    And remember: absolutely no dancing! Because otherwise Baby Jesus will cry.

      Also, no matter what, DO NOT watch/show The Life of Brian on Holy Friday, since that would be the ultimate sacrilege! Which is something I would of course never dare to make a yearly ritual out of.

        My mother had this weird obsession that you couldn’t eat meat on Good Friday, even though she never cared about religion at all. Guess what I’m having tomorrow?

          To circumvent the rule of no meat on Good Friday, in Germany the “Maultasche” (mouth bag) was invented, also called “Herrgottsbescheißerle” in Swabian dialect (little God cheaters). The meat is minced and colored with spinach and then pasta dough is put around it, so “God and your neighbors can’t see the meat inside”.

          It is delicous on every day!

    But also don’t panic. The days before long holidays the supermarkets are packed with people preparing for the end of the world.

        Begs the question, are they gonna be more or less packed than today? Maybe everyone runs to the stores now so the usual Saturday crowd isn’t there. Or everyone skips today and goes on Saturday, crowding it even more than usual.

          I used to work retail in Berlin. The thursdays before easter always had the highest revenue of all days in the year.

        Yes, those markets are at stations, so they can argue they sell ‘travel needs’. But they sell the same goods as every market of those brands

            They might sell the same food, but they do sell them for way higher prices. They have to because the rent for the shops is high, but also because the people buying there have nowhere else to go, because usually no one goes there that can go shopping elsewhere. So better plan ahead with opening times of your normal grocery store.

      I got my reminder this morning when the whole parking lot was crowded and grannies were fighting for the last shopping cart.

    Do German stores close over the weekend as well? We used to do that in Canada but it’s been years since that stopped.

      They are closed on Sunday. On Saturday shops close earlier, especially if you are in a rural area.

      I know, that’s why the entire DK population is in Flensburg right now, stocking up on beer.

      @Etterra @You Who said that? I live in Germany and I’ve seen absolutely no one ‘making fun of americans’ because of black Friday.
      Please stop spreading false claims.

      There are tons of things to make fun about and mock the United States, but having a day in the year where people go crazy about buying stuff which was overpriced before isn’t funny. Especially since companies in Europe doing the same thing and also call it ‘black friday’.
