    I’m Portuguese and my wife is Polish, so I feel an affinity with both of you and your mix and match Christmas traditions. We do same here and it’s always fun.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Carpenters. I’m from Ukraine natively. Now I’m living in Israel. I have been Watching your couple’s show since the beginning of it and subscribed to Liam’s shorts and videos mb two years. Happy to sharing with people that comment. Guys keep on moving . Interesting to see differences of mentality’s German and English. But still are together and creating nice content. ✌️🎉

    We had this tradition reciting a christmas poem or song before we get the presents. I loved it. ❤😊 We are a musician family. All were singing in a choir or playing several instruments. Me f.e. Blockflöte, Piano, guitar, Cello and Akordeon. My mother guitar, e-bass, Blockföte and piano. My father the drums. My sister akordeon and Blockflöte.

      We did that, as well. Even if Santa didn't come to our house in person as the Christkind brought the presents.
      I, actually, disagree with her: just because less and less of people do this anymore, it disqualifies as a tradition.

    A German would NEVER hide a pickle (or any other foreign matter) in the christmas tree. There standing me the hairs to the mountains, if I imagine this.

  • @spinster9187
    @spinster9187 20 дней назад +2

    It’s a pickle ornament that gets hidden deep in tree. It’s usually a gift card or something small. I only learned it when I moved to Pennsylvania at 11.

    As a child dad would encourage us sing a Christmas song before a present. He wanted us to have fun and make it last and it was great. He would clap like we were just amazing haha ❤(USA). And I never heard if the pickle thing 😝

    That's harsh leaving milk out for Father Christmas: you're supposed to leave him a mince pie and a glass of brandy!
    He's like thousands of years old and doing the same insanely busy job _again_ for another year so he deserves some booze to get him through and take the edge off the cold. 😄

      Sorry... but you intended 'mumming' - not 'mummering'. Mumming is the act of dressing up and going house- to-house and involved, traditionally, acting out fragments of plays in exchange for gifts.

    • @SuzzieMarie0130
      @SuzzieMarie0130 19 дней назад +1

      It’s become a tradition in the U S; we were told it’s a German tradition. I think it’s just a way for Old World Ornaments to sell another ornament

      ​@@SuzzieMarie0130 I think used to there's were "well known" glass blowers in Germany that made glass ornaments for Christmas trees and one of the popular ones were a "pickle". 👀

    We tend to eat clementines and oranges in Autumn and winter, because that's when they are in season.... They don't store as well as apples, which are also an Autumn fruit and can be stored up to a year under the right conditions.

    • @johnbruce2868
      @johnbruce2868 22 дня назад +2

      Once upon a time, many (the majority of) people in England were so poor all they could gift to their children on Christmas Day was an apple and / or an orange. That is why these fruit are included in the Christmas gift tradition. In memory of those much harder times.

    40:35 we played this at child birthdays long ago with a chunk of chocklate that is wrapped up multiple times with old newspapers. First you have to put on mittens, then a scarf and ushanka, the take a knife and fork and open the present as far as you can do in a minute, after the minute you pass the mittens and stuff to the next kid, that does the whole procedure for a minute and so on until the chocklate has been eaten, very funny...

    Merry Christmas to you all! I just learned about the Christmas pickle. We bought one at the Christmas market. So this is going on the tree. A few years ago I hid a raspberry pi in the tree. Not a raspberry pie. No cake, the mini computer. It has a green circuit board and I chose a small one. Nobody noticed until the tree was taken down. 😂😂😂

    I heard the pickle story first about 3 years ago when we had a work-quiz and the American organiser wanted to convince me that it as was a German tradition. I had certainly never heard of it, I asked my parents as it could have been regional thing, but they did not know either, so I googled it and it is actually a fascinating story....but it is not a German tradition, even though the Americans believe it is. There is, however, a connection as to why they believe it is :) Froehliche Weihnachten hoert sich besser an als Frohe Weihnacht ;)

    I’ve heard of hiding a pickle in a Christmas tree but always thought it was a German American tradition. Like something you would see in Frankenmuth Michigan
    My family here in the US has a strong English background and we always have mince pie at Christmas. It’s always made with venison and made in one pie and not individual pies.

    Regarding the poems/songs I mean if lots of people do it its a tradition right? All traditions are new at some point. And its cute not cringe, cultural cringe is the real cringe.
