Welcome to our (christmassy) home! Today´s Thursday Thirteen brings you 13 random Christmas decorations out of 90 pictures I took on Sunday - realizing I´m thankful for digi-cams =)

1.)We found the Tinkerbell 2006 snowglobe at the Disney Store on our trip to Paris. One reason we planned this weekend vacation was to find some “my 1st Christmas”-stuff you can´t get in Germany… Tinkerbell decided to come with us. Now she´s living on livingroom´s davenport.

2.)Frosty and the noseless reindeer are wasting their time on the TV.

3.)Have a look inside my kitchen =) I took this pic standing on the patio.

4.)Hopefully I recover all the decorations I placed on 7th of January 2007 - the day after Epiphany is the traditional day to remove the Christmas decorations round here. There are tons of deco in every single room. Even on the vanity in downstair´s guest toilet…

5.)This Advent wreath is hanging in the hall (2nd floor)

6.)Guest toilet again. Mirror mirror on the wall…

7.)Our good old friend Rudolph stands sentinel over the living room. He moves his head from side to side - illuminating the windows. Too bad he is not a racing reindeer… A side-to-side-looking-illuminated-raindeer is sooooooo interesting! Our baby Mr L tries to study and to nibble him every single second. =)

8.)The landing between first and second floor: A little Advent wreath I threw together using the leavings of spruce and decorations. Seems to be a bit lonely… so desolated we forgot to lit the first candle on Sunday =)

9.)Please enter our living room… and have a look at the window above Rudolph. There is a little Santa sitting in the candleholder. Shake his right hand - he will thank you singing “Jingle Bells”, “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” letting his huge nose blink in time with the songs. Great kitsch…

10.)Our “main” Advent wreath on the table in dining room accompanied by 2 little reindeers…

11.)The decoartion on the stair-rail make going up- or downstairs turn out to be a balancing act - but we love it =)

12.)
Little stars are illuminating the other window in the living room

13.)Little Santa is having a breather somewhere in our home. He loves to play hide with us… =)

Homer: Lisa, Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos.

Paris

I am…

drinking: French Cappuccino at Café De La Comedie, Paris

listening: to Radio NRJ France

feeling: deeply in love

reading: Paris - but actually I don´t need it. I´ve the best Paris tour guide I can imagine by my side :)

thinking: about Mr L who is enjoying a cuddly weekend with his grandparents Miss Elli and Mr Gargamel - though we are enjoying our weekend we miss him so badly… but we know he remains in the best hands we can devise.

doing: lighting up a candle in Notre Dame - my fave place to visit in Paris. I fell in neverending love with the “lady of Paris” during childhood. Everytime I visit Paris I have to pay my respect to “my” cathedral as well. Having a look at the rose windows, greeting the Gaegoyles and setting a candle alight are my personal “must-haves” when staying in Paris…

wanting: to come back to Paris soon… maybe to spent another amorous weekend with Mr F alone… or to show Disneyland Paris to Mr L…
*mmmmh* Why should I play heads or tails? No way! Both! :)

smiling: about us - stumbling through Paris being head over heels in love

smelling: freshly baked baguettes and croissants *yummy*

needing: simply nothing - I am perfectly happy

loving: ♥ Guess who! ♥ Of course: Mr F!

enjoying: a wonderful romantic weekend in Paris

finding: exactly what we were searching for: “Baby´s 1st christams”-stuff and beautiful christmas tree decoration

teaching: myself to bite a bullet and speak French… I know, I can ;)
…and I did.

watching: The Eiffel-Tower light-show…

wishing: to return soon… to Paris. We´re back home, arrived save and sound… with a few minor cut-backs (”Cheerio Miss Cooper-Window!”) and we count ourselves lucky to smooch Mr L again :)))

jouit le dimanche,
