Watching Matt clean his gun reminded me of seeing my Dad doing that years and years ago when I was a child. I am in my middle 70's, and I think back to Dad telling me of a Christmas back in 1923 when he was 5 years old. They lived in the appalachian area of eastern ky. They were very poor as everyone else was in that area. That Christmas he got a pair of boots and he was so happy, that he sleepted with them on that night. I get tears in my eyes when I think about that. We have so much today and back then, a century ago alot of people did not. Merry Christmas Tipper, Matt, Katie and Corrie and Austin, and Granny.
It's just awesome how everyone shares with each task. Matt might be cooking while Tipper is filming. Katie might be creating wonderful gifts to tuck into a stocking while Corrie films. Granny might be crocheting while Paul films. It's a whole wonderful look into your life when you just make it work for everyone! I love it and all y'all!
Of all the podcasts and videos that I listen to and watch, yours is hands-down the very best! I wish my parents and grandparents were still around to watch it because they also would love it..🤗🌲🙏🏼
Yes my Mom & her family from NC. Some up there by you & some towards the tri county area. Miss them all so much as most of them have passed. We spent a lot of time there throughout my life & my children & grandchildren as well.
There is nothing more beautiful in the world than the Appalachia Mountains! I am so blessed to be raised in them! God outdid himself when HE made them! I hope all of you have a wonderful CHRISTmas! Praying for Granny! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're spot on!!I was born & raised in the Appalachians too. I had to leave them for a job halfway across the country after college graduation. The first Christmas I returned home to see family, tears slid down my cheeks as I looked at them as the airplane flew over these glorious mountains in preparation to land. That was the first time I realized how much a part of me the Appalachian mountains truly are!! God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours too. 🎄☃️🧑🎄
I've always saved my cards and used them to make gift tags for gifts the following year! They really dress up a present. I use both the inside greeting, cutting off with pinking shears the signed portion. You write "To:" and "From:" and tape it flat to the gift. The front of the card makes the prettiest tags. I write the "To" & 'From" on the back side. Then I use a hole punch to tie it with ribbon, twine or whatever. Everyone always comments on the beautiful tags. So much better than buying new ones and then throwing them right in the landfil. (In my opinion. lol) 🎁🎄🌲🎅
Tipper this reminds me of the first time your channel came up on my TH-cam. A pretty lady was fixing breakfast. Coffee, biscuits. Eggs, sausage and gravy. All video, no comments. I’ve been watching since. Love this video today. Love seeing Matt cook too! Ending with Away in the Manger. This is wonderful! ❤❤💕💕
My goodness Tipper, you are so sweet...The little Christmas tree was so adoreable decorated with your precious ornaments...You have quite the Christmas card collection this year...they look beautiful around the window...The Christmas dishes are so nice to have, that way you can remember Miss Cindy and all the love she brought to your home...She was a special lady...God Bless you all🙏🙏🙏🦌🎄☃️
I have inherited 6 sets of China 🙄 I use it at Thanksgiving and was tired of me washing them twice every year😊 So I started wrapping all plates in Saran Wrap from dollar store. Put dinner plates all together salad, dessert plates, etc. Wrap them in and never had to wash them until after the meal 😊 Works great, and you don't have any dust .
What a blessing to have these two twin song birds to hear at this holiday time. These two little baby boys will have some cherished memories to grow up with!
