 Good Morning Everyone, Gosh, the diner looks nice, with all the Christmas decoration! You folks have done a super job this year, Flo! Yeah, I´ll have my usual dose of coffee and a blueberry muffin.Christian did not come yesterday, but he is now on the way - just in time. Hope he has a good train ride - the trains are usually packed. We have lots of sn*w and ice, so it is a "White Christmas" for us this year. I will drive to the train station in two hours to take our little one home [:)][:)][:)]I am not quite sure what to think about the past discussion - all I´d like to add is, that with a little more respect and tolerance, our planet would be a better place - isn´t it that, what Christmas is all about?Today is a busy day for all fathers and mothers over here. The Christmas tree has to be put up and decorated, a nice smell coming from the kitchen fills all houses. Christmas Eve is the big day for all children, as Santa is coming as soon as it gets dark. The living room is usually off limits for the kids during the day. A little silver bell is rung when Santa has brought all the presents, the kids have to sing Christmas carols and then the door opens .... After all presents have been unwrapped, it is time for dinner. In my family we had a special dish, originating in Eastern Prussia, the home of my parents. Its main ingredient is a special sausage, made only for Christmas. There is  also bread crumb dumplings, sauerkraut and a thick and rich sauce. We ate so much of it that our father made us drink a "Schnaps" to help digest it! With the passing away of the people  born there, when it was still German, this tradition is dying out, as the ingredients are not available anymore... [:(] But it is still a fond memory of my youth. We don´t have a Christmas tree - for the first time in my life. But at about $ 80 for a 5´ tree, we cannot afford to buy one. I am a little sad about this. Blessings to all of you!
