to me. visiting a christmas market is a traditional activity for many to a months in december. but there are more ice ice bathing is cool and walks in the forest in winter, everything having to do with cold weather. i like the advent calendar and the time with my family meetings is through old wine and lots of it. and decorating is important enough for christmas tree for sure. your son then uh, i think it's nice to have the admin rates at home is guns and that's investment coming together with family, from all over the world, eating together, celebrating adventure, but also going to church and praying together. it's like it's be it's, it's like having more time at home and making presence there and happy holidays. the busy and of course christmas is more of an indoor than outdoor event. every europe and country celebrates a little differently,

but we'd like to show you what's customary here in germany. after that, we accompanied one german family as they celebrated the holidays. the. this is michelle and move to an average gym and, and we're following him to see how german people do things. it's christmas time in germany and we want to know what the average german christmas looks like, how this machine has celebrate. what does he eat? and who's going to end up fighting? let's find out the unlike the brakes and americans, the germans, the main christmas celebration is on december 24 tires. and although it's not officially a public holiday and the 2020 germans, we're going to what today the like 81 percent of demons mission is at least partly looking for which of christmas and same truth that organize selves almost hoffman. german stopped the christmas shopping in november, or even earlier,

germany gets abroad. i did the question of santa claus. it's definitely not grandpa. it's conventional that a family member dresses up to santa, but in germany, kids. so it just gets that gets the hi, meghan, uh kids have to make it. this is the average german times to spend 507 years and $0.10 on christmas presents. but the most popular gifts being vouchers in money. 41 percentage um and say that sucks and that least favorite is contrary to what you might expect. demons not like thing to admit that that disappointed inc. if for germans christmas eve dinner is a humble affair with a more lavish meal being set the next day on the 25th in old

christian tradition. lynch began on st. martin's day on november 11th, and ended on december 24th. which is why traditionally a simple dish is served on christmas eve, the most popular being potato salad and sausages, the most german se, there's a sense of hominy is important. i have a christmas the only one in 3 german se they can trudy. relax over the festive period. the the, the just an hour later all seems to be forgiven. and that's because half of germans believe that christmas is a festival of love. the and with that we

a unique singing style. that's one of the oldest of its kind in europe. the make. the point to me singing is everything. it's been my passion since i was a boy. i feel it in my heart the sounds may be somewhat unfamiliar with, learn more about dates. origins in the moment. can be sent because you feel it here . when everyone's singing in harmony, the bit moved something here and you're good. because i'm just, i'm it comes from the remote mountain villages of the it, tanya, an island of sardinia. it's known as the con to add to norton, and is set to tank back over 3000 years. is positive daily life in many sardinian towns like all goes at all. for example, musicologist diego pony has been studying sardinian pastoral song for several years

. it's been declared and intangible wealth heritage by you and ask a god. but the is a party fixing, realize it by, for parts of the call you are a factor of these 4 parts. is that, that the tool was the voices, are made that using the overtones in the super monte group breaks down the song for us into its individual voices in the mm hm. so, so much of the cancer all to note a remains a mystery. but there is no doubt that it originated among the shepherds and titles, the islands, traditional occupations. it's passed on by the north on paper. i've always worked in the country around cows. the singing reminds me of cow's moving cabs sound very similar. i tried to imitate that. it was the same sound all the

time. yeah. so i might say this kind of song was inspired by the sounds of animals, but that really hasn't been proven. the condo often already is sung at certain festivals on holidays and occasionally it concepts. but here it's part of daily life. pop goes inside indian villages, often spontaneously breakouts in song about $3500.00 thing is there active in order of san dania. every village has its own styles, the what role does the singing play among this audience themselves? when the boys, when you get together, have some drinks and then hear this. it always gets really quiet and everyone loves

it. yeah. it's our tradition when we carry the singing in our heart part of sardinian identity and all those are those identity in order to to the content belongs to this region. and we're very proud of it. the way the rates were written in the san damien language by son damien power. they deal with love, friendship, religion, war and peace. how will this thing be passed on to the next generation? to the interior goes still young, 20 years old. it really was still a child when he came to us and learned to sing and families were so we all learn the tradition this way. you can't learn it at any school about whose whole life the origins of the account too often already will always be something of a mystery. but it's an integral parts of son, damien identity that lives on to the present day. time now to head to one of the most beautiful winter paradises in europe. the swiss resort. aside for it,

it lies at an altitude of over 1800 meters and the surround it by stunning panorama . the . i'm almost there. all that's left is this mountain past. this time i'm going to be pretty high up in the, in the it's a valley and the swiss alps and it's my very 1st time my destination to saint margaret's. a place that stands for winter tourism like no other saint mar. it's used to be a simple farming village, but today you see massive hotels and shop windows with luxury items. the tour guide is only the place to go explained to me that winter tourism was the result of a bed between the hotel owner, 200 spotwood and a group of 4 summer travelers from england. then they made a bit in the field. he said, come to save more rich in the winter,

