Meine Liebste Saison im Jahr, wann gehts endlich wieder los

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.

Christmas Window Decoration

I have already set up the Christmas decoration in our windows a couple of weeks back but my hubby refused to take pictures. He said that it does not make sense as long as there is no snow in the background. I can understand that. But once we had the first snow he told me that too much white makes it hard to get good pictures. Well, what can I say, after a little convincing he took them after all and I like them very much.

White Chocolate Cookies ’n‘ Cream Fudge

Do you like White Chocolate?, do you like Marshmallows?, do you like Oreo Cookies? Then you certainly love this White Chocolate Cookies ’n‘ Cream fudge. The White mixture of evaporated milk, white chocolate morsels und marshmallow cream is one of the best home made ‚impersonations‘ of the Oreo white filling that I came across recently. So these sweet yummy bars might also be called ‚Cookies fudged into home made white Oreo filling“.

Santa´s Village on the Fireplace

This year Santa decided to set up an entire village on our main fireplace. With little shops, cafes and tin cars delivering christmas trees and other cute things. Santas electrician aka my hubby was a little grumpy setting the lights up as the different shops do not have the same lighting system. Well, Santa does not care about ‚cables‘, he just want it to be nice. I am sure he will thank his electrician with a couple of gifts under the tree this year.

Why wait for Christmas?

On the weekend I´ll be having some friends over for an afternoon tea and I just finished deciding on the menue. It was very hard to bring it down to the ‚absolute minimum‘ as my head is full with new recipes I want to try. The result is a super rich mouthwatering sequence of sweetness with a little kick from the egg nog. An indulgence for the holiday season. As you know: Christmas calories don´t count.
