    Hi! I am canadian, and I think we have a significant Vietnamese community where I live, but I can tell you many people, not just people of Vietnamese descent, love the vietnamese food! I like the videos about Vietnam, Uyen trying to recreate her Vietnamese food at home, and also the videos about Germany.

    "God was created today and tomorrow" 😂 I love that it's silly but conveys **exactly** what you mean instantly.
    In the UK the songs sung in church are called hymns (pronounced hims) and the Christmas ones specifically are called Christmas carols. Churches here often have "carol services" in the run up to Christmas where everyone sings lots of carols together. I'm not Christian, though I used to be as a child, and carols hold a lot of nostalgia for me, some of them are so beautiful and peaceful and joyful.

    In Australia, because it’s usually quite hot, many families now just have a cold Christmas dinner. Salads cold meat and seafood, or a typical Australian barbecue or/and a trip to the beach if you live close by. It’s traditionally a family day as well with lots of gifts especially for the kids. Boxing Day, the next day, is often a recovery day or catching up with family and friends we didn’t see the day before. The rest of the week we eat leftovers lol. New Year’s Eve many people stay up drinking eating and dancing until the new year ticks over.

We do the British thing of big lunch on Christmas Day, turkey or goose, purple cabbage, baked winter squash. Lots of Christmas baking, German cookies and stollen, Anglo Aussie fruitcakes and Christmas puddings…

    i'm canadian and for my family christmas is very busy. it's a week of decorating at the start of december, days of baking things and wrapping them or putting them in tins to hand out, a full day of cooking savory foods and things... the day of christmas eve is all about visiting everyone you possibly can (friends and family), singing carols, and doing last minute present wrapping to trick the kids into thinking santa arrived. then christmas day is more chill, eating the things that were cooked, lighting bonfires in the snow or the kids will go sledding. i love it but i find it exhausting - i understand why GBF's parents may not want to do all that if they are older!

Nonetheless, we also have feasts on the 25 and 26, depending on who has time, were you visit this year etc. Her German boyfriend is lowkey boring, he and his family even eat bread as every dinner.

    @8:13, Uyen, as far as I know, Vietnamese Catholics sing a special way called doc kinh which uses the tone markers in the language but interprets them as musical notes or tune patterns (which i think is a little different from the spoken word tone). I have been to vietnamese mass here in japan and it was super interesting since because of this doc kinh thing, all the vietnamese parishioners instinctively know the tune of the song without having to memorize the musical notes or reading the normal musical notation on the staff since it is in-built to the language. It sounds super cool 😎 and this is a special feature for vietnamese catholics in particular. Imagine singing a song correctly even if it is the first time you see it, how awesome is that? Is like an instant choir, just add water

    It's very interesting to see how other people celebrate christmas. I live in Australia, my father's family is greek and so we celebrated every holiday with greek traditions. My mother's side is German, but they never followed any traditions. Growing up, greek Christmas traditions involved adults fasting for 40 days before Christmas, for which they did not eat meat poultry, pork, game, fish, dairy, eggs, butter, or olive oil. They (mostly my yiayia (grandma) went to church often in the lead up to christmas. We would make traditional greek almond butter christmas cookies called kourabiedes. Then Christmas day everyone would go to my yiayia's house (grandma) and we would have a big feast and the adults would break their fast. We would have lots of different dishes and lamb on the spit, sometimes we had goat too.
    After having children, I still practice some traditions, but my partner is Cambodian, so we now mix traditions and make up our own too. :)

    Yes, Chinese tradition also ask the dead politely to take away the food. Last time we did throw wooden crescents and it has to face one up and one down for the dead to agree for the food to be taken away or that they are "full" from the meal but nowadays we just say "thank you for visiting we hope you have a good meal, we will be taking it away now" and bow with the food before taking it away

    My Oma and Opa always celebrated on the 24th, like you said. We'd exchange gifts, the entire family. And then on Christmas morning, that was just for me and Mom and Dad. That is when WE exchanged our gifts to each other. And we would always make Rolladen, about 50 of them. Our recipe called for onions sautee'd with onions, with bacon slices, boiled egg slices, a dill pickle spear, all rolled up onto long and hammered out pieces of thin beef, that have been smothered in mustard. We'd hold them together with 'needles' and serve them with gravy over Uyen's favorite--noodles, hahaha. Our German side of the family had a HUGE celebration each 24th, and then after Mom and Dad and I would go home, they would continue on, to downtown to go to midnight mass. I miss those days. This is my first year without my Mom or any family left. This is the worst holiday season of my 56 year long life. And my beagle is dying too, so it's so depressing here. But happy holidays to you guys, and happy lunar new year, Uyen, in late January. :-) -Molly from Florida, USA

    My mother's family is from Germany, she and her siblings born in the U.S. They are Catholic and grew up with opening gifts and going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, and having the big meal on Christmas Day. That is also how I grew up celebrating. As an adult I celebrate Winter Solstice. My mom also grew up with her Masses being in Latin which she has not been able to find near us. I'm excited because for this Lunar New Year it is the Year of the Snake which is my sign :)

    In Orlando, Florida in the U.S., the local Vietnamese Catholic church hosts a big Tết festival at the fairgrounds every year. Basically thousands of Vietnamese in the area show up to it. I've gone the past few years with my Vietnamese husband, and our favorite part of the festival is the food!
    My husband is now Catholic like me, although his family is not. But I do really like being able to enjoy aspects of our different holiday celebrations this time of year.

