Christmas (and blood) is in the air
The Germans are weird. We all know that. However, a great deal of our Christmas traditions come from German roots (Christmas trees, yule logs, Santa Claus, etc.). So it is safe to say that when it comes to Christmas, the Germans know how to do it.
What's the latest trend in German Christmas celebrations? An advent calendar with a serial killer in it.
Yes, a man convicted of killing 24 people in the 1920s is making a comeback in an advent calendar, and the calendars are flying off the shelves.
Key quote: "The cartoon calendar shows Fritz Haarmann, who murdered 24 young men and boys in the 1920s, lurking under a tree with a hatchet next to the door for December 1. Below him, Santa Claus hands out presents to children in a festive-looking Hanover."
But fear not, other local celebrities are in there, including famous musicians likeDavid Hasselhoff The Scorpions. So after you're done killing children, get ready to rock Christmas like a hurricane.
Seriously, who knew they were German?
