German start to celebrate Christmas on
Nov 1st to Dec 31st !
Nov 1st is the first “Advent” Children receive “Adventskalender” it a calender with 22 windows which they can open every day and eat the chocolate that they find. The last will be open on Dec 22nd.
Nov 22nd to Dec 22nd is the Christmas market “Weihnachtsmarkt” .
That`s fantastic, specially in Nürnberg ( in the southern). and Frankfurt.
You could see it anyway, people who haven´t see that before really like that. There you can drink “Glühwein” a sort of war wein and eat “Lebkuchen” or many other German Christmas specialties. Great!
Here you can see a picture.
