I Can't Resist
Seeing Laura's pictures of her new ornaments is making me homesick for mine. My ornaments, of course, are in storage in Connecticut this Christmas. I do miss them, even though it wouldn't have been convenient or practical to have a tree in Munich since we are spending the holidays away from home.
But I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to recycle some of my pictures from the last couple of years.
Here you see one of my favorites, my Ghengis Kahn ornament, in a picture I took last December. It's a Steinbach ornament, one of several I bought last year in Connecticut. How funny it was that I discovered these German ornaments just six months before we learned that we were being transferred to Munich! I didn't buy any Steinbach ornaments in Germany this year, although I certainly saw them for sale.
In my opinion, no tree is complete without a barbarian warrior lurking in its branches.
Well, despite my bout with insomnia last night I am up and (mostly) awake today. Still coughing and sniffling and aching, but awake. I have the house to myself and am tempted to watch Harry Potter (the first one) again, since it is here on videotape. I own it on DVD but I've never been able to get it to play on my DVD player in my computer at home. Hm.
According to Amanda my birthday scarf is coming along. I am very excited. I feel my Slytherin side exerting itself even as I type.
Stay tuned for a few more pictures of Christmas' past. I am taking pictures this year as well, but won't have access to them until I get back to Germany, most likely. However, the strange thing is -- this is the fourth house we've been in this year that doesn't have a Christmas tree. I am pretty sure my family will have trees when we get to South Georgia, but so far we've seen neither limb nor needle of one.
