I know.... I know.... It has been a few weeks since I last posted and you are beginning to get a little anxious! My goal of trying to blog every week has kind of gone out the window. Although, I still intend to keep posting as regularly as possible, to be honest sometime my life doesn't feel exciting enough to come up something interesting to write about every week. Don't believe me.... Why don't you try it!
Well as many of you know I am a little bit of a Christmas fanatic. I don't think it is my fault really.... when your birthday is the 24th and you are sent home from the hospital in a stocking I am pretty sure you have no choice but to LOVE the holiday! So you can't REALLY blame the over abundance of love for Santa on me now can you??
That being said I think that Germany might have been a dangerous choice for my Christmas loving self to get lost in! Let's just say that Germany is fueling my Christmas fire.


I think it is safe to assume that when I return to the states not only will my Christmas decoration collection be out of control but my obsession with the joy and cheer that comes along with them could become obnoxious to all of you Grinches who think that setting up a tree before Thanksgiving is out of the question. After all Germans don't celebrate Thanksgiving... and this is where the tree originated... so by all means when you feel the Christmas spirit, be it Early November or not...EMBRACE IT!
Now, we have only ventured out to two Christmas markets thus far (calm down...December doesn't even start till tomorrow so I think I am still ahead of the game) but believe me by the time the season is over I think I will have plenty more fabulous adventures to let you in on!

Hi - I am a friend of Kitty's in Cedar Vale. We lived in Worms Germany in 69-70. I taught school in Mannheim and my husband worked with EM records in TASCOM Headquarters in Worms. He was drafted and we were fortunate to get Germany. Your blogs bring back so many special memorys and I have enjoyed every one of them. Two things came to my mind - the Christmas market in Frankfurt when a bird "dobbied" on my husband's head. He was so funny because he didn't want anyone to know and we rode with another couple. He sat with it on his head all the way home! the other thing was trying to get m and m candy to the lady who cleaned our house and our problems communicating. They loved our m and ms.
