I'm from the southern US and well traveled, but the Christmas Market in Mannheim Germany was truly the most beautiful Christmas I've ever experienced. Maroni, warm mulled wine, wurst & oh the chocolate. I can still smell & taste it. Such a beautiful & festive time and season.
We would appreciate it Deeply if anyone could pray us our 12 year old daughter Candice living with chronic congested heart failure passed away peacefully in her sleep may 30 2022 we are all devastated please pray for peace and comfort with God's love conquers all amen we lost our first daughter 15 years old Angel passed away peacefully in her sleep in 2018 she had Ms this is very hard we are grateful to God for two wonderful daughters and we will be Altogether again praise God praying for Everyone everyday God bless you all
I feel very sad for your loss, and as time helps with the healing it never makes it any easier, the good news is this world is ready to meet our Saviour and will becoming soon
Looks good fun there GIV and really lovely Christmas lights and enormous Christmas.trees.Like everywhere this time of year packed with people that's what I don't like .Great Video as always.
MY NEW FAV video, of yours, and I have enjoyed all of them since I first found you accidentally over a yr ago on here now! Thanks for showing us this splendid and magical scene! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for enduring all you did to bring us this video, especially considering how close you came to not going through with it. We all appreciate you showing us Christmas in Venice, maybe people will see we arent all wackos in California, and our problem riddled state is a very beautiful place to live.
Thank you Mike for videoing the festivities! I’m like you, I’d sit and just watch the people going by..you see all kinds of “life” right before your eyes.
That tree has ornaments installed on it so it looks good even without its lights on. More like the tree at Disneyland. The tree at Rockefeller Ctr, in comparison, is just plain lights. However, decorations along & above various major streets of London, UK set the standard. That was true decades ago, back when the Grove was mainly surface parking lots & a drive-in theater next to the Farmer's Market
Thanks for cracking me up Mike, the intro with you talking to rudolph and the other suffocating plastic reindeer was so funny. Your commentary about the people, and the places you film is great, you do such a good job going between serious, and funny. My knee is still kicking my behind from having that botched up surgery on the 25th. When you have to take care of everything yourself, whether you can walk or not, it gets frustrating. I just laughed again hearing you talking to that husky, you don't forget to give the furry critters some air time. Thanks for not ditching the video GIV, because you always show us stuff we'd never see. I hate the snow, but that's only because i live in Michigan, closer to the kind of weather Kevin from home alone had in New York lol. Much love and hugs to you and your mom, hope she can visit soon, miss her smile. G-d bless.
You have never seen it, we have never seen it... Great you are filming Mike. Danke very sehr. Sehr ja, gut ja. Nein nein ja. WOW. Danke man, viele Grüße Mike. Bist einer der besten!!
Sheesh! My kicks as a kid in the 60's was to go see Santa with his live reindeer caged up at a display at Manchester and Falmouth near PDR . They even had glitter on their antlers. Way before those PETA folks. btw can I have a GIV sticker😁
One of my worst nightmares. To go to something like this! Way way way too crowded. Way way way too many people. Would go nuts. Claustrophobic! Not worth it. No way. 😣😫🤨
Visited the Grove last year when I was in LA from Australia. Such a well layed out shopping mall. I was lucky enough to catch the Christmas lights as well last year as I visited at Christmas 2023. Love watching your adventures GIV. Another cool video.
Danke Mike ❤🎄🙏🏻 Ich gehe in Deutschland auf ganz kleine Weihnachtsmärkte , mit meinen Kindern. Weil wir in Deutschland Angst haben, vor zu vielen Menschen. Wir haben zu viel negatives Erlebt. Aber ich freue mich diese schönen Bilder zu sehen . Danke das ich so viel Neues sehen darf , durch deine Videos 👍😎 Und allen Menschen eine schöne Weihnachtszeit und ganz viel Wärme und Liebe ✨🎄✨🕊️✨❤️
You are dude after my own heart. Love to people watch, but can’t stand crowds. Thank for putting this up really cool. I will never go to LA but I feel like I have been there watching your content. Just have know desire to even go to California.
Wow, Im laying down on the couch where I live in Nor Cal watching this video, and that was the most incredible footage of the fireworks it felt like I was there, it made my night, Thank you for a qreat video!
