People living in tropical countries: Snow? I don't know such thing.

Emily at the end: "Have a great 2020!" Me: "Aww, that's so nice!" Me 3 months later: "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've quite possibly been bamboozled."

"A wonderful start to 2020 :D" Well we all know how *that* went

As a Filipina who has never touched snow before, I feel you, Emily.

oh my gosh emily this is like, narrative ASMR

Emily: *has seen snow* Me: *laughs in life-long Floridian*

From Canada here and can confirm winter is still fun even with driving (especially with drifting around a quiet neighbourhood corner) and having to scrape my car the only thing that ive always hated about winter is the constant shovelling. as another note i live near the mountains so the hills are steep for tobogganing and I am still shocked i never broke a bone or my face going off icy ramps at the bottom of one of those hills.

To be honest, you really transported me to that peaceful moment from the snow falling at night. It was very relaxing

Can we talk about how good she is at narrating calm, beautiful stories.

Other people: When it's summer, do you miss the snow? Californians: *You can't miss what you've never had.*

East coasters: If you live in a city with subways, the west coast doesn't really have that, but they do have trams. Also, no soft pretzels, Philly or NY cheesesteaks, italian(water) ice, or Tasty Cake Products. They also say sub or sub sandwich instead of Hoagie. This is most of a culture shock for people who live on the east coast but are in the Mid-Atlantic, New England Area, Maryland, and (IG) Florida (but the Miami part).

6:24 sums up how new Zealand and Australia feel during Christmas each year, but we do BBQ or go to the beach on Christmas

Emily: I hope you all have a wonderful start to 2020 people watching in 2020: PFFFFFFFFT, YEAH RIGHT!

Emily: "Christmas in california kinda sucks" Australian: "First time?"

growing up without snow, i found that i found the comfort of the holidays and festive times whenever it was freezing cold. like right now! the nights would come much quicker and since i live on top of a hill, fog is pretty common around this time and i LOVE it. i love seeing the fog outside and the christmas lights of my neighbors. there is no wind, but its really cold, and sometimes the moon shines through the fog and clouds and its beautiful. the air also seems very misty and humid, like a huge cloud passing through me. its very cold when that happens when i open a window and just stand right next to it, but i love it. i wish i could experience snow for the holidays, but, i dont think anything could ever replace what i have right now

As a person who's lived in the tropics for 17 years since birth Relatable All of it Except actual snow _having never witnessed snow despite having always wanted to_

Emily: "Merry Christmas and a great start to 2020!" 2020: *Like that's ever gonna happen*

NY: Let’s build a snowman Canada: Lets shovel the entire country

I live in canada and I feel the same about winter and snow honestly everyone in my school waits it out till mid november thats when we get oh god how am I going to get to school snow and then all hell breaks loose and it's so fun and falling asleep while watching the blizard outside or drinking hot chocolate in front of a fireplace during a blizard is just amazing

Love the Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence In the background! It's one of my favourite songs.:)

im australian. ive never had a snowy christmas, or snow.

"Merry Christmas and a great start to 2020!" to be fair she only said "start"

The fact that Emily has such good narrating is amazing!!

You're voice is so soothing and relaxing to listen to. That's why I love you videos. :)

“...A wonderful start to 2020!” 8 months later: *Sigh.

Emily: mom can we get Christmas Mom: we have Christmas at home Christmas at home:

You actually summarize my feeling towards winter as well. Something just so magical about this time of year, then you calmly walking under snowfall, breathing frosty air and relaxing with cap of tea at home afterwards. Great video, thank you:)

Imagine living in Colorado and NOT HAVING SNOW AROUND CHRISTMAS FOR TWO YEARS STRAIGHT

Emily: “and have a great 2020!” Hunny, you got a big storm coming.

Emily complains about how california Christmas is lame. Brazilian and Australian christmas: Allow us to introduce ourselves!

Oh GOD. You've hit me with Narnia. I loved the first movie! Also your wrapping skills are fine. They just need the ribbons around them. 8/10.

The silence when snow falls is the most ominously beautiful sound ever. It's like, even though you like in a city and there are cars, and dogs, and people, the snow just stops all that noise. When I was in high school and just out graduated, I took long walks to get out of the house for a while. In the winter, I remember walking down the street when it would snow and there'd be no one out. Just me, no cars, no other walkers, just me and whatever I was listening to on my phone. I remember how the silence and that cold stillness was just so comforting, somehow. I remember I'd had some particularly bad times in that part of my life and I'd take a walk to just cry it all out. I remember that, even though it wouldn't freeze, all the tears I cried out got so cold that it was like an icy brand on my cheeks and I'd come back with rosy cheeks and frostbitten streaks under my eyes. Honestly, I miss that. This year, winter was about 50-75 degrees in KS and it just didn't feel like winter. And now that Christmas is over, NOW ITS DECIDED TO GET SNOWY OKAY.