and if you don't like it, i'll pay for your trip from london to saint moritz and back. and if you like it, you can stay at my hotel for free as long as you'd like, died. needless to say, he won the bed and as a result, st mertz became a popular trouble destination in winter time to the international competitions. take place in this with mountain town regularly. even the saint. margaret's lake is used in winter for a rather unusual events, a pool or tournament. slip out in december, we need about a week of minus 30 degree temperatures every night. ideally without any window and then it freezes over and actually it will be covered in about half meter to one meter of snow. do you have what it is? the name of the sky area in your st more it's we're going to an altitude of almost

3000 meters. and because i don't have a lot of experience leno's my ski instructor should help me on the slopes. the. i want to take it slow it 1st, the yes. okay, perfect. perfect. where's the applause leaders? but when it gets a little steeper, i have to put in a lot of effort. and i'm glad when i make it down safely. to me as a beginner fear and sun is pretty close to each other, but this is what makes it challenging. anyway, i will be the king of the as of today, this is santiago. originally from the going on, the bus has lift and work in st. moore, it's for many years as

a ski instructor and mountain bike guide. i go on a tour with him, followed by phone to business. what's special about the i can get in for you personally, i'm not a nature the best of the gas. strong to me is great. so the ambience, i'm coming to and get in as like entering another world. under that the highlight of the tour is cycling through the dark. and of course, the rewards that awaits us the phone do is calling abrupt, put a few pieces of bread on your plate and philip stab one with your fork. yeah, i've just done good. so the

ready for the next one? the solution. if you lose your bread, you have to do the washing up so if you really want to get moving in winter, the anchor dean is the perfect travel destination for you. but there's not only when to sports action here, that's also something that's increasingly difficult to find to date and remote. but i see an extra window of days in your or get chilly. there's nothing better than a delicious. gould are soup to warm you up. we have now too hungry from where it originated to see how they make this famous signature dish. the

wash is a very simple dish. you want to pay the meat and you want to taste the pump. rico the good quality, top quality fuck because which is not easy to get your hands on even in hungry the you have to follow the shows just looking for a few hours and give that out as well. the every 2nd week, me me and said with us before, that's why i say like, as well the time i name of the saw sound. so i'm from hungry. i'm the x, it could be sharefile's, probably gonna be the best. and one of the most popular, i've seen each of these come over menu,

this the traditional hungry and who do i. so the, the best thing that out for a 100 and without hoops, we gotta get laser and the markets so we can find the way nice to meet the needs and the probably deposit as well, the progress. so fee was the semester, but as well. so that is the favorite regarding much more each. so i sure that's the basic group vegetables available all the time. and the additional some garlic is very important and we're going to buy somebody showing them as well. that's going to be the base of this to to we're going to use the beef cheek. this is one of the most send the parts of me, the me. so after this part of the muscle, the call we use the most. the that's why is a, is to the more much more than the drilling

. i've got the nice the actually cubes and the cool things together with the, with them based on the sweat. so it takes half an hour. every one, i mean let it be just simple tories from which every part of the read or let me be a 3 me sure. last time chef up from the same as a kitchen. everyone who comes to hungry wants to face the perfect glass. hello. i'm still feeling out there hungry and full dresser, basically, and pulled up the edge. and i believe that perfect glass is really the best step into the ritual for giving the terminal it to me of the glass is a complicated issue. because i think people normally,

international people are expecting to get us to bend the order and selection of the restaurant, but even hungry if you're eating good. well, actually if you order it from a restaurant menu, you would probably get a soup and less group which is more likely to reach the majority of the people who would expect to when they or the electric co. i've an angry increasing. this could put, could the subject case, then other complex issue. it's obviously the signature spice of hanging in. ok. if you have 1st look on the public eye, you can immediately say a lot about the quality. it should be very intense through the clean face. the, the secret tape of all of the hanging in grandmother's. he was probably not. we didn't

ever recipe. and the secret is when you add the public, um have to take the pen off of the heat. and for the top we get on the, on the is separately because it gets very easily bitter and it burns very easily. so that's why you have this excess then the, the base. so for me, because of why i couldn't tell, know, after 2 hours the meat is nice and cold and we cannot some roots best of us. so they mixed together with the meat heroes the bit we have to add the assembled up the so well, that's what these are, the all the elements are cool. i like to do that too because this is a inside of some already due to favors. so maybe that's why uh, the most of the finances of it really liked the,
