Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you so much for all the love and support in the last 12 months. We hope you had a fantastic year and continue to rule your own world well on into the next! 🎉❤ Which was your fave video from this year?
Hi Amy and Craig I have been a loyal fan and follower for a long time now, can I just say, I bloody love you guys. I love following your adventures,and how sincere they are. You guys are class! Thank you for sharing your stories,adventures and lives with us! Happy Holidays.
Wow lads. What a year 😍 Love that we got to be a small part of it! Like I said on instagram, that day we arctic surfed is top 3 hardest I laughed all year…but I had TOTALLY forgotten about Nate’s “bird’s nest” 👨🏻🍳 AND that poor hot tent attempt hahahaha 🤣🥶 Sooo proud of y’all! Love you to bits! Can’t wait to hang in 2024 💖🫶🏼
I’m so new to your videos and I absolutely love y’all! I’m going to buy a wig or two, get out of my house, and start to live again. I’m 70 years old, but I don’t feel that old. I lost my husband 6 years ago and it’s caused me such a huge mental breakdown. I lost a year and a half of my life that I don’t remember and the stress has been unbelievable. The two of you has showed me how to restart my life. Thank you and many blessings to you both….
Like you I lost my previous husband 15 years ago to cancer when I was 32. We had 5 little kids….. the stress of his struggle my job that I worked double shifts usually 7 days a week and trying to be a care giver and wife and mom and provider, I lost time as well. They said it was PTSD amnesia from that and something I had went through years earlier. 15 years later and I still don’t remember something’s. And once in awhile one creeps back on me…… God blessed me then and now. My children are grown I have remarried a wonderful man. The memories sneak up on me but God is good and I find him all around me and his beautiful world
Ah, Ruthann, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Craig and Amy have done the same for me! I am so happy that they have done the same for you. I've also bought a short black bob wig, I have blonde-ish/brown-ish hair, and a curly blonde one. I am 60 and these two lovely people have restored my faith in people and in life. I also do not feel my age and no longer care what others believe I should or should not be doing. Carpe Diem and I wish you the most fantabulous future!!
I lost my border collie rescue earlier this year to cancer. She was an amazing dog. SO smart! I feel like my zoey’s memory will get to live on in your videos. Tears of joy.
Man I feel like you guys were just in Japan, where has this year gone?! Seriously cool recap and cannot wait to see all the house reno content in 2024. 💜 Take your time with that video, Craig... when you're ready, we're ready. Huge hugs.
Ah Craig, please know what a gift you are to the world. When those low moments have a visit, please remember the love and respect and admire ration we are sending you. Your heart and humor and honesty are what the world needs.
lol I used the words admire, respect and love in my note too! I swear I wrote it before reading yours. Hear that Craig? You too Aimee girl. Please see yourselves how we see you.
For the first time in my 38 years, I am spending Christmas in another country, away from family, and everything else familiar. Last year, I took your advice to RYOW and decided it was time for a BIG change. My husband and I saved every penny we could in a years time and moved to a small island off the coast of Honduras so that I could pursue my dream of becoming a professional scuba diver. I cannot even begin to tell you how much the 2 of you have inspired me since I started watching years ago. You are full of life and joy and happiness and humor and adventure and realness. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both. Congratulations on all of you accomplishments this year. I can't wait to see the house renovations, the homecoming of a new dog, and the wedding. Cheers mates!
Absolutely love this for you Leah! How amazing 🤿🤩 good for you two, I bet it’s been an awesome journey already with so much more to come! Thanks for sharing your story ♥️
I just want you two to know you have saved me. I was lost, mentally, and didn't know what was going to happen as I was having horrible thoughts about my life. I would watch your videos and they would bring me out of this dark place to be happy to live vicariously through you two. I am now getting help and am on the right meds. I just want to thank you for saving my life, literally. I love you two so much. I feel like just saying thank you isn't enough.
Kelly, well done finding yourself and finding a way out of the dark days! And the fact that you took time and energy out of your day to write them this message and to spread some positivity shows just how lucky we are to have a person like you in this world.
Thank you for a fantastic year, your adventures and videos have all been amazing and a joy to watch... I've been following a couple of years now and you've been an absolute inspiration.. thank you guys, can't wait to see your new chapters, including your fur baby 🐾🐾.. have a wonderful Christmas and New Year...❤.
I’m currently sat at home on anti depressants with a VW campervan sat idle on the driveway. Thank you, you’ve given me the motivation I needed to start planning an adventure. Love you guys.
I can't believe the Swedish cabin trip was 12 MONTHS AGO!!?!?! 2023 has flown by... thanks for taking us on the highs and lows of your trips and lives. Wishing you both a fantastic 2024!
