Dang dude! He grows food, he builds stuff(with a welder, no less), he holds babies, he loves his woman and his kids, he smokes food to perfection, he gets emotional....AND plays the guitar! No wonder Meg loves you so. ❤️ We are thankful for y’all. Happy Thanksgiving!
Did the turkey look all dark and kinda burnt looking because it was smoked? It sure looked good!
I regret that I have but one Thumbs-Up to give.
LOVED the ending with the guitar! who knew you played!?!?!?!?!???
Those of us that have followed their whole journey and all the other channels they have popped up in know! 😊🎶🎶 I remember Jim Wilson and Ben playing around the campfire at the HOA 3 years ago, before they found home!
He's an all round, multi-talented guy.
Exactly, so cool!
I bet those boys lives are SO much better now. Not to mention being somewhere where they can just run free...but to see you two loving each other and them. Here's to second chances!!!
Amen!
I'm an East European and I must say that Thanksgiving meant nothing to me until I saw your video two years ago.
Happy Thanksgiving guys. From the bottom of my heart.
A day of thanksgiving is for EVERYONE.
A beautiful Thanksgiving story, beginning to end. Y'all have me in tears as well. Everything looked so wonderful, and I eat at the end of the day as well, and wow, your spread was amazing! I love that many go around the table with a message of thanksgiving . And Ben, it was especially nice to hear you play again. Until next time...
Beautiful comment, bosmanSaoirse! Happy Thanksgiving.
Ben, I can't imagine what your playing would sound like on a 12 string guitar. Beautiful harmonies and harmonics.
I thought that too..
I was thinking the same thing!
So wonderful!
Same though! 🤯💜
I feel blessed to watch the Hollars,s, as the Hollar’s are a very blessed family. I enjoy watching your journey. And Ben, awesome playing the guitar.🦃😽🐮🕺💃🧍🏼🧍🏼🧍🏼🧍🏼👶🎼
Oh my you made me cry ..”thankful for second chances “ got me ...what an amazing story of what God can do ! Beautiful! Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your story ..love the kiddos answers too ! I’m thankful to God for all of you❣️
I have been married for 47 years some hard years and some easer years but always glad we hung to gather. Always remember standing up and knowing this is the one for me.
Use more of Ben's guitar playing for background music! love it!
All the goodness!! You have the most wonderful boys. That little girl will be the luckiest sister ever! Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Won't she though!!??? I pity the fool that EVER tries to hurt her in any way. Her partner in life will have a huge line to measure up to!!
Agree!!!!
Would like to see more interactions with your sons on the videos, similar to Justin Rhodes. They look like great kids.
Just imagine her with all those big brothers. Some will be bossy, some romantic poets to inspire, so kindred spirits. Such a life she'll live.
Your boys and girl will always remember, their mom cooking and baking pies,and their dad playing guitar!
I loved hearing your lists. And no. It's not too heavy. It was beautiful to hear.
Your playing should become your background music! It’s beautiful!
Before my parents passed, we would have pancakes or waffles for breakfast, then snack for lunch and finally a slightly early feast for dinner. Then later play card games and have seconds.
I'M THANKFUL FOR THE HOLLARS! THANKS FOR THE GUITAR PLAYING AT THE END. 💞
Baby is starting to look like Mama!
I’m thankful you were all unhurt in your accident!
Love the guitar playing.
Such a lovely family and day for you. Loved the guitar playing at the end
Ms Meg's laughter could warm the coldest heart! Many blessings to ya'll.
And. ...it has I'm sure...
Ben and Meg are the boys interested in playing music if so this would be a great time to teach them how at their age.
Knowing your back story and watching you for the past 6 months is such a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing your lives.
You have a way of touching my heart. Tears and laughter are both contagious.
The reflection of the boys in the window while Ben was playing the guitar priceless😊
Beautiful guitar solo!
Who knew Ben was so musically talented? Hey! A short clip of that would make a great intro for all your videos. Awesome - thanks for letting us in on your secret talent.
You’re daughter is so aware and very pretty. Reflective comments from all of you. It looks like your Thanksgiving was very special.😊👍🥰❣️
The talent never ends........Look at the delicious favorites of everyone's included and the turkey looked so good. Yummm Talented cooks, bakers, player of music, soap makers, knife maker.....five beautiful children.......loving spouses........new home, new land, sense of freedom to be who you wish to be.........I'd say you are blessed in so many many ways..........God bless you and what a beautiful family gathering and being ever so thankful and all together celebrating!