Emily: *has seen snow* Me: *cries in Australian summer and has only seen snow when she went to england that one time*

Emirichu: California Christmas sucks... Australians: sure buddy!

i live in eastern america, so when we get snow, it's after christmas. im used to having grey christmases (christmases where it rains instead of snows) so when i got to experience my first white christmas last year, i loved it.

4:50 That's a beautiful story. Memories like that stick with you for the rest of your life. Those moments are what life is all about.

NY: lets build a snowman California: lets build a sandman

Emily: *talks about how boring Christmas in California is, compared to her childhood* People who live in tropical countries: :0

I’ll admit, in Kentucky, it barely snows in the winter. And when it does, it’s always too little or too much. For almost my whole life, I have never experienced having a White Christmas, and me and my brother are always hoping for one, because it seems to make the day feel that much more cozy and relaxing.

Hi! I love the vids emirichu. I would just like to say thank you because as a canadian it seems like snow is annoying but knowing how it feels in california is kinda just surprising

"Christmas is lame in California" *me crying in Australian"

"i dont know if youve noticed we are on fire, a lot" Australia: am I a joke to you?

I live in New Jersey so it was always magical when it snowed even if it was like a centimeter cuz it rarely snowed and I always love building little snowmen out of the very limited snow, snowballs, and snow angels

Man, I really agree with you on how the snow is just so relaxing.

Bro. Australia

"And i would always hope school was closed" *LAUGH'S IN FINLAND* (Also *NEVER* *PASS* *OUT* *IN* *THE* *SNOW* you will die)

This video it’s 2 years old but Christmas is so dear to my heart. I live in Minnesota and have for my entire life. I get sick of winter easily but , After a long hot summer you start really looking forward to it. My favorite season is autumn. Since it’s cold, not too cold that you feel like you’re gonna get frostbite, but cold enough that you have to wear a sweater. Sitting outside In the chilly weather while checking out the fallen leaves, the bare trees, the Halloween decor. It’s all so fun and honestly, brings me back to my earliest memories of Halloween.

Try the San Bernardino mountain area in southern California, like Big Bear and Running Springs. Those places always get snow during the winter. Many tourists go up there for the snowboarding and skiing every winter. January and February are the best months to go. We don't normally get much snow in December. I've lived here my whole life so I would know

Emily: Snow!! Me a Mexican: So the legends are true...

I recommend the pacific northwest. When we get fires, they get doused with rain, and we have snowy Christmases most times. And when we don't, it's an hour's drive to a snowy place. :) (I speak as a Texan who has the opposite experience as you - I LOVE the snow and moved here specifically because we've gotten it in Portland every year since I got here in 2016!)

The memory at 4:51.. wow, I could see it with my eyes closed. You're such a good writer Emily!

Emily : *misses playing in the snow* Me: *has never played in snow* :,)

*Canadians can't relate*

the part where you talked about just lying there in the snow and existing was honestly amazing. When the ryuichi sakamoto kicked in I felt something I didn't expect to feel while watching this but the one thing that really stuck with me was just your memory of that night. I'm still pretty young (in high school) so I still don't have many responsibilities I need to worry about but I likely only have a couple of years before I will. I'm probably a bit older than you were when you were lying down in the snow and watching it fall but I still want to have a magical experience like that before I reach adulthood. I feel like time is just passing me by and in the future I'll probably regret how I spent me teenage years, which is why I want to appreciate little things like this while I can. Next winter (r maybe this winter if I'm really lucky because I'm typing this in February and here in upstate new york it snows until late march/early april/sometimes later) I'll definitely be sure to go outside, lie in the snow, and just feel appreciate everything happening around me because from how you described it, it definitely sounds like something I want to experience while I'm still young I just realized I spent 20 minutes typing a comment no one will read lmao

emi your fondest memorie of the snow is what i love to do while star gazing just minus the snow

We’re on fire, alot. Australia: oh is that so?

germany sucks too sometimes. Wenn you look outside it’s sunny but when you go outside it’s cold. *Never trust the sun*

This made me tear up a bit as someone who has never seen snow in my life due to living in Florida my entire life and I've only traveled a bit coldest place iv been to is Georgia and seeing this video describing snow to peacefully is making me WAY more eager to see it

Ah, winter, the season that takes up half the year yet still manages to hail during spring. Also the only I actively prefer going outdoors seeing the glistening snow and the sharp needles of air. I especially love it when it's high winds as well, the times where you can't see what's ahead really puts your memory to the test in the woods. But my favorite thing, simply sitting on my stairs at night just observing nature and relishing the fact I never use coats but instead the protection of shorts, sandals and a tank top

"Wonderful start to 2020" that was a good joke

People: there is no such thing as “snow” in California Lake Tahoe & Sierra mountains: am I a joke to you?