Great achievements this year. Always love watching your commercials too. They're the best! I'm sooooo excited about your house purchase and "feel" your appreciation and happiness for your new home. Wouldn't it be great to fix the barn enough to have your wedding there and then convert it into a work and guest space, where your favorite peeps in the whole world can stay and share your local adventures. I'm sure you'll come up with great ideas. Thank you both for sharing your adventures, including their downs and ups. Every step in life will have its chapters, and your new home home chapter will be filled with plenty of stories as well. Make a home plan and ASK and ALLOW God to guide you along the way and HE WILL Guide you to the right people with the best ideas and skills, and it will inevitably turn out better than you could ever imagine yourself. Wishing you the very best and happiest of year end celebrations.
So happy to see you will have a dog on your new property. I lost my travel companion Freddy two days ago and I know how much a dog can enrich your lives. Thank you for another awesome year of adventures. All the best to you this holiday season. ❤
My mental health is rubbish at the moment. Watching you both grow is amazing. This year has been amazing for you both cant wait to see what you both bring to the channel next year x
Doesn't seem like Norway was in January. Does not seem that far long ago. You both have had a jam packed year. Thank you for allowing me to come along for every bit of it. Every video I laugh, I cry, it's true content, genuine! ❤ Happy Christmas from a fan in Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you very much to be brave enough to share and talk about mental health. You are Angels! Love you guys! Blessings of Joy, Peace, Love, Health and Happiness to you both.
A border collie! What a GREAT choice! So smart, so pretty! Best dog I ever had the pleasure of having! I hope you keep her with you and tell your parents, "sorry, possession is nine tenths of the law!" Merry Christmas all!
Love you lots. Have a great festive season. Dogs are everything, I have a Border collie and an Australian Shepherd and wouldn’t be without them. I suffer from depression (for a long time) and having people like you and other van lifers has given me purpose. I look forward to catching up with you and your endeavours. You make a difference to my life… 🇦🇺🐾🐾
As a soon 50 year old man , that's gone through an awful lot of changes in my life over the last 2 years, on personal and mental levels , watching you both being open, honest , and absolute nutters in the best possible way , are a true breath of fresh air and how to approach life. Especially after what both of you have been through. You may be only in your early 30's but your wisdom and insight is beyond that. You are also making me want to return to Scotland and see if I can find the location where my father grew up in Glasgow , that would be an adventure in itself. Keep being you guys. From an Aussie Irish fan.
Thank you for everything you shared with us this year, the good, bad and in between. You opened my eyes to so many worthly places and organizations that I can't even put into words how much it brought to my life. Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas and rhe best New Year you can dream of. Hugs and love
So full of admiration for the two of you! This has been another year of whacky, hilarious, courageous, interesting and inspiring adventures you have shared with us, and I've loved it ALL! And it has been epic in growth with the courage and strength to work through tough mental health challenges, get engaged and fully embrace a new chapter- buying a house and building a lovely life. I SO look forward to enjoying another year ahead with you- full of promise, love, creativity and gifts! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and lovely blessings in 2023! 🎄🎄❤️❤️
4:19 Hi Craig, I was diagnosed as severely depressed 12 years ago, the doctor told me I was attention seeking so wouldn't give me any help (I was in my teens) since then I've been too afraid to reach out for help, the depression hasn't improved, I can't trust therapy and CBT only helps so much. My biggest fear for reaching out for help is not being taken seriously and the fear of what medication could do to me. Knowing you plan to release your story about your journey fills me with so much positivity, it's actually my new year resolution to get my depression sorted by the end of 2024 and you've certainly help drive that with what you've mentioned in this video. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I wish for you two to have a blissful life
If I could squeeze everything you did in a year into my lifetime I would die happy, you two make my week , I am so happy you ended up in Scotland 🏴 you're welcome to our country. Xx
You are brave Craig! You sharing your journey allowed me to contact Betterhelp, and navigate my burnout and recovery. You sharing was key! thank you, keep going you are awesome xo Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Guys, I shed a tear when you introduced Holly, I lost my little dog of 12 years 3rd of November, her name was Holly too, and watching you guys was one of things that would cheer me up and take my mind of the grief. Anyway, looking forward to 2024 with you, always love your content, you keep me smiling and positive. Big hugs to you both, and Holly of course xxx
Thank you Craig and Amy! Your vlogs have gotten me through a very tough year with health issues. Your honesty, rawness and love of silly all while adventuring through life put some hope back in the mix. Have a gorgeous Xmas, new year and all that good stuff!
