Christmas Tree with Piglets

Our Christmas tree this year has lot´s of home slippers hanging from it so that Santa has enough space for presents. For some odd reason a group of piglets have gathered around it. In order for them to be appropriately dressed each one is wearing a christmas accessoire.

Santa’s Luggage

I consider it to be a good sign that Santa has dropped his suitcase in our guest room. I did not dare to peek, but I desperately want to know what’s inside.

Putting on the Glitz

Tough choice to pick the right hat or antlers for the Christmas themed PopUp Tearoom. The Santa apron and the „HoHoHo“ Bling were mandatory, but I could not decide between the other three. At the end I went with the red & white sugar canes. They are the cutest.

Preparations for the Christmas Market in our Street

Last weekend we had the Christmas Market in our street. The smart friends do not only show up when it starts in the afternoon, they announce themselves for breakfast. To give it a little Christmas kick I prepared a Pumpkin Spice Granola. It`s the regular recipe from my book with added pumpkin pie spice and canned pumpkin. Not to forget, Sunday was also the 15th birthday of our downhill bike professional neighbor Robert. Each year I ask him what kind of cake he likes to have. He can pick anything he wants but he always chooses Banana Cream with Vanilla wafers.

Christmas Chandeliers

You guessed it already, but the chandeliers in the living room can not stay undecortated. The fake horn one has a story of it´s own as it´s weight is above 40kg and various ‚experts‘ refused to put it up there until our lovely neighbor saved the day. However, my husband still does not ‚risk‘ to put valuable electronic devices below it. Well it looks nice and someone has written a very long wishlist for Santa and put it up there.
