Soon comes the Christkindsche!

Vorwieschend heidere Weihnachtsgeschischdscher uff gut Hessisch

Hört Ihr Leud und lasst Eusch saache, bald tun se beginne wieder, die Weihnachtsdaage. And if you don't know yet what to give away, here is the perfect gift tip for all Hessians: The book "Bald kimmt's Christkindsche!" by Hans W. Wolff. "Uff gut Hessisch" erzählt Wolff "vorwieschend heider Weihnachtsgeschischdscher", whereby the story of "Maria un Josef un vom klaane Jesus im Kuhschdall von Bethlehem" darf ebenso wenig fehlen, a look at the "Christmas bakery", everything worth knowing about the "Niggelees", a visit "ufem Weihnachtsmaggt" or a very special version of "Oh Tannebaum".

Illustrated by Ludwig Nardelli, Wolff guides us in an extremely amusing way through the pre-Christmas season and all the small and large rituals that are part of Christmas. With sometimes dry, sometimes biting, but always typical Hessian humor, the annual terror under the Christmas tree is lovingly taken for a ride. The pleasant thing about it is that Wolff, while shedding almost satirical light on rituals, the usual squabbles and "Gift-givingitis", never lapses into a cynicism that could spoil the reader's enjoyment of Christmas.

When reading the little "Christmas stories together, when reciting the amusing poems or when reveling in family Christmas memories stimulated by the book, the visit of the "Christkindsche" can quickly become a contemplative evening of a particularly cheerful kind with the help of the book. Because what can be more beautiful at Christmas than to laugh heartily or to smile soulfully in the circle of one's loved ones? With this book you can only be right. Festive game tips and explanations of "komische Weihnachtsmörtern" there is on top of it still. Christmas Eve can come confidently!
