February 2 = Candlemas (Mariä Lichtmess) and Groundhog Day – Candlemas was a legal holiday in mostly Catholic Bavaria until 1912. "If Candlemas Day is clear and bright, winter will have another bite." The European badger became a groundhog in the US. PHOTO: D.

Ein Wolkenkratzer is a Skyscraper but literally a Cloud Scraper, while ein Nilpferd is a Nile horse although we know it as Hippopotamus, and what some of us have after the last days is Hüftgold - love handles. I prefer the German version, ‘hip gold’ ... 🙂

A few literal German/English translations to take your mind off the cold, gray, wet winter months for a few minutes. At least for those of us here in the northern hemisphere.

Die Glühbirne, die Nacktschnecke, the bicycle could also be 'drive wheel' from Fahrrad - Fahr Rad, das Stinktier, das Schlagzeug, die Luftwaffe/die Flugabwehr, die Beerdigung and die Antibabypille.

They emerge from the mist ... dressed in fur with fearsome masks. On the move in the twelve Rauhnächte, rough nights, between Christmas and Epiphany.

It is the 'Zeit Zwischen Den Jahren', when doors to the Geisterwelt, spirit world, were believed to open so demons and evil spirits roamed the earth. Causing chaos and fear from Weihnachten until Dreikönigstag. Twelfth Night.

A custom followed since the 14th century in the Bavarian-Austrian Alpine region.

And those closets had better be filled with clean clothes, as no washing should be done during the Rauhnächte.

It brings bad luck, or so it is said. And not only because, while it is hanging outside to dry, wilden Geister, rampaging through the area, might get tangled up in the clotheslines ... in revenge bringing bad luck to those homes for the following year.

Even in these days of energy hungry tumble dryers and not so much of clothes lines, stockpiling the laundry is a Brauchtum, custom, still followed in some German speaking Alpine regions during the twelve days of Christmas.🙂

Most of us don't have a team of stylists and lighting specialists to ensure we look fabulous in photos from every angle. Often there's one side that's our best. In German, your "good side" is your SCHOKOLADENSEITE (chocolate side).

So, as friends and family insist on taking countless photos of you over the holidays, make sure they catch your SCHOKOLADENSEITE!

Zum Glück! Es geht wieder bergauf! 😀 ☀️
