If anyone can give me 10 facts for the first 25 minutes and 10 facts for the last 35 minutes for a school project. I will be really thankful and you’ll be glad to know my French grade went up 😃👍

My favourite
This is by far the greatest episode, reminds me of when we Toured Europe and visited some of these locations in 1984. 🙂
Simply beautiful compilation of Christmas traditions!
Always makes me laugh that Christmas is a time of Love, and kindness. and in the spirit of the holiday we kill a tree just to decorate it for a few weeks then toss it into the trash
Watching this for the first time as Christmas is coming. Love the Carols. Beautiful captured the beauty. Kudos to the whole Team
30:32, Turkey didn’t exist in the 4th Century, because the Turcs hadn’t invaded yet.
I wish our European tradition stay forever! Thank you for this program
Name of the song in 36:48 please
It is a holiday tradition. May never get to Europe to enjoy Christmas but I sure can watch this and enjoy.
i luv you this
Peter was NOT the first Poope. He never went to Rome., So the Roman Catholic church lies again. And Mary is not the Mediator at all.
How terriblty sad it is that so many people think that Christmas is one long secular party, lasting all of December until Christmas Day and then it's gone. This video helps to reinforce the real, meaning of Christmas and shows the wonder of what they're missing. Thank you, Rick Steves.
Dude! This video was so great and informative!
You know, what really strikes me about this incredible program is how Christmas feels so much more charitable in Europe, almost like the way I think Jesus intended it to be. Seeing this, it makes Christmas here in the USA seem so consumer-driven, bordering on vapid. Christmas just appears so sweet and innocent in Europe.
21:45. Upper right corner. Did everyone in production miss that or was it intentional? And during Christmas. The French are Heathens.
This is such a nice way to see how the Christmas season is celebrated in other countries.
👋😃🎄❄️❤️❄️🕊
I get this from the library and watch it every year.
Lovely panorama of Christmas traditions and scenery!
Even theo Spain is Catholic it does celebrate Christmas too you forgot to put Spain in there.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CELABATORY GIFT OF PAST MEMORIES OF THOSE LAST SURVIVORS OF YOUNGER FAMILY GATHERINGS FULL OF ANTICIPATORY JOY…
OUR TEARS OF PROFOUND JOY AND SINCERE THANKFULNESS ABOUND
AS WE ARE ENABLED IN OUR FAITH TO THANK OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
FOR HIS GIFT TO US…
HIS LOVE TO WALK AMONG US…
A LOVE THAT WE DO NOT YET FULLY COMPREHEND…
BUT SOON WILL FOR ETERNITY!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Yuletide is an ancient Pagan tradition celebrating the winter solstice, which involves ale, wine and many types of local food, and of course dancing. It was hijacked by christians, who actually wanted to ban the entire event. Ultimately, there is no god, however you have freedom to believe whatever you want, but don't tell me it's the truth, and never indoctrinate others. Be kind, nice, and please make an effort to study scientific facts. I know it's difficult, however, learning the truth is far better than "comfort thinking". Best wishes for Yuletide, everyone. Much love!
"TRULY BEAUTIFUL EUROPEAN CHRISTIMAS TRADITION'S, INDEED!!!" … "MANY CHEERFUL THANKS" TO: (RICK STEVE & CREW MEMBERS), FOR SHARING & PRESENTING SUCH GREAT CHRISTIMAS MEMORIES!!!" … BLESSINGS ALWAYS, MS. DEBORAH J. STEELE – 12/04/23 & BEYOND"
and…. I guess there is no Christmas in Spain, Greece, Poland or the others…..
You are the Bob Ross of foreign culture. So much love and respect for you. Thank you
I have watched this for nearly 15 years yet the feelings of joy are still present it was done elegantly.
Wouldn't you love to go sledding down that hill with those beautiful candles and light up the mountains l??? Norwegian Christmas carols are extremely beautiful
Thank You Rick! God Bless You! Merry Christmas! Júlia from Hungary!
My favorite Xmas dvd
I absolutely love that this was so positive about our heritage and ancestral lands.
Who's watching this in Christmas 2023? 😊 This episode by Rick Steves has become a tradition for me to watch every Christmas season!! The hauntingly beautiful and emotionally moving rendition of Silent Night at the end of this episode gets me every time!! Absolutely love it!!!
And now the entire planet culturally appropriates our ancient celebration, that they have zero genetic connection to. Christmas/Yule is White culture.
This Europe, sadly, don't exist anymore.
