Hooray! It's the day of the German Republic, or as we like to call it, "reichstag"!
No one does that??
No, it's a joke. "Reichstag" is the name of the building where the German parlement is seated. I always thought it sounded like the name of a national holiday, because the German word for day is tag. Similarly, the name of the German parlement is "bundestag".
