Have you ever wondered what Christmas was like in a different country? Well, I am going to tell you what Christmas is like in Germany!

A Christmas tradition in Germany is they like to make Christmas cookies called Plaetzchen in their language. The people of Germany love the Plaetzchen cookies that the housewives make to celebrate Christmas. They also have traditions like we do in America by making gingerbread houses and putting up nativity scenes. Another Christmas tradition that they have is to make hand carved wooden nutcracker that they call Nussknacker in their language. They also decorate with Christmas pyramids that they call Weihnachtspyramiden.

You may be wondering why I chose this country! I chose this country because I am part German and I wanted to know more about it.

These are some of the Christmas traditions and facts of Germany.

I hope you learned some new facts about Christmas in a different country!
