I don't know how much time I can dedicate to being online during the next few days, so I would like to wish all my Gather friends a merry Christmas now!

Today, on the 24th, it is a tradition in Germany to gather under the Christmas tree in the evening with your family and exchange presents. We don't wait for the 25th.
So, this evening we will be meeting hubby's family and tomorrow afternoon, we will meet them again with his grandma.

On the 27th, we will be heading to south Germany to visit my parents and on the 30th, we will be heading north to Berlin to meet my best friends. We will also be celebrating the new year in Berlin. Yay!

If you are interested in checking out some related photo albums, here they are (from the past):

Weihnachten (Christmas)

Happy New Year 2012

Winters 2009 and 2010

I hope we will have the chance to take new photos this year!

A Merry, Merry Christmas to you.....such lovely photos....I really love the Nativity! When I was growing up, my small family would celebrate on Christmas Eve.......but when I got married, it all changed to Christmas Day! I'm hoping that, starting next Christmas we'll be taking a family trip each year (we didn't this year cause we're going to Alaska next August!).
