It's good to see the old ways of preserving and storing food are being preserved. That cake looked yummy. An underground cellar that maintains an almost constant 10℃ is a blessing.

[@JustMeHere2012]

This looks so much like my country, Bulgaria. Everything looks identical - the yard, the house, the food, the gathering at the table... If it wasn't for the language I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Maybe the only difference would be that here people drink rakia over vodka at least in family gatherings.

Thanks for showing the good people of Ukraine. Pavlo and Luba you represent them well. Merry Christmas from U.S.A. It is snowing here also.

[@thefrugalsnowbird4098]

The mobile vendors back in the day in the USA were called "hucksters". My maternal grandma was from Ukraine so all the food is very familiar. Since my grandparents emigrated to Canada first around 1920 and my mother entered the US as an infant in 1923. Therefore I have no known family in the Ukraine and I consider you and yours my lost relatives.

[@tonys1636]

There are still a lot of mobile grocers, butchers, bakers and fishmongers in the UK, a lifeline to rural communities, more so in this pandemic. Not all people are comfortable with online grocery shopping and many are outside of delivery areas or have a reliable, fast internet connection.

Павло, я с России, ну живу в лос анжелисе. I have lived here in US for 33 years now (migrated w family from USSR in 1988) I love watching your videos! I stumbled across them last week and can’t get enough. I lived in Nakhodka and to see similarities in the villages that your family lives, is how we used to live. My dad had put running water into our home and also a working toilet. This Russian winters are no joke. Also to see the jarred tomatoes are a delight! Люба is so beautiful, you guys make such a handsome and lovely couple. I wish you all the best and С наступавшем с Новым годом!!! Please make vlog of how you celebrate it and explain why New Year is a bigger deal that Christmas is in the Slavic countries. Thank you!!! I appreciate you and the time and effort you make for these video. Целую 💋, Татьяна 🇷🇺

[@thomaspick4123]

So nice to see family time. You eat like royals in a palace. I always like your barbecue chicken. Your lady is so happy to see the first snow fall! But, I enjoyed your swimming at the River last summer, even though mosquitos were present. The ladies are so simple and happy. They enjoy the simple things in life. Saint Nicholas Day, in a Catholic family, we have stockings hung around the fireplace. Inside each stocking, with a child’s name on it, there are many types of treats: dried nuts, the largest being Brazil nuts. Also: tangerines, candy, some German cookies and cakes. For the days before Christmas, we have an Advent Calendar on which we open a cardboard window each day and there is a nice picture inside.

[@pavlofromukraine]

Merry Christmas, Thomas! Thanks for sharing!:)

[@Desire2304]

You have a good celebrating culture! Btw, some families in Ukraine have similar tradition on St. Nicholas Day: on 18th eve they put shoes on a windowsill and then in the morning children & adults look inside to check for presents.

Privyet Pavlo ! Happy Saint Nicholas Day and greetings from Malaysia ! A very informative and good KZbin channel you have. I've been alone to Ukraine (Kiev, Odessa and Dnipro) about four times now from 2010-2017 in winters and summer. Ukraine is wonderful country despite what some people might say on the Donbass conflict, etc. with such a nice and simple lifestyle especially in the villages. It is not glitzy condos or fancy nightclubs that makes life unique but family gatherings and feasting at celebrations. In Malaysia, we only have warm, summer weather all year with no seasons which can be at times boring. Ukraine's four seasons with real snow (not just sleet) is fantastic. I hope to make the next trip again in February 2022 to Kiev, Odessa and Dnipro but also to western Ukraine (Rivne, Lviv, etc.) , Nikolaev (south) and to Kharkov in the east. Merry Xmas, Happy New Year 2022 and happy holidays to Pavlo and all the viewers here !
