ein Lichtlein brennt. 🕯

Erst eins, dann zwei,

dann drei, dann vier,

dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür.

Und wenn das fünfte Lichtlein brennt,

dann hat der Weihnachtsmann verpennt! 🛌😭"

☃️ Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen zweiten Advent! 🕯🕯🎄

Das Gedicht zeigt den Gebrauch des "Adventskranzes". Alle vier Sonntage vor Weihnachten, wird eine weiter Kerze angezündet. 

Ursprünglicher waren es einmal 24! 20 Kleine und 4 Große (für jeden Sonntag) – das soll der erste Adventskalender gewesen sein! 

"Advent, Advent,

a little light is burning. 

First one, then two,

then three, then four, 

🕯🕯🕯🕯

then the Christ Child stands before the door.

And when the fifth little light burns,

then Santa slept in on Christmas! 🎅🛌 "

☃️☃️I wish you a wonderful second advent! 🕯🕯🎄

The poem shows the use of the "Advent wreath". All four Sundays before Christmas, another candle is lit. 

Originally, there were once 24! 20 small and 4 large (for each Sunday) - this is said to have been the first Advent calendar!

Ihre Muik ist eine wunderbare Mischung aus Rap und Pop. Die Texte sind purer Herzschmerz ❣️Und ihre Stimme geht tief unter die Haut. Paula ist 21 [Einundzwanzig] Jahre alt und Schauspielerin. Seit 2021 [Zweitausendeinundzwanzig] macht sie auch Musik. Und das sehr gut! 

Ich habe das Lied "Nie verliebt" für dich herrausgesucht, aber alle anderen sind auch richtig gut! 🎼

A German artist you have to know is the singer Paula Hartmann ❣️Her music is a wonderful mixture of rap and pop. The lyrics are pure heartbreak. And her voice gets deep under your skin. Paula is 21 years old and an actress. Since 2021 she is also releasing music. And she does it perfectly well! 🎼💕

I choose the song "Nie verliebt" [Never in Love] for you, but all the others are really good too, so you should difinitively listen to those as well 🥰

Heute ist einer der wenigen Tage, an dennen wir nicht warten können, bis wir aus dem Bett aufstehen. ⏰🛏😍

Wir feiern Nikolaus! Wir schenken unseren Liebsten Nüsse, Orangen oder Schokolade, und tuen es in der Nacht in die Schuhe! 👟👢🍊🕯

Die Tradition gibt es zu Ehren von Bischof von Myra. Er lebte in der Türkei 🇹🇷und schenkte armen Menschen heimlich in der Nacht Gold. Er war reich und teilte mit den Armen. 

Also wenn ihr euren Liebsten heute eine Freude machen wollt, dann versteckt doch ein kleines Geschenk bei ihren Schuhen. Und hört das süße Lied zum Nikolaus! 🎄✨💕

Happy Nikolaus Day! 🔔

Today is one of the few days when we can not wait to get out of bed. 🛏⏰😍

We celebrate St. Nicholas! We give our loved ones nuts, oranges or chocolate, and put it in their shoes at night! 👢👟🍊

The tradition exists in honor of Bishop of Myra. 

He lived in Turkey 🇹🇷 and secretly gave gold to poor people at night. He was rich and shared with the poor. 💰🤑

So if you want to please your loved ones today, hide a small gift by their shoes or just go and listen this cute song with them 💕✨🎄

As if, Lisbeth!!? No, "Von wegen Lisbeth"! The band always creates a joyful mood. Their talent is to document every situation of everyday life very poetically - from heartache to Schmähgedicht - they make it all. 🥰💕📝🧩🎄

Friday night and you're looking for a Christmas film to relax to? 📺Every year it's a competition who can watch this film the most times during the Christmas season. Four to six times is quite a normal number. The ČSSR/DDR co-production was made in 1973 and directed by Václav Vorlíček. The original languages are German and Czech✨

You have to see it!!

Jetzt ist es Zeit für fetzigen Pop. Es ist Pop-Musik, aber der Text hat starke Worte, die tief schneiden und an Rap erinnern. Ich liebe liebe ihre Musik so sehr!! 

 

Now it's time for groovy pop. It's pop music, but the lyrics have strong words that cut deep and remind you of rap. I love love love their music so much!!!  

