This was just such fun to watch... it’s so amazing that my imagination soars now seeing the vastness that is the world we are all apart of. Thank you so much for letting us as your viewers glimpse in this experience.. Fabulous filming and uplifting commentary..
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😍😍
@@CeciliaBlomdahl much appreciation, first time pinned. ✨
@@norinefitzgerald5259 It is great, that Cecilia is communicating with us, despite the hundreds of comments after each episode. What a lovely couple they are.
@@GiladGur , I quite agree and to you as well. This inspires what kind of future travel experience I now look forward too, well done always around.
Beautifully stated!
I just love how no matter how cold, or how dark, or how windy - there are always people WALKING outside.
hahah yup!
Right, there's no wimping out on Svalbard! ✌😂
Cecilia mentioned in this vlog, that bad weather doesn't prevent from Svalbardians to go outside. Really hardy people I think.
Why wouldn’t they. If they waited for a summers day they’d never go out or get food?
People walk quite a lot in the normal world.
You shoot some of the best videos, Cecilia. It really does feel like we are visiting to hang out with you. Thanks for inviting us!
I am so so glad you like them! 🙏🏻😊
Before reading yours, I had just commented almost the same. The quality is one of the kind.
That shot of the moon over the waves and the door lit up was fantastic.
Totally.
Indeed. That's something you only read in books
You noticed that too! That was such a beautiful site.
No words, how beautiful
Yess the same. So beautiful.
I love this so much. I would love to try Christoffer's cooking. It always looks so amazing. You are just an absolute joy, and it always feels like we're friends just hanging out. Grim is the cutest little fluff. Give him some love for me!
Awww I love that! 😍🧡 Grim says hiii!
@@CeciliaBlomdahl HI, GRIM!! Sweetest little puppy 💙💙🤣🤣
You are right. Christofer actually is a skilled cook, and has worked as one in the past. I'd also love to taste one of his dishes
Grim is sweet. Whenever possible, we would leave him inside the car because its warmer for him.
At the beginning when I first started watching I thought, I would be so depressed in the dark…but the more I watch it becomes so magical.
You said so much with that one statement " You don't let a little thing like a snowstorm stop you from going about your daily life ".
Thank you for letting us be a part of your day to day life.
You have made a lonely old Scottish woman happy today ;) thank you Cecilia , memento mori
Robert Burns.
absolutely love that version of Auld Lang Syne. Works perfectly as the backdrop for Longyearbyen.
I agree! 😍
Who sings this version of Auld Lang Syne, it's beautiful ❤
Cecilia, when I see that you’ve posted a new video, it makes me so happy. Your channel has been so uplifting and has helped carry me through a difficult time in my life. I am positively enthralled with Longyearbeyen, and we hope to visit the island in the coming years. Thank you for everything that you do.
Aw thank youuu!! All the love! 🧡
I’ve been watching you for awhile , I’m 78 formerly from NY now in KY USA, oh to turn back time and be as adventurous and care free to enjoy the wonder you see and do. How to you keep your skin and lips from the cold and wind. I’m in awe , live your life to the fullest and thank you for sharing the beauty.
This is exactly what I wanted to know ..where the locals go to eat …perfect video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad you liked it! 😍
"Christopher, are you ready for a sleepover with the ladies?"
"Ohhh yes!"
LOL 🤣
😂😂
🤣🤣
Magic. Snow drifts, Grim, Northern Lights, fires, candles, warm friendships, beautiful food, laughter, and love. How do you do it? All in one video. I want to live in Svalbard now, but alas, not possible. So, I'll just have to live there through you, Christoffer, and Grim. And that will have to do. You are such a gifted creative filmmaker. Thank you so much.
The song “Auld Lang Syne” played during the video is a remake of a traditional Scottish song that is played at every single school disco, birthday & wedding. Everyone crosses over their hands & joins up in a circle, then at the end, the circle all run in & out & try to keep hands joined! It’s so fun. Such a nice thing to hear in your videos as it’s a huge part of Scottish culture. You could search up the traditional Scottish version of the song & any videos if you’re interested.
