Some interesting information about Bavaria, Germany, and the Finster family:

  • The earliest known inhabitants in the area of present-day Bavaria were the Celts.
  • The Christmas tree was first created in Germany during the Renaissance era. Rather than being draped with illuminate lights, the original Christmas tree was decorated with apples, nuts, and other foods.
  • Germans consider it bad luck to celebrate birthdays early. They believe in a philosophy that roughly translates into “don’t count your chickens before they hatch.” An early congratulation for a birthday reminds the recipient that he or she could die before the actual date occurs.
  • Rather than wave to your German friends, greet them by knocking on the table. It’s believed that knocking on oak is good luck because the devil isn’t able to touch the “holy” wood.
  • When children start school in Germany, they receive a Schultüte which is a cone of presents that helps to ease the stress of entering a new, serious life.
