For Kevin and Family - Christmas in St. Chuck

So you get a little of what you missed or didn't on Christmas in St. Charles, here's a pictorial. Peggy and I spent it alone. We made that choice. We had invitations but we wanted to just be together.

We decorated and did so in good German Style. Went to Church, ate a nice dinner, looked at each other, prayed and went to bed.

Our Christmas tree was smaller this year, but it's still pretty, Peggy does a great job decorating.



Even though it all pretty much melted, the snow was nice and made everything look all christmassy in early December. Now we have just the lightest of dusting of white on the ground.





These are the Roses I bought in Honor of Peggy's birthday. Yellow is a favorite color of hers. It's not fair to her that she has a December Birthday.




Birthday Roses from Tim and Raquella, very nice.




The Christmas Pyramid we bought at Kathie Wohlfarht's in Rotenburg an d Taube. Made in East Germany before the wall fell. Lit on Christmas eve.




This is the Schwibbögen we bought in Wittenburg before the wall came down. Also lit on Christmas eve.




The Greenhouse is blooming, glad we got that hot tub out of there (thanks Kevin) This is what it looks like Christmas Morning in full Sunshine and 40 degrees.





We are off to Friends houses this afternoon. I'm not excited. It's quiet here, the fire is in the fire place and I enjoy it all. Being friendly is such hard work.
