How christmas is celebrate in Gwermany?
Please write at list 1 paragraph in enlish.
The nuclear family gathers on Dec. 24 and has some sort of meal (very often fish). We put the presents under the christmas tree, around sundown, then we sing songs and unpack the gifts. We don’t have santa claus (although it has swapped over from the us), but a "Christkind," (either an angel or, really, a kid jesus, but I am not really sure…embarassingly). If kids are around, they have to wait outside the room until the "christkind" rings a bell, that means he was there and they can now unpack the gifts.
On Dec. 25 there is usually another gathering of family and friends, with a larger meal.

santa wears a swastika and has a thick german accent and does not like kids to be deutschbags
edit:
douchebag = jerk
deutschbag = german jerk

Similar to US. There is a second holiday, the day after Xmas. Gifts are exchanged on Xmas eve by family. There is no Santa.

bist du deutscher oder warum sprichst du so schlecht englisch??
wenn nicht- nicht lesen;-)
its very similar to USA: just not that kitschy
christmas tree, church maybie, then presents ( in the evening of the 24.12.), then either calm and eating a duck or going to a party
??
the biggest difference is that the presents are opened at the 24th….
the 25th and 26th is not that important, its just hanging around and getting rid of the hangover…
