Kultur 10

I liked the article on Christmas in Germany a lot. First and foremost, I now consider Germans to be among some of the braver of the world's people. Why? For their apparent affinity for fruitcake. Here, fruitcake carries the long-standing reputation of being akin to that of a squishy brick of less than appetizing fruit-chunks. It's quite possible that fruitcake over in Germany is different (and hopefully better) than it is here, but on the off chance that it is the SAME horrendous dessert, I commend the Germans' spirit and dedication to Christmas time. The aspect of all of the wooden huts set up during this time seems pretty neat as well. I remember taking a field trip in Deutsch 2 in high school to Chicago for some German related Christmas time activities, and we visited something much like what is described in the article.
