In America it's all about the kids and Christmas morning Christmas meal with family. Not as much a couples day. As long as you spend time with the kids and family
When youre a kid, its about the presents, when youre an adult, its about the family bonding
Christmas is not about couples at all in the US.
Jesus
@@Pyramanagerit can be about both
@@ItsMeAnn628it can be if you make it
i think the US is more about families waking up Christmas morning and opening presents .. shoulda had some videos with kids on Christmas morning †Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!
I'm American but I've never met anybody that actually did that. Mostly everybody i know does the opening Christmas Eve (usually when the party or dinner is over)
@@Pyramanager oh thatâs interesting. Around me- Christmas Eve is for parties or visiting relatives and friends and Christmas morning is presents with family. Especially those with kids. Literally every person I know with kids in the house does it like that
@@daniellemonbebe Most ppl i know growing up and now cant get both xmas day and new years day off (most work in medical field). They can only choose 1, so most choose new years day off since most xmas activity is done on xmas eve.
@@Pyramanager of course the medical field canât take that many holidays off, people donât just stop being sick of holidays
@@Mimi-yo2pp Well duh, that was my point
I was quite surprised when I visited SK during the holidays a few years ago and found out thatâs itâs considered more of a âcouples dayâ there. Itâs considered that in the west too but itâs more of a family holiday where everyone comes together. I honestly thought the âopening gifts and eating Christmas dinner as a familyâ was a tradition everywhere but I guess not.
Iâm old and live in the US. Christmas has never been about couples. Itâs about being with all your loved ones.
Its the same in Japan too. I was shocked but I was with my partner anyway so we did pretty much the same things as Koreans and japanese did on Christmas day lol
@@pan364 On really? Do you know how they celebrate it in china too? Iâve heard mixed answers. Some ppl say they celebrate it like us and Iâve also heard some people say itâs a couples holiday like Japan and SK.
@@ItsMeAnn628 I was born and raised in the US but Iâve been practically all around Europe as my mom is Bulgarian, and itâs the same there. Iâll speak for Bulgaria as Iâve spent the most time there. The balkans donât get snow so it really isnât the same vibe as you would get in the US for instance but Christmas in northern and Western Europe is beautiful. Itâs considered a family holiday there also. Itâs considered more of a family holiday in most countries Iâm pretty sure.
@Kenzieee yeah hahaha it was surprising because there were soo many couples everywhere but there were some families too and they have KFC for Christmas lol. I'm not too sure about China, I've heard a lot of mixed answers for that before but the majority say it's family day.
They should see how people decorate their houses in the US it's like a light festival everywhere
It's the most fun thing to see in the US, in my opinion, especially when driving or taking a walk.
â@@Good_Hot_Chocolate mhm! one of the best things to aee during the holidays!
Yeah in america, usually people celebrate Christmas together on Christmas eve or Christmas day. But stay at home and spend time with their families on Christmas day opening gifts. But as an american, Christmas is like another family reunion for the end of the year. So i just go around to different houses and visit different family members on Christmas day if they are having company over. I would assume that when people have a Christmas party gathering on Christmas eve or Christmas day in america, whether youâre a couple or not, everyone gathers at different peopleâs homes to celebrate and have a gathering with everyone: friends, family, significant others along with children all in one party.
It always surprises me when I watch videos like this, I thought Koreans were very family oriented, I mean they are, but they arenât at the same time. They mentioned not spending time with their family, but their girlfriend or boyfriend. That always surprises me for some reason. As much misinformation gets said about America, we are very family oriented, we spend holidays with both family and friends. Going to multiple parties to fit everyone in, itâs really busy, but very fun and relaxing at the same time. We spend it with everyone, all we can fit in.
Side note, I also realized that while watch a lot of Asian dramaâs. The scenes where someone is rushed to the hospital! Iâm always saying, âwhy didnât you call that persons family?!â âWhere are their parents?!â They donât find out someone was in the hospital till days later, if at all! Thatâs not how it happens here, if someone gets hurt, first call is to the parents, then family, and friends, hospital waiting rooms are full of family waiting to see their loved ones. Sorry, just wanted to add that in here, since itâs sort of related. đ
I think that some holidays are less oriented towards families in asian countries partially because we already have traditional holidays that do that so then additional holidays popularized in the West become more for couples and less important
@@prisharai7225 makes sense.đđœ
is so interesting that koreans treat christmas as a couple holiday! christmas has always been about gathering as a family for me (im from singapore)
its not just a Singaporean thing. Christmas has always been about getting together with friends, family, and community
â@@julianzuniga8905 he never said it was just Singapore. He said where is from
Christmas in the US is basically Thanksgiving but with presents and slightly different food choices. My family however, makes relatively the same meal for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It is very interesting to be looking at there reactions! Merry Christmas everyone!
