The 24th is "Heilig Abend" (literally holy or sacred evening, as in Christmas Eve). The 25th is Weihnachten (Christmas), and the 26th is simply the "second day of Christmas".Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-26938061203569286582015-11-28T19:05:32.693+01:002015-11-28T19:05:32.693+01:00It is one reason why I enjoy the blogosphere so mu...It is one reason why I enjoy the blogosphere so much. Through my other blog (not Sims-related), I have "met" so many people from different parts of the world. I read their blogs and they read mine, and we learn a lot about each other's lives and countries and cultures.<br />Boxing Day is an old English term. In times when people still had servants and also usually patronized certain shops in their towns and villages, on the 26th of December the wealthier ones would take wooden boxes with money and sometimes small gifts to their servants and favoured shop keepers, as a thank you for good services throughout the year. That's how Boxing Day came to be called so.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-7848440137174146392015-11-28T19:01:55.053+01:002015-11-28T19:01:55.053+01:00You know what, in hindsight I think the message sa...You know what, in hindsight I think the message said "buy off" and not "bug off". My eyesight isn't the best, and usually I only have a small light on my desk on when I am playing TS2 in the evening. So I probably misread it.<br /><br />I love Christmas, too! Can't remember exactly when you started to look at my other blog as well, but maybe you have seen my pre-Christmas posts last year. I usually take pictures of how I decorate my flat for the time from the 1st Advent to January 6th.<br />Speaking of which - I have just finished decorating, so that everything is ready for tomorrow, the first Advent Sunday.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-45857516924099066312015-11-28T12:25:35.441+01:002015-11-28T12:25:35.441+01:00ohhhhh! i see just read it!ohhhhh! i see just read it!okiedokieihookedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765736845952616723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-31536973504658815412015-11-28T12:24:18.584+01:002015-11-28T12:24:18.584+01:00Its always interesting to me to discover the cultu...Its always interesting to me to discover the cultures of others (with similarities and differences) Thanks giving should be in church as we have much to be thankful for! Here, some people put up their trees even before thanksgiving but all the way up until christmas eve. i do not have one up yet. i agree with twoyys it really does depend on the individual and I Love Christmas too - now guess what!? my laptop's screen is broken and my service plan doesnt fix that model i dont have the game installed on my desktop yet as i was using the laptop to test and experiment first. the land of escape is on hold... again / i thought boxing day was a canada holiday okiedokieihookedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765736845952616723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-82907915981503940852015-11-28T10:37:35.169+01:002015-11-28T10:37:35.169+01:00'blind date'? haha, that should read '...'blind date'? haha, that should read 'Nightlife'. :DTwoyys4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120851542520020759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-18872341061487609492015-11-28T10:36:53.666+01:002015-11-28T10:36:53.666+01:00Nellie really is a pretty sim and that hairstyle s...Nellie really is a pretty sim and that hairstyle suits her! I'll look forward to seeing her in college.<br />I have seen the 'pay off with 50 simoleons' before, it came with blind date and it's used to get rid of jealous sims, though I've not seen the expression 'bug off' before and certainly not Sim-initiated so that is amazing. :)<br /><br />I've never played the Newson family past Teen stage so it's lovely to see some of them as Elders now. <br /><br />Oh I love Christmas. We generally put up our tree and decorations 2-3 weeks before Christmas though in the UK it really does depend on the individual. Some do it as early as 1st December and some I know only put their tree up on Christmas Eve (and take it down on Boxing day!). :DTwoyys4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120851542520020759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-52328222711976738452015-11-27T10:32:44.041+01:002015-11-27T10:32:44.041+01:00It's one reason for liking this game so much, ...It's one reason for liking this game so much, isn't it!<br /><br />Our tree (i.e. the one at my parents', not at my place) only goes up and is decorated on Christmas Eve afternoon.

I really don't know why they feel like that about each other, I can not remember any incidents (a broken-up romance or anything) to justify it.<br /><br />No Thanksgiving in Germany - well, we do have Thanksgiving in church, but that was in October, and it is not celebrated in people's homes. I hope your Thanksgiving was great in spite of sounding very much like a lot of work!<br /><br />I am looking forward to the first Advent Sunday. My (few) Christmas/Advent decorations will go up tomorrow.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279373753990334874.post-82634451961362062852015-11-27T02:40:20.502+01:002015-11-27T02:40:20.502+01:00Great story!
