Five Things We Miss About Christmas in England || Schaefer Family Christmas Message 

Where I live, we are also forming a tradition of re-recognising Twelfth Night, where we get together for a meal, sing The Twelve Days, mix in some French traditions and so on. This is because we are part of a Twinning Association with a similar French community in France, where we take it in turns each year to meet in each other's country for a weekend. Some really good friendships have been made.

seeing as you seem to like it in the UK do, please, come back.

Hiya. We only miss one thing at Christmas-time in England - The Schaefer Family. Merry Christmas and in 2022 may we all be happy, healthy and prosperous once again. Stay safe. All the best to you.

Christmasday, Boxingday and New Year'sday are all bank holidays and it's so common to take off the time between Christmas and New Year that many businesses shut down.

Mulled Wine. Bottles of a full bodied red, Merlot is good. Port, Orange Juice, lemonade, sliced oranges and apples. Nutmeg, Cloves, Cinnamon sticks and sugar. Some use star anise as well. We have "teabags" over here of Mulled wine spices, which would be one per bottle of wine. I do mine in a preserving pan. 4 bottles of wine, half a bottle of port, top the pan up with orange juice and lemonade. add spices, fruit and mulled wine bags. warm on a low heat, do not boil, takes about an hour to get to temperature. Re tasting bitter, just keep adding sugar or orange juice until it is not :) . Reduce amounts to brew less, I just always do a lot!!!! Good luck with your next batch!

Things we miss in the UK.....the Schaffer Family! Hope you get a chance to return as we miss your vlogs on living here, they were fun and informative. Happy new year and all stay safe

My Turkish friends love mulled wine in N Cyprus; they love it here so much they were still selling it in February

No thanksgiving in the the UK. Christmas is all!

I'm glad you went to York; an absolutely magnificent historical city, so quintessentially English. I'm English and even I'm bowled over by how English it is!

Enjoy

It's not the crackers, per se, but definitely the jokes inside!

A very Merry Christmas. Hope you find a way to come back to England - we miss you.

Greetings from England. Christmas day, Boxing day and new years day are bank Holidays in England. Paid days, mandated by law.

I seems that in Victoria n days, presents were put back in their boxes hence "Boxing Day".

Merry Christmas from England. I love all the things we have for our British Christmas it makes it special. If you ever come back you have to try mince pies and cream or Christmas pudding with cream it's lovely. Especially when laced with brandy. Mulled wine from my understanding can't just be made from any wine it has to be a certain type of grape that blends with the Christmas spices to taste good

I love it also myself I’m Fabian from the Cotswolds

Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏻🌲☃️

Merry Christmas guys 🤗

This year, because Christmas day and Boxing day are at the weekend Monday and Tuesday has also be given as statutory holiday this year. Some people may work those days especially retail but can have the days at a later date. Most shops are closed on Christmas day.

Boxing Day is for long walks in the countryside.

Notice you didn't mention Christmas pudding, i don't blame you, not even Brandy sauce can save that beast.

Happy Xmas but a bit early 🤔 no?

Hi,..I am a new subscriber.....I am a person who can't tolerate cold or less humid places, so I like more humid countries......so..which one is more good for me?......UK or US ?......can u pls tell

Hi...in UK or any European countries climate can be humid ?

Hey guys, Glad you came to visit England, & I pray you were treated well with pleasant memories to carry with you. Isn't England, the mother, with God the Father, that gave birth to America? Or do you call it New England? Not a massive fan of mince pies but with a warm muld wind aka hot spicy liquid refreshment can always perk you up. Like a pile of fluffy pancakes and bacon drizzled with maple syrup for breakfast with an orange juice. English, American, or Japanese with jalapenos, I say all human in need of Jesus and grace. Maybe you could do a church out reach serve up some English dishes you discovered to our American brothers and sisters could be cool. Not sure if we could do the same over here, sure can try but I think the portions would be twice the size. Lol. Mary CHRISTmas to you and your direct family and to us as a whole. Just uploaded a new video to say happy birthday to Jesus please feel free to like and subscribe or share. And look forward to seeing you guys soon. I'm pretty sure marshmallows around a campfire with chocolate dip and a guitar tastes pretty good whichever the geographical location. With blended accents is always a bonus. I personally like the American accent, yeehah! 😋 With love God bless Jesus is Alive!!! ✝️💕🏃🌎💨

If you are interested I can give you a recipe for making mincemeat so that you can make your own mince pies. It is the recipe that I grew up with. Best wishes
