December 24, 2002 Christmas Eve in Rothenburg, Germany - Santa Claus came [2] (2002/12/24)
German cooking Kaeseschnitzel dish with chicken and cheese
Peter is cooking Christmas Eve dinner.
A relative was visiting from Munich.
Even I, a non-drinker, had a little beer!
Children's long-awaited Christmas Eve night
Close relatives gathered and the meal began with food prepared by Peter I asked stefanie in advance, "When do you give the gifts to the kids?" I asked, Right after the meal," he said. That way the adults can get some rest." So I also gave him a gift I had brought from Japan.
Santa Claus rings the doorbell.
As we were sitting together after dinner, the doorbell rang. When the father says, "It's Santa," the children dash to the front door. But there is no Santa outside the front door. When the children opened the door to the living room, there was a pile of presents! Compared to when I was a kid, the gifts piled up like a mountain. Very nice presentation by the parents. Is this the German way?
Piles and piles of Christmas presents
Children delighted to find a toy walkie-talkie But maybe it was Peter who was really happy. Because the kids would say, "Papa Papa (PP), this is Oscar Papa (OP)," "Papa Papa (PP), this is Tango Papa (TP)." Whenever he was called, he answered on his own radio. The joy on his face! I told him, "Looks like Peter got the best present." He said, "Yes!
He wants his children to be certified in amateur radio in the future.
In Germany, angels help Santa Claus. Legend has it that it carries gifts for children. They say this Angel is the young lady next door.