Tipper, Our lives cross paths in so many ways! It's basically the same! Mountain life is Simple but has it's tough times also. I love the way you decorated the little tree. It's so pretty! Matt made me hungry when I saw him making cornbread and cutting up taters n onions. I knew that y'all were gonna have a pot of beans, cornbread, fried taters n onions, and probably some deer or side meat of sort. That's a perfectly good Supper to me. Can't beat it with anything! He's quite the Chef ain't he? Lol. I love to see a man cook meals for his family. My husband cooked alot of meals when I was working laying block n brick! He was working but not nearly as hard as I did and he got home before I did. If it was gonna rain, we'd work late to get the job finished or get as much done as possible! The Biscuits n Gravy are always a meal you can have anytime! Whoop up a pan of biscuits n gravy with some meat on the side and fast simple but delicious meal. I've busted up alot of firewood in my life and hauled it to the house. It'll wear you out but keeps you warm. I adored hearing the girls sing at the end. They have beautiful voices and play very good. That was a real treat! Thank you all for such a great video. From the Beginning to the End! Merry Christmas. God Bless. 🙏❤🎄🎁🍭🎄🎁🍭
I don't know who was running the drone for the B roll, but that is some amazing footage. I don't get very excited about Christmas for several reasons but watching all of you go about your December brings joy to my heart. Merry Christmas!
Love the drone shots. Absolutely gorgeous. I live on the upper Cumberland plateau in Tennessee. We have foothills and mountains as well. So, I can relate to the feeling of getting hugged by the countryside. Excellent collage of topics within the video. Love it. Prayers for Granny! Thanks so much Tipper for sharing!
So many people just live for the next exciting thing to happen in their lives. They don’t realize that life is made up of mostly common, mundane tasks of everyday. Being able to slow down and enjoy the little things like cooking a meal is truly a blessing. I never thought to use my biscuit cutter to chop garlic! That is a trick I shall remember, thank you. Also I enjoyed some of those crisp pickles on my burger tonight, yum. I’ll be making more of those come next summer. Have a wonderful evening my friend. Say hello to your sweet family. TeresaSue.
Great video! The drone footage was beautiful. Matt sure whooped up a good looking supper! It brought back such bittersweet memories for me seeing Matt cleaning his gun..I can't tell you as a child how many times I would sit and watch my dad meticulously clean his..and after I married my husband, he was an avid deer hunter, and I would watch him sit for hours and clean all his guns. You always bring to mind such sweet memories to me. Thank you for your videos, I treasure them! ❤
Am crying with happy tears to see you two sisters about to bring new life into this world singing this beautiful old song. What a blessing to this world your children will be. Merry Christmas to you all.
TIPPER, WISHING YOU, MATT, GRANNY, AND THE GIRLS A MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁, THANK YOU FOR SHARING PARTS OF Y'ALL'S LIFE WITH US... GOD BLESS TO YOU ALL🙏🙏🙏
Even though I don’t really know y’all, I feel like I do and feel love and appreciation for you. Your videos are wonderful and instill pride for all us Southern Appalachian people. You’re all such a loving Christian family. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Merry Christmas to all of you. ❤️🙏🏻Kristina in Asheville
My grandmother use to hang her Christmas cards like this and my mother did too years ago... Of course they are all gone now and I miss them deeply... Your videos remind me of those precious days with my mom dad and family members... We all lived in the Country... Ky then.. Thanks for sharing these videos with us and always reminding me of my love ones...and those precious days gone by... 🌲🌲🌲⛄☃🎄
Lovely video! You have a special talent Tipper of capturing moments, spoken words, images and nature shots that bring joy and calmness - thank you. Sending good wishes to Granny, to the future mommies and your entire family! Merry Christmas!🎄
You just had a little bit of everything in this video....and when the girls started singing it just squeezed my heart so much that liquid had to leak out of my eyes....thank you guys so very, very much for just being you, and for sharing so much with me....I so hope you are blessed with the holiest of Christmas days....I really love you guys!
Lots of wonderful scenes in this video! Tipper, I learned a neat craft years ago from a relative, on how you can recycle your Christmas cards into gift tags that you can use on future presents...Take all of the cards with pretty scenes on them, especially, and using a pair of pinking shears, you cut out the picture..Then, using plain white paper or card stock, fold it in half and put the picture on top, then use the same shears to cut around it...Paste or glue the pic to the card and inside you have a blank card to write To and From...They look so pretty with the edges cut and are so cute... I have made many in the past and love them!
