Content: Almost every town has a Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas market) leading up to the holiday. On Heiligabend (Christmas Eve) a Weihnachtsbaum (Christmas tree) is either bought or cut down and brought into the house to be decorated. The family attends a church service, which usually contains a Krippenspiel (nativity play) and afterwards returns home to open the presents placed under the tree. German Cuisine
German food varies in the various regions of the state. For example, the southern regions of Swabia and Bavaria are known for similar foods with nations like Austria and Switzerland. The main types of meat eaten in the larger Germany include pork, poultry, and beef although the most popular one is pork. The meat is not usually eaten directly but mostly in the form of a sausage. In fact, there are more than a whopping 1,500 varieties of sausages that come from Germany. Breakfast is usually a serious affair since it includes an assortment of bread, honey, boiled eggs, cheese, and other foods.