Ahhh I love Chacha and Choi together, plus its been a while since we've seen Austin. Hope everyone has a great holiday; whatever you celebrate!

Merry Christmas OSSC. Always keep up the good work.
Don't forget your family, they want be here forever. Don't forget to have fun everyday.
Austin in the house! Great to see him again. Happy Holidays to all. âđ·đđŸđ đ»đâđż
I grew up celebrating christmas on Christmas Eve!! All of our family gathers up and we wait till 12 to open presents and then next day we just eat leftovers lollll
Actually Disney does fireworks every night. At least they do at Disney world.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Feliz Navidad!!!đđâ€ïž
Christmas is celebrated as a Christian religious holiday in the US with the exchange of gifts representing the gifts by the Magi to the infant Jesus. The Nativity is seen as the origin of Christs earthly family and on Christmas families come together to eat, laugh, share gifts and pray .
Now let them see how Australians do it haha. December is summer for us so we have water balloon fights/barbecue/ice cream and a beach day :) and some surfers will dress up as Santa. Australian Christmas is such a good vibe.
No
I think a cute idea for a video would be for each pair to decorate a Christmas tree! It would be cool to see how they decide to design/decorate one.
Here in America I would say it's more about seeing the kids all happy opening gifts on Christmas morning and just spending time with family. My family used to have a big get together every year and it would be at a different persons house each year. Sadly we don't anymore but it's some of my favorite memories from my childhood.
In most of America the scale of Christmas isnât like most of the vlogs in the video (but it would be nice if they were đ).
Christmas in Korea is SO âcouple orientedâ and thatâs so strange, considering whatâs being celebrated-if youâre aware of the Christmas season anyway. People feel left out of a completely romantic relationship-free holiday like Christmas rather than spend it happily, from what my friends say.
Thatâs really sad. One thing Americans do really well is the âidc if I donât have a s/o, Iâm gonna have a good time on my own or with other peopleâ. đ â€ïž
Doesnât code much to get a small Christmas tree, some budget-friendly lifts/decorations for it. I feel like getting a cake for Xmas (considering Xmas is about Jesus and thereâs no way he/sheâs gonna get to eat it) is strange, but if it makes people happy, then good for them đâ€ïžđ¶
Very interesting. For me, the holiday has always been about the first 6 letters in the word CHRISTmas. Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. I do love coming together with friends & loved ones and giving gifts as well. The world always seems a little better during that time of year. My favorite holiday. đ„° Thanks for sharing!
Well, that's interesting when in reality Christmas has nothing to do with Christ: not his birthdate, not his tradition and not even a Christian event. It's incredible how traditions lose their meaning, isn't it?
@@Sayitlikitiz101 whats your point?
Merry Christmas to all OSSC especially the spinsters )))
My extended family has a really fun Christmas gathering every year. We have a big dinner. We sing Christmas carols. We sometimes play games. Until a few years ago (when it was decided that the grandkids were too old for it), we would always have a talent show where all the grandkids would prepare a talent, like playing the piano, performing a song, play instruments, or even show off some karate moves. Honestly, it's so much fun :) I wish I could take you guys one year so you can experience the true spirit of Christmas here in the States!
I wonder why they didnât show kids opening presents bc thatâs who Christmas is for over here. The babies
Merry Christmas!! Happy new year!!
* my Christmas tree been up since last year. Christmas is my favorite Holiday. đ„°
3:22 I think that is Disney World in Florida. The 50th anniversary banner was on the Cinderella Castle.
Merry Christmas OSSC!đđ
Merry Christmas guys. Very much a family holiday in the U.S. A big thumbs up.
Every time I see videos like this, I want to grab them and bring them home with me so they can experience holidays like we do. đ
On 23rd/24th people celebrate with families (EU country). But we do also have company parties (on whatever date suits best, sometimes even in january lol) and i know my mom at least each year also celebrates a little with friends near christmas. As it happens, my parents divorced about ten yrs ago, so i now get to have an evening with dad, and another with mom. Sis also comes with me to both. We've also had her boyfriend at the time over, once also one of her best friends. Back in the day, when my grandparents were alive, we'd celebrate at their place :D The usual date for gifts and dinner is 23rd, but i guess it can also depend on which date best works for each family.
Christmas gets lonely and only gets worse as you get older.
if you dont get married and dont have kids then yeah.
Merry Christmas and safe New Year to you and your families!!!!!! Your friend, Bob Compton, from Maryland, USA
As its Christmas will Chacha be a fairy on my tree
Merry Christmas!
