I really enjoy seeing how other Countries celebrate Christmas 🎅🏼🤶🏼☃️❄️🎄 or any other Holidays. God Bless you and enjoy every sec of your life because your not promised tomorrow 🙏
I enjoy watching the Christmas holiday videos year round as a way to keep me on track for Christmas knitting. I also enjoy learning about other ways the holiday is celebrated. And Hygge. It is something I am incorporating in to my life after 30 years of raising children. The idea of Hygge is really helping me simplify the clutter, both real and emotional, in my life.
When I was a child (in rural Kentucky, USA in the '50s) we also had the candle chime that went around. It was angels. I remember looking up at it on the table, then getting tall enough to touch it (forbidden until we were older!). :D My brother and I would just stand there in the darkened room mesmerized by the candle-light, the movement and the tinkling chimes. One of my best Christmas memories.
Hi, I am from India, I like to watch u r videos because they are so interesting, and I have desire to know about ur Swedish country and its culture, bye.....
I feel so warm and cozy watching your videos. I love how you describe your traditions infused with a bit of history in all your videos. Thank you for being who you are and all that you do. Sending warm thoughts from across the miles, Teresa from USA
So excited your channel popped up in my suggested videos! I love the Swedish Christmas traditions. I’m American and love every little thing you shared. ❤️
In the part of Germany where my family lives , the local priest blesses the doorway of the home on New years eve, and marks the doorway in chalk with the date. By doing this, he is welcoming the Christ child into the home for the year. This also brings luck to the family for the coming year. I think it is a lovely tradition.
I am Swediah. I am used to the tradition that, in the early morning of Christmas Day, we go to church, to celebrate that Christ is born. The important reason to why we celebrate Christmas at all. At least what I've been told. Beautiful video, by the way. 🙏
We celebrate the birth of Jesus. I'm pretty sure December 25th wasn't His actual birthday, ( I guess it is about a 1 in 365 chance though) but it is a special time to honor Him just like we celebrate other's birthdays. We, as Christians, love and honor Him every day but this is just a sweet and special time for us to remember what God has done for us. I wish love and blessings to you all!
Love your traditions. I also really like your wood stove. It is beautiful. One of our traditions in America is the sending Christmas greeting cards. They are usually depicting Christmas or seasonal images and now often include photos of the family sending the card. I am also an artist and creating artwork for Christmas cards has been an important part of my art business. I usually work in watercolors for the original art and then translate it into digital images to be printed on the Christmas cards. One of our family's traditions is to put all the Christmas cards that we received during the season into a basket after Christmas and over the next year place one card in a prominent place where we see it daily to be reminded to think of and pray for that specific family or person. It helps us remember them throughout the year not just at Christmas.
Same here in Sweden with Christmas greeting cards. Lot of our Christmas tradition has roots way back in time, for ex. some people exhibit a Christmas sheaf outdoors for the birds, from the beginning it was for Odin's horse Sleipner would have something to eat when they came to visit, something of a sacrifice and it would be the first sheaf of the first harvest that year.
I remember the sending of greeting cards from my childhood(and how the Swedish post office sent out notices every year on when you were to send your cards at the latest so ppl would receive them before Christmas eve)-today internet have made it ”rendundant” sadly.
This is lovely as the season approaches...thank you. I love the simplicity of your tree and I am sure it smells heavenly. I will order an Anglaspel for my home just as another commenter did, I am of Austrian background and we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve as well. God Bless!
I'm pretty Americanized but I'm 4 generation. Growing up we did so much more and even still celebrated st Lucia but now we've gotten away from it somewhat. My mom still makes all the traditional dishes though. My grandparents live in Florida and it's hard for them to come out during the Christmas season but before they did we upheld all the festivities. We still always have two Christmas trees, one big normal American one but the Swedish traditional one with all the tumptas and reed/grass woven angels. We used to have all of the candles in our windows but as time goes on we keep up with these things less and less but no matt3r what the Sanderson family will always have our glög. Hahaha God bless! Ps we still celebrate on the 24--- the 25 is honestly but like I said more and more Americanized were getting away from the 24th too. Sigh. Sometimes I wish my family never left although I still have many many relatives there.
I remember my grandma putting the candles on my head and buying me a special dress and sash because I got to he the light bearer for the first time. Now learning about paganism I'm pretty saddened by it lol but I was so damn excited
I just discovered your videos tonight and have been binge watching. I too love the country life and animals. I live in the American countryside and have what amounts to a small zoo. We have parrots,cats, dogs, miniature horses, peacocks, geese, ducks and chickens. I am a retired nurse and watching your videos it appears to me that living in the countryside has been good for your health and most certainly good for your spirit.

