German Christmas Decorations We’ve Never Had Before! 🇩🇪 from Erzgebirge + Käthe Wohlfahrt

We've bought a few new traditional and truly authentic German Christmas decorations this month to really make us feel at home here in Germany as Americans. Come inside our home in the Bavarian mountains to see some of the beautiful, handcrafted decorations we love - like a Weihnachtspyramide (a Christmas pyramid or windmill), a Schwibboge (a German candle arch), wooden ornaments from Käthe Wohlfahrt, Nusskraker (Nutcracker) and a Räuchermann (smoking figure) from Erzgebirge (the Ore Mountains)! I also share the history of these items and do a fun unboxing of the Christmas ornaments with the kids.

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.
