- 9 years ago
Shoppers in Berlin trying to beat the holiday rush line up before dawn to buy traditional Christmas foods.
The first customers at Rogacki delicatessen pick up roast geese and seafood -- among other festive treats.
Claus Deter says he can't wait for the evening's meal.
(SOUNDBITE) (German) SHOPPER, CLAUS DETER, SAYING:
"Tonight we're making salmon; my wife can do it in all kinds of different ways. I don't exactly know how, but it will certainly taste good."
Many other shops and restaurants in Germany are closed on Christmas Eve.
It's traditionally the day when presents are exchanged...and the festive feasts begin.
