Germany






Decorating the tree is an important part of the Christmas celebration. Besides using ornaments, lights, and tinsel, the German people also hang cookies (shaped like people, animals, hearts, or stars ) on the branches.

A Christmas Game in Germany: A hat, scarf, gloves, knife and fork are needed to play this game. You also need a dice and a wrapped chocolate bar. Players take turns throwing the dice. When one gets a double, he quickly puts on the hat, scarf and gloves and tries to open the bar, using only the knife and fork. He eats as much as he can, still using only the knife and the fork. Meanwhile, the other players, keep throwing the dice.If another player throws a double, then it is their turn to take the hat, scarf, mittens and put them on to take his turn at the bar. This game goes on until the bar has been eaten. http://www.saskschools.ca/~gregory/chr/germany.html


We followed a pattern and made Christmas trees out of pasta wheels.
