The Germans celebrate Christmas on the 24th, and all the presents are opened on that evening. The 25th is still an important day, but it is equivalent to the 26th.

Instead of Father Christmas, it is Das Christkind (the Christ child) that visits the children and gives them presents. Many families also do not decorate the tree until the 24th, and this is done is secret, by the 'angels', who then ring a bell and the children can go in and experience true magic.
