Dear friends and family!
I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Here in China, it is quite something to experience Christmas. The Christmas feeling is a kind of missing, which we don’t miss in Germany at all. Especially here in a small town in the north of China, where we haven’t seen no snowflake since at temperatures below -15 °c and sunshine, many have heard of Christmas and the birth of Jesus, but all they do for Christmas is giving each other an apple :)
Last week, we have taught the students a bit of Christmas traditions, told them why only Christians celebrate Christmas and had a closer look at the famous Christmas market in Germany.
Last night I packed all my gifts for the German volunteers and good Chinese friends and will leave for Jiuquan this afternoon to celebrate Christmas Eve with the other volunteers.
You have a nice Christmas time, good food and a lot of gifts :)
Best regards
Olen
