#turkey

Yeah there are some odd regional traditions.
🔔 In Dewsbury they start ringing a church bell (the bell that Black Tom de Soothill once presented the church with as penance for murdering his servant) at 10am and therafter once for each year since the year 0. This must be a nightmare for local residents.
🏰 From Clifford’s Tower in York they hang mistletoe, if a woman stands underneath it it means she wants to be kissed by anyone passing by. (You’re still allowed to fire crossbows in York by the way, providing that you’re shooting at a Scottish person. Conversely, 45 minutes away in Hull, crossbows have been banned since the 1500s.)
🎼 In Dungworth xmas carols are only sung by locals in a local pub ever since carolling was banned in churches hundreds of years ago by Puritans. There’s also a local pub we used to go to for meals (its name escapes me, I think it’s in or near the village of Goodmanham, where a Temple of Odin lies buried beneath the local church) that does public carolling in the pub, and I wonder if this is rooted in the same tradition. Furthermore, the Yorkshire villages of Castleton, Oughtibridge, Bradfield, Ecclesfield and Worrall all have a 200 year old tradition of pub carol singing, and all have their own Christmas carols unique to that village.
🐴 Every Christmas Eve in Richmond marketplace a person wearing a horses head is sung to by a group of huntsmen who then ‘bring it to life’ with hunting sticks and a horn.
🌞 In York Every 21st December (usually the date of Yule or the Winter Solstice) the Sheriff is accompanied around the city by the York Waits playing music. The procession ends with a speech at the Mansion House.
🐠 On Boxing Day at Flamborough Head, eight fishermen perform a sword dance on the high street.
💈 On the common land of Beverley Westwood at Solstice Dawn or Dusk (winter and summer) , local Morris sides often meet to dance at The Black Tower, weather and other restrictions permitting. I have been to this myself, and danced at dawn. Beer and music is to be had in a local pub afterwards.
🍎 During the Christmas Day service at Ripon Cathedral, visitors and parishioners are each given the gift of an apple, a custom that began in Mediaeval times.
⚽️ In Scarborough on Boxing Day the 150-year-old tradition of Firemen versus Fishermen having a football (soccer) match on the beach continues. (I do not know if women can be members of either team, something for me to investigate).
🔥 On 31st December a Viking Fire Festival takes place at Flambrough, with fireballs and the traditional burning of a Viking longship, something that’s practiced in a number of towns in the UK with Viking heritage.
🦃 This year as you tuck into your turkey, give thanks to William Strickland, born on the Yorkshire coast, who brought the bird back to England in 1526. It became a popular Christmas food during the Victorian era.
🧀 for over 100 yers now, Yorkshire folk have enjoyed a slice of cheese with their xmas cake

1-Anyone with any mental or physical health would take advantage of having a well balanced diet which includes taking AT LEAST 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, 1 serve of lean protein, 6 servings of fibrous multigrain bread and cereals, 2 servings of milk, yoghurt and cheese and one serving of lean meat-type product. The reason is simple! With a well balanced diet which is low in salt, processed food, added sugar and saturated fat we are nourishing our body with all the required Energy, Vitamines, Mineral and Proteins and Fiber.

2-If depression is due to the lack of serotonin then having turkey or Chicken Breast as the lean protein would help because these food contain tryptophan that can potentially be converted into serotonin in our bodies.

---

3-Food that are rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin D including Fish, egg yolks, nuts, legumes, avocados, oats dark, leafy vegetables (broccoli, spinach,..) can help with depression and can be considered in daily servings.

---

4-To deal with depression and excessive stress it is important to avoid consumption of energy drinks, caffeine , processed sugars and simple carbs because although they act as a quick energy fix they cause an insulin rush in our body and the energy suddenly drops and leave you with more worn out.

---

5-Drink plenty of water! at least 8 full glasses as dehydration can cause low energy levels, hypertension. Hydration is the key to a boost metabolism and therefore energy levels which can definitely elevate the mood.

---

6-Please try to get out of you room; walking in the fresh air even if it's only in your backyard or garden always elevates the mood.

---

7-Please try to prepare for bed 1 hour earlier before you want to fall asleep . This includes finishing work with phones, laptops, tvs and having a warm cup of milk, taking a warm bath or shower and going to bed 30 minutes prior to sleep. Your body needs a good rest and deep sleep to release all the hormones & complete metabolizing of food u have consumed

I had to search the Internet for an answer, because as you and I figured out the traditions we have are different and we live under the domination of different churches, Catholic and Christian, the answer is stuffed turkey, yes you eat it on Christmas according to tradition, we traditionally have tangerines, champagne and Olivier in New Year)
New Year from December 31 to January 1 is more important than Christmas, because in Russia not everyone believes in God and many other religions, many do not celebrate it in vain, but how do you remember Christmas in Russia on January 7🌲🍾

Пришлось искать в интернете ответ, ибо как мы с тобой вычислили традиции у нас разные и живем по господству разных церквей, католической и христианской, ответ фаршированная индейка, да вы едите ее в Рождество по традиции, у нас по традиции мандарины, шампанское и оливье в Новый год) Новый год с 31 декабря на 1 января важнее, чем Рождество, ибо в России не все верят в бога и множество других религий, его по попусту многие не отмечают, а как ты помнишь в России Рождество 7 января🌲🍾

