CHRISTMAS EVE BUTTON >>>
Jonah, this time Alex is right, Christmas Eve is better than Christmas hahahaha. Maybe it's because we're Latino, I know, but at least in Mexico it's like a magical moment, few days like that in the year, the food, the music, our loved ones gathered together, everything is beautiful.
Anyway, I love you guys, I like these kinds of conversations, you both always have good things to say 💞
I knew the Latinos would come out to defend Alex
I always like when it’s just you two talking and getting deep into discussion. As a Latino I would like to hear Alex’s coming out story. I’ve been following you guys for awhile now and I don’t remember a video on the subject. Since Alex is of Mexican lineage, and Latin fathers are very macho. Many young Latinos have a difficult time knowing and supporting their gay sons. The way that Alex’s father seems to skirt the issue, reminds me of something my own father would do. My father had a hard life, he was once a Pachuco, and was active during the time when sailors would beat up these “gang members” in East Los Angeles. He put me through college (UCLA and even graduate school at Pepperdine). I ended up never telling him, so he passed away before I even I got the nerve to tell him. I do know, my dad would have liked you, you have this masculine realness that draws people to you. I once asked my dad if he was proud of me, since I’m the complete opposite of him. He actually said since I was such a scholar he loved that he could raise some one like me? Go figure? Keep up the good work, and stay safe. I’m Alex from LA. ❤
thanks for sharing ur story, and dang you sound too smart for me haha
You guys are the BEST!!! You literally sound like my husband and me. I’ve always loved your channel but you are now at the TOP!
I’m obsessed with these two.
mi gente latino ✊️, latin christmas eve is wayyyyyyy better than the most boring morning
Alex is so sassy but I live😂
This is cultural. Any culture that has a heavy catholic influence celebrates the heck out of Christmas Eve - party til the brakes fall off. I’m half Haitian and we would have a party Christmas eve night, go to midnight mass, come home, open presents, eat an obscenely large breakfast and then drive around visiting relatives on Christmas Day. I have a feeling Alex’s father still didn’t speak or did it very half-heartedly. I don’t think Jonah should force the issue or bring it up too much. You have to accept you are Alex’s choice for roommate not his. Stay open and make it known you desire a relationship but don’t be pushy. He’s probably very old school Mexican man and they are not a heart on the sleeve breed. He probably appreciates how good a roommate you are even if he doesn’t agree with the two of you being roommates. And you should be able to talk about anything with family, even if it’s how hurt you are that an opinion came between you.
good advice
Alex is absolutly right in regards to the DOGE thing.
I love the innocence of Christmas Day!!
Xmas eve will always be superior!
Born in Chile (raised in USA)and the dinner was always Christmas Eve, but Christmas day was gift opening day.
I was raised with Christmas day. My husband's family (Catholic) opened gifts on Christmas Eve with a big open house. We are going on 30 years together and alternate every other year between ourselves.
Christmas Eve and the 6th of Jan. We hispanics celebrate the 3 wise men too. Alex should get a rosca de reyes to celebrate it.
wait I wanna celebrate twice for fun haha
Christmas Eve boys! It's got the night and expectation.
Nothing beats waking up to gifts on Christmas Day!!
Xmas Eve for the celebration and Xmas morning for gifts and a big breakfast 😊
The last conversation I had with my dad, “I am glad you have a good friend like Max.” We were together for 37 yrs…..roommates!!! LOL
Why is the camera only on Jonah? Not the rager for Jesus' birthday. 😆 this episode is SENDING ME!
Again, love Alex being ideological rather than opinionated! Unfortunately, our education (wherever we are) doesn’t prepare people to be readily challenged and concede when presented with persuasive information.
Oh dear sweet and pretty Jonah, Alex is 100% right on both Christmas Eve AND the elephant in the room of politics.
The deficit is related to the budget shortfalls that recur every year. The debt is the amount of momney that's already been spent.
