I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family Marian! I just wanted to share with you that my husband and I just got back from Germany, we went to spend time with my niece who has lived there for three years. We had an amazing time and loved the Christmas marts and the hot mulled wine! What part of Germany did you live in? We stayed in Eltvillle, near Weisbaden, at a tiny country hotel complete with vineyard and horses. I could definitely live there, Germany was exactly how I pictured it in my mind. My great niece introduced us to her school friends as her Oma and Opa:) loved it!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and quality time with family. Thank you so much for another year of sharing your home with us 🙂
Merry Christmas Marian, hope you have a wonderful day.
