this ad gives me chills now..i remember seeing it when i was little and believed in santa claus

[XButterCookieX]

They used this one in the UK for the past two years, but cut the ending, so it ends where he just gets to the trucks, i prefer this one, a nice ending :)

[StarlingKnight]

@XButterCookieX;

In finnish TV it ended where the bottle materializes in his hands and he's smiling. The end flash with cheering cartoon Santa was cut out.

@StarlingKnight Wow, I wish they had done that on Dutch tv. I hate the American Santa Claus, I'm a fan of the original on which he was based, Saint Nicholas.

[StarlingKnight]

European Santa is awesome! He doesn't live in North Pole (how can anyone live in place where there's just flat plain ice? Even if he's 1000 years old fairytale character :PP) and don't need flying supermagical reindeers to reach kids in 24th eve <3

[oonai5000]

@StarlingKnight You bet he's awesome! According to Dutch tradition he just needs a normal white horse and he lives in Spain. Seems pretty smart to me!

[StarlingKnight]

In Latin American tradition there is no Santa.

Three Wise Men comes around 5th of January and bring presents and candy to kids, like they brought gold, mirram and spices to Baby Jesus two millennia ago :)

It's funny that both, russian and spanish/latin countries celebrate Christmas after New Year but with different reasons.

[oonai5000]

@StarlingKnight Yeah, I know, they also have that tradition in Spain, I believe. Catholics in Holland also celebrate Epiphany on Januray 6th, but not the way they do. I like it, people shouldn't give in to the American commercial Santa Claus, they should cherish their own precious traditions!

This 3 Wise Men tradition is originally from Spain and immigrants have brought it into all nowadays spanish talking countries in Mid- and South America.

I didn't know what epiphany is in english, in my language it's "loppiainen". Now I know it's called epiphany :)

The authentical Christmas/Yule/Midwinter Festival traditions are interesting. Too bad kids these days know only the HO HO HOing chub CocaCola Santa in many countries...

[oonai5000]

@StarlingKnight "I didn't know what epiphany is in english, in my language it's "loppiainen". Now I know it's called epiphany :)"

Then we both learned something new! :)

[StarlingKnight]

@oonai5000;

Next I need to study name of the gifts Wise Men brought to Jesus! :) I know them only in my language... hrrr

[oonai5000]

@StarlingKnight According to the Bible that would be "gold, frankincense and myrrh" (in Dutch "goud, wierook, mirre"). I know the word incense, but I've never heard of FRANKincense. Apparently it's incense made from resin from the Bowellia tree.

@oonai5000;

Merry Epiphany all you spanish speaking latin europe/america folk, yay! \o/

[oonai5000]

@StarlingKnight I'm not Spanish, but I'm still going to eat a Three Kings bread (with the almond or bean inside) and bacon pancakes with syrup! Merry Epiphany!;)

[StarlingKnight]

@oonai5000;

Heh, we have this traditional sweet bun with almond paste filling that is tied to the Shrove Tuesday before the great Lent starts in February :)

Maybe 3 Wise Men bread is sour baking, not sweet but the filling is rather close.

[oonai5000]

@StarlingKnight See, I love to hear about other countries' traditions. I don't really celebrate Shrove Tuesday (although I do take part in Carnival), but apparently the traditional food is pancakes and waffles. Yummy!

The Three Kings (or Three Wise Men if you're not Catholic) bread is a sweet bread. You can also add almond paste to the dough, but that's rather heavy, so I prefer it without.

Waay! My fave one. took me a while to find.

This advert WAS my childhood.

[SnorkyO]

Same

[badbackz]

[JulesFBride]

Hey, ich liebe diese Werbung auch und habe das Jahr fast nicht ertragen, als dieses eine Lied von Sarah in der Werbung zu hören war...

Allerdings heißt es nicht "Holidays are coming" sondern "HOLY DAYS ARE COMING" denn es kommen mit Weihnachten zwar auch die Ferien, aber es kommen vor allem die HEILIGEN TAGE :-)