Jetzt, nach der vollständigen Veröffentlichung, gibt es ganze Episoden, die aus 7 Clips von einer Woche bestehen ⏰🗓

(In Deutschland findest du die Serie auf dem YouTube Kanal Druck, oder in der ZDF Mediathek) 

The show "Druck" discovered the new format of the web series. The idea comes from Norway from the show "SKAM" 🇳🇴The show is set in real time ⏰ Every day a short clip comes out at the time it happened. The characters are all from a group of friends who are just graduating from school 🏫The aim is to show the real problems of teenagers. The season "Nora" is the beginning of the 2nd generation of the German version of the show. You follow Noras life and Problems. Now, after the full release, there are whole episodes consisting of 7 clips of one week🗓💻💕 

Der Grund ist: Im Jahre 1961 wurde das AnWerbeAbkommen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der Türkei unterzeichnet. Die Initiative zur Anwerbung türkischer Arbeitskräfte in Deutschland ging hierbei von der Türkei aus. Zum einen wollte sie damit ihr Außenhandelsdefizit (Heimatüberweisungen zur Verbesserung der Zahlungsbilanz) reduzieren, und zum anderen sollten die sozialen und ökonomischen Probleme in der Türkei abgemildert werden 💰💸

Es war nicht gedacht, dass die als „Gastarbeiter“ bezeichneten Arbeitskräfte dauerhaft in Deutschland bleiben sollten. Im Laufe der folgenden Jahre zogen Frauen und Kinder nach und sie blieben. 👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👧‍👦👩‍👧👩‍👦👨‍👨‍👧👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧👨‍👨‍👦❤️‍🔥❣️❣️

Also hier: Kannst du den entspannten Song "Gesi Bağları" von Altin Gün zum Montag genießen. Eine Band, die ich sehr SEHR liebe! 🥰 

My students learn from my quiz about Germany that Turkish is the second most spoken Mother tongue by Germans. This surprises them, they expect English or something European 🇹🇷 

The reason is: In 1961, the recruitment agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and Turkey was signed. The initiative to recruit Turkish workers in Germany came from Turkey. On the one hand, it wanted to reduce its foreign trade deficit (remittances to improve the balance of payments), and on the other hand, it wanted to alleviate the social and economic problems in Turkey 💸💰

Initially, there was no thought of the workers known as "guest workers" staying in Germany permanently. In the course of the following years, women and children joined them and they stayed. 👨‍👨‍👧👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧👨‍👧‍👦👩‍👧🎅❤️‍🔥

So: Here you have a relaxing song "Gesi Bağları" for Monday by the Band ALTIN GÜN, which I deeply adore!!

The miniseries "Unorthodox" follows Esty into her new life🌌 She escapes from her community in Williamsburg. Of course, moving to a whole new world is not easy. On top of that, she is pursued by her husband all the way to Berlin. But Esty is strong and fights for her dream of becoming a musician! It is an interesting story. And the videography is very beautiful💯💕

You are in the mood for fine rap?  But not for the typical ignorance in many song lyrics? Ebow is the answer. She just does everything she wants, but with respect 🫡

Everything about news and funny memes from German politics and culture is available at Funk⏰👩🏼‍💻🥰 "Funk" is the content network of ARD and ZDF, national TV stations. They produce content for 14- to 29-year-olds, for different people with different interests. They have many small channels and projects👩🏼‍💻🦆🎄 On Instagram they give interesting short news.

Look through Jamila's eyes. What you see then, she reveals to you in new song🤩 It's an ode to friendship. Jamila shared on Instagram that the song is addressed to her best friend. To say thank you for always accepting her the way she is and was and to show her love. Who doesn't wish for something so true in life?👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩💕

Jamila is eighteen years old. Music has always been a big part of her life. She told me that she has played 8 instruments. But playing bass and singing is her passion. And writing songs. And Jamila is so much more. In her school, she fights for basic rights as a student representative, even if it's not easy! Her Whatsapp status is "if you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make a change.🌍". And this is Jamila, a changemaker.

Heute habe ich eine gute Netflix Empfehlung! How to sell drugs online (fast). Zwei beste Freunde starten (aus Versehen) einen Onlineshop für Drogen 💊und werden ziemlich erfolgreich damit 💸💸 

Wie sie das im Alltag verstecken und meistern, müsst ihr euch anschauen! 📺

Finally Saturday night! 

Today I have a good Netflix recommendation! How to sell drugs online (fast). Two best friends start an online drug shop (by mistake), but are pretty successful with it 💊✨ 

How the teenagers master to hide it from day to day? 

You have to watch!

