Happy Holidays to all the people that following this awesome channel, and a "special" Season Greetings to the person that made all this possible. Merry Christmas Lyss & Rio!!!

You're never truly alone if you have your faithful dog with you. Merry Christmas.

Alone? Maybe, but you do have all of us on this wonderful channel and I feel it safe to say that is a lot of love and gratitude for you and your work on our behalf. Thanks for"feeding" us bringing us into your home and taking us on grand adventures. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a prosperous New year to you and Rio.😊

Lyss sweetheart, this video represents the epidemic of which an increasing number of individuals are experiencing - aloneness. Whether by choice, or not, less people are connecting and more of us are longing for connection (ie. companionship, love, etc.)! Thank you for your beautiful video, as I am also alone this Christmas, although I don't want to be. Thank you for sharing your wonderful dinner, it was so scrumptious and filling! You are truly helping so many people out there to feel less alone, and that means the world to me!💚 Thank you & Merry Christmas🎄 and Happy New Year!

This is my first Christmas alone. I didn’t decorate or really embrace it, you kind of inspired me to hang some lights tho and grab something to make a special meal. Appreciate your videos! Now I will enjoy the relaxation of no expectations, read my new Mary Oliver book of poetry, a gift to myself, and reflect. I hope you and Rio have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Alyssa, and a shout out to all of us who have no one to enjoy the holidays with.

❤ Oh baby girl, you're never alone. You've got Jesus, lots of Angels, Rio and all of us !!! Thank you so much for helping make our lives more enjoyable !!! We all love you sooooo much !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS Baby !!! Thank you for your healing energy !!! Love and Peace to all !!! ❤🗯❤️🗯❤🗯❤🗯❤🗯❤🗯❤🗯❤🗯❤🗯

Hey Lyss, as Christmas Eve approaches, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. Your presence on UKposts has been a source of inspiration and joy in my life. Your authenticity, kindness, and the content you create have impacted me in ways you may not even realize. Thank you for being a beacon of positivity and warmth. Wishing you a Christmas Eve filled with the same joy you've brought into the lives of others. Cheers to you and the incredible impact you make! 🎄✨ P.S. Where'd you put that thingy I got you? I don't even know what to call it lol.

I love the added touch of the food disappearing off of "our" plate as well. Merry Christmas, Lyss! You are loved. ❤🙏🏾

Awww.💖🌲💖 Rio is beautiful! The snow makes Christmas feel like Christmas🌲Rio doing zoomies in the snow, is so cute. She looks happy & so cozy & at home. Any update on the other doggie, you found the perfect home for?

Merry Christmas and Yuletide greetings to all!! Wishing you all have a safe and happy holiday and a Magical New Year!!! 🎄🎅🏻❄✨🥂🎉

Merry Christmas Lyss and Rio! ☺️🎄And Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday ☺️

On December 29th 2023 at 11pm eastern' I had dinner with you. That was by far one of the most beautiful thing's I have ever seen a creator on you tube do. Thank you! Very heartfelt. One question please. Have you always loved to cook? That looked incredible. Happy new year.your friend from PA. Pebs .

No fear, girl. I spend all my holidays and birthdays alone. It's not a big deal.

Hey reckless. Rick here from the Midwest what you’ve done with that old house is beautiful taking your time and doing things away is supposed to be good. The decor and the atmosphere in there must be wonderful. I don’t know what you’re doing for Christmas but I’m here to tell you merry Christmas and have a happy and prosperous new year, stay focused on your what you’re doing cause it’s a good thing merry Christmas

My computer froze at 1:21, you should see the intent in Rio’s eyes, sweet sweet Girl🐾💖🐾blessed, peaceful Christmas🕊😇🙏🏻🎄💖⭐️

Can’t believe you’d choose to spend Christmas alone. I know you have a Mother. You’ve had her on here. I’m sure she’s missing you. Life is short. All the memories you don’t make. You never get a chance again. Family is everything. Don’t leave them out of your life. Best wishes to you. Merry Christmas. 🥰😍🎅🧑‍🎄🎄

So sweet and cozy. A tip for the wood stove window: a damp paper towel dipped in a bit of ash from the stove will scrub all the soot off for a crystal clear view of the fire. We do ours every morning to enjoy the dancing flames all the better! ❤🔥❤

I really feel like I just had dinner with you. So special and touching. Thank you Lyss and Rio ~✨Merry Blessed Christmas! ✨🎁

Tonight I stumbled across your stories. Your growth and discovery of self love resonates in me. As does your new chapter of living in the mountains. It brings memories of living at 10,152 feet, a long time ago. Love, peaceful solitude and warm connections for 2024❤️🙂!

