I love the German Christmas traditions, but some of them are a little weird.

Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad.

In the past I've made a several Christmas videos, including but not limited to German

versus American Christmas traditions, a video about Advent calendars and Advent wreaths

in Germany, Christmas dinner in Germany versus the USA, trying German Christmas snacks, and

even a video in which I read you a poem.

And I have put all those videos and more into a Christmas and New Year's playlist, which

I will link down in the description box below.

But now, some of the German Christmas traditions that I've experienced that are, in my opinion,

are a little bit weird.

First up: Krampus because, well, this one's a pretty easy target.

From what I learned, Krampus is the evil sidekick of St. Nicholas

in some parts of the German-speaking world.

So not in all parts of Germany, but here in Munich at least there is the Krampus Run in

December, where hundreds of...

Krampuses? Krampi? Krampuses? Krampuses.

During which hundreds of Krampuses parade through the city.

Now, Krampus can take many different forms, all of them terrifying, and while St. Nicholas

brings gifts for the good little kids, Krampus is the punisher of the bad boys and girls,

and even carries around a whip or this whip-like stick ready to use.

Now as an adult, I personally loved the Krampus Run.

I had so much fun there, but still it just, it seems a little weird that St. Nicholas

has this evil companion running around with a whip.

For more information on where Krampus came from and video footage of the demon sidekick,

you can check out my video from the Krampus parade in Munich a few years ago.

Next up we have the Christkind pageant in Nuremberg.

Now, as far as I've understood it, Christkind literally means "Christ Child," and in many

parts of Germany this then equates to the baby Jesus.

But in Nuremberg the Christkind is actually a teenage girl, and every two years there

is this kind of competition to choose the new Christkind.

Which, having a competition to choose the new Christkind already seems a little bit strange,

but then I found out that there are also height regulations for the Christkind.

So to even qualify to compete, the girls must be at least 160 centimeters.

Which makes this sound to me more in the direction of a beauty pageant.

Is this a Christkind beauty pageant?

I just don't understand why is there are height qualifications for choosing the next Christkind.

So yeah, this tradition just seems a little strange to me.

If anyone can explain it better I would love to hear down in the comments what this Christkind

pageant is all about. Thank you.

Now this next one is a Christmas tradition that is a little weird, but I love it.

I love it so, so much.

And that is putting your clean shoes or boots outside on the night of December 5th so that

Nikolaus can come during the night and fill them with little treats like oranges, walnuts,

small chocolates.

I think this one is weird because it always feels a little strange to eat chocolate that

has been in my shoe.

Like, no matter how much I clean the shoe, it's still a weird place to put food.

But I love this tradition because it's also just so cute to open up the door the next

morning and find my shoes filled with treats.

And yes, Nikolaus has come to our apartment many years, Mr. German Man always makes sure

that he knows to come here too. Thank you, Stefan.

Another strange Christmas tradition that I've taken part in several times here in Germany

is called Schrotteln.

Now, Mr. German Man tells me that this tradition can also be called Wichteln, but it's never

been called that any of the times that I've taken part in it, so I'm sticking with Schrotteln

for this video.

Now, Schrott means scrap, so Schrotteln is basically where you gift your friends your

old scrap, the stuff you don't want anymore.

You dig around in your home and find something that you don't want anymore.

You wrap it up, usually in old newspaper, and then get together with your friends and

play a little game where you have to pass around the "gifts" until everyone ends

up with something crappy from someone else.

It is totally fun, and a really great way to enjoy spending time with your friends without

having to go out and buy something new, spend money, so I really love this tradition too,

but still when you explain it out, like that you give your friends the crappiest stuff

that you can find in your apartment that you don't want anymore, it definitely sounds a

little weird.

And then during Christmas it is also a tradition in Germany to watch the movie "Drei Haselnüsse

für Aschenbrödel," which is literally in English "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella,"

but is also known in English as "Three Wishes for Cinderella."

And this movie was filmed in 1973 in both Germany and the Czech Republic, and the movie

was filmed with both German and Czech actors and when they first shot the film, the Czech

actors spoke Czech and the German actors spoke German, so the original footage of this movie

is in both Czech and German all mixed up together.

And then for the final Czech film, they dubbed the German parts into Czech, and for the final German

film, they dubbed the Czech parts that they had into German.

Which I think is an amazing, such an interesting way to go about making the movie.

But it was still a little weird for me when I first found out that watching this now over

40 years old Cinderella movie that has apparently nothing to do with Christmas is a

Christmas tradition in Germany.

And then lastly we have a weird German Christmas tradition that isn't.

So in America somehow, at some point in time, somewhere the rumor got started that it is

a German Christmas tradition to hide a pickle, real or as an ornament I'm not really sure,

in the Christmas tree and the first child to find it gets a prize.

