We celebrated Fasching (which is called Fasching but written only as Fasnet here in this part of Germany). It's the crazy time right before Lent for the Catholics. In the last 10 years or so the Lutherans have started in on the fun too.
The kids dress up for several days at school to their heart's desire. Last week there was also a Fasching Party with REALLY LOUD music, a free soft pretzel and warm punch, and a 3-legged race (with lollipops for prizes). Peter was a horse, Micah a lamb (it's his winter coat anyway), Adelle a ballerina then a purple dinosaur, and Joseph an Indian.

The parade. The wooden masks.
(we left out the picture of the witch grabbing our friend
and running away with her down the street!)
Peter, the horse.

that are hung all around town right after Christmas till mid-Feb
