Atomic Shrimp Advent Calendar - 8th December 2024 - Light the Fire

This is part of a series of simple, sometimes-festive but always-cosy videos to take us all the way through December, up to Christmas Day.
(*Except this advent calendar series, which is not on Early Access, because advent calendars need to be a surprise!)

Intro music is Christmas Village by Aaron Kenny - from the YouTube Audio Library

How did you clean the glass?! What is this miracle technique!

[Fairyfink]

So deeply satisfying. Im not sure any other channel on YouTube has the variety of Atomic Shrimp.

Theres that pig again! Stealth star of the advent 2024.

After going on a 20 minuet trek to the bus stop for my bus to not arrive (they are once every two hours), returning home, and drying off from the wind, wet, and cold. It was nice to sit cozy and warm with this as a psychological warmth boost.

I'm working nightshift in the sorting office all month, it's been really nice watching these every day when I get home.

[raraavis]

I think that was the nicest, 'most perfect' pre Christmas chillout episode, yet. It's just so relaxing, to watch someone build a cozy little fire and cuddle his dog. Hope, you're enjoying a peaceful Sunday 🕯️🕯️

[MD-chsw]

I’m not usually a massive fan of slow tv. But there was something really satisfying about this one. Much love to all this time of year

[vackradelfin]

What a wonderful birthday gift you have given me. Thank you, Sir Shrimp.

[Jablicek]

Underappreciated might be the amount of work in setting up all those cameras and the editing afterward. Entire teams are assembled to produce this sort of thing, so jolly well done!

Shrimp Cottage looks amazing in the snow, that opening sequence was brilliant. Gentle snowfall days are the best, you can go for a ramble and not get blasted by wind and blinded by snow, or you brew up a pot of coffee and read a book/watch a movie and gaze at the snow thru the window. There's something almost primal about a little iron fireplace like yours, feeding logs in, feeling that warmth and staring into the flames.

I hope Storm Daragh has left that wonderful garden intact. (We're going to be dealing with some aftermath but the house is fine and nobody is hurt.)

That Shrimp’s wood box is a wooden box is just very, very Shrimp. Snow outside and log fire inside is so cosy. 🔥

I miss having a real fire, nothing better on a snowy day than sitting in front of a blazing fire ❤

[nowheregirl]

I've had a horrid, miserable day, and this was such a tonic to come home to. Even if it may be hard to convey in a single little comment, please know that you are very much appreciated. Thank you.

[Hysteria_Costumes]

This is very lovely and comforting. I always wished I had a real fireplace in our apartment. Thanks for showing us yours.

[MichelleLWhitney]

Thank you so much for these advent videos. As a chronically ill person who is unable to participate in the usual holiday joy due to my illnesses, these videos have given me something to look forward to every day. Having something to look forward to when you’re so ill can make all the difference. Thank you for these little glimmers of joy.

Just enjoying tea and toast in bed with wind howling and rain lashing on the windows - your fire completes the scene 😊😊

[flatoutflatbroke]

That first shot shows just how 'upstairs' the upstairs greenhouse is!!

[DendoDiecast]

There is something about going out on a cold winters day, chopping wood for a warm cozy fire to keep the house warm that just speaks on a different level. We dont have a fireplace at home so this video is a wonderful thing!

[ian-c.]

There is nothing like the radiated warmth of a woodburner on a winter's day !
I can almost feel the heat from here !

[zzydny]

Warms the heart and the imagination. Thank you.
