Christmas Brings To The Germans Rush To Buy Shirts, Ties And Other Traditional Gifts.

The traffic inconvenience caused by heavy snow does not reduce people's shopping enthusiasm. German cities are crowded with shoppers. Sales on Christmas Eve have led to an increase in retail sales this year. The Retail Business Association expects sales to increase by 2.5% over the past year.

The Federal Constitutional Court ruled that only two Sunday was allowed to open this year. People who had not yet prepared Christmas gifts could only take emergency shopping on Sunday, the last business day of the festival, to deal with Christmas Eve's gift giving time.

When shopping urgently, people will choose what they need in daily life.

Stacking under the Christmas tree will not be all traditional gifts. According to the latest survey data from the retail business association, one of every two gifts this year will be a shopping recharge card, and cardholders can directly from the furniture store.

Since 2002, Germany's personal consumption has been stagnant under the guidance of strict economic policies. The current consumption boom should be an optimistic expression of the public's economic situation.

The German Chamber of Commerce predicts that consumption growth will reach 2.4% next year.

But economists warn that they should not be too excited, especially in the case of the euro crisis, which is likely to brake economic growth.
