EDIT: no, that is wrong…i see also from other categories including
To see the ‘Christmas 2025’ i had to add it to the Categories as i use the filter there.
thanks for reminding
the topics of ‘The Final Heatwave…’ are also all in the main list.
This here seems to be different. If it does not apper in the main list it might be that many people do not notice about it.
Because a new post does not do this:

a little story about Christmas in my home village
Christmas Lights
Sunday, First Sunday of Advent, 10:00 a.m.
In the Önkelstieg terraced housing estate, pensioner Erna B. has her grandson Norbert install three electric candles on the windowsill of her living room. A pre-Christmas atmosphere spreads, and joy is palpable.
10:14 a.m.
While emptying the trash, neighbor Ottfried P. observes the provocative Christmas display in the house next door and immediately counters by placing a ten-armed Danish candle set, each with 15 watts of light, in his kitchen window. Hours later, the entire Önkelstieg estate shines with the contemplative glow of 134 window decorations.
7:03 p.m.
At the Sottrup-Höcklage coal-fired power plant, 14 km away, the engineer on duty mistakenly registers a malfunction in the electricity meters for the Stenkelfeld-North area, but remains unaware of the cause.
8:17 p.m.
Horst and Heidi E. successfully connect a daisy chain of 96 halogen film lights, strung through all the trees in their orchard, to the three-phase power grid. Some of the local birds, confused, begin building nests.
8:56 p.m.
Disco owner Alfons K. feels compelled to contribute to the pre-Christmas atmosphere and installs the Metropolis laser system, one of the most powerful in Europe, on the flat roof of his bungalow. The 40-meter facade of an adjacent grain silo withstands the continuous barrage of the Santa Claus projection for several minutes before crumbling with an ugly sound.
9:30 p.m.
In the hustle and bustle of a Christmas club celebration at the Sottrup-Höcklage coal-fired power plant, the alarm signal from generator hall 5 goes unheard.
9:50 p.m.
The 85-year-old war veteran August R. projects the Star of Bethlehem onto the low-hanging cloud cover using 190 Varta Volkssturm anti-aircraft searchlights.
10:12 p.m.
A group of Asian businesspeople with light luggage and summer clothing wander fearfully through the Önkelstieg housing estate.
Earlier, a Singapore Airlines Boeing 747 bound for Sydney had accidentally landed in the Bröhrmeyer bakery’s garage entrance, which was paved with 3,000 colorful neon tubes.
10:37 PM
The NASA space probe Voyager 7 transmits images from the edge of the Milky Way of a supposed supernova in the northern hemisphere. Experts in Houston are baffled.
10:50 PM
A slight tremor shakes the area around the Sottrup-Höcklage coal-fired power plant. The entire complex, with its 30 turbines, is roaring at 350 megawatts, well beyond its capacity.
11:06 PM
In the brightly lit Önkelstieg housing estate, student Bettina U. wakes up and mistakenly rejoices at the sunny December morning.
At precisely 11:12 p.m., she flips the switch on her coffee machine.
11:12 p.m. and 14 seconds
Into the sudden darkness of the entire Stenkelfeld district,
the explosion of the Sottrup-Höcklage coal-fired power plant erupts like a thunderclap. Confused people wander through the pitch-black villages, people like you and me, for whom one candle on the Advent wreath wasn’t enough.
