When you go to the market, take reusable cloth bags or a nap-sack. You'll never have to worry about the bag breaking no mater how long you walk and of course it's so much better for the environment. Less people using plastic bags mean less have to be manufactured :) Merry Christmas to you guys!
omg i was searching a content like this because its an inspiration for those ppl like me who are independent and away from family that there will be a lot of ways no matter what... to divert the homesickness into happiness.. .
I did this in 1982-1991. I was a single Canadian gal 21 years old and went to Japan alone. And I returned to Vancouver alone although I had a few marriage offers. I liked Tokyo at Christmas and New Years, the city was very quiet and a nice change from the usual chaos.
I am very excited to see all of your new upcoming videos in 2020! I hope you two have an amazing time celebrating the new year! Thank you! ❤️
"That's for old people"
Me, a uni freshman: *glances at my four large Bonzai trees by my desk*
Old souls, huh x)
Ahh 😊
It's Bonsai, man. It's ok though since you are still a noob. It would be awkward if you are a sensei teaching bonsai. haha
@@johnmarston5218 what can i say, good thing i'm not a teacher
Congratulations on your engagement you both seem so happy. Can’t wait to see what the future goes for the both of you. Much love health and happiness
Merry Christmas Kelly. I enjoyed your walking tour. I live in Yokosuka (south of Yokohama), and I like walking too. Look forward to your videos into the new year.
I know how you must feel on Christmas. I hope you had a nice time anyway. I moved abroad a couple months ago and flights were too expensive to fly back home from Christmas, so couldn't be with family. Then my presents from them didn't arrive and got sent back because of a mix-up, so I didn't have anything to open on Christmas Day. THEN to top it all off I lost my job a week before Christmas. So I wasn't very excited about it this year. I did have a nice time though, it was nicer than I thought it would be. :)
I could've watched at least an hour of you walking through your local streets 🤗💖💕
Merry Christmas gorgeous gal, I love how you turn a negative into a positive, you’re so inspirational! And don’t you forget it 💖
I’m so happy that you have found love & true happiness, God Bless you both! I absolutely love your channel 💖💖
I loved the walk through the town!!
My family has always called it Egg In A Nest :) So many different names!!
The egg cooked in the middle of the toast my mom has always called a bullseye lol i didn't know there were other names for it 😆 Merry christmas and happy new year both of you!
Most common is egg in a frame or egg in a basket I’ve heard from most people! I always called it and egg in a fancy frame lol
Lol my mom had always called it egg in a nest 😂
I’ve never heard of it called “egg in a frame” we always called it “toad in a hole”
Happy holidays to you both! The wee japanese streets look awesome
Spending time on New Year’s day with families and relatives in Japan is more similar to spending time with them on Christmas Day in US.
I hope you will have a great time with Ryuji san’s family on New Year’s Day or first week of New Year’s.
Now I miss spending time with my family on New Year’s Day😢
Merry Christmas! I am so happy you are making progress healthwise!
Merry Christmas!
This video made me cry, it was soooo lovely.
Merry Christmas. I am a new subscriber. Been binge watching your videos. :)
Your hair is really cute! Merry Christmas and happy New year! 💜😀🎉
Merry Christmas Kelly !!
We call that egg toast Toad in the Hole in my family lol!
Lol i just commented saying that my family calls it a bullseye! Its so weird all the different names people have for it!
I’ve heard that haha
My fiance's family calls it that and it confuses me because in my family its a sausages and yorkshire pudding!
It's so satisfying watching you cut the cakes :)
If U live in Tokyo, small house no garden, it cannot be helped as U know Tokyo is not Japan it is an international city. when your family find what U want through your life you will find the best place to live good luck!! Kelly san and Ryuji san
This is a lovely video I think i would get soo lost in those tiny twisty streets google maps would be constantly on .. also do schools shut down over xmas and new year ? I hope you had a great xmas and have a wonderful ne w year together from Australia
So funny with the egg in a frame! lol
He was so impressed lol
Merry Christmas!!🎅🎄
Did you get a haircut? Love your new hair!