I love you guys. The fact that you aren't scared to show your emotions and what you're going through is wonderful. I wish you did more than one per week but totally understand the pressure. You offer a safe place for my mind to travel each week, and that means a lot to me. I have depression and anxiety. Your videos help. Thank you, and Happy Christmas 🙂🎄💗
My personal opinion about a dog is get a small 15 lb poodle mix. I have had many dogs and all are heavy cleaning maintenance. The poodle mixes don’t shed if they have a high enough poodle mix and it’s a dream. The work to groom is far easier than constant cleaning. If you take you four legged bundle with you in the van it will be difficult to maintain the space. Other breeds are non shedding. I have a poodle doodle mix and she is a great dog. Playful and always wants to be with you. She is emotionally in the anxious side but that was because a car her in a crosswalk and she is anxious now-so ask about that. Mostly she doesn’t like moving objects and the rest she is great with. Love how you took care of mental health and are in the upside of things again. Good luck in the rebuild and take care as it will be a challenge for sure.
I love your honesty Craig. You’ve had a wonderful year and it’s been so fun to watch. Now I can’t wait to see how your new home progresses. I really enjoy watching a home renovation. May you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and productive New Year. 🤶🎄⛄️🍷🐶
Congratulations on your great year and thank you for sharing. I lost my mother to cancer two years ago , she was a very proud Welsh woman who emigrated to Canada. Watching you both reminds me of my mother , where she came from, what she loved. I look forward to your adventures, your positivity and your accents. Merry Christmas to you and your families , all the best in 2024 🎉
Gosh dang it, you got me crying again! You guys are awesome; you’ve conquered so much and you just keep fighting and striving, and inspiring so many others along the way! And when you brought out lovely Holly at the end, well that killed me off!! Holly is a great name for a dog, and for a human, if I do say so myself! 😜 Merry Christmas Craimee and Aig! 🎉
Loved all the videos. Especially the ones when Aimee faced her fears and when Craig supported you and gave that side eye and smile when you were able to get through them. Always know that with communication and many hugs, you can always succeed.
Craig and Aimee - a bit of house advice. Aside from shoring up structural issues, live in your house for a while to get a feel for how you will use the rooms before making major remodeling decisions. You will be surprised how your ideas change over time.
Thank you for sharing your love and zest for life! Can't wait to be right here watching all the way in Ontario Canada what you two get up to in 2024! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Merry Christmas from Canada…love you guys…and you are now furbaby parents…what a lucky pup. I am so looking forward to your renovations in the New Year.❤
I grew up with a Border Collie and she was the best doggo EVER!!! Lady was her name!! Really proud of you guys, and you have alot to be proud of this year!!! Blessed Be friends and Happy Holidays!!! ❤
wow, what a year it has been. I think it's always important to reflect on your year and see how far you have come, and looks like you both have gone a long way. Hope you both have a lovely Christmas and New year! Looking forward for whats next to come- maybe you should buy a house or something? 🤣
I'm so excited for you both on your new chapter in your lives. I honestly can't pick a favourite video because I just sdore you two and every one if your videos are just so amazing. Merry Christmas to you both and a very happy new year! Xx
You guys always make me smile with tears in my eyes. With all your ups and downs you still smile and make my life worry nothing compares to what you been through. Holly is the same breed as my dog always on the go though he’s 8 years old now but he loves being in the van trips 😊
Merry Christmas you two ☃🎄 it seems insane that a whole year has passed already. You've successfully captivated me the whole time but I'll have to say that, I am most excited about your ventures through Scotland and the upcoming renos of your new abode. Hope you have a rest and recharge over the holidays -- looking forward to following along in the new year :)
What an amazing year you guys had. I had a great time following along. I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for Kinging It! Enjoy spending time with Holly. Dogs are THE BEST therapy. They keep you active and always putting a smile on your face.
You guys make me smile like no other channel. You are the best. Like many have said, they were at low points, having bad thoughts…. I agree. You have helped me rule my world. I have a long way to go, but watching the two of you brings me so much joy. Congratulations on the house and I can’t wait to see you move it!
We had magical dogs called McNab Shepherds. There's a wonderful story about their origin from Scotland, if you look up McNab history on the McNap shepherd registry on Google. They were bred originally from a Scotch Collie. The McNab family brought them to California. My McNabs could almost speak to us. They understood every word we said, had soulful eyes, and I'm forever thankful to have been blessed by my 2 special soulmates, Jill and Cowboy. They look like a short haired border collie and are the smartest dogs I've ever known. Very commutative and talkative. I don't know if you've ever read the book, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, but McNabs rank up there with those types of dogs. Best of luck in finding the perfect fur baby!
Your love for each other is clearly obvious .As a Patriotic American the two of you make me happy. In this stressful World your videos make me laugh. Your comedic skills never cease to amaze me. So glad i found you. I will be a follower for as long as you provide the World with your sparkling personalities. God Bless you and keep you safe!
