Well they would have traditionally left the letters on the windowsill for Christkind to take and then she would leave little presents for them but now I'm pretty sure they have mail boxes to Christkind just like here in America when we send our letters to Santa. There are pictures on Google of the little postmen and postwomen helping Christkind by picking up all the childrens letters and delivering them to her house.
Christkind = Christ child (baby Jesus)
No. They've got the "Christkind" (Child of the Christ), which brings the presents and decorates the Christmas tree. Further they celebrate Christmas on the 24 of decembre, in the evening.

Normally they open their presents in the morning of the 25th december, christmas day's morning. They believe that Santa Claus bring the presents in the night of the 24th december and then the next day their under the christmas tree. So they wake up next day in the morning and open then the presents, which Santa Claus brought them.

Das Christkind, or the Christ Child, is a traditional figure associated with Christmas in German-speaking countries. It is often depicted as a young child, symbolizing the birth of Jesus, and is believed to bring gifts to children on Christmas Eve. In many regions, Das Christkind is seen as an alternative to Santa Claus, and its arrival is celebrated with festive customs and markets. The figure embodies the spirit of giving and joy during the holiday season.