Merry Christmas darling and happy new year to both of you x x Japan wonderful darling x x x
as soon as you open. its kinda sad. I personally wish you the best and hope hes all you hope for. Also from west to east what is the hardest. seriously so many things could be hard minus the language but for you what is it?
❤❤
Wow I had 5 advertisements in 5 min only...
I mean this will all due respect- you should consider skipping that heavy eye liner. Your eyes are GORGEOUS and that winged, black line distracts from their natural beauty. A tip: Use only shadow to shade above your crease instead of the eye liner.
Hope you have a wonderful 2020 . I was gonna ask you about your name. Happy New year!!
Did you say your last name will be monita? Or did I hear wrong?
Ull always b Strawberry Mochi 2 me! >(ñ_ñ)
🙌🏻
👍🏻🇺🇸
Banzai tree? Really?
I love to collaborate with you if you don’t mind
👌👌🌷🌷🎄🎄🎉🎆💞
I need to get me a Japanese girlfriend so I can move to Japan, shiiiiit
You can't find a boyfriend? Or best friend to hang out with. Life is short so get moving..🥰🥰🥰🎁🎯🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
# Are You A Christian? CHRIST-MAS = CHRIST'S BIRTH/ The MESSIAH
You might have been alone but you had an awfully beautiful
It is so opposite to me that I grew up in Japan where people celebrate Christmas so differently than Western world. I liked to go out with my friends and family on Christmas when I was teen. But ever since I moved to US, everything is closed and nobodys really seen on the street. I got sad lol but for new years eve and years Japanese people celebrate like Western countries do for Christmas. Its trade off
You have a great family. Only my sister comes to visit me now on Christmas (mom passed away 3 years ago)
Keep your spirits up 🙂
I love the content of this video. Can you make similar like these? It's like exploring hidden gems that never knew existed. Love it so much. Hope you have a great 2020.
こんにちは！ずっと前から見ています。最初の頃 あなたは寂しそうで悩みも多かったようでした。でも素敵な彼氏が出来て、今はとても穏やかで幸せそうです。来年のご結婚が素晴らしい人生の記念になりますように。そしていつまでも日本を好きでいてください。お幸せに！！！よいお年をお迎えください。
Well depending on where you work. Christmas is required in usa too.
Your neighbourhood has such a quaint vibe to it, I loved visiting it, the peaceful atmosphere puts the soul at ease! You did an amazing job at the Christmas eve dinner, happy first Christmas together and congrats on the rebrand! 🎄💖
Thanks Marianna! Yes, I love it here. I’m very happy despite my health issues. Miss my friends though 😭 let’s make this year amazing!
LoveLyzKelly You’ve made a ton of progress with you health and big changes are happening (good changes) so 2020 is going to be amazing!! ✨❤️
Merry Christmas! We call those “Egg in the hole” at our house. And the circle pieces of toast are valuable commodity in our house.
Kelly is carrying her videos to another level , this video got me when she talked about her relationship, really happy that you're still still together &fighting. wish u both good luck,thanks for your hard work ,we really appreciate every single piece of it❤❤
Wow. No trash, vagrants or meth heads. Must be nice.
OMG Kelly, when you were describing your relationship and how quick it developed - it sounded like you were going to say you two broke up. I was so scared for you LOL Glad everything is good with you two. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ;-)
😂 what a crazy video that would have been.
I seriously thought the same. Lol
Yeah. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop! 😂 how cynical of me! I’m glad things are good!!
Is so strange to me when a woman changes her name when they marry, here in Spain you keep your second name.
¡Claro que sí! Also, in Spain, babies are given both parents' family names.💃🏻 I am proud of my very long name. 😌🇪🇸 However, other people may think that the Spanish way is strange. Habits vary from one country to another. That's the beauty of it!
