Merry Christmas Jonathan,this is Claire!We are very happy that you spending your Christmas with us and this is one of unforgettable moment to us that we are part in this awesome video.The kids are so happy and enjoy opening their gifts....Thank you also Sir Noel for being the Santa Claus on this season,may God bless you more....
The joy and happiness of the kids is what it's all about. You receive far more from giving a gift than receiving one. It's nice you got to spend Christmas with some warm inviting people, but remember there are others out there that don't have that and are alone. You don't know what someone else is going through in life and a simple gesture of your time could be all it takes to bring a little happiness to someone else. To some a coffee mug isn't an exciting gift, but to me it would be the greatest gift ever. If I'm awake the coffee pot is on, and that mug would get used and abused. 🤣 It also shows how much thought they put into the gift and made it personal, which makes it priceless.
Just WOW!!! What a beautiful Christmas celebration and a truly wonderful and thoughtful gift! I have never seen that kind of hospitality the world over! The Philippines is utterly amazing!!!
The spirit of Christmas is very much alive and well in Noel's toughts and actions. There's obviously a reason he was named Noel. And, I get the feeling he got something back that money can never buy ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
I have enjoyed many of your videos, but this one touched me in a way that no other travel vlog has ever done. The generosity, hospitality, thoughtfulness and kindness in this video demonstrates the best of humanity. May all of you know peace and happiness in your life.
Maayong pasko Jonathan!Thank you so much for celebrating with us on this joyous Day! We are happy to know that you like our simple Christmas presents to you.Thank you for this awesome video!
Honestly, Filipino mindset during Christmas is that, no one should be alone in Christmas Eve or day. It's a time where everyone gathers together, either a family, friends, relatives, visitors or a stranger. During Christmas you can honestly hop-in into anyone's house to celebrate with them. They really don't mind at all. They're so willing to spare you a chair in their table and have much of food you wanted.... they'll be glad if you eat with them even though your stranger to them. And if they feel scared about your presence, they will not shuuuu you away, they still invite you to eat with them or bring foods in parcel for you to carry along your way.
Happy Holidays! Consider the Philippines your second home. Thanks for all the nicest words about my people. All the best in the coming new year for you, sir. 🤗
Maayong buntag Jonathan. I'm glad that you're enjoying your stay here in our province of Bohol. I love all your vlogs. I'm always looking forward to watching them. Advance Happy New Year. Ayo-ayo, amping kanunay ❤️
I'm trying to watch your previous videos and glad to know that you experience Christmas here in the Philippines. Wish you make the video longer. Hope I can see more of this in the Future.
Bro, your thoughts about filipino hospitality is an absolute dead on. I couldn't agree more with you my friend. So amazing! Imma filipino living in Illinois but right now, we're in the Philippines. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you my friend from Alabama.🎄
Merry Christmas Jonathan. That’s beautiful that you were invited by a Filipino families as I mentioned in one video. It’s typical for us to invite who we felt is alone on this holiday. Yes, that’s how we give gift to a special person. We think first what he/ she likes and surprise the person. Token of appreciation. Enjoy your visit.
Filipino kindness in full display. They even went out of their way to gift you with a personalised mug. That's how Filipinos are. Love from the Philippines!
Celebrating christmas in the philippines is the best. You guys, really had fun. Regards to my cousins Claire and Cherryl. Belated happy birthday to the celebrant. Greetings from germany.
this is a normal Christmas in the Philippines, the kids are the most important in the occasion, just seeing them exited and happy opening their gifts and what they got, whatever it is , is worth it.
What an adventure and life’s experience you had! You are blessed as you know how to appreciate small but important and significant things in life. More power to you.
Absolutely outstanding again sir, the coffee cup and coffee satchels brought a tear to my eye..what a beautiful thoughtful gift..you truly are the man my friend..👍🏼
Love this videos soooo much a short clip but full of love, lessons, kindness and fun ❤️💙. Great video especially when Jonathan shares his gift on the blog it became more personal to your viewers as well. # human kindness
BOHOLanos are one of TOP good-natured Filipinos ( and perhaps one of the best in the world to be friend with) due to their genuinely POSITIVE disposition. I vouch for them, cause most of my community mates during college were from BOHOL...
Thank you for showing the true Filipinoes in your vlogs. I love watching each trips you made throughout the different parts of the Philippines . This made me miss our beloved country even more ! Please continue to discover and unravel the beauty behind the simplicity of our culture . I will be visiting in a month and can’t wait to be finally home again soon!💕😊
Wow, looks like you had a great first Christmas with the great Filipino hospitality. Very nice idea to get you the mug with all the photos and your name on it. Another Christmas gift is that you are now at 60,600 subs, congratulations Jonathan. With the rate of growth with your channel you will hopefully make it to 100,000 subs within the next year. Great to see you so happy in the Philippines and wish you all the best in 2023.
Hey Jonathan Merry Christmas.... its been awhile since ive watched ur videos.... kinda busy... anyways happy to see you again enjoying... take care and God bless 🇵🇭🙏
Vegemite should be applied thinly and evenly on toast (untoasted bread is not good to be paired with it in my opinion). By the way, that party is sick, I wish I was there, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year mate! Edit: and to all the Filipinos as well!!!
Enjoyed the Xmas episode, and I am looking forward to my visit to the Philippines on the 18th of Jan.; I will be spending time in Manila, Cebu, and ending in Leyte. I would have never thought of it if it wasn't for you and other Expats. From Phoenix, THX!
Glad you had a terrific Christmas celebration with lovely people! Noel is so gracious. And yeah, so nice of them to go to great lengths to give you a meaningful gift. 🎁
Btw, just want to share that Boracay is Condé Nast Readers Choice Best Island in Asia for 2022. (It was Siargao in 2021). It is also Included in TIME's 'The World's Greatest Places of 2022'. :)
hahah.. this is one is short because I wanted to get it out soon after Christmas. I didn't want to post a Christmas video in January haha. It's faster to make the shorter videos
Best coffee mug, gift ever! Filipino hospitality on a different level so awesome they were able pick up on those little details about you. Cheers!
I completely agree!! So thoughtful and considerate!
Your videos make me want to visit the Philippines so bad. They seem like incredible people!
We ARE!!! Come vist the Philippines soon! :)
locals are friendly and hospitable. pnays are beautiful and romantic. they take a bath everyday.. many westerners are married to them
Your always welcome here anytime sir 🙂♥️
Remain a "tourist" so you can only see their "incredible"/good side.
Your very much welcome here brother
Filipinos are generally nice people but they are more so nice to people who have a good heart … God bless
I think so too!
It's amazes me how happy and appreciative the kids are with their simple gifts. Meanwhile, here in Europe, kids are expecting expensive gifts
Merry Christmas Jonathan,this is Claire!We are very happy that you spending your Christmas with us and this is one of unforgettable moment to us that we are part in this awesome video.The kids are so happy and enjoy opening their gifts....Thank you also Sir Noel for being the Santa Claus on this season,may God bless you more....
Thanks that you made Jonathan's Christmas in Bohol so memorable. Godbless.
Those children understand and speak English very well!

