Summary: a good resource for understanding traditional German customs
Comment: This is a good resource for understanding the traditional and cultural aspects of German Christmas customs. It details the historical significance of the Christmas tree, decorations, and Father Christmas, identifies how the holiday is celebrated in today's Germany, and even includes recipes and music and lyrics to some popular German carols. The photographs are good and there are step-by-step instructions for building a gingerbread house. This book was listed in the Germany-Travel Section and I expected a more definitive work on traditional arts and crafts such as toy and ornament making. Unfortunately only 4 pages were devoted to this with vague desricptions of where manufacturing occurs. Those interested in German Christmas customs will find this to be an interesting and fact filled book.
