Merry Christmas Feli.

[@ravenwolf2448]

Merry Xmas n happy new year Feli. Just watched your family vid ..it was nice. In it you mention waiting for Christ child. Is that ok or a AKA? Just curious I've watch d a XMas doc on Amazon a couple times . About Santa like beging in other countries if memorie service me. Pretty sure it said Germany has two depending where you live a boy (forgot name) and a girl. Kringle. Anyway what iam doing taking in afternoon movie Nosferatu and then going over bros.Simple dinner .small thing. His kids try to share time with there boyfriends families and friends .So it might be just the three of us(I'm alone otherwise).Well he likes to over cook at times when there's a crowd so gonna tell him too look at this vid . He likes the German sausages and some other stuff. One last thing for a share if your travels ever bring you too GA..there's place called Hellen. It's a German town authentic restraint,windmills,shop. Well it was when my bro first came here and I just visited about12yrs ago planning on getting back. So hard to get place when you live in same state. Have a great rest of year Feli..your vids get better as you go for the most part..take care

We don't celebrate Christmas here exept for Christian majority towns and Churchs.

[@emilyminchew6131]

The Christmas carols in German brought tears to my eyes! Very charming!

[@candydeebe2725]

...and from Holland: Frohliche Weinachten! Happy X-Mas! Vrolijke Kerst, und Merry New Year!

[@WienerVL]

For me "Stille Nacht" (Silent Night) was,is and will be forever my favorite christmas song! Merry Christmas to all who read this!

[@jtl-en4yx]

It is so prefect in English and in German! Any time I hear it in German I always think about the Christmas Truce during WWI when the British and German soldiers were both singing it at the same time.

[@lydia4127]

Same here. Every year my church ends the Christmas Eve service by turning off all lights except for those on the Christmas trees and everyone holds a candle and we sing Silent Night. It's so beautiful it always makes me feel like I'm going to tear up😊 Merry Christmas to all!

[@southbirdsouthbird]

@@lydia4127 We did that, as usual, in my Lutheran Church in California tonight. I sang it in German ('Stille Nacht.Weilige Nacht . . .) and heard many others doing the same. Brought tears to my eyes. . . O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, Wie treu sind deinen Blåtter! Grüß Gott, meine lieber Feli! Fröhliche Weihnachten! ❤

[@Sleepingbear2222]

The best Christmases is with children. To see the awe and wonder in their eyes makes the holiday truly memorable. And that viewpoint my friend is internationally felt and cherished.

[@Zireael83]

this! :)

[@sylviaweber4144]

Brought tears to my eyes-this is how we celebrated until my parents passed. Loved hearing all the songs....thanks for sharing.....

[@chadm2781]

Surprised on how well she can sing. The girl has some pipes!

[@pendragon2012]

We've begged her for years to do an all singing video. 🙂

[@mattomite9097]

Thank you Feli for all your wonderful and informative videos. I always look forward to your videos. I’ve learned so much about Germany, Germans, traditions, etc. I love how you show things in a truthful and realistic light. Not just a bunch of fluffy good things type videos. You show differences in our cultures and countries in their entirety. Thank you and Merry Christmas

[@wulfdicke5377]

Fröhliche Weihnachten from LA. Beautiful video. I really love the German Christmas traditions very similar to how my family still celebrates in Berlin and Dresden. Another delicious tradition is the fruit cake Christstollen. Viele Grüße

[@southbirdsouthbird]

Thank you for sharing these personal moments with us. What a beautiful family! You are a You Tube hero!

[@pigoff123]

My mother was German and my father was American. We had both American and German traditions. My mom put candles on the tree and we had electric lights on the tree too. My mom lite the candles on Christmas Eve and we sang German Christmas songs. Then she put them out and plugged the lights in and sang American Christmas songs.😅

[@johnscott8390]

Very cute tree Feli

[@Zireael83]

@@johnscott8390 why are you answering to "Feli" not under the video but under a specific comment? makes no sense

[@nickhydier1201]

Herbei, O Ihr Glaubigen (O Come let us adore Him) is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Along with Stille Nacht.

[@mumblinmae1140]

Frohe Weinachten Feli und Familie! Thanks so much for this wonderful video! My entire family was born in Germany and I’m the only Canadian born member. So much of what you shared brought back fond memories of my childhood. I wish you and Ben and the rest of your family, the most blessed of Christmases and the most joyous of New Year’s! Love from Canada, Irene.

Merry Christmas Feli & Ben. it's almost Midnight (11:12pm) on Christmas Eve here in Western Australia. Cheers from Perth, Australia 🇦🇺

[@gregorygant4242]

Perth ? GTHOH ! It's must be hot over there in Perth . I was born in OZ left in my late teens now living in Southern Europe. I was a Melbourne boy born and bred and at Christmas, New Years time we sometimes had a heat wave like 43-44 degrees Celsius I hated that. Does AFL even still exist over there in OZ now ? I was a huge Australian rules football fan back then. I never saw snow until I went to Europe . Merry Christmas mate !