@@beot-kkot How does that even work down a few generations? Do y'all have like a gazillion names each? I always thought creating your own unique family name without taking either the bride or the groom's family names would be a fair way to do it. Something new the couple choose together and used by their children until they in turn get married and choose their own family name with their partner.
Will your family ever travel to Japan to visit? Will you take your fiancé back to the states to meet everyone? I was happy that this year your Christmas video wasn’t a sad one. You seem more at peace than ever. It’s awesome. So happy for the two of you! Happy New Year!
The two of you seem so well suited for each other, I'm so happy for you! ♥️
I remember as a kid being really upset when my dad had to work on or around Christmas (he is a truck driver) - thankfully he did his very best to work weird and crazy hours in order to be there when we opened presents. But as I got older we "moved" Christmas to accommodate his schedule since my sister and I were able to understand more, and that helped when we started getting retail jobs and ended up working on holidays too. I think as we get older, things are hard at first but over time its the people around us that make the holidays - not necessarily the day. You using the day to reflect and then have dinner with your fiance is perfect. Love and kindness are definitely what the holidays are really about.
I AM SHOCKED ABOUT THE XMAS LIGHTS THOUGH! Do they just not put up tons of decorations at people's homes in the holidays?
Merry Christmas to the living spirit like you. i like seeing your video not only its natural but simple also i can sense that you are a very good person and thank to god that god creates you on earth.i don't know why are saying all this but this is what I am thinking but the thing is you should proud of it that's why I am texting you. Love you from India, i am becoming fan of you day by day and don't change yourself forever
The walking through your japanese neighborhood was priceless, golden moments for eyes and ears.
Thank you LovelyzKelly for this recharging video
I love seeing you smile! You're so pretty and seem like such a warm and nice person.
11:15 A Volkswagen Bus! You don't see many of those in Japan.
Wabi sabi doesn't mean preserving old things. It's a design philosophy based on embracing imperfection and transience.
So now this is the less nicer part of Japan...no Christmas,no Christmas tree,no days off for Christmas Holidays. 😕
Showing the down side is very important as well. Being objective is important.
If it's any consolation: I too spent Xmas eve alone. Reading, like always. Happy 2020! 🎄
Not very happy anymore
You and Ryuji are goals! I hope to find and treat a woman as well as he does you and make her just as happy.
QuantumRyderGO! You love Dead Space, too? I’m right here! Lol.
@@onIineangeI giiiirl you're my dream
QuantumRyderGO! Do you play on pc, Xbox one or ps4? I’m assuming you play more games than just dead space?
@@onIineangeI I play on PS4 mostly, and yes I play a bit of everything 😊
QuantumRyderGO! Aw, I wanted us to be on the same console. I also play other games. But dead space is my all time favorite. The first one is amazing, I love it dearly
Although I'm in America still, I'm currently living about 2,500 miles from home and had my first Christmas alone since I couldn't afford a plane ticket back and I don't have a car. It was weird, but I tried to just relax + spent a lot of time planning for a job interview that's coming up in January. Soon I might be in Japan and if so, will most likely be alone again for next Christmas, this time about 6,700 miles from home. Either way, I still try to call everyone and facetime my parents. That brings a little comfort at least. I hope you have a good New Years and I wish you the best! Here's to a lovely 2020!
@Smith Emma Haha that's what I've been told :D I guess I'm just a free spirit but I've always had really bad wanderlust and after learning Japanese in university I guess it just makes a lot of sense + the timing if things go as planned will work out excellently (my tour ends in March and the job in Japan I'm applying to starts in April). Spending most of 2020 abroad just sounds really exciting :P
@Smith Emma I'm currently serving in a conservation corps. - basically I work at national parks doing restoration and conservation work :D It's very rewarding but it's so hard work that you can only serve until you're 24 yrs old. And I'm turning 24 this month so I'm currently looking for a new job once I'm dismissed in March. This teaching job in Japan would start later that same month so fingers crossed I get it! I'll find out tomorrow if all my paper work/application process went smoothly and I can advance to the last interview on the 6th of this month!
