Was it a white Christmas in Germany? Well, sort of. We had so much frost that all of the trees turned to white and enough frost accumulated to give the appearance of snow on the ground. Good enough! With bright sunshine and lots of frost, it was a wonderful Christmas morning here in Bann.
Merry Christmas to everyone back home! Jen, Julia, Luke, Reagan and I all wish we could be back in California and are looking forward to being home next year. We made the most of it over here. Luckily, the in-laws are here to help us celebrate this year.
Speaking of in-laws, Chef Gary has been busy making an assortment of Christmas dishes with a Martin family twist. In their family, they shun the traditional Turkey and Ham for all things Italian. Knowing this, I took Gary to the Pronto Italian grocery store in K-town and we bought all things Italian for Christmas eve and Christmas Day meals. We also bought what appeared to be Amaretto as an apertif. Big mistake. I took a shot of this stuff after our dinner last night and nearly lost it. I immediately switched back to Gluwein (the traditional hot spiced wine consumed during Christmas time in Western Europe).
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakuh, Sweet Kwanza, Good Ramadan, Joyous Winter Solstice, etc!
