Happy Holidays to all. Maddie, if this doesn't drive your followers up to another level I will be surprised. The quality of your opening shots combined with the raw footage of your first Christmas tree adventure is amazing. This video evoked images from my first Christmas with my first wife in 1982 when we had just closed on our first house a few weeks earlier. We baked cookie ornaments and made a pile of the lead frame ornaments that used plastic to melt inside the frames in the oven aka fake stained glass. It is refreshing to see a couple so in love just starting out. Thank you for perhaps being the first duck mother on YT. We all know who the mouse queen is today but your video is just ducky.
Oh my goodness, just finished watching this video and was so touched I had to come back and comment. This made me feel so emotional and wonderful at the same time. The snow, the roof 🫣, the Christmas trees, the ducks ❤️🩹 and the birds and Elisa and the way you care for them 💝, your creativity including your animals in your ornament craft time 💖, the joy you radiate and your passion, your beautiful friendship, the background music etc... Thank-you for sharing your lives and your joy and kindness and trusting the process 🥰
When peanut was in your home being treated my heart swelled. It is so endearing the way your ducks interact with you both. Also, it’s snowing where I am too and this added perfectly to the cozy winter atmosphere 🇨🇦❄️
Well, maddie, That was definitely a wonderful winter video, and you had so much snow, which is incredible, and your Xmas trees looked lovely!! So, thanks for sharing 👍
♥💕💞🥰 what a great episode ladies so warm and inviting. If you didn't have that holiday season feeling before you would after watching this one for sure. 😆😆😆🎅
This video was perfect . Taking care of the Peanuts flapper.. I got a bit lost in this one ,thinking about Christmas. It was a good kind of lost . Ill be making clay Christmas ornaments . I just love you girls ,,,, Whats not to love ?
I didn't want this video to end! I love a snowy winter wonderland and you captured the beauty of it perfectly. Your "tannenbaum" is so lovely and the hand made ornaments make it even more special. Thank you so much, Maddie and Eli, for sharing such a memorable time with us.
I enjoyed this video very much! I love seeing your dogs 🐕 🐕 walk in the snow ❄️, the beautiful nature of Germany, cutting down your Christmas tree 🎄, decorating your tree 🎄by making your own cute homemade Christmas ornaments, making a wittle snowman ⛄️, attending your duck’s wounded web and the both of you just being silly and happy! It was a great way of spreading good holiday cheer! I love how Eliza does her zoomies in the snow ❄️ 😂🐕🥰 and the other black dog is so cute! Is that Ellie’s pet? Anyways I’m a dog mom and I love dogs 🐕 ❤☺️ In all…it’s wonderful that you and Ellie are making your own happy memories in Germany 🇩🇪 😃
Aawww, opening with magical nature shots that I love so much. Then Hallmark / Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation :) Perfect Xmas trees and perfect decorations. Brilliant idea. I trust your roof will be fine. Praying for sunshine.
Loved your video this week Maddie and Elli. The snow made it feel more like Christmas. We don't get snow here in NZ at Christmas time as we are into our summertime. Makes it hard to feel Christmasy when it is summertime . Hope you get your roof done before your winter fully arrives. I loved your homemade decorations ❤
Amazing how pine trees can look small in the great outdoors and then when you get them home they are huge inside the house! Hunting down the perfect Christmas tree is fun. 🎄
Omg I loved this slow-paced type of video so much 🤩 it really got me in a festive mood!🎄❄️ And now I wanna know what the 3 onions in your pocket were for…😂
Great job on the decorations! Make sure you keep the trees watered so the don’t dry out too quickly. Can really be a fire hazard. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Your folk art decorations and your fur and feather friends decorations turned out beautifully. I'm buying air dry clay tomorrow to do with my little ones...they will love this and hopefully the kitties won't put up too much of a fight. Yes, I am totally stealing your vibe. What an incredible wonderland in the forest with shots of the swans and ducks. Simply heaven. (I hope that little duck foot heals up well)
We need moments, that bring peace to our chaotic lives. Thank you for sharing yours. Though, the issue with the roof and the poor ducks foot, you managed to find a bit of peace and fun 😊... honestly I needed this moment...thank you 🤗💛🤗
OMG Maddie, I Love how u 2 make lemonade out of lemons. How fun cutting down a real tree, we did that when I was a kid in Half Moon Bay, CA. The purest form of nature. 🎄 Ur ornaments turned out amazing, u 2 r so creative. Ur house is just so cozy & enviting. This is also my first Xmas decorating the middle of Nov. I just felt I needed a little more TLC this year & thought, why not? Praying u get ur roof on bfor winter winter hits...❄️🌨🌬☃️ this was a feel good video, ty!
