In the staff room some of the staff provide the right atmosphere: have Breakfast Together and drink alcohol-free mulled wine. The big kitchen is giving away in addition, Santas, and hearts of chocolate. In some rooms, a children's choir. The majority of patients still want to go home.

Huber, recalls past new year's eve. He also had service in the hospital. Only one patient in a wheelchair was at that time on its Station. All alone. "All the colleagues are gone, at midnight, in front of the hospital, around the fire watch the work," says the resident.
