1:54 Actually, in Spain we have "Father Christmas" but we also have the three Wise Men (Although in Spain they call them "Los tres reyes magos" wich literally translates to the three wizards kings), these bring the presents in early January, instead of december.
I live in America and some people celebrate Three Kings Day
„Heilige drei Könige“ is also a thing in the catholic parts of Germany. Children dress up and go from door to door to sing songs and write CMB on the door meaning „Christus mansionem benedicat“ (Christ bless this house).
And in Portugal we have Baby Jesus.
🙂
@@kardona_3yup just celebrated last night with me Mexican family😂
St Nicholas is basically what Santa is based on. Here in the Netherlands he comes on the 5th of december.
Waarom hebben ze de kerst man dan ge zet voor ons
@@TheGreyBird71 Omdat het ging over kerst zelf, in de andere landen komt "Sinterklaas" met kerst. Bij de meeste nederlanders komt de kerstman/santa claus/father christmas
meanwhile the dutch when they have 2 extra holidays (sinterklaas and 2nd christmasday

@@BuzzGlitcher ah ok
1:54 In Italy is a bit more complex than that:
Historically in most of Italy it was also "Baby Jesus" that bringed gifts, except for a couple of regions where it was either Saint Nicholas or Saint Lucy.
Now "Babbo Natale" (literally Father Christmas) has replace most of them in popularity, but in some places the older traditions survive.
Then there is also the "Befana" (literally a witch/hag, with broomstick and everything) that brings some more, smaller gifts (usually candies) to good children and coal to bad ones on Epiphany day.
All of them are someway or another considered "little" helpers of Baby Jesus.
That "who brings presents" map isn't exactly accurate. St. Nicolas brings presents in Poland BUT on the 6th of December. Meanwhile during Christmas it totally depends on region (thank partitions lol). It can be:
- Baby Jesus
- Little Angel
- Little Star (Gwiazdka)
- Starman (Gwiazdor)
- Grandpa Frost (Dziadek Mróz)
w dużej części polski (szczególnie wschód i centrum) 24 grudnia prezenty przynosi tez święty mikołaj, jako że najwięcej ludzi uważa że to on przynosi prezenty, to najprawdopodobniej dlatego autor dał go na mapę
What is funny I basically was thinking yesterday how to translate "Gwiazdor" into English, because translating it as "Starman" sounds kinda meh.
Beat me to it, the feast of St Nicholas is on the 6th, not the 25th.
i święty mikołaj, teraz jest już bardzo popularny
U mnie 24 grudnia zawsze były prezenty na Gwiazdkę i pytamy się nawzajem ,,co Gwiazdka ci przyniosła''. Mikołaj przynosi słodycze 6 grudnia.
9:16 this is actually a little more nuanced. In Brazil, most women do in fact keep their last name, but we tend to double barrel and end up with stupidly long last names over generations
*clears throat*
Teresa Cristina Maria Josefa Gaspar Baltasar Melchior Januária Rosalía Lúcia Francisca de Assis Isabel Francisca de Pádua Donata Bonosa Andréia de Avelino Rita Liutgarda Gertrude Venância Tadea Spiridione Roca Matilde de Bourbon-Duas Sicílias
They don't, what he interpreted wrong is that it wasn't it not spreading from Portugal to Brazil but rather it spreading but later Portugal stopping to do it, however Brazil is on the same trend, but it's not the majority yet.
Though "Joulupukki" literally means Christmas Goat it's just the Finnish word for Santa. In Finland, Santa comes in the evening and gives gifts to kids directly.
11:23 Drew, as a (Non-native) Washingtonian, the reason it's called that is the state has a lot, and I mean A LOT of trees- except, half the state is more like a desert. That is because of the Cascade Mountains making a Rain Shadow effect. That's all.
Christmas goat is indeed the name of Santa Claus here 😂 So it's not a goat, but just Santa with a strange name. Greetings from Finland 🥳
So you're saying that Finland thinks Santa is the GOAT?
Explanation:
North germanic pagans celebrated Yule, and a tradition was carving a goat out of wood and hanging it on a pine tree, to celebrate the god Thor, who supposedly rose up into the sky on a chariot by two goats.
Satan Claus.
Slight correction: Grandfather Frost (known as Дед Мороз in Russian), is actually the equivalent for Santa but in New Year and New Year's Eve.
On the us airline flight map, Jet Blue is technically a subsidiary of American Airlines and they serve Thailand.
JetBlue is not a subsidiary of American, it's a complete separate company, wdym?
