Christmas in Germany is celebrated with many traditions that are unique to Germany. The German festive season starts at the end of November or early December with the Advent celebrations. Typically, families decorate an Advent wreath with four red candles. On every Advent Sunday, one more candle is lit until all candles are alight to announce the imminent birth of Christ. During the festive season many cities and towns hold Christmas markets which open usually frmo the beginning of December until Christmas eve. On the 6th of December, families celebrate "Nikolaustag" (Saint Nicholas Day). Children put their shoes, stockings or plates outside, so if Saint Nicholas does not come into the house, he still can leave some fruits, nuts and sweets for the children. The Christmas tree in the living room is put up usually only on the morning of Christmas Eve. However, houses and gardens are decorated with festive lights throughout the festive season, just the tree comes last! According to tradition, the "Christkind" (Christ child or Baby Jesus) or the "Weihnachtsmann" (Santa/Father Christmas) will place the wrapped gifts and parcels under the Christmas tree whilst young children usually are not allowed to enter the living room before the celebrations in the evening. As you can see, celebrating Christmas has a long standing tradition in Germany. It is a very special family time. Our limited edition Christmas steins do not just incorporate Christmas traditions, they also bring the warmth and love to your house during the dark and cold time of the year.
