The boys and girls were engaged with great joy and enthusiasm. Since the upper branches of the tree could not be reached due to lack of height, training manager Antonius Schaefer had to step in spontaneously.
With gingerbread, cinnamon stars, and warm tea, the children were rewarded afterwards by Katrin Kincses, the overall head of the municipal daycare centers. Mayor Marcus Hoffeld also praised the great work and was pleased that a sparkling Christmas tree will welcome visitors to the town hall in the coming weeks. The mayor had also brought a small thank-you gift; in addition to a small "Merzig Santa," each child was able to enjoy colored pencils and a festive coloring picture featuring Merzig's apple mascot "Elli Särkover."
