Is Germany still divided today?
No. Germany was reunited in 1990. Since then vast sums of money have been invested in former East Germany and this has done much to overcome differences in living standards between the former East and West Germany.
Actually Germany will be divided forever, because East Germany is not Deutschland. It's Wendland, territory of polabian slavs and ancestors of russians. East Germany was betrayed in 1990 and forcefully annexed to fascistic West Germany. Level of life in East Germany (DDR) wasn't so bad comparing to BRD. People in DDR always had job, while in BRD unemployment prospered in large scale.
When do German children open their Christmas presents?
Germans have the Advent season which are thetime frame of the 4 Sundays before Christmas (but could be the 24th of December if a Sunday). Most people will have an Adventskranz (Advent wreath) which has 4 candles (one additional lit every Sunday closer to Christmas).
From 1st December the countdown to Christmas is "celebrated" in form of Adventskalender (Advent calendar - mostly filled with chocolates since for Children), where every day one little "window" is opened. During the Advent season also the Christmas markets are open.
Christmas Eve is the highlight followed by the first Christmas day normally spent in family. The second Christmas day is less formal.

Until the 16th century, farmers and people of the lower classes used to wear gray or brown-colored garments. No other colors were worn at that time except for the blue. Blue-colored clothes were allowed only on Sundays and holidays. Since the 16th century, two types of traditional country dress developed: work clothes and Sunday/festive dress. The best examples of these styles are native dress (Tracht) and folk-style dress (Dirndl). There are certain differences between them. Here they are:
Tracht Dirndl Means of production sewn and fitted individually by specialized tailors produced by the ready-to-wear fashion industry or made at home Material only natural materials are used: wool, linen, silk, silver, mother-of-pearl synthetic and plastic products Decorationshandwork: embroidery, lace and hand-woven materials machine embroidery and laces Meaning indicates the marital status and the clanship of the wearer doesn't indicate any status Use of ornament careful use of trimmings, focus on quality abundant use of ornamentation, little focus on quality Length always the same, never changes depends on the current fashion Body accentuation plays down the female body accentuates the upper part of the female body Design limited to the traditional form for a given region no limits - the designer's fantasy is all that matters Prevalence is a rarity stored and exhibited in museums widely spread by the ready-to-wear industry
By the middle of the 19th century, when the industrial revolution took place, the native dress with its specific means of production and only natural materials began to disappear. Instead, the factory-made fabrics entered the life and conquered the market of clothes due to its reasonable price. In the end of the 19th century, native dress came back to life with a new wave of popularity and national consciousness. Native dress was the main symbol of ethnic identity, and folk tradition movements made it their target to revive the national clothing and save it from total disappearing. For that "Volkstrachtenvereine" - "Native Dress Societies" - were created and quickly spread. As a result, thousands of different costumes have been preserved or rescued from oblivion.
Nowadays dirndls are quite popular in Germany and Austria because they are pretty, fun, and not expensive as the native dress.
