Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Come along with me and experience Christmas week in a Hutterite community. it involves a lot of prepping for the holidays and a few traditions that have been around longer then myself and that make the Christmas time more jolly and festive.
I tired to be more raw and open with you and show more of my emotions and what I'm feeling but, that's something that I really have to work on, it doesn't come easy for me.
this is the last vlog of the year 2020 I thank you for your continued support I couldn't have done this without you, much love and Gods blessing for you all. have a happy and healthy New Year.
#Hutteritelife #Winter2020 #Christmastime
Thank you for letting us into your community and traditions. I truly enjoyed all the music and watching you clean, prepare, and all the smiles and laughter you have brought festivities in getting ready for Christmas. Please thank your family for sharing a bit also; it was so special as I live alone. Merry Christmas!
thank you so much I'm really glad you enjoy the videos and that they bring a smile to your face. I wish I would have seen your comment sooner but, I still wanted to reply and I hope you had a blessed Christmas and have a wonderful new year.
KONA watching the boys play hockey is the cutest thing ever 😂
I love how you are able to hold on to your family and colonies values even while embracing a certain amount of modern machinery. Thank you for sharing your life with us 😍
I would love to send you a care package. You are so inspiring. I love your tutorials. With blessing from Virginia Beach, Va. United States.
I love the part where your puppy is cheerleading at the hockey game. Way too adorable……………💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗🐶🐶🐶
Oh my goodness... Kona watching the hockey! Can she be any more adorable?
I just love all the singing you include in your videos
I'm catching up on your back videos, and it cracks me up when you pause in the middle of a sentence to review your English translation of what you're thinking. It's fun seeing your thought process! Thanks for the opportunities to peek into your life. You are a very accomplished young woman.
😂😂🤭 Thankyou ❤ 😊
I love how you move your feet when your in church singing. I am at least that active during church too. I don’t know how people are still when your soul is so full of Christ’s love when praising him.
Giselle, your energy and joy make this so much fun to watch!
Yes she's awesome 👌, hello from swan lake first Nation Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
I grew up opening presents Christmas Eve! With it being dark and lights on , love it
I think I'd be lost if we opened them in the morning.
That’s the German tradition.
I love your dog encouraging her hockey team!!
it seemed like she knew what she was talking about.
@@gisellewaldner9406 maybe thé New coach 🤣
Never know 🤣
In Germany we too do the presents at the 24th in the evening (Heiligabend/Chistmas Eve) and then we have Christmas the 25th and 26th. But for us the 24th is the most important day with going to church and having Dinner with our loved ones
I absolutely love to hear your choir sing
These types of wholesome Christian community vlogs are my new favorite!! Greetings from Northern Germany - If you ever need a German penpal, let me know:)
Greetings to you too. Oh my I'd be happy to write you 😊
It made me laugh when you cut the wrapping paper too short. A person hasn't wrapped many gifts if they've never done that before! I always enjoy your vlogs. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Every year maybe I'm a bit to eager with my cutting and wrapping 😂
I just adore u. U r such a sweet girl. I am so glad I found ur channel. Also I need all ur recipes lol
My husband and I started opening gifts Christmas Eve,I like the relaxed time in the evening. Our daughters, sons in law and grandchildren are with us Christmas day,its loud and busy!
we have always done it on Christmas Eve it defiantly is calmer.
Your choir sings so beautifully 🎄
Thank you for allowing me to see your traditions. Bless you and your community. East Greenwich, RI
I have enjoyed sharing your life this past year. If you decide to stop your blog for a while, you will be missed. Your Christmas blog is magical! Happy New Year, Sweet Girl!
Love the red dress!
My goodness you do the work of 5 people , don’t wear yourself down , you’re so young yet
I do try to remember that it's important to have breaks and that having a day that snot productive is also ok.
I keep wondering what house chores do the boys do? Besides taking out the trash. Do they ever make a bed or wash floors and windows. How about making food. Baking is fun for everyone. Do they ever make cookies or cakes?
The men have separate jobs/school. The women do the cooking and cleaning and don’t seem to mind the roles.
No we have the same schooling 😁..or am I understanding it wrong?
@@brecruz4832 don’t seem to mind or are given little voice in what goes on? There’s a difference ya know.
Good morning! It's 0540 over here in Alberta so I am sure you're at work already. I just wanted to say Thank you for dispelling all the many myths out there about Hutterite Communities! While some are still very old ways with no power, it's extremely rare. I also love love love that you treat your dog with respect as well. I have been a quiet watcher for a few days now and watching older videos. You do an amazing job :)
I find your vlogs very interesting. Allways happy when there is a new one. Thank you and a great 2021!
Thankyou happy new year to you too😊
I am binge watching your video's because I enjoy them and 2 it is currently + 35c outdoors and makes it very hard to do outdoor work. I thank you for your vlogs I have found them to be very informative and entertaining. Growing up we also opened our presents on Christmas eve to leave Christmas day to reflect on Gods gift to the world, enjoy family,and love family and friends. And of course the food is great lol. We aren't hutterite but njce to know we aren't the only ones that do this tradition. My dad is Norwegian and that is their tradition.