Well, I flew jet blue once but I had to do it through the AA desk so they’re connected in some way
@@Finlandball39 they used to have a code share agreement, that's probably why
countryball
12:01 I refuse to believe he just said *"Pintree"* State...
1:44 I'm finnish and me or everyone I've met have never heard of a christmas goat
Kaverit laitto "pukin" google translateen

Yeah the overwork issues in japan is more of a cultural issue than a legal one. they have a strong, extreme even, sense of collectivism even if it is at the expense of their own health and social life.
That's interesting, as in the philippines (I'm not sure if most Filipinos are overworking though)
overwork issues are definitely a legal issue.
The Finnish christmas goat is probably because of the translation. We have santa claus.
12:47 I like how the Chesapeake Bay grew westward taking over Maryland. OC is the capital now.
11:56
It shows Wisconsin rightfully owning the upper peninsula
1:46 This map doesn't show the full picture when it comes to Poland. In Podbeskidzie and Lesser Poland it's more common for a little angel or baby Jesus to bring people gifts, while in Greater Poland the gift-bringer would be Gwiazdor (lit. Starman). St Nicolas is generaly more popular in the east, centre and the north
Finally drew just took a break. He deserves it
ikr
10:25 “Tetens”…drew…you have to be kidding…
2:38 fun fact: saint basil was a real person who helped the poor a lot so he bacame a tradition
In Bulgaria it's actually Grandpa Koleda who is different from Father Christmas and Grandpa Frost, Grandpa Koleda the name Koleda is a old Bulgarian legend dating back to 1400 years ago
Not even half a minute in and he calls nato the north *american* treaty organization. It’s the North Atlantic, not North America.
Fun fact. The license plate for cars in the Northwest Territories of Canada is actually a Polar Bear, not the typical rectangle/elongated rectangle found in most of the world.
2:39 the netherlands we have something called "Sinterklaas" which is short for "Sint nicolaas" which is basically the Saint Nicholas that you can see in poland. I kinda understand why were colored red, but still. Even the depiction of St. Nicholas is exactly Sinterklaas
This is where the name Santa Claus comes from.
12:03 Hi, Newfie here to explain. It's called "The Rock" Because the vast majority of the province's population lives on the island of Newfoundland, which is extremely rocky with many steep cliffs and edges.
2:02 actually in Polish voivodship of silesia it mostly depends on city because in ruda śląska for example St. Nicholas comes on december 6th and on december 24th baby jesus comes
0:27 You could also see it as "No official agreement but close military ties in practice"
1:58 Santa Claus is litteraly shot for Saint Nicholas. It’s the same thing. Not kinda, it’s the same “person”
2:30 in the netherlands its both st nicolas and santa, depending on what the family celebrates, but the majority celebrates st nicolas.
11:07 there is a Roman countryball behind him
"pin tree" and "tettons" hurt me
1:15 im pretty sure that’s still part of Australia
1:58 In Poland actually presents at Christmas Eve brings Little Star (Gwiazdka). Saint Nicolaus brings presents at Dec 6th.
Poland is very divided on that topic. In Silesia baby jesus brings presents, gwiazdor is very popular in Pomerania (but in different areas too, of course). But it's mostly St. Nicholas on the 6th and 24th.
As a certified scuba diver I didn’t know is was considered a dangerous activity. With the right equipment and guide it is pretty safe.
0:13 *North ATLANTIC Treaty Organization
Just imagining all the alternate versions of “Santa ain’t bring these gifts! I did” and “Santa isn’t real”
10:48 Interesting that PEI’s nickname is wrapped around Cape Breton (my home island), which is a part of Nova Scotia, instead of the other island illustrated to its right (which is presumably supposed to be PEI)
12:23 there isn't much to advertise about NW Territories, they pretty much have that, Yellowknife and the Great Slave Lake
12:30 in Inuktitut Nunavut translates to Our Land
La Belle Province for Québec translates as The Beautiful Province.
In Poland the person delivering gifts is:
Gwiazdor- A star ⭐️
Sw. Mikołaj- St. Nicolas 🎁
Jezusek- Baby Jesus 👶
12:47 How are they just going to remove maryland like that :(
12:48 half of maryland casually disappearing and being absorbed into delaware
Nevada, my home state, is also known as the Battle Born state
10:46 I just like how you can see that the U.P. is greyed out XD
from a utahn I have to say we LOVE our behives. There is a fliping mural of one in our capatal bilding
Bro the keystone province is such a cool name if it is because it conects the two more developed sides of Canada.
0:52 Also Lebanon
In Croatia we have 3 of them father frost-djed mraz, st Nicholas - sv Nikola,and father Christmas - DJed bozicnjak
Maryland is just..missing in that state nickname map. It sank into the Chesapeake. Only the Delmarva Peninsula survived.