But I have yet to find anyone in Germany who does this or who has ever heard of this tradition.

So this is a weird German tradition that isn't.

However, if anyone out there does this tradition in America or Germany or anywhere in the world,

I would love to know, so please let me know down in the comments.

So my question for you is: what is your take on these Christmas traditions and what other

interesting holiday traditions do you know of around the world?

Trump's lawyer Say I wrote the president's 'sloppy' tweet about Flynn's dismissal - Trump

News

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer John Dowd drafted the president's Saturday morning

tweet that stated he fired former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying not

only to Vice President Mike Pence but also to the FBI, Dowd told ABC News Saturday.

"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI," Trump

tweeted at 9:14 a.m. on Saturday.

"He has pled guilty to those lies.

It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful.

There was nothing to hide!"

The apparent admission by the president -- that he knew Flynn had lied to the FBI at the time

of his firing -- seems to add a potentially explosive new dimension to the ongoing special

counsel investigation.

If true, why then would Trump ask the FBI director to go easy on Flynn, as former FBI

Director James Comey later testified?

The message set off renewed talk of potential evidence of obstruction of justice.

But now Dowd, corroborated by a second source familiar with the matter, said the tweet was

not drafted by the president himself but rather by the lawyer -- and done so in a "sloppy"

manner.

The White House, which has insisted that tweets from the president should be taken as official

statements, has declined to comment.

How to Remove Tonsil Stones at Home And Easy Way - V 4 YOU - Duration: 5:05.

How to Remove Tonsil Stones at Home And Easy Way

Tonsil stones, conjointly referred to as tonsilloliths, are small, off-white deposits that you just

will see within the craters of your tonsils. they're sometimes caused once bits of food

get lodged in these craters; microorganism begin feeding on them, digesting them till

they become the funky ooze we all know and hate. lymphatic tissue|faucial tonsil|tonsilla|lymphatic

tissue|lymphoid tissue} stones aren't uncommon for folks with deep tonsil craters. though

they're frequently dislodged throughout coughing and uptake, and medical or home intervention

is commonly inessential, there square measure many ways for removing these deposits and

forestall their return.

0 Removing Stones with Cotton Swab

1 Assemble your materials. Get together the

cotton swabs and other necessary components: Cotton swabs

Toothbrush A mirror

Flashlight, flashlight app, or lamp that you can direct.

Running water.

2 Shine a light down your throat.

Open your mouth and shine the sunshine into your mouth. do that before of a mirror in

order that you'll be able to find the faucial tonsil stones.

3 Flex your tonsils.

Close off, or flex, your throat muscles whereas protruding your tongue. Go "Ahh," and tighten

the muscles within the back of your throat. try this whereas holding your breath, nearly

as if you were gargling water. this could push your tonsils forward therefore you'll

be able to see them higher.

4 Prepare the cotton swab.

Run water and dab the cotton swab into it. this can build it softer and fewer irritating

for your throat. do not place it down, otherwise you risk contamination. Minimize the contact

your cotton swab makes with any germ-carrying surface, together with your hands. once you

take away the stones, shake them off into the sink while not touching your swab to any

surface, or wipe them on a clean towel. If you bit one thing just like the sink or

counter together with your swab, trade it for a replacement one.

5 Poke at the stones gently with your cotton

swab. Press or poke at your stone until you dislodge

it. Carry it out of your mouth on the cotton swab.

Be very gentle, as bleeding may occur. Although a little bit of bleeding is normal, try as

much as you can to minimize the bleeding. Cuts and wounds can get infected by the same

bacteria in your mouth that cause tonsil stones. Rinse if bleeding occurs, and brush your teeth

and tongue as soon as it stops.

6 Rinse with water and repeat.

Rinse with water and progress to consecutive stone. Rinse particularly if your spittle

feel sticky, that generally happens when the throat has been poked. As sticky spittle starts

forming, drink water to skinny it out.

7 Check for any hidden stones. After you have

extracted all the stones you can see, place your thumb into your neck under your jaw,

and your (clean) index finger into your mouth right beside your tonsil and gently try to

squeeze any remaining stones to the openings (like squeezing out toothpaste). If no stones

appear, don't assume they aren't there. Some craters are very deep and it is sometimes

hard to get them all.

8 Remove stubborn stones carefully.

If you have got a stone that will not start off with a cotton swab, it should be particularly

deep. do not force it, as this could cause haemorrhage. Use the rear of your toothbrush

to carefully nudge it till it loosens, then take away it with the swab or with the toothbrush.

If the stones still will not start off, you'll be able to attempt gargling with gargle for

some days and so making an attempt once more. If that does not work, you will wish to undertake

victimisation associate oral irrigator. If this does not work, you'll be able to increase

the stream somewhat. Keep in mind that some individuals have a

robust pharyngeal reflex and can not tolerate poke.
