Germans can't celebrate Christmas.

Nowadays, it has become a common custom in the west to exchange gifts and hold banquets with Santa Claus and Christmas tree to add festive atmosphere. In Germany, Christmas, like the Spring Festival in China, is a time for family reunion. In order to welcome the most important festival of the year, Germans usually start preparing a few weeks before Christmas.

Every February 65438+, German children get a gift: Advent Calendar. The traditional Advent calendar is like a small house, with 24 small windows and a date on each window. When you open the small window, you will find a surprise hidden inside: all kinds of chocolates, exquisite candy, charming toys and so on. When all the 24 small windows are opened, Christmas will come.

The custom of celebrating Christmas in Germany

In many German families, there will be a Christmas wreath surrounded by green fir branches with four candles in it. On every Advent, people will light candles. When all four candles are lit, Christmas comes. Every Jesuit family in Germany has a Christmas tree and decorates it.

Unlike the luxurious banquet imagined by China people, the traditional German Christmas Eve dinner is usually a simple cold meal, usually noodles and sausages. At noon on February 25th, 65438, there was a big Christmas dinner. Housewives will cook many delicious Christmas dishes, usually carp, roast goose or delicious barbecue and baking cakes.