Merry Christmas!!! Your window looks like a beautiful little Christmas village. I think Christmas cards are one of the really special things about the season.
Wow, every video I say to myself, how y'all going to top that one? Then you do! Merry Christmas, God bless, and I hope Granny is having a good week, hopefully getting some strength back little by little. Love y'all ❤️
We have a casual set of Christmas dishes we use December 1 to December 31:for every meal - then for special dinners we use the Lenox fine china. A big part of our traditions. 🎉
Tipper you are right. We have so much to be thankful for!!! I love how Matt and you went out in the woods and got branches then made a sweet little tree. Also how y’all decorated with your beautiful cards around the window. So pretty 🎁🎄🎁
I grew up around Grundy Virginia in the 1950's and 60's and something I always remember was it almost always snowed around Christmas . I will pray all you are blessed with a little snow this Christmas . Stay warm and safe .
My mother always sets her dining room table with her Christmas dishes. Meals are ate on them all month.. washing and replacing after each meal. It looks beautiful and is ready to go each time. No need to pack away the regular dishes. Maybe you could try that too? It would be easier and you could enjoy your beautiful dishes every year. ❤
Seeing Matt load up the firewood reminds me of how my husband and I did that job. We split our logs in the side yard then transported the split wood to the front porch, where we stacked it, by stacking it in the bucket of our loader on the tractor then raising it just over the porch railing so I could grab it and stack it. I miss those days so much!!
I had a pretty good supper (chili and I recommend using beer in it, lager is what I use) but Matt's cooking still managed to make me feel hungry, felt like I could smell it cooking and it smelled great ! LOL You got so many Christmas cards, Tipper. Not the case here, people have kind of fallen off sending them (at least our people have, I guess). Everything there looks so beautiful. THANK YOU, as always !!! 🎄 💞 🙌🏼 P.S. The girls' "Away in a Manger" was such a treat. That harmony, so beautiful, and I reckon they've sung that one a few times by the sound of it. Really beautiful and I like thinking those little babies are hearing that and feeling their mothers singing and playing. That's got to be good for them, their development. Love it.
For the past 15 months I’ve been basically bedridden and watching your videos has made this difficult time easier. Thanking for sharing your lives with us. It made me feel better to see you all doing things that I would be doing if I hadn’t had my back issue. God bless you all!
Years ago Martha Stewart had a beautiful tree on her show! It was made out of white goose feathers i believe it was. And the ornaments were glass, antique, and eclectic even maybe. The ornaments were a beautiful light turquoise, and light eggshell blue. So pretty! I love Christmas cards! The beautiful scenes, and the verses,or sayings,poems in them.
God bless and keep you this holiday season. I remember how very hard the first few years were after I lost my husband. It never goes away, but eventually the sadness is replaced with warm loving memories and a feeling of gratitude for the time you spent together. Hugs and love to you.
I just wanted to tell you that every time you use that bowl to make whatever you make in itit reminds me of my Mama!!! She had the same bowl!!! I saw it my whole life!!! Thank you so very much!!! Merry Christmas!!! God Bless Us All!!!
👏👏👏 That was a fine Christmas present. Could watch Matt clean his gun all day, and listen to the ladies sing and Matt cooking. No words, just the sounds of sausage frying, gravy thickening and you Tipper showing us your pretties. Merry Christmas everyone and Granny hope it’s a good one for you.❤
So dear the way you and Matt pinch up the biscuits before topping with gravy (instead of halving the biscuits and cutting off bites as you eat). Such a small thing, but somehow says how much you relish your food. And such food!
I am thankful to you for showing those, who have not had the privilege of knowing Appalachia, the beautiful blessings that it holds! ❤🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I can just smell that fire up in the mountains; perhaps you guys need to add another room to that cozy little home with some grands coming! So happy for you all.
Such a precious video, filled with bits and pieces of a loving life. Been waiting for Katie and Corie to perform "Away in a Manger". I was not disappointed, it was beautiful!
