It's Christmas time, and the world's biggest celebration is underway.

In this episode, you'll see how we celebrate Christmas here in Japan.

Seth, we gotta get this on video because... Ah, you're going to be famous!

He has the best Christmas sweater I've yet seen.

You guys look great! Little shepherds, huh?

OK everyone, if I could please have your attention. All the children. And Josiah and Daichi.

I need all my shepherds and sheep to be here in front.

My angels, you all need to be kneeling down right here in front.

See that man in the black shirt? Wave your hand.

Look at him. I want you standing, looking at him.

Our Christmas celebrations this year started off at Paz Coffee Shop,

Sunday morning we had a special Christmas drama, telling the true story of Christmas,

The kids were so adorable, all dressed up as shepherds and sheep to react the story of the very first Christmas.

Some kids were even bribed into singing extra loud by letting them open an early Christmas gift that evening.

Mario Kart on the big screen! Look at these guys playing! I love it!

The drinks today were free for Christmas!

That evening we had our first Candlelight Christmas Service full of beautiful Christmas music and a word about Christmas.

The lights went out as we lit each other's candles.

What a special, unforgettable moment it was.

So Beckster — you're in the nice warm spot, huh? Oh!

Did you just have too much coffee yesterday?

Christmas Eve! Yeah! We get home early, and what are we going to do?

After we eat, we're going to open our stockings.

Uh! The girlfriend's doing some fried chicken!

This little guy knows what a camera is, that's for sure.

Hello everybody! Today I am going to talk about... Christmas!

Everybody thinks it's just about presents and stuff and decorations but...

The true story is that it's Jesus' birthday!

And on Jesus' birthday, there was a huge star.

And that's why there's a star on a Christmas tree.

Yeah, there's an angel. Sometimes there's a star, right?

He was born in a manger, so that's why we decorate...

OK, let's read. We're going to read the story of Christmas and then we're going to open our stockings, OK everybody?

Are you excited to open the stockings, Joshua?

"And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born."

"She gave birth to her first born son..."

"She wrapped him snuggly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because there was no lodging available for them..."

"Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head."

"The stars in the sky looked down where He lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay."

Let's hurry, Dude! We're going to open the stockings!

Here's our stockings! Let me tell you something...

What a good present for Big J! That was nice.

There's one for Anna. "I love you, Anna."

You have homework due tomorrow, on Christmas day?!

Do you have your new little buddies next to you while you sleep tonight, huh?
