All About Christmas

Wow its only a month left this year. Time flies! Before having a new year, people here are very busy for decorating everywhere, shopping for Christmas and are ready for it in proper ways!

Decorated office in cheep way. A Chocolate box to countdown for the X'mas is opened every day till then.


Decorated downtown in fabulous way. For some reason, we have Frankfurt market till the X'mas! German Beers, Hot wines, German Sausages, and German Christmas cake, Stollen!!! Birmingham is now surrounded by German Christmas mood.

Of course, even though its cold night, they drink beers outside under the statue of Father Christmas, Santa Claus!

Oh, the 'advent calendar'! I remember that from my youth! Actually, I always thought the chocolate was おいしくない!! But when I was really young we didn't even have chocolate behind the door, only a picture!!!

I'm looking forward to trying some German sausage! 楽しみによ!

Yes, the German Christmas market we call 'Weihnacht markt' is so romantic with snow, hot wine, and a little bit coldness. You can really enjoy the most famous one in Nuermberg close to our hometown! Please come and join if you had a time!!

Hi Jun
This is Catherine. Your blog is nice. You have taken some super pictures. It's funny how in NZ we have many of the same things like advent calenders but we don't have snow! I hope things are going well for you.

Hi Obwegesser!
I found only today your blog... it's really nice and I like it. It's full of pictures, thoughts and emotions. I really love it. You're also able to describe your feelengs both with worlds and images. It's also nice and interesting to see the same world I see every day but with different eyes!

あけましておめでとう☆
と言っても、カナダはお正月を感じさせるものが何もない。
クリスマスか…。
なんか遠い昔のことのようだな…。
フレンチシェフでパテシエの超男前の彼氏になんか作ってもらったけど、ワインをしこたまシャンパンをしこたま飲んでしまったせいで何を食べたのか何一つ覚えてない…。
で、×××の最中に寝てしまって、怒られたらしいけど、それさえもうろ覚えでそのまま寝てしまい、朝起きたら怒ってた。
という感じです。
今年もよろしくね☆
じゅんちゃんの2006年のイギリス生活がますます楽しくなりますように!

そちらはとっても寒いみたいだね。鹿児島ももうすでに雪降りましたよっ(積もりました)
私も4月から復職する予定です。
じゅんちゃんにとってすばらしい一年になりますように・・・
