Hey everybody! Chirstmas in German! THings with new family are amazing, they celebrate Christmas a little bit different to us in Australia. Of couse in Germany it snows for it is winter; compared to the warm hot summer climate in Australia at Christmas time.

Germans celebrate Avdentszeit (advent) which begins 4 sundays before Christmas. During Adventszeit they all bake cakes, and sweets, and derate their Christmas trees. They also send flowers and cards to their families. Most German houses, churches, and german schools, and shops have Adventszeit displays. In Avdentszeit their are four candles! One is lit for every sunday leading up to Christmas. Oh! and the children get these things called Adventskalender with 24 windows and every of one of the day's windows are full of sweets and little toys, it truly is wonderful!

As you can probobly guess it is snowing here, so instead of going to the beach in December we are skiing in German. It is so different. And you know how we call him Santa Claus in german they call him Sankt Nikolaus.
