德國人點慶祝christmas?

那可就要追溯到德國了。在德國，聖誕節前的四個星期天分別秩為第一、二、三、四個待降節（advent）。在第一個待降節左右就開始了耶誕市集，而第一個待降節當天，家家戶戶都會將待降花圈（adventskranz）中第一根蠟燭點燃，之後每個待降節分吸再依序點燃待降花圈的其他蠟燭，等第四根蠟燭被點燃的時候，就代表耶誕節要來啦！
這段期間德國家庭同時開始準備各項採買、裝飾，大掃除的工作，這像不像我們的臘月呢？而小朋友也會得到一份「耶誕日曆」（ADVENTSKALENDER），這是一個紙盒，上面會有1到24個小「門」，每個小門後面都有一樣小玩具或糖果之類的東西。就像我們小時候在住家附的雜貨店「抽」東西一樣，小朋友從十二月一號開始每天可以開一個門，剛好開到十二月二十四的耶誕節前夕。不過頑皮的小朋友通常迫不及待地在第一天就將它全部打開了！

Holiday celebrations in Germany start in earnest on December 1. On that day children (and adults young at heart!) get to open the first of the 24 doors of their advent calendar. Germany (and most other countries) celebrates Christmas on Dec. 24, the Holy Night. To pass this time of waiting, one opens a new door every day! Hidden behind the doors are typically either pictures, chocolates or wooden toys.

Germany celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve, December 24. Shops are open much of the day and celebrations do not start before the afternoon. Children have to leave the room until the Christmas bell rings. At that point they will either find their presents under the tree or Father Christmas himself will pay a visit. Dinner is served after presents have been unwrapped and many families conclude the evening by attending a midnight Christmas Mass. The 25th and 26th are official holidays, mostly spent with family and frien
