An integral part of Christmas celebrations here in Germany is the Christmas tree. The tranquil splendour of the tree lights is an essential aspect of the festival. Christmas trees are present in public squares, churches, shops and restaurants and appear at the beginning of Advent - four Sundays before Christmas.
At home however, the tree appears much later.
Our Decemer Inbox question is: on what date does the decorated Christmas tree first appear in German homes. Is it
a) 1st December
b) 24th December
Or
c) 25th December
