Do you truly believe in a German Christmas Pickle? Some Americans think, that we, here in Germany really...
Watch this wonderful American film about a little Christmas museum in New Braunfels/Sofienmuseum in the USA - and they tell everybody that this is a very old German custom....
What do you think about it?
NOW, LISTEN!
YOU REALLY GET T H R E E S T A R S IF YOU WRITE DOWN WHAT THE AMERICANS BELIEVE ABOUT THE PICKLE AND THE GERMAN CHRISTMAS TRADITION....
celebrate Christmas Christmas Eve especially German heritage old world traditions comes from German culture decorating tree.. hanging of stockings
who could resist we browse through the ... to discover it would change the tradition pickle legend says it....
now I would like to share a video with you that I found today. I think this is one of the best things I have ever seen in my life.
This is a fight, a battle of dancers. Two different groups
1) two American free-style step-dancers with their music (tenor saxophone) 2) three celtic dancers with their music (violin)
These two groups show us a staged street fight.
Now in the end we can't say which group is better, because they are both excellent, we could only say... that, perhaps, we like group a) better because... or we like group b)better, because...
My opinion? I think they are the best dancers - they just dance wonderfully!!! Write what you think about it!
