Ulula is based at Rush Farm, a biodynamic farm in Worcestershire.
Between March and October, Rush Farm is supported by a wonderful group of volunteers who find us through the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms Organisation a movement linking volunteers with organic farmers and growers.
The volunteers are fondly known at the beginning of their stay at WWOOFers, but by the time we are all hugging goodbye, they have become one of the family. This means that we are now very much an international family on the Farm, as is Ulula with all its wonderful worldwide customers.
We may not be €˜together' on the farm across the winter months (a time of €˜rest' for the farm so no volunteers are needed), but sharing our winter traditions and memories is very special.
Our winter family and community traditions are instilled in us when we are little, and these memories and feelings stay with us as we grow up, and we bring them into our world anew when our own little ones arrive.
These traditions are unique to each family, region, country and each generation, and we carry them with us, whether we are stay in the country of our birth, or find ourselves somewhere different. €˜Different' brings opportunities for both enjoying, and learning other families' traditions. We blend them into our very own happy ever afters. Just as it should be x
My Christmas is always full of childhood memories. Even I'm twenty three now, we celebrate Christmas every year in the same kind of way. I love that! 
Christmas to me means time to calm down and to enjoy a special time of the year with my family, the people I love.
At the holy night my dad always prepares the food, which is very special because during the year he never does. And I have to admit he makes it really really good!
The biggest moment for me is the time we all together open the door to the room with the Christmas tree.
It's like
magic! The whole world seems to stop for this moment.
And before we start to eat the delicious meal between harmonious candlelight we all together sing the German Christmas song 'Oh Tannenbaum'.
Wishing you all peaceful Christmas time and good future for Ulula,
Marisa, Germany
