Michael tells us that he spends this night with his friends after having dinner with his family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely mad<br \/>\n<\/strong>Anne talks about forgetting all good behavior on that night as a ritual in Denmark. In some cases it is even necessary to take all the goods out of the shop windows to make sure nothing will be damaged. We learn everything about playing tricks and blowing up postboxes as well as the personal resolution to teach her daughters French. She also talks about the new experience of fireworks which she didn\u2019t know from her time in Britain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely non-British<br \/>\n<\/strong>Andreas tells us about another German NYE-tradition: It is very common, to have \u201eDinner for One\u201c in that particular night. It looks like a British TV-show &#8211; but it is in fact a German comedy-sketch about an old lady celebrating her 90th Birthday and her butler James who is doing his best to make her feel comfortable. Andreas, like Anne did earlier, talks about the private fireworks which are very common in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The team of absolutely intercultural wishes all of you a Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal\">The next show will be coming to you on 11 January from <a href=\"http:\/\/eduspaces.net\/annef\/weblog\">Anne Fox<\/a> in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>So long\u2026stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p>The host of this show is: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurent-borgmann.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Laurent Borgmann<\/a><br \/>\nEditor: Mathias Knops<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/poddownico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/podcast\/absolutely_intercultural_show_047.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podfeedico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/absolutely-intercultural\" target=\"_blank\">Podcast-Feed<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podaboico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=137617215&amp;s\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes-Abo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This show will be dealing with all kinds of New Year\u2019s Celebrations, rituals and traditions in Denmark, France, and Germany. absolutely repetitive Here you can learn from Beatrice which experiences she made with New Year\u2019s resolutions and her list which she unfortunately has not put into practice yet.
