“The real life and spirit of this magical elf (精灵) lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of 6 people who believe in the joy that giving to others brings.

meal is an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine.
Germans love to decorate their houses at Christmas. In the windows many houses will have colored
pictures of paper or plastic which look beautiful from the outside at night. Father Christmas brings presents

found under the Christmas tree. One person in the family will ring a bell and call everyone to come to the
room. On Christmas Day, fish or goose will be cooked.
