German Christmas Weihnachten Traditions — Weihnachtsmarkt Glühwein Lebkuchen
German Christmas vocabulary and traditions: Weihnachten (Christmas — literally "holy nights"), Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas market — Germany's gift to the world), Lebkuchen (gingerbread), Glühwein (mulled wine), Advent (the 4-week period before Christmas), Nikolaustag (December 6th — St. Nicholas Day), Bescherung (the gift-giving moment), Stille Nacht (Silent Night — written in Austria). In Bavaria and Austria, the Christkind (Christ child) brings gifts on Christmas Eve, not Weihnachtsmann (Father Christmas).
German Christmas = Weihnachten 🎄 And Germany invented many traditions the world now celebrates! Christmas trees (Weihnachtsbaum), Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmarkt), Glühwein, Lebkuchen... In southern Germany, the Christkind (not Santa!) brings gifts! #GermanChristmas #CrackGerman