[@gregorygant4242]

Messi , he plays for Miami now right ? Um, that's quite a downgrade in my opinion from the clubs in Europe no one watches footaball(soccer) that much in the US , they must have paid him a heap of money.

[@bulukacarlos4751]

@@gregorygant4242 Your analysis is correct, but he is already in the physical decline of his career (he continues to do magical things, but less and less) and he deserves a peaceful end in an environment that appreciates him and allows him to be comfortable with his family. Unlike many professional players, he is a calm and family-oriented person. Greetings from Patagonia and Merry Christmas!!

[@keldonmcfarland2969]

We have antique Christmas candles on our tree. We don't light them, we use them only as decorations. But my grandmother when she was a kid did light them some 80 years ago. I love decorating the Christmas tree with my family.

[@christophermatthews6972]

My mother's family had candles on their tree, but didn't light them. Apparently when my mother was young they lit the candles until one year when the tree caught fire and one of her uncles threw it out of the window.

Brought tears to my eyes. I get up in the Amisiedlung in Munich with an American father and Münchner Mutti. Christmas Eve Was always at Oma place downtown. She too lit the tree Christmas Eve with real candles but only long enough for all of us to sing Stille Nacht. We also ate wurst, for us mainly Wienerwurst and also Oma's Kartoffelsalat. Such happy memories! Thank you for sharing yours!

Years ago...when I was in junior high school...on Dec. 21st (my late mother's birthday) our family packed into four different cars (I have four sisters and one brother; at the time there were four nieces and nephews as well) for our annual shopping trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan. While in Bronner's, we came upon a Christmas album sung in German. EVERY ONE of the tunes your family and you sang back in 2023 was in that album and we used to play it judiciously every Christmas season! I STILL remember that it started out with, "Kling Gloetchen." (No umlauts on my phone.)

In 1985 I was stationed in Nuremberg, and that city did Christmas like no other city in the world! What an experience!! It was something I'll never forget!

[@gregorygant4242]

Army base ? Nuremburg has some of the best Christmas traditions there did you know that Sandra Bullock , the actress, grew up there in Nuremberg ? She speaks perfect German.

[@TheYizuman]

My Dad passed earlier this month and this is the hardest Christmas without him. I am however grateful he was blessed to be 100 years old and 6 months before the Lord called him Home.

[@curtthegamer934]

6:26 I haven't heard Kling, Gloeckchen in years. I used to sing that at school (the English version anyway), but nobody had heard of it. I was alone.

[@Ryan_Dye-r]

Always nice to see different ways holidays are calibrated.

[@RealThatDesignerGuy]

As an American with a German grandmother, I get a lot of what you do, but also, your traditions are very different then what my 90 year old grandmother taught me lol. I 'd love to see what a modern German Christmas dinner is. I'm big on krainerwurst, potato salad, Dominostein, Wurst Salad and of course sauerkraut

[@Hoschie-ww7io]

A proper typical German Xmas with true candles and Xmas carols. Missing just the Xmas goose ;) Merry Christmas

[@curtthegamer934]

Nussknacker und Mausekoenig by E.T.A. Hoffmann is one of my favorite Christmas stories. It's the main reason I know about German Christmas traditions like presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas, and presents from Christkind.

[@theancientandreios7417]

Good singer. The food looks great. I like how there are so many presents. Lovely Christmas celebrations.

[@eltronics]

Thank you Feli (and Ben, of course) for this look at your Christmas Eve traditions. Every family has their holiday nuances. It was emotional for me , thinking back on my growing up, my German uncle, when my kids were growing up, and when my wife was here. I'm so glad there are memories like this you can enjoy. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@ck4426]

Really enjoyed this video so much and your family sings so well!!! The singing was amazing!!! Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!

[@tetedur377]

Not German, but I grew up in the Midwest (Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin) where we were surounded by western Europeans and "Scandahoovians," in the vernacular (plus, I'm part Swedish), so even though I haven't sung or even heard these songs in several decades, I started singing them almost as though it was yesterday. We were so steeped in German and Dutch, primarily, that it never really goes away.

[@dpsonnenberg4537]

Thank you for the video. I can't wait for the next show.

[@donmertz2171]

So cool! I remember singing "Stille Nacht" and "Oh, Tannenbaum" auf Deutsch in elementary school in the 1960s. My great grandparents, along with immigrants from five other families came from the same Swabian town, settling where I grew up. Frohe Weihnachten jemand!

My grandma said that Weißwurst had to be eaten before eleven AM. But on Christmas Eve she served Weißwurst herself, however no Bretzels, but potato salad instead. The Weißwurst could be held fresh until the evening in the fridge, but the Brezn would be old and dry by then. Nowadays the are baked fresh over the whole day. So now you can order them a the bakery's shop fresh at two PM shortly before they close and keep them until 6 PM when they still taste good. Merry Christmas, Feli
