A day for buses, taxis, rideshare cars, delivery vans, trucks, bicycles, scooters, and everyone trusting strangers on the road.
The shortest day. The longest night. The sun sets before four. The Germans do not despair. The Germans light candles. The Feuerzangenbowle is prepared. The Weinachtspyramide turns in the heat of candles. The Schwibbogen, the candle arch, glows in the window. The Erzgebirge tradition of light against dark is the most German response to winter: functional beauty against the void.
A day for the person who listens to the problem, finds the part, and knows whether it can be saved.
A day for friendly disputes, season hopes, old victories, new lineups, and the bonding power of a harmless debate.
