Good resolutions are basically part of the New Year’s Eve program. But what about character traits? Six people from Nordenham say which endearing quirks they will hold on to in the new year.

Almost everyone has good resolutions for the New Year. But what about the beloved characteristics? They may not always be well received by those around them, but they are somehow part of the character.

Albert Mumme: He can’t resist the fine wines

Stop smoking, stop drinking, stop living, no, that’s not his. Albert Mumme wants more flower power instead of war. Until then, he reaches for sweets to keep himself entertained.

The drawers in the living room cupboard are full to the top. If he passes it, he has to grab it irrevocably. He is particularly fond of the fine wines.

Silvia Kerney: The Christmas tree will stay up until the end of January

Order is overrated. Since the beginning of the year, Silvia Kerney and her husband have been cleaning up the “junk room”.

In the 20 years that the couple has lived in the house, a lot has accumulated there. That’s why the Christmas tree is still in the room: the shelves on which the decorations are to be stored first have to be put together. Until then it’s all about slaloming through the apartment.

Yeti Mansena: Forever a bad consumer

Yeti Mansena says he has neither good nor bad resolutions for 2024. There’s too much complaining anyway, even though people in the city are actually doing quite well. If someone complains that everything has become so expensive, they ask the counter question: Do you even need that?

The musician finds the attitude “It’s better to spend money on a big car than to fill the fridge” absurd. He wants to continue to ignore status symbols of all kinds. So far he has done well with this attitude.

Edda Lorenz: Life is too short for bad company

Edda Lorenz celebrates the year with a long-standing tradition, Dry January. She abstains from alcohol. But she wants to pick up the thread again from February. After all, life is too short to limit yourself unnecessarily.

The shanty choir singer is particularly fond of Gin. It has to be of high quality and the company has to be right. For them, good food is also part of their enjoyment of life.

Bernd Bierfischer: Work-Life-Balance mal anders

The lawyer Bernd Bierfischer regularly comes home later than planned. Accordingly, his wife plans a certain tolerance time for dinner together.

When his official working hours end, Bernd Bierfischer doesn’t leave everything behind, but rather finishes the letters he has started, tidies up his office and takes out the trash.

He says he learned the attitude from his father. This can result in delays, even if guests have registered.

Dr. Peter Schmidt: Keep your soul on your tongue

Peter Schmidt values ​​honest conversations. To achieve this, he likes to surprise his counterpart with unexpected answers. To the greeting phrase “Are you okay?”, he sometimes responds with a short “No”. The other person’s initial perplexity will hopefully lead to an open exchange with a little more “soul on the tongue”.

For the new year and the ones to come, the doctor is relying on spontaneity. He would rather go new ways than stubbornly go straight ahead. Even if that means suddenly swerving left or right.
