Same in Denmark. The show is called "Disneys Christmas show" and is on at the same time every year.

Sounds like a significant improvement on the King's/Queen's Speech.

IDK about anyone else, but we always watch A Christmas Story on repeat Christmas Day

a Polish yuletide tradition is watching Home Alone on boxing day

My husband with his Danish and Swedish grandmothers (as in, were born and grew up there) and his insistence about watching a Micky Mouse Christmas special every Christmas Eve suddenly makes more sense!

well, this is a tradition I can get behind!

And always the worry that Disney will stop selling the right to show it. Has been a close call a few times.

In Germany "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" are a Christmas-time must. Not on a set moment, but lots of tv stations have it programmed.

I was just in Iceland, and the tour manager said Donald Duck was the only comics available during his youth (1960's). It was in Danish. Every child and adult loved Donald. When I was at the airport leaving Iceland, I saw Donald Duck comics was sold at the bookstore - still the only comics sold.

The only way I can legit watch Donald Duck in the U.S. is to buy a $$ Disney subscription. Lucky Swedes and Danes!

Here in the US most everyone celebrates by watching "Charlie Brown Christmas"

What do they have against Charlie brown/peanuts?

Same in Norway 😃

Books flight to Sweden for Christmas

That’s awesome

Can't recall who and when. Possibly in my shorter days Bit they'd watch "Dinner for One"?

Sounds a bit like the "Dinner For One" tradition in Germany and other countries on New Years Eve - a 1960's British TV comedy sketch long forgotten in the UK

I hope the Donald Duck in the US doesn’t spoil it for anyone. It would hear.

I'm curious. Has "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" made it into the European annual playlist / mindset? That's my favorite Christmas animated special, especially the scene with Max riding at the front of the sleigh :-) I imagine that, like "The Odyssey" is said to, it would lose something in translation of the plays on words and rhyming couplets.

Same in norway

Now this I feel we need to roll out everywhere! Where do I sign.

I've always thought Sweden would be a great place to live but on learning this I no longer think so as I hate that Duck

Nice. I love Donald Duck.

keep it simple..."I'm super happy, I have this constipated dog and it finally did it's business. Sorry for over sharing but this was causing us great distress" how are you today?

TIL I'm part Irish, f**k the fuckity yeah!

I have no idea if it's the same everywhere in India, but a colleague had an arranged marriage (as in the parents agreed they'd marry once they completed their degrees) but both she and the to-be husband would also had a say and if they didn't want, they wouldn't have to get married, so they dated for a year and then decided that yes, it was a good match - they're still together 30+ years on! Different story with a Pakistani client, he thought he was going to a party and it was his wedding, they didn't have a say at all and although they are still married they can't stand each other, they even work opposite shifts so interaction is absolutely minimal

I am "team rest of planet". 🙅🏻‍♀️🙈

Gee! I wonder fụcked up country this is! 🤔

That's called insurance isn't it?

GoooooooD MORNING VIETNAM! 🙃

I watched a TV show explaining this part. If you're silent and meek in a restaurant, its either you did not enjoy the food or something's wrong. Well... I still respect their colorful culture. :D

It's not as common as it was many years ago. As kids we didn't wear shoes unless expected to. Mind you, no snakes or venomous creatures here

My dad "meows" when someone drop something in a restaurant. It's not a cultural thing. It's just my dad being my dad.

I am with ze Germans

This is an Arab thing, too. I would pay the bill when my friend was in the loo. It's actually fun, like a game, with the winner buying.

If only there were police dogs to sniff out corporate crime...

It's an NZ/Aus thing

I have a maple syrup reserve... three sugar maples in my back yard.

USA person here....I used to not care one way or the other. Now I can't stand it. I mute the commercials and go in another room for a few minutes.

It's true for many Asian cultures. Any elder family friend is automatically an auntie and uncle.