Thank you so much for pushing out so many videos as of late. You brighten my days. Prayers for your mom, you and your family. Merry Christmas Seasons Greetings and a blessed New Year.
Watching you prepare breakfast was just liking watching my mother fix breakfast! Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. I had had the great privilege of being raised in the mountains of WNC too, and had many of the same meals you prepare by two great women, my mother and her mother. Thank you tipper for taking me back to some great memories, even if did cause me to shed a few tears.❤
I couldn’t help but think in a few years, the boys are gonna be following Matt around everywhere he goes, and he will be teaching them how to clean a gun, and the importance of gun safety, and also how to cook in the kitchen. Awesome memories are going to be made. Such pretty Christmas cards. Some people save the Christmas cards, and if the inside left is blank, they cut the card in half and use it as a gift tag to attach to a present.
Wow! I've watched most all of your videos and enjoyed every single one, but I think this may be the best ever. Looks of cooking and good food, seeing all the beautiful decorations, the stunning footage of your gorgeous property and the girls singing. This video is a piece of art! Thank you for continuing to share your life and family with us, many blessings to you all!
Tree looks so cute and the cards just finished it all off really nice. Yummy Breakfast! Something so American about cleaning your guns. I always liked doing it . Matt has skills in cooking--looked great! I am so terrible about sending out cards. I really wish I was better. Thanks for sharing the day with us! Love the girls singing one of my favorites! I think i listened 3 times!
Tipper... Is it you or Corie making the beautiful drone images? I love that little hemlock tree and all the cards. The dishes from Miss Cindy are so beautiful, and a wonderful way to remember her this season when yall are missing her so much. It has inspired me and now Im hunting down a pretty set to give my daughter-in-law for Christmas. I hope Im not too late! As usual, a wonderful visit with my favorite TH-cam family.
This was so beautiful I would love to live up close to wonderful people like you tipper Matt and granny Paul and corie and Austin and Katie your little tree looked so pretty the cards looks nice too God bless all of you and Merry Christmas too all of you ❤️ Shelby
Always look for your videos. Im healing from major surgery and this is just what the Dr ordered. All American, wholesome family sharing your lives. Thank you kindly. They mean a lot to me. Love your family❤️
Thank you for sharing all your love and beauty through out 2023 it was very enjoyable and wishing everybody there a very blessed and merry Christmas and a happy prosperous new year take care and god bless each and everyone of you looking forward to 2024 thank you all again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is impossible find fault in Appalachia. In every grain of sand, kernel of life, it is pure nectar, soul therapy, no matter how far away. Thank you for illuminating such grace and beauty.
Thank you for sharing another day of your everyday life in Appalachia Tipper and Matt. Praying Granny will feel up to joining y'all for Christmas. Praying she can cook her Green beans and enjoy all the special goodies you and your families are preparing for the Christmas Feast. Merry 🎀 Christmas 🎄 to you all! Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕
We have been so excited since hearing that you all may come to Ringgold Ga. I have a daughter who watches your channel too and when I told her that y'all may be coming close to us, she was so excited and then she said "I think I would cry if I got to meet them." We love y'all and hope that you do get to come close to us, but if not, we will just keep watching your videos. Hoping y'all have a Merry Christmas! We are from the little county in Northwest Georgia where Folk Artist Howard Finster is from and y'all may have heard of him. He is the only thing our little county is known for. lol
The woods seem so still and quiet when it’s cold there and the smoke from the wood stove let’s us know it’s warm and cozy inside. The food looks so yummy, the beautiful Christmas plates and Matt cleaning his gun and cooking all just screams Christmas. I love it. Merry Christmas from the south east coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞😎
The plates and all the decorations are beautiful! 🎄. It looks like Matt is becoming quite the cooker ☺️ Enjoyed the visit and special music.. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄❤️
Many years ago I loved to set out and use my Christmas dishes. Now, seven grandchildren later, we’ve outgrown the dishes. Love all your beautiful cards. Your home looks so beautiful, peaceful and welcoming for Christmas with your family. Merry Christmas and God bless y’all! 😀❤️
This video reminds me of our home. There are constant tasks that we perform on a daily basis. Cooking, ferding the animals and replinishing the wood. I am with Tipper on waiting for a good snowfall,but unfortunately it's just goin to rain on Christmas day. We are in the Tennessee Valley and its going to be too warm. Ilove watching you all. I hope you have a safe and blessed Christmas.❤
I’m so thankful that in is this rapidly decaying world that’s so full of hate and evil I can come here to your channel and also the girl’s and find love, beauty, appreciation of the things that are truly meaningful such as family, and love of God. Have very blessed Christmas!
