Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our UA-cam family! I’m reading every one of your comments and we thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to us!
Shawn this was a great Christmas present you gave us viewers. I know Erin and your wife don’t really like to be on camera and I appreciate so much that they stepped out of their comfort zone to do this. Of course Calli is for me the star and I loved seeing her on her birthday also. Thank you to all of you and may you continue to have success in the new year.
I especially love seeing this because I can only imagine how lucky you all are to have this incredible property to enjoy I dream of what it would be like to live in this fabulous cabin. I love the work you did. Thank you for sharing it with us. Merry Christmas to the James family. 🎄♥
@@Alphaphotographer~ 🌟🎄🌟 Thank-you, for your beautiful comment. "Very, very, nice.💫 I, totally agree 💯 per. Cent. 👍👍 Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🌟🎄🌟 🍃🇺🇸🕊️🇨🇦🕊️🌎🕊️🍃
Thank you for this lovely Christmas Video a very very precious gift. From tha Blackforest in Germany we eish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 💖🤗🎉👍🐅🌲🎍🎇🎁✨🌨️❄️☃️
You outdone yourself with the ending music and nature views Shawn. I am not sure words can express how much this whole video touched me as this encapsulates what many of us who love the Northwoods envision a family gathering. Best to you and yours this holiday season!
I myself have two daughters in their 30’s. Our lives feel complete when they and all come to visit us in our 1940’s cabin on a River here in IL. Every little task, improvement, seems worth it all in these moments.
Un saludo para todos los tuyos en estas fechas tan señaladas y gracias por todo el bien que me ha hecho ver los vídeos durante tanto tiempo y espero seguir viendo 🙏
I bet the most happiest you have been is sitting there cooking hearing your family talking in the next room, with everything you built with your hands.... have to cherish those moments
I wonder how it is really? He lives alone and barely ever sees his family. I recall him saying in the past that they begrudgingly accept his life because it's what he wants - to live alone in the wilderness. Despite his accompishments, that seems awfully selfish to me. Perhaps he's discussed more that I haven't heard and if you know, would be interested to hear the skinny? Thanks.
This entire production, the ambiance, the scenery, the videography, the lovely choices in music, the feeling of home, the closing Silent Night - it moved me to tears.
🇬🇧 You all brought tears to my old Eyes seeing you all as a Family enjoying Christmas dinner together A very Happy and Holy Christmas to Everyone including Callie .
Hello from Florida! I don't usually comment on any of the UA-cam channels I follow, but I just wanted to say that this was absolutely beautiful and comforting! It just goes to show that the Christmas spirit is still alive and well for so many of us. I almost got teary-eyed during the Silent Night scenes. Thank you for really heartwarming video!
Merry Christmas, Shawn. It's become a bit of a tradition over the last eight years! Hope you and the family enjoy a wonderful festive season, love from Scotland.
Shawn, I've watched all the episodes from the beginning of the first cabin. It was beautiful. Watched the new cabin rise from the forest floor and also the greenhouse. Cali has been by your side for most of this time. I've watched Emily with your help build her cabin. But this episode shows why you spent this time and effort to make a beautiful home. The wife and girls helping with the meal, all the fresh ingredients and the love put into the meal was beautiful. The interior is decorated tastefully, and everyone enjoys it. Thanks for allowing us a peek through the lens of your celebration. May you and your Family have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Another year passes, children get older, dogs become fonder and if we are lucky peace reigns in our homes and lives. Here's wishing you and your family all the joy and peace in this coming year. Thank you for sharing your life and your family with us all.
What a lovely family you have, Shawn! This was such a touching video…seeing you all enjoying your Christmas together in the home you built, eating foods that you harvested. It looked delicious! Callie loved her new toy. I loved the Silent Night and forest neighbors at the end! Very emotional. Your photography is divine! Love and Merry Christmas to all the James family!🥰❤️🤗🎄 Oh! Precious memories of the young girls around the tree!🎉Harriet
I am watching this video in July. I wish I had seen it when it first came out. It certainly would have been a great addition to the holidays! Thanks so much for all you do to make these available to all of us! God bless you and your family!
Must be so cool knowing your dad is one of the most prepared guys in Canada, the 2007 part was an epic reminder to cherish the days! stellar Cannes level video production as usual. Merry xmas!
