@ceciliablomdahl I love your videos your cinematography is beautiful ❤ Also thank u so much for helping Jonna jinton!! The two of you are my favorite UA-camrs for sure!! Merry Christmas to you, Christopher, & Grim of course lol xoxo
languages are my hobby😊😊😊
@CeciliaBlomdahl do you have a link to purchase the Christmas ornaments that light up?
Where can you buy the ornament you blow on?
@ceciliablomdahl my son would love to have one of those ornaments! Can you provide a link to buy one? I googled and can't find it! Thanks so much for your beautiful videos - I start every Sunday with some coffee and you! 😊
You are so fortunate to have this community of people to yourself, no crowds, no traffic, just a cozy little life in the North. Living the dream!
Took the words right out of my mouth! It would be so cool to experience something like this especially having 3 months of darkness, along with northern lights!
But then it's night an day for so long ....m
I could not agree more. The older I get the more I crave being in an environment with less people and more nature. ❤
The girl that has more jackets than days of the week, is outside in the snowstorm in her jammies and a hat😂
😂😅
That’s what’s so cool about her. She’s just being her. I love it!!!
She always looks Soo happy😊
keeps life interesting😊
Jackets up there are like bathing suits to other people
I believe this is the 3rd polar night I’m spending with you - welcoming Santa back to the village is probably my most favorite tradition y’all have!❤
I agree!!! And if money ever falls from the sky, that is for sure the time of year that I would visit the village.
If I lived that close to Santa Claus when I was a child I would have lost my mind!
How wonderful for the children of Svalbard.
Thank you, Cecelia for this Christmas magic!
Right! I’m imagining the entrance of the mine opening on Christmas night and Santa’s sleigh flying out and around the island on his way to deliver gifts to all the kids with the northern lights behind him. If I had been a child there I would have been so excited.
Cecilia. It may be overt/weird to say, but I really feel blessed for finding your channel. I never even say that word, if I am being honest!! But you make life seem so magical and whimsical, especially where you are, which I am sure is also somewhat harsh because of the cold, constant sun, constant darkness, and need for being very much responsible for your own life in the wilderness. Yet, you make it seems warm, bright, cozy -- like a book you would want to live inside of, or even a show like Gilmore Girls that is unmatched in cozy vibes. I would love to visit Svalbard at some point in my life, but in the mean time, you really do inspire me to be a better person, happier, sillier, and look at even the harder parts of life with some kind of child-like amazement and newness, or even just enjoying the very little lovely things that happen. I love this channel so much. Like Gilmore Girls, I just wish to live inside of this place :)
You are a fantastic writer. You express what many of us feel. She and Christopher don’t just survive, they thrive,
So kind of you❤
This has been the most nostalgic & lovely video you've made. 💜💜 I love that Christoffer loves decorating the tree so much & that Grim loves higher education 😂
Polar night 4 years ago is when I found your page on TikTok & I'm so grateful for that day!
Marianna 💜💜
Awww thank you Marianna for being here! Time flies?! 😍❤️✨
I barely watch regular tv anymore because I just adore finding gems like you on UA-cam. You have a beautiful personality and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your town’s Christmas tradition. I live in Florida and it couldn’t be more different in climate so it’s magical to see all the snow.
The northern light were amazing! I'm so glad you recorded them so we could see and enjoy them too. I love the lego sets, your pretty tree with the ornaments and watching all of Svalbard come together for the tree lighting. So magical!!
I left my camera outside for almost one hour, so much aurora 😍🫶🏻
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Where do you get the light up ornament?
Many years ago I had (well still do lol, we are still friends) a friend with 3 kids. None of us had any money, so she couldn't afford a tree. When she was at work the kids and I decorated a chair. My friend started crying when she saw it. I know she felt bad, but we had such fun decorating it. We still talk about the Christmas chair. One of my favorite memories.
How wonderful of you!!
Thanks Cecilia, Christoffer and Grim. This was so magical today, I love it.
I also love the ornament that you blow on. It is so cute.
Same!!! lol I want one!
Where can I order one of these blow on ornaments? I wanna give one to a friends daughter for Christmas, she is 3 and would love it
the ornament was made exclusively for the NRK advent calendar tv series Snøfall 1 and 2. If you google Snøfall julekule you'll be able to find places to purchase it, though they likely only ship within Norway.
@oldcrafty3046 same. I've been searching but I'm in the US so it may not be available here...
