最後の石の話が微笑ましくて良い！ 小さい頃の感情を思い出してノスタルジックな気分になりました

[@hana_no_wemahi]

動画を観続けて数年、最近アナさんとベッカさんの見分けがつくようになってきました。何だか嬉しい。

[@LIJ]

おめでとう！

こたつはね 掛け布団と掛け布団の間に入って寝るのが最高なんよ

[@nikkibun89]

I can only imagine how cozy the Kotatsu is! I wouldn't want to leave from under it either. The colors of the trees and the sky is just magnificent! Breakfast looked delightful as well! Happy Weekend to you all!

[@comarites]

The happy atmosphere around the kotatsu is very nice.😊 And it totally looks like a Japanese home. I want to relax under a kotatsu at my parents' house at the end of the year, too😅 The girls in aprons helping out are so cute! This is the same supermarket that is in my neighborhood. Each store is different, baking its own bread and so on.

普段季節をゆっくり感じることもあまりなく忙しく過ぎてしまう日々で、この動画によって立ち止まって、季節を感じることが出来ます😌✨夕焼けも綺麗🌇 秋〜冬は1番好きなのでゆっくり感じたいけど動画で癒されます☺️マンションの下の広場の木々など季節感感じ、子供達伸び伸びと良いですね😊子供達がコタツに入ってくつろいでるのを見るとこちらもホッコリします💞寝ちゃったりしませんか？ 洋服など普段の買い物の様子も興味深かったです😊✨

福島市からいつも観ていますよ！ファミリーの暖かさが伝わってきます😍

ご視聴ありがとう！ いつかはそこを訪れることができるといいね。

Our favorite part is seeing all the lights in town

[@Jusyasm]

I am so thankful for your videos, they are SO nice to watch! The comments, tone of voice, pace, music are just right... Exactly what I need after a long and stressful day😊 keep em coming!!

[@2001subway]

n winter in Japan, family gatherings around kotatsu heat up. Lots of memories will be made!

[@danhill1186]

Your transition to winter looks cozy! You look all prepared 😁 I applaud the patience the kids displayed when sorting the colours 😄

[@LIJ]

It was their idea! They persisted with it in amazing fashion.

[@danhill1186]

@@LIJ that's awesome! 😄

[@beepboop4833]

@@LIJ Hi what's the background music at 5:33? I've heard it in so many videos but I was never able to find it haha. It sounds like a news jingle

[@nyarome3]

With thanks for the past year. Please have a happy Christmas!　🙂🤗　少し早いけど。

[@karmad.twelve6613]

Earlier this week, I had one of your music themes stuck in my head that you play throughout these videos, Nate! Thank you so much for creating these magical moments with all of your well-established production skills! Especially the music! Although everything else is excellent as well! The song near the end is one of my favourites!

[@LIJ]

Aw, thanks so much! Should I release these songs at some point? :)

[@karmad.twelve6613]

I would listen to them!@@LIJ

冬は炬燵でホットドリンクを飲みながらまったり過ごします🍩☕ 幸せを感じる一時であります🎵

[@ninaspiaggia4405]

I enjoy watching the videos now during my lunch break. They are so relaxing. My favourite activity on friday, especially when I am stressed or tired from work

[@LIJ]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@破壊大王]

こたつは入ったら出たくなくなるので出来るだけ使わないようにしています。最高だからこそ特に寒い冬の日は入ったら出るときに辛くなるので。でもでも気持ちよさは間違いなくサイコーなのはわかります!

[@nikoniho]

この動画をこたつに入りながら見ています❤ポカポカこたつから離れられません〜😅

[@samrutster]

Sorry I missed Christmas at Paz church this year, but was super glad to get to say hi to my friends there before I left Tokyo! Keep blessing the world with your amazing videos!

[@CamilaCastro-f1c]

I love this kind of videos!!! hugs and kisses for the family!!

[@たちなか-x5o]

For many years, we Japanese have formed close family relationships in small spaces. From the children's perspective, living in Japan with no privacy may be uncomfortable. However, I am sure that the days you spent living closely with your family will become your treasure.

[@SatoruWata]

😍💕Happy family and KOTATSU are the perfect combination !! 🤣💦💨💯

[@LIJ]

The best!

[@steph.a.7517]

Happy Holidays

最後の石の話、深い・・・

[@SABRINA.ARMY.BTS.]

A kotatsu would have been nice last week ! I live in Germany and last week was snowy and the temperature was between -7 to -2 degrees Celsius and my heated flooring wasn’t working ! I love it when the leaves change color it looks beautiful

[@LIJ]

If it's going to be cold, might as well have snow with it!

