Ok this video was made a while ago but I just wanted to say you seem so nice and joyful and you seem like you make everyone's day and watching this just makes me so excited to go this year like really excited
What a fantastic video!!! Felt like I was right there also. You have alot of talent. What a nice video to watch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee! I am relaxed and happy now. Look forward to seeing more! Oh, and did I mention I am a candle addict too? ♥♥
Creative Curiosity is one way to think about Enthusiasm. From the middle of the SW storm. Rain here and watching snow frosting the Catalinas up higher. Santa sent new, lower gears for bicycle, via a friend of 47 years. Now the Loop through Saguaro NP will be much easier. Thanks for the smells of Santa's Village!
Sounds beautiful. And enjoy those new gears (I have to get my bike back in working order one of these days). Thanks for watching and I hope you're having a wonder holiday season!
Thank you for sharing this comment. My absolute pleasure. Be sure to check out my other Santa’s Village videos. Also, I have a brand new 2020 season video coming out within the next week (filmed right before Halloween). Thanks again and happy holidays!
Thank you for this inspired video Shane. 🤗 I'ts a pleasure to watch your enthusiasm. 😊 It brings me the christmas vibes back. Kind regards from Berlin. 💙🙋🏼
Thanks so much Tim! It's a bit of a drive, but it's well worth the trip. I can almost guarantee it's a memory that the family won't forget. If you're ever up in that area, drop me a line... There's great choices in regards to beautiful (and affordable) lodging and other attractions in the surrounding area. Hope you are all enjoying your holiday season. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the outing to Santa's Village , Jefferson, NH!!! We like to see all the snow from a distance, a long distance. Actually, we miss the snow sometimes. Sure hope you keep up the tradition Bill
Yeah, what's up with that?! I noticed that during editing. I don't recall using beard oil that day, but that's what it looks like 😂. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching, Jennifer!
What a fun tour! Love to be in amusement parks after dark. It overwhelms the senses, and the lights and smells just seem to affect you differently. Merry Christmas, Shane!💝🎄🎅
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes, this park especially... after dark it takes on a completely feel. It's almost impossible not to smile. Almost like walking into a fairy tale. A very Merry Christmas to you as well. Thanks for your continual support and for watching!
Outstanding job on this video! I truly hope the folks that run the Village see this and give you a free pass for next year. Every facet of the park was highlighted in such a beautiful way. I would love to go there and experience all the holiday fun for myself , and indulge in the treats!!! And of course your touch of humor here and there makes it even more enjoyable! Merry Christmas to you and your family, especially Elsa 🎄❤️
Thanks so much, Stephanie! Yes, the folks at Santa's Village take good care of me whenever I visit. I may make a trip up this Spring or Summer 😁. The family had a wonder Christmas... and Elsa received plenty of treats. Again, thanks so much for the kind words and your ongoing support. Much love! 🎄
Another great video!! This is amazing! Did you interview Jim Miller yourself? That’s so cool! Santa’s village is awesome! I really want you to check out Storyland In Glen NH! It’s only about an hour from Santa’s Village. Hope to see more soon!
Such an amazingly beautiful and fun place! They truly do an amazing job at bringing the holiday to life. Every time you visit and share your experiences with us at Santa’s Village-it always puts a smile on my face. So glad to see you back out on your adventures Shane, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2020!! I hope you and your family had a beautiful Christmas 🎄
Chris, that's great! I never heard that before. I'll have to get my hands on some. Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching. Best of everything!
This was Christmas magic Shane ! You manage to highlight a different perspective everytime you go to Santa's Village. The Jingle Bell Junction was perfection ! I've decided that I need to take my nieces and nephews to Santa's Village someday. I know it'll be something we'll remember forever !
I feel like I have received a Christmas gift in watching this, a true aromatic adventure right down to those mouthwatering donuts and the crisp, cold forest air. Thank you Shane! 🎄
oh my god this is a huge nostalgia trip for me... i went to this place every year as a kid in the early and mid 2000s. looking back at it i really love the themeing, it has that retro christmas aesthetic feel to it which i absolutely love. also the cast members here seem super super nice and they really seem to like working there. it actually made me really happy to see this video.
I’ve been here 2 times (one all day) and about 9 months later I’m watching this XD I loved this so much and it DEFINITELY gave me a nice warm feeling in my heart. I love Christmas!
I imagine you playing the sax in the intro....Did you get a new Jeep?...Hi Santa!..You need a baby back pack and carry Santa around with you on these adventures...lol..You are so funny...I was laughing so hard as you were trying to record at the same time you were riding a reindeer and riding the penguin.....What a fun place.I love you take us here......the look on your face when the guy was describing the ride...you captured the childlike wonder to perfection...lol..Ohhh...I like your advice about waking up and being spontaneous and living enthusiastically....I have fallen into a rut and lost that spark...this may be my New Years focus....I would imagine Christmas may have been tough this year but I hope you found some joy and wishing you a Happy New Year.
Funny because I requested to play the sax in elementary school (I thought it was the coolest), but it never panned out. I thought it would have been hilarious to have Santa stuffed in my backpack with his head sticking out, but the Santa's Village guests thought I was crazy enough 😂. Speaking of which, I'll have to make the Retro Santa t-shirt for next year. Because I was busy with several other projects, I don't feel right promoting mercy this Christmas season. Thanks so much for watching, Ann! This is truly always one of my favorite annual videos to make. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!
@@TheCandleEnthusiast I am glad you still do the videos even with the crazy looks....I enjoy every minute.....I was even wearing my Christmas sweatshirt...lol.....I figured you were swamped with working on the video and other things to add Santa to the line up this year....Now I have something to look forward to next year....I would also like to get a non seasonal sweatshirt if you can come up with a logo and have time to put it up....Blessing in the New Year...Looking forward to see what you have in store for us.
Let's make it happen! There's always plenty of lodging available at the Mount Jefferson View (very friendly family owned cabins only a few miles away from the park).
It’s highlighted in my tour video from the year before. Check in the description for the link. The video title is “Welcome to Santa’s Village”.... Thanks!! 👍

