Off-Grid Christmas in Alaska: Tree Cutting, Crafts, and Jolabokaflod

This Christmas, we’re taking you deep into the Alaska wilderness to celebrate in a cozy off-grid cabin! 🎄 From hauling out all of our gear to chopping down and decorating our very own Christmas tree, this holiday adventure is packed with festive fun. 🪓✨ We share special moments making holiday crafts, cooking a delicious Christmas dinner, and embracing a new-to-us tradition of Jolabokaflod—an Icelandic book-gifting tradition. Plus, we indulge in some yummy Indian snacks that make the holiday even more special! Join us for a magical family Christmas in the Alaskan woods! 🎅❄️ Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more adventures! Let us know in the comments what your favorite holiday tradition is.
