This is giving “If you donate just €1 today, a German family can have a real Christmas dinner” 😂😂

[Orangenkraft]

Worthy to point out, this can VASTLY differ by region AND personal family tradition.

I‘m german but i have to admit, your boyfriends family are a next level germans.

Aww Bless, I feel bad fro German boyfriends parents, due to this comment section. Look maybe its not the fanciest noodle salad, but they raised a damn good son that is giving our girl so much love and peace of heart. We support German Boyfriend and his great parents! :)

I know exactly what she´s really thinking.

The slight shade in “that’s it. 45 minutes for a whole Christmas dinner” 😂😂😂

[leko]

As a german, this is the weirdest christmas dinner i ever saw.

Might just be me.

As an italian, the pasta salad almost makes me cry

[mille_fiori]

But as a German, I have to say: the pasta salad looks very sad...

[ThePanMan]

That looks so sad... And I am Dutch... I thought we had the saddest food.

Traditionally, only simple dishes that can be prepared quickly are eaten on December 24th, as it was a fast day and people fasted until Christmas mass in the late evening. Afterwards there was a quick meal. The big feast then takes place on December 25.

Even though very few people still fast at Christmas and many don't go to church, simple meals on December 24th have become a tradition in many families.

You've got yourself THE MOST German guy😂❤

[TheoWasHere]

as a german, this is the weirdest christmas dinner ever. That's what we eat in summer lol

Edit: This comment was about germany, not america. Why are americans discussing about america under my comment (about germany and the weird german tradition).

[moent]

I'm Polish and the difference is crazy to me. I will now appreciate our beautiful 12 traditional dishes and big celebration on 24th.

[mxghnaa]

The food looks so sad, I would cry if someone served me boiled sausages on Christmas 😢

[AnjaliDandriyal]

If this is what was in store for Christmas, I wouldn't celebrate it either 😂😂😂

[singenstattatmen]

Should be mentioned that while this is a traditional meal on the 24th (my family has had potato salad and sausages that day for as long as I can remember), we do whip out the fancy meals on the 25th and sometimes 26th!!! A bird like duck or goose with potatoes and red cabbage and a delicious sauce/gravy is the go-to for many. ❤

Which is what I will have today, can't wait! 🤤

[rainbows_and_i]

There is no typical German meal for Christmas Eve. 😅

Some of us eat Nudelsalat and Würstchen, some of us make Raclette, others have Gans mit Rotkohl or a Braten and we prefer Pastetchen. 🤗

Frohe Weihnachten everyone 🎄❤️🎄

For a north German (around Hamburg), this is the weirdest Christmas dinner I saw, I only know it with long baked and sometimes filled duck, goose or turkey, with croquettes or potato dumplings with apple red cabbage and gravy

Edit: okay I have been told by a parent that they had it too but only once, it is different in region and family, otherwise we also know it like this: 24th.: kale, mettenden (idk if it has an english name ^^') and pork and on 25th.: stuffed duck or turkey and how i descripted it earlier ^^

Oh good the noodles with the mayonnaise are a crime 😅
