In Germany Christmas celebrations start a lot earlier than in England. Most German families have an Adventskranz (a type of wreath). There are four candles on the Adventskranz and one is lit on each of the four Sundays leading up to Christmas day.
Do we have advent calenders here in Scotland? Can anyone talk about an advent calendar they have had at home?
What do you decorate your tree with? Do you have a real tree or an artificial tree? What do they have in Germany?
The Germans and Austrians often eat carp (Karpfen) for their Christmas meal.
This is usually followed by goose (der Weihnachtsgans).
