HARALD MARTENSTEIN »Unheilige Weihnachten«

In the organizer's words:

What happens when an angel appears during Advent in the middle of Berlin's rush hour?

Can a burning Christmas tree bring a quarrelling couple back together?

A man wants to give away his life for the holidays - but how does that work?

Columnist Harald Martenstein has been writing unusual Christmas stories for many years - with black humor, but also with a lot of love. A Christmas reading that won't leave a dry eye in the house.
