They have 3 days of xmas:
1. Xmas eve (heilige abend)
on this day most families chill at home with extended family all day and have a big dinner and then they exchange presents unlike in america. My host mothers family came over. We also had to sing around the tree. like legit stood around it and sang "Oh Tannenbaum" (oh xmas tree) then did presents. The kids here well atleast my 9 year old host brother, doesnt believe in any kind of santa claus or st nick, he know the parents do the presents and we watched them put the presents under the tree.
2. Xmas day 1 (Weihnachten Tag 1)
visit or do more things with the other side of the family or more family. We went to Holland to my host dads family. We had spare ribs. And played this game with dice which we also played xmas eve. the person with the highest number from 3 die wins a small prize and keep going around until the presents are gone and then you trade.
3. Xmas day 2 (Weihnachten Tag 2)
more more family except this day is completely unnecessary to also be christmas because we didnt do anything special at all
