How We Celebrate Christmas & New Year in the Coldest Village on Earth (−71°C, −95°F)

Christmas and New Year are celebrated differently in Yakutia. For the Yakut people, there are two new years to celebrate.
The first is the Yakutian new year, which falls on the summer solstice, on June 21st. This is a time of great celebration, when the people come together to mark the beginning of the summer and to honor their ancestors.
The Yakut people also celebrate the western new year, which takes place on January 1st. This holiday is similar to Christmas, with celebrations, gift-giving, and special traditions.
I am pleased to share how we celebrate Christmas and New Year in Yakutia, as we say in Yakutia: Sana Djilinan, Sana Djolunan!
Wishing you all a happy Christmas and new year, to you and your loved ones from the coldest place on earth, Yakutia.

    Im lying in bed at 4am fighting cancer and this video reminds me of what life is truly about. Not trivial things we buy and social media with its self indulgence aspects. This family for me is the heart of life. They love each other and the respect and happiness they share is a testament to how little we need to be happy. Love and family are so sacred. ❤❤❤

    Привет из Шотландии! Я думаю, что каждый "житель Запада" мог бы относиться к их празднованиям! 😊 Когда мои дети были маленькими, я отправлялся на поиски подходящего дерева, точно такого же, как это! В конце концов я нашел идеальное дерево и срубил его, но, отступив назад, провалился сквозь снег в яму глубиной около 1,5 м! Я так испугалась, потому что думала, что упаду гораздо глубже! Я выполз и отнес дерево домой, к своей семье, как победоносный воин! Ха-ха-ха! Хорошие воспоминания! Спасибо тебе за еще одно отличное видео о якутском образе жизни, Киун! 😊😊👏👏 Я надеюсь, что вам всем понравится это праздничное, замечательное время года! Пусть 2023 год станет великим годом для всех, и пусть у нас везде будет мир, пожалуйста! 🕊🕊 ------------- Greetings from Scotland! I think every "Westerner" could relate to their celebrations! When my children were young I would go out looking for a suitable tree, just like this! 1 year I found a perfect tree and cut it down but as I stepped back, I went through the deep snow into a hole about 1.5M deep! I had such a fright because I thought I was going to fall much deeper! I got out and took the tree back home to my family, like a triumphant warrior! Ha ha ha! Good memories! Thank you for another excellent video of the Yakutian way of life, Kiun! 😊😊👏👏 I hope you all enjoy this festive, wonderful time of year! May 2023 be a great year for everyone and may we have peace everywhere, please! 🕊🕊

    What the West calls Christmas is actually the Nardugan holiday of the Turks. Santa Claus is actually Ayaz Dede. Ayaz means very cold and Dede means Grandfather/Ancestor. Ayaz Dede appeared at night to the Sakha Turks living in extreme cold and helped those who were about to die of cold. The White Pine tree is sacred in Asia. It represents the tree of life. If you research the Nardugan holiday, you will learn about the real Santa Claus, Ayaz Dede and many other things.

    Im from Austria and it's totally surreal to see a stable whole family celebrating christmas and new year together. This is what it used to be 10 years ago in the west. Best wishes to the family and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    The majority of people I know do not celebrate with their actual family. They go to their friends or spouses houses for Christmas V sad

    I have been biinge watching your videos. We should all strive to achieve this level of community and family support. It truly is what we are missing in most modern families. We are missing the simplicity of life as well. Thank you so much for sharing your culture with us. I would love to visit one day.
