So many lovely greetings and pictures! Thank you all.
Brad: this is your own garden, isn't it? I've seen pics of it before. This one is postcard perfect.
Kelda, John: I like the song very much, too. I love that its lyrics are so contradictory to the ususal Christmas sweetness. Jens discovered it some years ago, and we both instantly liked it. It's slowly catching on in Germany now.
But I don't think the guy in the video is Morgan Freeman.
Milo, Marcia: thank you.
It has been snowing non-stop for the last 24 hours. Winter-wonderland outside. I'll take some photos and post them later.
If memory serves, this is the first time in my adult life that we have white Christmas.
For Christmas I got a charm for my bracelet and a book, both from hubby. Then a heart made of gypsum from my son, a jingling pendant for my handbag (love the jingling) from one daughter. And hubby and me got a huge surprise together from our daughters: a big collage from our family, made of dozens and dozens photos. There must be almost a hundred pics in it. They selected, printed, cut out and glued every single one themselves. And we didn't have the faintest idea, they managed to do it all in secrecy. Every time they were alone in the house during the last weeks, they hurried to get on the computer and printer. Wow, left me speechless.
Off to the in-laws soon. The driving will be no fun, but we'll bey very cautious and slow.
