German Christmas
by Renate Kheim
(Boulder,Colorado)
Yes, we have real Christmas trees and real candles, not false ones.
Every room has a door, so the parents can put up the Christmas tree before the evening of the 24th and the children can not see it earlier.
The presents are not wrapped.
On "Heiligabend" a bell rings, the door opens and the children see the lit Christmas tree, what is like a wonder.
We have the end of October now and we talk not about Christmas yet.