Nice traditions!! I need to have "Christmas Spirit" because it's very difficult to me to have it u_u
Thank you Augustín! The feeling of the Christmas spirit sure is lovely, I like that everything becomes so still and calm. At least for me. I like the non commercial more quiet Christmas celebrations :)
We celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas. We go ice skating, we decorate our tree as a family and drink eggnog, we always bake stuff for our neighbors, adopt a family in need. We absolutely love Christmas. Love your videos.❤️
I am Swedish. My grandparents came over from Sweden. On Christmas eve we always went to my grandparents for our Swedish Christmas! You didn't mention Tompte! Tompte would ring a bell and leave a bag of presents on the front porch. We all got 1 present. We had a Swedish smorgasbord with swedish meatballs, pigs feet, knuckerbur with muenster cheese, beets, Swedish coffee bread, Swedish cookies, etc! I can't remember all the other foods. I miss those days! Thank you for sharing your Christmas!
Hi lovely! The Swedish traditions is actually that he knocks on the door and then comes in and gives either all the gifts away one by one, or at least some of the gifts to the Children, before he goes of and leaves his bag of gifts with the family he just visited ;) Maybe your family changed it up a bit, that happens most of the time. Some traditions are mixed with new ones and you get a mixture of both, which I think is wonderful too! You got a little bit of Sweden and a lot of Sweden with your Christmas food, except the pig feet that is not so common these days. But I think it was more common a few generations back! A warm God Jul from Sweden!
Baked turnip? Are turnips that big? How do you impart a smokey flavor into a turnip? And, how can a Vegetarian create a substitute for Swedish Meatballs?
Very sweet traditions. I love the tree. So natural, simple ...just right. Love your videos, sorry I didnt find you sooner. I think I live in a similar climate, in country, on 10 acres of woods. Winters can be hard and long here, with a lot of snow. Northern Michigan, U.S.A. I'll keep watching!
So wonderful to gain new knowledge of your Special Christmas traditions. Would like to have recipes posted. Thank you for all that you do! Your friend from Kansas City!
I took notes today and made a list of everything I want this year for my American/Swedish Christmas Eve...I even went onto Amazon and ordered a Anglaspel (Nativity). 😊 I love your videos.
What a nice and heartwarming video, thank you Maria. I'm watching this in November 2019 and I love it, because I love Christmas at all. I live upon the mountains in the Black Forest in the southwest of Germany and we're also celebrating Christmas eve at the 24th of December. I don't need big presents for Christmas but I want to have a big tree, many candles, my self made Christmas cookies, Glühwein (don't know how to translate this😁), a lovely fire in the wood stove and having a good time together with my two boys and my boyfriend.
My grandparents were from Sweden...had 9 children...my mother and father put on a smorgasbord every year for her family...dad learn how to make sill and made a big batch every year. Oh how I miss those days...my small family does not like any of the delicious foods I grew up on. Your video was lovely to see...tack
Thank you for sharing your beautiful traditions with all your friends . You look beautiful your blues eyes are twinkling ,I love your fireplace and your lovely tree. Happy holidays to you and your family.
We love to watch children's shows too. Since my five children were young, we had a list of feel good movies to put us into the Christmas Spirit. And now they are in their late twenties and thirties, not much has changed. I love to watch them myself! After all, we are all children at heart xxxx
Ahh I love this video so much *____*. I hope you decide to make more Christmas themed videos this year! I love seeing cozy Christmas's. I haven't quite gotten that down on my end (haven't felt "in the Christmas spirit" for quite a few years now) so its super inspiring to see how others celebrate.
Well after have lived here in Sweden for 20+ years...I can say, I don't think I have ever gotten used to the Swedish Christmas cuisine...but I do like pepparkakor, revben and of course the MEATBALLS!...😁
Thank you for this lovely video. I would love to know how you make your baked turnip. I am plant based and we no longer have ham either. Hugs from the US.
All our Swedish Christmas traditions (from ALL FOUR grandparents - I’ve 100% Swedish genes!) is mostly what we have left of our heritage - the Grandma’s cookie recipes and the food traditions plus Donald Duck and some lovely decorations handed down. I treasure them so! All 15 of my cousins do sing the Swedish birthday song even now although we butcher the words because we all just learned it by ear as children. LOL This was wonderful video for me. Tack sa mycket
