The Germans have many interesting Christmas traditions. One of the most well-known is the Christmas pickle, which is hidden in the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve and the first child to find it will receive an extra present. The Germans also have a tradition of putting up a nativity scene with real animals, including real camels, donkeys, and sheep. Additionally, some Germans enjoy attending Christmas markets, which offer a variety of festive foods and drinks, as well as handmade crafts and gifts.
