- In Japan, people don't really celebrate Christmas.

I'm a Japanese Taiwanese American comedian.

So I grew up in Japan and I was living there

we're going on a two months vacation to the United States

and we overstayed our visas by seven years.

And that is how you become undocumented immigrants.

So my first Christmas in the United States,

I had started hearing from all my friends at school,

oh no, Santa Claus is someone that actually comes to you.

They said, no, he will give you whatever you want

and then you had to also put out fresh baked cookies for him

My aunt and uncle do not bake because we're immigrants

and we use our oven to store Tupperware in it,

but I did find a box of almond cookies laying around,

And I laid out a glass of soy milk because we're Asian

because nobody at my school could get my name right.

At the same time, there was rumors going around at school

that Santa Claus was actually just being played

that it was gonna be my uncle playing Santa.

I would really love a white teddy bear holding a heart

that they loved me in writing and then I go to sleep.

So here's my poor uncle and aunt childless

are now like, okay, we have a child's wishes to grant.

My uncle and aunt gathered free decorations

from their church friends, like wreaths or tiny trees,

acorns, some kind of red and green plants, candy canes,

we are freaks and that we had to desperately try to fit in

and I think that's why I was so stoked when my uncle

and aunt's living room looked like the American Christmas

So I look in the stocking and lo and behold,

there it is a white teddy bear with a heart

And I'm go grandma, grandma checked this out

and she goes, oh yeah, that's a beautiful gift.
