    Kyuho's mother's cooking always look amazing. My family doesn't really celebrate chuseok in the traditional way. We just buy jeon and ddeok and call it a day 🤣 So it's always impressive how much work goes into preparing for the day. I love how you addressed the gender conflict. This channel is both comforting and informational, which I love 🥰

    I think the changes sound good, particularly if it takes the load off the female members of the family.

    Sarah I hope your family at home in NS have stayed safe during the hurricane 😢 I have been thinking about them and hoping they are alright. Happy belated birthday as well!

    Happy Birthday Sarah, wishing you happiness for the day and the years ahead. I think Kyuho's right it would be sad to lose the Korean holiday traditions altogether, but making compromises to reduce stress and enjoy the holiday seems the best idea for all concerned.

    Chinese shares the holiday and do similar things, but different :) My parents are gone which has influenced keeping the tradition alive as this celebration is about family. So, when we celebrate the holiday we celebrate them, and that's important. Now, as far as food preparation goes, we do a lot more take out than make at home. Keeps things more manageable and relaxing. 😁

    Happy belated birthday, Sarah! I love how you both went to your favorite restaurant where you went when you were dating. Yes, yes! I’m that person who turns her dish, to appreciate the look, but to get that perfect Insta picture too. 😂. I absolutely LOVE Chuseok with Kyuho’s family, and have appreciated your family videos since I first found your channel many years ago. The love that Kyuho’s mom puts into each traditional dish is apparent in the table setting. My mouth waters every single time. Thank you for explaining Chuseok, as well as Kyuho’s current (Chuseok) family dynamic to us, as I do miss seeing you all with grandpa, and taking your family hike to pay respect to the family graveside. Praying that the traditions continue in your family with the niece and nephew, and that they never go away. Being of Japanese descent, we have Oshogatsu/Osechi that’s a huge part of our lives each year. Like Kyuho’s mama, the cooking of each traditional dish, typically lies on the moms. Thankfully, our one and only son, who is about to turn 26, has embraced this tradition, and has promised to carry it on, once I’m too old to do so. Take care! See you both next week! ❤

    Happy Birthday Sarah!!!! Also, I don't know why, but I feel like Kyuho likes chocolate cake more, lol. You guys are funny, lol.

    Hmmmm…this Korean holiday reminds me of our Thanksgiving and Christmas. It takes me at least 3 days to prepare the Thanksgiving meal for my family, about 15 people. It’s getting pretty brutal as I get older. I prepare at least 20 to 25 different dishes in heaping quantities. It usually costs about $800+ US. Then everyone swoops in, eats and has fun, says thanks, packs up a ton of food to take home, and leaves me with the mess and dishes. And, yes, I’m starting to get a little disgruntled. Just because you’re the mom, it doesn’t mean you’re slave labor. I might come up with my own statement about here’s the meager fare I’m going to cook…now what does everyone else want to bring? Or better yet, ok, who’s going to do this next year because I quit! 😂🤣 Christmas is better because I started catering the meal and only cooking a few of our traditional favorites. I am always too exhausted and in pain from standing on a tile floor to enjoy anything.

    Happy Belated Birthday Sara! I’m glad that you enjoyed it. It was great that you could get together with Kuyho’s family.

    Happy birthday! Rituals and tradition are the glue that hold societies and cultures together and preserves them for thousands of years. Although stressful, celebrating these traditions is really an act of love and strengthens family bonds. It's hard work and sacrifice but well worth it. Change is not always a good thing so changing these rituals should be done very carefully.

    As a Canadian I find myself watching this new episode while worrying about your parents on the east cost Sarah especially after they were in the last few episodes ... I sure hope that the storm was not too hard on them 🙏🇨🇦

    I think the food prep that goes into these family holidays is not particular or unique to Korea. Several other countries in in Asia have similar outside of lunar new year. Vietnamese food for example can also be very labor intensive. Thanks for sharing your holidays with us as always. Sarah I hope your family rode out the storm well and is safe 🙏
