home-made but still reflect an episode of their respective lives during the previous year.
🎄🎅🙏🏼❤️✨
🦋🎄🎅🏼 Thank you for sharing this holiday celebration with us. What a nice surprise. Hope you’re all enjoying yourselves in India. Look forward to seeing the videos.
Merry Christmas to your Lovely family! You give me much inspiration and hope. I look forward to watching you guys always. GB
🎉❤ I am a mother who did Christmas ornaments as you spoke! Also we had grandparents purchase an ornament of something special in their life they shared with them- like soccer teams, first job, gift of grades. All the other stuff! My children love sharing with their kids now, their story through ornaments! You will love it!
That is amazing friend, well done! How special is that 🎄🎅🙏🏼❤️✨
I wish you all and all the Newbys community a beautiful Merry Christmas full of joy, peace and most of all “Love”. I hope you guys are having a wonderful time in India. See you in your other channel. Love and be safe!🤗😘🎄🇻🇪
Merry Christmas to you all. You're such a lovely family. Crusoe and Sawyer are going to grow up independent. X x
Felicidades familia hermosa les mando un fuerte abrazo a todos desde la ciudad de México.😊
I'm so happy that you celebrate Christmas and are showing the boys what fun it is. We will be by ourselves again since we're away from the family for the winter. I still love to decorate our camper trailer. Wish you guys a Merry Christmas and many blessings for the New Year ❤❤❤.
Happy holidays! Enjoy the open road friends! ❤️❤️👍👍
This was wonderful, adorable, festive, and so very Newbys particular! I loved every second of it! Congratulations to Kimberly King. I loved hearing her comments, and agree wholeheartedly. Happy holidays Newbys. Well done!❤
Happy Christmas to the Newby's God richly bless you!
Thanks so much Terre. Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎅❤️✨
What a special video!! I would like to say to KIMBERLY, well spoken words that I am sure many of us have also felt! Especially, wishing that someone in our lives would have nurtured the brave little person we could have been. I too grew up too afraid to try new things and missed what could have been an amazing life. Now I am grateful to live vicariously through the life lens of other’s experiences. Thank you to the Newby’s and those that share in their videos!! Job well done!!!
Thank you Rita! That’s so kind. We hope that our boys grow brave so much and wish that you enjoy taking this adventure with us too. 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Rita! That’s so kind. We hope that our boys grow brave so much and wish that you enjoy taking this adventure with us too. 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Hello Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you two for sharing. I enjoyed every single moment of 2023 videos. Happy Holidays! Boas Festas 🎉
Oh, yes, definitely a treehouse! What a super nice thing for the boys. I am sure that they will love it.
Growing up in Africa, I had a tree platform in a large mango tree. That was my happy, dreaming place where I could read my books, observe the animals and simply be at peace with the whole world!
Hello family and Merry Christmas! This video was wonderful and Kimberly’s words are so sweet “spark the inner child curiosity no matter the age.” Congratulations on the book- will head over now to check it out and enjoy your vacation in India!!! Love from Jersey-Mariana ❤

Was so good to see how you were celebrating the holiday. I was watching Crusoe response to the fireworks . The look on his face was priceless. He seemed like he was intrigued but not sure about the noise. Lol Anyway love love the video. Look forward to the next one . Have a great time celebrating. God bless you and your family.
Merry Christmas guys, loved this little Christmas gathering and the boys are clearly loving it!!! Have a good one and stay well !!! Lots of love 🙏🏻❤🎄
Thanks so much friend. Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎅❤️✨
Hi Everyone Merry Christmas,
I am 60 years of age and when I was a wee kid my mum made Christmas decorations out of egg boxes, with my little brothers who were twins and myself. I still have those decorations to this day. Lol I also have all the glass vintage ornaments that were on my childhood tree. My mum gave my daughters a new Christmas tree ornament every year of their life and when they moved out they were given them for their family tree. I know have three grandsons which I keep the tradition going. They help me pick ornaments and we sharpy the year and their initials onto them. The boys pick one for their half brother Jack. Jack was a surrogate baby their mum had for a couple that couldn't have a baby of their own. The boys put his ornament on the tree and when Christmas is over his ornament is put into a box and is being kept incase he should ever come looking for his birth mum. Very special Christmas tradition for my family. So I was very happy to hear your doing this for your family too.
All the best for 2025. Big Christmas hugs. 🎄 XxKathleen from Greenock Scotland
Merry Christmas 🎉 John, Tara, and boys sending hugs from northern Ireland stay safe and have fun xxxx
Happy Christmas dear Newbys! Cheers to 2024!! God bless us,everyone! from Canada
Um episódio delicioso. Adorei. Feliz Natal e divirtam-se muito na India
Happy Christmas 🎄❤️🩵🩵🩵

Very happy to see you having a plant-based dinner 😊🌲. I just made Wellington for hubby’s 50th surprise party and everyone was not plant based but absolutely loved it 🥰. I also make hollandaise from raw cashews, garlic powder, lemon juice, tumeric, & Dijon mustard, pinch salt and 1/2 cup water. Then pour on top your hot food. Merry Christmas to you all…we ❤️ you! PS - I love your sweater!
🎄🎅🙏🏼❤️✨
Merry Christmas to the Newby family, wherever you are in the world.
🎄🎅🙏🏼❤️✨
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the Newby’s !! Love the tongue in cheek humor at the beginning and your thoughts on ornament collection for the boys. I have so enjoyed your time this past year on the farm and looking forward to your adventures in the new year! Safe travels!!🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲☃️
