Dear All, If you are looking for topical German-language teaching materials as Christmas approaches, you might find useful a new WWW links page I've put together on 'Advent and Christmas': http://www.swan.ac.uk/german/links/advent.htm There's a wealth of good German-language material on the Web, including poems and prose texts with a seasonal theme, descriptions of Christmas customs in the German-speaking countries, texts and downloadable music clips for German-language carols, recipes for Christmas eats, German-language virtual Christmas cards, live pictures from the major Christmas fairs, and a host of advent calendars.
