Schöne Weihnachten
Denkt euch
Denkt euch, ich habe das Christkind gesehen!
Es kam aus dem Walde, das Mützchen voll Schnee,
mit rotgefrorenem Näschen.
die kleinen Hände taten ihm weh;
denn es trug einen Sack, der war gar schwer,
schleppte und polterte hinter ihm her.
Was drin war, möchtet ihr wissen?
Ihr Naseweis, ihr Schelmenpack.
Meint ihr, er wäre offen, der Sack?
Zugebunden bis oben hin!
Doch war gewiß etwas Schönes drin.
Es roch so nach Äpfeln und Nüssen.
- Anna Ritter -
Hiermit möchte ich allen Lesern
schöne und besinnliche Weihnachten wünschen

Weihnacht in Schwarz- Weisz
Nachdem mein Weihnachtsoutfit vom vorigen Jahr warme Farbtöne hatte... habe ich mich diesmal für Schwarz- Weisz entschieden.
All diese Teile habe ich schon lange im Schrank, denn sie lassen sich gut kombinieren, immer wieder anders.
Aber sie passen auch untereinander perfekt.
Nur dasz ich noch ein rotes Tuch als I-Tüpfelchen brauche...
After my Christmas outfit from last year had warm tones ... this time I have decided to go for black and white.
All these parts I have long had in the cupboard, because they can be combined well, always different.
But they fit each other perfectly.
Only I need still a red scarf as icing on the cake...
Ich habe mich passend zur Weihnachtsdeko gestylt,
und diese farblich passend zur Katze ausgewählt,
welche neuerdings am liebsten auf dem Tisch sitzt...
Katze wiederum geht im Partnerlook mit Plüschbären Bruno (der Problembär!) –
soviel Perfektionismus soll mir erstmal einer nachmachen ;-)
I have styled myself suitable for Christmas,
and this color selected to match the cat,
who prefers sitting recently on the table ...
Cat in turn goes in matching outfits with plush bear Bruno -
more perfectionism really is not ;-)
Ich wünsche ein frohes und harmonisches Fest
( womit ich jetzt nicht nur die Farbstimmungen meine)
I wish you a happy and harmonic Christmas
(Which I do not mean only the color moods)

Our Beautiful World: Christmas
Wish you a merry Christmas, a holy and quiet time

Church of St. Sylvester - altar room
From here something about:
The St. Sylvestri Church is located just a few dozen meters to the southwest of the town square of Wernigerode . It stands in the historically oldest part of the city. Thought there was already in the 9th Century at this location is a small house of worship . From this structure is today but nothing yet .At the beginning of the 13th Century, began at this point with the construction of an early Gothic basilica. This named after Pope Sylvester church was first mentioned in 1230 . It was converted to the Canons of St. Sylvestri in 1265 .Over the centuries the church has undergone numerous changes . The original bell tower was in the 18th Century demolished and replaced by a new one in half-timbered style with a Baroque dome . Other major restoration was done in 1881 and 1886. The Sylvestrikirche then received , inter alia, new aisles as well as their existing today tower in the style of Gothic Revival architecture .Also worth seeing is the inside of the church. Here you will find among others an altarpiece dating from around 1480 and a baroque organ , which was built around 1790. Other features of the temple are the two medieval church bells. The older of them dates back to 1297th

Solstice
Christmas is the holy day for the people to whom God has sent his son.
Solstice is the holy day for the Earth and all beings that live on it.
I think we can both celebrate and this day is a good opportunity to give attention to everything that surrounds us .
I live this day aware of and I want to symbolically share the things that I myself get . What does gratitude for me, because to have enough to get and I do not see as a matter of course to .
I'm doing this for many years in my own way.
In the past I‘ve gone to the woods alone , today we go along with my love .
We take good things with us to prepare a gift table for the beings in nature.
After all, why should we just always people give ?
We go up a mountain , always to the same place .
There are some trees that we welcome such good friends.
Then we sweep a place, draw a circle and put the gifts out .
We thank the elements for their presence and blessings to us.
One should not take anything for granted, but sometimes think of it consciously .
The air that we breathe , the sun / the fire that warms us , the water to drink and the earth that sustains us and nourishes .
We ask that the storm uprooted no trees or houses covering... the rain at the right time comes for plants and trees do not wither and not too much , no flood ... that the sun gives heat and power instead of burning and fire does not cover the forest ... - There are always spontaneous thoughts and words , no fixed memorized text.
We wish the creatures and the trees, the winter well to survive in order to welcome the spring again can .
One thing is certain, the sun is now rising again higher and the darkness go away. This is a reason to rejoice.
We then go home and ignite us a lot of lights on .
Later it will be there so maybe go,
but this we do not want to disturb ;-)
but this we do not want to disturb ;-)

Random 5 Friday
I
I am a woman who likes to surround sheself with beautiful decorative things, but sometimes it gets me too much - I can not see all those Christmas decorations !
II
I have shown in my blog this year too much clutter. Decorations, which I saw somewhere in the city, in shops ... the least of them is from my own house ...
III
I have readers in distant countries and they asked for German Christmas. That's why I made all these images and shown in my Christmas Series . But now it is enough and I 'm going to end this.
IV
For myself, the relationship with Christmas is ambivalent. Beautiful memories of childhood, I have not so much as that Christmas means a lot to me .
For me it's more of a sense of how children noses at shop windows flattened and sadness to gain all the beautiful shiny things never . Whether out of poverty or some other reason .. I could say it. Longing and sadness ... a sense of exclusion - being, are not part of the beautiful glossy globe with kindly and loving people ...
My favorite memory of Christmas is really the time with the homeless . Where we were in dilapidated houses and cold and filth ... and little food, simple things only . But there was something human like cohesion , which was nice and warm.
It was long ago and forgotten much . A good time was not, realistically ... but something changed awareness of time and the view of material things. if you learn how simple and primitive one can live and must and a lot of things missing ...
That shapes for the rest of life.
And that was similar with Mary and Joseph.. to come back on Christmas and what it actually means.
V
We will celebrate Christmas not as consumer and decoration holiday,
but very quiet for us.
On your own Art
Of course also with many lights .
Have a qiet and true Christmas all -

Christmas in white and gold...
Kinda I like no longer see all this Christmas decorations ...
while outside the weather is like spring.
And anyway, Christmas means something different than decorations and stuff.
But you can not in the picture hold for a blog.
This is difficult to visualize ... and also do not say.

The little fog...
Our weather these days is not Christmas-like, but more spring-like.
On the day it is really mild in the sun.
I walked in the forest and on a pond I saw a little fog.
Just as a small strip above the water.
He moved across the pond and then broke up -
a quiet little show on the edge, at which I arrived just in time