The happiest of holidays to you two! May there be many more to come
"Camino sola por mi barrio japonés en la noche de Navidad."
Same here🖐️😅 if the Christmas is not on a Sunday I spent it alone becouse my husband works,every year the same. Happy holidays and happy New years 🎄❄️🍾🥂
Yes some tough jobs are Scrooges haha
You live in Asia?
Your videos make me happy .
1. In trying to loose weight from 97kg to 70kg and in on Pariet (rabeprazole sodium) 10mg for acid reflux I get side effects like fatigue headaches etc. What helps with acid reflux?
Im needing a colonscope endoscope before surgery to see why Im vomiting all the time and what ever I eat I get a allergic reaction like red rashes etc.
2. Im having surgery in 4 months time for pilinidal sinus after a hospital neglected me for more than 1 year and sent me home many times telling them i gave been bleeding alot and due to this I will need to be in hospital for 2 weeks and 1 year recovery. I lost alot of blood due to this. First hole was ok but over time it got worse now I have 3 holes and all I wanted is for the hospital to do a simple surgery in march 2019 but lead to this massive surgery. Its hard to walk to go to toilet or even sleeping due tout he pain and suffering. Sometimes I pass out in toilet due to the blood. My therapist said once surgery is over my anxiety etc will go away.
3. What vitamins help with anxiety to loosing weight to energy and with fatigue? I changed my diet etc.
4. Hot flushes due to my neck pain and back stiff neck and food allergies.
5. What helps with thyroid as I was hyperthyroid and I get heat intolerance alot and my thyroid does burn itch alot. Even though doctor won't do the test like the blood test to ultrasound for the thyroid etc.
6. Sinus issues. Ent recommended surgery but most of my sinus is caused by either all of above or some of it.1 of my nostrils is blocked and can only breath through 1. When ever I have dairy or eggs I get red rashes headaches etc.
7. Pre Diabetes found in blood test.
When I went to a doctor he thinks all this is made up and I don't understand how is my bleeding to allergies against foods etc made up? He sees me for 1 minute then tells me to go. He even gave me antibiotics for my bleeding but the specialist said u don't need to take them and took them for no reason and had to take probitocs due to this.
I even have a diary on what I eat etc and told.him about this he just dismissed it.
I will need to change doctor as he not a good one.
U don't want to get diagnosed with something u don't have. Since Im in Australia the heat and fire makes things worse.
I got all this going on.
I rather spend Christmas walking in Japan than family. My family sucks lol
5:36 Those drawings on the road look so cute! It makes the neighborhood so homey
I have psoriasis and increasing green food helps; Spinach, broccoli, green juices cruciferous veg and also microwaveable steamed vegetables (cheap - frozen- keeps a long time). I eat meat only a handful of times per year, limit alcohol to only a once or twice per year, and be cautious / limit nightshades; potatoes, tomatoes eggplant, goji berries, peppers. Potato starch is a massive trigger for me. I don't drink milk, but usually plant milks in tea, or drink peppermint / green tea. I limit my dairy consumption also.
I will eat fish such as tuna, but salmon is too rich for my stomach. I eat wide selection of fruit (frozen - cheap!), for breakfast a banana, brazil nuts (2 or 3 every day) a few oatcakes, and a few pumpkin seeds for breakfast. Lunch is steamed veg (frozen - cheap!) with rice or some kind of veg sandwich/wrap with hummus or soup. (Tinned - cheap!). I buy large portobello mushrooms quite often and steam them. They are nice with hummus and some hemp power mixed in. Also wheatgrass powder is nice mixed in with hummus and eaten with raw carrots or mushrooms as a starter.
