Anyone else watching Carols By Candlelight? It used to be a family tradition but it’s getting steadily worse and worse every year.

Don’t jinx us!!

Looks awesome! I did these as presents a couple of years ago. I just used butter biscuits though, but deviated with coloured icing ball things and some silver stars. They’re pretty easy but look awesome.

Last two Christmas markets are both in Cologne. Cologne has a bunch of markets and we visited 4 of them. Our last day today was very wet and windy, so in the end it was a bit of a down day because we were a bit melancholy about our holiday finishing and having to head back to reality. It’s been an amazing trip and we’ve had such an incredible time.

Best markets: Würzburg (our first proper Christmas market and it snowed, plus Ravenna Gorge and the medieval-themed market in Munich because it was just so much fun (there was an Irish folk band playing and the vibes were super fun).

I was reading the other about how Christmas lights are actually pretty bad for birds/insects etc because it messes with the light that they use for hunting/sleeping etc.

Cologne Cathedral Christmas market.

Every time I open this sub I’m logged out of it again. Any ideas why that might happen? It’s only been a problem for the last couple of days.

I wasn’t going to recap, but maybe I will now!

It’s a very stressful time. You can only do as much as you can do, though. Don’t give yourself a nervous breakdown trying to be everything for everyone and leaving nothing for yourself. ❤️

Last night we went to Ravenna Gorge Christmas market, not too far from Freiburg. It. Was. AWESOME. It’s under a train viaduct thing that gets lit up in various colours. It was so atmospheric and fun, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you’re in Germany at Christmas market time.

Try doing a hard reset and updating everything that needs updating. Otherwise yeah, you’ll probably need to take it in 😞

Lindau today, unfortunately the markets were closed so here’s a picture of the Christmas tree in from of the old town hall.

Wow, I’m in awe of how far you plan ahead! We’re certainly having a blast, although the little town we’re in today is veeeery quiet as lots of things are closed on Mondays and it’s pissing down with rain!

Good luck! Keep us updated!

December and Jan are great times for us to take leave from our jobs, and we love coming to Europe. When we googled things to do in Europe at this time, Christmas markets popped up, so we’ve been going to a bunch but also doing other things. In Munich we went to two art galleries and a classical music concert, and we’re about to go to a town on a lake so we’ll do some walks around there.

Do you if anyone’s heard from Stompsie or Lister? I miss those two over here.

Nooooooo bummer! Some people panic so easily. Can she use something else until you can afford a new one? Could be a good way to show her the consequences of actions like that without it affecting her too badly?

Really glad your mum made it. Definitely great advice to be aware of your body and note any unusual changes to discuss with your doctor.
