Xmas in Germany - Weihnachten

12/24

I spent Christmas at Florian's dad in Heidelberg. We celebrated Christmas on the evening of the 24th December, a day called Heiligabend ("holy eve") not on the 25th. Florian's dad plays the guitar and we sang a few carols before the kids opened their presents. There was even a light snowy layer on the trees to complement the Christmas mood.

While I know that I like most German sweets, the Christmas cookies are really tasty! And I had my fill for sure!

Overall, very nice evening.
