The polar night snow storms have arrived in full force on Svalbard! There is always something extra wild about high winds and snowfall, when there is no daylight. We do our best to prepare the cabin, but still wake up to freezing temperatures! Thank you so much for being here and I hope you enjoy the video! Merry Christmas 🌟☕️

Dear Cecilia. Thank you for sharing. One of my ancestors, Theodor Lerner, was actually a journalist and polar Explorer. He let various expeditions to Svalbard. He spent the polar Night of 1907 in a small wooden Cabin at Cap Boheman with Hjalmar Johansen who had participated a few years earlier in the famous North Pole Expedition of Nansen. Unfortunately, I have still not managed to Visit. Greetings from Germany!

THIS is what I imagine when I think of living in Svalbard… harsh conditions. Obviously you deal with it for a small part of the year but I’m so grateful your content has shown me the other 90% of your realistic life there. Before I would’ve just thought this is all that you experience. Now I know how beautiful it truly is for a majority of your time there (not saying snowstorms aren’t beautiful but let’s be real, they’re not ideal lol) and I definitely understand having to tough out these conditions for the reward you’ll get in late winter/spring. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us Cecilia. It means the world to me as someone from Los Angeles that has no grasp on how to survive in the conditions you do, that you share your content with us and just want others to experience the joy and happiness you feel being there. I feel it, and I love it. Thanks again, Cecilia!

On a different topic iv been following a true crime case from there in Moscow with the 4 students😔it's so sad and heartbreaking I really feel for the families involved and people in the areas.. I hope they get them soon! Anyway, I hope you have a great Christmas from Ireland, happy holidays ✌🏼

Loved every bit of it - thank you again for your hard work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤And Grim 🥰 PS - I think you will really love “A Winter’s Tale” by Mark Helprin. It is wonderfully, masterfully written, with marvelous characters - including a magical, beautiful horse. It is a story woven over a couple of hundred years, takes, based in New York and the surrounding areas of the Bayonne and Ellis Island. Ultimately, it is a story of birth and rebirth in the fabric of our lives.

@@jakrispy5918 You might get less annoyed if one thinks of "Happy New Year" is one in the holiday pair, and the lyrics do not sound right with saying "Happy Christmas" , nor would MC&HNY sound right singing the song. I personally get bent out of shape when, in a Christian State of PA, people sometimes say HH because it seemed like folk have fear, that being PC is paramount as to not offend non-Christians. There is an example where the word "incorrect" does not warrent the modifier "very", which is humorous, but for the joy of the Season, I will skip it. (Season? Oh, Seasons Greetings.

Why do you not burn coal in stove? Heat generation is twice or more than wood.. you still have a coal mine there?? Also, if you have an external air intake to the fire place the room temperature can be maintained with less fuel used..

Why is it you aren't using coal? I know hard wood is clean, perhaps the cleanest burning fuel. Heat + water = perfect Heat. Here from Northern Michigan, our heat is propane, but inside is a coal heater with a continuous tank of water. It keeps our house toasty on the coldest, 14 - 20 below f. night, heat with moisture penetrates our soul. Stay warm up there in snowman country. We are settling in here for a 3 point snow storm, to bring high winds and a lot of tons of snow. I like this channel, it is insight into living in the northern most reaches of Earth.

It's midsummer here in New Zealand but I love seeing how you live and the whole white Christmas thing during polar night. Grim and Fenris are such stars. My little Chihuahua mix would refuse to go outdoors in such a cold climate. Grim's sheer delight in being outdoors with you with all the fascinating scents and sounds is so intrinsically canine. Ears up, tail wagging, nose sniffing - he's such a lucky well loved dog.

Dear Cecilia, when I heard that it had started to have storms there I immediately thought of you and your dog. How are you and your friends and loved ones? I hope they are all right. Storms are bad especially during the season, they might make you feel like you have a flu staying in with all the lights. Please have a cup of nice chocolate this Christmas and take it easy with some music. They might make you feel better. With love and more power to your channel, NR. Edit: the views are breathtaking and reminds me of the times when I go for my 4am walks. It's like a free gift of light show and it still makes memories each time; the feeling of solitude and togetherness with the stars.

Definitely adding Year of the Hare to my TBR. I also am not a fan of Coleen Hover and couldn’t understand the hype. Polar nights seem like a perfect time to read and with the fire roaring too is does make it so cozy. Have a wonderful Christmas!!

Always look forward to seeing you. Sometimes I feel like I’m right there with you, like when it’s -43 Celsius overnight here and -31 in the day. The joys of living in Saskatchewan, Canada. Hit drinks and good books, that’s the way to do winter.

What a magical hike that was! You should get Grim a doggie backpack, so he could help you bring snacks up. Or maybe he could bring his own wool blankie, so he wouldn't have to lie down on the snow. And the gingerbread houses are so cute! I love your videos. It's like having news from far away friends. Glad you house stays cozy even though it's blowing outside. Stay warm and see you on the 25th!

I understand why you would walk your dog in the storm .... your accustomed to the weather. You have the correct inner clothing and outer clothing. I live in South Texas, and we have the correct gear for our environment. It was over 100 F during the day for 3 months . We adapt by using fans, drinking water. Light linen clothing. We have adapted and don't mind working outside in the heat.

Loved the whole vlog, including the music! Such beautiful creations! Bet you had good fun together!! Grim is probably becoming the best-known dog in the world 😘Grim From an animal-lover professional who loves Grim: he’s having insecurity about traction on the floor in some areas. Providing a traction path with rubber (narrow rubber-backed hallway rugs at entrance spots, or another creative idea) will be a comfort to him. If he’s still due for his annual vet visit, if they can get his claws shorter (or Christoffer can), that will also help him walk on his pads, not click across floors. I understand trimming enough can be difficult, and claws help in snow/ice. But his are overgrown and that creates its own problems on joints, etc. My gift of love for your dear boy! ❤
