Keeping up
I made a list the other day.
(Does that sound like the start of an old Beatles song?)
Even though I’ve had a couple of busy days at home, I don’t seem to have ticked more than a couple of things off it, however. Oh dear.
I might have cut all the numbers for the pages of my Christmas Journal, but I haven’t done more than the first page so far and it’s already the 5th. I’ve made only half of our cards and the greenery I bought the other day is still outside, laid on the table in the garden.
I’m keeping up though. I went out for coffee with a couple of friends this morning and caught up with their news. I’m enjoying my daily reading and keeping up to date with the very important post which arrives each day; brochures from the cruise company and catalogues with tempting offers for party clothes. With a cup of tea, lebkuchen and a sweet little tealight windmill, an hour or more at the kitchen table flies by. Today, my Advent activity was to make a list of favourite Christmas films and the first few were suggested at the top of the page - in German, of course. So my Hero and I smiled as we worked out the title we’d know. Could you guess?
There was also a film we didn’t know until we visited the location where it was made whilst we were on holiday a couple of years ago: Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
The thing is, one thing I don’t seem to have is a tradition of watching Christmas films though perhaps I could add Liebe braucht keine Ferien to the list above. Do you have any more suggestions for the list?
