  1. oh dang i just realized what my family’s yule log tradition is. my aunt makes me a “pumpkin roll” each year. is a delicious pastry item of pumpkin bread rolled up with a layer sweet cream cheese. It looks like a log!!! very similar to your yule log cake!

  3. ummmmmm why does the unhappy yule log servant look like hitler?😂 that was hilarious. i mean i could care less either way as it is just your model for demonstration. But it wassss funny to me when i noticed. and it appears i am the only one in comments who caught the joke unless i just made it up.

  4. 13:49; father Christmas/Saint Nicholas… well i also learned one year that Saint Nicholas was like a real German saint or something and he took care of poor people in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior and then over the centuries it morphed into the father Christmas/Santa Claus thing. Saint Nicholas… Santa Nicklaus in the German… Klaus…. Santa Claus

  6. that is so cool! however I am curious about the spires. Like, being a whole building, theoretically dedicated to Jesus Christ and the religion of Christianity… why would historians automatically assume the spires are representative of human archbishops? Would not a plausibility be that, the three spires are representative of the Holy Trinity? Like the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit? Or… the crosses? With the taller spire being representative of Christ on the Cross? I mean I have not tried to research further yet… but it just seemed interesting that our narrator and host who worked there only related the one theory about the ancient archbishop. Anyways also, I am certainly not saying he is wrong! He of course will know much better. Just that it seems to me, that, a “Christian” structure, with three tall spires, pointing to heaven, and the whole thing about sets of three in the Bible and Christianity and the Holy Trinity… and stuff like that…

  7. i looked up the history of wassail a few years ago and it was huge news to me that it is actually an alcholic drink😂 my mom makes it every year but she’s massive teetotaller and so the wassail version she makes is like a warm delicious sort of like apple cinnamon tea sort of thing. Still very warming and delicious! but then the history thing is like it had something called mulled wine in it.

  8. 7:51; speaking of preparing really large birds like swan, lol, here in Texas I just went on my first Sandhill Crane hunt the week before Christmas and it was sooo much fun! i hear wingshooting has a good tradition in UK also. Anyways sandhills are huge! you get 16oz breast filets out them, and cook them like steak. To American hunters, they are nicknamed, “ribeye of the sky”. And now I can officially confirm it is true!
