Its Christmas!! When I was invited to go tree shopping and told that we would get the biggest tree, I thought to myself "Oh yeah, big tree woo!"
Little did I know, we really would get the biggest tree there. With glühwein in hand, my host dad Matt pointed to the biggest one right in front and asked me what I thought. I thought like, he was joking or so, and agreed it was an awesome tree.
And now its in my living room.
Truly a spectacular sight to behold and something completely unforgettable, this tree can only start to begin to symbolize how German's do Christmas.
From awesome adventkalendars (thank you mutti!) and to St. Nickolastag, everything is decorated and celebrated! We've made tons of batches of cookies and the candy drawer is never ending. My peanut butter cookies have been a huge hit so far, next week we'll be making the third batch because they go by so quickly.
School is zooming on, my German is zooming on at a slower pace, and suddenly we find ourselves already in December. After December, I'll have six months left. Somewhere in January is the halfway mark and I'm honestly astounded at how fast this has all gone. Suddenly I feel like I'll be left with no more time in my hands. Germany is becoming apart of me...its regular life for me now. And despite that I'm really glad that I feel like this, it will be strange to leave...
that's so cool!! :)