Ps - love your videos so so much. They keep me so interested! I love your calm & relaxed personality & you’re great with the shots. Oh, & Grim. I love him so much! ❤️
I exclaimed out loud when I saw the shot of the moon over the moon path. That is one of my most favorite sights, and one of the prettiest pictures nature can give us. Thank you for that gift, Cecilia. Hello to Christoffer and of course to Lynn as well. Love and snuggles to Grim!
Grim’s flashing collar is a hoot! 👍🏽😁🐕
Every video you post makes me want to visit Svalbard more and more! Hopefully one day I can visit and see the Nothern Lights! ✨💕
Yaaay! 😍
Cecilia!!! Oh my, you are adored far and wide, including here in Northwest Washington State. We love to gather around the fireplace and watch your beautiful videos...so darn fun. Our pup Charlotte loves watching Grimmy, and he's a great role model since he's always smiling. My wife loves your fashion sense,, in a big way.. She'd also like me to be more chill like Christoffer, lol.. I'm trying! I had to laugh when you were demonstrating your new Google assistant by asking it to play some music. MY Google assistant was listening, and said "Sure..." . You are definitely filling a huge void in the hearts and minds of a lot of nice people around the world. Many, many thanks. Cecilia for President of the World! ...or at least global morning coffee hangout director! Love you, kid!
Whenever i feel depressed i watch your videos Cecilia and it makes me feeel so good thank you for showing us the beauty of nature
🧡🧡
Just loved Grim's greeting for Lynn! Such a sweet pup!
Grim was so cute, booping himself in the mirror. 🐕🐶 🥰😍
🤣😍
The song auld land syne originates in my country, so excited that you've used a version in your video 💙🏴
I love seeing the town and all the activities. The decorations are beautiful. As a cold weather person, Longyearbyen looks like the happiest place on earth. Thanks so much for this video and inviting us on your walks and into your cozy home.
Christopher wiped his feet before going inside. YOU NEED TO KEEP HIM!!! Thanks for the video.
Having only just recently come across your channel, you, Christoffer & Grim represent a true breath of fresh air. So calming, motivating, and inspiring; beautifully mended together. Thank you for letting us into the captivating experience you all have created in Svalbard. ❤️
I have to imagine the only way to get through such dark and cold days is with fellowship.
Another great video. It’s so nice to see such a small community where everyone gets along. Depending on each other is important in such a harsh environment
I love Grim's collar collection. I must get one of those light up ones for road walks 👌
I wish upon a falling star I could just pop into your cabin and experience the polar nights with you, Christopher, and Grim
I love the music choices, AWESOME!!! Say hi to Grim and Christopher! I love watching you guys from Canada :)
I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin U.S. and I love our winter weather so I totally related when you said we don’t let a little storm get in our way. It’s so beautiful in your town! Love your videos, helps me learn about different cultures and customs I might not ever had been able to learn about!
🧡🧡🧡
Hello. Fellow Wisconsinite. I'm learning to appreciate the weather more after watching Cecilia's videos.
We sing that song on New Years at 12:00 midnight . How lovely to hear it with the Christmas lights and the snow it warmed my heart. 🎄❄️ 🇳🇴 🇬🇧✨Thank you for sharing 🤓
This video was the perfect pair to my morning coffee. Thank you for sharing your world with us Cecilia! It’s always so magical! Much love to you, Grim and Christoffer! 🧡
Thank you for watching! 😊😊
I absolutely love your outlook on life and how you stay so positive despite the weather and darkness!! Thank u so much for being an inspiration 😊
🧡🧡🧡🧡
I look forward to each video. Thank you I love them so much! I am watching from Calgary, Alberta Canada.
Awesome! Thank you! 🧡
I think I have commented this in the past, but I must write it down again. The qualiity of your filming is just ameasing. I have a very good large tv, and I can enjoy every pixel of your beautiful 4K filming. It makes the vlogs so realistic, so that I feel like I'm there with you.
