Merry Christmas
As you probably know reading this blog, Germany is a mostly Christian region where Christmas is celebrated. The Christian tradition is not so important anymore, but people still meet to eat together and talk. Of course, also presents are exchanged, which gives Christmas in the eyes of critics a commercial atmosphere.
Due to the de-religionization of Christmas, other regions also adopt and celebrate either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. I heard in a German TV show that e.g. Japanese people like to celebrate Christmas.
Independant of whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope you have a nice day, and since you are interested in Germany you might - even if not celebrating Christmas today or tomorrow - try to calm down a bit from daily work.
People seem to be busy all the time if you're watching the streets
