Jede Kerze ist da, um einen Sonntag zu repr\u00e4sentieren. Am letzten Sonntag sind dann alle Kerzen\nangez\u00fcndet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, there are\nfour candles on a pretty shrub. Each candle is there to represent a Sunday. On\nthe last Sunday, all the candles are lit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Der Weihnachtsmarkt\/Christmas market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vor allem in M\u00fcnchen gibt es einen gro\u00dfen\nWeihnachtsmarkt. Hier kann man Spielzeughersteller und Metzger finden. Es ist\nimmer sehr voll, aber jetzt gibt es Weihnachtsm\u00e4rkte fast \u00fcberall auf der\nWelt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially in Munich,\nthere is a big Christmas market. Here you can find toy manufacturers and\nbutchers. It&#8217;s always crowded, but now there are Christmas markets almost\neverywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Der Christkind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kinder kriegen oft Geschenke am 6. Dezember,\nweil hier der Nikolaus gekommen ist. Normalerweise kriegen sie Schokolade in\nihren Schuhen. Sie kriegen auch Geschenke am 24. Dezember (nicht am 25. Dezember!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children often get\npresents on the 6th of December because Nicholas came here. Usually, they get\nchocolate in their shoes. They also get presents on December 24th (not December\n25th!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weihnachtskrippen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manche Leute bauen eine kleine Krippe. Die werden\naufgebaut und sie sind sehr gro\u00df. Sie zeigen die Geburt von Jesus und sind\nnormalerweise aus Holz gebaut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people build a\nsmall crib. They are built and they are very big. They show the birth of Jesus\nand are usually made of wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bescherung<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Geschenke, die Kinder kriegen, werden am\n24. Dezember aufgemacht. Es hei\u00dft \u2018Bescherung\u2019. Bescherung hei\u00dft, dass es von\nGott kommt, weil viele Kinder immer noch glauben, dass Geschenke vom Christkind\nkommen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gifts for children are\nbe opened on the 24th of December. It&#8217;s called \u2018Bescherung\u2019. \u2018Bescherung\u2019 means\nthat it comes from God because many children still believe that gifts come from\nthe Christ Child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Isabelle (Year 9) The Advent wreath\/Adventskranz Normalerweise gibt es vier Kerzen auf einem h\u00fcbschen Strauch.