My morning just got a whole lot better ☕️❄️ it’s finally start snowing here in upstate NY. Hello Grim bear!!! 🐶 you are soooooooo beautiful 🤩😌😍🥰
Good morning and YAAY! SNOW! 😍
@@CeciliaBlomdahl ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
I'm in Tucson Arizona and it doesn't snow at all I'm from Michigan and I miss the snow it only snows on the very top of the mountains
Thank you Cecilia! Watching while we have snow falling here finally. Always great filming and editing. Grim admiring himself in the mirror was so cute!
I love the Grim one's flashing collar! Awesome! Must be nice to have a real chief in the house! How about featuring Christoffer's cooking a bit more often? Nice video Cecilia! Merry Christmas! Cheers from Texas! (80F here today)
As ever, I loved this 💗 I would have bought ALL the socks! 🤣 x
😂😍
How lucky you are to experience living in Skalvard. Despite the cold, everything still looks cozy. So fun to have a sleepover! I almost didn't recognize Christoffer without his hat!
I love Grim's sparkling illuminating collar. 💛💛
When is Christoffer dropping more cooking videos?! That spread looked incredible!
Very soon! 😍
Yea for Christoffer’s cooking👍❣️
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you guys are having lunch on a very dark day, lol, must have time to get used to this feeling
Cecilia, thank you so much for sharing your daily life Svalbard, it is great to have a perspective other than the sunny Florida I live in now. Please be safe. God bless
When Christopher was asked if he was looking forward to the women's sleepover he sounded a bit dubious! 😂
You guys amaze me……ya know Cel……your weather is dreary (beautiful but dark cold wintery) and can be depressing for most. I have no idea how you can stay so “UP” at all times. It says a lot about you and a great deal about your significant other. Thank you so much for doing this (videoing) for the rest of us. I wish you all the best.
This was so beautiful and relaxing to watch, what a fantastic life you all have on that beautiful island, the meals looked so exquisite.
Kind regards from Scotland.
What a perfect place and environment to celebrate Christmas! Thank you for blessing us !
When the snow crunches like that it's cold.
Your home is lovely.
Thanks for the video.
Hey Cecilia,chris and Grim, like the shot of the moon reflecting on the water, the town looks nice, I wanted to know if there horses on Svalbard, found out there were 4 horses, great video, happy holidays. 🎄 ☃
This version of Auld Lang Syne from Loving Caliber is the best
Your village is what I would imagine Whoville would look like in real life!✨🥰 thank you for sharing yet another amazing video!
Cecilia, your videos are visually stunning and they give me the coziest feelings. Thank you and keep them coming.
Thank you so much! 🧡⭐️
I love your communities enthusiasm for this time of year and svalbard looks like its getting bigger. Love it 😀
Wow! Such a wonderful day! And in freezing cold too! lol. Those pizzas looked fabulous!
We appreciate you and all you share from your life and amazing Svalbard. Happy Holidays!
Cecilia your videos make me feel like I’m really hanging out at your cozy cabin. Each time I get an alert that you’ve uploaded a new video I get so excited. Your videos are so beautiful and calming and are really helping me get through some tough things lately. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Thanks for letting us hang out with you guys. lt was great to see the decorated village. Christoffer's cooking always looks amazing and makes me hungry lol I love that people there don't let the harsh weather deter them from enjoying the outdoors. Hi Grim - you're always adorable 😘
I think this is the most people I've ever seen in longyearbyen...ever!
And now that I got my dose of Grimm, I feel much better now.. Thank you❤
I am absolutely mesmerized by you yourr vlogs, grim and Christopher! So much fun to watch and it's just beautiful! Thanks so much for this. Please keep doing this, it's therapeutic also!
Watching this feels like I am there, filled with the infectious happiness you share. I love this life !
Another beautiful video filled with so much love and joy that you share with us. Thank you, Cecilia, Christoffer, and Grim for continuing to share your lives with us.
You are so welcome! 🧡🧡🧡
The level of coziness in this video is unmatched! I love it!
I love your videos. Perfect narration and well edited.
🥰🥰🥰 I love this video so much. It’s always amazing to me how normal your town is, and that people live and work there, and how beautiful and cozy your house is, and that you take walks in snowstorms, and that you have your own personal chef! What a life! I love you Grim 🐕❤️
Cecilia, it is so enjoyable to watch these videos. The way you open your life to folks like us is amazing to see. People (like myself) are, well, hermits and I can't imagine inviting people into my man cave. I'd be so afraid they wouldn't like it, but you open up to the world in such a friendly and open manner. Christoffer is such a lucky man. Thanks for making our days more enjoyable.
