I think we should give each other nice surprises on a more regular basis. Fulfill someone’s heart desire with some hot gifts and you shall be friends forever!

Just wondering if all that extra fat should have be shared with the less fortunate? Maybe christmas should be turned into a time of fasting and giving away all you can afford to others. Three days of less food, of no TV, no playstation, no entertainment then maybe we get some more spiritual enlightenment into society …

The Christmas tree is labeled as a German invention. But who would have thought that Arab countries and the Chinese go mad for them? German consumers are currently facing a serious price hike, because ‘their’ trees are getting shipped or even flown out to "those foreigners".

So global consumerist culture trumps so called Christian traditions? Frohe Weihnachten …

It is an old tradition here in Germany that someone dresses up as St. Nikolaus and his scary companion Krampus bring gifts to the kids.

This is actually a pretty scary thing - I have seen grown woman and man weep and sacred to death when facing (a student dressed up as) St. Nikolaus.

I also still remember that evening as well. All the other kids ran away and were nowhere to be seen while I had to hold St. Nikolaus staff and  listen to what he had to say about my ‘performance’ since his last checkin.

When he left and the other kids appeared again they got some presents too - which I thought was pretty unfair since I alone had faced the red giant …

Today we celebrate Santa Claus in Germany. Are your ready for some Xmas trash and share the happy feelings?

Yes?!
