The following poem is really famous (written at the end of the 19th century). Children often have to learn it by heart in school/kindergarten. WATCH.
Denkt euch - ich habe das Christkind gesehn!
Es kam aus dem Wald, das Mützchen voll Schnee,
mit rotgefrorenem Näschen.
Die kleinen Hände taten ihm weh;
denn es trug einen Sack, der war gar schwer,
schleppte und polterte hinter ihm her.
Was drin war, möchtet ihr wissen?
Ihr Naseweise, ihr Schelmenpack -
meint ihr, er wäre offen, der Sack?
Zugebunden bis oben hin!
Doch war gewiss was Schönes drin:
denn es roch so nach Äpfeln und Nüssen!
Translation:
Guess what? I saw the Christkind.
It came out of the forest, its little cap full of snow.
Its hands were sore
Because it was carrying a sack that was very heavy
And was dragging it behind.
You want to know what was in it?
Do you think it was open?
You nosey ones.
It was tied securely,
But there was an aroma of apples and nuts.
