Palindrome: 12-8-21
My dad was in the Army and stationed in Germany for a couple years. While there, my parents bought this Nativity scene and sent the Christmas post cards to my cousin back in the States.
When we lived in Springfield, Ohio, there was a store that sold German pyramids,(Weihnachtspyramide). These are Christmas decorations that have their roots in the folklore and customs of the Ore Mountain region of Germany, but which have become popular internationally. They comprise a decorated pyramidal outer frame with candle holders and a central carousel with a rotor at the top which is driven by warm air from the lit candles. The carousel is decorated with nativity scenes and other Christmas figures such as angels and wise men, as well as worldly motifs such as mining folk and forest scenes. My mom bought this for me for my first Christmas after I was married.
