Walk­ing down the Blanke­neser Haupt­straße I was won­der­ing why there were so many rental trucks dri­ving there on a day the REWE is closed. But down at the beach it turned out those trucks were mov­ing christ­mas trees, for which Kar­fre­itag is the cor­rect day to do that. Be­cause some sav­ages think it's a good idea to burn them near some love­ly white hous­es and thatched cot­tages.
