Opening our Christmas presents! (For our family~) 

+James Lynn I was looking for this comment!!!

+James Lynn it's easier to hear a language than to speak it so I can understand

That was possibly my favorite part of the video.

I also love that.. I like when they speak in their native language

Yeah it's usually much easier to understand a language than to speak it, my grandma speaks to me in turkish and I respond in french ^^

Cool Unique Violist I'mSpeCiAlL tOo!!1! Jk Christmas is really different everywhere, kinda funny to think about. In my country we open presents together with many many guests during the evening.

dAYYnish wow that’s interesting for me I open mine at night

Lilo X Charlie aww that sounds really cute haha

I think Jim Gaffigan put it best: It's like the behavior of a drunk man. Take these lights and put them outside in the yard, then chop down that tree and put it in here.....

wow! Funny :D i actually open my gifts in my dream because we celebrate "christmas" by eating i our home

StarLightWolf I think its about the handwriting.

To be fair, a lot of Americans can't read cursive anymore either. That's why love writing in it

Apparently the writing on the card was cursive. I can't read cursive very well and I grew up in America.

@@ChinchillaQueen cursive is about to go on my state's lawbook as mandatory, I don't know why it's not a thing! All my kids learned as well.

@@Toywins I wish it was a mandatory thing for my home state. The most they learn is their names so they can sign documents.

One time, I bought my cat a really amazing and comfy cat bed. I ordered it online so it came in a box. My cat totally ignored the bed and just slept in the box lol

+OreoClarity Yesss that's happened to me too!! Whenever my friends and family order things online, I always ask for the boxes to give my can and they think I'm crazy lol

+Julia Smith haha rofl XD

+Julia Smith welp if u research a lil, i actually found out boxes relieves cats from being stressed. so let them always have the comfy box :3 💓

Rosesunitra Mean Aww that's so cool!! Thanks for letting me know :-)

Woa! 4 years yet no reply...guess im the first :D

love kitteny yeyyyy

Exactly. My voice goes deeper when i speak my languages

It's so strange. My voice sounds deeper in English and higher in French than in my native language (Dutch).

My voice gets... more resonant? When I speak Japanese. You can hear how Jun's voice does something similar.

Yesss ! my girlfriend is canadian/german. When she speaks english her voice gets low and unclear and she starts to mumble and talkes reaally fast. But it sounds sooo cozy and warm and cute. Especially when she's sleepy. But in german her voice is clearer, higher and louder and she sounds soooo cute cause sometimes you can hear a little english accent and it's the cutest thing ever. And i'm just a german girl who learns japanese...

Yea, whenever I speak French my voice goes deeper but it doesn't change when I speak irish or English and it slightly goes higher when I speak Spanish

i know its three years ago you made this comment but i just wanted to say that you are so correct! They are almost identical to asuna and kirito XD

Ikr

They met like straight out of an anime as well

Sword art online comes to mind

@@bonnie_rabbit749 yeeesss that's what i was thinking when i watched sword art online😍😍

I am only seeing/reading this for the first time so a year late, but just wanted to say your comment was just right and not too long at all. I really like how you captured what I also felt, that sweet innocence Jun displayed at experiencing Christmas. Rachel was also clearly very happy for Jun too.

I agree. I love watching videos like this. Especially when it's couples experiencing each other's cultures. I've long felt ie Christmas was becoming more of a chore than anything, but seeing things like this helps bring back some of that wonder you felt as a child.

Lana at least ur not 5 years late XDDDD

Yes Ive noticed most Japanese have amazing postures since I live here! Is It tatami?

This definitely deserves more likes.

Lol

|_ _)

Right?

I've always found Jun adorable, he acts like a little kid sometimes XD

ITS ALL SO NEW TO ME

So adorable ~

@XxNeonSkiesxX I find Jun a little unemotional in tone for that, Rachel's unwavering enthusiasm is more my kind of d'aww.

WATCH OUT, RACHEL! JUN HAS FANGIRLS!

Lowkey my ass, highkey every time I say "awwww!"

