Chistmas in Germany
Learning German language will expose travelers to a wide range of opportunities for experiencing the German culture, especially during the holiday season. There are many customs and traditions associated with Christmas in Germany and other German-speaking countries. Below several of these customs and traditions are listed.
The German Christmas tree season dates back to the country's pre-Christian era, when the people who inhabited the country known as Germany would celebrate the seasonal solstices and equinoxes. The Germans used to decorate evergreen trees during the wintertime because they represented life and greenery that survived despite the bitter winter cold. The tradition included decorating the tree with candles to represent light, in addition to fruits and nuts. When the Germans emigrated to other places throughout the globe, they brought the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree with them.
In Germany, tourists can also visit Christmas markets, also known as Christkindlmärkte. These are large outdoor markets that are associated with Christmas during the Advent period. Sights to see at these Christmas markets include elaborate nativity scenes and decorated Christmas trees. These markets also sell toys, ornaments, and other items like Christmas cookies and gingerbread. There are several of these markets now that exist all over the world, including many places in Europe and North America.
The legend of Santa Claus has its roots in the story of Saint Nicholas, who is rumored to have given people gifts and to have performed several miracles. On the evening of December 5th, children in Germany leave a shoe or a boot outside their door to collect the gifts and treats that Saint Nicholas will leave them if they have been good all year. If they were not sufficiently good, they may receive a tree branch in their shoe instead. In some places, however, he came along with his servant Ruprecht, who was supposed to punish the children by beating them if they were naughty. As the legend has it, sometimes Ruprecht would come with a sack to take the mischievous children back to the forest with him.
These are just some of the German holiday traditions, both ancient and modern. People who begin learning German language will find it helpful to educate themselves about these traditions and customs so they can become more familiar with the culture they are learning about.

Winter $19.95 A taste for winter, a love of winter — “a mind for winter” — is for many a part of the modern human condition. International bestselling author Adam Gopnik does for this storied season what he did for the City of Light in the New York Times bestseller Paris to the Moon . Here he tells the story of winter in five parts: Romantic Winter, Radical Winter, Recuperative Winter, Recreational Winter, and Remembering Winter. In this stunningly beautiful meditation, Gopnik touches on a kaleidoscope of subjects, from the German romantic landscape to the politics of polar exploration to the science of ice. And in the end, he pays homage to what could be a lost season — and thus, a lost collective cultural history — due to the threat of global warming. Through delicate, enchanting, and intricate narrative detail, buoyed by his trademark gentle wit, Gopnik draws us into another magical world and makes us look at it anew. |

German Winter Warfare (Special Series, No. 18) $29.24 Issued by the Military Intelligence Division, United States War Department. From the introduction: "This work is substantially a translation of an enemy document which has been edited in the style and format of War Department publications and rearranged in order to present the material in a more logical order than in the original text. All of the illustrations, which were rough sketches in the original, have been redrawn, and have been improved as much as possible. The handbook was based on the experiences of the German Army during the first two winters of the war in Russia. Essentially it tells a story of efforts to solve two vital problems of winter warfare: mobility and shelter. The handbook was published by the German High Command on 5 August 1942, apparently in a great hurry, in order to help the German forces to prepare for a third rigorous winter on the invaded territory of a formidable foe. The material, evidently collected from the various branches of the German Armed Forces, was put together badly and in some places was almost unintelligible. A considerable portion of the material was in the form of appendices under headings that duplicated section captions in the main text. These appendices have been merged into their logical places. Some material which had no special application to winter warfare was eliminated." Includes 92 illustrations. Please note these are copies of important historical documents that have been extensively cleaned up by the publisher. While every effort has been made to make these books accessible they sometimes reflect the nature of the age of the originals including the typefaces, print quality and occassional marginalia. These are not poor quality OCR documents with missing pages or tracts illegible text. |

Winter Shoes in Springtime $19.32 Beryl Smeeton was that rare combination -- an intrepid traveller and a writer of entertaining prose -- and she made astonishing journeys as a young woman in the 1930s. Going home alone, overland from India, mostly by bus and third class train, she explored Persia (now Iran), where she was greeted with great kindness, and wrangled an unusual trip through southern Russia. She then crossed Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway with her brother (who, to her disgust, insisted on travelling first class) for a visit to Japan and Hong Kong. From there, on her most extraordinary trek, she roamed by riverboat, bus, train, truck and on foot through China and into Burma. Later, Beryl married Miles Smeeton and brought to their adventures aboard Tzu Hang the same high energy, insatiable curiosity and sense of humour that shine through this, her delightful first book about her solo travels. |

Winter Without Shoes $15.64 This book could never have been written, except for the nudging of my husband, and the help of my boys bringing back memories of their childhood. Steve has helped me so much with the computer work; I was born in 1933 in a family that could not afford to send me to college. At that time, college was for rich people, but when I graduated from school, I was well trained, because our teachers were strict and taught us well. We hope that our true stories will encourage the readers that they can overcome poverty and all of the things that would distract them from accomplishing their goals in life. We have opened our lives before the world, the good and the not so good. But with love in the family and trust in God that all things work together for good to those that love him. |

The German Army on the Somme, 1914-1916 $26.47 By drawing on a very large number of German sources, many of them previously unpublished, Jack Sheldon throws new light on a familiar story. In an account filled with graphic descriptions of life and death in the trenches, the author demonstrates that the dreadful losses of 1st July were a direct consequence of meticulous German planning and preparation. Although the Battle of the Somme was frequently a close-run affair, poor Allied co-ordination and persistence in attacking weakly on narrow fronts played into the hands of the German commanders, who were able to rush forward reserves, maintain the overall integrity of their defenses and so continue a successful delaying battle until the onset of winter ultimately neutralized the considerable Allied superiority in men and material. |
