Stollen
Lebkuchen
Anise oookies
Hazelnut cookies
Bars of Swiss
Chocolate
Oranges wrapped in
tissue
Frost on the windows
New hats and mittens
A freshly cut
Christmas tree
Narrow streets with
snow piled high
Softly fallen snow
twinkling beneath the stars
Fire burning brightly
in the wood stove
Sausages wrapped in
butcher paper
Crusty Bauern Brot
(farmer's rye bread)
My uncle pretending
to be St. Nicholas
Yummy Apple Strudel
fresh from the oven
Church bell ringing
at midnight on Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas!
Frohe Weihnachten!
The little town I was born in. |
