6 Question I have for AMERICANS about Christmas!!

[@beadus3512]

We miss you Dana !! Is everything okay? 🙏

[@sie4431]

I think Dana has given up on KZbin because of how hard it is to get visibility even with her own subscribers. I have to say that it's a shame but after a while these vlog style channels run out of ideas so maybe she has decided that other projects are more worth her time

[@sie4431]

@F. U. She's made a video or two about it

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

what happened to Trixie of "don't trust the rabbit?" She has not put out a video in 5 or 6 months. Is she ok? 😲

1. I decorate the weekend before Thanksgiving. Mainly because I get too busy after Thanksgiving, plus I enjoy my house decorated for the holidays. 2. I suppose it’s red and green, but I use red and gold in my household. 3. Red first. 4. We leave Christmas cookies and water out (I dislike milk). But I end up just putting them back in the tins after my daughter goes to bed. 5. I grew up in central Pennsylvania and there are numerous German-style Christmas markets - so yes, I’ve been to them. My favorite is in my hometown - Mifflinburg, PA. But I just visited Bethlehem, PAs this past weekend. 6. I do not having an ugly Christmas sweater.

It depends where you live on when you start decorating outside. In areas where you can get snow (and I mean a lot of snow) in September or October you decorate the outside of your house before, but don't turn it on until after Thanksgiving. I went to a Swiss German Market in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has a town called New Glarus that looks exactly like Glarus in Switzerland. I went to the Christmas Market in Glarus and the two looked pretty much the same. I find it interesting that they are trying to preserve their heritage in New Glarus. Everyone learns to speak Swiss German.

[@jeromemckenna7102]

1 yes Christmas time starts after Thanksgiving. We normally decorate early because we don't put up a real tree. 2 red and green. I also see white since it can signify snow. 3 red and green for me. 4 we never left anything out for Santa, 5 I've never been to a Christmas market, even if I live in the German belt in Minnesota. 6 never had an ugly Christmas sweater.

[@amtarrant]

Fellow American long-term in Germany: 1. Definitely right after Thanksgiving (I start decorating whenever I get back from visiting the US for Thanksgiving). 2/3: red and green, though I'd say it seems the color palette has expanded since my childhood to also include other colors, especially icey blue. 4. Milk and cookies and a carrot for the reindeer. 5. I've been to a couple in the US but they're always a bit disappointing because no Glühwein (alcohol being not allowed in public) 6. No

[@angelique_cs]

I definitely wait until early December to decorate, just to give some space between thanksgiving and Christmas. Red and green are definitely the idea of Christmas colors here in the US. I tend to not be especially traditional with colors, but lean into Victorian decor, so the colors can be all over the place 😃 Milk and cookies for Santa, and we left carrots for the reindeer!

[@andrewcram6032]

The day after Thanksgiving is the day for Christmas decorations set up. Red and green and maybe gold are the classic colors. Green and red are the order I feel comfortable with. Milk and cookies for Santa. Never been to a German US Christmas Market. No sweater and yes I have been to many ugly Sweaters party.

[@lauraleiske2717]

[@rickyn1135]

Dec 1st. Buy tree one to two weeks into Dec. Red & Green get over used.

[@davidlove236]

1. The “Christmas season” starts after Thanksgiving. 2. Yes, those 2 are the main Christmas colors. 3. Red and green 4. We didn’t put out anything for Santa. 5. I haven’t been to a German Christmas market, but I’d like to. 6. I don’t have an ugly Christmas sweater, but I like the ones with characters that have come out in the last couple of years.

[@Cbockhoff]

The decorations are brought up from basement the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We traditionally go cut our tree that day as well. Red and green Red and green Visited Christmas Market in Pittsburgh. It was a 3 hr drive from Cleveland. I wish more small towns in US would have markets. Milk and cookies and maybe carrots for the dear. We meet with cousins the weekend after Christmas to visit and people wear ugly sweaters.

[@larrybell1859]

1. As mentioned before, the unofficial US Christmas season begins on Thanksgiving and ends on January 6. 2. Red and green with blue, yellow, ,and maybe purple. 3. It varies but most likely it would be red and green. 4. I leave a chilled glass of Riesling wine. Wait a minute, that is for me. 5. Not yet but Feli from Germany went to the one in Chicago and said it was very authentic. 6. Yes, I have one and it has light bulbs on it. And I did go to an ugly sweater party. Anyway, Merry Christmas!

