Well for starters, they celebrate Easter as families get together and have a huge Easter feast. Afterwards, the kids find Easter eggs and they all go out for a walk. This is celebrated in March, the same as in the US. They call it Ostern.
They also celebrate Oktoberfest, which is a festival in the fall where they celebrate and stuff because of a prince's wedding many, many years ago. They change dates, but it's usually a 6 week period In Sept-Nov.
They also celebrate St. Nikolaus Day [St. Nicholas Day in English], which is to honor a bishop who died in 343 A.D. Saint Nikolaus offered a kind act to three women who couldn't afford dowries by placing three bundles of cash in their beds, which was enough to prevent them from going into prostitution and thus was able to get married. Saint Nikolaus Day is celebrated every December 6th. This is known as Nikolaustag.
Then there's Christmas, or otherwise known as Weihnachten. It's official date is December 25th to 26th, but it starts on December 24th, during Holy Evening. During Holy Evening, families usually gather around for a Christmas dinner, then go to church services later on. "Santa Claus", or "Weihnachtsmann", also appears that night to bring good children Christmas presents. On December 25th and 26th, people visit friends and other relatives they haven't seen on December 24th.
