I absolutly LOVE christmas time.. Especially in germany!
Every city sets up a "Weihnachtsmarkt" or christmas market in the center of town that is open on the weekends.. its so cute!
This past weekend I went with my host mom and dad and the neighbors to Altenburgs Weihnachtsmarkt and saw the Wiehnachtsmann (Santa) and watched the parade of children,.. they dress up as angels and come out of the church and then parade to the center where the big Tannenbaum (christmas tree) is. Its adorable!
Then we eat yummy bratwurst and drink hot wine. i think its called Glühwein.. i dont know. everyone drinks it, i guess its like the eggnog of germany haha.. I prefer the childrens version though.. which is just hot fruit punch. and let me tell you.. it is delicious!