6:41 This is really good way to show why many people will be moving to the Midwest
Drew’s maaaibe muscles make me drool
9:25 yeah I just wanted to say
In Netherland
The woman adopted the loved one last name, well they stil have there first familie name
Keep it up man
1:46 In Mexico it's baby Jesus.
Adivina en dónde es El viejito pascuero 😆
Space is "The Final Frontier"
Alaska is just... the one before it.
Correction the first map is the American empire The Red represents corr territories and orange vassals
Fun fact. Christmas gnomes are also called Gonks!
04:43 it can´t go to Luxembourg? that's weird! Luxembourg is literally a Hub for transportation flights and companies
That's probably why, then. If Luxembourg is already heavily served by non-US based companies, there's less need for US based companies to fly there. It's not a map of where you can fly to from the US, it's a map of where you can fly to _on a US based airline._
The Roman ball has gotten closer than last video (in his facecam)
About the millionaires: in many countries you become a millionaire just by owning your house. Prices have gone up so fast, many middle income households became technically millionaires. But most wouldn't sell their house, because they have to live somewhere and don't want to/can't move
I live exactly at the father Christmas and baby jesus border. As a child I simply decided that the former made more sense than a literal baby
2:26 the gnome and goat is just the translation but he looks like Santa
Imagine being in Norway or Sweden on Christmas and you get gnomed.
2:34 wait until you get to know the spanish regional gift-givers
Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 337]
Devosa (minor planet designation: 337 Devosa) is a large Main belt asteroid. It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 22 September 1892 in Nice. The asteroid is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 2.38 AU with a period of 3.68 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.14. These orbital elements are similar to that of the large asteroid 4 Vesta. The orbital plane of 337 Devosa is tilted at an angle of 7.85° to the plane of the ecliptic.

Fun fact: In Luxembourg we get presence twice. Santa Clause (European Version) comes on the 6th of december and baby Jesus on the 24th of december.
my province being called the heart land is kinda metal
11:03 the golden hammer christmas is a weird name
Drew please have a st. Lucia countryball plushie
I don't know why that last map showcased Florida s the Everglade State rather than the Sunshine State.
5:20 who likes the light shade of green in Wyoming, Utah and Nevada that basically shows you where Interstate 80 is? 😅
As a Norwegian. I never realised how weird it is to call santa Julenissen
Nunavut actually literally translates to "Our Land"
11:24 Oregon gonna get stuck in the Suez canal
NATO officially stands for North American Treaty Organisation
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation*
You should watch the new solar balls episodes! They are crazy good!
The Christmas goat is a swedish tradition
9:00 the Dutch do, or at least used to, do something quite epic.
Women carry both names actually!
So for examples, my great-great-grandmother is called "Maartje van der Eijk-van der Kooij" on her gravestone.
Maartje van der Kooij married Jacob van der Eijk, so after they married, she began carrying the name Maartje van der Eijk-van der Kooij literally into her grave. (You can be happy she was a Protestant and thus only had one first name.... ;))
In everday speech, women could choose but if they had to be short, tended to just put down/say their own name for clarity. (To make clear the person pre-marriage is the same as the person post-marriage signing official documents. Or the person you're speaking to is still that classmate from 20 years ago.)
Nowadays, with the Netherlands being less traditional, most people have stopped doing it. I know my grandmother still picks up the phone as "Mrs. Wisse" instead of "Mrs Zoutewelle" using my grandfather's name. I think it has to do with the fact my grandparents are the only couple in the family who officially married and my parents and uncles/aunts never did....
Also, I have no clue why the Belgians and the Dutch have different customs! That may have to do with protestantism vs catholicism...
Edit; ok, so you talked about it. But still, I love seeing these insanely long Dutch family names in newspapers or stuff.
Cool that both US and Canada have a Keystone State/Province
There is no State in the United States called Keystone, there is however a town in the state of Colorado called Keystone.
I see that he hid the Roman ball for todays episode can’t wait till it releases
Glad i wasnt the only one who noticed that
@@GemboGlag yeah, I noticed it in yesterdays video it looked like he forgot about it or something
St basil is basically Santa or a st
"Climbing the Tetons" sure must be dangerous, you're gonna get killed by any woman you try this on (téton = nipple)
The new Roman Empire ball looks pretty good! When are you announcing it? Edit I just saw the jumbo Mongolian empire ball.
Fun fact:Michigan is also called “The Great Lake State
Bro. "the evergreen state" is literally on our license plates.
