THE best
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." This quote helps me to explain how your videos are very meaningful to me. I used to only view winter as dark and dreary, but through your perspective, you teach appreciation for things surrounding you. You showed me the hidden beauty of long winter nights and snowy days. Now I look forward to the winter season as enthusiastically as the other seasons. 😊 I love all your videos! Your narration is lovely and you show everyone a different way to appreciate what is right in front of us. Winter now equals a warm blanket of coziness for me. I love the joy and peace you, Christopher and Grim, bring to every video. My husband and I are even putting up the string lights around our livingroom this year! (I never saw that coming lol) 😊 Very best regards! ❤

My daughter and son in law just bought a electric fireplace and I love it and I have noticed when it is on my 5 and 7 year old grandsons seem to calm down. I am thinking they may get mesmerized by the faux flame even has light inside 😊
I love going into winter with you! For the past few years I’ve been following you, I’ve tried to implement your beautiful attitude and perspective about winter into my own life. Obviously, we don’t get winter like you do, but I used to dread the onset of winter but you’ve helped me embrace the cold and our “dark” days. I just adore you and am so grateful to be with you on your adventures even from afar. ❤❤❤

Hi, Cecilia! I accidentally discovered your channel some months ago and I'm really really really impressed by your content! Your videos are just like you say..a beautiful fairy tale! Your channel became a favorite from the very first video! Greetings from Greece! 🙂
Now that I've seen the coffee supply in Svarlbard, I feel I would survive. I think Cecelia you might be doing much of the world a great service by showing how beautiful darkness and winter can be. I've resolved this year to write down each day something about winter that was lovely. It will not be easy. I noticed how much of the leaves are gone now after reaching peak color and that made me sad. But wait, now I can see deep into the woods! Ok, first thing to write. Love the new coat, looks great on you.

Under blue skies Magnificent carpets, Glistening in the sun, the snow lies; The transparent forest alone turns black, And the spruce turns green through the frost, And the river glitters under the ice.

What nature :), there's nothing there, not a twig, let alone a tree. OK, there is scrub; I watched a youtube on the least populated States, Alaska was way at the top of the list for less reasons than Svalbard. I immediately thought of Cecilia, who would be happy living on the moon.

I just wanted to send a quick hello! You introduced me to this Voluspa candle and I am addicted. Thank you for your content and hello to Christopher and Grim😊
Well, since I am doing IF, my first cup of coffee is at 11 am, with breakfast. I am with you in Svalbard, enjoying the Polar Night. Cecilia, you are a wonderful photographer/editor. I so enjoy your content. Now, you are part of my every week. It is late autumn here in Boston and we are starting to feel the winter chill. I am grateful for your hard work. You bring my 76 year old life much joy! ❤
Grimm looked so happy with his new jacket! He knows he looks handsome!
Sunday morning + Cecilia + coffee + baby and puppy snuggles = Perfection 🥰❄️☕️
Beautiful views! You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
Hi, Cecilia, Christoffer, and most of all, the star of the show, Grim, your world is fantastic, the colors of the landscape is amazing, no one can capture that on a paintbrush, thanks for sharing, I am a lakota from the Black Hills of South Dakota,
The crunch of snow underfoot is such wonderful sound.))))
Thank you so much for brightening my Sunday afternoons in Belfast. I enjoy the city, but my soul needs the cosy magic of the warm cabin by the sea and mountains 💗🪄 ✨🌛
You seem to be handling winter better than several years ago! Very good to see!
You make me feel at home. Your videos give me comfort in this crazy world.
Glad I found you through Jonna. Love to discover great vloggers & storytelling to enjoy and relax from all the crazy out there. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Sunday treat: coffee, sofa and Svalbard ❤ Thank you Cecilia, Christoffer and of course Grim for making our days more cozy and warm. My mom and I watch old videos all week waiting for new adventures !
The Polar night is so magical and I think that it has the power to bring a lot of joy and happiness!! This spectacle is unique and you are very lucky to experience it. Grim, Cecilia and Christoffer, you all are marvellous! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much.
Time with you 2Cs always makes me feel Christmassy a great cosy feeling
It's the calm atmosphere of life there. I come here to get away from the negativity of life in Britain. Thank you.
Cecilia you sure do know how to put together fabulous videos. I watch every Sunday and they never fail to make me smile. Thank you.
I love you Cecilia, Christoffer and Grim. Your videos are so cozy and comforting.
Congratulations on the red coat AND your new coffee pot. I hope both bring you additional joy in life!!!👍🤗
Buying something that 'solves all of our issues' is pretty cool. 😊
Let the cosy cabin days begin. That coffee maker is gorgeous, the red coat, gorgeous, Grim’s new jacket…gorgeous😊. He’s so sweet🐾🩵. And HP⚡️on the big screen. I think this will be another wonderful winter spent with you and your guys🩵and I cannot wait😉. Hugs to your crew from KY🧡
Your videos are like candy for the eyes. Love the landscape. 🧡
Cecilia, it’s like you live in a beautiful watercolor painting. You and Christoffer have certainly made what started out as a humble little cabin into a very cozy home. Grimm is very handsome in his new jacket and seems to have missed his calling as a model. 💙I also follow Jonna Jinton and was so happy you were able to help her . Two beautiful women supporting each other. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Thank you Grimm, Cecilia, and Cristoffer for the peace and joy.💗🍁❄️
Grimm looks great in his new outerwear. 😊 (and you too in your new jacket) 😉❤
I would love to go into Grimm’s mind to really find out why he is scared of hardwood floors 😂

It's not all hardwood floors, just that one corner of the cabin. I'm actually curious if maybe the wiring or vents run under there? For some reason that section is scary and dogs do have better hearing than we do.

