The hype before Christmas is the same here in the U.S. And the New Years Eve is a big thing for a lot of people too. The rest sound like pagan tradition. The twigs, the egg and the trinket. I laughed when you talked about putting a button in the cake. I like the idea of the truffle. Your black icing does look like a funeral cake but pretty. You seem like a lot of fun. I found out through research and dna I have a sizable amount of Scottish in me. Cool.
I was thinking the cake trinket could be a lucky copper coin, which is generally considered a food safe metal, and cupcakes or muffins could be made instead of yule cakes. All cupcake papers could be doubled up, and the coin would go inbetween the paper layers of one of the cupcakes or muffins. Having a lucky coin to string on a necklace or keep in your pocket all year would be nice i think.
The Pilgrims, a group of Puritan Separatists, did not observe religious holidays because they believed celebrating Christmas and Easter was not specifically sanctioned in the Bible. When they came to the New World, they sought to abandon traditions that they believed interfered with the sanctity of Christianity.
I love all those different Christmas traditions from around the world it is fun and interesting learning about how other countries celebrate Christmas!
This was great! I always love learning weird and unique things about different cultures, so thanks for enlightening me today, Ashley! Hope you, and your family, have a GREAT Christmas!
rowan trees are protection from evil in general in scotland, it was common to find them planted around kirkyards. red berries and fern like leaves. the berries were the magic. poisenous raw but great cooked for jam.
I didn't know about burning rowan. However, whatever that was you burned it wasn't rowan as they don't have thorns! Still, it was entertaining - thank you.

These unusual scottish christmas traditions were really interesting! Seems that most countries have their own christmas traditions.

That egg is shaped exactly like a raw egg in a cup - your spouse will be a body builder ! 😱
I laughed at the Tiger part and made Cam come over to watch LOLOL
😄 I realised after that he was probably high from the twig fumes... but the couch needed saved!

I didn’t know you could make Jam with the berries! I thought they were only useful to the birds 😊
Just found out my husband's 50% Scottish and I'm 30% so I've been researching and this is a fun one thank you.

1958 !? Wait whaaaat 😳.
I'm going to be in Scotland in March 😁
I know, it's wild! Oh cool, where are you going?
@@AshOnFilm Glasgow actually lol. My girlfriend lives there 😊
I bit into a christmas cake that had a £1 coin in it once - it was sore and the cake tasted awful
That was not a rowan
I learned immediately after that it wasn’t 😄
Damn, I would love to be friends with you