What a year you've had...Thanks for taking us along the ride and inspiring some amazing travels. I went to Japan after watching (not expecting a ring), and it did not disappoint! Happy holidays to you guys and can't wait for the 2024 reno vids!
My fav episode was when you fostered the boys Milo, Mario and Oscar and took them on the journey of there lives . You guys bring so much joy and happines and i hope you know that . Have a wonderful Christmas and can't wait for next years videos and the new house
I've been watching you guys for quite many years now, and every sunday I know I can finish the week with a bit of a laughter and a tear or two. This year feels like it was only a breeze of fresh air and you've done so much, overcoming hard times and finishing on a high with the purchase of your first house. I am looking forward to seeing you renovate that old building into a home fit for you two, and soon 17, if you count Aimee's 15 desired dogs. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year! 🥂
Craig and Aimee, I really want to say how much I appreciate how open you both are with what is happening to you personally and how great it is that you are feeling better Craig!! You are both so inspiring and motivating. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Here's to a smooth renovation of your dream home!
Lads, not seen the one where you find the house yet...will go take a look for sure though. I'm currently fixing up mine after a bout of Melanoma took me out of the workforce at the start of the pandemic. I knew it had woodworm, so, i went looking for it while i had nothing better to do. Long story short, new windows, doors, front room floor poured, stripping back of front room ceiling with a whole bunch of side by sides added, a refitting of the bathroom, a new boiler placed up in the loft, and the creation of an airing cupboard at the top of the stairs, I'm still very much at it! One thing with Scotland that i know... anything youre doing HAS to be to the Scottish code...not a bad thing as their codes are often better than the English codes...but, it can cause added/unexpected expense. Oh, and make sure you have the right set of tools...may i suggest the Milwaukee brushless M18 Red Lithium series of tools to start with...in particular to get you going, a medium/large circular saw, a multi-tool woth a wode selection of heads, a cordless drill and an impact driver. Also, for drilling through wood, the Bosch Expert Speed Spade Drill bits are second to none. Also, their mountain biking is just the best! It would be cool to see you guys getting into it a bit more. Also, if youre anywhere neart Perthshire, check out The Scottish Detectorist channel...he's always digging up good stuff. And, for Scottish history, checkout the Scotland History Tours channel for a familiar but truly unique perspective. Giz a shout if you need a hand with anything next year. Im no tradesman but I've had to deal with a fair bit at home 😂
I’m a truck driver, waiting in line with loads of people mostly men, and I’m doing my best not to cry listening to you talking about mental health issues. 😊 oh well… get a grip Claudine… 😂❤❤ thanks a million for sharing your experiences.
It was a blast watching this video and remembering the great videos you made last year. Soo proud of you both! (the great videos you make, getting off of antidepressants, getting engaged AND buy a house!) Merry Christmas and I'm looking forward to next years videos!
Wow, what a year! Thank you so much for your videos, for telling it like it is, for your good hearts and making me laugh and cry in 2023. Can’t wait to see Scotland and the house reno in 2024 and Holly of course! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both 🎉
I have severe depression and I’m p so proud of Craig for being able to come off of his meds. Depression is a life ruining disease and you are doing so much better than I could ever hope.
What a year you have had. You utterly deserve your happy ending and I’m so looking forward to seeing the renovation of your house. You are such an inspiration for those who suffer from mental health issues like myself, your honesty is refreshing and You are both brave and bold.
You two bless me so much! Our family had a Border collie for 16 years, she always wanted loves and her “job” was to please us and love us back! She learned “leave it” and “all done” really fast! We miss her so much but as our daughters say “ she is living her best life ever, every day now” ! What a time of joy and wonder and delight are ahead of you! Merry Christmas and Congratulations on your new home!
Merry Christmas - wow what a year you have had, you guys should be super proud for everything you have achieved. Keep living your best life and you've definitely made us think about an African road trip in the future. Wishing you both a fabulous Christmas. xx
Thank you for talking about your emotional issues. Those of us who suffer know how hard it is. I am 67 but didn't get any help till my 50's. Praise God the young are learning early. You have all my prayers. I think you are both role models.
Because of your travels in Norway, Kara and Nate’s travels in theArctic and then joining you in Norway, and Cecilia’s videos on Svalbard, we booked a cruise in Norway for our 40th anniversary in 2024. It’ll be with Hurtigruten, the cruise line Kara and Nate took to meet up with you two! Can’t wait for your house videos! Enjoy your time off until then.
Thank You for the Gift of Laughter you have given me this hard year. The WORD for my 2024 is WELLNESS! Mind, Body, Soul Health. Blessings of Health, Happiness and more Laughter as 2024 unfolds for you both. Love & Respect... Liane, from New Zealand.
