Fredericksburg Pyramid

The Weihnachtspyramide, or Christmas pyramid, has only been on display since 2009, but it has quickly become part of the holiday tradition. The wooden structure, reportedly the only one of its kind in the US, was made in Germany and sent to Fredericksburg piece by piece. When the pyramid arrived, a team from Germany came to America to assemble the pyramid and train the Fredericksburg team on how to do so as well.

The Fredericksburg Christmas pyramid will be lit until Three Kings' Day, January 6th. Not coincidentally, this is the day people typically take down their Christmas trees in Central Europe. It is also the day we undeck the halls at our house here in Texas. 



Here is a short video I found online:
