From the hills surrounding the Barvarian Alps comes Father Winter, carrying an intricately carved staff from the woodworking capital of Germany, Oberammergau, where wood carvers have been perfecting their caft for centuries. A wonderful tradition of Oberammergau is the production of a passion play once every 10 years with local residents reenacting the Passion of Christ in gratitude for being spared from a plague long ago. The Bavarian Father Winter is bundled up in a fur-lined coat that swirls in the harsh alpine winds. He brings with him a tree that will make its presence known only on Christmas Eve, much to the delight of eager children! Hot chocolate and crisp, buttery cookies will warm him in each home as he goes from village to village delivering his Christmas message and toys!
