It might not be as crowded as at home, but being within a German family, it is a very private thing, just like over there
:-(
Our first Xmas here, though. We already got the Secret Santa *thanks Siscabell! so I do not mind if it is not EXACTLY as back home. The most important thing is what it means to you, not exchange of presents, but the birth of one of the more wonderful human beings that for some of us is also God. Whatever you believe, the birth of Jesus changed history and even the Muslims highly respect this fact. Nowadays Xmas is more a comercial and material event but what really should prevail in your heart is the love to your neighbour and to be thankful for what life has given you. Merry Xmas!
