Inside timber-framed cottages, families gather for Christmas Eve—Heiligabend. A mother in her dark woolen dress arranges heart-shaped lebkuchen cookies on blue-painted ceramic plates. Her daughter, wearing a simple linen pinafore, polishes her boots hoping Sankt Nikolaus will fill them with treats.

The father returns from the Christmas market, his wool coat dusted with snow, carrying sugared almonds, dried oranges studded with cloves, and a fresh goose wrapped in cloth. The scent of Glühwein and roasted chestnuts still clings to his scarf.

As church bells ring across the valley, the family sits together for their Christmas feast—roasted goose with apple-sausage stuffing, red cabbage simmering with spices, and potato dumplings shaped by hand. Candles flicker on the advent wreath, all four now glowing.

After dinner, the doors to the parlor open—revealing the Tannenbaum for the first time, decorated with glass baubles, sugar plums, tiny wooden nutcrackers, and real candles casting golden light across hand-carved angels.

This is Heiligabend. A night of warmth, family, and quiet magic in the old German countryside.
