In my country the Netherlands sinterklaas is on 5/6 december and it is just as big of a feast as christmes, but more fun for the kids because Its far more mysterious.
Christmas is more internationally known, so the immigrants will mostly celebrate it as well while leaving Sinterklaas as it is
McOinky what do you mean?
@@jinjunliu2401 the Netherlands celebrate both Sinterklaas in early december and Christmas in late december
When I was little I lived in the netherlands and tbh? I kinda miss getting chocolate letters in my shoe
In Germany we also celebrate St. Nikolaus on the 6th of december. We put our boots out in front of the door and they are filled with sweets, nuts, fruits and toys
Copious amounts of alcohol you say! I guess I've been celebrating Yuletide this whole time.
..... VIKINKS!!!
In Scandinavia it’s still called Yule/Jul. And the yuleman lives on Greenland.
We call it jul in Norway but santa still lives in the North Pole
In Finland Joulupukki lives in Korvatunturi(a hill basically in the midle of nowhere) in Finnish Lapland.
@@FingerBob julenissen
Same here in Iceland 🇮🇸
Not a creature was sturing,not even my UA-cam recommendation
I'm glad I clicked on this video
In scandinavia we still open presents on christmas eve
in Romania too
@@Velaxa And Germany
Same in Costa Rica
In Poland, the christmas eve is actually the main part of the holiday, with a giant feast (that's traditionally vegetarian) with your family, opening presents, and going to the midnight mass. 25th is just a day to rest and digest.
Damn 1 day late
Not really since Christmas last for twelve days.
Edit: we have eleven days of Christmas left, so if you still have enough time to get someone a Christmas present if you want.
Ramsay Bolton The twelve days of christmas count down to Christmas
Ramsay Bolton yeah for some religions it does
@@erickfromthegrave first day Dec 25 is when Christ is born, last day Jan 5 three wise men came.
@@RealClutchMcGee Sure some people celebrated differently but it's still a twelve day celebration. So Merry Christmas.
I liked the part where Santa fell, Lolz
Lol
Avery the Cuban-American first saw you in late 2017 here we are 2 years later im still seeing you
Hey just a heads up if you use Hebrew again in the future, the language reads right to left. You had Messiach/Messiah - משיח spelled backwards. Nonetheless, great vid.
keith watkinson so edgy
i read that old alphabets uses right to left because they were initially written using chisel and hammer on hard surface. left to right wouldn't be ergonomical for right handed people in that writing method.
keith watkinson wow, you are such a cool guy
🤣😂🤣😂
Lol all us Yiddin caught that immediately. 😂
One of my Christmas traditions is getting a present on Christmas eve... It's always clothes
i got the complete inheritance cycle this year.
Same
It's always pajamas here for me
The terror is also the name for a 1960s horror movie with Boris Karloff (aka Frankenstein's monster) and a young jack Nicholson (and yes that guy from the shining)
Also made a recent TV series: Terror
Congrats on 500k subs my friend! You deserve it!
The hebrew writing is inverted
That's so cool how every place had someone slightly different
You wrote the word messiah in Hebrew upside down 🤣
Backwards.
Backwards
And today it is just as much a secular holiday as it is a Christian one.
True
Technically there is few holidays celebrated at the same time.
Mr. Beat Not at all. They are two separate holidays under the same name. One is full of religious and spiritual significance, and the other is based more in the presents and food alone. They’re far too separate to be considered actually the same anymore. It’s like Scots and English. I would suggest you learn more about the religious celebration of Christmas, as there is so much different to it.
@@sawyersprott Technically they weren't on the first place. Christian celebration has nothing to do with Santa Claus and presents. It was Coca-cola what used some European tradition to create secular cult of consumption with they fat red coated mascot. Also I'm joking. In my country we celebrate his birthday on sixth December, when he actually did born. And that beside fact that Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Las Posadas, Pancha Ganapati, Yule, Koliada and few others happen in similar time. It is because winter solstice was important time for many cultures.
Sadly
Did you just annex Poland and Czech / Bohemia? Western Slav traditions are not same as our Eastern brethren or German cousins...
when is poland not getting annexed
@@skyeshi3570 Yep!👍😂
we are germans thats what we do 🤷🏼♂️
What a great video. I wish everyone happy Christmas holidays
keith watkinson What are you babbling about? Do you even know?
In English : Christ
In Greek : Χριστός
In 1021 Parchment paper was quite expensive, so any techniques for saving space were welcome. The abbreviation stuck and eventually was shortened to Xmas.
