The first weekend of emergence is the beginning of the Christmas season in Bavaria. Bayerisch Eisenstein is a village deep inside the Bavarian forest on the border with the Czech Republic and this is the season. Decorations will start to appear on the people 's house and at the man' s house this weekend. Little color is known here, but white light is quite widely used. A row of white light draped around the balcony, or a row of cascades such as an ice pillar, or a row draped around an outdoor tree. Green autumn decoration, pine cone and candle are decorated. On Saturday there is a store open market that sells decorations, gifts, cakes, biscuits, homemade Schnapps etc to our local village hall Waidlerhuette. Women in the village will burn a huge amount for every event and will be ashamed of most Wisconsin markets. They even made their own cookbooks.
In the first weekend of Advent, the city's Christmas market is spreading widely. Nuremberg, Munich, Regensburg, Passau are all in a nice market and I sampled everything two years ago (especially Gluehwein! Please make sure we can recommend them to visitors You can purchase gifts at the big Christmas market, but the main features of most Christmas markets, especially the small ones are social - family and group people gather and glue vines and local wooden huts Various specialty store clubs, society, farms, small-scale producers to be offered etc. The darkness goes down and the market continues until midnight in the evening In small towns and villages just in the middle of the week, I have my own Christmas market in one day.
December 6th is the name of St. Nicholas. However, in the evening of December 5, in fact Nikolaus' # 39; coming with his little friend, the small devil called 'Krampus'. Nicolaus brings small gifts, nuts, oranges and apples to the village household. Sometimes, children recite poems and play music for him. Nicolaus enumerates the good and bad things the child did during the year, often in rhyme. Krampus may punish them if they are particularly bad year-round! The tradition of Bayerisch Eisenstein is "Nigel". On the evening of 5th December, children and adults appear on the streets, some of them wearing clams costumes. Children have to escape, so I am enjoying this.