Great Video!! Thanksgiving next week and Christmas in another month. Terrific trees too. That sure is a pretty area of Germany y'all have settled in. Thank Y'all for this Super Video 👍 Stay Safe, keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍🐕🦺
Thank you for sharing your first Christmas in your new home! It’s so exciting to see everything coming together and we loved seeing the furry, and feathered, family members helping with the decorations too. Wishing Peanut a speedy recovery and we hope you can get to securing your roof soon. All the best.
Maddie and Elli, thank you so much for the wonderful holiday video and sharing the fun in the snow that Eliza and Ottie, Draco and Peanut were having. It's your very 1st Christmas together in your new home! I loved watching both of you making, decorating and personalizing each ornament---perhaps you'll start a yearly tradition! As always, both of you are keeping a positive outlook and making the best of the roof situation---let's hope Mother Nature cooperates with fair weather so the crew can finish it soon~Cheers
Thank you Patrica 🥺🫶🏼 That would be a really cute tradition to have ! And I also hope Mother Nature looks out for us, so we will have a finished roof, before the next snow comes !
Very creative ornaments! Give the treed plenty of water. Maybe use a leaf blower to remove a bunch of snow. Possibly tarp where necessary. Other than that, everything looks ducky!!☃️⛄️🎄🎄🦤🦤🦤❤️
Great video. Our family tradition is to cut a small cross-section of our live tree and to make an ornament of it to remind us of this tree in all the years to come.
Maddie, perhaps some watercolors of the duckies for you home too!? I miss seeing your beautiful art work, but I know you’re incredibly busy renovating your new home 🥰 Oh,never mind. Got to the part where you guys are making the ornaments 😁
Frohe Weihnachten! For many years, I haven't really celebrated Christmas in any real way. But your video made me feel like decorating a little this year and make my home cozy, like yours. Thank you for inspiring me to do something nice for myself! Love to everyone there from everyone here (Toronto)!
Winter is here, there and everywhere, North of the Equator! Here, it's rain and wind (at least so far), there snow (so far) and everywhere else........a mix? Great job Maddie, Elli, Eliza, Peanut, Ottie, and Draco keep up the good work!
Aimee from Kinging It would be so happy to see the birds flying into the feeder. She built her own “fat bird cafe” but has yet to catch the birds using it. Love seeing how cosy your house will be this winter (once the roof is done).
I loved this video. It felt so soft and warm. I love how you're making your own memories. Those ornaments will be cherished for sure. Be safe on the roof. That's gonna be tough. Thank you for sharing these moments. I hope your duck heals soon. ❤❤😊
SO AWESOME!!! Hope you enjoyed your snow. And I hope you are able to get your roof completed. What a fun time making your ornaments. What great memories of your first Christmas in this house☺️🎄
I really enjoyed this vlog, great videography, the drone footage was beautiful. I seem to have missed the introduction of another dog, is it yours? a friends or neighbours? I have a massive soft spot for a black labrador having lived with 2 for 25 years in total. Eliza seems to be enjoying life in Germany 😀
What a beautiful winter wonderland. Your Christmas ornaments turned out beautiful. You girls are very artistic. I tried painting a Christmas Mug and it looks like a 5 year old did it. Did you guys get a new dog? I've been seeing the black dog in some of your videos. I hope you can somehow get the roof finished soon. How about putting some tarps up on the roof and waiting until Spring to finish?
It's nice with snow Eliza then seemed to like the snow Such nice decorations for the Christmas tree you made, you both are really good at painting Enjoy the snow and each other
Wow very christmasy - I live in Iceland and we actually celebrate Christmas very similar to the Germans and I think the Germans make the best Christmas decoration. Those wooden figurines from Erzgebirge are so beautiful and for me perfectly capture the spirit of Christmas - I have a huge collection of Music Angels from Wendt & Kühn which I absolutely love.
Love this, also love all the snow is gorgeous! if not a bit frustratingly early when you have so many projects on the go! (I realised I watched this video earlier this week and didnt comment. for shame!) You are both brilliant!
Most of the time I know what my comment will be before the video ends. This is one of those occasions when nothing exceptionally strange or goofy comes to mind (so, you’re welcome, lol). It was just a normal, thoroughly enjoyable video that I’ve come to know you will always deliver! I hope you both have an awesome week, and if you’re celebrating Thanksgiving there, that you have a great day!! Love the ornaments too!!
Happy Holidays to all. Maddie, if this doesn't drive your followers up to another level I will be surprised.

