i agree with q on the point about spending quality time with friends without their partners or other 'external' people. i really hate it when someone asks if they can bring their partner or invite some other friend(s) to join in the meetup. it changes the dynamic and there are some things that you would hold back on discussing when there are partners or other 'less close' people around.
It's christmas all year round for viewers since this trio keeps gifting us awesome episodes :) happy holidays everyone
Thanks for your kind words 😭🫶🏻
Nic looked so happy with his gifts from Joie😂
The gift exchange is so funny yet so wholesome! Merry Christmas guys! 🎄🎁
Agreed!! Merry Christmas to you ❤️
Merry Christmas!!!
wishlist is stupid imo too. it is like running the person's errand. what is it FOR
First time rewatching this on youtube and not letting it just play in the background and cracked up at Nic's face 9:34 😆
Love the discussion on gifting vs secret santa vs wishlists. I don't mind putting in efforts to get gifts that would surprise people and they love it. But sadly, nobody ever thought of doing the most simple thing - to open their mouths to ask if there is anything that I wanted. I was too shy to speak up because it felt like I am demanding for something and expecting someone to fulfill it. I usually receive gifts that I hated yet have no outlet to express it out. And the worst thing is, I have to put in more effort to make sure that the gift goes to a better owner. I am so done.
Great video!
Merry Christmas YGW team!! 🎄✨ To more of these eps in 2024
Merry Christmas to you too! Thank you for the support ❤️
I live in a western country and I can relate to how Joie’s husband feels. I really hate winter and there’s so little light in the day. It’s also inconvenient to have to wear so many layers before going out, I realised I missed wearing just shorts and slippers 365 days in Sg. Winter is often glamourised by Singaporeans because we can wear different clothes and take nice pictures but if you’re actually living in it it’s really annoying LOL esp with seasonal depression also!!
will there be a video where we see Q go to the gym class ? We can see Nic and Q work out together
THP vlogs??? 👀
HmmmMMMMMmm??? @ Nic
excuse me i also want to go!!!!!
Gonna be a party pooper. Christmas as the commercialised holiday is fun and great to meet up with friends. Christmas as the religious holiday is easily one of the worst day for a non-religious person in a fundamentalist Christian household.
Hi just a feedback, I think the audio is much softer for this episode? Not sure if it's just me. I had to crank up twice the volume for this in comparison to the rest
Thanks for letting us know! We’ll take note of that for future eps 🫡

If there's a wishlist then its really LPPL, so pointless to do a gift exchange.
hanor i also say
Wait I thought the surprise element of secret santa is about guessing who's your santa and not about what the gift is?
Perhaps before feeling too sad during the holidays, studying history may help. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, now known as Palestine. The Palestinians are being slaughtered every minute by the Zionists, babies and children are dismembered and left to die on purpose. Historical churches are being blown apart by Israel. So I think we can practice being more grateful, especially those who are living in this country.
