Musician and extreme athlete Joey Kelly stays out of buying Christmas gifts for the family. "I'm looking forward to Christmas," said the 49-year-old of the German Press Agency. But he doesn't buy gifts himself. "My wife does that. She has more taste and she also knows what people like," he said. His wife therefore takes care of everything that is given to the children, grandma and others.

"Sometimes I'm surprised when I finally see what we're giving away," admitted the member of the well-known family band Kelly Family. "I'm not a shopping person at all. Shopping is pure stress for me."

The time around Christmas this year will be a special one for the Kelly Family - the band is on tour again. The big premiere will take place on Friday (November 18) in Krefeld under the title "The Mega Christmas Show". According to Joey Kelly, rehearsals have been going on since August.
