Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from us to all of you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We concluded the year with our annual Christmas Celebrations, during which we packed Christmas bags as part of the Christmas bag campaign by Stiftung Solidarit\u00e4t Ukraine (Solidarity Ukraine Foundation) for children in Ukraine, decorated a ginger bread house and drank and ate lots of punsch, ginger bread and Christmas cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are looking forward to all the things the new year will bring and are wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone that is celebrating, as well as a great winter break and a Happy New Year to all of you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, as we say in German: “Einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!” (literally meaning “A good slip\/ slide into the New Year”). This is how we are wishing a Happy New Year before Midnight on the 31st of December – you will hear people saying this already as early as mid December, usually in combination with Merry Christmas then, and especially between Christmas and New Years Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0After midnight on the 31st of December, once it is already January 1st, we say “Frohes Neues” (“Happy New Year”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
