In Germany, households decorate their homes with Christmas trees and lights. Families bake cookies together and children share them. They also have an Advent calendar tradition where a new window is opened each day of December leading up to Christmas. On Christmas Eve, families eat foods like stollen bread, roast goose, potatoes, coleslaw, and cheese pies. Christmas markets are popular places to find crafts and visit St. Nicholas on December 6th, where he leaves sweets for children.