I absolutely LOVE the drone footage of the house & mountains in the beginning. It would be awesome to add some Appalachian music to that. Your breakfast & dinner look so, so good. My husband cleans his guns just like Matt. My mom used to hang our Christmas cards just like y’all did, but she would put them all around a door frame in the house. Lol, back in the day, she used to cover the front door with that shiny red wrapping paper. Did they do that in Appalachia too? Love this video. Very nicely produced and edited.

It's just awesome how everyone shares with each task. Matt might be cooking while Tipper is filming. Katie might be creating wonderful gifts to tuck into a stocking while Corrie films. Granny might be crocheting while Paul films. It's a whole wonderful look into your life when you just make it work for everyone! I love it and all y'all!

@@CelebratingAppalachia I love the way your front window turned out. The Christmas cards were a final touch.
Watching Matt do stuff is like watching my Dad. Hard-working, quiet, steady, methodical fellas. ❤
Of all the podcasts and videos that I listen to and watch, yours is hands-down the very best! I wish my parents and grandparents were still around to watch it because they also would love it..🤗🌲🙏🏼
Wow, thank you!
Yes my Mom & her family from NC. Some up there by you & some towards the tri county area. Miss them all so much as most of them have passed. We spent a lot of time there throughout my life & my children & grandchildren as well.
The girls harmony was very nice
😅 It touches my heart how much Miss Cindy loved Tipper, her daughter-in-Love 😢 I know she is missed.
I have all but stopped watching tv I go to my room at night get in bed and tune in to the tipper and Matt show, you all are great😊
Wow thank you 😊
There is nothing more beautiful in the world than the Appalachia Mountains! I am so blessed to be raised in them! God outdid himself when HE made them! I hope all of you have a wonderful CHRISTmas! Praying for Granny! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
didn’t He though?! i love these mountains ❤️
You're spot on!!I was born & raised in the Appalachians too. I had to leave them for a job halfway across the country after college graduation.

THANK YOU, as always !!! 🎄 💞 🙌🏼 P.S. The girls' "Away in a Manger" was such a treat. That harmony, so beautiful, and I reckon they've sung that one a few times by the sound of it. Really beautiful and I like thinking those little babies are hearing that and feeling their mothers singing and playing. That's got to be good for them, their development. Love it.
Thank you 😊
Nice singing.
For the past 15 months I’ve been basically bedridden and watching your videos has made this difficult time easier. Thanking for sharing your lives with us. It made me feel better to see you all doing things that I would be doing if I hadn’t had my back issue. God bless you all!
I'm so sorry you've had to go through all that. I pray your back issues improve!! Thank you for watching us-we are so glad you enjoy what we do!
Years ago Martha Stewart had a beautiful tree on her show! It was made out of white goose feathers i believe it was. And the ornaments were glass, antique, and eclectic even maybe. The ornaments were a beautiful light turquoise, and light eggshell blue. So pretty!
I love Christmas cards! The beautiful scenes, and the verses,or sayings,poems in them.
Remembering my sweetheart. He went home to be with Jesus in August. He always enjoyed putting up our Christmas cards. This reminds me of us. ❤
God bless and keep you this holiday season. I remember how very hard the first few years were after I lost my husband. It never goes away, but eventually the sadness is replaced with warm loving memories and a feeling of gratitude for the time you spent together. Hugs and love to you.