Love waking up to your videos. They are so cozy, and it just started snowing outside here where I am for the first time this year! What a beautiful spread Christopher made you all. Have a great day! Cheers, from Victoria BC, Canada❤️
As usual Cecilia - you have just done such an amazing job of transporting us to Svalbard. Ooh - and that shot of the moon over the water - I was just speechless. You are so talented.
Cecilia your are just the Sweetest person and what a good friend you are to everyone you know. I love your view on life and makes me wish I were one of your friends☺️ you have the most precious heart!! That Grim is just soooo adorable❤️ makes me want to hug his fluffiness to bits 🐶😍
Thank you for sharing your beautiful life and family with us! It makes me feel so cozy and happy to experience Svalbard with you!!!
This was a fun video! Loved the decorations in town! Your cabin is so warm and cozy! Thanks so much for sharing, Cecilia!
I fall more and more in love with Svalbard with each video you post.
Christoffer's dinner looked yummy! Another fun video. Thanks.
I love it when Christoffer cooks!
Honestly Cecilia, you really do show us how nice it is there - even the darkness and cold are no longer unpleasant but you turn them into a positive! Thank you for sharing such happy times
What a fun & cozy sleepover! ❄️✨
Noooooo you fell!! Are you ok? Beautiful Svalbard, the Christmas market looked fantastic, so many gorgeous,handmade products. The appreciation you have for your surroundings, and your enthusiasm lifts my spirits, good things happening to great people. Lovely to see you having a girlie sleepover, so nice of Chris to prepare food, Grim being the star of the Arctic 💖💖💖💖
Oh wow Cecilia, it just looks so magical and nice. Love how cozy your cabin is, I would just snuggle and never leave.
This is absolutely the perfect home! Worth every penny for the add on. That view is priceless!!!! 💗🐕💗🐕💗🐕💗
The flat bread looks good. Grim is a lucky dog. He gets to go on many adventures with you both. I bet the views of the Northern lights were amazing.
I believe that you (Cecilia) are the happiest and friendliest person on earth!
Love your videos, always giving a good vibe. Thank you for sharing!
The video is beautiful.. As always your choice of music is amazing.. Thank you Cecilia
That golden moon and shimmering water was so serene and breathtakingly beautiful!
such cozy vibes! I love all your polar nights content!
This was fun seeing the restaurant, hearing its history. Love hearing and seeing what the town does for the holidays. I want to come eat at your house!!
The sharp contrast of the white snow and the outside with no sunlight and the artificial lights peeking through is charming. It reminds me of the paintings of Thomas Kinkade.
such a cozy feeling, its like winter taking its blanket and wrapping you up! I live in Ontario Canada and I love it when it gets dark at 5 pm in the winter
I just love the cozy nature of your videos Cecilia!
I live in Australia so at this time of year the closest I get to your cozy is putting the air conditioner on, closing the blinds and turning the lights off….
Your videos are a beautiful escape! Thank you for the time and effort you put in!
Looked so cosy. Heaven.
I saw there is a Svalbard Hotell! If you ever need new video ideas - maybe do a video from the perspective of a tourist! How fun
Great idea! I can visit some more restaurants and Hotels! 😍
The moonlight on the water with the light from the cabin, the coziness of your cabin, a lovely Christmas market, a relaxing evening with a good friend, the magic of Svalbard. ❤
More vlogmas!! Loving the videos Cecilia!
Yay! Thank you!! 😍
Cecilia: Not cold at all
Me: sitting in front of my space heater because it's 42F
Another wonderful 'just hanging out with Cecelia' video. Love it!
i LOOOOVE that auld lang syne version!!! thank you for making this video. ❤️ it’s so so beautiful.
Loved spending this time with y’all
Breathtaking shots! Thanks for taking us along
❤.love your channel. Puts me in a good mood when I'm feeling down
My GSD always reacts when he hears Grim panting! Nice video.
