Beautiful! The simple, well-shaped pine Tom purchased is the first real tree we've had in 25 years. Germans love nature, very simply decorating their trees, not overdoing it . Usually with a few white lights ( a string of 50 is what we used), strand of beads or two, red balls and a dozen straw ornaments, the project is complete. Your evergreen is now decorated, but not overdone.
The really great feature of a tree like this is- if those nasty lights short out, you know which string and can easily toss another one on. Now listen to a few Bing Crosby tunes, sit back and enjoy!
This weekend we once again went to Christmas markets and found a great one. Coburg, only 30 miles north, hosted a wonderful, artistic event. It was around 40 degrees and rained Saturday and Sunday. We enjoyed sitting in a cafe watching fair goers with umbrellas sip gluhwein and eat brats out the window. Inside we had hot chocolate and ate some sinfully good dessert with about a million calories in it.