I get why, if you're not in the mood you would want to leave, especially with that crowd! I'm really glad you stayed with it though because it was amazing and the fireworks were fantastic! It's amazing how all the little lights are wrapped around the tree trunks SO perfect on every tree and the ornaments are hung on the big tree so perfectly, and where did this tree come from? Everything was beautiful, but I do the same at these places is move around when it doesn't look bad then find a good spot with a coffee or something and I sit and people watch for a long time. Thanks! I loved watching and the fireworks and the music used was perfect, very happy and festive. Felt real Christmassy!🎄🎄🎄
Ahhhhh soooo beautiful!!! Thank you for filming it!!! Not quite in the Xmas spirit yet but again very nice to see everyone so happy--and to allĺĺ a good night!!! HO HO HO HO🧑🎄🧑🎄🤶🤶🎅🎅
I went to the tree lighting ceremony at Union Station, but wanted to go to this one as well. Unfortunately, they were both taking place at the same exact time, so I didn't go here. This will do for me, though! Thanks for sharing this event with us, GiV!
My favorite thing to do at the Grove is post up on the balcony of Nordstroms, eat some yummy food and people watch! Thanks for another great video! Also it was good meeting you at Universal on Saturday, it’s me Christina 😊
Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 Mike be safe for this evening of the Christmas light up festival. That was fake snow for California u may have to go to the north of California to get real snow ❄️ lol thanks for sharing this. It looks crazy on video with all the crowds, WooooW.😮
L.A. knows how to party and of course the GiV is part of the action: Mike, txs for sharing all the insides. IMHO you yourself would be a perfect Santa. But unfortunately, my daughter has cast off the veil of ignorance this year and is increasingly entering the world behind the magic; let us adults at least enjoy these special moments like children. Mike, you got talent! cheers.
Did a great drive through light show in Williston ND 0°. Now I have to get up and drive to Great Falls Montana, my home 7 generations. You are always warm.
That’s what I love about LA everything is like Disneyland! Even Christmas. I live in VA and we have the real snow and it’s 40 Fahrenheit during the day and 25 at night. its so cold and I would rather have fake snow in the warmth then real snow at 25 Fahrenheit. That’s the German in me…… do not like cold LOL. Good job filming this Mike. Love your Chanel.
Thank you GIV for showing us. Love your videos. Watching from New Jersey!! Always watch all your videos. Tell Mom I said hi!!! Enjoy yourself and stay safe!!
Hey Mike, we're coming down there on the 17th! Hope the crowds are not as bad. Thanks for sharing your experience! Our first visits to the Grove were inspired by your earlier videos and we did indeed have a good time. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video Mike and I will say it’s better for me to watch the video instead of of going to one of these, I can’t handle that many people and I’ll end up having to a mental breakdown so I thank you for letting me me watch your videos!! Those hay stacks no we’re should cost $42.00 a pound it cost maybe $6.00 to make a dozen of those if that that is a big rip off if they charge that!!!! No one down there can drive in snow that’s why they don’t go to the snow so they like the fake snow
Thank you, Mike! That crowd is huge, I wouldn't actually like being in it for a long time, but watching you make this is much better. You did the best you could, Mike. Merry Christmas! Do a Christmas video again in Beverly Hills soon.
Thanks for showing us a festive event. I don't do these things in person anymore because I don't trust crowds. 🥺
How to define the GiV: a heart of gold in a man of gold. We love you bro!!!
I'm from the southern US and well traveled, but the Christmas Market in Mannheim Germany was truly the most beautiful Christmas I've ever experienced. Maroni, warm mulled wine, wurst & oh the chocolate. I can still smell & taste it. Such a beautiful & festive time and season.
BEAUTIFUL! But too many people! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR MUM😊🎉❤
We would appreciate it Deeply if anyone could pray us our 12 year old daughter Candice living with chronic congested heart failure passed away peacefully in her sleep may 30 2022 we are all devastated please pray for peace and comfort with God's love conquers all amen we lost our first daughter 15 years old Angel passed away peacefully in her sleep in 2018 she had Ms this is very hard we are grateful to God for two wonderful daughters and we will be Altogether again praise God praying for Everyone everyday God bless you all