I’m so sorry you lost him.
I just wanted to tell you that every time you use that bowl to make whatever you make in itit reminds me of my Mama!!! She had the same bowl!!! I saw it my whole life!!! Thank you so very much!!! Merry Christmas!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family , God bless Granny with healing and health in Jesus name
Thank you Norman!!
Seems like a very peaceful place to live.
👏👏👏 That was a fine Christmas present. Could watch Matt clean his gun all day, and listen to the ladies sing and Matt cooking. No words, just the sounds of sausage frying, gravy thickening and you Tipper showing us your pretties. Merry Christmas everyone and Granny hope it’s a good one for you.❤
So dear the way you and Matt pinch up the biscuits before topping with gravy (instead of halving the biscuits and cutting off bites as you eat). Such a small thing, but somehow says how much you relish your food. And such food!
I am thankful to you for showing those, who have not had the privilege of knowing Appalachia, the beautiful blessings that it holds! ❤🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I can just smell that fire up in the mountains; perhaps you guys need to add another room to that cozy little home with some grands coming! So happy for you all.
Wishing the Merriest Christmas to you all.
Such a precious video, filled with bits and pieces of a loving life. Been waiting for Katie and Corie to perform "Away in a Manger". I was not disappointed, it was beautiful!
I just love you all! your videos give me all the feels!
Thank you so much for pushing out so many videos as of late. You brighten my days. Prayers for your mom, you and your family. Merry Christmas Seasons Greetings and a blessed New Year.
Thank you so much!
Watching you prepare breakfast was just liking watching my mother fix breakfast! Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. I had had the great privilege of being raised in the mountains of WNC too, and had many of the same meals you prepare by two great women, my mother and her mother. Thank you tipper for taking me back to some great memories, even if did cause me to shed a few tears.❤
Merry Christmas to y'all! Thanks for all of the moments you share with us ✝️🎄 God bless you
I so enjoy just the quiet, with the natural sounds with no talking.
I really enjoy these videos. So peaceful, people going through there daily lives. Merry Christmas!
I couldn’t help but think in a few years, the boys are gonna be following Matt around everywhere he goes, and he will be teaching them how to clean a gun, and the importance of gun safety, and also how to cook in the kitchen. Awesome memories are going to be made.
Such pretty Christmas cards. Some people save the Christmas cards, and if the inside left is blank, they cut the card in half and use it as a gift tag to attach to a present.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. We loved hearing the girls singing!
Wow! I've watched most all of your videos and enjoyed every single one, but I think this may be the best ever. Looks of cooking and good food, seeing all the beautiful decorations, the stunning footage of your gorgeous property and the girls singing. This video is a piece of art! Thank you for continuing to share your life and family with us, many blessings to you all!
Thank you!
Merry Christmas to you all. I pray your sweet mama is doing ok please wish her a Merry Christmas for me 🎄🌲
Wow look at you getting all fancy using a drone. 😉 Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania
38:14 Katie and Cori, that was beautiful!❤
Tree looks so cute and the cards just finished it all off really nice. Yummy Breakfast! Something so American about cleaning your guns. I always liked doing it . Matt has skills in cooking--looked great! I am so terrible about sending out cards. I really wish I was better. Thanks for sharing the day with us! Love the girls singing one of my favorites! I think i listened 3 times!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love that little tree! So sweet and happy looking. Just the right note.
Merry Christmas to you all! God bless you in every way possible ❤️
Tipper... Is it you or Corie making the beautiful drone images? I love that little hemlock tree and all the cards. The dishes from Miss Cindy are so beautiful, and a wonderful way to remember her this season when yall are missing her so much. It has inspired me and now Im hunting down a pretty set to give my daughter-in-law for Christmas. I hope Im not too late! As usual, a wonderful visit with my favorite TH-cam family.
