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!

My Christmas tree was still standing on the balcony and it looked wonderful with snow on it!

Here in Germany, the 26th is the second Christmas holiday, so here’s another christmas-themed photo – it’s actually an adapted cropped closeup from the last tree photo, but I wanted to have something festive for today too. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas weekend!

Happy Holidays, everyone! I shot this photo only a couple of days ago and I think it’s one of the best yet of this year’s Christmas tree. It’s not as warm as last year and not even raining, but we’re still far away from a white Christmas at 8°C! I hope everyone has a nice holiday – here in Germany, presents are actually given on the evening of the 24th, so Christmas actually begins today for us and December 25 and 26 are both holidays. The usual round of photos will follow later this evening!

Yes, I accidentially skipped the third Advent Sunday, but now it’s already the 4th and that means it’s Christmas in less than a week! So here’s this year’s Bokeh Christmas tree :-).

I almost forgot to post the weekly Christmas tree today – this is an improved photo I took yesterday with a tripod and to my surprise I actually got a little bit of starbursts from the lights!

I was absolutely determined to get a Christmas tree this year, especially after all what happened this year – and I got one in time for the first of Advent. I got it on Friday, put it up on Saturday and finished decorating it this afternoon, even without freezing because it was surprisingly warm for a change.

It is still sort of Christmas here in Germany, because the 25th and 26th are both holidays here. This is just a bit of fun with the seasonal decoration, I took this in case I ran out of photos :-).

Here’s our other Christmas Tree, a little potted one on the downstairs balcony!
