German Christmas carols lyrics - colorful

German Christmas carols – texts for children

Christmas carols lyrics are omnipresent

Every year – so it is said – the Christ child comes. But not only the Christ child is a must at Christmas time, too the most beautiful Christmas carols belong to. These have a long tradition because Christmas carols have been written and sung in the churches of Europe since the early Middle Ages. Today at Christmas time you can hear Christmas songs almost everywhere on the streets, on the radio and still in the church.

Children’s Christmas

Since the song lyrics are often not very difficult or long in relation to the holiday, Christmas carols are suitable for kindergarten. In kindergarten, children learn Christmas carols quickly and have a lot of fun singing happy songs together. German Christmas carols are also sung later in primary school or in music lessons at higher levels. The older the children get and English is added as a school subject, the more likely they are to have fun when Christmas carols are sung in English. Famous examples are "Jingle Bells" or "We wish you a merry christmas".

The little star and the Christmas forest

The little star and the Christmas forest

It is most beautiful in the forest at Christmas time. No, most mysterious. The little star heard this in its heavenly place. He wanted to get to know that himself and one evening he hopped down to earth again. It ended up in the fir tree, which had its place next to a rock and two benches at the entrance to the forest. It was nice here and quiet, but not too quiet. Animals visited the old tree again and again, and sometimes people came up from the small town.
"This is a really good place," muttered the little star. "I want to stay here for a while."
"It’s my place too," the old owl whispered to him. “I spend many of my nights here. But I have never seen you before. Who are you and why are you shining brighter than my eyes? "
"I’m the little star," the little star said. "It’s my job to shine."
"I am the Eichhorn," whispered another voice from the trunk below him. "I also live here and take a break from my hibernation."
"We too, we too," cried the little hedgehog and the little wood mouse that had met at the foot of the fir.
"Your light woke me up," the hedgehog growled and the wood mouse said, friendlier than its prickly friend:
“Hibernation is boring. Thank you for luring me out of my cave with your light. I always like adventure well. ”
"That is known." The owl smiled. She knew the little forest mouse’s thirst for adventure too well, since she had tried in vain to hunt it. But now she was full.
"Adventure? What is that? ”But the little star was surprised. "Am I one?"
Now all forest animals smiled. This little star was probably still a very small star that knew little about the world and life on earth.
"Can you say so," the squirrel finally giggled.
"A big one," said the hedgehog.
"A light one," called the wood mouse. "A very bright one."
"A crazy one," said the owl. "A star that sits in a tree must be very adventurous."
The little star nodded. Then he was an adventure?
"Great!" He said. And if it’s okay with you, I’ll stay with you for a while and wait for the next adventure here. It’s called Christmas and I want to find that here. It should have given the forest many festive secrets, that’s how I heard it. ”
"Good idea." The owl struggled to keep from laughing. "I welcome you and I believe that with one star our forest will be the most mysterious and solemn Christmas forest ever."
The little star was happy, even if he hadn’t quite understood the owl’s words. But it had to be clever words, he read that on the faces of the other animals. And because he was so happy, he made a little more effort and sent more of his silver starlight rays out into the night.
So it happened that the forest and the fields all around glowed and shone in a particularly mysterious and ceremonial way at night this Christmas and that many people and animals came to visit during these weeks and – like the little star – here in the forest Looking for Christmas.

Therefore, for many, Christmas has just become a time when people give and receive presents. Unfortunately, the meaning and the story behind it are lost, making the whole festival increasingly unimportant.

11 special Christmas markets in Munich 2019

11 places in Munich where you can watch fireworks on New Year’s Eve

"Let go for a mulled wine" – As soon as WhatsApp groups are opened for this plan, you can be sure where you are going anyway: either at the Christkindlmarkt at Marienplatz or on Tollwood. Sure, the former is one of the largest Christmas markets in Germany, but nevertheless or precisely because of that, it is also terribly crowded. It is very similar with the Tollwood. That is why we have selected eleven Christmas markets in Munich for you that are particularly beautiful (and hopefully not so well attended). From the vegan sausage stand at the fairy tale bazaar to the warming fire bowls during the winter magic in the West Park.