I have enjoyed y'all sharing Your Christmas ,My Favorite , Love you hear y'all sing and the food y'all prepare is wonderful Thank Y'all Very Much 🇮🇱💖( love m wife and I could be here with y'all 😇🎶🎵
Giselle, you're such a sweet and lovely person! Love watching your videos and freu mich immer, wenn ich dich Deutsch sprechen höre 😊
Alles Liebe aus Deutschland! 💓
Thank you for your wonderful vlog …I enjoy learning about about different cultures and religions, your vlog is very inspirational, does a wonderful job of breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions of what I had of Hutterites, looking forward to Christmas 2021!
May you have a merry Christmas and a blessed new year ! 🥰🎄Thank you for the beautiful singing loved it !
I need Kona!! The way he watches the game like a human is hilarious!
She wanted to play watching was almost not good enough 😆
Love kombucha. Always thought I didn’t like Keefer though. Maybe I’ll give it a try. Love your videos .
I think Kona/Cona would give them a run for it for that hockey puck! So cute!
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem was one of my Daddy’s favorite hymns.❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you Giselle for sharing this special time of year with us. Was such a joy to watch and I love love love the music. Please dont drink the dish liquid even though it did look delicious 😉😂🤣 that was funny. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year, God bless you and your family.
It was my pleasure to share this time with you. Oh no worries I won't drink it 😊. God bless you
thank you for sharing, I love all the singing. You don't seem to have a lot of snow for December.
Giselle, thanks so much for showing us your community's traditions and what not. Was just wondering...what did you have for your christmas day "christmas" meal? (forgive me if you included that info and I missed it). Also, the singing and Bible verse are so uplifting 🤗 God bless you ✝💙
Can’t wait to see this year’s Christmas festivities soon ❤️
You all have a beautiful Christmas week calibration. I would like some of your recipes as well as where to obtain a dress and blouse pattern.
This video has been very nice. Thank you. I’m watching the day befor Easter of 22.
👍🙃🙏🏻thx Giselle and merry Christmas 🎄
Love, love this vlog. How nice to see you resting and enjoying your time with a family.
Thanks so much for your videos . They are interesting and enjoyable . Happy New Year to all !
Happy New Year to you too 😊
How do clothes dry in the cold? Don’t they just freeze? I bought the Hertel soap you mentioned in another video because my hands are also pretty bad. It’s wonderful! I’m hoping to try out the devotional you got for Christmas that you show in the next video. It’s on my birthday wish list for next month :) thanks for making such wonderful videos and being such a diligent encouragement
Beautiful vlog! We begin our Christmas celebration the 24th as well. Christmas and the day after are home with family time for us. I wouldn't trade it for the world. God bless! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas 😊
I’m so excited for the holidays!!!
Very enjoyable Giselle. ❤️
I love honey glazed salmon with rice and asparagus. A restaurant that is no longer here, would serve that, soooooo good.
Very beautiful. Merry Christmas 🎅 and happy New year 🎉
Thank you! You too! :)
Love your videos. Hope you had a great christmas.
Thankyou and yes I did...I hope yours was wonderful too 😊

Kona stole the show on this one! ❤️ Her love of hockey shows she a true Canadian.
I’m glad you love cleaning. You are encouraging to me who hates it.
😊😊....
Hello Giselle ,i am FromGermany and I Love to Show your Videos,i Love all what we can Show of our live .It ist so intresting❤
Who shops for the colony's food? Is there a team of people that oversee that kind of thing? Also, how do they decide how much and of what each family needs and gets? Ty so much! I'm learning A LOT!! Why don't you use a mop?? Lol
Merry Christmas, Giselle! The dip looked delicious...your dog was hilarious cheering on the hockey game 😀
Yes it seemed like she was trying to tell them what to do 😆
Hi Giselle, I wish I can visit you sometimes. I love the song 😊
That would be nice 🙂

Does smoke salmon cook in smoke? I love salmon. My favorite is 5 fishes plus church mass. Make everyone happy
Merry Christmas Giselle and Happy New Year
Thankyou you too 😊
Giselle I have just recently started watching your videos. I absolutely love them and you Kona! What a wonderful job in making the videos as well. Thank you for bringing your life to many lives! Truly inspiring and the music so beautiful!!! Keep smiling 😊 👍 love from the South Carolina mountains. USA almost forgot… the food 😍 lol
I love the singing! And, as always, you inspire me to do my house work!
😊
Would you be willing to share your recipe for the gluten free crescents please. Yours look amazing.
That was really nice of the townsfolk to bring their parade by you all. I’ve wondered on past videos. The slices of fruit, it looks like oranges. Is that what they are? Are they freeze dried? I also wonder if there is a fragrance with them. They look dark, so I’m just curious. Thank you.