When its snowy and twilight with those pink, oranges and blues ive never seen anything so stunningly beautifully. Lucky lady! Keep up the great videos!
Thank you for just being you and discovering your special gift of sharing life with the world. When I feel stressed out I will try to watch a video of yours because it calms me. I have to smile when Christopher is in the video because he is kind of like a straight man in a comedy duo.
I can't say it enough how much I look forward to your posts Cecilia every Sunday. Sometimes I will watch your episodes multiple times because i enjoy your adventures with Grimm and Christoffer. I'm super excited about your new coffee machine and I was literally giggling right along with you when you were unboxing it. Hopefully it makes some tasty coffee. Also thanks to you I too have a bit of a beanie obsession- absolutely love your style. Both your jacket and Grimbo's jacket looks fantastic on both of you. I'm looking forward to content from you every Sunday. God bless, stay safe, stay warm and most importantly stay CECILIA. Sending you XXXX from West Virginia.
Cecelia,your voice and videos are so calming! Thank you for sharing your world with us ❤ OK Byyyeee
I just want to thank you for living there and sharing with us. Not a chance in hell I could live with polar darkness. So without you I’d never get to see this beauty.
So, so cozy. I'm ready to book a flight now! I love this transition time into Polar nights, magical, still and your cabin so cozy.
This year has flown by, can't believe it is Polar night time already, your new coat looks so snuggly and warm.
Cecilia, you look fabulous in your new red coat.❤ Grimm also looks wonderful in his new coat. I hope you all stay warm and healthy! Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦.
Thanks, rather hilariously, "from" my dog. I love watching your videos because he gets CRAZY excited to see Grim! For dog treats!!
Yaaay!!! My favourite season is coming 😄 The snow, the cozy house lights everywhere. Amazing view as always Cecilia ❤❤❤
Love this weekly fix of Svalbard and its the highlight of my Sunday. Thanks, enjoying watching this with a coffee. ❤🙏☕️
So looking forward to spending my second polar night with you both, keep up the great work.
Grim looked so handsome in his new jacket 🦮❤
As a minnesotan, i’ve always dreaded day light savings time ending and it getting dark at 17:00 but your polar night videos make me appreciate the cozy winter darkness. now send us all the snow this winter! (climate change really has messed with Minne-Snow-ta).
Love that new espresso machine! Grim looks gorgeous in his new coat. I adore watching your videos and all the cozy vibes. Christmas cookbook? YES!
The content from this time of year is always amazing to watch! ✨ ✨ ✨
Omg, so cozy. I would probably just eat and watch netflix all day everyday and take a break just to look out the window.
I look forward to my Sundays with Cecilia, (Christofer when he appears in the videos) and Grim!😊
The snow ❄️ makes me instantly think about Christmas 🎄. It’s so pretty there! ❤
Thank you for sharing your slice-of-Svalbard-life videos - truly quite enjoyable and the highlight of the week!
Hello! 😊😊 I have been admiring the beauty of your places for a long time. but tonight we had an anomaly in the Urals of Russia and we also observed the northern lights, the culprit was a strong magnetic storm, a fascinating sight and frightening at the same time 😊
You live in a land of ever-changing picture postcards, and who doesn't love a postcard, so thankyou for sharing your extraordinary world with us.😊
I love this season in Svalbard, the scenic winter views are amazing, I can see why you like it so much. I am definitely looking forward to all the up and coming vlogs Thank you Cecilia, Christoffer & Grimm x
Absolutely beautiful and loved the shots where you showed the sky 🌌 at the same time each day for a few days! Enjoy polar night!
My third polar night with Cecilia & Ch+G❤❤
Cecilia, me and my hubby took an example from you and hung Xmas LED lights along our living room... WE LOVE IT and we use it all year round. It makes our space so charming and cozy, and it's the perfect lighting for watching TV. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I really calm down while watching your videos. Greetings from PL.
What a beautiful polar night❤
I absolutely loved this video!!! ❤❤❤ You seem to live in the most lovely, peaceful place in the world!!! Now I want to move there! 😂❤❤❤❤
Grim is the prettiest dog!❤❤❤ It is so beautiful there.
I so agree with you when you said this is my favorite kind of light, the softness of dusk, and I have to admit nighttime is my favorite time, so I think I would absolutely love being up there. Thank you so much for allowing us to see into your world, it is truly breathtaking!

You really live in a fairy tale.....💙My dog say hi to you all...especially Grim,byeee!!
Omg Cecilia THAT RED COAT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! My favorite color! It looks amazing on you !
This is my favorite light too! I love the brightness of it, even w/o any sun! The blue or pink is so beautiful! I don't have a dog because I travel a lot but I wish one of my kids was shaped like Grim so I could buy him a dog coat! 🤣 It is so cute!
Started following Cecilia during the last polar night, and didn't even realize they live on the water until a few months later! Love how they appreciate the cold, dark coziness!
I used the beginning of this video with my first grade science students to add more context to what it means for humans when the days get shorter during the winter! What a lovely video. They all want to visit Svalbard now!
Morning coffee with the moon ❤ the sound of squeaky snow is one of my favorites ❤
The sky with the pink, the snow on the mountains, even the silvery grey upper clouds ... it all looks like a beautiful landscape painting.
Hardy souls are you two! 4 months without proper daylight. I like your videos.
I adore the sound the snow makes under your feet.
My Sundays begin with your beautiful skies. Thank you
Grimm and the frozen fairy tale life, so beautiful!
4 months in the dark. You are very strong.
I was watching another video when the notification for this video popped up. Needless to say, I clicked on your video right away. Love your new coffee machine.
I don't remember how I found this channel but I'm so glad I did last year.
Love all you’re videos, so cozy🥰♥️
