Christmas is a family event in Germany, and preparations begin with the Adventskranz. Christmas decorations are generally still very traditional - no garlands or balloons - with fir branches, candles and wooden Christmas figurines, which can be bought at the Weihnachtsmarkt. Typical Christmas baking includes Stollen or Christstollen (a rich fruit bread), Lebkuchen (spicy honey biscuits made from a recipe that goes back to the Middle Ages), and lots of biscuits in the shape of stars, bells, etc. The decorated Christmas tree should only be seen by the children on Heiligabend (Christmas Eve), when presents are given out. The erster Weihnachtstag (Christmas Day) is a public holiday in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It tends to be a quiet day for family get-togethers, often with a traditional lunch of goose or carp.
