if you thought that santa claus or good old think neck were the only ones who deliver present that christmas time, then you better think again. we'll find out whose job it is around europe in today's show. hello and welcome to another edition of your max with me, your host, megan lee, air, the look at what else is coming up? how italian newbert became famous all over the world. and a behind the scenes look at the production of champagne. the king of sparkling wine when i was a kid, this was the most exciting time of the year because i would wake up on christmas day and rush in to see what santa had brought for me. well, here in germany, there are different characters assigned to deliver presents to kids during the holidays. now it all depends on where you live and as we're about to find out,

it's not always santa and his team of helpers who bring in the gifts. oh, the joys up christmas time euro max reporter, holly rollinson is in the christmas spirit. she can't wait to get her presence. when i 1st moved from the united states to germany, i was surprised to hear that it's not just santa claus who brings the gifts at christmas. it's also something called the christian and in the rest of europe, sometimes there's a witch, or trolls or other little creature got it. i bring the children christmas gifts on the 24th of december of christmas eve. me too, i put them under the christmas tree. so do i well, it's a bit complicated in the north and east of germany. santa claus brings the presence in south and west germany. it's usually the christian

they both bring presents to the children on december 24th. and they both agree that the presence belong under the christmas tree. okay, so why are there 2 of you then? we need to go back to the birth of christ and the 3 wise men who started the whole business of gift giving. later it was saint nicholas who brought gifts on december 6th with his red cloak, the historical bishop saint nicholas is said to have inspired santa clauses, red outfit. but then came martin luther, who brought about the division of the church into catholics and protestants. he also invented the cris kent, who then came on december 24th for protestants. saint, like nicholas were no longer in demand, but for catholics they were still important. but since saint nicholas was increasingly turning into a commercial santa claus and even nonbelievers started believing in him, the catholics adopted the crist kent, which looks like an angel complete with wings and to top it off

a halo. but now it was high time for the protestants to distance themselves from the catholics again. so they again believed. and santa claus got it. okay, so 1st they nicholas brought the gifts, but after the reformation, the protestants no longer wanted to be associated with the catholic st. but on the other hand, the catholics didn't like the santa class, was for everyone. and in the end decided to take the chris can, which is actually from the protestant originally. okay. got it. most families can settle on santa claus. but the tradition of celebrating christmas with your family only came about at the start of the 19th century. to day santa claus is known almost everywhere. he's called pear, noel in france. bobo, natalie in italy. papa noel in spain sent to class in the netherlands. and so on in finland, he's known as your local key. rumor has it that santa lives here to visit him. you

have to head for lap length and the arctic circle. oh, as you can see, i bring all the children in the world, christmas gift, except to have to be careful in italy because there's a witch. ah, oh, in italy, a which called the fauna is known to bring joy to children. because here it's the witch that comes bearing gifts, but on january 6th, not on december 24th. ah, according to the legend the which the fauna actually wanted to go with the 3 wise men to visit the baby jesus. but when he wasn't able to go it, she instead decided to bring all the little children gifts and january thick in the spanish region of catalonia, a law called to yonah about brings the presence complete with a hat covered by a blanket to you. not all is bed by the families during the advent season. on

christmas eve, he is then beaten with a stick to release the presence with other creatures, rome europe's far north. in iceland, 13 trains leave their home in the mountains to visit people. each of these so called you las vein us has a different character every day, from december, 12 onward, one of them joined the others until they are complete by christmas eve, when they bring presence one by one, they leave again until they have all returned to the mountains by january 6. ah, so as you can see, the gift giving situation. europe is complicated, but it's also really funny and interesting. but you know what as long as someone's bringing the gift, i'm happy so merry christmas and have

a great holidays. ah, ah ah. while the holidays are, of course, a time for feasting, especially on suites and nuts and tasty way to combine the 2 is with new goods, which varies from country to country. for example, in france, new bit is white and chewy. made with amens, but in italy nuke, it consists of hazel nuts and cocoa beans, giving it a chocolate. the texture. we had now to the piedmont region where hazelnut grow in abundance. and we find out how this delicious treat is best. enjoyed hazel nuts and cocoa beans combine. to make a succulent sweet and chewy confection. nugget.

but even more so through my family, i mean i'm from this region and had been interested in it since i was a child to rich. louie georgia, the region of champ anya was the 1st to obtain a controlled designation of origin certification in the 19th, thirty's, or tory. you can make sparkling wine from any variety but to be called champagne. it has to come from this soil and boast of the quality of our lines and grapes it i'd have on the when harvesting the grapes, we pick them by hand and bring them to the wine press la. that's where the champagne production process start is probably guess who shall buy this of the. we're standing at a wine price i my father had built in 1967. it's a traditional line press. the one challenging thing is that you need to have strong men to fill it. we have 4000 kilograms of grapes in it at the moment, but price,

the great then love a jew said to the, then we add some yeast, and sugar. then we let the wine rest for 2 to 3 months of that gives us a base wind like this one ivan bascom, to see if you see the d, it's hard to pinpoint a single inventor of champagne dope it in your power, yours and wasn't in ologist who was extremely good at working with while i get it. and he perfected the art of awesome blash. so that refers to the blending of bass winds from different vineyards and grapes building to create a cafe with a balanced taste. it only let me go when we feel the bottles to create the foam. for this purpose we take a bit of yeast and t raj. the cour t hodge. decor is just a base wine into which we've dissolved beach sugar. i'll get on the face a full, the mixture is sealed in the bottle and we'd take it down to the seller and lay it on board. they all cather, they wanted to let a thing in the easy bacteria then eat the sugar we've added to the t hodge mckuire,