 

What do a mouse, an elephant and a duck have in common? A science show for kids! Every Sunday at 11:30 a half hour of lovingly designed television is broadcast. There, kids and adults learn together about everything there is! Check out their website for their clips, recipes, games and more! ❤️🎉🥰 

 

Ich habe eine tolle Youtube-Köchin gefunden, die viele authentische deutsche Rezepte auf Englisch teilt! Also wenn euch in der Sommerpause langweilig ist - backt einfach ein paar Plätzchen 🍪😍💝🎄

Omg! I almost forgot. Yes, we eat a lot of cookies at Christmas too! 🍪🎄🥰 I found a great Youtuber chef who shares a lot of authentic German recipes in English! So if you're bored during the summer break - just bake some biscuits 🍪🍪🍪💝

The sound of Perel rebels. Threatening lyrics, packed in wavy 80s atmosphere🎵🎞 All this seems abstruse, cold but at the same time so beautiful. The DJane is also a singer and sings the lyrics. Her complete aesthetic is so beautifully different. You must see her videos too! ❤️

Wilhelmines Pop-Musik ist aus klaren Worten gemacht, und mit klarer Stimme gesungen🎵 Die Musik ist ruhig und tief berührend. Perfekt für Weihnachten, auch wenn es keine Weihnachtsmusik ist.

Wilhelmine's pop music is made of clear words, and sung with clear voice. The music is calm and deeply touching. Perfect for Christmas, even if it is not Christmas music🎄🥰

You know, I have never met anyone who doesn't like Ediwin Rosen's music. The songs all have a very similar nostalgic mood, which creates a great comfort. He just fits perfectly with the winter Christmas feeling in Europe.

My grandparents used to have a big suitcase full of fairy tale DVDs. I was allowed to watch a fairy tale film every nap time🎞📺

I only recently learned that these films are so special. The DEFA movies made in GDR are minimalist, almost two-dimensional, with light language - simply simple! 

And there are always lots of fairy tales on TV at Christmas time, so you should watch this sweet fairy tale this Christmas. It's Frau Holle!! 🌨❄️🥰

Sadly I didn't found one with english subtitles, but I'd still recommend watching a bit from minute 12, because it is so beautifully made and so relaxing and inspiring watch😍

Ja, wir können nicht abwarten, unsere Geschenke zu bekommen😂 

Meine Familie liebt es, alle Weihnachtsfeiertage in Ruhe zusammen zu verbringen. Ein Teil der Routine ist, dass wir einen entspannten "Weihnachts-Winter-Spaziergang" machen und wenn wir zurückkommen, wurden alle Weihnachtslichter auf magische Weise eingeschaltet und der Weihnachtsmann hat uns ein paar Geschenke gebracht. 🎄🎁💝 Das Haus ist voller Magie, und es herrscht eine so entspannte Stimmung... 

Vor ein paar Jahren hat meine Schwester ein Spiel gestartet. Um ein Geschenk zu bekommen, musst du entweder einen bestimmten Begriff zeichnen, erklären oder pantomimisch nachmachen und die anderen müssen raten🧩🎲 Wir brauchen so lange, um alle auszupacken, dass wir eine Pause machen müssen, um zu essen, oder wir sehen uns manchmal das Grippenspiel in der Kirche an, aber wir haben eine viel intensivere Zeit, wenn wir ein Geschenk bekommen, weil wir ein Geschenk nach dem anderen auspacken und alle zusammen zusehen 🎁🥰🌨

Heute ist meine Geschenk an dich, mein liebstes Weihnachtslied "Christmas is the only time I'm home" vom britischen Songwriter Tom Rosenthal💝

Wohooooo it is Unboxing day!!! 🎁🎄🥰 At least in germany :))) 

Yeah, we just can not wait to get our presents. My family loves spending all Christmas together One part of the routine is, we go on a chill "Christmas Winter Walk" and when we come back, all the Christmaslights were magically turned on and Santa Claus brought us some presents🎄✨The house is full of magic, and in such a chill vibe... 

A vew years ago my sister stared this thing, were we would need to play this game in order to get a present. You either have to draw, explain or mimic a certain term and the others have to guess 🧩🎲 We take so long to unpack everything so we have to pause to eat or sometimes we check out the latenight play in church, but we have a much more intense time being gifted, because its unwrapping one present at a time and everyone is watching 😍🎲🥰🎄

My christmas present for you is my favorite Christmassong "Christmas is the only time I'm home" by the british songwriter Tom Rosenthal.

Fröhliche Weihnachten! 🎁🎄
