Recorded from YVR (Vancouver Airport) during a layover on my way back to Beijing, this episode of The Language Vlog Podcast reflects on some of the Ukrainian-Canadian traditions that take place during the Christmas season. Traditions include what is done on Christmas Eve, what types of food are eaten around this time, and the origins of the famous song "Carol of the Bells". Also discussed are modern books that have been translated into ancient languages and the start of a new Chinese Course by Email that we will be launching on January 1st, 2025.
