Feierabend

One of the very best German words there is: Feierabend. It's the evening, specifically the evening after a day of work, but there's something really wonderful about it in that it has that bit of feiern in there, which means "to celebrate" -- celebrating the fact that now you can sit, guilt-free, by the side of the river and drink a small beer and write, because you've made it through another day, because the business part of the day is done.
