In Germany, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th, also known as Christmas Eve. This is a very special day in German culture, as it marks the beginning of the holiday season and is when families gather together to celebrate. On Christmas Eve, families typically have a special dinner and exchange gifts. It is also tradition to light a tree and decorate it with ornaments and lights. On Christmas morning, children wake up to find their stockings filled with treats, and families gather around the tree to open presents.