Hi Giselle, do you always have a male escort when going into town? Are any of the females in your colony able to drive cars? You always have such a joyful approach to your work. I really admire you for that. 😇 your parents must be very proud of you. Being the only daughter you have many responsibilities. I can tell you have a lot of fun with your youngest brother.
my brother or my dad usually drives me as I still don't have a licence (a few of our ladies do). aww thank you oh yes we get along just well I'm wondering if the oldest always get along best with the youngest? :)
@@gisellewaldner9406 my husband is the oldest of four boys and is closest to the youngest brother.
Watching this in August, wishing for your perogie dough recipe!!!!
Just what I needed...let’s brew some coffee.
The way you look forward to the vlog i look forward to your comment on every video 😁
@@gisellewaldner9406 v
Thank you for sharing
Your dog loves hockey! Lol
Merry Christmas. I love a good book too. Especially during winter when you can't be outside as much. Is everyone just shy to be on the vlog or is there another reason they don't care to have their face shown?
I think some are shy but, others don't want their face on social media thats all they said...I guess its understandable if they aren't comfortable with it. 😊
I love you so much!
awww you are so sweet :)
I SO ❤️ Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem!
Merry christmas, Your dress is lovely.
Thankyou 😊
In the intro I was seriously wondering how many cups of coffee you had lol
😁😁
You are so adorable and such an amazing person!!! How are you not married?! Lol 😂
aww thank you so much to be honest currently I'm kind of not interested and enjoying and getting the most out of my single days :)
@@gisellewaldner9406 Such a great idea!
I can hardly believe it !!!!! I seen someone other than you do something in the house!!!!! your brother dryer some dishes !!!!
Merry Christmas Giselle!
Merry Christmas 😊
The colour is so beautiful! ... it is raspberries?
I’m curious how many cars your community shares and how you decide when someone takes it. Is there like a sign up or something?
I don't own a mop, so I also use a bucket with a rag.
Hi Gisella
Do you all or individually fast and pray at times?
Hello, can you please share your gluten free recipe for this crescent rolls. What kind of flour you used? My son can't have gluten and the recipes I have tried they don't work for me. Thank you so much. Blessings
I think I might have left this comment somewhere else but you should wear goggles when you cut onions 🤣
Why do you wash the floors on your hands and knees instead of just using a mop ?
Do you refrigerate onions before cutting them? If they are cold they burn the eyes less.
Yes, we always have them refrigerated, its only so they last longer 😊
What is the name of the devotional you use every morning?
How many immediate family members do you have, and are you allowed to share first name, just out of curiosity?
So you clean your brothers room also, so men don't clean or cook at all?
Even if they do not cook or clean they still have jobs and work.
Do people in your community drive, own cars, or do you hire drivers?
This may have been answered in a previous video, but is it only the young girls who do all the cleaning and cooking? I never see older women participating and sometimes it looks exhausting for the younger ones.
yes -- it has come up from time to time ...from my memory LOL They start at around 16/17 with community cleaning and kitchen work and 'retire' at 40...at which time they are given other responsibilities as their health permits. The younger ones to the 'heavier' type work (in my opinion) because they have the energy to do it !!
House cleaning is actually a good work out. That is how I get in shape. It saves me money going to the gym. I live in an apartment and I have hard wood floors, cleaning them in hand and knees are better (the floor come out beautiful, and I guess it's my OCD)
( old mom here). You remind me of my Jean!
Half my comment disappeared! I was commenting on your energy level and exuberance....reminds me of my oldest, who I miss since she moved.
Why don’t you use a wet swiffer or mop to make it easier on yourself?
Where do you live? New to watching you and I’m hooked.
She lives in the state of Manitoba in the country of Canada within 2 hours drive of the city of Winnipeg .
I also got interested in her videos when my brother shared the link with me. I live in Winnipeg and watching her videos shared her community to the world made me realize how beautiful Manitoba is with all that open spaces.( I am originally from the Philippines and I really miss the mountains and hills which province of Manitoba do not have)🌹
Is it possible to get your recipe for the gluten starter you use? My grand daughter just found out she has Celiac disease.
Oh most definitely that was for the crescents right? (I want to make sure I send you the right one)
@@gisellewaldner9406 yes, the crescent one please.
@@mersea2 glutenfreeonashoestring.com/gluten-free-crescent-rolls/
this is the link for the cresent recipe. if you have any questions fell free to ask.
I remember the first time my brothers were told they had celiac we had nothing in our house that was gluten free and no experience at all so we had to learn fast. I do hope this helps.
Ty so much for this, Rylee will love trying this out.
Yes it’s funny I watched this one as I was curious as to how one would deal with it in a community like this and was pleasantly surprised to see you make a gf starter as I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. Is it something you have to deal with on your own, meaning your family has to prepare any gf stuff or would the kitchen people adapt stuff for gf people? Your vlog is so enjoyable 🙂. I think it would be awesome to be part of a community like yours! Bless ❤️
Can you receive mail or packages? I'd love to write to you as a pen pal? Also you are truly amazing.
Awesome sauce
I'm only five minutes into the video - you are ADORABLE!
Do you listen to anything while you're cleaning?
Always at times it helps motivate me.
How old is Cona?