Merry Christmas Lyss. Your video brought me to tears...in a good way. My wish six months ago was to make it to Christmas. Your videos played a big part in me staying positive during some extremely difficult times. I don't know if I'll see another Christmas, but cancer didn't cheat me out of this one. I hope that your 2024 is an amazing year and I'll be praying for you. You have truly been the Lamp unto my Feet more often than you can imagine. Again, Merry Christmas.

I’ve been following you for sometime. This is the first time I’ve ever sent a message. I just want to say thank you, I haven’t been in a good place for sometime. I always look out for your videos, you never fail to put things into perspective. Also put a smile on my face, which isn’t easy for a 60 year old grump man. Merry Christmas Looking forward to 2024

Rio looks happy like you. Thank you for loving Rio to bits andI hope that Christmas in your new home was as bright and beautiful as you, and thank you for sharing.

Alyssa, the music you start the video with and everything about your videos draws us in with such warmth. Thank you and, Merry Christmas!

If I lived near by, I'd pop round, take Rio for a wander and return her to you, then say Good Evening, have a sweet Christmas, spend it online with your loved ones, you're a beautiful soul BTW. Hope love finds you and it's just right for you. Here's to 2024.

Such a beautiful and peaceful video! Merry Christmas to you and Rio, and to all who watch you lovely channel!!💕🧑🏼‍🎄🐾🎁💕

There are a lot of guys who wish they were sharing that meal with you. Enjoy this time to yourself. Being with you is special so enjoy.

Enchanted…the home you have created with Rio is simply enchanted….you are never alone with Rio by your side ♥♥♥ Merry Christmas! Thank you for the glimpse into your corner of the world. I wish I could smell all of the wonderful fragrances of the oranges…pine…cinnamon…all your baking. 🎄

Merry Christmas - For Much Love, Hope, Peace, Including New Blessings and Wealth in The New Year to Come.

Alyssa, I hope that you and Rio have a very BLESSED and MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎅And remember, it really doesn't matter if we are alone as long as our hearts are open to the many blessings we have been given. As always, BIG HUGS and much ❤from Tennessee! Btw, still waiting on that PO Box address...

Bow your heads 😌 and give thanks for this bountiful harvest that will nourish body, mind, and soul...Amen 🙏🏻✌🏻❤️🎄😊🌠

I love visiting with you at your cottage! You truly make us feel we are sharing a special time with you. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays! With Rio you’re never alone.

One thing you are not and that is alone. We are all here with you.

My old dogs use to love Christmas ! They would get under the tree and find their own stockinged. The booties for Rio are perfect for Wyoming winter ! My little French Brittany, she literally was walking on her front feet because her back get were cold at -20°F . I so miss the beauty of Wyoming and can't wait to get back. I love your videos! Why did you not show your friend who came to help out ? MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄

Merry Christmas everyone, happy new Year and enough drinks 😂🎉

Thank you Alyssa and beautiful Rio. So kind you are and so sweet. Thank you child. Angels watch over you!

May the true meaning of the Christmas season warm your heart and comfort you

Just saying thanks again for including us in your time. I like that😊. Being not so alone is nice.

I wish you find someone who you can love you like you want to be loved. Just don't forget to love him back. I don't celebrate holidays but I hope yours are Happy!

You’re so beautiful and strong I will never forget you during dark times ❤❤❤❤❤

I've been sat alone all day. You video has cheered me up. I don't know how you can spend so much time alone !!!! Rio looked so cute high fiving. Hope you have A GREAT holidays. 🎉🎉❤❤

It's been so long since we've had a fresh snow fall on Christmas eve or even Christmas day here. That same system is supposed to doing in rain for Christmas 🎄here. I checked the weather radar and sure enough it'll be here probably early Christmas morning. To bad the temperatures 🌡 are in the 60's here. Your so lucky to have that mind set on Christmas eve, fresh snow ❄️. Rio was a happy girl with all her stuff. I think the ham bone won out for now. Her eyes was big as diamonds. Hope you and Rio have a very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄and a great New year. Peace 🙏

I came across your channel 3 days ago and I’m completely obsessed with your content! Thank you for sharing your life, thoughts, inspiring hope & motivation, and for being such a positive, beautiful & vibrant soul 😊❤️

I wish I had a beautiful kind woman like you in my life........maybe our paths will meet this year...life sure is one fantastic ride isnt it?....through all the ups and downs of life itself if you tread the storm and keep your head above water you will always come out the other side to witness God's plan for you!!!!!!! keep the faith gorgeous you are on the right path!!!! Merry Christmas to you!!!!!!!!!!! The world is so BRIGHT with you in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Christmas to everyone who .Iives alone. Have a nice day.

