I would confess about a time in my life when the only picture I have in my mind of Germany is the beetle car from Volks Wagen. That's on top of what I learned in my history class about Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Marx, and the infamous Adolf Hitler. But the day of my enlightenment came on a trip to my Uncle George. I never thought that there were a lot to appreciate in the German culture, and one of which is the Nikolaustag.
