Is Christmas on the sixth of December in Germany?

Answer 1

I think most of them don't celebrate something that day, however, I know that some people in Germany celebrate Sünnerklaas on 6 December,

like in Belgium and the Netherlands, children get presents .

In the Roman Catholic areas of Germany (mainly in the south, especially Bavaria) St Nikolaus visits children either on the evening of the 5th or on the 6th. They put their shoes out - either outside the door or on the hearth - and hope to find them filled with oranges, apples, Lebkuechen and sweets. Many Kindergartens and schools arrange for a man in a bishop's outfit riding a horse to lead a procession (something similar is done on November 11th for St Martin's day) and they have a celebration. In other communities it is possible to "rent a Niklaus" who will visit the children and their families at home! This tradition is also practised in Austria and Suedtirol (the German-speaking part of northern Italy). Often the children are "examined" as to their behaviour during the year or have to recite a poem or answer a question before getting their reward. He is often attended by Knecht Ruprecht who carries a sack to take away the naughty children. In other areas he is accompanied by the Christkind - a beautiful female angel, who will later bring the Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. Niklaus was originally the Bishop of Myra in the 4th century hence the man on a horse dressed as a bishop. These traditions have metamorphosed into the modern day Santa Claus.
