Spitzkoppe, situated between Arandis and Usakos, stands as a testament to the impact of climate change, altering age-old Christmas traditions for the elderly residents in the area.

It is known for its visually stunning landscapes, once painted a green horizon during every festive season, creating a picturesque backdrop for Christmas celebrations.

However, the elderly inhabitants of Spitzkoppe and the surrounding farms now lament that the effects of climate change have transformed their beloved region.

They express a poignant sentiment that it seems as though the gates of heaven have closed indefinitely, with not a single raindrop gracing the earth in a considerable span of time. 

This drastic change has cast a shadow over the festive season, impacting crops and leading to the loss of numerous animals. 

The elderly residents sadly observe the gradual disappearance of nature before their eyes.
