Die Bescherung is a noun, describing the event and is based on the verb bescheren, to give or bring, especially presents. Bescheren has its roots in the Middle High German word beschern, which means “assign” or “deliver.”Historically, it was associated closely with notions of fate and God’s allotment to humans. However, if you hear a German say “Da haben wir die Bescherung!” or “schöne Bescherung” it might mean something a bit different. In fact, the German title of the "National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation" movie is “Schöne Bescherung.” Uncle Eddie’s arrival at the Griswold’s is a classic example of a schöne Bescherung. Example sentences:Wann haben wir die Bescherung?