It seems as if Jonah is very careful because of his families conservative views and beliefs. It's almost as if he's afraid to school them and educate them about their narrow views and beliefs, so he accepts whatever they say and doesn't truly stand up for himself. Yes, I agree with Alex that education is a major key to knowledge and the ability to think critically. Lots of conservative people are ignorant and completely disregarded of anyone different from them and their beliefs. So, if you're going to preach hearing one another out, Republicans and conservatives would be the best start. These are the same people who are celebrating the ending of DEI... Does your grandfather agree with Trump on that? So yes, Alex, stay "woke" and continue to fight for your rights. Continue to educate the ignorant and their narrow-minded views. America isn't just for straight white Christian men, especially the rich ones. It would be difficult for Jonah to understand something like that, so you must continue to educate him so in turn, he can educate others... not change their minds, but educate them. Hopefully, through education and open minds and hearts, maybe Jonah's family would learn to love him unconditionally, regardless of his sexuality and who he dates.
Politically I'm 100% with Alex. As far as hating onions, I'm with you Jonah.
Jesus was NOT born on Dec 25th, and Christmas originated as a pagan holiday to celebrate the winter solstice and was later adopted by Christians. So there’s that…
I felt this was going back in time but I believe you did one on the fires to let us know you were safe. Jonah you HAVE to update us on one thing. Does Alex's dad avoid you this Christmas. If so maybe seek him out and try to spend a few minutes alone to talk? Both Christmas day and Eve were turned up in my home with like a late night nap it felt like
from Philippines.. Christmas eve !! lets gooooo !!!
Your boyfriend understands the issues better.
AWW I LOVE JONAH ❤️ HES SO ADORABLE AND SEEMS LIKE HE'S A REALLY KIND PERSON.❤❤ ALEX IS SO FUNNY 😅
I think Christmas Day is definitely better as a child. Celebrating Christmas Eve with my older tíos was when I realized I was grown lol
Christmas Eve ALL THE WAY!!
In Hawaii we celebrate eve with everyone food, drinks playing with cousins. Christmas morning youre with your parents and siblings and have the whole day to play with all the new toys and games.
Alex is such a smart ass😆😆😆
Christmas Eve !!! Stores and restaurants are still open!
I just love these two.
As a Colombian, Christmas Eve is just superior >>>
we're in colombia right now
@@RoommateThings Omg, I'd actually die If I saw you guys on the street, such a big fan! Enjoy your trip! 🔥
Christmas Eve!!!!!!! 🎉
Loved this and all your vlogs! Dying to know if Alex’s dad acknowledged your presence at Christmas Jonah! I hope so! 😉🥰
I'm with Jonah. Christmas Day is where the magic is. Lol at this Santa convo. 😂
I am Portuguese and Christmas Eve is a big deal.
avisa more
This was the most nonconfrontational fight I’ve ever seen
Favorite RUclips boys ❤❤
alex we understandyou
i agree with alex 100% about politics!
Christmas’s Eve cuz I’m also Latino and I agree w Alex 😭
I am from Argentina and we like Mexicans celebrate Christmas Eve all night until 4 am or more 😂🎉
Christmas Eve is the move.
Christmas eve is aka Navidad for the whole Latino community and it will always be superior. The whole family comes together, lots of food is made, music, presents and fireworks depending on where you live.
Love to agree with Alex. But we have always celebrated on Christmas Eve
we always celebrate on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is where the drinking and games happen
Christmas Eveee!!!
Christmas Eve sorry to say is the best
They're a riot I love them
CHRISTMAS EVE 1000%❤🎉
Wow I’m shocked at the amount of ppl voting Christmas Eve. It’s definitely Christmas Day!!! I cannot fathom doing any of that on Christmas Eve omg…..
@@kpcq THANK YOU!
We celebrated Christmas Eve as well. All of our friends did the same exactly what Alex is saying. It was about eating and having a great evening and staying up late. Christmas Day was way more chill with people visiting.
While Jonah is rationalizing why people should be open to talk and communication, he should take note of why the country that became so divided over politics also divided families that are not likely to talk to each other again for years. What Jonah describes did work even just a few years ago no longer work any longer.
Christmas Eve all the way!
Hang on. My tea is almost brewed ☕️
Can we please get the Harvard Admissions video with Arrilio, He's my favorite!
French Canadiens also make a big deal of Christmas Eve. It’s a whole deal with midnight mass, special foods, drink and presents. 😊.
Question: Has anyone ever tried to come between the two of you? What was the story? Happy Holidays ☮️ and ❤
Christmas eve and yes, it should be a rager!!
