Yeah, things like that. :) Lebkuchen, Dominosteine, Spekulatius and so on...

We don't get that - all we get is Advent Calendars with chocolate that tastes like wax :(

And fruit cake, if we're lucky...

Fruit cake is nice.

Mmm, you should come to Germany for the christmas season some time. ^.^

Perhaps - it sounds a very magical place to be at that time of the year. All the snow and the tradition sounds amazing, particularly when combined with traditional markets and German confectionery. And fruit cake does indeed rock :D

Heh. If it's snow you're after, you should indeed come soon because in a couple of years, chances are there may not be any anymore. :P Well, up here at least - with the coastal climate, winters to be milder and summers cooler, whereas further down south, it'll (hopefully) still get sufficiently cold in winter for there to be snow.
