It was nice to hear the one child saying happy birthday since that is what Christmas really is. Great video and the commentary about peoples comments-some being trolls and some just being genuine criticism because they want to see you succeed still. Way to keep an open mind. Praying for your continued success. God Bless
I love seeing the kids jumping and laughing and concentrating on their little tasks. You two obviously generate a lot of happiness. I rarely watch one of your videos without a gormless smile on my face too. Merry Christmas and best wishes to you both.
You are doing a great job for the kids and the village❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family and everyone in the village❤ can't wait to see all the Childrens happy faces at the Christmas party❤
Yes there are a lot of Thailand bloggers but those who enjoy and appreciate your content are not watching them. I for one would be sad to see you go but appreciate the amount of work that goes into entertaining us, and if it became too much would totally understand. A merry Christmas and peaceful new year to you all. ❤
How lovely to see blue sky, sunshine, and flowers for Christmas. I'm glad you're feeling more relaxed and ready to enjoy the day. Merry Christmas from snowy Canada.🎄
I am truly surprised at how big Christmas is in Thailand.. I never expected such a westernized thing to be so celebrated there. I was there again from 24th Nov to 11th Dec and pretty much concreted how much I love Thailand.
Displaying lights during Christmas predates the holiday itself. It started in Scandinavian countries to brighten up Winter Solstice to turning night into day. Christmas is forever, not just for one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself. Merry Christmas to you all who are coming to celebrate happily. Thanks for sharing your thoughts by decorating and decide what to buy for the kids in this winter season too. You are the most kind to the kids and celebrating with the adults with fun and happiness Christmas Party wishes too.
Love to see this every year, getting bigger and bigger for your rural community - it makes me smile, and feel very grateful to be able to give you what I can every month, despite how hard it is at the moment. Seeing you all happy, and the kids smile, is enough for me. Forget the haters brother, let them go spread their hate and jealousy somewhere else. You and Damo have a fantastic life, just sit back, breathe and accept the collective love. You know I'm always here if you and the family need anything. Merry Christmas to you, Damo, Tis and Hugo, and the wider village community. Much love from Western Australia.
The property is looking great guys. Looking forward to the Xmas party. Please don't leave us too soon guys. It's one of the best parts of my week. Happy Xmas ❤
Great time of year for a big celebration, cool weather...tis season to be Jolly hohoho. Like the bicycle idea where they can be shared and borrowed. Wow Damo and Ryan you are looking more beautiful every episode haha. You all look like you're having fun. listen to Damo and dont buy the rubbish, the stuffed animals and blankets are useful. haha Happy Times. Peace and Love Y'all PS Yes the Thais love the big amps and bigger speakers at every event...most times this old retiree cannot handle the volume.
Your place looks so beautiful. There has been so many changes over the years. I just love the way it looks. The kids are going to have a great Christmas.
The BIG tree in your yard would look awesome with a load of lights on it....good job for one of the locals to do by climbing up it and draping it with fairy lights.❤
Thanks for all your work for Christmas day ryan and damo. This is wonderful. Going to be lovely day for all the children. Don't ever give you tube up. Thoroughly enjoy. 😊😊
I so loooooove Apple. Love your videos and you both provide inspiration 😊. People will always want you to fail. There are more people that would like you to succeed.
Great that the children have something to look forward to at Christmas which is down to you both and your subscribers. Hoping everything goes well for the big day . Wishing you all a very happy Christmas. Always interesting and informative and entertaining
Merry Christmas,Ryan, Damo,Ottis and all of family.Sending love from America😢,yes im back for holidays but so sad here,miss my home'Chaing Rai'.Great job guy's,those kids are so happy.
A merry christmas to you ryan and the family. Donation sent. Looking forwards to the vlog! Last year was a treat to watch on christmas day. All the best
Beautiful family. Beautiful looking and nice style and colours of clothing. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a very good 2025 Cheers from Durban, South Africa.
Merry Christmas to you & your beautiful family Ryan🎄🎄🎄Colin & I have been In Bangkok for almost 2 weeks now & unfortunately, our hotel has weak WiFi 😱 The garden lights look amazing and thanks for sharing this video 😊
@@lifeinruralthailand gosh, thank you Ryan! We’re nomadic right now for the next 3 months . Will be heading back to the US in mid March to really decide on what to do. We’re scouting places to live in right now. I will reach out to you when we make our final move back to Thailand.. Will be watching your channel here in Thailand when we get good WiFi ok? 😊
Damo your dress is so beautiful! We will be in Thailand in March for three weeks and I'd love to buy one similar. Are they sold in shops in Bangkok? I love how it matched the bougainvillea at the start :)
Buying gifts for kids is ALWAYS hit and miss. You can spend$2 on a treasure and $200 on something that goes in the garbage. It’s frustrating! The party prob means more to the kids than the gifts. As a Granny I’ve taken to purchasing experiences for them rather than stuff😉

Happy Christmas from Khon Kean. Don't go for a ride with food on the dam Khon Kaen thats really is a sound deafening my Thai relations loved it i think it killed all fish within 50 metres 555
Why would they want to know it's not part of their religious beliefs the Thais are very welcoming to other religions it's part of their religious beliefs of tolerance but don't push it on them that's what I can make out of it but why would I know I am an atheist anyway, the Thais do love a party so why not have a party of Christmas with presents for the kids I don't think the Buddhist religion has anything like this in their Buddhist calendar were the kids get spoilt and have a party and it's an excuse for the parents to get Mao and chat.
Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. Actually in the Bible it says not to partake in these pagan activities. This is a product of the Antichrist. Also Jesus was never a Christian. Christianity is a product of the Antichrist . Every letter that makes the word Christian makes the word Antichrist. Any way believe whatever you feel happy with but you'll never be happy.
@@siscott6066 I don't see Buddhism as a religion. More of a way of life. I don't have a religion but I realized that I have be living like a Buddhist. It's more like an inner journey than an outter one. Like praying. It is centred more on inner peace. You can control the world but you can control how you relate to it.

I’ve spent some money on bikes over the years. Never regretted a dime. One $30 pink trike comes to mind. Every grandkid rode and loved it.😉
Thanks for all your work for Christmas day ryan and damo. This is wonderful. Going to be lovely day for all the children. Don't ever give you tube up. Thoroughly enjoy. 😊😊
Excellent job, this is my favourite part of Christmas! I'm trying to start something similar at my village with my wife.
What we do for children in Jersey Village is wonderful to see, keep it up.

Where is Alfie?
Probably in the room snoring on the sofa haha
Does the Thai culture know and discuss the Christian origin of Christmas…The Son of God was born of a virgin and died to bring salvation to mankind?
Not that i know of, in the schools they treat it more like a commercial holiday
Why would they want to know it's not part of their religious beliefs the Thais are very welcoming to other religions it's part of their religious beliefs of tolerance but don't push it on them that's what I can make out of it but why would I know I am an atheist anyway, the Thais do love a party so why not have a party of Christmas with presents for the kids I don't think the Buddhist religion has anything like this in their Buddhist calendar were the kids get spoilt and have a party and it's an excuse for the parents to get Mao and chat.

The tradition of giving gifts at Christmas is based on the story of the Three Wise Men presenting gifts to the infant Jesus
Yes, the Christmas story is told in the Bible, and is found in the gospels of Matthew and Luke: Matthew 1:18-2:23 and Luke 1:26-2:40.