Christmas Eve all the way
The 24 Christmas Eve ❤🎉
Please never give up on doing videos
It’s Christmas eve in a lot of WASP homes too.
@@kolnguy not that I know of
@kolnguy I totally agree.
For children of alcoholic parents Christmas Eve and Halloween (holidays you can pull off at night) are a big deal
👍🏾👏🏾❤️🙏🏿
Christmas Eve 100%
Happy Birthday Alex!!!!
Not them outing jonahs family as republicans😭
My dad did the same to my sisters husband. I think it’s some Latino father pride thing. My dad also did it to my ex but they eventually open up.
I find NO APPEAL at all about getting up early, open presents and then what? Go back to your room, watch a movie and that's it. Christmas Eve is the expectation, the music, the food, the booze, the outfits.... and then, on Christmas, you open presents and eat leftovers.
Mexican parents are designed different. The older generations are not emotionally involved with their kids, especially if they are from the community. There might be some tension. American parents are very involved. Give it some time and always bring beer or something to build a connection
Christmas Eve is better. Christmas Day is so boring. My parents typically leave for the casinos in Louisiana on Christmas day. We’re from Houston. ❤
Christmas eve. And Jonah did Alex's dad talk to u at Christmas?
Love u Jonah but really Christmas Eve is the best period!😂 Alex atw😊
Christmas eve!! Christmas eve!!! I hope am not off subject but!! Jonah obvious is gorgeous and men/ women must throw themselves at him!!!! But he only has eyes for Alex!! He loves him more than a chix Fila sandwich combo with nuggets!!!!!! Just my opinion!! But it's so beautiful and emotional to witness!! On my TV in person I think I would stop breathing and explode into the universe ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys!
HELP-
Dearest Jonah, I think I can help, if Alex Dad thinks you guys are lovers and are knocking the boots, you got to try and talk to him one on one, about a non explosive subject, something he likes, for instance, soccer or something and then invite him to see a live match, with his favorite team. And invite Alex and just go have fun!!!! Maybe he is intimidated by your beautifulness, and stuff, so try to make him the star. I promise he will love you!! Also try not to admire Alex too much in front of the Dad, he might feel all kinds of ways about it. Just because it happened to me!! Love you 😘
Christmas’ eveeeeee BRO
Christmas Eve is better and funner
Since I don't celebrate Christmas, I prefer Boxing Day on Dec. 26. Perhaps the two co-hosts can put on gloves and settle their many differences in the ring!
Christmas Eve 100%. And Filipino here 🎉😅
Nice couple❤
Santa - red suit man with beard - invented as sales gimmick by Coca-cola in 1931… Santa Klaus - Santa = Saint in Latin… Klaus is derivative of Nicklaus - Klaus - Dutch/german
Interesting video! First... as a latino (peruvian) Christmas Eve all the way. 2nd.. It made me think how a gay couple can have different opinions about Ben Shapiro lol. Also... Almanzar sounds latino to me , do u have hispanic heritage? Maybe you could talk in the next video about your coming out stories :)
Xmas eve! 🤪
Jonah needs to leave the Political talk to Alex. 🤦🏻♂️
I am on Alex’s side ideologically, but technically it’s Jonah giving Alex a platform, so it’s only natural he participates. I think it also tests Alex’s ability to persuade and convince, which we are usually quite bad at.
I’m Nigerian and Xmas eve is better
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve for Latinos
Santa Claus is the real deal. Otherwise, no Christmas gifts
No gifts, no Christmas in the U.S.
Christmas Day is boring. Think about it. You open presents and then have to make up the rest of the day for the sake of Christmas. I’m atheist, so I don’t believe in Jesus. A party on Christmas Eve is the hype for me. I’d rather party, open gifts so we can laugh like hell at the stupid gifts. Now that’s a fun ass holiday.
Christmas Eve
Christmas eve
the exact date of Jesus' birth is unknown and is not recorded in the Bible. However, most scholars believe he was born between 6 and 4 BC. #google.
CHRISTMAS EVE
i'm also team chritmas eve
alexxx❤
I´m for Alex
Im no latino (i wish)and Alex is right about that
So the elephant in the room is family members not accepting same sex partnerships. Got it!
Christmas Eve (but I don't love Alex) :D