    So going to Vietnam and seeing Christmas decorations in July is the equivalent of the neighbor with Christmas decorations on his house in April and a dead and wilted Christmas tree in his living room with a mountain of ocher colored pine needles around it.
    As far as that church singing goes, that sounds EXACTLY like the atonal, flat hymns that I heard throughout my childhood spent in Catholic Mass.
    I only actually learned that Christians, or at least Catholic ones anyway, knew how to sing well when I went to Mass in Europe.

    My point is German boyfriend’s friends and family likely aren’t just being polite when they compliment your cooking. Vietnamese food is among the great cuisines of the world. 💯 🍲 Pho alone is enough to qualify, it’s quasi-medicinal.

    I'd guess the American tradition of eating and celebrating so big on the 25th is because we don't have any other days off as holidays. A lot of people have to go back to work on the 26th. Also a lot of people work the 24th as well so you pack everything into the 25th to "make the most of it".

    I’m all in with keeping decorations up all year, especially the lights. I love the idea of a countdown. At the end of the Christmas Eve service we light candles. We often sing the Happy Birthday song. Methodists get a piece of bread and a little sip of delicious grape juice. We eat tamales on Christmas Eve in San Antonio Texas USA. This food is complicated to make, but that is done several days ahead of time as a family and friends activity. This way no one has to work - more time for worship and fun. Our feast is on Christmas Day. If you are unable to cook for your ancestors is it permissible to have their feast catered? I don’t want to be disrespectful, but I wonder how people who are disabled get to honor their ancestors. I’m too old to do so much cooking anymore

    I think it might help to know that the western Christmas is a mixture of at least two traditions: One of them is original European from pre-Christian times, and the other is the Christian festival. After the christianization of Europe over 1200 - 1500 years ago (for many regions outside Greece or Italy), this festival was still around and was celebrated as the main festival of the year at the winter solstice in most places. In order to fit the celebration to the new faith, it was turned into a celebration of Jesus' birth - although Jesus was probably born in the summer, not in December. If some of the celebration does not seem to fit with other pieces, it is often because of these dual origins. In spite of its sometimes disjointed character, the Christmas festival is still my personal favourite holiday of the year.

      We do celebrate Nikolaus on 6th December though and on the 5th in the evening, you'd have to clean your shoes, put them (well, one actually) in front of the door and over night Nikolaus will fill it with mandarines, nuts, chocolate and a little "Weckmann" (baked sweet bread in the shape of a man with a pipe and raisin eyes).

In the UK, it is kind of inbetween very fancy and simple. People roast turkeys like it's a religion (when the real tradition is goose), and it does not even taste very nice. The stuffing is the best part.
    Anyway, a very good Xmas to you, and a great 2025!

    I think its really interesting Uyen's take on Christianity, the body of christ is free food😂 its also interesting GB is going to church. Future suggestion is spirituality and religion as a couple.😊

      @@Nadia-vk4vi is mostly based on pork meat. In Romania, we have this tradition of slaughtering pigs before Christmas. So basically pork meat sausages pork meat roast...and the quintessential sarmale (pickled cabbage roll with minced pork meat, rice/corn/ mushrooms etc) and so on, with different sidings...but this depends on the regions... and a lot of home-baked pies and cakes like cozonac ...Again it depends on the area...and everything is accompanied by hard plum/apricot/quince snaps called palinca/rachiu/tuica (again depends on the region you are from) and wine...i don't know al the dishes..because I'm from the city...maybe Romanians will like to help.
      ps. and the traditional salata de beof with chicken meat :))

    As a german, I have to say that german boyfriend is coming from a quite stiff and boring family lol. Only 10% of the people I know are like that. A feast is normal on the 24 and 25, sometimes on the 26

    der bf ist echt einer der nettesten Typen die ich je erlebt habe. er hat soooooo endlos viel Geduld mit Uyen und zeigt ihr und ihrer Kultur sehr viel mehr Respekt als sie ihm und der deutschen Kultur. Uyen ist echt anspruchsvoll und naja....manchmal bisschen herablassend und versteht nicht wirklich was er ständig erklärt. Wie eben warum es an Heiligabend eher sparsames Essen gibt. Ansonsten finde ich es echt seltsam Weihnachten zu feiern aber dabei auf christliches herabzusehen und nichtmal kapieren dass weihnachten nunmal ein christliches Fest ist. das ist echt eine asiatische Attitüde die ich komisch finde. Wenn man Christen so doof findet, dann sollte man es auch lassen Weihnachten zu feiern und es artfremd zu einem blinkyblinky-Kitsch zu verunstalten der nur noch aus Shopping und Vollfressen besteht. Sie sollte echt dankbar sein, dass er über ihre häufigen Attitüden so grosszügig hinwegsieht. Ich glaub sie weiss garnicht welchen Schatz sie da gefunden hat. Ich mag Uyen....aber sie sollte sich den Ruhm nicht zu Kopf steigen lassen und sie sollte nicht alles was die Tradition bei ihrem bf ist, als "deutsche Tradition" sehen. Obwohl bei uns in der Familie ebenfalls Kartoffelsalat und Würstchen das traditionelle Essen sind. Aber eben schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat und echte Saitenwürstle, die aus Kalbsfleisch sind und vom Metzger und nicht Brühwurst aus ner Dose. das ist halt doch nochma,l ein exorbitanter Unterschied. Und damn...macht mal einer Uyen einen gescheiten Nudelsalat. ich schwör sie würde meinen lieben :D

    If we are not Asian, chances are lunar New Year is only a word but we don't really know the origin or meaning it has.
