Since a couple of years I'm wondering why we Germans do not celebrate such a day as much as other countries do. Well I guess it's still because of our history.
But: We Germans should be more proud because we reunified the country in peace!

So what happens at the 3rd of october in Germany?
It's an official holiday. There are flags in front of the civil services, agencies and other offices. On TV you can see several shows about the topic.
What does not happen at the 3rd of october?
We're not having dinner with the family just to celebrate reunification.
We are not decorating our homes in the colors of our flag and we don't have fireworks all over the country. Maybe just in the bigger cities.
Isn't that sad?! I think from now on I will have a big party on the 3rd of october! Why not also baking pies in the flag colors, decorating the home, having fireworks, wearing clothes and make up in black red and gold?
