Frank Goosen: Krippenblues - Weihnachtsgeschichten

Christmas - actually a birthday like any other, only the birthday boy or girl rarely comes by to spend one. In his successful program "Krippenblues", Frank Goosen deals with the contemplative, but above all the less contemplative aspects of this holiday.

When does Christmas actually begin?
Isn't the pre-Christmas period dragging on and on towards late summer?
Is decorating the Christmas tree really a man's job?
Don't Brussels sprouts as a side dish to Christmas roulades fall under the ban on biological warfare agents?

Goosen draws on his wealth of experience after five decades as a Christmas victim: once the center of the festivities as an only child, today only the man who is allowed to operate the camera while his own children unwrap the lavish presents. Christmas with grandma, grandpa, Uncle Paul and Aunt Anni in the past, now a "party for Jesus" in a modern children's service.

Perhaps after this evening you will see light decorations in living room windows with different eyes or have more understanding for your stressed bookseller in the Christmas store.
