And just like that, the Universe feels perfectly in alignment 😗👌 Merry Christmas Shaytards!! Another quality special in the books! Edit* Oh nooooo I deleted my comment to edit it like a big dummy and lost my ❤ 😭
I love that the older kids still like to hang with you all and not just their friends only! it just shows how much you guys have poured into them and their needs. Great Job shay and collette.
If I had to say one RU-vid family that practically raised me it would definitely be the Shaytards. I’ve literally watched both Brock and Daxtons birth videos and I still remember when Emmi was really little. You guys have grown up so beautifully and thank you for being there to make me smile and laugh for so many years and more to come. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR SHAYTARD FAMILY
my eyes literally watered seeing this on my youtube homepage. i've been watching these christmas videos since as long as i could remember, and now im 16 and still watching them. crazy how strangers on the internet could become such comfort and family for so long. thank you for everything shaytards:)
@@gonz3870 she could've been watching it since she was 4 years old. Watching something consistently from 4 -14 is actually very significant to a young person's personality
my christmas was pretty terrible this year so seeing this honestly made my day. Ive been watching the shaytards since I was like 8 (I'm 20 now) so this brought back lots of happy memories for me. its so crazy seeing everyone in the family so grown up, especially gage!!
I still can't believe how much they've all grown, I've watched since the first daily vlog on Shays 30th birthday I believe it was! Btw hope your next Christmas is better than this year!
My tradition every year is to sit down and watch the Shaytards Christmas Special. It's crazy to see that everyone is grown up, remembering Gavin being a young teenager and now he is 18 (crazy). The ending almost got me crying, not every Christmas is the same, but you guys still manage to pull off an amazing video. Thanks, guys, for ending 2021 with a banger and Cheers to 2022.
Its crazy to come back to this channel after not watching it in so many years. I used to frequently watch the ShayTards back in 2010/2011. I know there’s been some turmoil, but its great to see Shay and Colette in such a good place, as well as all the kids.
24 year old here who grew up watching you, and man did it make my heart sing to hear you whisper “Santa came!! Again!” Thank you for making these for us OG viewers. PS: Hearing Gavin swear feels very wrong. I swear he just started middle school 🤣
My family was separated this year during Christmas. We lost my dad almost two years back around the holidays, and my brother this year tested positive for COVID, so we couldn't all celebrate together. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face as I enjoy and look forward to watching these christmas specials every year, and watching these kids grow up. Love you guys!
Seeing another Shaytards Christmas Special with the whole family & seeing how happy you all are just makes my heart glow 🥰 Wishing you all a Happy & Healthy New Year 💖
Y'all have no idea how much better this makes my heart since the first one! You guys were more of a family than mine has been and I appreciate it more than you know. I'm now a mother with 2 kids of my own and you guys have shown me how to be amazing parents! Thank you for spreading love and positivity.
Amazing. I realized a long time ago that the reason I watch and enjoy these vlogs so much is because I never had this in my life. I guess you could say I watch these vlogs because Im living vicariously through them but also more than anything I want to achieve this for myself some day. My family was always broken and disfyunctional and for a long time I believed that family doesn't matter and I hated my family for a long time and I still kinda do, it's something Im trying to get over and move on from. Sad thing is everyone is grown up so it's kind of too late which is why I think the best thing I can do is just let go and move on, start my own family and do it right. God bless you, Shaytards. ❤🎄
You and me both Joseph!!! ♥️👌🏼♥️ Right after my Christmas, I go on RU-vid to have Christmas virtually through their family. The first few ones are my favs because it's so much nostalgia and I was still young 😭❤️💚
The favorite part for me of these is mom and dad looking at everything Santa brought before the kids get up it always makes me tear up. I wasn't sure we would get a Shaytards Christmas special and I am crying with joy!
Wow what an impactful video. I’ve been watching since I was 17 now 28. I used to wish I was a kid growing up in a family like theirs (only child) now wishing in adulthood I make my own family that close. Thank you shaytards.
I've loved watching these every year since 6th grade. I'm 20 now and can't believe how much has changed and how everyone's grown. You guys have such a beautiful family.
Coming from an abusive household, I have grown up with you all from the very beginning. I literally started crying watching this. I’m a little late but it feels so good to be home.
Holy blast to the past!!!! My heart is full after watching this, it means a lot that you all still celebrate pretty much the same way. So awesome your kids have sensed the joy they feel every year around this time and appreciate as much as the rest of us. You all bring a light and positivity that not many of us can express but all can feel. Your family has grown up so much and I'm extremely thankful to have some what experienced it with you all. You and all the family will continue to effect lives in a positive way for a long time I know it. Keep doing you guys thanks a ton!
Let's just appreciate how all the Mums have not aged a single day! What a beautiful family and beatiul memories made! Merry Christmas! - watched you all since the start
I'm Glad everybody is back together again like old times! That's what christmas is all about! being together! I hope you guys have a safe and Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!
