Holiday time in Hannover

It doesn't feel much like Christmas around Hannover. It's a damp 43 degrees without even a plastic reindeer or nativity scene in sight. There are a couple of places, however, where holiday spirit has taken hold. Here are a few photos:


Hannover Christmas Market.

This snowman on stilts was a little sassy.
I wonder if anyone tried to trip him.

Holiday baking with exactly 16 inches of counter space. I am not a tidy cook.


Yes, those cookies are lying on top of my washing machine

About Me

My photo
Thanks for coming to my blog. It started as a way to keep in touch with family and friends, and now has become an ongoing project. I'm an American living in Germany and trying to travel whenever I can. I write about my experiences as an expatriate (the interesting ones and the embarrassing ones), and about my travels. There are some recurring characters in this blog, particularly my husband Brian and several of our friends. The title comes from the idea that living in a foreign country means making a lot of mistakes. So the things you used to do easily you now have to try over and over again. Hopefully, like me, you can laugh at how idiotic it feels. If you have happened upon my blog, then welcome. Knowing that people are reading what I write makes me keep going. Feel free to write comments or suggestions for future posts.
