\n Adventskaffee an der Carleton University\n <\/h1>\n \n \n \n\n

Thanks to everyone who came out to Friday’s Adventskaffee in SP 306…and with Pl\u00e4tzchen (Christmas cookies), coffee, and Haribo, who could resist? <\/p>\n\n\n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

But it wasn’t all fun and games.  There was some serious learning involved too.  For instance, did you know that there are 2500+ Christmas markets in Germany every year; and that the Steiezelmarkt in Dresden alone attracts crowds of more than two million?!  Or did you know that, the night before December 6th, German children (the “Kinder” in Kindergarten) clean their boots and put them outside the door so St. Nikolaus can fill them with goodies (nuts, oranges, and candy) or not-so-goodies (sticks or coal)?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