🙏😔🌹🌹
I just did a screenshot of your message. Putting you on the daily list. I’m sorry for your losses. You will see them. 😢
This has to be the most commercial Christmas function I've ever seen
As someone who is very claustrophobic thanks for doing the hard work for me. Beautiful lights and decorations but I couldn't handle that many people
@@Lemopalm Agreed!
Hey Mike thanks for sticking it out and finishing the video for us brother. This place looks magical!
You just get how to make good content!
I love seeing all the people enjoying Christmas! Together!
Wow, it's like a different country.
I like skateboarding, punk rock music, and Venice the Woo!
Looks good fun there GIV and really lovely Christmas lights and enormous Christmas.trees.Like everywhere this time of year packed with people that's what I don't like .Great Video as always.
Beautiful fun GIV. great to see all of the people there enjoying themselves
So many people
Well done everyone. Especially GIV
I love the holidays 😅
I'm glad you went back to film the tree. It looked so good.
Again, thank you so much Mr GiV for bringing us along to places we would never otherwise see. Take care and merry Christmas to you and your mom. 🤘🤘🤘
MY NEW FAV video, of yours, and I have enjoyed all of them since I first found you accidentally over a yr ago on here now! Thanks for showing us this splendid and magical scene! Merry Christmas!

I remember the Grove being crowded from Thanksgiving to Christmas. The Grove does a great job decorating.
Thanks for taking us with you. I enjoyed it! 🎄
Thank you 👍🙂

Thanks GIV ❤🎉😊
What a great video! I loved it. I started crying a bit when the guy was tossing his little boy in the air! So touching!!
Let your light 🕯️ shine praise God praying for Everyone everyday God bless you all. .
Thank you Mike for videoing the festivities! I’m like you, I’d sit and just watch the people going by..you see all kinds of “life” right before your eyes.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Yeah my first tree lighting and festivities with the GIV . A wonderful time of the year ! 😊❤ give it to them GIV . How exciting 🎄🎅
Come on GiV you're not overweight.. you're festively plump. 😂 Thanks for the video it was awesome 👍

Hi Mike 🤚 The Grove at the Christmas season 🎄🎆⛄❄️ looked amazing.Thanks! for all the hard work, bringing this video to us all.Ho!Ho!Ho!🧑🎄
I remember the old Farmer's Market before they built all the new buildings. Thanks for taking us along to see the tree and all the people🎄🎅🥗😉
Born, raised and educated K thru college in southern California and I've never been to the Grove. Thanks for showing me around. 👍

Early merry Christmas to you and your mom from yes we have snow and 20 degrees here in Anchorage Alaska. 😊😊😊😊
Don’t know if they still have it but the one in Wrightwood, CA was awesome 20 yrs ago…there is real snow and the feeling of Christmas is genuine.
I love watching your videos! Have a very merry Christmas and a spectacular new year 2:41 To you and your family!

Many thanks to all the hard working people who make all of this so beautiful for the rest of us to enjoy 🎄

Glad you’re calling it ‘Christmas’ GIV!

Did a great drive through light show in Williston ND 0°. Now I have to get up and drive to Great Falls Montana, my home 7 generations.
You are always warm.
TRAFFIC WAS CRAZY THAT DAY. THE CITY CAME OUT TO SEE THE TREE LIGHTING.
That’s what I love about LA everything is like Disneyland! Even Christmas. I live in VA and we have the real snow and it’s 40 Fahrenheit during the day and 25 at night. its so cold and I would rather have fake snow in the warmth then real snow at 25 Fahrenheit. That’s the German in me…… do not like cold LOL. Good job filming this Mike. Love your Chanel.
Another great video, Mike ! Frohe Weihnachten ! (Not sure if this is correct spelling.)
Thank you GIV for showing us. Love your videos. Watching from New Jersey!! Always watch all your videos. Tell Mom I said hi!!! Enjoy yourself and stay safe!!
This mood in here is everything!
i remember real christmas in snowy Europe in 80s.
Thanks for the video GIV. The Grove has changed so much since I’ve been here. Seen you in the Hollywood Parade too ❤
Love the Christmas Village in Germany.
DANKE.
Loved your last video riding on the Goodyear nice to float.

Thank you, Mike! That crowd is huge, I wouldn't actually like being in it for a long time, but watching you make this is much better. You did the best you could, Mike.
Merry Christmas! Do a Christmas video again in Beverly Hills soon.
I would be having a panic attack in a crowd like that. You're a better man than I, Mike.
You don't like crowds? You we're at that crazy Halloween event.
Thanks Mike. Really enjoyed this video of the Grove at Christmas.
Groove at the Grove...🤣🤣❤
