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.

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.

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.

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.
