Germans have really small Christmas trees...or maybe Americans just have really large ones?
In any case, the Christmas trees now popping up on makeshift tree lots all over Berlin are darling little things, often not even as tall as a person. And since the branches are usually wrapped up tightly in netting like this for ease of transportation, when you see them on the streets being carried home, they look even smaller. (This may vary a bit regionally, since I think part of the point here is that Berlin is a city, and in a city people live in small apartments, rather than big houses.)
The other day I even saw a couple pushing a Christmas tree in their baby carriage...they had one of those double ones meant for twins, and there was a baby in one side and a Christmas tree in the other.
