The tree is done - we decorate it every year on the 24th -, the presents are hidden since days on a secret place, the dinner is prepared and the cd player is playing Christmas songs. Only some hours left and the celebration can start. At about lunch time the kids are taken to town to get a hot chocolate with marshmallows. After we want to listen to the singing at the church - will my kids join them this year? Then it is time for the Christchild to bring the presents ...
Irgendwie wird der Baum von Jahr zu Jahr immer voller - hier im halbfertig geschmueckten Zustand. Zu den Basteleien der letzten Jahre aus der Schule, Kindergarten und der Preschool gesellen sich nun noch die im heurigen Jahr von den Kindern gekauften Kugeln, Herzen und Voegeln - sie konnten die einfach nicht im Geschaeft zuruecklassen - und nachdem ich nie eine passende Christbaumspitze gefunden habe, aber mir in diesem Jahr dieser kleine Elf zugefluesstert hat "pack mich ein und nimm mich mit", darf dieser nun hoch oben auf der Sptze ueber das Weihnachtsfest wachen.
Somehow the tree gets more and more things on - here you can see it almost done but believe me - the kids found a lot more stuff to put on. Additional to the crafts done in kindergarden, school and preschool they were allowed to buy an item each this year. So we have some more balls, hearts and a bird. The only thing I could never find was a beautiful star for the top of the tree. When I was in town one day I passed this little elf and it was like he was whispering "take me with you". So this year he is sitting on top of the tree and watching the Christmas celebration.
Now it is time to wish you all a joyful Christmas with your loved ones!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS
