We also call them the 3 kings. For me just because of my favorite Irish commedy show. "And the three wise men… Wise?! THEY GOT FECKIN' LOST! *que trademark laugh*" Mrs Agnes Brown (Brandon O'Carroll) in the first season of Mrs Brown's Boys from the BBC 🙂
Clara looks incredible with red hair
I celebrate Yule, and my favorite tradition is when we act out the story of the Holly King and the Oak King at church. At the winter solstice (Yule/Christmas) the oak King fights the Holly King and reigns until the summer solstice
as the world starts to get warmer and days get longer-, and then at the summer solstice (we call it Litha) the Holly King fights for power and rules until the next Yule -the part of the year where days get shorter and colder. Two people get dressed up, and someone – usually our priestesstells the story while they act it out. It's a lot of fun!In the Netherlands, they have basically KKK Christmas, where santa looks like the KKK wizard and is followed around by 'Black Peter', a white boy smeared with black, coal make-up.
Such a beautiful person
In Sweden we celebrate Christmas at the 24th of December and before Christianity came here we celebrated Yule (that's why we call Christmas "Jul" in Sweden) and some of the old traditions are still used today, like the yule goat like the one in Gävle.
That's interesting my family who is Canadian, quebecois also celebrate king's day or le jour des roi and we eat the most disgusting cake in the world and in the cake you bake 3 peas and the 3 people who get the peas are named the 3 kings and they get away from doing the dishes ^.^ I have one 3 years in a row now and last year I had 2 peas in my slice and we never found the 3rd pea? We think my uncle ate it. Lol
We called “farm hand Rupert” “black peter” sound terrible, I’m aware! He had green skin and black hair and would scoop you in a bag of you were naughty and get you a bag of sticks! My great grandmother actually had someone from her church do this to her son Richard!
Clara should have done this in Spanish and subtitled it. I also want to see make Clara or Jessie eat weird food episodes. My late brother was born in Madrid! He had to naturalized before coming home as an infant. Because he was born in a civilian hospital. My Dad made the mistake of taking my Mom to a bullfight, he had to rush her out. She was rooting for the bull…
in my exchange families house the children didnt perform for st nicholas but have to clean their shoes with a toothbrush so theyre presentable
In every Italian region (or even in every Italian town) we celebrate Christmas in many different ways, with different traditions, songs and a huge variety of food and sweets. In Alto Adige people share the tradition of Krampus and St. Nicholas with Austria. At Christmas day in Verona we are used to eat sausages and beef with a particular sauce, made with crumbled dry bread, Grana Padano cheese, beef or chicken broth and black pepper. Because of the the amount of pepper is called "pearà": it's spicy. As dessert we have the "pandoro" and pastries and we drink sweet wine (or the wine you prefer) (or just water, whatever, it doesn't mind if you drink alcohol or not) (actually I'm not used, so I get drunk after the fist glass…but it's Christmas, so I'm allowed 🙂 ). Basically Santa Lucia brings presents to children in my town, but also at Christmas we give presents to each other. In certain parts of Italy (for example in Rome) on the 6th of January children receive presents (or sweet coal, if they misbehave) from the Befana, an ugly old woman that flies on a broom like a witch, but it's a positive figure. In other towns it's baby Jesus that makes happy children with sweets and presents.
Meanwhile, in Australia, it’s hot during Christmas, Barbecues are plentiful and Santa drives a ute (utility vehicle or truck). We have prawns and sausages, and lots of cold drinks.
My tradition is trying to pretend that I can tolerate small children.
My family's tradition is on st. nicholas (yes we spell it like that here in the US.)n day eve we leave our shoes out on the fireplace and we get our favorite candy or every other year new pajamas I was shocked to find out that it's weird that we do this (where I'm from) but it is sorta of our own little Christmas and we leave out a bit of cheese for Santa Mouse. Also, my grandma's tradition is really sweet, since where I'm from/winter is very cloudy she keeps her Christmas lights up until the wise men arrive so that they can see through the night if the star gets covered up by the dark clouds of dreary winter skies. Merry Christmas from a place that didn't feel like Christmas (did anyone else feel that way?)
from Georgia – USA (unfortunately)
January 6th is called Women's Christmas (nollaig na mbán in Irish) in Ireland because it is when the men are supposed to do all the cooking and housework and the women get to relax for one day of the year.
Holy geez I LITERALLY freaked out when our Filipino tradition of lanterns was mentioned! Another weird Christmas tradition we have would be eating noodles and suman/valenciana on Christmas day. The noodles would usually either be spaghettie made with ketchup (I know, kinda weird) or bihon (a traditional Filipino dish made with glass noodles and lots and lots of vegetables and MSG 😂) to have long life. Suman is a sweet dessert made out of glutinous rice, coconut, and sugar, while valenciana is a Filipino twist on the Spanish paela (since you know, Philippines was colonized by Spain for 333 years), and eating these symbolizes a close relationship with your family (just like how the rice sticks together).
Actually in The Basque Country and Navarra (north-centre of Spain), in Catalonia (north-east of Spain) and in Galicia (north-west of Spain) the tradition is also to have presents the 24-25th os December. I’m Navarra and The Basque Country (and also in the South of France) is Olentzero – a chekadee or coal worker that comes from the montains- the one that gives the presents. In Galicia is Apalpador, that is also a coal worker but he was supposed to touch children’s bellies in order to see if they had eaten enough during the year and give them chestnuts and presents. But the most weird one is the one in Catalonia: it is a living log called Tió de Nadal (Christmas Log) that poops the presents (yes, it is not a language mismatch, it poops 💩 the presents). Hope you find this information interesting 😊
Hey Jessica, Irish person here! You looked confused as to why we call the 6th of Jan “Women’s Christmas” so I thought I’d let ya know! Women’s Christmas or Nollaig na mBan (pron. Null-ig na ban) was traditionally a day when women would hand the house work over to men and meet up together to chat, relax and enjoy their day off. They would often meet in the main area of the local pub which they wouldn’t normally have been allowed in to, there was a separate small area in traditional pubs, often referred to as the snug, reserved for women. Obviously in modern times house work is generally (hopefully) shared between men and women and Nollaig na mBan is seen more as a day to celebrate women and their achievements through out the year. (Also not every house hold has women and men in it #gaypeople) My Mum always uses it as an excuse to invite our close female friends over for cake and bubbly. It’s also the day we take our Christmas decorations down. I hope I haven’t totally bored you with a history(ish) lesson you didn’t ask for! Thanks for all your lovely videos and fab hair inspiration!

P.S. In your live stream with Claudia where you talked about dating someone with a disability and you told the story of how you talk after you’ve turned the lights off. I hope that make sense as to which one it is? Anyway, you had a mini debate over the pronunciation of the name Niamh. Just to let you know you had it right. It’s Nee-V. I was so proud of you because no one non Irish can pronounce Irish names let alone someone who can’t even hear herself saying it! You go gal!
I love seeing all your shades of red lipstick 😍
im pagan and celebrate yule
I am from NE part of Poland and there are quite many Orthodox Christians and Catholics as well. Because "the calendar things" that you have mentioned, Christmas are celebrated on 7th of January by Orthodox and 25th of December by Catholics. My boyfriend comes from Orthodox family while my family is Catholic so I've considered myself extra lucky that I have Christmas twice a year but now… I want Christmas every month! Let's make it worldwide!
în românia se taie porcu'…
What is wrong with ppl lol, what is with all of these scary creatures meant to scare children? That’s so awful. Lol 😂 its so bad
You must look up the Philippino version of Secret Santa called Monito Monita! I organized an exchange in my office and it was so much fun!
When you're trying to add subtitles and Jessica starts naming various foreign Empires you've never heard of… http://gph.is/KqzCM5 ;p
Um… the auto-captions say "Ross cunnilingus" instead of "Roscon de Reyes" and I can't stop laughing.
Here in Argentina we celebrate the three kings day too!
