Christmas time is family time and that is also the case for the extended Lürig family in Aach. The family has 12 members in total and this year Christmas is extra special because the first grandchild is also there. What does Christmas mean to this family and what traditions characterize their pre-Christmas period? We accompany them as they choose and decorate the Christmas tree, and also accompany dad Ralf as he builds the surprise Advent calendar for his wife Sabrina. 00:00 Christmas tree, cookies and presents: This is how an extended family of 12 celebrates Christmas Christmas for the extended Lürig family is a big event because there is a lot going on with so many children. The Lürigs include dad Ralf, mom Sabrina, son Laurentius, son Leander, daughter Laetitia, daughter Liliana, son Livarius, daughter Leonore, son Landelin, son Linus, daughter-in-law Maya and granddaughter Aliya. 05:10 The homemade Advent calendar First of all, mum Sabine gets her annual homemade Advent calendar from stage designer and painter Ralf. The first Advent also includes hanging a garland on the front door. Another family tradition is baking cookies. 10:24 Santa Claus with the Lürig family With so many offspring, Santa naturally gives the extended family lots of presents. But first the shoes have to be cleaned. Another tradition is reading the story of Santa. I wonder what Santa brought for the children? 15:27 Final preparations for Christmas This Christmas will be very special because the first grandchild is coming. With so many children, wrapping presents is a marathon. On Christmas Eve the family has a big programme and each child plays or recites something. But that needs practice first. 21:00 Decorating the Christmas tree with the extended family After the right Christmas tree has been chosen, it's time to decorate, decorate and decorate. The children naturally help decorate and the desired order is subordinated to fun. In the end, the tree is standing and lit up and that is the most important thing. #Family #ExtendedFamily #ChristmasTree #Christmas #Advent Subscribe to the Landesschau channel: http://x.swr.de/s/landesschauabo Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the SWR Landesschau!
