Germans believe in Santa (aka "Weihnachtsmann"), as well, as they believe in the Easter rabbit - up to an age of about 5-8.
Christmas is a reason for some holidays, it's a good opportunity to meet the family (and argue), it's a great time for toy and entertainment buissness and Co., 'cause somehow it's seen as a date, folks have to give each other some presents, it's a time to eat even more, for Christians it even got some strange additional meanings, it's a nice time to suicide, if you got noone who likes you...
but, hey, Santa is for kids.
@Amar D: Most german atheists and members of other religions celebrate christmas too. It's kinda secularized, so it's no problem.
Amendment: Take care, as there are two different characters: St. Nicolaus, who "comes" in the night of 5th to 6th december and the Santa-fellow, you know (in some areas with christian majority, little Jesus comes instead of him, but that's rather an exception), whose date is 24th. The second one is way more important today. |

Yes, but we call him Weihnachtsmann!!! In our area we believe more in the Christkind and not in the Weihnachtsmann.
Nikolaus is on December 5th. |

Lol, well in our area near Cologne we call him Nikolaus and have a special day for him December 6. Kids get a plate or boot filled with candy,nuts,apples,oranges and one small gift. Then on the 24 Chriskindle comes with the big gifts. |

Christian Germans do believe in Santa Claus. Non Christian Germans don't. This applies to all the people in the rest of the world as well. |
