German Christmas trees are very

beautiful. They were decorated with apples,

paper roses, and wafers in different

shapes. Most decorations were

symbols of new-born Christ.

The Story of the post office in Christkindl is that a man was sick and came here. He carved a

figure of Jesus in a tree and prayed to it. Then he wasn’t sick anymore, so it became a famous

story. This is where the post office is now.

Traditional mealtimes often involve a lot of early preparation in the weeks prior to

Weihnachten. Special meats or fish(especially Karpfen), baked breads, fancy cakes, baked

apples, and special cookies are generally made. Drinks include beer, wine, and mulled

cider.
