Christmas 2015

Angelika Only two days until Christmas, and it's high time to send out the Christmas newsletter. As always, the year has passed too quickly. Wasn't it just summer? We weren't very diligent newsletter writers in 2015, but we promise to do better in the new year.

It seems as though the world has become a bit unhinged. Thousands of people are on the run, and in the USA, there is an ugly election campaign. Never before have there been as many mass shootings and rampages in the USA as in 2015. However, the topic is so heated that it seems impossible to discuss it. So I thought, why not let the numbers speak for themselves, because Christmas is also a time for reflection. In this spirit, Peace on Earth, and we wish a Merry Christmas to all of our loyal readers! Christmas!
