The German Christmas Museum is located in Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber. It houses a permanent collection of ornaments, decorations, toys and artifacts depicting the evolution of German Christmas traditions and practices from the Middle Ages through about 1950.

Attached to the museum, there is a huge Christmas store which sells traditional German decorations such as Räuchermännchen, Nussknacker, Christmas balls,…

We spent our Christmas evening in Kitzbühel and decided to take a nightly stroll around the town after the wonderful Christmas buffet in our hotel. A bit uphill from our hotel, I saw the full moon rising from behind the hills showing the mountain’s contour. In the picture it looks like the star which guided the three wise men to the barn where Jesus was born

Haven’t had a lot of time to post this week and I haven’t been feeling well lately, I guess the flu which is circulating at work finally caught up with me… So just a quick post before the weekend starts.

This picture shows the traditional wooden stalls on the Christmas market in Cologne, selling delicacies like various kinds of jam.

Have a nice weekend!

I just got back from Stubai . I was there on a business trip, and there was really a lot of snow (pictures will follow later). It always reminds me of Christmas time. We always go snowboarding during the Christmas holidays and this year we decided to go to Kitzbühel, Austria. I hope there will be some snow, because I want to have a white Christmas.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. And actually I have to admit I already bought a christmas tree… I know, waaaaaaaaaay too early, but well, it’s kinda cosy… (and even my cat likes it, well maybe he just likes the decoration of the tree).

But well this is what it looks like…

(in the meanwhile we have already placed the tree somewhere else because Freggels liked it a little bit too much).
