| Lighting of the Christmas tree in Frankfurt's old town center |
 |
| Our little missionary group braved the cold to welcome in Christmas season in Germany. |
 |
| The tree lighting was preceded by a children's choir on stage in the town square. |
 |
| A brass ensemble played from the roof top of the cathedral to serenade the Christmas throng |
 |
| This All-Things-Meat kiosk was very artistic but otherwise very unChristmassy. |
 |
| The area missionaries enjoyed a perfectly American Thanksgiving dinner in the cultural hall on Thursday. Someone even smuggled pumpkin pie across the border! |
 |
| Sign-up sheets for Elaine's 12 Days of Christmas service project. |
 |
| Senior missionaries, ex-patriot employees and young missionaries. Seems like our group changes every other week with all the comings and goings. |
 |
| We saved the least talent for last. "If You Chance to Meet a Frown" sung with stockings over the head and with tugging on either top or bottom at the appropriate moment to produce the correct facial expression. Try it! |
 |
| We came home from Thanksgiving dinner, got out the humble Christmas box, turned on Christmas music and decorated our cozy Porthstrasse apartment. See amazing animation below. |
Wahoo for Christmas! I am really wishing I had a video of your stocking-on-the-face talent. I think I'd be laughing AND crying during that one. ha!
ReplyDeleteSo the tighter the nylons the funnier it will be right? My kids would LOVE that one! I love the 12 days of Christmas idea, especially since we've never done it for anyone and it would be fun service for the kids to do. Email me if you have ideas of what to do for it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. The hanging hearts decoration looks so cute! And that picture of your faces in the stockings is CRAZY BIZARRO! Wish I could've seen it performed live.
