My 4 year old daughter watched this with me. She said the northern lights look like colorful wind. And when she saw you chopping wood, she said, "I thought only boys could do that!" I assured it that girls can definitely chop wood too! Thank you!

It’s 2023 and girls still grow up thinking like this. I’m glad she got to see an independent woman.

A girl who has lived 4 years with such thoughts has a mother that isn't doing enough to show her what is possible for her future.

Cute🙂 how precious. And please completely ignore whoever replied to your comment and somehow twisted your sweet story into a negative comment towards you. My goodness that just cheesed me off. Get your mind straight odd commenter person! And you enjoy your sweet girl's innocent and beautiful perspective on life❤️

You nailed it, in my 30s I felt better in my own skin and in my 40s I felt like I had it sort of figured out. In my 50s I realized how great I was in my 30s and 40s - now in my early 60s I feel like I had silly priorities. I say, embrace each decade to the fullest no matter what!

In my 30s I was career & retirement focused, in my 40s I added community service, in my 50s I zeroed in on being able to retire in my early 60s and now, in my 70s, I wonder how on earth I put up with all the BS I needed to in order to survive the 30s - 50s……also, I am desperately trying to get rid of all the STUFF I accumulated during my 30s and 40s😵💫🙄😂
Imagine not needing any relaxing sounds for sleep. She already has the sound of wind and snow fall, I love her channel!

I watch her to fall asleep at night. So relaxing
As someone who loves both the dark and the extreme cold and comparative solitude, this life, this existence, would be pure heaven for me.
Happy birthday, Cecilia 🥳 Svalbard Sundays have become ritualistic in our home, and we are so grateful to have found your channel ❤

Happy Birthday! My cat watched nearly the entire video! About 5 minutes after the start, he walked over and sat right by the screen and watched until the very end! Your dog caught his attention. This is not his usual behavior. He really liked the show!

HAHA my house panther does the same thing. So funny to see the cats enjoy Svalbard.
I told my daughter about finding your channel. I explained what your situation is and all the things you show us in your cozy cabin, in the village and on your adventures. She is GenX and a Capricorn so has a tendency towards doubt and negativity and said, "Mom, you know that it's all just set up to look that way to get likes and clicks." I laughed and said, "Polar night isn't 'made up', wood fires, chunky blankets and candles ARE cozy and delightful - I'm sure she has them all the time in that cold....and on like that. I do think that your channel only appeals to certain types of people and I am happy to be one of those people!! Can't wait for more.
I have always loved the sound of the snow crunching under foot on cold crisp quiet nights.
The way you record I’m always surprised I never see any of your equipment which makes your videos even more magical but I’m sure it’s a lot for you to bring this content without that presence to us so thank you ❤

Happy birthday! I want to thank you because I struggle very much with seasonal depression here in Wisconin winters and you being open and honest in the past about how you approach the drastic seasons has really helped/inspired me. I now have lit my home woth cozy lights and flameleas candles and look forward to slow mornings and evenings. I appreciate you, your insight and all the hard work you and Christopher put into these videos. Thank you for helping me take a different view point about the darkness 🎉

Hey fellow Wisconsinites!! 👋 I started treating myself to extra comfy blankets and candles due to Cecelia. She has such a beautiful take on embracing the seasons. 💫
As an American many married couples that I know use only one blanket, but I totally agree with having separate blankets. I move around a lot at night and need my own blanket. It works so much better. It keeps my husband and I from fighting. 😊

As an American-German I can tell you that I finally convinced my boy-friend to have 2 blankets. We are in Tahoe. I need a really heavy blanket and he always rolls himself like a mummy into the blanket. Definitely 2 blankets time. 🙂
I think that light anomaly is a drone -- it looks like it's being carried or launched at the beginning of your footage. Maybe someone else shooting gorgeous polar night footage? I love this channel -- the light, the fellow snow lover, the darkness, animal content ...all of it!

I don't know how you do it, but anything you do seems so interesting and cool. I mean you enjoy every single moment and obviously this is what we see! Keep on, you are amazing!
Happy 34th Cecilia! 🎉🍰 It gets even better (I'm 72!). 😅 You live in a Nordic paradise. I 💙 Polar Nights, the beautiful Nordic hygge vibe. And everyone needs time alone, it's healthy, a time for quiet reflection. I love living alone, snuggling with my 2 cats, curled up with a good book and favorite cup of coffee. Enjoy your week of solitude and have a wonderful and very hygge birthday 🎉🍰 with the adorable Grim. ❤🐾 ( I was very pleasantly surprised when my DNA analysis stated that I am 1% Swedish (🤯). I do have naturally creamy-white blonde hair, fair with blue-green eyes. Weird! 😅
I loved so much how this felt like a cozy girls chat and weekend hangout, decorating the house a bit, taking a lovely walk- I always appreciate your company and love having your videos on while I groom my own massive doggies - happy birthday as well!!
She's so authentic, I love her
Ah the blue light is beautiful. Sun sets here at 3.45pm now, just love the cozy dark late Autumn/Winter evenings. Happy Birthday Cecilia. I'm 52 in January & still figuring it out 😂
YAY! Sunday Svalbard day with lagom cabincore vibes!!!! Best day ever!
Your videos always help me embrace winter in Chicago. Seasonal depression can be brutal. This helps
Morning cecelia & grim 6.30am here in England Morning cuppa in bed hot water bottle pretty fairy lights on & a few moments with you on your channel seeing your cosy home at top of our beautiful Planet Earth 🌏 what a thing the Internet is! Thankyou ❤️
Happy Birthday Cecilia! I remember being in my thirties and loved it. While never meeting my life goals as I wanted, I’m very thankful for making it to 70. Loving the blue light at 2 pm! We complain about daylight saving time going away for the winter, but I love to see what the Scandinavians do to decorate their homes for winter and live the candles and ambience! ❤

