| Our tree this year |

| My hostfamily's tree 2011 |
Like the lights, Christmas trees in the US, tend to be more extravagant than the ones typically seen in Germany. They're taller. The branches are fuller. The ornaments are often less traditional (which I will cover more closely later). The lights twinkle and flash (sometimes). However, that's not to say German Christmas trees aren't beautiful. They're natural. Simple. Elegant. Traditionally, there aren't lights, but candles. Real ones. (Though, you can buy fake candles, which lessen the fire hazard.) They also aren't put up as early as in the US, which kind of makes them a little more special (but I loove having a tree in the living room all December long).
Bis morgen!
