York at Christmas is spectacular, almost as whimsical and wonderful (but not quite) as Christmas in Germany. I love the buildings, the architecture and the pedestrian-friendly cobbled streets. It is like travelling back in time to the days before ugly inflatable lawn ornaments and Las Vegas style lights. LOL!

My husband and I got so excited Kirsten and Joerg when we saw the pickle ornament!! We have one on our tree.. as do our other family members! Your research on its origin is well done, Kirsten! It originated in Berrien Springs, Michigan in 1840’s where they had a pickle festival and German American glass blowers made them along with other fruits and veggies! Woolworth’s started selling them and hence the tradition grew! We are delighted you added a pickle to your collection! Your hotel was lovely, and York is definitely a busy town.. York Minster stunning.. all the local details you add like the tree festival 🎄🎄made everything more interesting! Wonderful time spent!! ❤

The warmth of the season comes through not just because of the decorations and treats, but the smiles. I enjoyed seeing the cat, nothing cozier than a curled up feline! The shop owners were so nice to let you film before the shoppers, it does much better justice to their wares that way, and you don't have to worry as much with getting a good angle. Thanks for sharing your trip, and much joy of the season to you!

Agree about the so called German Christmas pickle. My father immigrated to the United States in the 50's with his family and I remember people asking us growing up where our "pickle" was. We too now have a pickle ornament on our tree, but it only brings us a laugh. I asked my dad about a couple of other things and he said "Oh no, we were too poor for a Christmas pyramid or arch." I loved seeing the shop and the old building it's in. Thank you for another adventure!

Oh yes, when we shared our Christmas tree decoration video on KZfaq for the first time, we got so many questions about the pickle but we didn't grow up with it at all. I can imagine, my parents' parents didn't have much either.

Just to share. The reason for 4 poster beds was before plaster ceilings. You really didn’t want bugs falling on your bed from the thatched roof. The English term ‘raining cats and dogs’ for exactly the same reason: in heavy rain, literally cats and dogs - who had climbed into the warmest part of the house - would fall out of the thatch!

My parents’ next door neighbors were German and when they returned home each year, my parents took in the mail, etc. One year they brought a pickle, so some Germans know of it (maybe the pickles were sold to Americans). This was a stunning video! That shop is remarkable. Such a beautiful selection of quality items. Very festive to kick off the season.

Such a beautiful place York is. Thank you for sharing this with us. My husband and I are from German ancestry, and we never had a pickle on our Christmas Trees. We live in Pennsylvania where many Germans settled when they immigrated to USA and a pickle in the tree is not a tradition. I think you are right; it was probably a publicity stunt from Woolworths.

I am lucky enough to live very close to York and regularly visit. Previous to Kathe Wohlfahrt, in those premises was a shop called Mulberry Hall, which sold the most beautiful crystal, and porcelain, and I am sure you both would have loved it. Mulberry Hall was also wonderful to visit at Christmas. It was there for many decades, but sadly became a victim of the recession, and closed its doors for the final time a few years ago. I am pleased Kathe Wohlfahrt moved in, as it suits the Tudor premises so well, and we absolutely love the shop too! Thank you so much for sharing your York adventure. I am a new subscriber, and have been catching up on your old videos, including your previous Christmas vlogs- thank you so much for sharing 💚🎄

My family is of Pennsylvania German which came from the Palatinate area of southwestern Germany along the Rhine. The myth of the pickle is something I heard of only after living in Lancaster County PA where the Amish live. Our tradition is one of the Belsnickel, He was an old man equipped with a sack filled with cakes, nuts, and fruits, and a long hazel switch which was supposed to have some kind of a charm in it as well as a sting. I have several smokers depicting this character. I have been to Kathe Wohlfahrt shops in Germany. Many of the ornaments purchased there are painted wooden figures. They are some of my treasured Christmas decorations. I also have a Weihnachts Pyramide I purchased in the 1980’s when my children were little. Thank you for this wonderful tour through York at Christmas!

I have to chuckle at the way everything under the sun is now in the form of an ornament for the Christmas tree!

Thank you for the wonderful tour of York. When we were there we were on a tour & had a little time to look. Amy from Fl. U.S.A.

That German pickle story is hilarious. I will enjoy busting that myth. But they were quite polite and embraced the joke. Love the Christmas tree toppers 🎄

Thank you so much for this vlog. It was the epitome of Christmas time. I was there 40 years ago. You bought it all back for me. What a perfect Christmas present. May you have a wonderful Christmas. ✨️

My grandmother was born in Sollbach, Germany, in 1904 to farmers and immigrated to U. S. age 19---alone by ship. She kept many of the traditional German foods and lived simply. I love those candle arches....heard it may take a couple of months before receiving, but you're right. A good investment for something beautiful and to remember my grandmother. LOVE these tours. I see and learn much. Many thanks, Kirsten and Joerg. Merry Christmas!!

Ich habe tatsächlich noch nie eine Gurke an einem deutschen Weihnachtsbaum gesehen 🎄🙈 … so schöne Weihnachtsdekoration 🥰. Schade, dass ich erst am 27.12. nach England fahre. Danke für den wunderschönen Ausflug 😘

Das beruhigt mich zu hören! Es kann ja sein, dass es irgendeine Region in DE gibt, wo man es kennt aber wir sind schon so viel herum gekommen, es würde uns wirklich wundern! Ganz ganz liebe Grüße

Beautiful Christmas vlog which would not have been complete without Joerg’s Christmas sausage!! ❤ York looks like a fairytale village. Thank you for bringing us there. 🎄

Beautiful! That shop pulled at my Heartstrings, it would be very difficult for me to leave that shop without a box of ornaments. I must say while the Christmas decor was beautiful in the castle it does not hold a candle to your Christmas tree decorations that are so personal they tell a story of love, family and life lived.

So glad you brought up the myth of the Christmas pickle. I am American and first generation Italian, we have never heard of this practice within our families. So cute though.
@KirstenJoerg Жыл бұрын
I know, since we have our YT channel we always get the question when we decorate our tree and at first we thought, we missed something but no, it's just not known. Definitely cute though.

Thank you for explaining the Christmas Pickle. I live in the US and have only seen them at shops, but do not know anyone who grew up with that tradition. Now at least I know the story behind it. I was able to buy two Christmas Pyramids at thrift store and from pieces of both I was able to assemble one to gift to my mother. She loves your videos.

York is such a magical place and at Christmas it’s even more stunning..you have shown us many amazing destinations and I really love the Christmas tours! Everything is just so beautiful. The decorations, quaint streets with nostalgic shops and buildings from long ago. I miss Christmas in the U.K. The hotel is lovely as are both of you! Thank you and God bless.