Just realized you guys are up to 320,xxx subs. Thats awesome! So grateful ive had the opportunity to watch you guys and ur channel grow. On the road to half a million!! Thank you guys for speaking about mental health. Its so important. Love you guys so much! 💜
What a beautiful year. Thank you both for sharing all your adventures, I enjoyed every single one of them. You all brought me happiness during a tough time this year, and I know you all don’t see it, but you two really bring so many smiles to everyone here. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, health, and love. I would love to meet you one day, hopefully I’ll visit Scotland with my little family one day. To a happy new year!!! Cheers from FL 🥂♥️
Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m glad you’re still here , I don’t know you but I’m glad , keep going, you’ve got this 😊

Haha Thanks so much Margaret! 🩷
Me too, love them
me too! I love the adverts. So much effort put in to them.
Agreed - never skip the ads x
Same! Genuinely love these guys. They are from my hometown, so not ONLY are they amazing but it would be a crime NOT to support them ❤
Can’t wait to see your new chapter unfold next year! 🏘️🏠
I can't believe the Swedish cabin trip was 12 MONTHS AGO!!?!?! 2023 has flown by... thanks for taking us on the highs and lows of your trips and lives. Wishing you both a fantastic 2024!
Great achievements this year. Always love watching your commercials too. They're the best! I'm sooooo excited about your house purchase and "feel" your appreciation and happiness for your new home. Wouldn't it be great to fix the barn enough to have your wedding there and then convert it into a work and guest space, where your favorite peeps in the whole world can stay and share your local adventures. I'm sure you'll come up with great ideas. Thank you both for sharing your adventures, including their downs and ups. Every step in life will have its chapters, and your new home home chapter will be filled with plenty of stories as well. Make a home plan and ASK and ALLOW God to guide you along the way and HE WILL Guide you to the right people with the best ideas and skills, and it will inevitably turn out better than you could ever imagine yourself. Wishing you the very best and happiest of year end celebrations.
So happy to see you will have a dog on your new property. I lost my travel companion Freddy two days ago and I know how much a dog can enrich your lives. Thank you for another awesome year of adventures. All the best to you this holiday season. ❤
My mental health is rubbish at the moment. Watching you both grow is amazing. This year has been amazing for you both cant wait to see what you both bring to the channel next year x
You two have really shown HOW to Rule Your Own World….with its ups and downs. And now, with your new best furry friend. A joyous holiday!
Pure legends the pair of you. Thanks for all the laughter and tears this year. Looking forward to following your exciting new chapter in 2024
Doesn't seem like Norway was in January. Does not seem that far long ago. You both have had a jam packed year.
Thank you for allowing me to come along for every bit of it. Every video I laugh, I cry, it's true content, genuine! ❤
Happy Christmas from a fan in Canada 🇨🇦

I hope everything is OK with you both, you haven't posted in 4 weeks
You two are absolutely priceless humans!! ♥️♥️ I cannot express how much I enjoy watching ALL of your content!!
Love you lots. Have a great festive season. Dogs are everything, I have a Border collie and an Australian Shepherd and wouldn’t be without them. I suffer from depression (for a long time) and having people like you and other van lifers has given me purpose. I look forward to catching up with you and your endeavours. You make a difference to my life… 🇦🇺🐾🐾
Craig, so proud of you. Your creative mind is making a hard topic video! Can't wait. Will have tissues ready.
As a soon 50 year old man , that's gone through an awful lot of changes in my life over the last 2 years, on personal and mental levels , watching you both being open, honest , and absolute nutters in the best possible way , are a true breath of fresh air and how to approach life. Especially after what both of you have been through. You may be only in your early 30's but your wisdom and insight is beyond that. You are also making me want to return to Scotland and see if I can find the location where my father grew up in Glasgow , that would be an adventure in itself. Keep being you guys. From an Aussie Irish fan.
Thank you for everything you shared with us this year, the good, bad and in between. You opened my eyes to so many worthly places and organizations that I can't even put into words how much it brought to my life. Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas and rhe best New Year you can dream of. Hugs and love
Oh my goodness Annie!! Ive JUST seen this!! Thank you so SO much- far too much money to be sending us!
