In our show today I asked how my guests celebrate Christmas in Australia, Hungary and Germany but also how people formulate their New Year\u2019s resolutions in different cultures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely santa<\/strong><br \/>\nOur exchange student and podcast enthusiast Lucy Warren talks to Barbara Neukirchen, who is responsible for the outgoing students from <a title=\"Rhein Ahr Campus\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rheinahrcampus.de\/Internationales.13.0.html\" target=\"_blank\">RheinAhrCampus, Remagen<\/a>. Lucy is interested in how Barbara celebrates Christmas time and whether this could be seen as typical for Germany. In our first category Barbara tells Lucy on which days Germans celebrate Christmas and how they celebrate the count-down to Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely positive<\/strong><br \/>\nHave you thought about your N<a title=\"new years resolution\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usa.gov\/Citizen\/Topics\/New_Years_Resolutions.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">ew Year\u2019s resolutions<\/a>? For example stop smoking or drinking less alcohol? Or losing a couple of pounds by going to the gym regularly? I asked Beatrice about her resolutions and she explained to me the difference between positive and negative ones. In our second category we listen to Beatrice\u2019s view about New Year\u2019s resolutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely festive<\/strong><br \/>\nI put together a round table with Lucy from <a title=\"christmas in Australia\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thekoala.com\/ausxmas.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Australia<\/a>, Emese from Hungary and Andreas from Germany. All of them shared their typical customs and Christmas traditions from their families with me. Of course this does not mean that everybody in their culture celebrates in the same way \u2013 sometimes this may be just the culture of that particular family or region. Let us listen to very different experience which range from Christmas on the beach to Advent Calendars.<\/p>\n<p>Our next show will be coming to you from <a href=\"http:\/\/annefox.eu\">Anne Fox <\/a>in Denmark on 07.
