Sharing Christmas traditions, and what I should try for my first American Christmas

article image placeholderUploaded by @NLOFrank
We love to share these differences with each other, and I want to bring them here and share them with you. So I have two questions. Firstly, number one to the Americans and the people who have visited America. What are the delights? Should I add to my list of things to try during my visit over Christmas? So this could be things from America in general that we don't usually get in the UK or specific American Christmas traditions?

Hi, Tasha. What a lovely question. It just gets me really excited. You know, when someone lists a bunch of celebratory foods, I get so excited even though I don't eat all the foods. And so I'm really excited for you too. That's just awesome. I've never tried Christmas pudding. That would be definitely something cool to try

This is soo awesome! @NLOFrank

But we all got our particular things. So she baked me my own pantyams. And so I feel like candy yams are a thing. And the trick is they shouldn't be, like, excessively sweet, but just the right amount of sweet, like something or something. Candy, like a glaze, but not like you feel like, I don't know. You send yourself into some type of arrest fried so much sugar

American traditions? Humbug! 🇺🇸

Branded plastic merchandise to hang on your tree instead of candy Canes or glass bottles and just watching certain TV shows. That's a tradition that you're going to watch Charlie Brown every year. It is, but it doesn't compare to some of the wonderful traditions I've seen and adopted from Europe. That being said, you didn't say where your partner is from in America because there are a lot of regional traditions within the United States

Hey Jessica, thank you for sharing. I'm loving this post more so than I originally thought I would loving hearing people's, different traditions and ways of celebrating. I'm also vegetarian, so I kind of tend to go for the trimming. So like the vegetables, roast potatoes, which is definitely a tradition for a Christmas dinner in the UK and lashings and lashings of gravy. I love the fact that you've been able to try different things from different family heritage as well

@PKBriggs candied yams going on my list

And so we'd make the mince pies and sausage rolls and kind of like Christmas Eve. Biscuits are like cinnamon spiced and things like that. I have tried pumpkin pie, but I haven't tried sweet potato pie, and that is something that I really would love to try. So that is on my list if I get to try that at some point. And I've heard of candidacyams. That's something that I've heard of

Hey, Tim, thank you so much for your reply, and that is an excellent point. I think that the UK is getting like that as well, where it seems to be more commercial based and kind of a push to have more decorations and more lights and Christmas displays
