Weihnachts Kaffeetrinken


Coffee time- a pyramid
Originally uploaded by Clint & April.
Every year in December we have a Christmas coffee time at the church. I know I have written about how coffee is a big thing here in Germany. It's also part of the Christmas tradition of the church here. It's a nice time that we all come together with pretty Christmas decorations and yummy cake and cookies and drink coffee and enjoy the fellowship together.

Another part of the tradition is to sing Christmas songs and other songs out of the church songbook. Also there are a few people who will read poems or read funny stories.

This year the small group that I sing with sang two Christmas songs as well. We have been meeting together on a more regular basis (every Monday night) and practicing for our upcoming Lieder Abend (song evening) on March 4th.
