Time sure is running  away.. here we are on the 2nd Advent, this means 2 more to go and Christmas is knocking at your door. Have you done your Christmas preparations yet?? What are some traditions that you have in your family.. would love to  hear them…!!!!

This week we made cookies and been listening to lots of Christmas songs both German and English; Christmas season is always a great time in our house, you can hear the kids giggle and sing Christmas songs and we bake cookies and the smell lingers throughout the house for days… unlike the cookies, they are gone in seconds….

I love how peaceful everything is and sitting on the couch looking at all the little lights and thinking back how Christmas was at home…. Just love this time of year….

I came across this very nicely written article from Mimi Sheraton written for the New York times about spending Christmas time in Germany…. check it out and make a picture of yourself  why I miss home the most during this time of the year  and you can also hear another song  St. Nikolaus Day tomorrow is St. Nikolaus day.. come back to find out what that is all about…..

Now take your loved ones and enjoy a peaceful quiet Sunday and remember how the holidays were when you were little…
