It's definitely carried like a badge of honor, as they make it sound as if nobody will have a Christmas unless they come through - It's a time to spend time with friends and family, it's not about the gifts or the dinner, many would be happy with just a pizza and good company. I do miss the amazing Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Markets) in Germany. There are various incarnations of it in North America but none compare to theirs.
