Between Nikolaus, der Weinachtsmann and Canada Santa there's a lot of action at our house around Christmas. :-)christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991148606497381478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17221781.post-89671761148162189172007-12-06T08:43:00.000+00:002007-12-06T08:43:00.000+00:00Lynda - Isn't it interesting how little religion s...Lynda - Isn't it interesting how little religion seems to be involved these days; Christmas in a muslim country? I suppose it it mainly for tourists?<BR/><BR/>Eric - It gives you a lovely, cosy feeling when the candle light chases away the darkness.<BR/><BR/>Haddock - In Sweden the turkey is replaced by ham, which also takes a lot to get right, and everybody has their own, precise way of cooking it!

I always found that having Xmas on Xmas eve was a bit weird at first, but I rather quite like it now. It seems less hectic than back in the UK where the focus seems to be more on not burning the turkey! :)<BR/>Hope Nickolaus brought you some nice goodies! :)Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310886858378994111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17221781.post-43098234333744525882007-12-06T03:37:00.000+00:002007-12-06T03:37:00.000+00:00I always love Christmas time.

There's something about it that you can smell in the air and almost taste, always leaves a warm fuzzy feeling of contentment. <BR/><BR/>Nice looking nic nacs Swen.. :)Eric Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546335220580557792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17221781.post-31696888517421879872007-12-05T14:39:00.000+00:002007-12-05T14:39:00.000+00:00Hmmm excitement - this will be my first german xma...Hmmm excitement - this will be my first german xmas in 3 years and I am more excited than miss 6 years old. We are heading over on the weekend, surprisingly, Cairo has loads of decorations for the yuletide season, even a huge Santa on a sleigh in the mall attached to the hotel. I love the mix of all the good bits from mixed families - it just makes it more wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting on my blog - nice to know that someone actually reads it!
