Weihnachtsgeschenke

This year, we are ahead of the game, for a change. We are done with everybody on our shopping list (woo hoo!) - except for Denzel. We want to buy all of his presents in Germany. It's kind of a tradition. Whenever we spend Christmas in Germany, on the night before Christmas Eve, G and I head to the pet store near G's parents' home, and we take our time browsing the aisles, searching for special little presents for our favorite boy. We always buy too much and we always lose all will power and give him present after present on Christmas Day! I'm really looking forward to spending the holiday in Germany this year. I haven't been to my second home :) since February. In anticipation, we've already attended one Weihnachtsmarkt, sponsored by the German Armed Forces Command of Virginia, and tonight, we are headed to a Gluewein Party. YUMMY.

I went to a Weihnachtsmarkt (though they called it Christkindlmarkt) at the German-American Society of Tulsa, but it wasn't the same (indoors...and all). They didn't have Gluewein, and you get to go to a Gluewein party! I'm so jealous!

I am so jealous you will be spending Christmas in Germany. I also consider that country my 2nd home so enjoy the time for both of us.
Also, with our dog, we are going all out. For his bday we had a party replete with doggy party cookies and loads of treats. I am scouting high and low for the perfect presents for him but we will get them Christmas Eve instead. Looks like both our dogs are spoiled...nothing wrong with that.

I had a cup in your honor!

But you know you can make it at home - I know it's not the same but just the smell and taste bring back good memories for me! Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? That's where L picked up the bottles which were the base...then she jazzed it up!

Unfortunately, no Trader Joe's in Tulsa. :(

Awww..That's sweet!

I think it's perfectly normal to spoil your dog - they give us soooo much love 24/7, so why not show them how much we appreciate their companionship?

Damn, damn, damn, damn! When we are in Frankfurt, I will look for the spice packets that you add to red wine to make Gluewiein. I've tried those before too. I got you Girl!

Ooo! Thanks! Let me know how much, and I'll pay you back. Grab a few if you have space. :)

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
