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

oh my gosh emily this is like, narrative ASMR

"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.

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

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."

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

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

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.

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).

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?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Australia Christmas: 1. get ready for Christmas 2.wish you were in the snowy mountains like the LUCKY ONES 3. Look at Christmas lights on Christmas eve 4. For some reason at school you have to watch Christmas carols that had Santa surfing and in mens swimmer pants and sunglasses, and also being sunburnt 5. Christmas food (meat pie and lamingtons) 6. Presents 7. Check the weather chart for snow even though it’s never gonna snow 8. Swim in the kiddy pool and have a barbie 9. Be tired for a whole 3 weeks after Christmas holidays. The end.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm Hungarian. When I was young, like 8 year old, we used to have snow. Since then, unless if you don't live in the hills... DURING SPRING, you basically will never see proper snow. I can relate a lot, Christmas is still the same, just not at all white

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

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

As an indian, I absolutely love winters too. We don't have snow in the state I live in but it's still amazing! I'm really excited when the thick blankets are out. Winters are amazing no matter where I live.

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

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

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

"Hope you all have a wonderful start to 2020" GODDAMN THAT DID NOT AGE WELL.

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

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

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

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:)

As a Canadian I complain every year about the Snow without doubt. But I’d rather be shovelling my driveway than having to mow my lawn.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I used to live in California. One inch of snow and it was a snow day, which happened once. Where I live now(which I’ll leave unnamed for privacy reasons), we once got a white Thanksgiving. Big difference.

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

"Wonderful start to 2020" that was a good joke

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

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

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

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

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

People who never saw snow "I love snow its so aesthetic!" *A person who lives in a state that snows all the time*

Proceeds to eat the fake snow - wait, this is not snow? I don’t feel good…..

Bro. Australia

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_

Me in Australia: trying imaging Christmas in winter when i’ve only ever seen snow 2 times in my entire life.

*Canadians can't relate*

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 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!)

I remember my gran used to tell me stories of when she was a kid she'd get list in the snow so often her parents had to dress her up in a red dress to find her lol 😂

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

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 (:

4:55 kids in MN will have this half the year but it is just so special at Christmas

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.

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

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

I Relate So much with laying in the snow just forgetting all my problems. "Have a great 2020!" Oh wait...

Emily: "getting a snow day on the house phone" Me 2022: *online class* whelp there goes my snow days

Emily: *Talks about how amazing snow and cold are* Me being a Filipina: So the stories are true 😮 Edit: Daming nakaka-relate ah? XD

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

Basically Emily this whole video: non stop talking about the best childhood anyone could ask for.

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

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

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

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.

Bro Australia Edit: THERE IS SOOO MANY FIRES, R.I.P EVERYWHERE IS BURNING PLS HALP 2nd Edit: I have volunteered to help any wildlife or bring supplies to places in need if you can do that it helps a lot

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

Come to Idaho, we've got potatoes year round and snow during the winter, as well as large neighborhoods that decorate their houses just for people to look at.

"Christmas in California kinda sucks" me who lives in the frickin desert

Me living in a country near the equator: *Snow does not exist here.*

“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 :,(

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

Trust me as someone who lives in the Midwest where we get a lot of snow you would absolutely hate the snow as you get older because shoveling is a pain in the neck and you also have to deice your driveway and sidewalk and stairs because no matter if you warn people or not about ice there are those people that don’t listen to the warning and if they slip on ice that is a lawsuit coming your way

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

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.

I’m a figure skater and tbh I could get used to the idea of not being in a rink literally ALL Christmas season. For some reason all my shows and competitions are ALL in January and February

Emily: NO SNOW IT SUCKS Aussies: First time?

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

7:29 *Well, that didn’t age well.*

"and a good start to 2020" that sentence aged like milk

As a Texan, and someone who has lived in Texas his entire life, I can tell you that the one time we have ever had snow wasn't a pleasant one.

lowkey this years christmas just feels off. it doesn’t even feel like december honestly. i’m used to having a snow day already and 3inch snow already on the ground. this year there’s barely any snow, and christmas is legit in a day and it’s gonna be 42 degrees... hUh?

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