There are also lots of boar and duck that roam around both here and on the mainland. Potatoes and red cabbage, while available here, are also extremely popular throughout Germany.
Here are the candles burning on a Christmas tree. As the candle wax runs out, they went out on their own. We did have to keep a close eye on it, though!
While I enjoyed experiencing a "real German" Christmas, I did miss my family back home as well.