I would say it's about balance with chronic immune issues. Try introducing more steamed veg and reducing oily foods, replace them with some nuts or seeds and see if it helps. I have improved many stomach issues by drastically changing my diet SLOWLY introducing and eliminating certain foods. Lightly steaming or introducing some raw foods before main meal has personally helped me. It's good that you know some of the foods that you cannot tolerate consuming in large amounts.
Food combining is another subject worth looking into if you have immune issues. There are studies that show a raw salad with greens and seeds improves the nutritional bioavailability of a meal 10x more than if the salad and seeds weren't consumed before the meal. There are also some studies that show benefits of eating lower amounts of protein when eaten with carbohydrates such as rice or bread, can help with some immune issues.
Not sure how much of this is 100% true for the majority of immune issues, but it's helping with my psoriasis. Too many carbs consumed with heavy protein can be a trigger for me. Wheat is another ingredient I am careful about eating in any great amount. Best of luck - initially it can be annoying if you cannot eat just anything that you fancy, and I have firsthand experience of it.
I’m jealous of how safe Japan is. I’m afraid to walk anywhere by myself in the US 😭
Same
@@KellyMorita Depends on where in the US... some of y'all need to toughen up... it's a big world out there... took me a long time to realize that.. I'm trying to catch up now..
@@gewglesux I totally agree. I live in Roseville California and I feel very safe here.
Rachel do you live in Detroit?
Haven't been home for Christmas for about seven years now.Every year its gets harder.Especially living in Asia.But I still take time off work and try and make it as Christmas like as possible.
Dear Kelly. Thanks for all your amazing videos, thanks for sharing your thoughts and your life in Japan. I wish you a happy new year here from Denmark and what a cool name you are going to get. Looking forward to many good times with you in 2020
Cant wait for the new year ep 😻 Girl me too, im in the best relationship ive ever had as well 😽
Yes I’m so excited to ring in the new year with the love of my life
I love your videos. But why don't Japanese people take jute bags with them for shopping. All this plastic makes me cry...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I loved the walk around the neighborhood! Please do more!
Happy Holidays!
Was the same for me I work and live in a different city than my spouse. My older son lives in the same city as my spouse. My younger son I think he's moved in with his girlfriend's family at this point my middle son we are in the same City but he's at college at his dorm. I believe this is probably the first Christmas that we we're all apart kind of felt weird not doing anything on Christmas Day.
hi i think im livin close area. lol
im japanese,girl. use to live in usa.
anyway good video.
which u have a great day.
I miss walking around the towns when I lived in Japan. I love the memories you reminded me of. Thank you! Did you open gifts for Christmas?
２０１９年１２月は、全国的に日本国では降雪が少ないようですが、やはりクリスマスはある程度の降雪が有った方がクリスマスの感じがでますね。正月も同じですね。
If it's any consolation: I too spent Xmas eve alone. Reading, like always. Happy 2020! 🎄
It’s eggy bread NOT EGG in a basket
Love that you think it’s egg in a basket 😂
Christmas has also been the hardest period away from my family. I'm glad you met your husband and can be together now :) I might bump into you someday haha we live in the same station ;)
That was Fun!!! 😃😃😃
Cheer up....I guess all foreigners here in Japan feel the same....and If it makes you feel better....I used to live in China before and it is exactly the same!
But like you've said new year is coming and this is a pretty nice time of the year in Japan!
Happy new year then!
it’s my dream to live in Tokyo (like, for at least 6 months 🤣) I get that people say it’s a lonely country but it has been my dream since 13 and now I’m 27. I still believe one day I’ll get to experience it :) Thank you for the lovely video!
Hi I’m also living in japan for 19 years already .
美男美女のカップル！ 御幸せに！MERRY Christmas!
Very cool! Itadakimasu!
That is a flowering cabbage
Hope you both have a great new year. He's cute! And so are you.
One reason to have kids. You won't be alone and celebrating Christmas with kids is awesome. There's so much joy.
I’m new here, and I wonder what kind of job you have?
hi
Love your vids , merry Christmas Kelly!!
Congrats in advance 👍 all the best in your new adventure
