Merry Christmas from Germany.
The traditional holy eve spectacle started here this evening with opening of the living room a few hours ago.
Children play with new toys, we had dinner and now we can relax a bit.
Have a great time with your families!

Ah, OK. We’ll be very good and not let on what Santa is doing specials on this year.
Gldelig jul (Merry Christmas!)
Feliz Natal a todos . (Merry Christmas to all, in PT-BR).
Feliz = Merry, Happy.
Natal = birthday (of the lord)
Natal comes from the latim n?t?lis that means “of one’s birth”
Santa Claus -> Papai Noel
Papai = Daddy
Noel -> Natal (from old french noel that means n?t?lis in latim)
In Portugal they say “Pai Natal” that means the same, but with less intimacy (Father Natal)
