Do people celebrate Christmas in Germany?

In order to answer this question, you must first understand that not all cultures viewed a day or the concept of time in the same way.In old Germanic time-keeping days were counted from sun-down to sun-down. Therefore following their christianisation, Germanic tribes would begin the feast of Christmas with the setting sun on 24 December, which is why, to this day, the Germans begin their Christmas celebrations on the evening of 24 December.This Germanic form of time-keeping was also introduced to England with the influx of Germanic and Scandinavian tribes after the Romans left. It is still evident in such expressions as Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Hallowe'en.Eve (and e'en) in its original form meant evening, so Christmas Eve was the Christmas Evening. It was only later that eve came to mean "before", especially once it became accepted practice that a day began and finished at midnight.Further evidence of this ancient form of time-keeping is the German word for Christmas Eve - Heiligabend (lit. holy evening) but also in the more mundane German word for Saturday - Sonnabend (lit. sunevening)
