White Christmas in Germany We want to tell you something about the snow in Germany.
Every year we hope that there will be white Christmas. We looked out of the window and when we saw the first snowflake we were really happy. Last Christmas we had so much snow. That was very cold.
The streets are full with snow and they are slibbery. It was very easy to fall.
Pets, children and parents - everybody has fun in the snow
Christmas Market in Alstätte and Ahaus Every year in Christmas time in every city and town in Germany there is a Christmas Market.
Food and Drink At the Christmas Market you can eat Crepés and burnt almond and chips And you can drink hot wine punsh and hot chocolate.
You can buy lots of christmas dressing, handmade things, something to drink or eat like biscuits.
German christmas meals In Germany at Christmas day all of the family met at one house. They all eat together a special meal! The table must be laid very pretty and then they all can eat.
Many families cook a three-course menu. It s very delicious. In Germany we eat for example: -first a soup or a salad -after that a goose or raclette - and at the end we often eat ice. cream or pudding
Our Christmas Tree On Christmas lots of people have got a nice tree in their living room. All people decorate it with nice colourful ornaments. Many people put the presents under the tree.

A typical Christmas Eve s Day
The Morning At the morning you stand up in Germany and think: Yo it s Christmas!. Than you take a shower and go down to the breakfast. Now the whole family comes down and they are having a breakfast.
The Afternoon In Germany we usualy dont eat, some peoples are eating something light, because there s not much time, but the most dont eat anything. At 6 o clock the church starts for the adults but everybody comes at half past because it s so busy there. There are some services for the children at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., too.
The Evening In the evening we are eating a very big and delicious meal. After that the gift giving starts. Than we talk and have fun. Thats the Christmas Eve Day.
The two Christmas Days On the first and the second Christmas Day we usually visit our grandparents or relatives. They visit us and we have a meal together or the other way round. Some of us get presents there as well. Some even start their skiing holidays on Christmas. So they are on their way to the snow areas.