[@k0z0n3]

アメリカは日本と違ってセントラルヒーティングで家全体が温かいのですよね。お母さんが寒いの大変そうだった。

[@world-meets6760]

しょうがない　：　It's a useful word。

[@千葉良樹]

最近、実家や田舎で主流のコタツは灯油温風ファンヒーターの送風口に蛇腹状の管を置いてもう一方の管の口をコタツの中に入れて暖気を取り込むのが多いみたい東京では見たこと無いけど(笑) 部屋も足も暖かく電気代が安く済むらしいよ

[@LIJ]

こたつに入れば、暖房をたくさん使わなくても、みんなが暖かく過ごせるのがいい。

[@ふわふわ-f8r]

黒いお煎餅は、ゴマのお煎餅ですね。😄 いま、コタツがある家が減っていますが　我が家もコタツ派なので　かかせません😄 ライターさん一家と同じ♪

[@RagnarokArrives]

Let us know when the colors all get sorted. Hope we get a little video of your upcoming Paz Christmas celebration.

[@橋口勉-y3r]

おお！炬燵の場所が変わったんですね　畳の部屋からソファーの前に　まさに　文化の融合　(*´▽｀*) サラちゃんとジョシア君の　ランドセルを背負った姿も　全く違和感が無いし　(・∀・)ｲｲﾈ!! パパさんの会話は何となく理解できるけど　ママちゃんの少し早い会話は　もっと私の努力が必要なようです でも　愉しめるライタ－家のみんなの様子　(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

The kotatsu looks so cozy! How's the bead factory? 😊

It's all but done now I believe!

[@elteescat]

Here in Ohio the leaves are already mostly gone. But we're having a warmer than usual December this year so there's actually still some green on the shorter shrub trees. And all the grass is still green. Ordinarily, winter would have already reared its ugly head by now, but it hasn't yet this year which is great for my electrc bill! I'm still waiting to see if my new kotatsu will make a difference on those massive heating bills when it's below zero outside! Lol

[@LIJ]

Our kotatsu makes it so we don't have to keep it so warm inside (when it gets really cold outside) - so it does help to keep heating cost down. I'm glad you'll be trying one out!

[@elteescat]

@@LIJ I can't wait!

[@2Click-My-iCON]

セントラルヒーティングは暖かいと思うけど、エネルギーの無駄です。世界中がセントラルヒーティングで日本は寒いって言い、温暖化でエネルギー消費を抑えるべきとも言う。セントラルヒーティングは家自体を暖めるので大きなエネルギーが必要。日本のようにこたつとストーブやエアコンにすれば半分以下のエネルギーになるはずです。 勿論、極寒の地ではセントラルヒーティングは必要ですけどね。 真冬にセントラルヒーティングで半袖で過ごしている人が、温暖化問題で他国を批判するのは滑稽です。

0:01 nice greetings. Thank you very much for your hard work.

[@Mikaela_Westmt]

Gosh, your living room looks so warm and comfy with that kotatsu! I'm so scared that my lazy butt will become even lazier once I have one in my house, (plus vacuuming becomes a bit of a hassle around kotatsu area, doesn't it?) so I decided long time ago that it's not something that I should own.....even tho I'm Japanese..and I grew up with it.... Now I'm having second thoughts. Ngl, it's tempting 😂😂😂

[@LIJ]

It's not easy to get out of for sure!

The music sounds great! Are you going to put your Christmas Eve service online? Christmas Eve at Church is such a special time! My kids love the singing and the candle lighting! What are some of your family Christmas traditions? Our favourite traditions are reading our advent devotional and lighting the advent wreath, advent calendars, Christmas movie weekends and making a birthday cake (or whatever dessert we want) for Jesus and singing happy birthday to him on Christmas Day than we have it for breakfast! Have a fantastic weekend

[@LIJ]

What a great tradition! We do similar things, a lot of them around the Kotatsu this year. The Christmas service will be online at @PAZChurch - but look for it early because 10:00 AM on the 24th in Japan is a lot earlier in other parts of the world!

[@daylecb]

@@LIJ sounds cozy! I would love a kotatsu, but heated blankets will have to do. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada! So I believe that will be 7pm on the Saturday, can’t wait to watch!

Just out of curiosity: Do the twins need braces and if so: How’s the process in Japan in braces?

[@ruthreutter8355]

Yes, we want to get them braces but the Japanese dentists won’t start until all their permanent teeth and molars are in!
