ok mom is looking at the first two and she says when high inflation hit around WWII (she can't remember exactly, she was a small child) says around the time the Americans came) and money was pretty much worthless, they had money in small stamps like this, so that might be what you have,
The christmas stamps she's never seen, but there are so many different regions throughout Germany and they do things differently. For example we always called the man bringing gifts St Nikolaus, but in Bavaria he could well be known as Der Weinachtsmann..maybe someone from a different region can help you better. They appear to be gift stamps, maybe from a local candy shop (since they are redeemable for cash or sweets)?
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
