2020 is done, and the world will never be the same.

Adverbs of degree

Even though 2020 ended very different from other years,

all the hardships of the year couldn't hold back a super special year end celebration.

This is already my second pancake. It's already your second Christmas cake?

We're going to school. Going to school on Christmas?!

I've been working on a secret project which is making the girls their own little desks.

And they're going to have their own little magnetic board above each desk.

And we're rearranging their room while they're gone.

So when they get home, it's the Christmas surprise.

The desks are in! Now we have to put some drawers in.

Momma chan is probably going to decorate a little bit.

Why? Only when you get to shyogakkou (elementary school)

Now what are we measuring for? Get this centered.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it's the importance of perspective.

We can choose to be overcome by hardships, or let the hardships make us into stronger people.

Oh, and up here we have the Christmas racetrack, huh?

It's hard work to keep the right perspective, but it's worth all the effort.

I did it! We're all setup for the livestream tonight.

It's going to be our first livestream ever.

I really don't know what to expect except I imagine it's going to be a great time of interaction with all of you!

And to be able to say "hi" and answer questions and show what we do for Christmas.

Well, it's time, huh? To start some setup here? Yes please!

Do you want to do some races first? Yea right!

A couple more things for Christmas! Some stocking stuffers and masks.

Even though we don't really get a lot of snow here they can use it on the slides and it makes them go really fast.

Oh boy! Might even need to go try that out at some point, huh?

It's all cute! Christmas placemats. Are we going to have a meal here?

Ham and mashed potatoes. Ham and mashed potatoes, mnnnnn.

In Japan, a big deal is fried chicken at Christmas.

But for Americans, a lot of times it's ham or turkey.

The girls should be getting home soon, so I'm going to go, get into their room and hide in there

And get their reaction as they get home from school and see their desks!

So look, let me explain some things to this. You made this?!

Mommy did this for a long time! These are your drawers,

If you get more stuff than fills this drawer, than we get rid of it.

Are you kidding me?! You can put your pens right here.

Can you guys say "Thank you Mommy" and give her a big hug?

We're playing some MarioKart while mommy is making her famous cinnamon rolls for the family to have breakfast tomorrow!

Oh my goodness! Is that real cinnamon rolls?

Uncle Paul's over here! We're getting the livestream all setup and ready to go,

And in just a little bit, we're going live!

Normally we pack our place out with friends for Christmas, but that wasn't an option this year.

Instead of focusing on what we couldn't do, we opened up our family Christmas party to all of you via a livestream, and had our biggest house party ever!

Yeah! Welcome everybody! I can't believe that we're live with you right now!

We're changing around the whole scene scenario here... behind the scenes of livestream Life in Japan!

Well, that does it for now, and until next time, we'll see you on Life in Japan! Bye bye!

So our livestream is just ending right now,

Our first livestream ever, I think we'll have to do this again...

And here is — we forgot to show the guy behind the scenes, making this all possible!
