Christmas Long Ago
A Xmas Poem by Jo Geis
Frosty days and ice-still nights,
Fir trees trimmed with tiny lights,
Sound of sleigh bells in the snow,
That was Christmas long ago.
Tykes on sleds and shouts of glee,
Icy-window filigree,
Sugarplums and candle glow,
Part of Christmas long ago.
Footsteps stealthy on the stair,
Sweet-voiced carols in the air,
Stocking hanging in a row,
Tell of Christmas long ago.
Starry nights so still and blue,
Good friends calling out to you,
Life, so fact, will always slow...
For dreams of Christmas long ago.

The Frankfurt Christmas Market in Germany is an annual outdoor Christmas market in Römerberg Platz. The market, with its beautiful historic buildings as a backdrop, is one of the oldest such "Christkindchesmarkets" in Germany dating back to the 1300s. I was fortunate to be there this year on December 6 -- Saint Nikolaus Day. It's an important day for children in Germany . . . as that is the day for gifts and celebrating.
So who is Saint Nikolaus? He was a bishop who lived in the 4th Century and became famous for his good deeds. Nikolaus is not to be confused with Santa Claus, who Germans call the Weihnachtsmann, or Father Christmas. They are two different people. In fact, many religious families try to focus more on Nikolaus earlier in December to ensure that Christmas is actually about Jesus’ birth, and not presents from an Americanized and commercialized Santa.

Hanging lights just like I said, and it had to be the coldest night of the year. Ugh! These little plastic hooks work great and I just love love love bokeh! But when shooting Christmas lights, *that* comes with the territory.

Our Christmas Tree. There are decorations that go on the tree year after year & some new ones each year.
I never fully appreciate the tree until I spend some time up close and take in the little hidden places between the branches.

from top : dark choc mint ganache, candied ginger, rouges fruits macarons. my favorite is the dark choc mint, and i used valrhona 55% equatorial for the ganache, which is the best in my opinion coz its not too dark, and the sweetness is just right. the candied ginger one is alright, but could do with more ginger in the shell & cream. as for the rouges fruits, i added puree of 6 types of frozen red berries, tastes alright too.
