Merry Christmas from Germany!
Christmas is the time for delicious cookies, hot punch and tasty dishes. We asked our colleagues for their favorite Christmas recipes.
On December 1, Andreas Wagner (President of the German Branch of Mitsubishi Electric) tells us how he starts the Christmas season:

“When it’s really cold outside and cozy and decorated inside, chocolate cookies are a part of it.
That’s Christmas for me.”
