Since I forgot to post a tree photo on the 4th Advent, here’s a really good one I took the night before I left for Berlin. Happy Holidays, everyone!

My Christmas tree hasn’t much changed from last week, so here’s the Bokeh edition!

Today I finalled finished decorating the tree and this is the first HDR attempt capturing it!

Like last year, I managed to get my Christmas Tree up by December 1 – actually since Friday, but I hadn’t managed to take a decent photo yet and of course it’s not completely decorated yet.

We do not have a Christmas Tree up in Berlin yet and we almost didn’t have one at all,
but here’s the last photo I took of mine before I left Mülheim!

Last week on the Second Advent I completely forgot to post another
photo of my Christmas tree, which I finally finished decorating!

Why a substitute for the first Advent Sunday? Because I haven’t had a chance to decorate the tree any further, so I have to resort to an optical trick to make some Christmas balls! Courtesy of Carl Zeiss Jena.

It’s the first of December, not even the first Advent Sunday, and I’ve already got my Christmas Tree set up… almost, because while I managed to put on the lights, further decoration has to wait because it started to rain this afternoon! So stay tuned, there will be other photos as and when the weather allows.

I should have posted this yesterday, but I was too busy packing. This is the last shot of this year of my own Christmas tree back from December 8 when it was snowing, because I traveled all the way from Mülheim to Berlin today to spend the holidays with my family here. There will probably a whole different Christmas tree coming up next Sunday on Christmas eve!

I totally forgot to post this yesterday – I’ve had my Christmas tree actually up since Friday, but due to the lousy weather I haven’t had the chance to put anything else on it except the lights. But lots of them!
