Author’s note 2: Lebkuchen are heart-shaped gingerbread cookies that are hung up. They are decorated with sayings like “Ich liebe dich” (“I love you”) or sayings related to Oktoberfest.
Author’s note 3: “Ein Prosit” is a traditional Oktoberfest drinking song. The modern composition was composed by Gerhard Jussenhoven and Kurt Elliot in 1957. It’s followed by “Schenkt ein, trinkt aus, schenkt ein, trinkt aus!” which translates to “I poured you one, drink it up! I poured you one, drink it up!” English lyrics for “Ein Prosit” are as follows:

"A Toast"

"A toast, a toast
"To cheer and good times
"A toast, a toast
"To cheer and good times.

"ONE! TWO! THREE! DRINK UP!"