I can't wait for this year's video, the workshop crew and I really enjoyed your visit today! Hope you enjoy your humbug.
Twinkling lights are my favorite type of Christmas lights as well. There is just something about that style, I always have twinklers on my tree.
I feel the same way. Thanks for watching! 😁

Great, just great....oh to be a child again.....
We're never too old to be young 😉. Thanks!
I grew up going to Santa's Village annually. I have since moved away and haven't gone in 4 or 5 years. Thank you for this trip down memory lane!
Thank you for sharing this comment. My absolute pleasure. Be sure to check out my other Santa’s Village videos. Also, I have a brand new 2020 season video coming out within the next week (filmed right before Halloween). Thanks again and happy holidays!
@@TheCandleEnthusiast Will do! I'll keep an eye out for the new one! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!

Thanks so much! I'm so glad that my video could bring you some Christmas joy. Thank you for your support and for watching! Happy New Year!!
Beautifully done Shane! Will have to take the kids there one year

I just watched this at the gym and it was so joyous that I forgot I was working out! Loved it, Shane!
Merry Christmas everyone! Love this video, looks like so much fun!! 💚❤️
Always tons of fun! Thanks so much for watching and a very Merry Christmas to you as well !
Thanks for the outing to Santa's Village , Jefferson, NH!!!
We like to see all the snow from a distance, a long distance.
Actually, we miss the snow sometimes.
Sure hope you keep up the tradition
Bill
Bill, yes this is a tradition I plan to carry for as long as I can. To mix things up, I may head up to Santa's Village this Spring or Summer.
June 25th seems like a good day for a visit to the Village. We will need a booster of Christmas Cheer by then, if you can last until then.
Growing up, I always wanted to go here around Christmas, looks like so much fun!
Your beard was glistening while you were eating the fudge. I think it was magic. Merry Christmas! Such a sweet video. ❤️
Yeah, what's up with that?! I noticed that during editing. I don't recall using beard oil that day, but that's what it looks like 😂. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching, Jennifer!
I think a humbug is a bug that hums 😂
Adeline P 😂

Shane a humbug is a type of peppermint sweet. Very popular here in the UK! All the best to you and your family dude
Chris, that's great! I never heard that before. I'll have to get my hands on some. Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching. Best of everything!
This was Christmas magic Shane !
You manage to highlight a different perspective everytime you go to Santa's Village. The Jingle Bell Junction was perfection !
I've decided that I need to take my nieces and nephews to Santa's Village someday. I know it'll be something we'll remember forever !

Thanks so much, Renee! That truly means a lot. I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! My very best!
The merriest of Christmases and a blessed New Year to you, Shane!!! 🎄❤️🤗
Thank you dearly! The family and I are spending some good ol' fashioned holiday time together. Happy New Years to you as well! Thanks for watching!