I agree, I think winter is magical Seeing snow out of the window when I wake up, it feels so magical and happy

As someone who has seen snow just once in life on my greatest holiday ever(went to a beautiful hill station in summer), I just get overhyped whenever the temperature in my place falls below, something like, 10°C. It has never snowed at my place, and it never will, but I still hope to one day, see those white flakes, seemingly falling out of the stars, under the Milky Way at 12 in the night, like I did back when I was 6.

Emily: "Even in Winter it's like 60° outside" Europeans: "Oh no wonder everythings on fire there!" :O

As a Canadian who grumbles about the cold every year, you made it sound so sweet and romantic. Thanks for that

I feel you. Moved from Canada to NC, no snow here at all.

I know how you feel! I love snow!😻

Emily: “and have a great 2020!” Yeah... a year we will never forget...

Emily: Have a wonderful start to 2020 2020: I'm about to end this woman's whole career.

I love how well you describe this. I totally agree and I don’t think I could move south because of the lack of snow.

I relate to Emily here I'm Australian so all my Christmases are in the summer but the rest of my family are in the UK so seeing photos of them playing in the snow makes me really really want to experience a white Christmas (or just see snow for the first time) *sigh* one day

Being from Michigan, one awesome thing about all the snow that people tend to forget is the SILENCE. The snow just kinda muffles everything and there’s never many people outside in the winter, so it really can feel somewhat mystical at times.

Emirichu: "Not to sound like a Hallmark movie or anything." Also Emirichu: *made an entire movie about childhood Christmas magic*

Even though I live in Australia, I somehow felt the way you felt when you were a kid. Btw you are my favourite youtuber

Born and raised in south Texas, can't miss what you never had lol rip.... I really do wish I could experience snow every winter though, I love the cold and aesthetics. Plus being able to have a little campfire outside in the cold is just tops

Me living in south Arizona: what is “snow?”

I didn't celebrate Christmas and I live in tropical country so there is no such thing as winter. But I really enjoy watching how exciting winter season would be through the TV. I love how the streets would be decorated with beautiful little lights and people excitedly buying presents for each other. I wish I could experience these myself one day :'3

i miss snow when i was younger we moved from new york to florida i remember it was september and i asked my mom why the leaves didn’t change colour i was quite disappointed i haven’t seen snow in like 8 years but i still remember it

OMG AT THE END WHEN U DECORATED THE STOCKINGS WAS SO COOL

“At the end of the day, all that matters is that you have people who love you” Me: “What if I’m lonely?”

imagine actually being cold in Christmas this post was made by Australian gang

can we talk about the part where she narrates calm stories to some people that can probably never experience snow ;-;... makes me wanna go somewhere with snow so badly now

This is why I will never leave to a hot place like sure I’ll never have to worry about frostbite but the frostbite is what makes it fun and and that nice feeling of wrapping yourself in a blanket like your making yourself into a burrito

OooooOoooooooOOOH you think California is on fire.......... you should see Australia

Everyone in Latin America: so there is some soft ice called snow, huh

I live in socal too and because of the geography that surrounds my city it the weather varies so much enough so that we can actually get snow, ofc it is socal so that chance is unlikely but like 9 years ago we had so much snow it was so cool it has snowed since then but not as much

OH MY GOSH, YOU GET IT. I have lived in tropical climate for at least the first 15 years of my life, and 4 years in college at Lubbock, Texas (which has all 4 seasons) was JUST MAGICAL to me.

Cold places: *doest have summer* Cali: *has no winter* Illinois: should we give people sunburn or frost bite?

Bro. Mars.

All your Christmas stuff is so cute

I never experienced real snow, I feel envious for the memories you have from your snowy winters of your childhood.

Bro. Texas.

Bro. Texas

man i love the visuals having snow where everything is covered with snow, i seriously have a wish tht before death i wanna spend one christmas night in nyc, i have heard its a paradise over there during Christmas

Christmas is one of my favorite Holidays! Yes it's because I love spending time with my family 😊

“I’ve been in California for a decade” “I’ve been in California for my whole life and I don’t know how another Christmas feels :,(

Best thing about the cold is that insects don't exist

I lived in new Hampshire when I was a kid and know exactly what you mean I would listen to the radio and when they would say school was cancelled because of a snow day I loved it it was like a different world 🌎 I would cross country 🎿 and downhill skiing and ice skating lakes of ice it was very wonderful 👍

*wonderful start to 2020*

In Australia, the weather gets really hot in the summer which can make it alot of fun having pool parties with family or picnics or going to the beach. I always loved having a warm Christmas even though it can be up to like 40-50 degrees Celsius (104-122 degrees Fahrenheit). I have always wondered what it would be like to spend Christmas in the cold though. (Also, we do not celebrate Christmas in July, we celebrate in December like everyone else lol) Edit: I deleted the states that I thought were the hottest because I wrong. My bad guys (:
