Hey guys, I've got some Xmassy stuff for you!
Silent Night in German (St. Thomas Boys Choir)

Parody of a Germany Christmas Song (Morgen Kinder wird's was geben)
this song was first re-written by the writer Erich Kästner, but this here is a different parody version (including some of Kästner's lines), I've given a (wobbly) translation below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO_X4j6PKFM
morgen kinder wirds nichts geben
morgen kriegt iher nichts geschenkt,
Kids, there won't be any presents tomorrow
mutter schenkte euch das leben,
your mother gave you your life
das genügt, wenn man's bedenkt.
and that's enough of a gift if you think about it.
einmal kommt auch eure zeit,
one day your time will come
morgen ist's noch nicht so weit.
but tomorrow's not that day.
Wir solln euch den Hals voll schenken,
we're expected to shove gifts down your throat,
sagt, was bildet Ihr Euch ein?
who do you think you are?
Könnt weder arbeiten noch denken
You can neither work nor think,
und wollt doch bescheret sein.
but you want to get presents anyway.
Ich weiß, dass Ihr Euch trotzdem freut,
I know you're looking forward to it anyway
morgen ist ein Tag wie heut.
Tomorrrow's just another day
Und Eure gemalte Grütze,
Your ugly paintings,
liebe Kinder habt Erbarmen,
(dear kids have mercy)
hängt blöd rum, ist zu nichts nütze,
hang around pointlessly and are totally useless
das könnt Ihr Euch wirklich sparen.
you can cut the painting
Ohne Euren Maltrieb,
Without your urge to paint
ham wer Euch noch mal so lieb.
We like you double as much
children cry

hubby and me took some pics of the Nuremberg Christmas Market. Some of them are a bit blurred
Stalls at the Christkindelsmarkt + Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche)
Schöner Brunnen (The Beautiful Fountain/Well)
Horses
Zwetschgenmännla (little figures made from prunes
Bratwurst in a bun (hubby's hands)
Sleepy with a cup of Glühwein (mulled wine)
Christmas tree decorations
Traditional candy (drops)
Sleepy buying Lebkuchen (ginger bread)
More Lebkuchen

glad you liked them, B-Mental
what's 'the Sconny way'?
Sconny is like a nickname for Wisconsin, USA. I wish I had a camera, I would take photos from my days in Germany and scan them, if I could find my photo albums...they are so cool.

here's some more Xmassy links
a web cam of Nuremberg Christmas Market. (you can click where it says der letzten 30 Minuten to get a fast forward of the past 30 minutes. gives you a good impression of how crowded it can get

Opening of the Christmasmarket by the Christkindel (Christmas Angel/ Baby Jesus; = the woman in a golden angel costume). It's in German and a bit lengthy, but if you like Xmas kitsch it's just what you need
by the way, the Christkindel gives the opening speech from the top of the church you can see in the pics.

Merry Christmas (Frohe Weihnachten) to you, too.
I always thought it was 'Frohliche Weinachten'?

both are OK, I think
yeah the language kind of progresses...I haven't been there in a while, but when I was there we kept repeating the word wunderbar whenever a german speaker said it...then one young lady told me they now say wunderfol..or wundervol...can't remember the spelling, and that only geeks said wunderbar...oh well.

I love Krapfen
I studied German for 3 years at school.
I live not far from Sudtirol
During the summer, but not only, my city and most of all the nearby lake, become a German colony, which includes bilingual signs and menus
The Christmas markets we had in Manchester were impressively similar to those.
dead on the inside, i've got nothing to prove
keep me alive and give me something to lose
heehee, yep, there's a nice Xmas market in Birmingham, too, where you can buy Glühwein and Stollen at outrageous pricesI love Krapfen

Foooood...Caaaannddy...the gingerbread looks so rich and I didn't know that there's more than one kind! I'd lick the screen but I know it's filthy
I'm in love with the cute prune man on the moon....
