| my Advent calendar. |
Since we spent our summer vacation in the south of England this year, I was particularly pleased about the Advent calendar with English tea from Dorset... I enjoyed every cup - and there is only one left... for tomorrow :-) Christmas Eve. Tomorrow the Christmas tree will be lit up in the living room and the Stollen will be cut in the afternoon, there will be potato salad with various sausages, the family will be united when the Christ Child comes.

I always enjoy walking through the State Art Collections and at Christmas time my heart and soul are especially open.

Semperoper "The Love for the Three Oranges"
Christmas market and Christmas parties
AND lots of handicrafts...

I bought three of these beautiful Christmas angels - AND and fold paper stars again... it's really fun.
...and this star is particularly beautiful.
All the very best to you and your family, Viola, for Christmas and the New Year. I will look forward to enjoying your blog in 2025.
AntwortenLöschen...Viola, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, be warm and well.
AntwortenLöschenMerry Christmas!
AntwortenLöschenMerry Christmas. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos.
AntwortenLöschenViola erregte meine Aufmerksamkeit durch die Pfähle, die sie auf den Lachs legen, um ihn zu kochen.
AntwortenLöschenZufälligerweise habe ich gerade einen Beitrag über die Geschichte des Stollens zu der Zeit veröffentlicht, als man noch keine Butter verwenden konnte.
Ich wünsche Ihnen frohe Weihnachten!
Happy Christmas Viola! I've enjoyed your blog this past year. Have a blessed day with your family!
AntwortenLöschenDen kalender teen høres veldig god ut. Jeg drikker også mye te. Så flotte de papirstjernene er! Hvordan lager du de?
AntwortenLöschenJeg ønsker deg og din familie en riktig god jul!
Klem fra Marit
Jeg brettet papirstjernen fra ni 5 x 5 cm papirbiter. Hver av de ni brikkene er et tip og deretter settes tip inn i hverandre for å danne en stjerne. (tip - Spitze)

AntwortenLöschenLiebe Viola,
AntwortenLöschenwas für ein wunderschöner Adventskalender und nun ist nur noch 1 Türchen welches geöffnet werden darf. Tolle Handarbeiten sind das. Der Engel ist ein wahres Kunstwerk so ein Handwerk können nicht mehr viele Menschen! Deine Sterne gefallen mir übrigens auch sehr gut. FROHE Weihnachten und alles Gute für das Neue Jahr wünschen wir Dir und Deiner Familie.
Herzliche Grüße
Kerstin und Helga

AntwortenLöschenI so enjoy reading of all your Christmas traditions in Germany. So different to here, where it is hot. Despite that, many of us still enjoy a hot traditional Christmas dinner. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

I wish you a very Merry X-mas or "Frohe Weihnachten". Fantastisc handicraft on the X-mas market. I lived 6 years in Munich and remember the X-mas market on Marienplatz in the middle of Munich very well. Especially the "real" Glühwein;-)
AntwortenLöschenYour paper creations are absolutely beautiful. And the X-mas angels are så delicate. What fantastic crocheting, something I never took too, if you know what I mean;-)
Enjoy the holidays and I wish you already now a Happy New Year:-)
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Viola!
AntwortenLöschenI loved joining you on your visit to the theatre to see "The Snow Queen" and the Christmas market sounds delightful. How gorgeous is that Christmas angel! xxx

I am behind in reading blogs but read about your Summer holiday and your other adventures. Love the Advent calendar...I tried bobbin lace many years ago...needed too much concentration!
AntwortenLöschenI hope you can reply to this as I cannot reply to your comments on my blog (Susans Sewing Space)
Me ha encantado tu reportaje. Que sigas teniendo unas Felices Fiestas.
AntwortenLöschenI'm behind reading blogs so I hope your Christmas was fantastic. That folk art museum looks terrific. I loved that star and the bobbin lace just wonderful. The Snow Queen -- perfect for the season, and so is time at the art galleries. I've always loved that Raphael Madonna. I'm sorry your English tea is gone but that just means another return visit, another advent calendar! Merry wishes for the rest of the season!
AntwortenLöschenFelice anno 2025
AntwortenLöschenMe atraen mucho esos mercadillos navideños con todo el encanto y belleza que encierran.
AntwortenLöschenMis mejores deseos para ti y tus seres queridos en este ya inminente nuevo año .
Un Abrazo
