I'm born in a Hindu family in India and we don't really celebrate Christmas here but Diwali is the biggest festival here. My favourite tradition on Diwali is making Rangoli... it's an art made of dry colors on the floor and then lighting up the whole house with beautiful lamps (called diyas in Hindi) and candles
@darsh____ 7 ай бұрын
I can completely relate to that as an Indian and a Hindu. Every year, as Diwali approaches, my sister and i make rangoli in our corridor and our neighbors/ residents of the building come and appriciate our effort a lot and we also light up the entire house with divas and scented candles ❤ It is truly one of the most magical times of the year❤

My favourite Christmas tradition: I grew up in a large family with 6 children, and every year before Christmas, we'd pick a day where all of us together would cut paper stars/snowflakes of all shapes, sizes and colours. These would then be stuck on all the kitchen and living room windows. My mum taught all of us how to make them from a very young age and it's been so fun to see the designs becoming more beautiful and intricate every year. Once the stars are on the windows, it's like the christmas festivities can officially begin. Last year I spent a few months in England, and it was the first and only christmas I've ever been away from my family. I missed them so much. When I told my flatmates about this tradition that I love, a few of them wanted to learn how to do it. We then spent our day cutting stars together and sticking them on the windows, and it was like I had a little piece of home with me. It's a nice memory to have.

I am Polish, and the christmas tradition that I find the most special is leaving an empty seat with a set of dishes and cutlery at the Christmas Eve table. On that winter night families open their homes and hearts for an unexpected guest, travellers and the most lonely, so they can join the celebrations and feel the warmth of christmas spirit. The empty seat reminds us also of our loved ones who are no longer with us, but whose presence and love lives on in our hearts and, that magical night, seems almost tangible.

This is actually a custom we do every year in Greece: on Christmas eve morning and on new year's eve afternoon children go from door to door singing carols, and the houses' owners open the doors and give them some money and chocolates. These song are in fact announcing to the homeowner that on that noght Jesus will be born and the new year will begin respectively.

Instead of everyone ripping open their presents by themselves, we go round and someone gives a present to another person. And before the next one is opened, everyone watches what they receive.

As for favorite rituals, I enjoy giving myself a nice, relaxing start in the morning where I listen to a podcast or a music playlist while I'm walking to my college campus and warm or cool myself down with a tea from the college's cafe upon arrival. Always starts my day on a good note. ^^

One of my favourite Christmas traditions: My family will always make and decorate gingerbread for people (mainly friends or teachers) around this time of year to say thank you and to show our appreciation. I love this tradition because it marks the start of the Christmas season and is a way that I can show my gratitude for important people in my life. I've also come to appreciate this tradition more as I've grown older as it allows me to look back and observe how things have changed over time. For example, when we were younger, my brother and I used to only decorate the gingerbread, while now we make it from start to finish.

Some years I find it particular hard to get into a festive mood with uni finishing the semester and all kinds of activities taking place but two movies that always get me into the right swing are The Polar Express and Little Lord Fauntleroy (1980) which is based on a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. You would probably enjoy these too :)

My favorite Christmas tradition is me and my man decorating the tree singing and dancing with the candles 🕯 and the Christmas songs ( especially the vintage and children ones) with a black festive tea and living the Christmas days as children in general!♡ and after all that decorating another tea and a good book perhaps a fuzzy blanket and all the twinkle lights and candle sparks sound a m a z i n g!

I love the ritual of winding down in the evening - doing my skin care, lighting a candle, making a hot water bottle and of course reading!! It helps me relax and get ready for sleep which I often struggle with - it is also time reserved just for myself so gives me some mental space after a busy or stressful day. I love your videos so much Ruby and you are such an inspiring person, both academically but also just for life in general xx

Ik exactly how you feel about makeup! After doing some reading I realised how it's the patriarchy making women argue about trivial things like makeup to distract us from the really important issues like the pay gap and gender-based violence. So in short: rock your lip gloss! 😄

Makeup is anti feminist. It feeds off of womens insecurities and is the prime example of the way sexism and capitalism intersect and feed off of each other. Yes, there are bigger issues, but that doesn’t make makeup any less of an issue. I personally wear makeup occasionally, but I am still aware of the fact that it is sexist.

@@ss-qu4wx I completely agree about makeup being a prime example of sexism and capitalism intersecting. However, at the end of the day, I think the priority rn is to solve the systemic issues of the pay gap, gender-based violence, racial inequality, etc. And I don't think we should police other women over wearing makeup or not; arguing amongst ourselves isn't going to help us make systemic change. But am v happy to listen to other opinions!! I'm a straight white woman so I understand my view of things might be limited lol

Hey Ruby I was just wondering how come you are home again seeing as you said in one of your videos that you were going to try and go home less often? Obviously, there is nothing wrong with going home and visiting your family if you can but you said you were extremely busy and overwhelmed with uni work as it was deadline season so surely it would make more sense to stay at your uni house? I don't mean any hate I'm just curious as to why you are home so often :)

My favorite Christmas tradition is baking Christmas cookies with my family because we make tins full for everyone we know and they each get accompanied with a hand drawn/painted Christmas card. Working all together on the cards and cookies with Christmas music playing in the background makes me feel like I am in father Christmas’s workshop.

I got so excited when I saw that you just posted a video, it always makes my day 😊 My favourite christmas tradition has to be going into the kitchen on the 24th while my mother and grandmother are preparing a Portuguese sweet dish called aletria. It is made of a sort of pasta and it is usually eaten cold with cinnamon, but I always have entered the kitchen as soon as I can smell it and they usually will put a dish of it aside while it's still hot, since that's how I prefer it. It happens every year and despite being a small gesture it makes me feel loved and safe. And it tastes like childhood 😊 Have a merry and safe Christmas season 🎄🎁❣

My favourite cherished Christmas tradition comes from a time when my grandparents were still alive. Every Christmas Day after lunch, everyone would perform something for the rest of the family in the front room. Some people chose poems, some chose to sing a song and others chose to act out a scene. I always chose to do a gymnastics routine!🙈 We used to start thinking and planning in October and it really was the highlight of the day♥️Although I miss their faces now, it is still a Christmas ritual that continues to be lovingly passed down through my family. Happy Christmas Ruby to you and your family and thankyou for being awesome x

My favorite ritual is probably making latte with espresso that made with my moka pot, lighting a candle in my late grandma's candle holder and creating myself a magical atmosphere to write a little diary and then read a book. Sometimes I do a time lapse and read until my candle runs out, and I found really cool to videotape it. I prefer to do this ritual in my room on the garden floor, it is very pleasant to watch the chickens, cats and birds in the garden. This fall, I also planted tulips, hyacinths and daffodils bulbs. Planting bulbs was also one of the most important rituals of my last 1-2 months. And before I forget, I wanted to say that if you have uploaded a new video before this coffee-candle-book ritual I am describing, I will definitely watch you first, Ruby. You motivate me so much and also I feel like I'm doing this routine with a friend. much love x.