That's such a lovely message - thank you!! 💛
So full of admiration for the two of you! This has been another year of whacky, hilarious, courageous, interesting and inspiring adventures you have shared with us, and I've loved it ALL! And it has been epic in growth with the courage and strength to work through tough mental health challenges, get engaged and fully embrace a new chapter- buying a house and building a lovely life. I SO look forward to enjoying another year ahead with you- full of promise, love, creativity and gifts! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and lovely blessings in 2023! 🎄🎄❤️❤️
Thank you for opening up about your mental health. It is truly so important. It can feel so isolating dealing with mental health issues. ❤❤
4:19 Hi Craig, I was diagnosed as severely depressed 12 years ago, the doctor told me I was attention seeking so wouldn't give me any help (I was in my teens) since then I've been too afraid to reach out for help, the depression hasn't improved, I can't trust therapy and CBT only helps so much. My biggest fear for reaching out for help is not being taken seriously and the fear of what medication could do to me. Knowing you plan to release your story about your journey fills me with so much positivity, it's actually my new year resolution to get my depression sorted by the end of 2024 and you've certainly help drive that with what you've mentioned in this video.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I wish for you two to have a blissful life
If I could squeeze everything you did in a year into my lifetime I would die happy, you two make my week , I am so happy you ended up in Scotland 🏴 you're welcome to our country. Xx
What a year. Well done. Loved travelling along with you both. ❤
I am so happy for you to start this new chapter and to have a doggie to take care of along the way, it's just pure perfection!!!
This recap is my favorite video of 2023! Merry Christmas and blessings to everyone🌱
You are brave Craig! You sharing your journey allowed me to contact Betterhelp, and navigate my burnout and recovery. You sharing was key! thank you, keep going you are awesome xo Merry Christmas.
Don't ever change, you bring Christmas and joy to us all. Happy Christmas and ❤you both
Your channel lifts my heart every single time! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Merry Christmas Guys, I shed a tear when you introduced Holly, I lost my little dog of 12 years 3rd of November, her name was Holly too, and watching you guys was one of things that would cheer me up and take my mind of the grief. Anyway, looking forward to 2024 with you, always love your content, you keep me smiling and positive. Big hugs to you both, and Holly of course xxx
Thank you Craig and Amy! Your vlogs have gotten me through a very tough year with health issues. Your honesty, rawness and love of silly all while adventuring through life put some hope back in the mix. Have a gorgeous Xmas, new year and all that good stuff!
You guys rock-here's to Holly the Collie and the start of all of you new ventures... Fantastic... Seasons blessings coming your way..❤
I love you guys. The fact that you aren't scared to show your emotions and what you're going through is wonderful. I wish you did more than one per week but totally understand the pressure. You offer a safe place for my mind to travel each week, and that means a lot to me. I have depression and anxiety. Your videos help. Thank you, and Happy Christmas 🙂🎄💗
My personal opinion about a dog is get a small 15 lb poodle mix. I have had many dogs and all are heavy cleaning maintenance. The poodle mixes don’t shed if they have a high enough poodle mix and it’s a dream. The work to groom is far easier than constant cleaning. If you take you four legged bundle with you in the van it will be difficult to maintain the space. Other breeds are non shedding. I have a poodle doodle mix and she is a great dog. Playful and always wants to be with you. She is emotionally in the anxious side but that was because a car her in a crosswalk and she is anxious now-so ask about that. Mostly she doesn’t like moving objects and the rest she is great with. Love how you took care of mental health and are in the upside of things again. Good luck in the rebuild and take care as it will be a challenge for sure.
I love your honesty Craig. You’ve had a wonderful year and it’s been so fun to watch. Now I can’t wait to see how your new home progresses. I really enjoy watching a home renovation. May you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and productive New Year. 🤶🎄⛄️🍷🐶
Congratulations on your great year and thank you for sharing. I lost my mother to cancer two years ago , she was a very proud Welsh woman who emigrated to Canada. Watching you both reminds me of my mother , where she came from, what she loved. I look forward to your adventures, your positivity and your accents. Merry Christmas to you and your families , all the best in 2024 🎉
Let the next chapter begin …wishing you both much love and happiness!
I love this for you guys! No one is more deserving of this next chapter, than y'all ♥️ Enjoy every second 🎉
Tears of ABSOLUTE JOY FOR YOU 3! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gosh dang it, you got me crying again! You guys are awesome; you’ve conquered so much and you just keep fighting and striving, and inspiring so many others along the way! And when you brought out lovely Holly at the end, well that killed me off!! Holly is a great name for a dog, and for a human, if I do say so myself! 😜 Merry Christmas Craimee and Aig! 🎉
Just made myself a cup of tea and now I can drink it and watch this. Couldn’t get any better than that ❤wishing you a lovely Christmas time 🎄
Thank you! You too Katharina! 🩷
Loved all the videos. Especially the ones when Aimee faced her fears and when Craig supported you and gave that side eye and smile when you were able to get through them. Always know that with communication and many hugs, you can always succeed.
What a year! Hope you two have the happiest holidays! 2024 is going to be epic! ❤
Craig and Aimee - a bit of house advice. Aside from shoring up structural issues, live in your house for a while to get a feel for how you will use the rooms before making major remodeling decisions. You will be surprised how your ideas change over time.
