🎄Merry Christmas🎄

December 24, 2025

It is the time of the year when I can start breathing again after weeks that were filled with producing, packing orders, with organizing, preparing for and participating in Christmas markets, and with trying to catch up with all private Christmas preparations as well, next to working in my part-time job. It is a good time, and I don’t want to miss any part. But like every year, I will take some time out for family, relaxing, and getting some administrative stuff done.

I wish those who celebrate them peaceful and lovely Holidays, and to everyone a successful and simply good rest of the year. Take care. See you on January 5th again.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

In Love and Light

Christmas Songs – Merry Christmas

December 24, 2024

This is the last song and post for this year! For about six weeks, I worked more or less 24/7: main season for my business, Christmas markets, and hectic times at my employed job since my boss was absent due to illness. I will take a break until January 6th.

Christmas Songs – Little Drummer Boy

December 19, 2024

There will be no poems until Christmas. Instead, I’d like to share some of my favorite Christmas songs, which I grew up with and have loved since I heard them for the first time. Today, I go with an all-time favorite and classic. Have a lovely day!

Christmas Songs – Christmas Time

December 12, 2024

There will be no poems until Christmas. Instead, I’d like to share some of my favorite Christmas songs, which I grew up with and have loved since I heard them for the first time. Since we went to see Bryan Adams in concert lately, this one is a must. Have a lovely day!

This will be my last post this year. I am taking a break for the coming two weeks. Making time for my family, preparing my financial statements, and working on new ideas for my shop.

I wish every one of you a wonderful and Merry Christmas and the happiest New Year!

Our Choice Is Our Responsibility

Is peace a wish we wish forever
Is climate change just empty noise?
Is mankind meant to kill each other?
Do we still have a choice?

#PeaceSongTuesday – Christmas Edition #2

December 12, 2023

And here we go with another Christmas Song I’d like to share regarding compassion and support for the world and those who go through hardships – may it be wars, hunger, discrimination, violence… It’s a little easier to be nice during the season, let’s make use of it. There is something about Christmas time…

#PeaceSongTuesday – 74

December 5, 2023

It’s crazy but the season has already started again. I’d like to continue sharing songs that express compassion and support for those who go through hardships – may it be wars, hunger, discrimination, violence… Let them know it’s Christmas time.

The Time of Year!

December 25, 2022

It’s Christmas Day, and I felt like gifting you something special from our community. Many of you may know Colin. Colin knows my love for music very well and often shares some songs with me that are probably not so well known. A couple of weeks ago, he shared some Christmas songs and a Christmas poem he wrote with me. Unfortunately, due to other priorities, Colin has not the time to make a post on his blog. But he left it up to me to share the songs and the poem if I want to.

#PeaceSongTuedsay – Let There Be Peace on Earth

December 20, 2022

We have arrived at the last PeaceSongTuesday before Christmas. The song I am sharing today shows the connection clearly between Christmas and the peace we desperately need. The message is clear, and we all know it. Still, we need to remember: If we want peace on earth, it starts with oneself.

#PeaceSongTuesday – Someday At Christmas

December 13, 2022

Maybe the Christmas song has never spoken louder and clearer to me than this year. It is clear that I had to share it again. May someday at Christmas the world be free and healed.

#PeaceSongTuesday – The Greatest Love of All

December 6, 2022

When I checked out Christmas-peace songs, I stumbled over this one. I remember I heard it before and it went straight to my heart. It may appear that this is rather a love than a peace song. But when you listen to the lyrics until the end, you will see, it fits perfectly. Love is the greatest gift of all anyway. If we can feel it, we are living in peace.

Love To The World

Christmas season has begun
Opens my heart more
Makes me feel the love around
Stronger than before

#PeaceSongTuesday – Wouldn’t it be beautiful…

November 29, 2022

Until Christmas, I would like to adjust my PeaceSongTuesdays and post Christmas songs. I love Christmas songs, and I cannot recall one that is not coming down to peace and love. A few songs came to my mind instantly. Although I shared them already in previous years, it doesn’t hurt to share them again.

Side-note: I will take a break for the coming two weeks. I will dedicate the coming days to being with my family, working on the financial statements for my business, preparing and organizing new ideas for my business, and continuing working on my book. I will check on your posts from time to time, and only be posting spontaneously or not at all.

#SongTuesday – Xmas Edition

December 21, 2021

For the last Song Tuesday before Christmas, I chose a very atmospheric song performed by a fantastic band. Their talent and way of creating their songs make every Christmas song a special experience.

Mary Did You Know – Pentatonix

#SongTuesday – Xmas Edition

December 14, 2021

Here comes one of the newer Christmas classics. Although I knew it before, it will always remind me of the Rudolph movie that my daughter couldn’t wait to watch several times during the Christmas season.

And there is another Christmas song that I loved from the first moment I heard it. I thought that the message to spread has never been more important than today.

Have a great Tuesday!

One of my favorite Christmas songs. My favorite version is the on by Whitney Houston. This time, I am sharing another version. Love it too!

#JustAThought… When the Lights Return

December 6, 2021

QuoteFancy.com

About ten days ago, we turned on the Christmas lights around the house. Every year, this is a moment I wait for impatiently. At this time of year, these lights do something to me – and I mean Christmas lights in general. They make me smile, bring back the child in me, take me back to cozy and soothing December evenings when the kids were little, or remind me of lovely times at Christmas markets.
In summary: They warm my heart and support it to open up.

The Gift

I sit under the Christmas tree
Enchanted, mesmerized
A little package looks at me
I haven’t seen it, I’m surprised

First Snow

December 12, 2020

Last Saturday afternoon, it started to snow, and it snowed throughout Sunday. After no snow at all last season, I enjoyed it coming down again. I thought I’d share some photos of the landscape but also of our Christmas lights within the snow.

The Magic of Christmas 💖

December 21, 2015

I guess you all agree that Christmas is the time of year when we are more receptive to sharing love and compassion, lending hands, and being more tolerant than at any other time of the year. Although the hectic of finding our way through overcrowded stores and getting the last Christmas gifts just in time can be very stressful. But let’s leave that out for a moment and just concentrate on the meaning of Christmas.