I was touched by this. It felt like the culmination of everything that's gone before and the christening of the cabin and it's place in your family. I feel like I know it intimately. It's not just any cabin in the woods but one I saw built. I have an understanding of what it took and where it came from. It was an empty plot of land that grew into a warm and protective home. I appreciate the time and effort and the sharing. Others lives are made richer because of it and I feel a vested emotional interest in a place I will never visit and people I will never meet. Thank you for that opportunity. Happy holidays!
Me, too. I kept marveling at every aspect of the cabin and reveling in the fast that it was single-handedly built. Just seems like an incredible feat for one human (with a supportive family and canine).
I love the wood cook stove. The old ones like my grandma had was terribly inefficient but I can see yours is a modern twist on an old idea. Cooking in winter= heat too, love it.
Shawn, I have been following you for quite a while and let me tell you, you have worked hard and have done what a lot of us would like to do but for one reason or another we are what we are. You have a beautiful family and I hope you cherish that. I'm 85 years old and on the downhill now so cherish what you have now and remember the good times and tender moments you share with your loved ones. This was a beautiful video and yes, it brought a tear to my eye because life is short, and I know this beautiful life can't last. I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas. Good health to your and yours.
For those of us that have been with you for each and every video over the years, this was such an epiphany of all your hard work. Your beautiful family in the incredible setting you've created. All of this did my soul so much good. Your dreams realized and shared with those you love. Merry Christmas!!! What a wonderful video to celebrate with.....
Merry Christmas, Shawn & family 🎄 from 🇩🇰 Beautiful video, great music, and thank you for including ‘Silent Night’ at the end. People tend to forget what Christmas is really about.
The words to Silent Night praising Jesus, Our Lord and Savior is the reason and the true meaning for Christmas. Great song Shawn to end your beautifully made video. You are truly blessed with family, the love of family, and your talents to build the cabin seen here. All the best for 2024.
Been following your channel since the start of your cabin build. So impressive. Even though we have never met, you seem like an old friend. Merry Xmas to you and yours.
Thank you so much Shawn and ladies. I'm so happy your wife joined in and let us catch a few minutes of her with yall. I feel honored for you to video your Christmas dinner and share it with all of us. Very special and I appreciate all 5 of you including Cali of coarse. That was so cute when your wife handed Cali her gift and got excited when she seen it was a new throw toy but I believe the thrower has some practicing to do SHAWN haha Cali was like dad I've seen better from you,come on are you getting to old dad 😅😂. That really gave your new cabin the completed warm cozy feeling having your family together . I absolutely love what you've built cabin and family. You've got something really special Shawn. Seeing the videos from the past Christmas' was really nice as well. The girls really respected and loved each other when they were much younger too. Loved seeing them hug,so sweet. The animal and scenery part at the end was like video post cards. All of those shots were so unbelievable beautiful. Nature is a burst of merricles flowing in front of you. I want to wish you Shawn your wife and daughters a Merry Christmas and a happy New year and I hope the new year brings each of you fun, excitement,leisure, and joy and the best health possible. Thank you so much from way down here in NORTH CAROLINA, USA GOD BLESS & BE SAFE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so very, very much for sharing your life and hard work on the cabin. My wife and I watch everything you post on UA-cam. Your authenticity and honesty are exemplary for everyone and an inspiration for us in the pursuit of true values in life. Today you even made us shed a tear and two. Keep up the good work. You make the world a better place.

The simple research which I did, I named it simply: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY.
I met you this year, thank you for everything my friend Shawn! You taught me a lot in this little space of time. I keep counting the days until I watch your videos and your routine, learning more and more about this natural lifestyle. It inspired me to buy my land and make my own cabin. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year.
What a lovely Christmas! It was so heartwarming to see Cali get a present and how diligent she was in opening it. Your meal looked wonderful Shawn, and that pie was a great dessert. Thanks to the girls (mom included) for leaving their comfort zone to share a little of themselves. That was generous of you. I wish the whole James family a wonderful Christmas and a very healthy New Year. Hugs and scritches to sweet Cali!
This video is like a Christmas dream for me and lots of people ! Wonderful, to see the family connection, the environment, the incredible house. The house, the woodstove burning gentle, different food items in and out of the oven there, your wife and your daughters, and not the least, Cali. To see Cali ripping her Christmas gift open... Thank you for sharing!
Hearing your family, seeing the decorations, "smelling" the good food - your woodsy cabin has become a HOME. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!