Love you guys.......you're the best! You have aced everything you have gone for even through dire circumstances and almost tragedies........you won the day! I'd say you won the lottery actually of life!
God bless you all.............
From Baksfld to NC I've ridden the ride w/u via YT and you guys are amazing! Love to all!
Thankful for you guys. For putting yourselves out there. For giving people hope in their season of hard. Thank you. 🥰🥰
What a journey you HOLLARS have taken and to come out the other end able to share with others....a true blessing you all are❤️
In your new home and have a big kitchen to cook in,a lot different then last year.Thanks Ben for the great music.
SO glad that Ben's little dance was captured on video. Got to see a side of him we don't usually see.
I’m thankful for my health, my family my patients health and for friends that care
Aww, y'all had me tearing up at "second chances"...SO happy for you! Ben, great acoustic work there!

I wish I could give an extra thumbs up for the fingerstyle at the end. Very nice!
I am thankful for you guys allowing us to see a part of your life and following you on your journey to a second start. And I am thankful for the beautiful music that Ben played for us at the end, really nice!
Beautiful family, enjoying our freedoms in America! You gave us a picture of what our country is all about, Awesome guitar playing, you are all so talented, thanks for sharing
And on top of everything ladies & gentlemen, he Plays Guitar ! Now That’s a Blessing
"For the gifts that come when you stick it out."
That got me right in the feels. 😢
I'm also holding my 9 week old baby boy in my arms; who we have because we stuck it out, and he is the most precious gift we could ever receive. ❤
You all have achieved so much in one year on your homestead it’s mind blowing. Blessings to a wonderful family. Oh, and very good guitar playing Ben. 😀👍
Precious moments. I love seeing your family sharing their love with one another. Thanks again for sharing your story with us.
woohoo! what a joy it must be... certainly was to watch!
Leaving California soon; counting the days (40ish left). Been years in the works.
Happy TG! Thanks for the share.
Your family is such a blessing to all of us who watch and are encouraged by your story and lives, may your days be filled with nothing but joy!
the lord sent me here, why to see real life , and to see good people still are here on this earth, love the guitar playing and i am thankful for your family ,God bless
That was so beautiful I had my eyes close taken it all in very beautiful Ben
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Hollar’s. Ben should play the music for all your vlogs. Keeping you in my prayers.
You all have such a nice family. I know from watching some of your past videos that when you were still in California, you were at a cross-roads. Well, clearly you made the hard decisions and have done the hard work. I'm so happy for you all and thankful that you share yourselves on UA-cam. Watching your family restores my hopes for humanity. I was tearing up a little bit toward the end there, when Meg start her thanks. But it was good tearing up. Thank you for sharing with us, Hollers.
Nice family, nice guitar piece, nice film!
Yeah the intro music reminded me of playing my mom's dulcimer
You guys always have the most beautiful Thanksgiving videos. But Ben...holy cow, had no idea you could play and it was just lovely. Gosh, is there anything you all can't do?!
Mate, you are an artist - when I saw you making that knife and now this lovely music.
And he can play a guitar!!! Like your channel isn't already my fave and along comes home made music 🎶...🌻🌿❤💚
I didn’t know you played . Thank you it was lovely.
There is something that comes over me maybe some kind of emotion I feel that can not be described, when I watch someone sit and pick. The tones and vibrations run through me I enjoyed watching you play the guitar .
This, to me, has been the most encompassing and genuinely familial ever, on UA-cam for us non natives. That you may long continue. All is Love here.
ok you almost had me crying, so much accomplished this past year for you all, and having the baby to complete the restoration of your family - God is Good! thank you for the music at the end, you should consider more of that in future vlogs, blessings to the Hollars!
no guts, no glory....God has blessed your family richly!
Didn't know you played guitar , absolutely amazing and beautiful. Is there anything you can't do? Happiness and god fortune to you all.
No, not too heavy for UA-cam. Your truth is real, and many others are fighting the same fight. Keep going, looks like you’re healing perfectly. ❤️❤️
Happy Thanksgiving. Yes a lot to be thankful for you all this year, it all came together didn’t it? We watchers are thankful you have shared your journey with us. 👍☺️❤️
Such beautifully written song and guitar playing, thank you Ben for sharing that!