[@Trifler500]

1. Completely agree Christmas season starts the day after Thanksgiving, and does not include Thanksgiving. We don't put up lights until after Thanksgiving. 2. Red and green are the primary Christmas colors. You can't have trees and wreaths without green. For packaging there's a larger variety of colors though. 3. Red and green IMO 4. Cookies while I was a young kid. No milk because then the cat would get into it. Nothing once I was 7+. 5. Never seen a German Christmas market, unfortunately. 6. I've heard of ugly Christmas sweaters, but I've never known anyone who participated.

[@Sailor-Dave]

Merry Christmas, Dana! 1. Yes, on or after Thanksgiving, decorating and celebrating begins; 2. Red and green, definitely, with some gold; 3. Red and green; 4. Chocolate chip cookies, milk, and candy canes for the reindeer; 5. Yes, in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area; 6. No, my limited funds don't allow for such nonsense sweaters. Our family loves Christmas and the true meaning of Christmas, and wish you and Mr. German Man the very best Christmas.

[@Jost2007]

Waiting for the answers... 😉🤔 👍 - _also_ for the YT algo! 😊

[@trickycoolj]

1. Yes after Thanksgiving but lots of obsessed people are pushing Christmas the day after Halloween. 2. Red and green 3. Red first 4. Milk and cookies but I once left Santa a beer because papa (German) said Santa might like it 5. No German style Christmas market in Seattle but I hear there’s a giant one in Vancouver BC. Maybe when the pandemic is over border crossing will be easier. 6. My “ugly” sweater is from H&M in Germany lol but I also have an “ugly” sweater with R2-D2 from one of the years that a Star Wars movie premiered around Christmas and Target had a ton of themed merch.

[@morlewen7218]

In German Supermarkets Xmas season starts September 1st. How is it in the States?

[@Jenjifr]

1. I always start decorating after Thanksgiving. Some years it's earlier than others. 2. Christmas colors are red and green. 3. Red and green. 4. Never have left anything out for Santa, but if I did it would be a gingerbread cookie and glass of milk. 5. No German Christmas markets near me, but I would love to go. 6. Too warm in Florida for any kind of Christmas sweater. (But beyond that, I don't like them, too tacky for my blood.)

[@anonym-g-a-d7817]

I wish I could live in America, but I don't have much money! I don't have a driver's license or a high school diploma. But it makes me very happy that some American people want to come to Germany and live with us. I am very thankful for American people! They bring more kindness to our country and German people need to understand kindness.

[@ruralrebeltory7474]

I hope you had a fantastic Christmas!!!! We are not in America, we are in Southern England. 1. We start decorating right after Halloween including our Christmas Trees. 2. Red and green are common here. Gold and silver are also very common. 3. We do not have any kids yet, growing up my family left out cookies. 4. Some people do the ugly sweaters here, we have a never gotten into them.

[@superditdit48]

1-Yes Christmas season starts at Thanksgiving. I do not send cards or decorate. I have a wreath with a dark blue & gold ribbon. I change it every season. 2-Colors red & green.3- Red first 4-no treats for Santa. 5-no Christmas market but they are very popular with my friends who celebrate. 6- never owned an ugly sweater - no parties.

[@IceNixie0102]

1) I start decorating for Christmas whenever we finish putting away our Halloween decorations...which is usually right around Thanksgiving. We get a live tree, so often get it the weekend after Thanksgiving, because if we got it earlier it'd be dry and falling apart by Christmas. 2) Red & Green, followed by white/gold/and silver, then blues. 3) okay these are definitely the bells from some version of A Christmas Carol, right? That herald the spirits?? But yes, Red and Green. NOT GREEN AND RED. 4) We never leave anything out for Santa, and I'm glad my kids don't think we need to. It's hard enough to actually make some cookies without Santa demanding a cookie tax! Maybe I'd get onboard with some carrots for the reindeer, though. 5) Yes, I have. Baltimore has a really good one. We haven't gone in recent years (COVID) but hope to take the kids, maybe next year. 6) Nope. I have some cute Christmas t-shirts & sweatshirts, but I don't want the worn-ironically "ugly sweater".

