A new reading and storytelling delight by Usch Hollmann featuring cheerful and ironic Christmas stories. The expectations and realities of dealing with the Christmas season often diverge in many families. Therefore, Usch Hollmann depicts the behavior and small weaknesses of her fellow humans in their partly modern, partly nostalgic Christmas rituals with humorous understanding. From the Christmas grinch to the Christmas enthusiast, many readers will find themselves reflected in the various stories. Usch Hollmann has not succumbed to the trend of saturating Christmas stories with scornful sarcasm or tearful sentimentality. On the contrary, as in Hollmann's three Lisbeth books, the narrative is once again very entertaining, because – as expected – all activities surrounding the Christmas season unfold quite differently.
