  • The first (of hopefully many) Christmas vlogs is up, even though the two main reasons why i filmed were a total flop but, let's be real it happens to all of us one time or another.
    i still attempted to do other Christmas related things, really small things i should say but, non the less festive things.

    That song is one of my all time favourite Christmas songs and always brings a tear or two to me. So beautifully done. Hugs to you and sweet Kona. Thank you Giselle!

    Hi Giselle, I admire your dedication to taking walks with Kona. Your cheeks were so rosy! Your Christmas songs reminded me of your Hutterite Song video from last year which is only songs. I played it last December every night to soothe me to sleep. Your choir group sounds so heavenly. Thanks for the mid-week vlog. Even though you were expecting to film your planned activities it goes to show you that your viewers don’t mind. Whatever you share is always delightful!

    Came across you channel and I have fell in love. I am binge watching. There is so much bad stuff in the world but when I watch your videos it all seems to disappear. A lot of people could learn a lot from you and your colony. We are all put where we are suppose to be in life but if I could change I would want to be in a colony like yours. God has put me here and I am so proud of where I am at but when I look at how all of you get a long and work together I want that in my life. It is just me and my daughter. The things of this world has took control of us and I am trying to follow God once again. I am glad you are placed for me to watch. I give all praise to God. Be blessed and be safe. Keep making videos! Hugs from Texas USA.

      welcome, welcome i'm happy to have you and it brings me so much joy that you find my videos an escape and a place to relax and feel safe, that is one of the reasons why i started making them. all we can do is try our best and give our fears, hopes, dreams and basically everything to God and he will take care of everything, He always has our best interests in mind. God bless you and merry Christmas 😊

    Giselle, You are so fortunate to live a simple life that’s set aside from the stress of the rest of our world. Always Lots of Hard work but everything taken care of with no worries about bills and money. True happiness enjoying a simple life of God, nature, family, good food, and fellowship. The songs that are sung with no instruments other than the melody of your voices is just beautiful.

    Thanks for a new vlog!
    We don't start decorating until the 17th, when we start singing the O antiphons at evening prayer. But we don't turn on the Christmas lights until vespers of Christmas Eve. After midnight mass we place Baby Jesus in the manager...we have about 30 manger/creche allover the monastery.
    Then we celebrate Christmas all week with the 1st days free...or as much as we can. We don't sing Christmas songs until Christmas day!
    Please send the snow! I miss real winters!

See, these vlogs put me out of my small things and into your small things, which turned into worship things.

    Thanks once again for a insight into your daily life and culture, it must be difficult for you and your community to have to postpone our reschedule all your Christmas events, but this is happening all over the world this Christmas. But as you said, being with family and friends is really the true meaning of Christmas. Keep your spirits up, and keep making your vlogs. Looking forward to no 84. All the best from Co Cork Ireland 🇮🇪
