Hi Heather and Casey. Krampus is only a thing in southern Bavaria and Austria. In the rest of Germany it's Knecht Ruprech (Servant Rupert) who give coal or old potatoes to the bad behaving kids. And maybe hits their back with his rod. But I think he doesn't do this anymore in modern times, because beating kids is really outdated. In the Netherlands he is called Zwarte Piet. (Schwarzer Peter - Black Peter). 🙂
Die Hard 1 and 2 and Gremlins are also called Christmas movies. 🙂 Der kleine Lord (Little Lord Fauntleroy) also appears on TV every christmas. And the Sissi trilogy about the Austrian Empress from the mid 18th century..And ofcourse Kevin allein zu Hause (home alone)
When I was a kid, we had a real Christmas tree with real candles. And it was put up in the living room and decorated at the 24th of December, no earlier by my dad. And I remember my oldest brother teaching me how to blow out a single candle of choice, leaving all the others burning, from 4 meters away from the tree. Yes, that is possible. And the Christmas tree had to be taken down after January 6, and the decoration carefully stored for next year. Decoration was of course lametta, metallized glass balls and candles of course.
Hi 😊 Krampus is more of a Bavarian/Austrian (Tyrol) thing. Yes we clean the shoes (boots) and put it outside for Nikolaus ☺️ normally the kids getting some peanuts 🥜 tangerine 🍊 and of course some Nikokaus chocolate. We put the tree 🌲 up on the 24 December and until 6 of January and traditionally is definitely a fresh real tree.. some people use also plastic ones .. and we watch Christmas movies too 🥰🎄 every year on our list definitely home alone, Grinch and Santa Claus 🎅🏻 we love American movies 🍿
I like to watch your honest presentations - you really get into them. Saw you visit Koblenz (I work there) and use the „Altstadt“ as a catwalk stage that was amazing❤
Hey beautiful! It is absolutely not crazy to be decorated for a lot longer than right after Thanksgiving for Christmas seeing as how I decorate the weekend of Halloween or the first weekend in November! You spend all this money on all of these decorations, and I’ve always thought that it is fun to enjoy it longer! Anyways, I absolutely loved this video and hearing about the differences! Also, I absolutely love my candle that you sent me
Vanillekipferl or kalter Hund are delicious cookies too. Your forgot about Krippen, weihnachtskalender and on the 6th January the 3 holy kings going from house to house. We Germans watch Christmas movies too! Like home alone too, but Myanmar more
Hi you two. Happy New Year! Nikolaus actually comes in person with Krampus to your home, if you want to. We never put out shoes. He gives your children the present, if they behaved good. The Christmas Tree is very German. Queen Victoria of GB (who had very German roots) took over this tradition together with her husband Albert (also German). Best Christmas movie ever: Love actually…..
Cats are carnivores, but they also eat grass from time to time, as this helps cats to get rid of annoying hairballs in their stomachs. Indoor cats should therefore always have cat grass available.
Many pagan festivals were occupied by the Catholic Church, such as the winter solstice festival, and Christmas was simply superimposed on top of it. Krampus is also a pagan belief. Likewise, Easter was originally a pagan fertility festival (hence the reference to eggs). You simply assimilate these pagan festivals and make your own festivals out of them. The Christmas tree used to hang upside down from the ceiling and was hung with wood or clay figures to protect the residents from evil forces. Back then it probably wasn't as romantic as it all seems today.
Always a real tree and real candles! Otherwise it wouldn’t feel like Christmas! Otherwise, where would the Christmas smells come from? (Except cookies of course) Plastic trees/candles to me would feel like I cheaped out. (Austrian here)
In southwest Germany you will soon be able to experience something similar to Krampus Run: "Swabian Alemannic Fasnet (South German carnival). After January 6th it starts with parades in the cities, so-called fools' meetings. Some with a thousand or more participants. Witches, all kinds of fantasy and fable figures. Some masks are carved from wood and are several hundred years old. Very traditional but fun and lots of alcohol.😂
3.16 It does not matter if it is smaler in the State becouse the State is only a bit over 300 years old and the culture here is like endless back.... but... The main thing is that you HAVE and started to adapt it which is sooooo good . and with the time it will be better bigger and so on. In some countries in Europe the jewish people celelbrate Hanuka which is some time around that time and they put on some lights and candles of that tradition and some market too for cherrities but they do it very modest and give the Christians Christmas to enjoy for ALL WHO WANT TO TRY.
Lebkuchen. Without an 'i' in 'Leb'. The 'u' in Kuchen is more pronounced like 'oo' in English, as you can hear it in 'moon' for example. Stollen is not pronounced 'stolen'. It's 'sh' in the beginning (shtollen) the rest should be pronounced like 'doll' (puppet) with 'en' in the end. Happy new year!
29/46 It takes your attantion from the REAL CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION of the EMORION od rhe GODs Message that the SAVIOUR is born for all people.....!!!! and will DELIBERATLY take you by the nose to the tcch world for to forgot what is ACTUALLY CELEBRATES THAT NIGHT which is the BORN of our SAVIOUR.... WE celebrate it here in a queit family and or some one we know who otherwise will be alone go to the MESS in some of the chrurch or Cathedral all light up and all with candles singing and praying after the Christmas dinner in the mid night mess. or stay at home and sing Christmas carols and hyms at mome always at Christams eve after dinner and after opened the presents = and celebrate it the night twhen the Saviour was born.

Never even heard of Krampus until I moved from Bremen to Munich.

St Nick (Sinterklaas) is actually an original Dutch tradition. It's a bit controversial IMO on some aspects, but it's what originated Santa Claus.
Happy New Year 🥂
Happy New Year to you as well! 🎉🍾✨

Bitte in Deutsch sprechen,
