No degree ever prepared him for this kind of Christmas. Four years ago, Issa Kassisieh graduated from the renowned "Santa Claus University" in the USA. The curriculum included subjects like: how to chat casually with children and parents, how to look good in photos - and how to spread as much kindness and love as possible. Issa Kassisieh is particularly passionate about the latter, which he does while visiting schools and hospitals, even mounting a camel in a Santa costume. But this year, curfews, face masks (that don’t cover the beard) and low morale dominate the festive season. How can Issa Kassisieh still spread Christmas magic? A Report by Tania Krämer.
