    Makes me happy to know that your brother has given that kitten a better life full of love

    The way your brother acts around the pets you already have makes it clear he is destined to be a pet-dad. And he will be perfect with the kitten. I still can't get over the "man-cat cave" he made for Calcifer including the little pool table etc. That kitten hit the jackpot.

    It's 4 am in India. I was mindlessly scrolling through UA-cam as I was having trouble sleeping. But the moment I saw your video.. oh boy the relief I felt. For a person who loves snow and winters, Emma you have no idea how much warmth and comfort you bring to us.

    I'm having a bit of a tough time in my final year of school here in australia and i just wanted to say that i've been watching your channel for about 3 years now and your videos always make me feel so at peace and cozy. i just wanted to tell you that because youve been opening up about the tough time that youve been having and i wanted you to know that this community really loves what youve built with this channel. sorry if that was a bit rambly, but yeah. ❤❤❤ ☺️☺️

    This is the sort of thing that makes me want to move to Canada. You can just retreat to the top of the world where it's silent, and beautiful, and you can see deer tracks in your own footprints in the snow.

    I'm originally from Minnesota but have been living in the southwest US desert for most of my life, so I need you to know that your snow clips instill such a sense of peace and nostalgia in me and I really appreciate it. I miss the snow so much and haven't seen it since 2019, but I'm able to live vicariously through your videos! Also, I'm about 30% into the Count of Monte Cristo and I'm LOVING the drama. Thank you for making me pick it up!

  • @MotherofMax-he6mj

    Re: Monte Cristo... OMG! I have to say my favorite book EVER! I'm like half way through. This book is just wonderful through out the whole story, but while Edmond was in prison right before he meets Fabri and he has just basically given up all hope. I felt that. I could even smell and feel the prison. I also felt it HARD upon his first meeting of Abbe Fabri. There was a line in the book that says something like "two sighs together are like prayers, and prayers coming from two hearts are almost acts of grace..." WOW, just wow. I instantly wrote that on my bedroom wall. So beautiful, just like the rest of this book.

    Your videos make me feel so warm and happy! I'm from Brazil, snow is definitely something we don't see over here hahaha it looks like a dream, oh god! I had the chance to see the snow twice in my life and I never forgot about it, I dream about having this kind of winter days, reading and watching the snow fall, maybe one day! But I can live this dream through your videos and this makes me so cozy! You're such a lovely person, you have this kind of light and I'm happy to see you getting better

    Having more than one cat is a cult. You can't go back to 1.

    I love Like Water For Chocolate (and the film is pretty good too). I tried a couple of the recipes when I first read it back in the early 1990’s. The meals that Tita creates are so imbued with the emotions that she is experiencing while creating them that the people who then eat them experience the same thing.

    I've seen that much snow only once in my life when I stayed in a small french city. I remember the cycle lane was completely frozen and that's also when I found out that stepping on snow makes krrr noises 😂

    I think "If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller" is going to be a very interesting read. I'm personally a big fan of Calvino's "Invisible Cities".