Thank you for sharing your love and zest for life! Can't wait to be right here watching all the way in Ontario Canada what you two get up to in 2024! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Kara and Nate and Kinging It are my most favorite UA-camrs to watch. I laugh and cry, and I always can't wait until next Sunday.
Merry Christmas from Canada…love you guys…and you are now furbaby parents…what a lucky pup. I am so looking forward to your renovations in the New Year.❤
I grew up with a Border Collie and she was the best doggo EVER!!! Lady was her name!! Really proud of you guys, and you have alot to be proud of this year!!! Blessed Be friends and Happy Holidays!!! ❤
SO EXCITED for this next chapter!!!❤❤❤ Merry Christmas!!
So proud of you for sharing your mental health journey, mate.
So much to celebrate! Loving you both, Merry Christmas and all that follows. ♡
What a year. The ups and downs of a real life being lived. Love you guys, stay safe
wow, what a year it has been. I think it's always important to reflect on your year and see how far you have come, and looks like you both have gone a long way. Hope you both have a lovely Christmas and New year! Looking forward for whats next to come- maybe you should buy a house or something? 🤣
As an owner of two border collies all I can say is that it is the best possible idea. Not only a good one!!!
I'm so excited for you both on your new chapter in your lives. I honestly can't pick a favourite video because I just sdore you two and every one if your
videos are just so amazing. Merry Christmas to you both and a very happy new year! Xx
A house and Holly! How incredible. I cannot wait for the next chapter of this adventure!
You guys always make me smile with tears in my eyes. With all your ups and downs you still smile and make my life worry nothing compares to what you been through. Holly is the same breed as my dog always on the go though he’s 8 years old now but he loves being in the van trips 😊
Merry Christmas you two ☃🎄 it seems insane that a whole year has passed already. You've successfully captivated me the whole time but I'll have to say that, I am most excited about your ventures through Scotland and the upcoming renos of your new abode. Hope you have a rest and recharge over the holidays -- looking forward to following along in the new year :)
i like the floppy ears
Fank youuu! 🩷🩷🩷
I have 4 rescue collies and they are my absolute world. They are so loyal, loving and so much fun ❤️
What an amazing year you guys had. I had a great time following along. I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for Kinging It! Enjoy spending time with Holly. Dogs are THE BEST therapy. They keep you active and always putting a smile on your face.
You guys make me smile like no other channel. You are the best. Like many have said, they were at low points, having bad thoughts…. I agree. You have helped me rule my world. I have a long way to go, but watching the two of you brings me so much joy. Congratulations on the house and I can’t wait to see you move it!
We had magical dogs called McNab Shepherds. There's a wonderful story about their origin from Scotland, if you look up McNab history on the McNap shepherd registry on Google. They were bred originally from a Scotch Collie. The McNab family brought them to California. My McNabs could almost speak to us. They understood every word we said, had soulful eyes, and I'm forever thankful to have been blessed by my 2 special soulmates, Jill and Cowboy. They look like a short haired border collie and are the smartest dogs I've ever known. Very commutative and talkative. I don't know if you've ever read the book, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, but McNabs rank up there with those types of dogs. Best of luck in finding the perfect fur baby!
Your love for each other is clearly obvious .As a Patriotic American the two of you make me happy. In this stressful World your videos make me laugh. Your comedic skills never cease to amaze me. So glad i found you. I will be a follower for as long as you provide the World with your sparkling personalities. God Bless you and keep you safe!
What a year you've had...Thanks for taking us along the ride and inspiring some amazing travels. I went to Japan after watching (not expecting a ring), and it did not disappoint! Happy holidays to you guys and can't wait for the 2024 reno vids!
Yours is the only channel where I am happy to cry all the way through each episode.
My fav episode was when you fostered the boys Milo, Mario and Oscar and took them on the journey of there lives . You guys bring so much joy and happines and i hope you know that . Have a wonderful Christmas and can't wait for next years videos and the new house
I've been watching you guys for quite many years now, and every sunday I know I can finish the week with a bit of a laughter and a tear or two. This year feels like it was only a breeze of fresh air and you've done so much, overcoming hard times and finishing on a high with the purchase of your first house. I am looking forward to seeing you renovate that old building into a home fit for you two, and soon 17, if you count Aimee's 15 desired dogs. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year! 🥂
I want to suggest for the home renovation that Aimee have a dedicated section of the walk in closet for her wigs. Like a proper display.
Craig and Aimee, I really want to say how much I appreciate how open you both are with what is happening to you personally and how great it is that you are feeling better Craig!! You are both so inspiring and motivating. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Here's to a smooth renovation of your dream home!
Lads, not seen the one where you find the house yet...will go take a look for sure though.
