Reluctantly at first, then more and more frequently – this is how the Advent and Christmas pictures arrived in our editorial office. The idea behind it: We would like to get our readers in the mood for Christmas with pictures that were taken in various places. That makes the topic particularly exciting: Christmas is celebrated differently everywhere, and so the pictures that reached us were extremely diverse. We are happy about these many impressions and we would like to congratulate everyone who took part in our compliments for the wealth of ideas and the skillful implementation. At the same time, we look forward to conveying a little Christmas spirit to all of our readers with these impressions, and we wish you all of them
Merry Christmas!
