A little Weihnachtsgedicht courtesy of DH. No idea where the orginal came from.
When the snow falls wunderbar,
and the children happy are.
When the Glatteis on the street,
and we all a Glühwein need.
Then you know, es ist soweit.
she is here, the Weihnachtszeit.
Every Parkhaus is besetzt,
weil die people fahren jetzt.
All to Kaufhof, Mediamarkt,
kriegen nearly Herzinfarkt.
Shopping hirnverbrannte things,
and the Christmasglocke rings.
Mother in the kitchen bakes,
Schoko-, Nuss- and Mandelkeks.
Daddy in the Nebenraum,
schmucks a Riesen-Weihnachtsbaum.
He is hanging off the balls,
then he from the Leiter falls.
Finaly the Kinderlein,
to the Zimmer kommen rein.
And it sings the family
schauerlich: "Oh, Christmastree!"
And then jeder in the house,
is packing the Geschenke aus.
Mama finds unter the Tanne,
eine brandnew Teflon-Pfanne.
Papa gets a Schlips and Socken,
everybody does frohlocken.
President speaks in TV,
all around is Harmonie.
Bis mother in the kitchen runs.
im Ofen burns the Weihnachtsgans.
And so comes die Feuerwehr,
with Tatti, tata daher.
And they bring a long, long Schlauch
and a long, long Leiter auch.
And they schrei - "Wasser marsch!",
Christmas now is in the Arsch.
