My First Christmas as a German in Texas | Christmas in the USA

Описание: I’m Sonja, a German living in Texas, and today is my very first Christmas in Texas in the USA. 🎄🇩🇪🇺🇸 In this video, I share what it’s really like celebrating Christmas as a German expat in America — from warm Texas weather and Christmas trees to missing family back in Germany and adapting to American Christmas traditions.

This Christmas vlog shows the differences between German Christmas traditions vs American Christmas, including celebrating Christmas Eve (Heiligabend) in Germany versus Christmas Day in the USA, decorating multiple Christmas trees, and creating German holiday traditions like Bratäpfel (German baked apples) while living in Texas.