Same snowy day over here in Pine. Enjoying coffee, looking out the windows at the mountains and rocks, some Christmas music in the background, fire in the Lopi stove, & spinning up some ideas to get out local for a few hours for some Chritmasy photog. Maybe some fat bike in The Pike..... Have a wonderful eve, & Christmas.......................................

Happy Christmas to everyone here! Have a Happy New Year! My wish for all is health, a satisfying life and people and of course dogs to share it with! Or cats or reptiles whichever you choose! Remember we are all in this crazy thing called life together. ❤❤❤❤

Thanks Lyss! Was actually really in my feelers, as I was sitting down eating my own Christmas dinner alone. The interwebs are strange in how they allow perfect strangers to communicate. Lol. Any rate, hope you and Rio have a majestic holiday!

I don’t celebrate Christmas in my new walk as a Christian….however, I do love how ppl decorate and create the vibe….I love your decorations, Orange slices and pine bunches. 😊

My darkness is in my deep loneliness. This made me feel very dark, seeing you alone, while I sit here watching alone. There is no true connection in this digital world.

I love your videos, there so many that are by themselves. You show it's ok. It's so mean to know yourself and being happy.

I really enjoyed this video and its message. The three days of the solstice have been dark for me in so many ways, but today and watching your video I am hopeful for better days to come. Also I have had an exceptional response to my last video ( small in comparison to your channel) and I had so many kind words from strangers I thought I should pay it forward. Keep up the good work.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas Alyssa, Rio & all of her awesome community!! Caught a video of you playing with Rio a couple years back at a time I was really missing my pup. Instantly fell in love with your content. Your video's made me realize that I haven't taken a moment to reflect on my surroundings in a while, thank you. You have an amazing personality & I truly admire how you approach life, handle situations & most of all your honesty. Keep up the great content please.

The story of Rio's history & adoption touched my heart deeply years ago, it brings me such joy to witness her beautiful, loving life! Thank you, Lyss. ❤️

that's pretty cool the the food on the guest plate was being eaten along with you- that was a very nice touch

happy holidays alyssa, to you from me on christmas. i dream of sharing that meal with you and rio! thanks alyssa, for being you. -martin.

It is amazing on how well Reo behaves and well trained And so sorry your spending christmas alone, that is so sad🙁 Too late now but you sooooo could have come spent christmas with my family and I

How are you so strong, so wise? I am old… and tired… and alone. What I need is your outlook.

Merry Christmas You are not alone. You have all of us. You will find that special person one day. I admire your independence. The food looks delicious. Your dog is so cute.

Somehow I cleaned my plate and I didn't even recall eating -- it must've been as good as it looked tho... Idk what fool would leave you alone at Christmas! If I had a sweetheart like you I'd never leave her alone for long... Cheers!...from North Vancouver

I needed this,…many thank yous, love and blessings to you and pup this New Year.

Merry Christmas! Happy Winter Solstice! We Love You Lyss! Thank you for always making us feel welcome in your home. For teaching us how to love the quiet and cherish the little things. You have a beautiful spirit; I am excited to watch as you continue to grow and for us all to grow right alongside of you.

This Christmas video brings joy to my life, I never had a feeling of joy. I grew up with a father who was abusive he was never there due to his substance addiction. My childhood experience was not a great experience growing up with fear because of my fathers ways. Let's just say he was not a nice person.

Dear Lyss❤️ Thank you so much for the beautiful person you are, and for all the love and inspiration you give. I would love to sit at your table and eat the Christmas meal with you❤️ Merry Christmas, dear Lyss❤️ love and hugs 🇳🇴

You are so inspiring Lyss. I am new to your channel and was drawn to it because I too live alone with my precious dog Emma and watching you and how at peace you are living this way has given me encouragement that I will be ok in time. It was not my choice to live alone but well life right. Sometimes it throws us curveballs but anyway I just love your channel. Makes me feel happy when I watch your videos. Wishing you a blessed Christmas and can't wait to follow you on your journey in life.

Merry Christmas to You and Rio! ☺️🎄❤️

A very Happy Festive Season Lyss your creativity with food & music for Christmas is delightful! Rio is a gorgeous & smart doggie so happy with her presents especially the big bone! Wishing you great health & happiness in 2024, is that special “love” going to engulf you? I hope so even though you enjoy your own company & you have Rio but the majority of humans love human connection! 💜💜🐶🎄🥂🇦🇺🐨
