Christmas Eve for single people: Celebrate together in Neustadt!

In Schleswig-Holstein, numerous offers are available that enable people who are Christmas alone, a festive time in society. Especially in Neustadt in Holstein, Andreas Schneider organizes the "Christmas Eve for single people" for the 12th time. On December 24th from 7 p.m., he invites you to the parish of the parish to make a contemplative evening with delicious food, singing and gifts for a maximum of 20 people. Schneider received generous donations for this special celebration, including from the Lions Club and the local association of Arbeiterwohlfahrt, which enable the event free of charge. But not only that: it will be the last Christmas Eve under his leadership, since he withdraws for personal reasons. However, the continuation of the celebration in 2025 is already secured, as he emphasized.

Community celebrations everywhere in Schleswig-Holstein

In the entire region, there are numerous other ways not to spend Christmas alone. For example, the Workers' Welfare (AWO) in Heide has been organizing a Christmas party with a festive meal for 30 years that is open to everyone. The Diakonisches Werk in Flensburg and the parish in Kiel also offer solemn occasions in which the focus is on cooperation. This often happens in the form of common services, festive meals and program points that aim to relieve loneliness and to promote social get -together.

For those who do not want to actively participate, telephone counseling is also available. It offers an open ear and support - and that is very anonymous and free of charge. The pastoral care is accessible around the clock, so that nobody has to feel like being alone. These are important offers that can help to overcome loneliness on the holidays. All details of the diverse events are available on the respective websites, including that of the NDR, which indicates the various offers in Schleswig-Holstein.

The initiatives show that Christmas not only has special moments for families, but for all people longing for community.
