German traditions include the Nativity,
advent calendars (chocolate is certainly our preference but they also sell advent calendars with cosmetics, toys and beer that you can enjoy for 24 days)
visits from friends (Ashley Wilkinson and our former student ward member, Megan Hodun),
Frankfurt's Christmas Market, 
including Potato Pancakes,
(clever decorations at My Zeil. See the deer jumping into the "inward trumpet formed deformation" - architectural term for a funnel to the sky)
Ward Christmas Party included sweet Primary Nativity scene.
Brother Tom gave us tickets to "Dickens' By Candlelight" at the International Theater. Wonderful performance including mostly American actors. (we were early for a change)
Rachel and her girls sent us this personalized decoration, including "Love, Bella", "We miss you" etc written on the stars. I put it up for a good 3 months.
One day we were Facetiming with Condies and our neighbors, the Larsens, visited and performed Christmas carols on their instruments. Wow how they've grown!