I was blessed with a family that always went big with Christmas hence all my most cherished memories are from then. Christmas season for me starts the day after Halloween đ I could not care less from January to October then November 1st hits and my tree and decor goes up, my wreath is on the door and my Xmas playlist starts getting played again. Yes Iâm that annoying person. Then Jan 1st my Xmas stuff goes down and Iâm sad again lol
Merry Christmas đ
I never thought Christmas would be different for every country like obviously everyone has their traditions but celebrating with couples instead of family ?!?đ
It seems like in South Korea they make everything a couples day or thing , when actually it's a family thing and invite your closest friends. On Christmas , Thanksgiving and New years that's all family and closest friends all together.
Merry Christmas đâïžâ€ïž
for christmas we wore matching pjs even my dog wore matching pjs
Christmas in America is about family, but we also invite friends. Family isn't just immediate family either. A lot of cousins, aunts, uncles, people who are related but your not quite sure how, they all come. My house we usually have about 18 people who are all family come not including some close family friends soemetimes.
I think marketing teams in most Asian countries made it to be a couples holiday because it's a western tradition & the older generation wouldn't be interested. I'm curious to see as the years go by if it will evolve into a family holiday or remain as a couple holiday.
Americans are doing great when it comes to decorate even for the outdoor part of the house. Meanwhile here in Indonesia, since it's a tropical country with rainy season just happens to be in December, it's kinda hard to put decorations outdoor :v
Merry Christmas everyone đ
Time to show them German/Austrian Christmas. :D
All I want for X Mas is Chachađ
The tree is a big deal in America. It's part of the magic!
The best trees are the real ones
Man itâs so fun seeing different cultures see our culture. Iâm glad they donât see us as the usual fat gun loving Americans lmao. đ
Have a Very Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!
đđđ
Feliz navidad
Itâs about family . Not pictures that are perfect although depending if you go out for Christmas dinner or make it at home depends on the formality.
Those US vlogs weren't very representative of most peoples Christmas celebrations. It's usually a holiday for family.
I have Covid so this year I will be isolating :(
Merry Christmas*ÌŁÌ„âđ
So, I think only in the US did our parents tell us there was a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and tooth fairy. One finally figures it out when you're 8 years old. Christmas was presents under the tree, Easter was finding a basket full of candy and the tooth fairy would leave us 10c under our pillow at night. I have no religion, but the family still celebrates Christmas and Easter so I do also. Go figure.
This honestly upsets me. The whole reason why Christmas even exists is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We give presents as the wisemen gave presents to the baby Messiah. We use the time to create new memories with our loved ones. Itâs so sad that no one in Korea seems to have taken the time to research what Christmas is really all about. đ
Valentineâs Day, February 14 is coupleâs day. Thatâs the day we spend with our significant other. Flowers, candy and going out for a romantic dinner.
Tonight I will go my mother's family Christmas eve party. My aunt says to expect 35-40 people. Tomorrow I'll be with my sister and her family. My kids are grown and live away from me now.
Christmas is about couple sun Korea? đł that is a shocker
itâs different because they celebrate it just to celebrate it, american christmas is more religious focused.
make a video of them reacting to the singer anitta
Yall forgot about people shooting in the air
How can you make a video comparing Christmas, while not having a single normal US Christmas in the video? Christmas is celebrated with family, it's about the kids, good food, the family meal, not these random vlogs of parties or going out to see a parade...
Could you react to future town by paida?
Pls react to Björn Andrésen he was the most handsome boy in the 70,s
Plis React to Guru Gee song Nang ngei I ni...... He is a singer from India Northeast.. A state called Mizoram
Who the heck eats sushi on Christmas day? Lol
The back ground music was a little long couldn't really focus
Iâm still incredibly shocked that Christmas isnât seen as a family oriented holiday in Korea! I always viewed Korea as a âheavy- family orientedâ type of culture but I keep hearing couple this couple that. Although, couples are still considered family in my bookâŠitâs different but itâll do. I still found the Korean clips incredibly cute because there was love.
But come onâŠwe work so hard and we get a short break to be with anyone..Valentines day is literally right around the corner too?? And Korea has two! đ
Is it because the older Korean generation did not celebrate Christmas and it became popular more recently so couples just celebrate it together? Just trying not to judge?
I would like to see more reactions about europe etc. Not always USA.
It makes sense it would be a couple things due to the lack of children in modern Korean society.
Merry Christmas everyone

Very odd videos chosen, none with families or with kids and also no religious ones - which is silly since at its heart Christmas is of course a religious holiday.
Merry Christmas đ
