The people attend church ser­ vice at 5 p.m., then come home . at six when the children find their gifts under the Christmas tree. Unlike Canadian children, however, the German boys and girls .don’t have to unwrap parcels to find out what Santa has brought. They see them when they burst through the door. Christmas decorations don’t go up until the last moment. The trees are never lit before six, partly because of the power Shortage and partly because of tradition. Many homes display a wreath in their window in mem­ ory of soldiers who have died. • A wreath of evergreens with four candles is erected in the home early in December and the first' candle is lit on the first Sunday. Each Sunday an­ other candle is burned and on Christmas day, the fourth one is lit. Santa Claus in Germany is much the same as he is here. He rides in a sleigh p.ulled by rein­ deer, wears a red and white costume with, black boots and' i has long, white -whiskers, some­ times stretching to his knees. December 25 and 26 are days of festivity. German families gather to have their turkey, duck or goose, then attend a community dance at 6 p.m. The visiting and feasting carries through December 26. The German people have a special Christmas cake, too, and although Mrs. Fritz couldn’t de­scribe it in English, it’s not a fruit cake and it isn’t as sweet i have cold turkey, cold plum (pudding and ice cream,” says iMrs. Lance. Mrs. Lance’s husband, a mem- iber of the RCAF at Centralia, nays Christmas is celebrated in I South Africa, where he hails from, much the same as it is in Australia.
