p.s. i do love crackers
i am canadian and we spelled everything with a "u" also and also called brits "limeys" i dont know why! also spelled aluminum aluminium – then i moved to the states and still takes time for me to "unspell" words like harbour and neighbour.
Welsh here,, never heard of swags, u can get veggie suet, plum pudding had prunes not sure of the english versions- I believe plum pudding is in fact Irish, you guys missed a great opportunity to explain the paper crowns and the links to a fool,, crackers yes,,, party poppers are not traditional , queens speech. never in my family totally outdated and was never listened to in my my 55yrs plus, carol service by candlelight yes!! as long as the carols are sung well with audience participation,,, this is enhanced immensely with a nativity.
NYC/Hamptons -now London 5+years. Every year Carols and then Service Christmas night somewhere very special! Queens Christmas Speech! Looking forward to King Charles Christmas Speech2023. Yeah! Julie! Eggnog! Daughters come home from school and we make eggnog listen to the Cambridge choir and decorate our tree. I agree the jokes are a good mood changer for parents!
Julie needs a garden shed to do her swags!
I love Egg Nogg (I purchase it all ready made from one of the Commercial Dairies). Non alcoholic is best. When you buy it, it doesn't come with Rum in it, you have to add your own.
Enjoyed your Carbon Footprint joke about Father Christmas (Santa Claus)
Limeys are from the British Naval Ships (sail) that carried Limes, for the crew, to prevent Scurvy (Vitamin C Deficiency). I don't like Mince Pies because they are WAY TOO RICH! I prefer Mince Meat Tarts, very delicious (these tarts have a cover of dough on top)
Just watched your video as an Australian we love our seafood. My family favourite is prawn cocktail. Plus baked snapper fish on xmas eve cooked the Croatian way due to my Croatian heritage. We have all the British thing's like crackers, mince pies & xmas pudding. ❤
Limey comes from when the British navy carried limes on their ships for the sailors to combat scurvy They became known as limeys in the 1800’s.
Limey is another word for a British person especially one that is in the navy..
I stand corrected by a previous entry. Scurvy is a deficiency in vitamin C. So to prevent this limes were eaten by the sailors.
Ricketts is a vitamin D deficiency. Since you can acquire vitamin D by being outdoors in the sun, it’s unlikely the sailors would have a vitamin D deficiency.
“Limey”, is the name
given to British sailors during the colonial’s times because the sailors would often contract Ricketts on long sea voyages.
Ricketts is a disease that comes when someone has insufficient vitamin C in their system.. So to offset this devastating disease, the sailors, would store and then eat the limes. Hence the name, “limeys.”
Limes had a longer storage life, and were more plentiful than lemons. Lemons were highly prized for many culinary and medical purposes.
Saw the video you making a swag. That's really nice. Cranberry, orange sauce make into bread.
This limey living in North America loves mince pies , plum pudding and brandy butter ! I miss everything about Blighty Christmas’s .
I watched this video very and I wish you and your husband and family a very late Merry Christmas I hope you enjoyed yourselves and may you have a very and successful Happy New Year 2023 You have beautiful traditions really
I love the UK Christmas pudding! We serve it flambé with vanilla rum sauce. So delicious! Greetings from California. Love your show Julie!❤️
As a Canadian, I love sticky toffee pudding, mince pies christmas cake. Never had Brandy butter?
The Glaister family absolutely love making MInce pies and Christmas cakes…and me (mum) loves Christmas cracker jokes …please keep the traditions alive ..ooooh and stir up Sunday ..we still do that 🎉
Love mince pie ❤️
I grew up in Northamptonshire but have lived in the US since my early 20's, now in Alabama. I still LOVE mince pies, even making my own mincemeat so I can leave out the candied peel, and using vegetarian suet. Happy New Year🎉
Here in Australia, we call Christmas crackers Bon bons. We have all the same things still. Turkey, ham, pork, trifle, xmas pudding without suet which each member of the family gets to stir in sixpences and makes a wish. Also xmas cake, crackers, vegetables and mince pies that are just fruit. We have begun adding prawns to the feast being hot here. Oh and cold egg nog. Yum
So adorable but lately it seems a bit transparent of your true annoyance of almost everything especially in the Christmas market event
Gingerbread and a homemade fruitcake
Maybe someone can explain why Brits call Americans “Yanks”.
I'm glad you refer to 'British' Christmas traditions – it helps remind people that the UK isn't just England! In Scotland we also have a 'pudding' at Christmas but we call it a 'clootie dumpling' as it's boiled in a cloth ("clootie').
Julie you know that vegetarian suet is available?
I always thought 'limeys' was an Australian term for Brits – due to the limes on the boats to help prevent scurvy. I haven't heard Americans use that term – perhaps why Julie hasn't hear of it.
In the States, a "Limey" was another name for a sailor because while at sea they would suck on lemons to stave off scurvy.
