Here in Germany they're in full swing having parties in silly costumes, cutting off ties and "storming" the council offices. True to form, the Germans take being silly very seriously
All we ever do is stand and watch the parade on Sunday as the people on the floats throw sweets to the children. Luckily we know a couple who have a restaurant so they invite us to drink Gluehwein with them while the parade's on.
The dss are taking part this year and are torn between excitement and annoyance that dd will get loads of sweets.