Love your tree and decorations.
You’re not only making ornaments, you’re making beautiful memories. 🐶🦮🐾🦆And the snow was the cherry on top. 🌨️❄️☃️🎄

I know some German friends living in NZ and they celebrate Christmas in June, when it’s winter in NZ :)
We had the same amount of snow in Denmark. So so cozy and beautiful 😊
Yeees! I hope there will be more snow in December!❄️
@itsmeelli Me too! 🎅🥰
Amazing how pine trees can look small in the great outdoors and then when you get them home they are huge inside the house! Hunting down the perfect Christmas tree is fun. 🎄
What a sweet video. So nice to see you girls doing some light hearted things after all the big jobs you have tackled. 💞💞🌲🌲

Aww yay I’m so glad you’re trying this out! Wishing you luck, ours was a bit chaotic but so worth it 😅 wishing you and your fur babies happy holidays!
Beautiful, fun and creative video. I love snow..... in other people's life. Cheers from sunny and warm South California 🌴

@Maddie.taylor I've heard that putting sugar in the Christmas tree water helps with keeping it greener longer. 🌲
Making traditions and memories ❤
Jaa🥺
Loved this video. The ornaments you made are so precious! 🎄❤
this oldman can truly say you both have such talent and love what you have made over this journey. I'm so glad I follow you
Such fun. When my kids were little we made ornaments and we still do. Enjoy

Very relaxing to watch as usual 🙂
Aww 🫶🏼
It's never too early to decorate if it makes you happy.
The house is beautiful, Happy Holidays to you both
Winter is here, there and everywhere, North of the Equator! Here, it's rain and wind (at least so far), there snow (so far) and everywhere else........a mix? Great job Maddie, Elli, Eliza, Peanut, Ottie, and Draco keep up the good work!

Yes it's nice to see the Wind and Rain after the Fires all summer. Near pun intended as a shout out to Earth, Wind & Fire.
Aimee from Kinging It would be so happy to see the birds flying into the feeder. She built her own “fat bird cafe” but has yet to catch the birds using it. Love seeing how cosy your house will be this winter (once the roof is done).
Thank you for sharing. Take all.
Aloha please stay warm from the snow and have a good thanksgiving too
What a beautiful tree ! Well done girls ! Snow for Christmas ! Perfect. ❤❤❤
That was cozy ❤ are you gonna sell ornaments, those were lovely.
Thanks for starting my Christmas spirit early!
Ich fand es auch sehr überraschend, dass es so früh geschneit hat. Euer Baum ist großartig. So gemütlich bei euch ❤
Vor allem weil jetzt wieder 14Grad + sind !
@ 🤩ja das stimmt 🙈
I loved this video. It felt so soft and warm. I love how you're making your own memories. Those ornaments will be cherished for sure. Be safe on the roof. That's gonna be tough. Thank you for sharing these moments. I hope your duck heals soon. ❤❤😊
Thanks for sharing! This was an awesome video I enjoyed it tremendously!
Awww so so glad!! Thank you for being here 🥲
The ornaments are so pretty.
I love this all so much! The videography, music, beautiful ornaments and complete joy🤗
SO AWESOME!!!
Hope you enjoyed your snow. And I hope you are able to get your roof completed.
What a fun time making your ornaments. What great memories of your first Christmas in this house☺️🎄
I really enjoyed this vlog, great videography, the drone footage was beautiful. I seem to have missed the introduction of another dog, is it yours? a friends or neighbours? I have a massive soft spot for a black labrador having lived with 2 for 25 years in total. Eliza seems to be enjoying life in Germany 😀
she's Elli's mama's dog, Frieda! We're only pup-sitting, but Eliza and her get along so well :')
What a GEM of a cozy cute eppy!!! Inspiring me to decorate too eee!
The only disadvantage of putting the Christmas tree in the house so early could be that it might not have many needles left by Christmas.😅
Well definitely have to water it a bunch, that’s for sure! 😂
It’s gonna be interesting 😅
You guys are soooo artistic!👍🏾
Always love watching you two doing videos and the adventures hi from Ontario Canada
Have a Merry Christmas and a Great/Happy New Year! thanks
I love love love this vlog❤
oh yeah, most definitely wonderful. happy snow.

Beautiful tree! So I must ask; white lights or colored lights?
We have white lights but I personally love both!
Love you Maddie!😊
