Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- This video has two parts, the first part is about the history of the advent calendar. I will show you how, where, and by who the advent calendar was invented, and then take you through the entire timeline of the advent calendar to the present day.
The second part of the video is about the Nordic Yule calendars. These Yule calendars are unique to the Scandinavian countries, including some of the other Nordic countries. Yule calendars are very popular with both children and adults, and they always look forward to them with excitement.

“But that is how life is”
And it’s better than life with no new Skjalden videos. Better late than never and all that.
Looking forward to these planned videos. And hopefully more? If that how life is of course.
pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Cade Jasiah yea, been using flixzone for since december myself :D
@Cade Jasiah Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for since november myself :)
It is good to see you posting again, and Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
And thanks for this piece of history...
Thank you for sharing this. It's very interesting to hear of something else about modern Christmas that comes to us from Germany.
Ive been watching your videos a lot last couple of days (been following you for a year or so) and now you come with this lovely gift! Video everyday until christmas!? Thank you Skjalden!!!
Next two Sundays there will be a video.
@@Skjalden Ok I see, ofcourse, you put so much thought and research into the videos! *Greatful* Tack och allt gott! :)
What a great presentation
Thank you
Good to see you back! Good Yule from the USA!!!
I thought you ran away nice to see more content man
Nice info,,,, Happy Yule!!!!
Good to see you! Happy Holidays!
God Jul.
I missed this last week due to a stint in hospital but today's notification of the Yule Goat refreshed this notification for me. so good to see you back old friend, welcome.
I hope you are fine Colin, yes, I will try and make more videos next year, god jul :)
Skjalden, it's very nice to see you again, welcome back. I've often wondered where Advent calendars came from. This is a wonderful video. I especially love the scene of the pretty little Yule tree standing in the snow, with its colorful lights glowing in the night. It's a beautiful scene. That t-shirt is great and the animations are exceptional. You are very, very good at this. You really put a lot of time and effort into creating your videos and it shows. It makes all the difference in quality, and your videos are definitely high quality. The content is also both educational and enjoyable to watch.
On a side note: I think you could make quite an interesting video about Viking archers, their skills, tactics, and the types of bows and arrows they used. Maybe even the different types of woods used and the reasons why. It's just an idea for you because I'm not sure how much information there is available to you. It could possibly end up a really long video, but it's up to you of course. :) Thanks.
I would like to thank you for all of your hard work. Here's wishing you and yours a beautiful Yule season. Many blessings.
Hello Anna, I am glad that you liked the video, and thank you for your thoughtful comment. Its an interesting idea to make a video about archers, and what kind of materials they used. I will write the idea down for now, and use it someday. There are still a lot of other videos that is on my mind, and that I need to get out of my system :) I wish you and your family a happy Yule season, and a God Jul. :)
Wow , those scenes at the very end gave me a massive nostalgia hit . Min Mor er fra Kalundborg. I have spent a lot of my childhood in Denmark. It is the best place to spend Yule. Tak for det and really looking forward to more of these . . Skal
I am glad that you have returned to making these video. I am aware how difficult it is to have a balance between work and creating things (I write a blog, so it's almost the same). I hope to see a next video soon :)
Good luck on your blog. May the google algorithm be in your favour :)
Marvelous! I love learning new things and that is something new for me. I missed you, my friend, and hope all is well with you and yours. I look forward to the next Christmas episode.
Welcome back ☃️⛄🌨️🌨️ Mary Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Wayne, I wish you the same :)
Nice to see more videos! Glad you're back!!!
Great to see you are still making videos.
I didn't know the Advent Calender tradition has it origins here in Germany.
The julekalender from 91 was crazy popular here in Norway also.
Loved it!!!
have you done the animations yourself? They look amazing!
Some of them :)
Skkalden your a very good person
wow, this was such an informative video, very interesting , and i wonder, do you also watch some old movies, like "it's a wonderful life!" with jimmy stewart?
I watched it a long time ago :)
Given the amount of work put into this one, I can see why it took so long. Well done!
Skjalden är tillbaka!
Glædelig jul ☃️
God Jul.
"Die Hard" FTW!!!
But tell me, do they ever watch, "The Nightmare Before Christmas"?
Excuse me... We say Nisse in Norway. Only sweeden say tomte. (ca 16:55)
not so sure about that early-20th. century(can't remember the year) cookie Christmas calender. I mean, I'm no expert on cookie-expiration dates but I would be carefull with a 3-week old cookie :)
It sounds like Danish pepole had good Jul calenders. See them and stay away from the Swedish ones. If you still want to se them pick anyone other then Kurt Olssons julkalender or Lille Luj och Änglaljus i strumpornas hus. Sweden wount take any responseblity for your mental health. if you still look at them.
