Christmas / Noel
How do you celebrate Christmas in your country, or in your family since I guess not all families celebrate the same way all over the country.
In Germany we celebrate Christmas in the evening of 24th December. The families get together, have dinner, light the Christmas tree and some candles and give each other the presents.
Most families also go to church but we don't do in anymore. Since I never go to church, what sense is there in going there just this night? It does not mean I do not believe in God. But I think God can be anywhere not necessarily in church.
Usually on 25th December the families get together again for lunch.
Comment fêtez-vous Noël dans votre pays, ou dans votre famille car je suppose que toutes les familles ne fêtent pas de la même façon dans tout le pays.
En Allemagne, nous fêtons Noël le soir du 24 décembre. Les familles se réunissent, dînent, allument le sapin de Noël et quelques bougies et s'offrent des cadeaux.
La plupart des familles vont aussi à l'église, mais nous n'y allons plus. Puisque je ne vais jamais à l'église, quel sens cela a-t-il d'y aller juste cette nuit ? Cela ne veut pas dire que je ne crois pas en Dieu. Mais je pense que Dieu peut être n'importe où, pas nécessairement à l'église.
Habituellement, le 25 décembre, les familles se réunissent à nouveau pour le déjeuner.

Re:Talk about philosophy
Hi Carole, I am from India and now staying in Lorrach , Germany till november 2017. Phylosophy also interests me.
Sometimes I wonder like... what we actually want in life but what we are actually running after... like job , money car etc.
Recently i read a book "Sapience : a brief history of Mankind" it amazing and really expands your thinking.... good read.
I would love to talk about life, culture language, cusine etc... Also if you are interested in Indian culture, hindi , yoga etc... we may exchange a lot...