I hope you met some goals? Goals are only the things we decide upon beforehand. Maybe life had some beautiful surprises in store for you? ❤
Happy Birthday Cecilia! I love living vicariously in the arctic through your vlog posts. I've learned so much about life during Polar Night and Polar Day and how to deal with extreme conditions both with grace and appreciation. It's because of you that I'll never complain about -5 C winter days ever again. No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

I’d love to have a cozy cabin day on Svalbard. A cup of coffee I front of the fire sounds great! happy birthday Cecilia!
Little Grim is living his best life!!!
The best Sunday perk, Svalbard beauty, Cecellia and Grim!!
Happy birthday Cecilia! Your vibrant personality is truly stark contrast to the darkness of polar night! Thank you for sharing the beauty of Svalbard at this time of the year!
I searched for other bloggers that may live on the island and only your videos showed up !! You’re showing us something rare to see since no one else is vlogging it for the world. I love to relax to your videos.
I love being 44, you still look young but wiser and you know who you are better than you had ever thought. Happy Birthday!
Can’t think of a better way to spend a cozy Sunday morning! Thank you! Happy happy birthday - you, in this world, is a wonderful thing! ❤️
Sunday morning cup of hot chocolate + watching your Svalbard Polar Night cabin video = ❤️ This makes for a lovely, slow start to my Sunday. Happy Birthday Cecilia! 🎉🎉
Love how you said you’d be going to bed early and then start airing and sweeping at 11.30pm! 🤣 Brilliant!….Oh, I think you just put 11.30pm rather than am! Silly me! Happy birthday to you Cecilia. We love you and have followed you for a couple of years now! ❤️
Happy birthday, Cecilia! I am now 59, but my 30’s were by far my favorite decade! I felt exactly like you explained. I also am loving my 50’s though. I think we all get to the point where we no longer care what others think of us & my 50’s have been that for me. It is incredibly freeing & peaceful. Stay well & safe. Hugs to Grim 🐾❤

Happy birthday, fellow Scorpio! What a cozy day! I love the sound of the super cold squeaky snow! Reminds me of playing in the chilly Ontario, Canada winters as a kid! 🌨️❄️🇨🇦
I gasped when I saw the mountain backdrop. It looks like you are living in a painting. The world is insanely beautiful and one day I hope to see this part of the world. With love from Delaware, USA 🇺🇸
Thank you, Cecilia! It's been such a joy living out my dream vicariously through you. I'm too old now to entertain thoughts of making it come true for me, so your videos give me so much to look forward to. I wish you a joyful birthday! Love to you and Christoffer and Grim! ❤️

I saw something similar in Switzerland in Fribourg. It was green and did a really weird up and down then horizontal FAST MOVEMENT. No clue what it could be.
I love watching these on Sunday, love to you all 💕
Happy Birthday, Cecilia! Beautiful video!
Happy birthday, Cecilia! I absolutely love your videos. Thanks for sharing the joy ❤️
My wife and I so enjoy watching your videos every Sunday. We really look forward to it and I get warned not to watch without her. While watching this video, my wife (Lori) said she really appreciates that you show what it takes to keep up your cabin and you don't try to make it seem that everything is always perfect. You and Christopher really seem to be authentic and I think that's what draws us to you and your videos. Also, you live in an amazingly beautiful place (we are a little envious). Anyway, thanks for sharing your life with us and Happy Birthday! P.S.- Give Grim extra pets from Texas.
Happy birthday Cecilia!! Im a November baby too ❤30's was my best decade for sure, although my 40's has been more about becoming comfortable in my own skin, accepting my body shape/size and not feeling so insecure constantly. Nearing my 50's now, which is terrifying 😂 Having a dog definitely makes a difference if you're alone, I know I felt secure when my partner worked nights as Nala would alert me to anything. Our fur babies are so key to our happiness and safety, we are so lucky to have them❤

Don't be afraid of your 50s, dear one. Menopause, once it comes (for me - it was in my 50s), is a freaking revelation!!! It is a whole different world on the other side. Much happier and peaceful. I just hit 60 this year and so far, best year of my life. Whoever said... "Come, grow old with me - the best is yet to be" really got the memo :D