Please share a link to the blow light ornament
Every video you do is so magical and your enthusiasm and happiness in all you do is so infectious that the world is so RICH with you in it. You give such encouragement with your smile and bubbliness that one can't help but be bursting with enthusiasm too. Your tree and decor are simple beautiful. You and Christoffer complement each other so perfectly 😊. And Grimm completes the picture. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Blessings to you and have the happiest of holidays ❤
😭 Thaaaank you for the lovely words 🫶🏻✨💕
Please link us to the light up ornament!! @@CeciliaBlomdahl
You’ve made my mornings so nice. I woke at 6am got my coffee and got to watch your new video. I just want to say a massive thank you. I truly love your videos and look forward to new ones. I’m definitely one of your binge watchers. A little Cecilia Bromdahl everyday makes me happy. Much love from Northern California
Awww thank youu! ✨💕 I'm so glad!
Gotta say, Christopher has good taste in ornaments!! Love the tree!!!
The best!! I love seeing what he comes home with after an ornament shopping spree 😍 SO many pretty ones!
@@CeciliaBlomdahl where can I get one of the blow on ornaments?
Yh.. where do you buy it
@@oldcrafty3046 Santa Claus only gives them to good boys and girls. Have you been a good boy/girl?
Thank you for bringing Christmas alive in this video. Your cabin has all the holiday magic. ❤️
Hi, it would be very nice to make a video on your overall heating system and heating expenses. I could see one split AC and a wood stove in the living room. But what about other rooms. How warm do you keep your cabin throughout the day and in the nights? While you are sleeping, during the night - do you still get up and fill the wood stove or do you rely only on the Split AC? Then what about the coldest nights? How do you source your heating fuel? How much work goes into it? How and where do you store all of your heating fuels (woods etc)? Why don't you use briquettes? In short, your whole journey regarding heating.
I look forward to this video from you every Christmas season! Your almost childlike excitement adds to the whole thing also. I’m the same way. This one was truely magical and the music choices were great as well. So well done Cecelia. See you next week. ❤
Yay! Thank you! 🙌🏻🫶🏻✨😍❤️
I was there in the procession for the first of Advent! It was really beautiful. What a great community you have in Longyearbyen!
Hi from Scotland! We don't have constant darkness but we do have constant rain 🌧️🌧️ 😁
Hello I’m from Northern Vermont in the U.S. it is cold, snowy & dark here though not nearly as dark as you all. I want to thank you for inspiring me to appreciate our Winter and the tiny joys it brings! Also, a thank you for this truly magical video into your traditions!
I’m so happy! I got to see the new polar bear ornament ! The tree looks wonderful and Christoffer did a great job.. give Grim a hug from me
I love your excitement for Christmas it is contagious. Thank you for telling us of all the happenings over Christmas in Svalbard, it all sounds so wonderful for the children x
Hi! I’m new to your channel and I’ve been binge watching for weeks. How beautiful it is in the North! And I thought I lived in the North in Canada but this is real North 😅
I recently started following your channel and I was mesmerized with the landscapes and the content as well! ❤ Thank you for introducing Svalbard to me! It truly is a magical place ❤
Welcome aboard! 😍😍🫶🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Welcome to this magical haven!
I don't know why or how it happened, but this channel seems to be becoming synonymous with Christmas for me. I binged this channel around Christmas time like 2 years ago and I still watch it pretty regularly but around Christmas it's like especially special. Thanks Cecila. (btw I love that pic of Christoffer by the tree, I've never noticed it before) jag alskar det!
I love your ornaments they are beautiful. I love the Christmas wish ornament the best. I am 72 and I remember when I was a child my mom would put a blanket and pillow under the tree and at night my mom, sister and I would lay with our heads under the tree and marvel at all the sparkelies, Then she did the same with my son as I did too. It's a grand experience. You might enjoy it too. Wishes to the three of you for a wonderful holiday season.
Such a heartwarming and magical place ❄️🎅🎄 Love it💕
I love your sense of humor I think that's why most people love you cuz you're funny and you're goofy and I like cuz you're outside in your pajamas and there's nothing wrong with
Polar night is amazing, wow! I loved that walk of all people to the mine with torches and how great that mailbox for all the letters of the children!🎉🎉 Your house looks so gorgeous, the tree, love your ornaments they are stunning especially the one you have to blow on and starts shining. The lego Village....🥳🥳
Thank you Cecilia for this lovely video!! Much love from snowy Holland ❤
What a beautiful place to live! It is absolutely magical. Merry Christmas to Cecilia, Christopher, and Grim.
The tree lightning is such a magical event! I especially love how they light up the houses to show that Santa is back!!!! That is just so charming and heart warming. Svalbard certainly embodies the spirit of the season❤ Grimm is too adorable in his Santa collar😂
Thank you for sharing such lovely traditions with us❤. It warms my heart.