I just watched this video now 😄 I really really love Christmas and want to celebrate it all year round 😊 Nice to learn more about the Swediqh traditions. Looking forward to the 24th of december already 🎄
I repeat, I love the northern winter FOODS lol! Wow! In Puerto Rico we have alot of delicious foods year round but in the North it is all very different and delicious too and it is what I love best about winter countries and areas in the USA. Sweden reminds me of what I see in Norway.
I love the Swedish Christmas traditions!here in oregon I always celebrate with my grandparents,grandfather is full Swedish.we drink the same drinks,with different pastries,cookies,cheese,crackers,smoked meats.supper was always ham.plus celebrate the new st.lucia .my favorite time of the year.when we exchange gifts we always give a gift we have made ourselves.
Dear Maria, thanks. It was interesting. We - in Moldova - have a lot of kids going from door to door singing Christmas carols, which usually have anonymous authors. In return the children are given some food and money. However, more more popular here is the New Year eve - the most family festivity (fika ) I may say. Good luck!
Thank you so much for sharing! My grandma was Swedish, but she passed away when my dad was young so we didn't get much of the culture passed down. It is nice to be able to learn about some of the traditions.
Are your Fur-babies "Yorkies" or "Silkies"?.....love your channel. In Italy 🇮🇹 Christmas Eve is more important than Christmas Day too. I especially loved going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, then coming home to hot coffee ☕ with traditional pastries 🍰 and opening the gifts 🎁. Being Americans as well, we did both (Christmas Eve with my cousins, then Christmas day at our home)...more 🎁 gifts. 😊
A wonderful presentation, a hearfelt thank you! I will remember to buy glogg, vesterbotten cheese n the other drink in the store,i arrive sweden soon. But then i guess store bought glogg is'nt the same thing, but never mind
Our son has severe autism, gut problems, food allergies and sensitivities. He can handle eating a lot of rutabaga though. I cut rutabaga into french fry sized pieces and boil them. I think the swedish turnip is rutabaga and I was wondering how you prepared it. Thanks! :)
My comment for this video comes with a two years delay but...Merry Christmas anyway because next week is christmas again. For Greece is the biggest celebration (due to christianity), after the Easter. for Best wishes to all the family and hope new year bring many blessings for all the people where ever they live arround the world.
Hugs and kisses from the USA! Thanks for sharing some of your lovely traditions. We had a candle thing that moved when it was lit. We used it at Christmas when I was little. One Christmas our kitty was very curious about it. It was moving and she wanted to play with it. She managed to catch her tail on fire! Thankfully we helped her right away!
Thank you hun for writing that sweet comment, it truly warms my heart! Haha oh no, I can picture it, that must have been a chaotic moment before you managed to help her. Good thing you did! A merry Christmas to you, hope your celebrations is/was wonderful!
I have been out of touch and miss your videos. I lost my baby brother to a terrible accident The autumn of the year you made this video .. it was the first CHRISTMAS without him and very difficult for my mother as well as the rest of us. I am back and lovin your videos
Hej! Vilken mysig video :) Ser väldigt mycket fram emot julafton! Jag tycker det är väldigt kul att göra videor själv och jobbar hårt på att bygga upp min kanal och nå ut till fler. Har du några tips på hur man kan växa med sin kanal på TH-cam? Stort tack och god jul!
I am living in Australia winter come opposite wither north so the view look not antique and romantic like your country snow falls doors way out side home 🏠 I don’t like cold I like snow fall in winter ❄️ bonne Noël 🎄
I love your angle candle stick with a bigger candle. We use to have an older style one that I have seen in one of your newer vlog's but the candles seem to burn fast. I hope to find your recipe for the turnip substitute for ham, it looks delicious!
I really enjoy seeing how other Countries celebrate Christmas 🎅🏼🤶🏼☃️❄️🎄 or any other Holidays. God Bless you and enjoy every sec of your life because your not promised tomorrow 🙏
This warmed my heart so much
Thank you so much, I hope to bring more Christmas related videos this Christmas!

