: The presents are given on Christmas Eve. This doesn't mean that Christmas is on Christmas Eve. --[[Special:Contributions/188.114.102.34|188.114.102.34]] 09:22, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

::As another german, in my experience the 24th, Heiligabend, is way more important than what we call the first Christmas Holiday and the second Christmas Holiday, which are the 25th and the 26th. It's the day when people do the elaborate, traditional dinners that are different for each family, when the "Christkind" comes at the evening after the family went to church (if very christian, if not, it's probably just santa and the church going isn't obligatory either) and presents are unboxed. The days after that are mainly just to play with or try out the presents, and depending on how christian the family is maybe one or two more church goings happen, also it is when you call relatives to either wish Merry Christmas<sup>TM</sup> or thank them for the nice presents. Also because you likely made too much food for the Christmas Dinner<sup>TM</sup> you finish the leftovers on those days. -- [[User:256.256.256.256|256.256.256.256]] ([[User talk:256.256.256.256|talk]]) 07:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
