WEIHNACHTSMARKTE-CHRISTMAS MARKETS market: der Markt, die Markte Christmas market: der Weihnachtsmarkt, die Weihnachtsmarkte Ni.irnberg / Nuremberg Let's go to the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt! The festive season is here and Germany's Christmas markets are opening. There are about 2 ,500 - the most famous being the Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg. It celebrates the Advent season in tradition and reflection. World famous Every year, Nuremberg's Christmas market attracts over two miJJion visitors from all over the world. The market opens on the Friday before the first Advent on Nuremberg's main market square and can be visited until December 24. Nuremberg delicacies, merry-go-rounds, mulled wine: Everyone gets into the Christmas mood here. The Nurnberg Christkind officially opens the Christmas market on the Friday before Advent starts. And before Christmas she has over 150 'official duties' including visiting hospitals, old people's homes and children's nurseries! She also has to give TV interviews and visit other cities. Other Christmas Customs Of course, there are many other Germanic Christmas contributions. For instance, it is a real treat to wander through Germany's annual Christmas markets - the most famous being Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt- to see, taste, and smell all the Christmas goodies, from Lebkuchen (gingerbread) to Stollen (fruit bread). Marzipan, made with almonds and sugar, is also a German treat. And the aroma of GliJhwein ("glow wine") will warm you up even before you actually drink this German version of hot mulled wine. .

  • Dec. 6 and Between 10 A.M
    The Beacon In thy light shall we see light. Psalm 36:9 December 2020 ~ January 15, 2021 Fear Not by the Rev. Abigail Crozier Nestlehutt Every generation has its Christmas movies and television specials, I imagine. Mine took the form of cartoons and stop-motion productions with characters like the Grinch, Charlie Brown, Heat Miser, Albert Mouse, Rudolph, and Frosty. As a child, I used to watch each program with my siblings, sitting through all the commercials for Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and York Peppermint Patties. These simple programs were a highlight of the holiday season. As an adult I bought the DVDs so that I would be prepared when I became a parent. Most of those shows seem dated now, and besides, I can stream all of them on my phone whenever I want. Some of their special allure has faded, but they remain the background soundtrack in my mind this time of year. Each one tells a different story. One is about a green monster who tries to steal Christmas, one has to do with a boy who does not believe, another with a mouse who does not believe. Then there are the misfits who save a foggy Christmas and a snowman made magical by Christmas snow. But also, they all tell the same story. No matter what the obstacles are, despite the disbelief and misbehavior of humanity, nothing can stop Christmas from coming. There is always reason to hope, and love always wins. That is the story a spotlighted Linus tells a dejected Charlie Brown from a darkened school stage using the King James Version of the Bible: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
