For once, you find me slightly saddened: The Christmas party is over and I have nothing scandalous to report. The party raged on until 6 in the morning without noteworthy incidents - shame! Quite the opposite, we are now experiencing something we rarely notice in the busy beehive that is Ashampoo - peace and quiet. Little by little, colleagues are taking their well-deserved Christmas leave, cookies are left untouched (unthinkable under normal circumstances) and the steps in the corridors become gentler and gentler. The email inbox, usually under constant fire, now fills with Christmas greetings from our translators, partners and customers alike. Sometimes, an hour goes by before we receive a new message - unbelievable.
One year ago and with tea and cookies, we decided to start this blog. And believe you me - we were all a little scared. A little more than 6 months have passed and we couldn't be happier. It was your interest and your comments that breathed life into this project and we thank you for that! In 2016, we will be ready again with a colorful mix of stories around technology, software, humor and reflections on the absurdities of our time. And if you have any wishes or suggestions - let us know! Since all of us will be taking a short vacation, please understand that it may take a littler longer than usual for your comments to be approved.
Back in 1996, I was sitting in a dormitory trying to explain the meaning of Christmas to a chinese linguist that had just arrived in Germany. He looked a little in disbelief, had many questions and thought long and hard for a while. Eventually, he remarked "I don't believe in Jesus Christ and it sounds like you're thinking too much about presents. But if everything looks so beautiful and you all get together with your friends and family to remind yourselves that love, compassion and selflessness deserve a place in our lives, it can't be too shabby."
In this sense: I don't know how and where you'll be celebrating Christmas this year but I wish you all a wonderful Christmas time and a happy New Year. Take care and make sure to drop in on our blog in 2016!
And since Manuel Verlaat is not only a capable writer / translator but also a trained musician, he has composed a Christmas song especially for this blog. Enjoy!

Thank You Ashampoo and I wish too Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for all your members, workers and all the best wishes.
What a shame I can't view your video of your Christmas Day song as it won't load. Have a very merry Christmas anyway.
It´s an MP3, a sound file. Maybe a right click on the link, "Save linked content under" can help.
Ashampoo folks. Hope you have a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas. Very best wishes for the new year.
May 2016 be a better year for everyone who needs it.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all at Ashampoo.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all
Here in the central UK we have about 16 deg c this week. I assume that you also have it warmer. Make the most of it and have a great Christmas and New Year. The snow will come, don't worry, and you can ski to your hearts content. Have a good'un.
Yes, the snow is missing here as well. But the cherry trees are in blossom...
Hello ....Mr Krumrey,
That's a christmassy name a bit Dickensian maybe a chestnut vendor on a stall outside Ebenezer Scrooges house... Until recently we in this part of Yorkshire called the time of Christmas MICKLEMAS some of our Yorkshire villages names begin with the word Mickle...... some start with the word Thor.
I suppose they are residual cultural resonations of the worship of Odin and Thor and the old religion related to Hindu. I suppose it is a pre christian term for this festive occasion which goes back to a time long before christianity was ever thought of.
What existed before has it's roots going all the way to India and the sanskrit tongue spoken by the priests in India we used before English and German and other european languages like Latin became different languages.... No wonder Gujurati and Urdu are so similar.... Best Wishes from The English Embassy in Yorkshire

Merry Christmas to You Ashampoo, have a Happy New Year.