creating carbon dioxide and alcohol. again on brooklyn, new sarah about 25 meters below ground. we're standing by walls of solid limestone . that's a yeast the 8th to sugar producing carbon dioxide. we store the bottles for 2 to 3 years of the, you know, do at was all he wants the bottles had aged enough. we put them on these racks and turn them one by one. let me let the day so, so it takes about 6 weeks. you keep turning the bottles until they reach the final position. you see here you react or not. okay, so he knows what a press, they're almost vertical. i don't after the turning process, we stand bottles upright like here this way, the yeast in the bottles, neck barely comes into contact with the wine and doesn't impact the aging process. sort of east. it's the traditional method, but it's hardly ever used anymore. you can store the bottles for 1015 or 20 years if you want gas. it's no problem. and when you open a bottle,

you'll never be disappointed. he only jamie dish visual of the lowest. if a my name's stefan rossi long. no, i've been working at les avi say hotel restaurants in champ, anya, in the heart of the coast of long for 10 years. now. though i cook using champagne, please, and i'm a great connoisseur of the bubbling until the booth all new to the shoe and open a bottle of champagne. very cautiously then we removed the music lay po. then we grasped the cork with one hand and turn it carefully without making an explosion, therefore, a loud bang. it should only fizzle full. we cautiously let out the biz, anne voliswan lawyers, eager mo, who are not the most important of all. is that whatever you drink make you happy? why don't listen if a neighbor or a somalia starts telling you all about a fantastic wine or a roma? this is about what you enjoy your personal taste and about every person responds differently. and that's very important. ah,

this past year saw a number of new cultural institutions sprouting up all over europe, even if many of them were still facing restrictions. because of the corona virus pandemic, from france to the netherlands to norway, we take a look now at some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the name of art. this 56 meter tall tower in the french city of arl is the work of canadian american architect, frank gehry, and part of the new luma aro cultural complex, initiated by swiss billionaire and art collector. maya hoffman, the post kinda tower surpasses. my expectations, me, i think it harmonizes well with the surroundings. i should post game that i mom genesee's. and frank, larry is perfect for this project because he has this is all and creativity of in ardo se 8 our senior blackheads leafy craft elder enough to use the tower combines

architectural brilliance with artistic berm. the entrance hall, for instance, contains a spiraling 32 meter long metal slide. contemporary artworks are on display in the exhibition rooms, some from maya hoffman's private collection luma. arl is one of europe's largest private art projects. with this unique project, hoffman wants to break new ground and create a very special place for visitors, artists, and scientists who can work together creatively. another shining new work towers, some 40 meters above the dutch city of rotterdam. the new art storage facility at the boy. mm. and spawn born again, museum is the 1st in the world opened to the public and displays the museums entire collection. one challenge was to design a building where no one would get lost in the sheer quantity of art. the building is very simple to start with and behave so almost like a, like a, like

a prison, like a place where you can overview everything. and that, that helps to where to find your way through it. the space contains 151000 pieces from 7 centuries and rooms with 5 different climate zones. the entire collection has come together over 170 years to see how the ard works are sleeping in a way an i here between o m. o pieces of art is equal because we treat, for example, arter tower of babel from but i whole, we treated exactly the same as a small glass face. any visitors to the storage facility are free to explore the sprawling collection. but they also get an up close look at the work going on behind the scenes. for instance, restoration work. how visitors, bureau, the collection is up to them. without curation, there are no set themes or juxtapositions. a matisse can be found next to upcoming

budding artists. it's a unique space that literally reflects it's home in rotterdam. over to norway now where maslow's new monk museum is the world's largest devoted to one single artist. it houses some 27000 objects that edward monk leapt to the city after his death in 1944. these include paintings, sculptures, drawings and sketches. an entire monkey cosmos can be experienced on 7 of the 13 floors of this vertical museum. it was that the colosseum, it's lsi mill. the vertical museum gives us the opportunity to connect edward monk's art to the city as will how him avoid all so visitors heading up here in the building to view the collection always remain in touch with the outside world. lobby that in and it suits them also on the artworks are displayed in windowless

rooms to protect them from the sunlight. among them is a version of edward monk's most famous work. the scream, the new museum was built as part of aust, lowe's new fjord city water, front urban renewal project, a hot spot for art and culture, some 78 years after his death monks best collection has finally found a permanent home under one giant roof. and the danish city of on se, is also honoring it's most famous son, hans christian andersen with a new museum, both above and below ground. hans christian andersen, sperry tales, themes and characters such as the nightingale, the princess and the p. and the little match girl are still popular with readers, young and old. all over the world. the new museum designed by japanese architects, kanga coma and associates,

is located an unsafe historical old town near this yellow corner house, where hans christian andersen was born in 18 o 5. the main idea is that we wanted to create a museum that, that was more in tune with the way anderson told her stores. so we work from what is the values in his universe? what is his literary strategies? how does he actually tell the stars and how can we transform that from being literature into being, being a spatial experience? the result is a new complex covering an area of 5600 square meters dedicated to the world of hans christian anderson's imagination. and we're that we wrap up the show and because a lot of us will be celebrating christmas right now, we have some presents for you to find out how to receive them by going to our website for this week's viewers draw. and as always, don't forget, follow us on social media now for me and the entire crew here at euro mags,
