WEIHNACHTEN BEI DEN THALBACHS - Alle Jahre wieder!?

They are as traditionally part of Christmas as cinnamon stars and gingerbread: the three Thalbach women with their Christmas reading "Every year again!?". Christmas stories, Christmas poems and anecdotes that warm the heart and make the eyes light up.

The Thalbach women are true experts in storytelling and their repertoire is as varied as Christmas itself: when Katharina, her daughter Anna and her granddaughter Nellie open their fairy tale books and poetry books, even the biggest Christmas hater will feel warmed! From timeless classics such as "The Little Match Girl" to the quirky and funny biblical Christmas stories (albeit in Berlin dialect) as well as poems by Christian Morgenstern and Theodor Storm, the three Thalbach women present Christmas with lots of words, charm and wit. Three generations of Thalbach ensure just the right Christmas atmosphere: funny, quirky, warm-hearted!