Nice video.Merry Christmas from Bulgaria.
Great video as always dude keep up the good work
It was a nice video!! I liked a lot how the Christmas tradition are not only relationated with Santa and it came from years and years of tradition in the Roman empire and also with the religion
Saint nicholas*
What is Odin doing in Lithuanian lands?
Prussian - Skalvian lands to be fair. Though he wasn't welcomed there.
@@abbba2007 *Still Lithuanian lands.
Prussians, Skalvian, Samogitians, etc. were all Lithuanian tribes.
It's similar to the Germany with Lombards, Saxons, etc. Who all spoke slightly different languages, but they were of the same genetics, religion, and culture.
It should be belshnekle. Dwight would not be pleased
ALL gift givers merged together in to 1 gift giver.. ether lives in the cold north, or greenland.
Fun fact: In Denmark we say that Santa (Julemanden) lives in Greenland :)
Not at the north pole?
@@olalustig5397 nope :-)
But Greenland is green and everyone knows that Santa doesn't live in a green place. I don't understand
Christmas we know today has got a lot of things that has nothing to do with the birth of Christ for example: Santa Claus, Christmas trees, elves, candies, reindeers, toys, Santa's sleigh and decorations.
The whole Santa stuff comes from the feast of Saint Nicholas
Sinterklaas is a mix of a catholic bishop, St. Nicholas, and Odin. Not just his own thing. I think it's interesting how the old ways sneak themselves into modern celebrations. You can change the name of the holiday but the spirit.
Will you do an animated history of Romania?
let's talk about simona halep
Damn, that Terror book is legit awesome. You get respect in my book, fam. Cheers!
Lets be real, CocaCola and Capitalism are to blame for our modern instance of "Santa"
@keith watkinson Technically Saint Nicholas of Myra was from Asia Minor and celebration of his birthday was paganised over time. Also he is ironically famous from punching Arius in the face, during council of Nicea ;D
@@TheRezro that’s the Nicholas I love
@@Alpha1918 Santa's elves actually Orcus... what explain some recently popular Krampus stuff. lol
@@TheRezro I wasn’t talking ab his elves tho
@@Alpha1918 I know. It was just funny trivia.
Anyone remember the time Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) supposedly got jailed for holding a temper tantrum at some religious council? Possibly Nicaea or Edirne or something 😂🤣
Ah, the first Council of Nicaea. He allegedly sucker punched nonconformist Arius (of "Arian heresy" fame) and wound up in the locker for a few hours because of it. 🤣
You know you've been naughty when Santa punches you in the face lol
Badass but I think it’s more of a legend
@@Alpha1918 I did say "allegedly" 😁
I loved this so much! I've often wondered how St. Nicholas became Santa Clause. This answered so many of my questions.
And coca cola made him red
@@morthenfredriks4946 Yeah...which is very paradoxical, because that should have been interpreted as a communist conspiracy in the US, during the McCarthyism's (first) Cold War era (or communist witch hunt for those who don't know this)🤨
@@morthenfredriks4946 they didn't lol stop believing in myths
@@parkyamato9450 ?
Y'know what, Santa Claus is punching a heretic
The one who created christmas i love you and its such lovely holiday
You can thank the early Church!
Best video on this channel so far 🎄

"Trolled the ancient yuletide carol"!
Where my icelandic yule lads at?
Saturnalia was actually the 17th-20th of December, at longest lasting to the 23rd. The date December 25th was chosen because early Christians calculated and believed Jesus’s conception and death were on March 25th, so since pregnancies last 9 months, December 25th would be his birth.
Also, Norse folk didn’t find pine trees sacred, that was oak trees. They had no tradition of putting up a Yule tree either. Christmas trees date back to 1200s France where they were props in Adam and Eve plays, and represented the paradise trees in the Garden of Eden.
I also wished you would go more in detail about how the feast of Saint Nicholas was merged with Christmas, which is why the Santa and gift stuff is also celebrated in Christmas.
He said evergreens I think.
@@darkphoenix4568 pine trees are evergreens
Can you do a video about the History of Romania?
Love the vid! You just get better ❤
Merry Christmas 🎄
"KB was nestled all snug in his bed with visions of Prager U tormented his head." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
We still have Sinterklaas in the Netherlands
Christmas however replaced the extension made to Saturnalia to celebrate Sol Invictus, since Saturnalia originally didn't cover the 25th, this was made by Aurelianus, however the figure of Sol Invictus was probably taken from the Christians so the Romans could have a single monotheistic imperial god, and the date was most likely copied from eastern Christians like the Copts which already celebrated Christmas on December 25th.
