Andreas Langsch // Schöne Bescherung!

In the organizer's words:

The Christmas program

Christmas... the most beautiful celebration of the year: the whole family comes together, a beautifully decorated tree is waiting to be admired, it smells deliciously of Christmas cookies and punch, it's snowing outside and inside the open fire spreads a cozy warmth...

It's Christmas Eve. Andreas has invited everyone, and everyone has come: His helicopter parents ("Put on something warm!"), kitchen fairy Grandma Liese with Grandpa Karl, who is struggling with his new hearing aid, the busy, slightly annoying prosecco aunt Sophie, Uncle Philipp, a self-proclaimed entertainer who knows all the bad jokes in the world, the full-time pubescent twins and all the rest of the hunchbacked relatives.

Andreas is perfectly prepared and right on time. But what if, firstly, everything turns out differently and, secondly, than you think?

"Happy Christmas!", when the ultimate Christmas tree bargain turns out to be a complete flop, the fairy lights from China cause a power cut in half of Hamburg and the relatives get a little too boisterous after the third punch. "Nice presents!" when Grandpa wants to go to church, but the permanently offended Grandma would rather watch the Helene Fischer show on TV, the twins stare at their cell phones like zombies and are just waiting to finally go to a "real" party.
