Christmas Market in Sankt Wendel

There are Christmas Markets EVERYWHERE and some are open every day up to Christmas Eve.  Sankt Wendel is a cute little town just up the road from us.  We loved this market!  Half the fun still is getting to walk through the beautiful streets.  No driving this time! : )



 We declared a Gluten Free Holiday! (which means the opposite of how it sounds, it just flows better than "Gluten Free Free Holiday" -ha!)
                                                               "Chimney Cakes"


We had one of these.  None of the fried Twinkie hype here!  I like my junk food made from scratch, it makes me feel like they really get me.  It's all natural. yeah.


                                                    Waffles are the thing...
                                                          okay. so we had some!


                   European Santa Clause?!  or...  the Pope, maybe?!


                                                                   A live Nativity

Listened to the story of Jesus's birth, in German.  (but not from the camel) 

notice the animal skins around their necks

A Cool Church




And last, I leave you with one of my favorite scenes out my window - 
the barn
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

  1. Becky, I just saw your postings from Christmas time. They're great, & I so appreciate your reason for posting! I'm the type who likes to do things because someone told me I wouldn't! It's wonderful to see pictures of your branch of the Swedlund clan! The kids have grown so much since we saw them. You all look terrific! I wonder if I could hide in Bryan & Diana's luggage this May? Probably not! I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday! How great is it to have someone in the family who speaks the native tongue?! We love ya'll! Nelda