Love Brett’s reaction to “Do you room for dessert?” He’s layed out and his response... 👍
Beautiful family. Ben, I never new you played the guitar. Very good, well done and so nice to hear while the world is in a tizzy. Thank you for a relaxing few moments :)
im too grateful for our little homestead. the food i grow. that security. i pray for those impacted by 2020. and grateful we weren't.
I'M THANKFULL FOR you All and this GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE LIVE IN. GOD BLESS All the Home steaders
I had 3 kids and no matter what quantity I cooked I never had leftovers at end of weekend. Just us and My MIL. They filled up and kept filling up. You would think they starved the rest of the year. Love your sharing. Loved your music too. Great family
Great show tonight. Family love and togetherness. God's blessings. We loved the music at the end. I could listen all night. Happy Thanksgiving.
Your baby is just beautiful!! She smiles all the time. Such a blessing! Your whole family is beautiful, and I love watching you.
I’m thankful for being rocked by Ben, 😆 You can’t hold a baby and stand still. 💋
I loved your eldest son playing with his little baby sister, just the gorgeous look on his face.
Ya'll have an amazing family filled with blessings and faith. I'm happy to watch your vlogs and the interactions for over 2 years. Thank you.
Wish they'd add a love button in stead of just a thumbs up ❣❣many blessings to all of you
Nice "dismantling" job there! Haahaa.
Awww guys...tears of gratitude. Thank you all for sharing your amazing life with us. A true inspiration. Much Love
Didn’t know you played the guitar-that’s great!!
Your daughter just gets cuter and cuter
Happy Thanksgiving Hollar Family..
Thank you for letting us be a part of your family.
Happy Thanksgiving! Brought tears to my eyes during the “what we are thankful for.”
This year was Gods way of saying slow down pray and be grateful. Health, family.
i feel so blessed to be part of your extended family.
Wow, I did not know that Ben played the guitar. So wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving to all you. What a feast.
I hope you had a very blessed day for giving thanks!!
It has been so special to go through some of your days with you, lows and highs, but this has been a challenging year for so many of us!!
Blessings to all as we enter into this holiday season, with faith and integrity, following our ADONAI to what ever HE has for us to do!!
Fantastic meal, hard work and dedication made an old house into a nice cozy home. We are thankful for every day and pray to make better each one to come.
“Stay positive” is a great black humor for a t-shirt...
I didn't know Ben played an instrument.
And beautifully
Amazingly
Really well done . Quite the pro
Us either ..but play he can!!!!
I came away from this video thinking...how have I watched them for almost 2 yrs and not known this. Surely, I must have missed some videos with them mentioning this.
Hello, Beautiful Family!!
What a lovely spread of abundant food, fun, and fellowship amongst the Hollars! This here trapped SoCal gal lives vicariously through y'all! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful lives with us. May the Lord continue to pour down His blessings upon y'all!
Beautiful music Ben - happy holidays Hollars - it's been a very good year - an odd one but a good one!
I'm thankful to Our Redeemer for how in many ways that you and family and farm have survived and grown. God's blessings multiplied to y'all from Texas. ☝️🙏🇺🇸💪👉...
So glad you had a great day!!! Don't forget where you were and how you overcame the adversitys!! Love y'all!!!😋💞
The guitar playing was wonderful!
Oh I’m never early! I think 2020 has shown us all we do have so much to be thankful for and brought many families closer together. I know your family has already learned that and we’ve all been so lucky to see your journey. ♥️
Ben, you’re a man of many talents. ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving to a very lovely family. 🦃
Little one is adorable! I now have baby fever 🤣 Thankful for all my kids.
Beautiful Thanksgiving spread. I like my turkey falling off the bone, too.
I use my kitchenaid stand mixer with the paddle attachment for mashing potatoes. It makes easy work of potatoes, and then throw in my butter and seasonings. Looks Amazing!
If you dont have to be dragged kicking and screaming into things, then you dont get the things that you will look back and remember with joy.
Happy Thanksgiving Hollars
Omg your food looked so delicious. Haven't had smoked turkey in ages. Your have a wonderful family and I'm sure your so proud of them all.
Blessings to all of you. 🦃🙂🇺🇸
