Christmas celebration

This year our family Christmas celebration was once again at our place.
Preperations were a bit stressful from time to time but the work really was worth it.

The Christmas tree was wonderfull. It's the straightest one I've ever found. The prices for the trees are rather high in my opinion. Our tree cost 25 Euros, an artificial one of the same size would cost about 50 and would pay of in the second year. But the beauty and warmth of mother natures real trees is just too sovereign and so we will stay with the real ones. Julia did a great job with the decoration.



The times before we had raclette but this year we decided to try it with cold cuts. It was excelent and more than enough. A great plus of cold cuts instead of raclette is the lack of intense smell.



And here are two photos of our beautiful window decoration. Julia just bought the one for the small window this year. Looks great!



I guess it was a wonderful celebration for everyone. To bad my granny couldn't come, but she had some serious pain in her back.

40 persons bbq

Yesterday a friend of us made a bbq-party for 40 persons. First we were a bit unsure how this could possibly work out but it did just fine.
In the afternoon I helped him mounting an awning to the carport to make sure all 40 guests had enough room to sit protected if it started to rain.
The music was good and the three barbecues were enough for all to make their stuff.
To bad we had gotten to get up early that day so we already were tired by midnight and had to go home.
Later there would have been a campfire and marshmallows.
I really hope we will be less tired next time.