Merry Christmas great video

Merry Christmas Rachel and Jun! >^.^

So many warm fuzzies watching this!

Buon Natale!

Joyeux Noël!

Dahlia Cross I'm two years lata, but I feel you. I'm in the same boat.

Aww I hope you all the best. ♥️

Ha, same here, my family is made of 4 strangers put together in one house

Dahlia Cross you can do it kid!!!!!!!

I teared up because I saw them so happy enjoying their time together and treating themselves with respect and I wish in some future I will have my own family or friends with whom I can feel this way too.

In Finland, there are many charities that give christmas presents to kids who otherwise wouldn't get them, and food baskets with christmas foods for poor families. Everyone can participate and send these to the organizers. We did it this year with my family, it was really fun! Edit: Also, elder homes wish for christmas cards for their residents that might not get them from their relatives. The cards make them really happy!

@@raapyna8544 That sounds wonderful. In my city here in America the Salvation Army helps out with holidays. For Thanksgiving there's the turkey giveaway. You get a turkey and potatoes canned veggies and rolls and a variety of stuff. Last year we got a bag of apples and gallon of milk as well, so nice. For Christmas they do a Christmas bureau and families or individuals can go and receive a gift check good at a couple different grocery stores to get some food and families can choose gifts for their kids. Some really good stuff and for all ages up until about age 17. Really good selection too. I've lived in other towns and cities before but they don't do much to help others. The one I'm in now really takes care of their people. People here even help to feed and care for the homeless. It's wonderful when places like your country and a city like mine show such love and kindness by helping others so much. And I like be the idea of cards to elderly in homes. What a wonderful idea. I think I'll start doing that. And not just Christmas but anytime of the year. It must be nice for them to be able to get even just a little cheery note from someone and feel like maybe someone cares. Thank you for that idea.

Juliane Albright: Same with my family!

I agree. I caught myself grinning the whole time. I enjoyed watching you guys open presents. I felt like I was there myself. ^_^

TheJapanCode that is so nice of you!

Thank you!! Yeah, I miss my family a lot. I really wish I could visit them more, and I can't wait for the day that they can come visit me! I really want to show them around where I live now! :D I'm sorry you're apart from your family, too. Life can be kind of tough like this! >_

plaingal79 Malaysia? Does your family celebrate Christmas? If so, how? Cause my family practically just does nothing and just hangout together.

you do get a lot ^^

***** I was distracted by the cat and Jun playing with it's paws. So adorable :')

lister kyte ご視聴ありがとうございました！しっとりしているアメリカのクッキーが恋しかったので、嬉しかったです！

Also in my life. but dont forget: You make your christmas. Merry Christmas!

Sending hugs to you from Scotland! I spent Xmas alone this year too (Alot of RL going on right now) I was pretty depressed for most of the day but after realising that I had more to drink because I didn't need to share I felt better! :P

Though I don't know you and have a Merry Christmas! Hugs!

murillo marcio That is true indeed, merry Christmas to you too! :)

Shonnie Cairns Thank you

HAHA your family sounds great

I've heard its usual to spend christmas with your girlfriend/boyfriend. (If you have one) many had to go to work this christmas since it was on a thuesday.

Rachel & Jun they are it just sad that the live around the globe I got family members in four continents so getting all together even with one side is sadly impossible

Personally I spent Christmas day with 3 friends watching a pro wrestling event at Korakuen Hall. 2 of them were girls, one was a guy who is married with kids but still came with us lol. Since a lot of people aren't that serious about religion they aren't as crazy over Christmas it seems. Seeing cool decorations around town is good enough for most people. New Years eve is a bigger event. They go to shrines during obon and new years and such; I guess you could say they are more spiritual than religious.

I'm totally basing this off of anime and manga so my perspective may be skewed but i totally thought they celebrated christmas too! So are only the town/cities decorated? I know they give each other gifts....unless its only to their special someone. I mean, here in the West, a lot of us who aren't religious still celebrate Christmas (sometimes harder than those who are).

They both speak English and Japanese

Amen

AdmiralJuicy 😂😂😂

Oh god you're right, haha. I knew it was spelled like that, too!
