The Day before Christmas

The Day Before Christmas

'Tis the day before Christmas, and all through the house
The puppies are squeaking an old rubber mouse.
The wreath which had merrily hung on the door
Is scattered in pieces all over the floor
.

The stockings that hung in a neat little row,
Now boast a hole in each one of the toes.
The tree was subjected to bright-eyed whims,
And now, although splendid, it's missing some limbs.

I catch them and hold them, be good I insist.
They lick me, then run off to see what they've missed.
And now as I watch them, the thought comes to me,
That theirs is the spirit that Christmas should be.

Should Children and Puppies yet show us the way,
And teach us the joy that should come with this day?
Could they bring the message that's written above,
And tell us that, most of all, Christmas is love!

Baby, it's cold out there...!

 

It's cold also in Florida...

 Hi my friends,

It's cold also here in Florida! Our small electric oven is running and bearly warming up the living room :))

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious

Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before 

brrr.... stay warm everybody!!!

What's the size of your Christmas tree?

Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree.
In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.

Hi my friends,

This is what we have here in Florida as a Christmas tree :)

No, no...we can buy also here real Christmas trees for in the house. But I like the decorated palm trees better.

I'll share with you from tomorrow on until Christmas every day a Christmas-Deco-Photograph that I've made over the years, hope you'll like it.

Thank you for all the nice comments yesterday and I'll see you tomorrow.

Christmas Eve...

Christmas eve is the time when we used to celebrate in Europe the arrival of the Christ Child, an angel like figure who brings all the gifts under the decorated Christmas tree. And this believe is still actual and celebrated today in many countries in Europe.

And eight years ago, coming to the U.S. I had to learn new, it's no the Christ Child who brings all the gifts, it is SANTA, an old fat man climbing into chimneys and working hard with big stress on his neck, to be in time to every household in the States and to make the kids happy! How the "heaven" is this old red faced man able at all, to do this in his old age...? :) These will remain open questions for me.... every year, every Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
to my kids and family in good old Europe and I want tell you that I'm missing you so much - not only at Christmas time!

And MERRY CHRISTMAS
also to all my friends in oversea and here, where ever you are!

I'll Be Home For Christmas
Kim Gannon, Walter Kent (c) 1943

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Oh Christmas Tree...

It's in blue - and it's beautiful!

This is a picture of the beautifully decorated Cypress-House in Key West. Everyone walking around town stops here to see and enjoy all the lights as they dream about a white Christmas up north.

Diese zauberhaft schoene Dekoration stammt vom Cypresshaus in Key West. Ob Gross ob Klein, jedermann bleibt dort mit offenen Augen stehen und geniesst freudenstrahlend diesen maerchenhaften Lichterschmuck am ganzen Haus. Man glaubt sogar, die Engel singen zu hoeren.... wenn man genau hinhoert!