So you can say Christmas was stablished to replace Sol Invictus stablished by Aurelianus which was copied from the Christmas of the Copts, making it go full circle.
Well Sol invictus was celebrated in October every 4 years, as enforced by Aurelian. There’s one source, a calendar that places sol Invictus on the 25th and that was done after Christmas was already being celebrated, meaning this was likely done to compete with Christmas. Pagans moved the date of their holiday to the day of Christmas.
What about john Marco allegro or what's his face and the book the sacred mushroom and the cross. Which tells about how a lot of these traditions were centered around trippy mushrooms?
Of course in Australia they leave Beer out instead of milk.
I’d be down for more videos like this. Still holding out hope for more mythology videos.
Same but for Samhain
Christmas!!!!!!!!!! Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christmas!!!!!!!!! Christmas bells Christmas bells Christmas bells
Love this video!
Could you please do an animated history of the Balcan countries (by witch i mean the southern slavic countries)
Love the video!
1:27 the beginning 😎
“Cozy up to the fire, get ya eggnog” for a 9 minute video 😂
There were not three wise men. It's never stated how many wisemen came. Only the 3 named gifts.
Can you do the history of the Austria-Hungary empire?
So, it's a lot more complicated than what people make it out to be
Audible owe me much if that challenge was constant. I do a book a day usually. I'm about 30 books from doing my 2000th lol.
Missing : Piñatas, posadas, belenes, flor de noche
I like these videos!!!
In Western Asia/Persia they have some Shab-e Yalda (night of forty) where they eat watermelons and get drunk.
Is there actually a translation of the bible where its 3 wise men? To my knowledge/the two sections in the translation I know, it's just "a few" wise men, bringing gifts "such as gold, ...". The 3 being a number used in modern stories/plays to account for the three kinds of presents.
It says something like there were Magi that brought 3 gifts. We know three gifts were brought, we don’t know how many wise men there were.
Great video!
AMAZING!
Thank you for explaining the REAL reason for the season!
I read Romans would greet each other with a yo yo yo during Saturnalia.
Using this in my class
Not a good idea
@@Alpha1918 why not? I might not next year if there is a reason.
0:35 I just watched PragerU LOL 😂😂😂 P.S the amazing history of Christmas!
Australia: *Santa just wants to get drunk too*
Loved the video, but I'm sorry, small remark - in Ukraine the winter giftbringer is Saint Nickolas (in Urk. Святий Миколай).
God your jab at prager u was hilarious
not quite, ita missa est - not you are dismissed, but 'is sent' scilicet ostia missa est, the sacrificium is sent.
i love history
(Fun) Thanks for giving me money. I'am frying up the money for rolexes and other stuff, that no one can buy 😎😎😎😎. I splurge with the stuff from christmas, hope you like it !
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that there were three wise men. There were three gifts but the number of men was never stated
Me: *sees video title* welp you had a good run Suibhne.
This guy roasted PragerU
Tell us more about sinterklaas.
Great History of the Christmas at the Videos UA-cam.
PragerU pops up when I type in History of Christmas along with this video and others. lol
Can you do one about Romania please and celts please :)
A tomte or nisseis NOT an elf tho, hes based on the haugvette/hill-vette
A vette is an umbrella term in norse culture for almost all mythological creatures, from elves, drawfs, trolls etc
That's Obviousssssss!!!! Christmas is about LE BEBE GEEZUS!!!!.... Case Closed!!!!!

Christmas existed since the Roman Empire and before Jesus Christ was born it was the religious festival called Saturnalia
Very messy Christmas times.
WoW
Santa lives in Korvatunturi. Perkele.
When you are 1 day late to get your Christmas video to get out.
Christmas is still going on for eleven more days.
Do history of Canada
25 days left
Will you ever do Greece?
I watch this on xmas
You better watch UA-cam channel by Religion for Breakfast that explains academically the origin of Christmas.. Explanation here is heavy loaded by popular myth that Christmas was originated from pagan origin..
Thank you for saying this!
How to sleep? Just listen to THE TERROR.
It disturbs me a bit that you wrote Tomten in Swedish, it's tonttu in Finnish. Anyway it was a nice video
Did he just make Denmark germany?