Shay, Don't ever think that anything's "too long of a clip" You could upload hours and hours and we would enjoy every second. We are blessed that you share your family with us! -Edit, since you're reading comments, I just want to let you know how much of an impact you guys all had in my life since I was a kid, I've never been that close with my family so in a way I always looked up to you and saw you two as my parents and you were and still are my role model, Shay. A massive thankyou from the bottom of my heart for in a way, Bringing me up and teaching me valuable life lessons and morals along the way, and that has made me who I am today. You are all always appreciated and loved
Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us all! I've been watching since the early years when Emmi was baby tard and sweet Malachi was around. Time is so precious and our memories are what we will have to cherish one day. I appreciate all the laughter and joy you're family has brought me over the years. May God continue to bless you always.❤
It blows my mind that I’ve watched your videos since I was 14 lol…I am 27 now and every time I watch another Shaytards video, it reminds me how fast time goes. It feels like just yesterday this crazy journey started. Love you Shaytards ❤️
OG viewer here. Crazy how many years it’s been. 22 years old now and have watched you guys since I was 15 or 16. Wow. Crazy. Yeats have passed. Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦❤️
im genuinely getting emotional watching this video. been here since the early days, and i feel like i’ve grown up watching these episodes (currently 18). you guys make all the viewers feel like we’re a part of your family and welcome to spend christmas with you guys-even when we don’t have close family and our christmas may have been underwhelming. thank you for all you’ve done for us
The fact that I was gavins age when I stated watching y'all, and now I'm 30 years old with kids of my own and still check youtube from the same account for the shaytards Christmas special!!! Is mind blowing. So blessed to have a watched Your family grow and thrive and soo many successes!

I don't have much family, its just me and my mum. Seeing your family just fills me with such joy. I definitely live vicariously through you and your family, thanks for lettings us in 🥺🙏🌲
Had to stop myself crying multiple times throughout this! And Shay, clips are NEVER too long in a Shaytards vlog! I've watched you guys since I was 12, I'm a fully fledged 27 year old doing Nursing now! Soooo happy to have you guys to unwind to again. My current dream is to visit Pebble Creek one day, I miss Skiing so much here in Ireland! Anyway, I love you guys! You have no idea how happy your family makes me! 🥰
this was so emotional for me for no reason. i’ve been watching you ever since i was six years old! i’m 15 now, you guys have been my comfort youtube family. i love watching your christmas specials, it always brightens my day and christmas spirit! seeing everyone so grown up especially daxton and brock!! i love watching your guys videos so much ❤ thank you for being my comfort youtube family
I don’t think u understand how much this video means to me. It’s so nice to have u guys back. I grew up watching these and every year the one thing I was most excited for each christmas was this. During the darkest time of my life, u guys were there to put a smile on my face. I know u don’t know me but THANK YOU.
Merry Christmas Shaytard family. This makes me so happy. A little tug at my heart when Gavin said you'd be cleaning up the dog poop after Zeke got that big steak.......One of my very first videos of yours is when Gavin was outside doing chores picking up Malachi's poop. Lol so wholesome but no it really did make my heart feel bittersweet. God bless you all! Thank you for letting us into your lives even after all these years. ❤❤❤❤
i have watched these every year. i love them. i always wait for them. christmas isnt the same without them. i love you guys so much. your family has helped me through so much.
It was so nice to see you guys and some tears were shed. Don’t think you realize how much of an impact you have had on so many people. You guys gave that “family feel” that many of us don’t have. Thanks for sharing your family with us Shay. 🤍
This brought happy tears to my eyes I hope your family knows how much we all appreciate these videos. They truly make my Christmas feel whole. Merry Christmas Shaytards thank you for everything you do!
As a restaurant server since I was 16 years old (a whole 9 years!) I can tell you that your generous tip was SOOOO appreciated! Tips are so hit or miss around the holiday season. That for sure made your server’s whole week!!! Love you guys so much, been watching since 2010!
Would you be offended if you weren’t tipped? I ask because I would be very reluctant myself as a non American. I don’t see why I should subsidise wages of employees because their employer can’t. Most of the world sees the tip culture in the US as pretty insane.
@@Horizon301. I understand that America is very different on that, and I also understand your reason for being reluctant on tipping. However, we unfortunately cannot do anything about the pay, and someone has to do the job. So if you prefer to not tip then I don't think you should eat at a restaurant in America. Your server shouldn't have to be punished financially just because your custums do things differently!
Woke up Christmas Eve sick, tested positive for covid. Didn’t get to see my family and have been isolating with my boyfriend who also has it (we live together) so thankful for this Christmas magic to watch. Merry Christmas xx
I’ve been watching these since I was 9 and to still be watching this now is INSANE! Especially as a 21 year old.I always look forward to these every single year. Feels like I’ve grown up with y’all 💙
I check in every few years on you guys. I am happy to see you all still together, and more real than ever. I think most of us know what you have all been though to some extent and who and why. I am glad forgiveness and hard lessons were learned and more respect has grown from it. Wish you all the best.
Shaytards was my first ever channel subscription on You Tube. I had never even heard of You Tube before and got an ipad and found this beautiful family. Of course I was immediately hooked. I saw Shay talking in the freezer and have literally watched your kids grow with mine. I love you guys so much. Thank you for all the joy, positivity, and honesty you have shared throughout the years. God Bless You Shaytards and Merry Christmas!
I've been watching the vids since Shay started making them and I agree with Avia: Shay is a born RU-vidr. Also, Colette just gets more and more lovely. What a beautiful lady, inside and out.
Collette!! I am so extremely happy to discover your channel here on RU-vid! I came across a video of you and your sister singing beautifully along with your father, which greatly touched me and then I remembered I use to watch you, Shay and the kids many years ago. I subscribed! Thank you for sharing this video of you and your family with all of us, brought smiles ❤️😃 God bless you! 🙏🏼
Okay I just feel so old right now... I am 16 and I just watched this and all the kids are growing up so fast! I grew up with you guys! I remember being 10 years old and going on RU-vid on Christmas eve and watching the Christmas specials and seeing the kids faces light up on Christmas day when they opened their gifts! This was so nostalgic for me
this is awesome. I've watched a shaytards Christmas special since the first year. I'm so happy to see your family happy and healthy this holiday! and so glad you picked up the camera to share with the rest of us ♥
Wow i am so proud of mommytard. She has overcome that mountain and forgave and stuck through. You are amazing❤️ that is the love of Christ. So many of go through that on the daily! Give us some insight 🙏🏼
