Saint Nicholas always brought us an orange in addition to the chocolate. 🙂
There is so much in common with my country, Czechia! We also celebrate Mikuláš, some of the cookies like Linzer or the little vanilla rolls look the same, we eat a fish soup and a fried carp with potato salad and baby Jesus brings our presents! No wonder Budapest feels like home everytime I visit!
I 💙 learning the Christmas traditions in all the different countries. .

Another fab video. Was loling at 'Mariah Carey on the radio' I still buy my 18 yr old an Advent calendar.. Coming to Budapest Monday ! Cant wait. 😊
Mariah Carey and Wham! Will still play in the radio even when the sun has consumed the earth billions of years from now 😂 enjoy your time here in Budapest when you come 😊
I am from the US and when I was little, I never believed in Santa Claus because we never opened presents on Christmas morning. Every Christmas Eve we would go to church and my Grandmother would be at home cooking. When we returned from church, the tree had presents under it and after dinner we opened our gifts. Christmas Day was reserved as holy and we only went to church, had lunch and sometimes went visiting. I definetely had a Hungarianized Christmas! lol
Hehhe, perhaps it's a Hungarian thing that we can't wait till Christmas morning on 25th, and we had to open up the presents already on the eve of 24th 😊 also, parents and grand parents cooking is the best! 😊
Your videos are the best!
Thank you, glad to see you enjoy them 😊
I grew up in canada, but I would always leave my boots on the windowsill clean dec 5, and I would get chocolates dec 6 morning, thanks to my hungarian dad and German mom.
Keeping old traditions alive even as a grown up is so nice 😊
In Poland the Christmas season and traditions are quite similar to Hungarian. In southern Poland the gifts on Christmas Eve are brought by the Starlet however, we open them right after the Christmas Eve dinner (consisting of 12 dishes for happy 12 upcoming months). Kids can't wait, but they have to be patient. Traditions says to keep the Christmas tree decorated as long as until February 2.
Thanks for another video about beautiful Hungary!
12 dishes sounds like a nice, long and tasty dinner with family 😊 and a lot of promises about going to the gym afterwards to burn those calories 😅
I love this video, shared it with my USA-born daughter. She was excited to see our traditions (that are unique here in the USA) all in this video!♥️🎄
great video as always, My mother used to make Diós Kifli, I remember her sitting in the kitchen, cracking the walnuts.. such happy memories, Boldog Karácsonyt
Merry Christmas to you all. I think Budapest will be wonderful during holidays. 🎉🎉.
Could you please make a video for outsiders who find it difficult to understand addresses and how to travel via public transportation from one district to another . One detailed video would be helpful.
We'll see what we can do about that :)
What a coincidence. Today I went to Nagy Vásárcsarnok for getting some ponty szelet, and came across a lady selling Dió pozsony kifli. Those were delicious 😊😊😊 Thank you Akos for educating expats like us about Hungarian culture through your great videos. 🙏🙏🙏
You are welcome! Happy to see you see value in these videos! Enjoy the delicious snacks like the diós Pozsonyi kifli 😊
Thanks - the desserts looked delicious! I've had some of these desserts from my mother-in-law (who is Hungarian although from Austria) but not all of them. I'm now googling recipes for the dios kifli and the Gerbeaud cake!! If you have recommendations, I'd love them!!!!
Szia, Thanks for sharing this informational video. I love most of the desserts, especially the makos begli and the kifli.
Mákos desserts are the best! Have a lovely festive season Fluffies! 😊
I agree. Luckily makos begli is available all year round, not just at Christmas. But I have not had dios kifli in many years. Stay fluffy and all the best for the New Year.@@StuffedCabbageAdventures
I always look forward to your videos. I will have to plan 2 trips to Hungary, one in the summer and 1 in winter to see the Christmas markets. Or maybe I should just stay for 6 months and catch both? 😜
Thank you for your support! :) There are definately a lot of gems outside of Budapest. Nature, small villages, charming cities... it's easy to build a very long itinerary 😀
or to change to Hungary to live there in peace. So we did.
Wishing you a blessed Christmas and happy new year. What do you think maybe we will meet you in Christmas market next week 👍😉
Thank you and you too as well. Depends which Market you will visit :) video about several Xmas markets will come out this Saturday if you want to visit some alternatives :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures I think we are going to the main one I think it’s in front of the cathedral, Saturday the 16th we will be there coming from Prague
Baby Jesus is my favorite Jesus
You didn't mention that in Hungary it's Baby Jesus who brings the presents to the children on Christmas Eve not Santa Claus
06:43 this is where it's covered 😊
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. In the countries of the Carpathian basin, Christmas customs are similar. In our country, it is not Santa Claus who brings gifts, but little Jesus. Originally, he himself was the gift to the world. Therefore, Christmas Eve is the day of opening gifts for us. While in the Anglo-Saxon countries there is opening of gifts in the morning on December 25th, in the Orthodox world it is on January 6th, the feast of the three holy kings who brought gifts to the little Jesus.