It's nice to see everything come together for you and your family. And Cali steals the show again,,she is just a breath of fresh air. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas season. Blessings
You have made such incredible progress throughout 2023, Shawn, and I ask for God's blessing on you and your family in the coming year. I hope you find the peace that you are looking for, and you will reach your goal of becoming one with nature. :) Fist bumps from Rockwood
In this time of turmoil across the globe it’s wonderful to see family together sharing the holidays and each other. The cabin glows and the feast smells devine thank you for your hospitality in letting us enjoy your Christmas it is definitely very special. Cali’s enjoying her new toy too 💞 Merry Christmas to you all!🎄
I hope that this Christmas brings us a gift. That the many ungrateful sons who inhabit this planet can come to their senses. May they finally remember their parents all year round. And not just at Christmas. Amen.
Sir. I can imagine (just a little) how satisfying and gratifying it must feel to have Christmas with your family at the cabin you built. To me, you are my present day Dick Proenneke. Kudos.
What a beautiful, precious, wonderful, caring family! It was so precious the clip of the kids small and loving each other. The dinner was amazing and the cozy home. The creatures and snow was so pretty. Thank you Shawn and family for! I will never forget the Christmas with the sleigh mobile or the one with the fireplace. You always have a beautiful Christmas and I hope you did this year as well! Jesus is the reason! Happy birthday to him!
I’m a 51 year old man and this cabin and land around it is absolutely beautiful. This is right up my alley and I would love to have something like this to share with my wife and daughters. It seriously gives me cold chills watching this. I would never need to leave this place. Well done sir🙏🏼🤙🏼
The love and quality you give to each and every video continues to get more amazing . Your cinematography work is stunning. The true family time at Christmas was so perfectly captured. Thank you and your family for sharing the true meaning of the holiday season.
I never miss a video! I appreciate your candidness and willingness to share your life’s passion with us. You have created a group of people that love the outdoors even more than we did before your channel. More importantly you have demonstrated that there can be another lifestyle we can consider and accomplish. Peace to you and your family wishing you a Merry Christmas and a healthy 2024!
There is a reason Shawn has 2.15 million subscribers. There is no better video, so well done, so beautiful, anywhere else. Thank you Shawn for inviting us into your wonderful cabin for Christmas Dinner. Best to you and your family in the New Year. Ron in Pennsylvania.
Romans 9- 11. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame". 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mark 1:15 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Believe the gospel and be saved.❤😊
It is so heartwarming to see you with your family, enjoying your lovely home, built with your hard labour and capable hands. Absolutely lovely Shawn. I am so happy for you. You've worked very hard so enjoy every moment. UK.
Warmed my heart watching this Shaw and family. My eyes teared near the end as you showed nature and the song started playing. Peace to everyone. Thanks, I needed this.
Oh my gosh! I have been watching your videos since you started your first cabin...THIS is truly a crowning achievement. I savored every moment. Your talent for building this new cabin and growing an amazing garden, while caring for your family and Cali is truly inspirational. I so enjoyed watching this!! Thank you so very much for sharing with us all. Merry Christmas! Mark Brown, Kiel, Wisconsin, USA.
Thank you for the beautiful Christmas Day you are with us it gave me tears. You people are blessed and wonderful. The scenery is beautiful also. May the New Year be the best for you and your family. May the Lord bless and keep you safe.
Beautiful Family, beautiful Cabin, beautiful Land and a beautiful Dinner! You are living the life and I salute you all for letting us be part of it! Merry Christmas to you all and stay safe and Healthy! From an American in Germany...
Beautiful! Your cabin looks so cozy and festive! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your lovely family Shawn! Looks like Cali really enjoyed her gift!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mr. James! The best part of Christmas is the aroma of dinner and enjoying it with your family. Cali stole the show opening her gift. The footage of the animals is some of your best work, in my opinion. Wishing you all prosperity and good health in the coming year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday.
Thank you for sharing with us your BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. Your video was heart warming. May the Good Lord Bless you and your lovely wife and daughters this coming year.
extremely appreciative that you shared this with us. gave me a much-needed sense of peace and serenity. That must have made you all feel so fulfilled, job well done
Cali is a great dog!! Happy Birthday to her, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for the countless hours of relaxing videos over the years.
You managed to make my eyes leak. I was very sick this year. And had no family time. Thank you so very much for sharing yours. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. Hoping 2024 is the best to come. And Peace on Earth to all. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

I myself have two daughters in their 30’s. Our lives feel complete when they and all come to visit us in our 1940’s cabin on a River here in IL. Every little task, improvement, seems worth it all in these moments.