As a Swedish American, thank you for reminding me of heritage and traditions growing up.
Thankyou Maria , that was lovely
Thank you to share a nice tradition of your country. Sweden is far from my country (Thailand) I would like to visit X'mas time in Sweden.
It was so lovely to see how Christmas is celebrated in a different part of the world. Thanks for sharing.
I’m not Swedish at all but I sure love how the Swedes celebrate Christmas! This just gave me ideas to Swedify my Christmas this year 😁🇸🇪💛💙

Your tree is exactly the kind I get!! They are beautiful. You look so pretty. Enjoy many more. God Bless from North central Wisconsin, USA
What kind is it? I love it!
In Guatemala we also celebrate in the 24th
Celebrate the season...remember the reason. God Jul 🎄
Will you give us your turnip recipe for this Christmas? It looks gorgeous!
Merry Christmas!!! Lovely traditions!!!

Maybe you can refresh my memory... is Sweden where the Santa Lucia traditions come from?
@@BennyLlama39 Yes it is.
Helena Lundqvist👍 Jesus is the reason for the season. Wishing you a very happy Christmas 🎄
@@BennyLlama39 No, it originates from Italy but Swedes celebrate it in a unique way.
We celebrate the birth of Jesus.

YOUR EYES ARE sooo BEAUTIFUL, very angelic in the natural window light,, wonderful!! love your videos so much! it is like traveling to the North!
Did you notice it looked like Maria had crosses for irises? Must have been a reflection of something...cool idea for contact lenses, though.
I was in Sweden and they ( younger people). Don’t say puss o Kramer any more. Sad

Puss och kram from Russia 😘(hope, i wrote it correctly)
Beautiful and interesting video. Thank you
Simple, nice, easy. I'm into simple!
I wish i could go there in your country, its nice.
Are your Fur-babies "Yorkies" or "Silkies"?.....love your channel. In Italy 🇮🇹 Christmas Eve is more important than Christmas Day too. I especially loved going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, then coming home to hot coffee ☕ with traditional pastries 🍰 and opening the gifts 🎁. Being Americans as well, we did both (Christmas Eve with my cousins, then Christmas day at our home)...more 🎁 gifts. 😊
Beautiful!!!!!! I’m from US. I live in the southern area of Georgia. Love your videos.
Your style of cooking is pure art! Such a good taste! Also the photographies and videos, you are like an artist.
Love the way u live ur life....💝
Where can a get a candle holder like that?? That moves around 😱 so pretty
Am I weird watching this in June? 😁
reeve resaba no..cos that make me weird too lol.
Hi Maria! Would it be possible to get the plant based turnip “ham” recipe? I’d love to make it this year for Christmas Eve! God jul! 🎄
A wonderful presentation, a hearfelt thank you! I will remember to buy glogg, vesterbotten cheese n the other drink in the store,i arrive sweden soon. But then i guess store bought glogg is'nt the same thing, but never mind
Our son has severe autism, gut problems, food allergies and sensitivities. He can handle eating a lot of rutabaga though. I cut rutabaga into french fry sized pieces and boil them. I think the swedish turnip is rutabaga and I was wondering how you prepared it. Thanks! :)

Hej! Vilken mysig video :) Ser väldigt mycket fram emot julafton! Jag tycker det är väldigt kul att göra videor själv och jobbar hårt på att bygga upp min kanal och nå ut till fler. Har du några tips på hur man kan växa med sin kanal på TH-cam? Stort tack och god jul!
I am from Sweden but I live in Switzerland and this made me want to go back to Sweden and live there. Could you show where you can live best ?
I am living in Australia winter come opposite wither north so the view look not antique and romantic like your country snow falls doors way out side home 🏠 I don’t like cold I like snow fall in winter ❄️ bonne Noël 🎄
You have beautiful blue eyes, you look like you love your country so much.
I love your angle candle stick with a bigger candle. We use to have an older style one that I have seen in one of your newer vlog's but the candles seem to burn fast. I hope to find your recipe for the turnip substitute for ham, it looks delicious!
No herring or st Lucia candles?
What your turnip recipe?
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM 🇸🇬 SINGAPORE