I'm currently fixing up mine after a bout of Melanoma took me out of the workforce at the start of the pandemic.
I knew it had woodworm, so, i went looking for it while i had nothing better to do.
Long story short, new windows, doors, front room floor poured, stripping back of front room ceiling with a whole bunch of side by sides added, a refitting of the bathroom, a new boiler placed up in the loft, and the creation of an airing cupboard at the top of the stairs, I'm still very much at it!
One thing with Scotland that i know... anything youre doing HAS to be to the Scottish code...not a bad thing as their codes are often better than the English codes...but, it can cause added/unexpected expense.
Oh, and make sure you have the right set of tools...may i suggest the Milwaukee brushless M18 Red Lithium series of tools to start with...in particular to get you going, a medium/large circular saw, a multi-tool woth a wode selection of heads, a cordless drill and an impact driver.
Also, for drilling through wood, the Bosch Expert Speed Spade Drill bits are second to none.
Also, their mountain biking is just the best!
It would be cool to see you guys getting into it a bit more.
Also, if youre anywhere neart Perthshire, check out The Scottish Detectorist channel...he's always digging up good stuff.
And, for Scottish history, checkout the Scotland History Tours channel for a familiar but truly unique perspective.
Giz a shout if you need a hand with anything next year. Im no tradesman but I've had to deal with a fair bit at home 😂
Congratulations on everything this year and wishes for an awesome and amazing 2024! We can’t wait to see!❤
Oh the way they look at each other. It melts my heart.
I’m a truck driver, waiting in line with loads of people mostly men, and I’m doing my best not to cry listening to you talking about mental health issues. 😊 oh well… get a grip Claudine… 😂❤❤ thanks a million for sharing your experiences.
It was a blast watching this video and remembering the great videos you made last year. Soo proud of you both! (the great videos you make, getting off of antidepressants, getting engaged AND buy a house!) Merry Christmas and I'm looking forward to next years videos!
A tip for the new house. Build a tub for the dogs in the mudroom so you can clean them before they go inside.
Can't wait to see the new adventures!
Wow, what a year! Thank you so much for your videos, for telling it like it is, for your good hearts and making me laugh and cry in 2023. Can’t wait to see Scotland and the house reno in 2024 and Holly of course! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both 🎉
I have severe depression and I’m p so proud of Craig for being able to come off of his meds. Depression is a life ruining disease and you are doing so much better than I could ever hope.
Highlight of the year (just after the engagement, of course):
Put Foot rally & the Spirit award!!! You two are the best!!!
What a year you have had. You utterly deserve your happy ending and I’m so looking forward to seeing the renovation of your house. You are such an inspiration for those who suffer from mental health issues like myself, your honesty is refreshing and You are both brave and bold.
You two bless me so much! Our family had a Border collie for 16 years, she always wanted loves and her “job” was to please us and love us back! She learned “leave it” and “all done” really fast! We miss her so much but as our daughters say “ she is living her best life ever, every day now” ! What a time of joy and wonder and delight are ahead of you! Merry Christmas and Congratulations on your new home!
Merry Christmas - wow what a year you have had, you guys should be super proud for everything you have achieved. Keep living your best life and you've definitely made us think about an African road trip in the future. Wishing you both a fabulous Christmas. xx
omg i cried, cried laughing, cried emotionally, 2023 was an adventure!Thank you for bringing us along !
Thank you for talking about your emotional issues. Those of us who suffer know how hard it is. I am 67 but didn't get any help till my 50's. Praise God the young are learning early. You have all my prayers. I think you are both role models.
Y'all are the realest people on UA-cam. I love the way you two love each other - and the way Amy looks at Craig...❤
This was my first full year with you two, thanks to Kara and Nate. Loved Japan and Put Foot Rally!!
Because of your travels in Norway, Kara and Nate’s travels in theArctic and then joining you in Norway, and Cecilia’s videos on Svalbard, we booked a cruise in Norway for our 40th anniversary in 2024. It’ll be with Hurtigruten, the cruise line Kara and Nate took to meet up with you two!
Can’t wait for your house videos! Enjoy your time off until then.
Thank You for the Gift of Laughter you have given me this hard year.
The WORD for my 2024 is WELLNESS! Mind, Body, Soul Health.
Blessings of Health, Happiness and more Laughter as 2024 unfolds for you both.
Love & Respect... Liane, from New Zealand.

What a beautiful year. Thank you both for sharing all your adventures, I enjoyed every single one of them. You all brought me happiness during a tough time this year, and I know you all don’t see it, but you two really bring so many smiles to everyone here. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, health, and love. I would love to meet you one day, hopefully I’ll visit Scotland with my little family one day. To a happy new year!!! Cheers from FL 🥂♥️
