The cultural transformation of Saint Nicholas is so interesting - From a Greek guy and an early Christian bishop in what is now Antalya 1700 years ago, to a mythical figure living on the North Pole with elves and flying reindeer, bringing present around the world
In Italy that Saint Nicholas is called “San Nicola di Bari” (“of Bari”), because during the crusades, in 1087, the body of the saint was brought to Bari, in Puglia, and it’s still held there.
Eeeey, great reaction 🤘🤘 greetings from austria 🇦🇹 if you not make a video till 24.12., i wanna wish you merry christmas or in german: ich wünsche die frohe Weihnachten 🎄
Since most Germans have real trees, 14 days are enough because like you said the tree will loose its needles with time. But the rest of the Christmas decoration is there the whole advent time. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
At the end of a year at the latest, we ask ourselves what it has brought us, what was good and which things didn't go quite so smoothly - we take stock. We often don't realize that a year is just a unit that we have created for ourselves. We forget that it's not just a new year that brings new opportunities, but every single day and even every hour. Let's try to look at life in this way and celebrate the many beautiful things and opportunities it offers us! Christmas is a wonderful time to do this - may we all succeed in internalizing this thought, being grateful and accepting every moment as a precious gift! Last year was a tough one! Many things have shifted, unfortunately not only in a positive direction. But everything has its good side: we are all moving closer together - as partners, as family or as friends. Values such as trust, connectedness and mindfulness are overtaking the principle of “higher, faster, further” and prompting us to pause and reflect on the essentials. Let's continue to do this - not just at Christmas time, but also in the coming year, whatever it may bring! With this in mind, we wish you happy holidays with your loved ones and a happy new year! greetings from Germany🎄🎄🎄 The Fondue Thing: Whether it's hearty melted cheese, sweet creamy chocolate or hearty meat in a broth, there's something for everyone at a fondue. For example, what could be nicer than enjoying a hearty cheese fondue in the warmth of a hut with friends after a ski trip on a cold winter's day? Or what guest could complain after a meal when you serve them a sweet chocolate fondue for dessert? Here are some variations Cheese fondue Cheese fondue is the classic among fondues and is originally the dish from which the name “fondue” is derived. It originates from the Western Alps - French-speaking Switzerland, Savoy, Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. As the name suggests, this fondue contains a mixture of melted cheese and white wine. It is the mixture of cheeses that makes the cheese fondue so tasty. There are many different variations, which differ from region to region, even in the country of origin. It is therefore worth experimenting a little here. Fat fondue and scalded fondue Fat or scalded fondue is also becoming increasingly popular. It can be used to prepare meat, fish or vegetables. From a culinary point of view, fat fondue or scalded fondue has little to do with the actual cheese fondue. Its popularity can probably be explained by the fact that the majority of Germans find it very difficult to do without meat. Incidentally, scalded fondue originally comes from Asia, where it is known as Chinese fondue under the name fondue chinoise and as Japanese fondue under the name shabu shabu. Wine fondue Wine fondue is actually a subspecies of scalded and fatty fondue. It is also known as Fondue-Vigneron or Fondue-Bacchus (after the Roman god of wine). Instead of an oil/water mixture, the meat is immersed in boiling wine. Fish fondue Fish fondue is also a very special fondue. Here, culinary delicacies from the sea are prepared in a juicy fish stock in a fondue. Not only fish lovers will get their money's worth here. The fish fondue is therefore a great alternative to the well-known meat fondue. Chocolate fondue Chocolate fondue is something for the sweet-toothed among us. It is more similar to cheese fondue, but instead of cheese, chocolate is melted. All sorts of things can then be dipped into it, such as fruit, jelly babies or even marshmallows. A special form of chocolate fondue is the chocolate fountain. Here the chocolate pours over a fountain and you can also dip pieces of fruit into the fountain.

There's the classic cheese fondue you're talking about, and there's the kind of fondue Feli is talking about - BOTH are right!
Interesting. Take it from the fat American, cheese sounds better! 🙂
25:10 shrimps in melted cheese?!?!? Wtf poor shrimp.
@@conigliostressato - LOL!
