Germany

Step into the warm welcome of a traditional German Christmas.  Here, where the tree decorating custom began, you’ll find an evergreen illuminated by real wax candles and sparkling with handblown glass ornaments.  At its top, a smiling Angel of Nuremberg invites all who pass to share in the country’s rich traditions of the season.  Enjoy a slice of sweet stollen bread, crack a walnut in the Nutcracker’s mouth, and then light an Advent candle when listening to “Silent Night” or, as it is known in its original German, “Stille Nacht.”
