Christmas tree / Weihnachtsbaum / Christbaum / Tannenbaum
Our christmas tree as usual every year. (my job…). In the most european countries, especially in the northern part of Europe, the 24th of December is the most important part of christmas. After sunset – the hour ist different and personal choice – is the distribution of christmas presents. In christian families with children several parents rings a little bell as a signal that the enfant Jesus has come and left the gifts, which are presented in the living room where the christmas tree is, sometimes under it according american example. Then all sing a christmas song, mostly "Silent Night, Holy Night…", they wish each other a merry oder blessed christmas and then the children can’t be stopped no longer :-). After that (in some families before) they have the feast, some families have their main feast on the other day; it’s the same with the divine service: some go that night, the other ones on the following morning, the christmas day december 25th.
