Similar to the tradition of caroling, Germans also love singing Christmas songs, varying from cute songs aimed at little ones, such as “Die Weihnachtsbäckerei” (the Christmas bakery), to tranquil songs such as “Leise rieselt der Schnee”. The song title “Leise rieselt der Schnee” translates to quietly/softly the snow trickles down, or falls. Here's how it goes:“Leise rieselt der Schnee,Still und starr ruht der See,Weihnachtlich glänzet der Wald:Freue Dich, Christkind kommt bald. In den Herzen ist’s warm,Still schweigt Kummer und Harm,Sorge des Lebens verhallt:Freue Dich, Christkind kommt bald. Overall, the idyllic setting, joyful anticipation for Christmas, and beautiful melody of “Leise rieselt der Schnee” tunes everyone into the Christmas spirit.