The people who live in democrat run states believe that they are superior and more intelligent than anyone else on the planet. That lack of humility and profound arrogance, will be their downfall. Yes it is true that democrats control the Federal government, the media, the DOJ and the education system, but it is also an undeniable fact that every institution and state that democrats control are failing. And the democrats and globalists still believe that they are destined to dominate and control the world, right?
Well Russia, China, India, Turkey, Hungry, Africa and South America are all declaring that they will not allow the United States and NATO to control the world and it's resources. Hey democrats, it looks like your global utopia is falling apart right in front of your eyes and there isn't a damn thing you tyrants can do about it. Sure, you can attack Russia, China and their allies. Let me know how that works out for you woke clowns.

Prediction: It WILL NOT pass the senate and if it does, Biden will veto the legislation.
Why?
Because the democrats will demand that the 2nd amendment be abolished and all guns be confiscated from citizens.

---

What is this fight really about?

---

Before the globalists, democrats, RINO's and Neocons can create a New World Order (see U.N. Agenda2030, WEF and WHO) they must destroy the middle class. Before the democrats can destroy the middle class and confiscate their assets, including property, they MUST confiscate the weapons to leave Americans defenseless.

---

GOAL = Create New World Order (Great Reset, Build Back Better, One World Government)

---

Step#1 - Create maximum chaos by attacking all systems and institutions including the Constitution and all opposition (conservatives, Trump supporters, Republicans and Patriots)
Step#2 - Eliminate the 2nd amendment and confiscate all guns
Step#3 - Eliminate the Middle Class through inflation, high taxes, while confiscating all of their assets (property, savings, investments, etc), The government will utilize Blackrock to take ownership of your property and you will be charged rent to live in your own home even though your mortgage is paid in full. Historians will refer to this as "The Great Steal."
Step#4 - Create One World Government and select a brutal dictator to force people to comply.

---

Is there any hope? YES!

---

The globalists made a fatal mistake when they forced sanctions upon Russia and other countries for not obeying them. Russia, China, India, Turkey, Africa, South America, Hungry and most of the non western world are forming alliances based upon the ruble and yen which will quickly replace the dollar as the reserve currency. Also, Russia and China are building up their military strength in order to defeat any attack that America and NATO plan.

---

My belief is that in an all out war against China, Russia and their allies, the United States will suffer a massive defeat. The simple fact is that it is the Unites States and NATO who are attempting to create this One World Government via (U.N., WEF, WHO, Central Banks and the Intelligence Agencies) and Russia and China are prepared to fight to the death to prevent the globalists from taking over the world as they have done to America, the EEU, Canada and Australia.

---

The first domino to fall will be the defeat of Ukraine.
Taiwan will be next.
Also, if NATO continues to attack Russia via proxy, Russia will stop supplying gas, oil and food to Europe just in time for winter. The fact is that the globalists have already lost but they are to ignorant and arrogant to realize it yet.

For me, it's about fulfilling a sense of wonder about a specific place. Unlike some travelers, I don't go to a place because it "sounds nice". I only visit places that intrigue me for one reason or another. I may have watched a documentary or a movie or read a book and suddenly I'm hooked. For instance, I loved British comedy when I was a kid. I had to go see England. So I did. It was everything I expected and more because I was interested in the small details of the place. The brick architecture. The hedgerows. The musty air of an old pub. The gray slate skies over the Channel. All that stuff. I've been to London twice. Still haven't seen Big Ben or Parliament. Why? I just don't care about them. I've read a lot about Roman history and the great Slavic migrations, so I visit those places. I probably won't visit Sweden because it just doesn't hold any allure to me. I'm sure it's nice and I even have a very good Swedish friend. But I'd rather go to Turkey. Or New Zealand. Or Argentina. Those places intrigue me. That's why I tell new travelers on this forum to think hard about what place holds that magical appeal in their minds. GO THERE. Once you do, every moment becomes special. You aren't just plodding from one tourist site to the next. You are instead immersed in a dream come to life. That's why I travel. Being completely immersed in a culture you have no experience with and people who speak a language you dont know is incredibly fun.
What I mean by perspective: these are the tourists who want to see something that they've heard about or read about all of their lives, and they want to see it for their own eyes rather than on a page or a screen. Times Square, the Mona Lisa, the Pyramids of Egypt, etc are typically the things that these people want to see. Examples: people who sign up for tour groups and spend 10 days on a bus going from tourist trap to tourist trap. Very few people fit perfectly into those three categories, but you can define a lot of travelers by how they fit across those categories. I'd say I personally am about 15% adventure, 15% hedonism and 70% perspective. I travel on my own, without a minimal set itinerary or guide, but the places where I travel tend to be fairly sedate and within an easy walk of toilet facilities. While travelling I indulge a little, but not much more than I would at home - it's about indulging in different things. And I'm 70% perspective: I want to be able to see thing with my own eyes so that I know what it really looks like, without the perspective filter that books, movies and video games put on places.
