Christmas in different countrys(jõulud erinevates maades)
Some homes in Germany have several Christmas trees, and in all towns across Germany,
they can be seen glittering and glowing.
In Germany they hang up advent wreaths of Holly with four red candles in the center. They
light one candle each Sunday and last on Christmas Eve. Children count the days until
Christmas using an Advent calendar. They open one window each day and find a Christmas
picture inside.
In Germany the traditional visitor is the Christkindl who is the Christ Child's messenger. She
is a beautiful fair-haired girl with a shining crown of candles who visits each house with a
basket of presents.
In some homes a room is locked up before Christmas. On Christmas Eve the children go to
bed but are woken up at midnight by their parents and taken down to the locked room. The
door is opened and they see the tree all lit up, with piles of parcels on little tables.