That's the way Christmas should be. Thanks for sharing. Noel is a true gentleman 👏
Wow thats so cool coffee cup .thats what we are happy people no matter what.take care always jonathan filipinos loves you.
🇵🇭❤️Genuine Filipino Christmas celebration! Nice!🇵🇭❤️
Just WOW!!! What a beautiful Christmas celebration and a truly wonderful and thoughtful gift! I have never seen that kind of hospitality the world over! The Philippines is utterly amazing!!!
It’s better to have one day of Christmas instead of a 1 month celebration.
Insane winter storm in big parts of the US now. You're warm and cozy there!
That’s what I’ve heard. Hunker down and bundle up!
In Georgia now cold today tomorrow warm. Raining last night till dawn.
The spirit of Christmas is very much alive and well in Noel's toughts and actions. There's obviously a reason he was named Noel. And, I get the feeling he got something back that money can never buy ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
Jonathan in- joy your first Christmas and happy new year in the Philippines 🇵🇭 May you have the most utmost reward of
blogging

I am so happy for you, Jonathan, that at least you were not alone this Christmas. Stay safe and God bless.
That's sweet and very touching gift. That's how gift it should be not those expensive one but those that will give meaning and memories to your life.

Great Xmas party. I bet a lot of your viewers are like me, curious about Noel's story and how he ended up in the Philippines.
