let's ride ah read him 60 minutes on d w. ah, what people have to say to us. ah, that's why we listen to the stories reporter every weekend on d w. it's the holiday season, merry christmas to all of you from the 77 percent. my name is wendy camara. let's get this party started with christine or not. we are well and truly into the festive season here at the 77

percent. i mean, just look at what we have prepared for you. we deborah with some very special christmas present. dallas capital luck path. in the long way, our girls ultimately bought a visit, the child headed household, and cut that we hadn't seen a the rush was off in her beautiful town player. christmas is an important holiday for millions of people around the world. but not everybody celebrate in the same way. some people go to church, others put up a christmas street or have a big feast with a family. so we asked our correspondence across the continent. how do you celebrate your christmas? take a look if you want to enjoy the festive busy in ghana, then laura terminals our trust issues are no locally just like this one yet. in acura i, it's set up wayne because for those who spend most of the year in the city,

it is time to spend the holidays with really thieves and loved ones in that village of calls churches to have the pixies, as to what she passed all over the country are filling the auditorium of the various churches and what would the holy did be without it beach, the cross country families and young people will spend time thinking the king and having a drink. so you see there was enough room for everyone to make merry this christmas season. christmas is a big dealing camera room, but the build up the christmas has been bigger. this is appeared where a lot of people want to achieve their live goals. so many people want to get married just before christmas, while others wants to move to a new property. after 2 families are large. so, you know, we do a lot of money, not just to buy stuff for the immediate family members, but also for a long list of extended family members. so everyone can have

a happy christmas celebration. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas in my country, namibia, just like here in germany, the christmas lights are up in the capital vintage and the most decorated with different ornaments. and so many lights. but the facilities don't happen in a capital vintage families gearing up to travel to the villages on to visit the grandparents or relative and enjoy some quality time together. they'll be so much food salad, some proper meat and don't forget the music. that is the christmas that amos chris my income paula is mainly about making. no one understands that be done. the business community christmas time is about the come. all business is one to my 0 but unity, the family shopping for the festive season, but also pretty much income like i next 5 minutes. travel to the country

side to celebrate together. but in no way to go back to one thing and you've got christmas about too many of us truth most we got a big meal is not what i'm hearing lagos, nigeria, only places, exaggerations. thoughts of these was made up of christmas celebrations. but if what smith looks like, this is how many stress assess, mainly because i thought there was no celebration many, and i just come to and go to be a christian which will be here after christmas, checked in the country on the bustle of life and little end of these decorated rights and i live on. it's not about idea.

i love seeing how either 77 percent as much this holiday season in 10. yeah, i would peak family, get togethers as the typical way to mock the season. you know, people traveling a country to spend time with the parents, the grandparents and extended family, but this he is christmas might look different for many of us across the continent. skyrocketing prices and inflation have put a damper on celebration. so we asked you on social media, how have you christmas been impacted? nathan from nigeria save the economic hardship really changed my christmas plan to travel to the village to celebrate. but it's not possible any more we have to make do with the verbal and changing judge from the barrier save since the 14 year long civil war ended, christmas has been what celebrating, but that's not the case now because the economy is paralyzed and because of but

governments, there is, but living conditions for the poverty stricken masses. thanks so much for sharing with us. i really hope you have a wonderful christmas despite these challenges. now, when it comes to christmas trees, there are many different models in the market. and we found a very special type in gunners capital, a cra. these young onions are busy working on a festive project to date, the building a christmas tree. what up twist. this tree is made entirely out of plastic bottles . mac, awfully. our crew is a brains behind the idea, dark rubbish. environmental activist already knows a thing or 2 about up cycling. for the festive season, he likes to top into his creative side. he mobilizes young people in his community to build these christmas trees as an alternative to the traditional kind. all of these plastic bottles come from dom sites. residents who want to lend

a helping hand, can also bring your empty bottles to our woocommerce workspace in a crop. once the bottles have been sorted out, guessed to wet, prepare them for their new life as a tree. then his helper spread them carefully from both ends with a rope and fastened them around the would be cheese, metal balls, the founder and c. u of the sustainability. and you look in touch africa has been running this project for 6 years now. it's become something over christmas tradition for communities around across as the town may or something, laughs come to stay and people aspect fans or, or with at the end of every year. and what we do is want to make sure that the plastic window lagwen and wrapping their moment to was we are recycling that he also creates an upside code installation that we believe our par for advocacy too. so keep influencing people's behavior. once they are ready jobs,

i could plastic christmas. trees are displayed across the city for everyone to enjoy. they are not your typical christmas vibe, but that's also the point. it's no mean feat. eda, every tree takes between 4 and 6 hours to build using a total of $1200.00 plastic bottles each. but for volunteers like more, it's worth every minute. so the fact that we are contributing a change to the environment and the fact that we also help and reduce the results which our plastics go boxing, it will backing to the ocean and on our streets. that is what motivates us all the time. and then keep us more ginger to do more of this. but it's a night when the trees beauty really comes alive. they are covered with festive lights, drawing the attention of glucose, like a moth to a flame. they are obviously a big hit with a community. there are mirandi the way they arranged the buttons into

a christmas tree. it's very nice for wesley dad and i prefer this type of christmas tree to normal cheese. the way they have been build it is very attractive. have bad business matches like introduce a new way of like a christmas tree. there's plastic, which is now becoming a now a new rails. he writes, in christmas you can buy one of these christmas trees for yourself, although it will set you back anywhere between 300 to 500 years. but what the echo minded, these plastic trees make a great gift for the environment, and are a whole different flavor to the you time. celebrating christmas with climate change in mind, a creative solution and yet another reason why the 77 percentile simply rock. now what would be christmas without some present?
