奥様の事をガールフレンドと呼んでたり、子供たちへの愛をも感じれて素敵です。視てて心が暖かく楽しくなりました ありがとうございました🤞🤞

[@comarites]

In Japan, many people are still working on Christmas, but the truth is, they are in a jubilant mood. You see people lining up to buy cakes in the streets, trying to just enjoy the atmosphere in spite of their busy schedules😊 It would be nice if people in Japan were encouraged to spend time with family and close friends during the Christmas season and into the new year!

White Christmas! Wow

The song Sarah played on the recorder is the same one I played when I was in elementary school. really nostalgic. I would like to attend the Christmas Mass someday.🎄

Haha, the whole reason we came across your channel is because I am doing Japanese on Duo and watching various youtubers contributions. Your family take is refreshing.

[@LIJ]

That's awesome!

I never get tired hearing John 3:16. Would love to join you for church on Christmas. Unfortunately I'm 10,000 miles away. Merry Christmas to you and the whole family. We celebrate because now our sins are white as snow.

[@everythingisbetterwithchoc1679]

This is amazing!! I love seeing Christmas in Japan. My dad used to work for a company based in Japan and he would travel there once a month. He always talked about what it was like, even including the little fact that KFC is the staple Christmas dinner!!! He really misses it, but I don't think he could give up our white Christmases here in Minnesota!!

Congrats on 19 years! 🎉 I celebrate 19 years as well in 11 days!! Joshua losing two teeth in one video reminds me of the day my son lost one tooth in the morning and one at bedtime. 🤪 I have been really enjoying the positive light you shine on life in your videos as my family deals with a difficult issue at this time. Praying for comfort as the holidays continue. I am also keeping an eye out for a white Christmas in Central IL but I don’t think it is in the plan this year.

[@LIJ]

Thanks for letting us know - there's nothing quite as special as a white Christmas!

[@khuddle731]

Merry Christmas!!

[@caitlynt2864]

Every year my daughter and I watch your video of Ruth showing us how to make her yummy Christmas cookies! They have turned into our must have cookie recipe for Christmas cookies! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Ps. My daughters name is Ella and she is 6 years old and loves watching your kids in the videos! She think its so cool they can speak Japanese and get to live in Japan! She says " Hi Anna, Becca, Sarah, and Joshua! I love your videos! Good job singing Sarah!" She also wanted to tell Joshua she just lost a tooth too earlier this month!.. Thank you!

[@LIJ]

Aww! Thanks for letting us know. And tell Ella "hi" from all of the Reutter's!

Wishing you the Merriest Christmas!! I decorated outside the other day before the snow and arctic cold hit Colorado. Seeing the fall colors in Tokyo was really interesting. I didn't realize the fall season lasted so long there.

[@LIJ]

Merry Christmas! Yes, fall lasts all the way up until the New Year in the Tokyo area :).

so crazy to see you guys' old place about to be torn down, so many memories made there ❤

His siblings are a little upset that he lost them all at once. He lost 3 teeth in one week! However we pulled out one before Nate could video it. 😂

Am considering attending with my daughter. It is around 1hr by train. The environment is familiar to mine growing up.

[@LIJ]

Please do!

[@42bonsai]

Thanks for your Christian Witness and for sharing Japan with your audience, including myself. Over 30 years ago, I lived on the island of Guam for three years. Traveled through Narita International several times with some layovers as well. I would love to visit Japan more extensively with my wife, maybe it will happen in our retirement. Always remember both the Cradle and the Cross. Jesus is the reason for the Season. The Cradle shows us God is Emmanuel and the Cross is God who takes our deserved consequences and suffers that we might have forgiveness, love and life eternal. O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Silent Night, and Joy to the World.

[@dpahfl]

I got sentimental seeing your old house covered in tarps. I'm sure it was harder for you seeing it like that.

Maybe a stupid question, but are the kids allowed to practice the flute for example at home? You always hear that it's a no-no with the thin walls and all..

[@LIJ]

They practice enough at school that she didn't have to practice at home :)
