More than 50,000 residents from the southern German city of Augsburg are being evacuated from their homes so that an operation to defuse a World War Two bomb can get under way.

Luckily, the article says that most Germans celebrating Christmas open their presents and have their main festive meal on 24 December, rather than Christmas Day, so I guess it's the equivalent of it happening on boxing day here.