Loved how Cali knew exactly what to do when given the present. No doubt in her mind at all.
Merry Christmas to you & your family Shawn
Un saludo para todos los tuyos en estas fechas tan señaladas y gracias por todo el bien que me ha hecho ver los vídeos durante tanto tiempo y espero seguir viendo 🙏
Even before getting the present! She sat right down and waited. Good thing they had one for her. 😊
Merry Christmas. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Merry Christmas. Thank you for sharing. Calie steals the show
I bet the most happiest you have been is sitting there cooking hearing your family talking in the next room, with everything you built with your hands.... have to cherish those moments
This man truly has the best life. Wonderful skillsets, beautiful loving family, successful in his own rite, and forged it all by his own hands.
I wonder how it is really? He lives alone and barely ever sees his family. I recall him saying in the past that they begrudgingly accept his life because it's what he wants - to live alone in the wilderness. Despite his accompishments, that seems awfully selfish to me.

The Christmas video of your two young daughters is priceless!
It took me awhile to find old footage and then we could barely watch it without crying
@@MySelfRelianceThat video brought EVERYONE to tears that watched it! 🥰🥲 Thank You!
Such a beautiful and touching video. I was moved to tears. Thank you to you and your family for sharing. May you all be greatly blessed.
It really touched my heart too.
This entire production, the ambiance, the scenery, the videography, the lovely choices in music, the feeling of home, the closing Silent Night - it moved me to tears.
I'm not a dog person, but watchin' Cali not only accept, but tear open her Xmas present made me smile..what a smart dog!
This is amazing!! you didn't built a cabin... you built a happy home!! it's almost like a Christmas movie!!! 🎄🎄🎄
Please never stop sharing. You give me hope that there are loving families together & strong. So wonderful how you wrap it up for us. Thank you

Hello from East Tennessee. I also found this video very comforting and so heartfelt in every aspect. I love the cabin and all its charm and goodness.
Amazing cabin-awesome family to be proud of-great Woodstove/oven!!Who wouldn’t want to live there!?
So peaceful and beautiful!

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Seeing all 4 of you together made me cry. How wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.
From a small little hermit cabin to a full on Resort Home. Been watching for a long time and I gotta say.... well done.
Another year passes, children get older, dogs become fonder and if we are lucky peace reigns in our homes and lives. Here's wishing you and your family all the joy and peace in this coming year. Thank you for sharing your life and your family with us all.
What a lovely family you have, Shawn! This was such a touching video…seeing you all enjoying your Christmas together in the home you built, eating foods that you harvested. It looked delicious!

Shawn you worked so hard all these years and now look at your beautiful family and home. So wonderful to see.
I can't imagine the satisfaction of celebrating Christmas with your family in a cabin you built with your own hands. Our best to you and yours.
I found this video accidentally and saw two times, l am deeply impressed by your family's happiness and beautiful cabin, from Seoul south Korea.
Merry Christmas Shawn and family. And Cali was so adorable opening her gift! Enjoy!
Merry Chistmas Shawn and family.
Must be so cool knowing your dad is one of the most prepared guys in Canada, the 2007 part was an epic reminder to cherish the days! stellar Cannes level video production as usual. Merry xmas!
Well, well. I guess it should be no surprise you're here too, CP. Merry Christmas to you both!
Says the man who taught us how to be prepared. Have a great holidays, CP.
Shawn thinks for sharing your family Christmas dinner with us that was awesome

What a beautiful song and scenery, made me teary eyed.
That was very heart-warming. You have accomplished more than most of us. I'll bet that your family is proud of you. Excellent video.
I met you this year, thank you for everything my friend Shawn! You taught me a lot in this little space of time. I keep counting the days until I watch your videos and your routine, learning more and more about this natural lifestyle. It inspired me to buy my land and make my own cabin. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year.
This was wonderful. The final thing this labor of love needed was the glorious sound of family. Well well done!
The glow on your face when you have your family around you. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
What a lovely Christmas! It was so heartwarming to see Cali get a present and how diligent she was in opening it.
Your meal looked wonderful Shawn, and that pie was a great dessert. Thanks to the girls (mom included) for leaving their comfort zone to share a little of themselves. That was generous of you.
