This was reported by Bild.
According to the publication, Merkel, accompanied by three security guards, visited a supermarket located in the heart of the government quarter in Berlin.
The politician purchased: butter, potatoes, paprika, sweets, cheese and other products. There was no traditional Christmas goose, carp or wine in the grocery basket. Angela Merkel also took her own plastic bags with her and paid almost 100 euros for the purchase.
The chancellor congratulated the cashier who was dispensing the groceries on the upcoming Christmas and wished them good holidays.
The publication also adds that where exactly the chancellor plans to celebrate Christmas is still unknown. As usual, she and her husband are vacationing at a resort in Switzerland at this time.