Grim looks so cute in his lopsided Santa hat! 🎅 Merry Christmas Cecilia, Cristoffer & Grim from Canada! 🎄🇨🇦 🇳🇴 🇸🇪
Your Christmas, decor, tree and ornaments look absolutely gorgeous! 🎄⛄️💝
Love you show and christoffer he is so chilled and cool 👍
Thanks, Cecilia for taking away from your sleep to record the Aurora Borealis! I have never seen it in person. It is beautiful! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
The wishing ornaments are amazing (my favorite of yours last year as well)! Please share where to buy them.
Norli.no 😊
Look like you’re in a snow globe the way the snow was flying around 😂 Tree 🌲 is beautiful 😍
Thank you for all the videos. I look forward to them every Sunday.
There is something that just warms my heart about watching a man help with the decorating. The entire time my kids were growing up, their dad would only put the lights on and then disappear to his man cave while the kids and I did the rest. I know it's possible that you both may decide to not have kids. But if you do have kids, (or kid) I believe Christoffer will be an amazing Dad and you would be the most fun mom EVER!!
We watched your video about Santa today while nibbling a piece of the almond cake from your cookbook. Delish! Thanks!
What a beautiful tradition! I wish I could see it in person. It's truly magical. Thank you for sharing this with us!
We put up our tree yesterday and it really brings the holiday spirit! Those northern lights were awesome 💚🎄💚
Happy holidays! 😍🎄
Hi Cecilia, Christoffer & Grim! Loved seeing you all welcoming Santa! Your Christmas tree this year is beautiful and I love your Lego village 🎄🎅🏼❤️
Happy holidays! 💕✨🎄
I love dark and cozy. I'm tempted to spend a winter there, just to see how I would do. Sparkling lights, warm fires, hot drinks, dogs and books. Paradise.
That looks like a perfect and gorgeous tree for the space (in your cabin, that is). And it had the perfect open space to showcase the expensive, stringless ornament. 🙂
It’s who-Ville ⛄️🌬️❄️🎅🏻so fun to watch !!!
Your tree is BEAUTIFUL! You are soo BEAUTIFUL! I love your channel :D My boyfriend, our dog, and I watch your show all the time and adore your content. I want to visit Svalbard one day. We live in a temperate rainforest under Alaksa on a very remote island that doesn't get snow, but watching your videos help us cope with the dark nights here this winter. Love from Canada
Today I enjoyed your sharing and will be looking forward to your next appearance. I started to watch your local weather. Where I live it feels like Autumn, instead of Winter. This year your low temperatures is producing snow this year. The earth polar are shifting again. it was the mid 1700's and 1800's, America experience a small ice age passing through the most southern part of Louisiana with 4 foot of snow. Have a grate night. 🎄 🎄
Just loved this episode. So magical and the music was heavenly. Warm Canadian hugs to you and your family. ... Two hugs for Grim! 🎅🌲🌚
I am going through a strange time in my life and your content makes me so happy and it fills my heart ❤ Thank you, Cecilia for being on this platform and for creating such amazing content for us ❤
Thanks for sharing the northern lights. I will probably never see them in person so your pictures are just amazing to me.
Love your lego village! ❤ The walk to welcome St. Nickolas home is a beautiful tradition alongside the town gathering of the Christmas tree lighting.
What a beautiful Christmassy day! Santa, Christmas tree and Northern Lights. Magical!
I absolutely loved this video of your tree decorating and your sweet town traditions!
It is magical 🎄🎄❄️❄️🐶🐶🌠
Thank you ,you do live in a magical place
I adore the tradition of welcoming Santa to the village! It's such a magical ceremony to kick off the holiday season!❤❤
Snow squall! Love it! As a long time researcher of holiday traditions and observances and origins, your video has been so very heartening and inspiring! Happy 🌟🌈🌲💖 Holidays!
You would be a terrific Mom, leading your kids down a path filled with wonder , joy, and the delight that comes from the magic of discovery.😊
How spoilt are you with those Northern Lights and having Santa as a neighbour....too good 😀
Thanks for sharing Christmas with us - it was magical. The Northern lights were breathtaking.
Enchanting! Your Christmas tree is perfect. Love the Santa on the polar bear ornament. Thanks for sharing your magical day!
The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.
Glad you're resisting the strange trend of getting a plastic tree! Yours looks amazing
I love how you capture the magic of Svalbard! Love the Santa Tradition.
Oh, my! What a glorious tradition! This one brought tears to my eyes, Cecilia! What a magical time to be in Longyearbyen. Your photography as always is fantastic. Happy Holidays to you, Grim and Christopher!
Wow you sure do live in a majical place. The tree looks beautiful.
You keep saying that it is magical, and there is honestly no other way to describe it!!! So amazing and (dare I say) magical ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your Christmas festivities and decorations! And the Aurora Borealis! I ❤❤❤ that ornament. Magical Svalbard.🥰
Hello Cecilia! I love your videos, especially the snowy ones. You make my day, thank you!
Your videos calm my mind. (I would love to see the northern lights in my lifetime!) You are beautiful, and so is your town. (from the USA)
The joy of children laughing and 😄😃. Beautiful sky. And happiness. You can't purchase that at the 🏪. Only the 🍷🥃🍺😀😃😄 🇺🇸
Such a beautiful video, your tree is lovely with all the special decorations. Wishing you, Kristoffer and Grim a Merry Christmas, Peace and Blessings during this most magical time of year. ❤🇨🇦
My favorite time of year in Svalbard! Love seeing the kiddos mail their Christmas wish to Santa.
Where can one find those awesome ornaments that light up when you blow on them? I need those on my tree 🎄
So magical I actually got tears in my eyes watching the kids post their letters to Santa's and then everyone dancing around the tree. To make it even better I've just finished putting my tree and decorations up so watched it by the light of the Christmas tree candles and the fire
We love watching your updates here in the UK, so not a millions miles away, but as a home ed family we are fascinated by the polar nights...thank you 😊
Beautiful Christmas traditions. Your home is so warm and cozy ❤️🌲🎅
Thanks for gifting me an appreciation for winters! I've always dreaded winter, but watching your videos, I feel so much happiness and comfort.
Also, maybe unpopular opinion, I kinda love the 2013 tree! ❤🌲😃
That tree is SO beautiful!❤
O my God,I have not seen anything more beautiful then your Video,i love it 🤩🫠💫🌌
I love you Cecelia! Thank you for making me love winters in a whole new way. ❤
Awesome video CECILIA thanks for this video.
Glad you liked it! 😍🎄
As a Floridian I’d love a video covering everything that goes into maintaining a cabin in Svalbard ❤️
I have to experience the polar night and the polar day before I pass away this is top of the list for me
Thank you for sharing your home during this magical time of year. Love to hear of your tradition of Santa’s home on the mountain. Love the northern lights but best off all the Santa’s wish ornament I love it and the story behind it. Sending Merry Christmas to you all from North Carolina USA 🎄
This is my favorite tradition I’ve ever heard! I bet it’s magical.
Thank you for your lovely videos...grim you are the sweetest angel 😇
Hello from Paris, France! Christmas is magical here too, in its own way. But, we are very grateful for Christmas week, when we get to escape the city and live in the mountains.
I’ve been craving the mountains lately, and suddenly your channel popped up in my feed. I’ve been watching your videos nonstop for a day now, and can honestly say that I feel more calm and peace than I have in a long time.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, and very unique, life with us.
Have a magical Christmas!
🌨☃️🎄Yes you are absolutely right Cecilia and you and your little family are on the very best place to celebrate Christmas on, such a mystery magical winter wonder! Love it 👍and you guys ❤! 🌨🎄⛄
Happy holidays! 🎄✨
@CeciliaBlomdahl Happy holidays in return to my favorite family on Svalbard! 🌨☃️🎄☃️🌨
@@susannesamuelsson2930Hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 my channel and winter ❄️ countryside 🏡🐕
Those little metal ornaments that move from the heat of candles are fascinating
Thanks for the lovely Video Love your beautiful Christmas tree.have a great day ❤️
Can I just say that this channel has really helped me in a number of ways. One of which being that, living with debilitating chronic pain in my 20s (something that has taken really everything from me), hope and happiness are hard to come by. And although this video shouldn't logically give me any hope, it just does; it gives me tremendous amounts of hope and peace and tranquility for which I am eternally grateful. Another way is that I have always found the winter darkness hard to deal with here (London), but this year (thanks to paying EXTRA attention to your videos) my mindset has completely changed and I am LOVING it. So thank you, Cecilia, for this channel. I know you don't make videos for the sole benefit of others, but you have really helped me and continue to do so, so thank you
How wonderful. Wishing you hope and relief and a dark season that feels easier.
@@liliboo8475 Wishing you all the best xx
@@katelijnesommen Thank you - you too! x
Cecilia, I love your videos. Your home feels so cozy, thanks for sharing a glimpse of svalbard ❤
After 3 years, I'm running out of things to say about your polar night videos. Just absolutely gorgeous 😍 ❤ 💕 Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I'm getting caught up on your videos (depression was bad this year) and we're in April and I'm wanting to go decorate a tree RIGHT NOW. I love the tradition the village started, imagine being a kid there, that would be so freaking cool to see the old mine fire up like that, Santa's workshop is in business once again!
What a magical place. I love the decorations in your house as well! Merry Xmas! 🎅❤
You looked insanely happy Cecilia, a joy to watch!❤
✨🫶🏻💕❤️🫶🏻💕✨🫶🏻
I’ve got all the Lego Christmas Village pieces from the beginning. And I rebuild them every year 😂
It's like a different planet. Fortunate people.
