The small German community in Texas had been preparing for Weihnachten for weeks. The snowflakes gently fell onto the dusty town, casting a magical spell over the residents. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies and the sound of laughter and chatter. At the small farmhouse of the Müller family, the children were busy decorating the Christmas tree, their faces aglow with excitement. Outside, their parents were busy preparing a humble feast, consisting of roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and steaming hot vegetables. As the evening drew to a close, the family gathered around the table to share stories and laughter. They gave thanks for the blessings of the year and looked forward to the coming spring. The night was filled with joy, warmth, and togetherness, a true Weihnachtsgeschenk (Christmas gift).
