Christmas is more than a Christmas tree, food and gifts. The stars maintain these traditions on the holidays.
What makes Christmas special? The traditions – even in times of Corona. Andreas Gabalier, Barbara Meier and Johann Lafer reveal in an interview with the news agency spot on news which traditions are particularly important to celebrities.
Eat and enjoy
Singer Andreas Gabalier (36): "I love our fondue on Christmas Eve and on December 25th, which we enjoy in a family atmosphere in the mountains. Nobody has work with it and it is a sociable meal for hours. A freshly cooked meal means mostly stress and is over quickly. "
Model Barbara Meier (34): "For me, the most important thing on Christmas Eve has always been attending Holy Mass. In addition to all the gifts and good food, I think one mustn't forget the Christian reason why we celebrate Christmas. This year I will hopefully find a trade fair that will be broadcast on the Internet. I think that would be very nice, so that I don't have to miss out on this Christmas atmosphere. Otherwise, the food that my husband cooks at Christmas has become a culinary tradition. He does an unbelievably great turkey with great side dishes. "
Singer Mandy Capristo (30): "My father and Christmas, that's a big topic. He's been preparing for the meal for weeks. I love Papa's Frutti-di-Mare salad. I'm looking forward to it weeks in advance . Actually, my friends and I meet to bake cookies, I will definitely miss that this year. "
DJ and producer Robin Schulz (33): "The most important tradition is that I cook very extensively. This can take a few days to prepare. Later we all sit together comfortably and spend the evening relaxed together."
A festival that brings people together
Actor Heiner Lauterbach (67): "Tradition is that I get the biggest and most presents. That is very important. No, fun. It's just nice with the children. However, they are already out of this Santa Claus age – unfortunately. But it is it's still nice for the children to celebrate Christmas with the family. That is something I really appreciate. Because Christmas is always a celebration that brings people together, where we become a little contemplative, approach each other and deal with each other. I think that's a lot nice, especially in this day and age. "
Pop star Howard Carpendale (74): "Christmas is always a big family celebration for me. We all travel a lot for work and it's just a nice tradition to spend the holidays together in peace. We don't have a certain ritual, we change because also in the organization within the family. Now, of course, the focus is on my grandchild and that's nice. "
Star chef Johann Lafer (63): "Christmas is family time with us as always and luckily my two grown children are also at home. Usually the pastor with whom we are friends also comes to dinner, let's see how we do it this year. And on Christmas Eve we have a classic meal with goose and red cabbage dumplings. "
Singer Patricia Kelly (51): "Christmas mass is a priority every year, because ultimately Christmas revolves around the birth of Jesus. I grew up Catholic and want to keep this tradition in our family. We cook, laugh and cry every year. It is a very emotional time. "