[@blehogger]

I went to my first ugly sweater party that was held by Lindsey Stirling before her Christmas performance 2 weeks ago.

[@FurrBeard]

1: Christmas starts after Thanksgiving; I **HATE** how Xmas is eroding the importance of Thanksgiving. 2 & 3: Definitely Red and Green, and in that order. 4: We didn't leave Santa anything when I was a kid, but as an adult now I'd leave him a cigar and bourbon. ;) 5: Never been to a Christmas market of any variety. 6: I don't wear sweaters. ;)

[@alethearia]

1. Idk, sometimes it's right after Thanksgiving, sometimes it's around the Solstice. 2. Yes? I notice other people wirh green and red. I blame old traditions about holly and ivy in England. Personally I like blue and white as more wintery themed colors. 3. Both? 4. Milk and cookies. But recently I've been noticing how similar this is to an old tradition of leaving out milk and sweets to the fairies so they don't kidnap youe babes at midwinter... so that's neat. 5. Yes! The one in Leavenworth, WA. But I don't remember any of the markets in Germany from when I was small so I can't compare it. 6. I hate the texture of ugly acryllic sweaters. I'll do a nice knit wool or cotton sweater though.

Hallo! Ich hoffe dieser Kommentar erreicht euch. Von München ist es nicht so weit zu "Landsberg am Lech". Das ist eine wunderschöne Mittelalter-Stadt. Es gibt dort so viel zu entdecken, ihr werdet begeistert sein! Liebe Grüsse

It annoys me that you keep asking questions, but it is not clear in the comments whether you have even read the answers to which you asked the questions. Not everyone has to get a heart straight away, but it should be recognizable that you have dealt with the answers.

[@kaess307]

The answer to all questions about christmas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIjMlGCuZreFrqc When the snow falls wunderbar And the children happy are, When the Glatteis on the street, And we all a Glühwein need, Then you know, es ist soweit: She is here, the Weihnachtszeit Every Parkhaus ist besetzt, Weil die people fahren jetzt All to Kaufhof, Mediamarkt, Kriegen nearly Herzinfarkt. Shopping hirnverbrannte things And the Christmasglocke rings. Merry Christmas, merry Christmas, Hear the music, see the lights, Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht, Merry Christmas allerseits... Mother in the kitchen bakes Schoko-, Nuss- and Mandelkeks Daddy in the Nebenraum Schmücks a Riesen-Weihnachtsbaum He is hanging auf the balls, Then he from the Leiter falls... Finally the Kinderlein To the Zimmer kommen rein And es sings the family Schauerlich: "Oh, Chistmastree!" And the jeder in the house Is packing die Geschenke aus. Merry Christmas, merry Christmas, Hear the music, see the lights, Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht, Merry Christmas allerseits... Mama finds unter the Tanne Eine brandnew Teflon-Pfanne, Papa gets a Schlips and Socken, Everybody does frohlocken. President speaks in TVi, All around is Harmonie, Bis mother in the kitchen runs: Im Ofen burns the Weihnachtsgans And so comes die Feuerwehr With Tatü, tata daher, And they bring a long, long Schlauch And a long, long Leiter auch. And they schrei - "Wasser marsch!", Christmas is - now im - Eimer... Merry Christmas, merry Christmas, Hear the music, see the lights, Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht, Merry Christmas allerseits...

hi Ms. I would like to work with you to promote products on my platform

[@claus7577]

Lovely girl that i like style 😆

[@beatrixpastoors1104]

I, as a German who never visited the US, wonder what all the Christmas time starting after Thanksgiving and lasting for more than a month and all this obsession with decoration has to do with Jesus Christ. I heard that many US Americans are very religious, especially in the so called bible belt. So what are the religious aspects and traditions in this whole time? I think there should be something.....

[@claudiakarl2702]

Another German here. In Germany many people here decorate for Advent, with an Advent wreath etc. The christmas tree will go up short before Christmas or on Christmas eve itself. Is Advent no tradition at all in the US?

[@amtarrant]

Advent is a religious term and less widely known and used in the US. In the end, the tree goes up earlier in the US but otherwise the whole of December is Christmasy in Germany the same as in the US, even if you prefer to call it Advent in Germany (I say as an American/German whose been living in Germany for over ten years)
