Merry Christmas / メリークリスマス♪

[chochajin]

I just wanted to use the opportunity to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I hope you get to spend some quiet time with your loved ones - or at least some relaxed days off.

In Germany, the 24ths is probably the most important day of Christmas.
We have a feast on Christmas Eve, come together and open the presents under the tree.
The 25th and 26th are national holidays where a lot of people then visit more relatives and exchange presents.

It's quite different from how Japan celebrates Christmas.
Christmas Eve is usually for couples who then go on a date.

How do you celebrate Christmas in your country (if at all) and more importantly who's bringing the presents?


Thanks so much for sticking around this year!

Bye~chuu!~

Sounds lovely, too. :)
Do you guys have any national holidays during that time?

The 26th is Boxing Day which is always a bank holiday. Then New Year's Day is also one. Otherwise the days in between Xmas and New Year are working days for some places but not all. My firm gave us the 27th off and I had leave to use up so don't go back until the 2nd. Thankfully!
