 She shared the German family tradition at Christmas: the preparation and lighting of Advent wreath (Adventskranz) candles. Candles are lit on Sundays of December. On December 6, the family starts cleaning of shoes for Nikolaus to fill these with chocolates, nuts, and prepare a glass of milk and some sweets for Nikolaus. They visit Christmas markets; bake and decorate Christmas cookies (weihnachtsplatzchen); buy and decorate Christmas tree; and go ice skating. They also hold kriskringle or wichteln ( secret Santa). On December 24, for the Holy Night ( Heiligaband) they enjoy a Christmas dinner with potato salad, frankfurter sausages, roasted duck with dumplings and red cabbage. For dessert, they enjoy bratapiel ( custard and nuts).

 On December 25-26, the family watches television, visits relatives and prepares much food; after meals, they hold quiz-games. The webinar ended with a German song. Indeed, very animating and laden with cultural practices as observed in World’s places.

Multiculturalism and multilateralism may have become requirements to cope with the wind of change, but heavy yokes to some professionals.
