As a Brit, i can attest Jess' Birthday traditions are the best and same as us! Pass The Parcel is an absolute classic!!! I cant believe Americans don't do it!!!

@courtneyh1609 5 ай бұрын

We do have a version played at Christmas or any time of the year it doesn’t have a name but is a huge ball of Saran Wrap filled with goodies - toy cars, pens, candy, money and just like Jess described we listen to Christmas music and pass to the person on the left around the circle when music stops you unwrap a layer and get the prize and continue passing it

I’m from the UK and you talking about the chocolate game and pass the parcel made me so happy knowing that Aussies do it as well!!

@lorep1829 6 ай бұрын

As a latina with a Mexican background we also celebrate Christmas Eve and we all wait until midnight to open gifts and the next day we eat leftovers which is the best and just chill at home or at a family members home where Christmas took place for leftovers lol. Also as Catholics wr celebrate the birth of Jesus and set up for it wr have a "nacimiento" and pray the day off and pass out "aguinaldos" candy bags for kids and all that.

We do a similar thing to pass the parcel. You have a gift that’s wrapped together very difficult, many layers, some hard to take off tape etc. sit in a circle, you wear oven mits or snow nuts and try to in-wrap it. Everyone get a turn to roll 2 dice and as soon as you do, it’s your turn to unwrap the package rinse and repeat. Whenever someone rolls doubles they take their turn until someone else rolls doubles. Everyone rolls once then keep going around.

This video really goes to show that you don't have to have the same childhood experiences or culture to get along well together! Jess and Gabe just mesh well together and have the same personalities, despite their different upbringings, cultures and experiences growing up and just get along so well together!

American citizen here and I grew up doing a lot of the same things as Jess! We celebrated Christmas on both Eve and the day with a big meal both days. We played that pass the parcel game at Christmas every year! I forget what we called it but it was the same idea! And we had hot dog stands outside of Home Depot! I grew up in the northeast so maybe it’s just common stuff for that area

We’ve been in FL for forever now but we still continue that tradition 🥰 I 100% agree with Jess with the flag situation.. it ruins the aesthetic and too patriotic lol

Lovely episode! We do pass the parcel in my family but we call it a grab bag! It’s a ball of individually wrapped up small Knick knacks (like those pens you spoke about)and you pass it around and when the music stops and the ball is by you, you unwrap a layer and get a prize! It’s such wholesome childhood fun!!

This is so fun to hear about! I’m from America, we live in the Midwest! I never grew up eating sweet potato casserole and I hadn’t heard of it until adulthood, I prefer my sweet potatoes prepared with savory spices. I also played pass the parcel growing up! It wasn’t a full tradition and I’m not sure if we called it that but I just remember playing it at like youth group parties!

I’ve missed out…ive never heard of watching movies on Christmas night!

I’m an American but I still stand with Jess on combining marshmallow with sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are great on their own and if you want to make it fancy, maybe throw in some pecans and cinnamon.

We grew up eating bread butter with sugar. I’m from the US, but my Christmas matches Jess. We did Christmas Eve with the main family appetizer sandwiches and decorate the tree. Then big meal and family on Christmas Day. And I don’t like marshmallows with sweet potatoes either. But it is so interesting all the different foods people eat at the holidays

As a Mexican- American we celebrate Christmas Eve more than we do Christmas. Sounds bazar but Christmas Eve is the party, dinner, games, and before midnight hits we pray as a family because of baby Jesus birth and then we open presents right after. If I’m in Mexico it’s a whole different story 🫠🕺

Growing up, (I’m 25 now for reference) Home Depot and Lowe’s used to have the hot dog and burger stand right out front!

They used to also have ice cream vending machines right by the exit too those were the good ol days. They should bring this back!

We do have something similar to pass the parcel. I’m not sure what it’s called but we play it during Christmas. You have a Saran Wrap ball full of prizes. You can play where the players have disadvantages like only being able to use one hand or they wear mits. I haven’t played with a timer but the person beside you has dice and your time is up when that player beside you rolls a double on the dice then they get the ball and hand the dice to the next person. It’s a lot of fun
