Germany gave the world the New Year tree and the Christmas advent calendar. But it has kept many holiday signs and traditions only for itself: for example, if it is customary to celebrate Christmas here with a roast duck or goose, then the New Year is celebrated exclusively with a good piece of baked pork leg or ham, since it is believed that the bird will fly away and take good luck with it, and the pig will definitely not go anywhere and will bring prosperity and well-being to the house. The taste of the New Year in Berlin is the famous donuts with filling, Berliners. Once they were a symbol of the fact that the city split in two remains united, and today they have become simply a favorite holiday dessert.