Thank you so much! It is Matt 😀

It is impossible find fault in Appalachia. In every grain of sand, kernel of life, it is pure nectar, soul therapy, no matter how far away. Thank you for illuminating such grace and beauty.
You are too kind 😊 Thank you!
@@CelebratingAppalachia I adore your apron by the way. Is it linen? 🌟
@@lesliethurston2151 Thank you! It's not although the fabric does have a linen look 😊
Thank you for sharing another day of your everyday life in Appalachia Tipper and Matt. Praying Granny will feel up to joining y'all for Christmas. Praying she can cook her Green beans and enjoy all the special goodies you and your families are preparing for the Christmas Feast. Merry 🎀 Christmas 🎄 to you all! Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕
I would have loved a family like this! God bless you all and happy Christmas. 🎄🙏
Bless you and thank you!!
We have been so excited since hearing that you all may come to Ringgold Ga. I have a daughter who watches your channel too and when I told her that y'all may be coming close to us, she was so excited and then she said "I think I would cry if I got to meet them." We love y'all and hope that you do get to come close to us, but if not, we will just keep watching your videos. Hoping y'all have a Merry Christmas! We are from the little county in Northwest Georgia where Folk Artist Howard Finster is from and y'all may have heard of him. He is the only thing our little county is known for. lol
Would love to meet you all 😀
The woods seem so still and quiet when it’s cold there and the smoke from the wood stove let’s us know it’s warm and cozy inside. The food looks so yummy, the beautiful Christmas plates and Matt cleaning his gun and cooking all just screams Christmas. I love it. Merry Christmas from the south east coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞😎
What part do you live in
Thank you Katie & Corie for singing Away In A Manger ❤❤
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
We will watch this later when we go to bed We love to watch the family videos
God bless you all
What a lovely visit with you all today, made me long for my family of my childhood. Hope you all have a Blessed Christmas an a Fantastic New year.
Love the little tree. And how the family loves the way the lord and knows the reason for the season.
Beautiful decorations! Really love that you and Matt share all your
decor!! Merry Christmas to you all! God bless and much love!! 💕🤗🙏🏻 10:51
The plates and all the decorations are beautiful! 🎄. It looks like Matt is becoming quite the cooker ☺️
Enjoyed the visit and special music..
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Many years ago I loved to set out and use my Christmas dishes. Now, seven grandchildren later, we’ve outgrown the dishes. Love all your beautiful cards. Your home looks so beautiful, peaceful and welcoming for Christmas with your family. Merry Christmas and God bless y’all! 😀❤️
This video reminds me of our home. There are constant tasks that we perform on a daily basis. Cooking, ferding the animals and replinishing the wood. I am with Tipper on waiting for a good snowfall,but unfortunately it's just goin to rain on Christmas day. We are in the Tennessee Valley and its going to be too warm. Ilove watching you all. I hope you have a safe and blessed Christmas.❤
Your decorations celebrate the Appalachia that I know and love!❤❤❤
Thank you!
Wow! Gorgeous video. Thank you for sharing your traditions and talents with the world.
I’m so thankful that in is this rapidly decaying world that’s so full of hate and evil I can come here to your channel and also the girl’s and find love, beauty, appreciation of the things that are truly meaningful such as family, and love of God.
Have very blessed Christmas!
Thank you so much 😊
Merry Christmas from my home to yours ! Praying for granny God’s blessings to you all 😊
I absolutely LOVE the drone footage of the house & mountains in the beginning. It would be awesome to add some Appalachian music to that. Your breakfast & dinner look so, so good. My husband cleans his guns just like Matt. My mom used to hang our Christmas cards just like y’all did, but she would put them all around a door frame in the house. Lol, back in the day, she used to cover the front door with that shiny red wrapping paper. Did they do that in Appalachia too? Love this video. Very nicely produced and edited.
Thank you! I haven’t seen that paper but that sounds pretty 😊