I wish the whole James family a wonderful Christmas and a very healthy New Year. Hugs and scritches to sweet Cali!
You and your family truly have a piece of paradise.
This video is like a Christmas dream for me and lots of people ! Wonderful, to see the family connection, the environment, the incredible house. The house, the woodstove burning gentle, different food items in and out of the oven there, your wife and your daughters, and not the least, Cali. To see Cali ripping her Christmas gift open... Thank you for sharing!
Seeing you with your whole family made this episode feel different. Like the best Christmas show you'll see this season.
Brought tears to my eyes 😢 But happy ones !! ❤🌲🎄☃️🧑🎄
One of his best videos with his family. Congratulations. Thanks.
A truly beautiful celebration. So nice to see all your family there at the cabin. Merry Christmas to you all .🎄🎅🎄💞🎄⛄🎄
Hearing your family, seeing the decorations, "smelling" the good food - your woodsy cabin has become a HOME. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!
What a lovely video that demonstrates the power of love in a family.
That brought a tear to this old man's eye. You have a lot to be greatful for my friend. Merry Christmas and all the best to the fam.
It's nice to see everything come together for you and your family. And Cali steals the show again,,she is just a breath of fresh air. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas season. Blessings
You have made such incredible progress throughout 2023, Shawn, and I ask for God's blessing on you and your family in the coming year. I hope you find the peace that you are looking for, and you will reach your goal of becoming one with nature. :) Fist bumps from Rockwood
God bless Rockwood, Eden Mills and area. Merry Christmas
In this time of turmoil across the globe it’s wonderful to see family together sharing the holidays and each other.
The cabin glows and the feast smells devine thank you for your hospitality in letting us enjoy your Christmas it is definitely very special.
Cali’s enjoying her new toy too 💞
Merry Christmas to you all!🎄
I hope that this Christmas brings us a gift.
That the many ungrateful sons who inhabit this planet can come to their senses.
May they finally remember their parents all year round.
And not just at Christmas.
Amen.
Sir. I can imagine (just a little) how satisfying and gratifying it must feel to have Christmas with your family at the cabin you built. To me, you are my present day Dick Proenneke.
Kudos.
Seriously is there nothing this man can’t do? He even cooks Christmas dinner 😊,
What a beautiful, precious, wonderful, caring family! It was so precious the clip of the kids small and loving each other. The dinner was amazing and the cozy home. The creatures and snow was so pretty. Thank you Shawn and family for! I will never forget the Christmas with the sleigh mobile or the one with the fireplace. You always have a beautiful Christmas and I hope you did this year as well! Jesus is the reason! Happy birthday to him!
I’m a 51 year old man and this cabin and land around it is absolutely beautiful. This is right up my alley and I would love to have something like this to share with my wife and daughters. It seriously gives me cold chills watching this. I would never need to leave this place. Well done sir🙏🏼🤙🏼
A cabin or a house is made of wood/ materials, a Home is made of family & memories. You have built both not with arrogance, but humility! Bravoooo!
How quickly our children grow up! Delicious looking dinner. Merry Christmas everyone.
The love and quality you give to each and every video continues to get more amazing . Your cinematography work is stunning. The true family time at Christmas was so perfectly captured. Thank you and your family for sharing the true meaning of the holiday season.
I never miss a video! I appreciate your candidness and willingness to share your life’s passion with us. You have created a group of people that love the outdoors even more than we did before your channel. More importantly you have demonstrated that there can be another lifestyle we can consider and accomplish. Peace to you and your family wishing you a Merry Christmas and a healthy 2024!
The dog opening the present 🎁 was impressive and heart warming. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄
How very beautiful. God bless.
There is a reason Shawn has 2.15 million subscribers. There is no better video, so well done, so beautiful, anywhere else. Thank you Shawn for inviting us into your wonderful cabin for Christmas Dinner. Best to you and your family in the New Year. Ron in Pennsylvania.
i dont like the music
Romans 9- 11. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame".
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mark 1:15 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Believe the gospel and be saved.❤😊
This is soo wonderful...the cabin...family...I got choked up! Merry Christmas! You guys have such a wonderful and encouraging channel!
All we can see you've created by yourself! How lucky you must be! And blessed from God.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Mr. James! The best part of Christmas is the aroma of dinner and enjoying it with your family. Cali stole the show opening her gift. The footage of the animals is some of your best work, in my opinion. Wishing you all prosperity and good health in the coming year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday.
