Jessa Seewald just shared a video on YouTube that documents some Duggar and Seewald Christmas happenings. She takes her children shopping to pick out gifts for each other, and the Seewalds decorate gingerbread houses. Later, the family opens Christmas presents and sets up a pickleball court in their backyard. You'll also see footage from the annual Duggar family Christmas costume party, a tradition that started as an ugly Christmas sweater party and has since morphed. This year's theme is "pairs." Jessa promises to show Duggar family Christmas morning in another video.

Jessa has such a sweet family….great idea for the young children to shop for their siblings, they were having fun picking out the gifts. What a great idea to let the kids open one gift a day, for several days before Christmas. Looked like the extended families were having loads of fun at the Parents Christmas party. A lot of clever outfits, especially Ben’s.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed Jessa’s video, like always!!! She is such a cheerful, loving, fun Mom and the same with Ben as a Dad! They are instilling God’s truths and commands into their kid’s lives by teaching them but most of all by the example of their own lives. God Bless their Precious Family!

Delete10:58 They are an amazing couple with such cheerful, loving, joyful attitude. The results of their joyful parenting is reflected through the children and their happy personalities. Jessa has the sweetest voice and she shared how she purposely works on her tone and response..we all can benefit from being more aware of our tone and response to our husband and children.
@6:46pm I agree Jessa’s sweet tone and the patience she shows is an example for me when dealing with my great granddaughter that is on the spectrum for Autism. Being calm, cheerful and patient with her really encourages her and helps her to not have outbursts of frustration. It also helps her feel loved when she does act up and throw a fit. I calmly tell her when we do whats wrong, God still loves us and we can say we are sorry and ask God to forgive us and help us do the right thing next time.
DeleteCheerful loving joyful attitude? Wasn't this the couple who insisted that everyone apologize to Jessa if they ever said something about her that they didn't like? I seem to recall Ben publicly giving everybody an ultimatum and a deadline for that.
Delete@1:49 Being cheerful and patient is important, no matter the interactions with children. However, autism is often characterized by literal thinking and these kids may struggle with abstract religious or god concepts. Autistic individuals tend to have extreme sensory sensitivities and communication issues that lead to frustration and reactional outbursts. So, telling them to ask god to forgive them isn't solving anything, IMO. It's important to understand behavior triggers, provide consistent support, clear communication, and a structured environment to help minimize difficulties.
DeleteWhat are you talking about, 2:13?
Delete@ 7:39am I agree with most everything you commented on about understanding and how best to interact with autistic children! BUT I disagree with you that it confuses them to talk about Jesus (God the Son) and their need to ask for forgiveness of Him and others when they misbehave. I wait till my Great Granddaughter has calmed down and I tell her I love her so much and that JESUS loves her so much and she needs to say she is sorry to JESUS ( and to me or whoever). It doesn’t confuse her because she knows Jesus loves her! She says, sorry, and It’s forgotten and over with.
DeleteShe loves the song,
“Jesus Strong and Kind “ and “Happy Birthday Jesus”. Most of the time I am with her we are laughing so hard we are doubling over about one silly thing or another. If I pronounce a word wrong or call her by her cousins name by mistake or my dogs do something funny she thinks it’s hilarious and I laugh my head off right along with her.
Then on occasion,
(not every time I see her) just in a great while she starts screaming at me it because the toy she is playing with is somehow not right or it’s getting dark and we have to leave the park, I very quietly and gently say to her,
“I love you Sweetie, I want to help you, but sometimes things don’t always work right or work out just like we want them to, sometimes stickers do not stick, sometimes toys break, but I will try to fix it for you. And I try to help her with whatever the problem was.
I also tell her after she has calmed down, next time you need to use your words to tell me what’s wrong and I will listen to you. I only have her when I watch her so she gets my full attention. I see so many positive things she does, and I praise her for them when I see it, like when she is being kind to someone, I tell her thank you! When she shares I say Good Job! When she is helpful or takes turns at the park with other kids, I call out her name and say, Way to Go! I only see her a few hours a week, so if I hear that she hit someone at school or whatever, I tell her, we all do things wrong from time to time, but God forgives us when we ask Him, and He will help us make the right choice next time if we ask Him to be kind and not hit others. I suggest she tell her teacher if something or someone is bothering her. This doesn’t confuse her. I believe she is comforted that God is the only one who is perfect and He loves us so much and knows we are going to blow it (sin), from time to time, BUT He is quick to forgive and help us to be kind when we ask HIM. I talk to her about how I blow it and that I ask God, (and whoever else I need to ask for forgiveness of) to forgive me and that I am sorry. I also ask Jesus to help me do what’s right.
I really believe you are sincerely trying to help me and others to understand and help those who have Autism and those who are on the spectrum of Autism like my Great Granddaughter and I
THANK YOU!!! But I know with everything in me that God loves her and I want her to have that assurance and peace of His love for her and to know He will and does forgive her.
Ben said his wife was slandered online and demanded a public apology and retraction of comments he didn't like or agree with. That of course didn't happen afterwards.
Delete3:13, what's wrong with a husband standing up for his wife?
Delete1:05 It showed a side of Ben & Jessa that they probably don't want you to think about while supporting their channel.
DeleteWhich side? I don't watch their channel.
Delete@1:05pm I agree, I admire a man who stands up for his wife! He puts his family above everyone else. Good for him!
Delete12:50. You are absolutely correct..good for Ben
DeleteNice video but to be honest with you it was rather hard to get into because it's February. Always good to see the family though.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this one so much I had to watch it twice. Abby's due date was the fourth, so I expect she has already had her baby.
ReplyDeleteWht did they take so long to post it?
ReplyDelete?
Real life things (six kids, husband and house to take care of) plus editing takes time especially with all the Duggars who don't want themselves or kids on camera.
DeleteBusy life with a big family, probably
Delete9:29pm & 1:40pm EXACTLY!👍
DeleteSo enjoyed this video on their very happy, organized life. Jessa and Ben look like they have developed a strong way of communicating and making life with six children fun and rewarding. They should lead a parenting class. I enjoyed seeing all the siblings and cousins enjoy the Christmas party at the parents house. The bun in the oven outfits were darling on Abbie and Jana.
ReplyDeletethose bun in the oven outfits were degrading dont know how they could have worn them
DeleteI thought so too 1:41 especially how the boys insinuated they were the "bun maker" or whatever they said. I don't even want to look again. Is that all they think about?
Delete@8:59am I Absolutely agree with everything you said! I loved Jessa’s videos!
