From out of it I come from the forest here, I must tell you Christmas is ...
something similar it seemed to me too. After Thanksgiving everywhere, people began their homes with lights and decorate Tannenbaeumen. At first glance it sounds quite normal, as we would do well in Germany. Reality is different: people Heller Tete Strassenzuege and glistening sky. The typical American just image, just as one might imagine. The neighbors have competitions of who has the brightest and most splendid house, which at all times Engergiekosten not included ...
Advent weeks went by very quickly. Christmas was never so fast for me door on. The gifts for my host family I have in all Last week even bought quickly, along with a few friends. Christmas in an American mall is a great experience: Everywhere the classic Christmas rush and the stress of shopping. All in all, it is not a German Christmas market to compare. Speaking of Christmas market. The city of Chemnitz has a partnership with a city here in Ohio. So it happened that my Local Coordinatorin with me to the "true German Christmas market, with real Germans and genuine German products (made in Germany) and, above all, real German bratwurst with French fries (the first time in more than six months), is gone.
However, Christmas Eve came and we went to the evening show, both in Germany. The "Weihnachtsfestmahl" but then ended with Tiefkuehlpizza. On nights of the week was Christmas and has been at and left their mark over the fireplace. Gifts are here every year until 25 December opened.
For me, the Father Christmas too. A new pair of trousers and a sweater, scarf and hat and has the left there. Over 35 guests or family members came to the Christmas party at our home. Until the night we played cards, ate, and tells.
Conclusion: Christmas in the U.S. is definitely an experience, just a bit too cheesy for me and shot at by the proper sense.
