Hey Guys, I'm Loretta and welcome to my channel KEMUSHICHAN!
-
Merry CHRISTMASSS!!!
-
By the time you see this Christmas is probably over,
-
and you've probably realized that I've completely failed at vlogmas.
-
But either way today is my Christmas
-
and today. I went to announce the giveaway winners
-
for this year's vlogmas, Christmas, holiday prize thing
-
But yeah, so today is actually Christmas Day
-
And I am so happy because my best friend
-
my like 3.5~4 years college roommate
-
Flew all the way in from Virginia
-
so I'm not alone this Christmas, which is really nice
-
And we're getting ready to go to a Christmas lunch!
-
I got a present from Boomer's dad actually
-
its a new OVEN!
-
and when it came my landlady was like
-
"So this is American size, huh?"
-
Like yeah. It's American size.
-
and it's in FAHRENHEIT!
-
So I have a new oven and a brand new day with friends to look forward to
-
but FIRST we have to get cooking!
-
I'm making a version of my family's baked macaroni and cheese.
-
My secret touch is always a little swig of mustard
-
and USUALLY I add brown sugar.
-
but I couldn't find it
-
So I'm using a little bit of Japanese black sugar
-
and some onions and garlic,
-
then we bake for about an hour
-
so let's get started!!!
-
So the baked macaroni and cheese,
-
Loretta-style, not quite mama style, is done!
-
And I'm ready to go pick up my friends!
-
So now we're gonna head over to Hiro-o
-
to pick up the TURKEY! This year is legit. :)
-
I hope this is Christmas-y enough!
-
I'm wearing like a black mini dress
-
with like a shiny over thing and stockings.
-
So I'm a Christmas ornament!
-
Anyway, who cares what my outfit is. Let's hit the road
-
[ Tokyo on Christmas Day]
-
I'll keep these on so no one knows who I am....
-
They know who you are.
-
I"ll put on the video of you being the grudge girl.
-
Anyways, so this is a girl who's not to be named.
-
This is Voldemort.
-
We're on our way to Luca Deli which is in Hiro-o.
-
They usually cater turkeys and American food
-
but we're picking it up instead.
-
Kendall wanted KFC...
-
I was going to get KFC tonight...
-
but you have to order, you can just walk in today.
-
Hi! We ordered a turkey???
-
Yes, you are?
-
Loretta!
-
It's quite heavy!
-
It's OK I brought people!!
-
Thank you, Merry Christmas!!!
-
[Tadaima! Modotte kimashita!]
-
We're home and it's actually a new day!
-
The Christmas party was such a fun time
-
It was crazy seeing my old friends from the states
-
meeting a lot of my new friends here in Japan.
-
Like...everyone's coming together in one place! AH!!!
-
and then the FOOD!!
-
The turkey was not dry at all. It was so moist.
-
I think it was like twenty dollars per person for the bird
-
We got a 12-person turkey or something like that
-
so it was pretty pricey actually
-
but it was so moist and so flavorful
-
and you just picked it up, ready-to-eat. So that was really nice!
-
So to actually have like a turkey...YUM
-
Everyone made these like delicious like roasted veggies
-
dressing, eggnot, and like all these desserts!
-
Australian fruit mince pies-- so many FLAVORS!
-
Like UHhHH-- CHRISTMAS!!
-
Thank you! I missed having a proper Christmas!
-
Good job to Amanda !!!
-
Thank you for hosting an amazing party!!!
-
This year was nice because I wasn't actually alone on Christmas day.
-
In general, Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas here.
-
It feels like
-
Valentine's Day with different decorations.
-
Like in the states, everyone's off from Christmas until New Years
-
and then some people take extra weeks.
-
So like my friends visited,
-
then flew off to Thailand and their vacation kept going!
-
Whereas I just dropped them off and went straight to work.
-
Christmas is so abrupt here
-
It just suddenly ends.
-
I feel like in the States, Christmas is built up for like weeks and months
-
and for a few days like work and school
-
and everything that doesn't quite matter
-
All of that is suspended
-
and the only thing that matters is like food and warmth
-
and love and that just feels so good.
-
Here, Christmas is like an afterthought to work.
-
It's hard! It's definitely interesting..
-
But I've been trying to make some new traditions here
-
for example going to the Christmas Market
-
I went with Yummy Japan, we made a video together
-
And we tried out a bunch of the different foods there.
-
It was so much better this year!
-
And then I also went ice skating!
-
Which I totally shouldn't have done because I threw out my back that last week
-
Last year I went ice skating with Sam and friends
-
So that's that's really fun great and Christmas markets
-
going ice skating with friends,
-
the other thing I really like
-
is just SENDING gifts to people!!
-
Mail here is so much cheaper than in the States
-
So I sent gifts like to my family, to my brother's family
-
I sent them to my brother, Lincoln, in Houston
-
So, it's time to give YOU GUYS a gift!
-
It's time to share the giveaway winners!
-

-
