29.12.10 - Grapefruit
Yeah, so I am over 40. And, New Year's is approaching. In the grocery store yesterday, I did the right thing and bought some grapefruit. It has been years since I had a grapefruit. I know that they are good for you and I am sure that they are listed somewhere in the "New Year's Resolution Handbook". But, they just have such a bad reputation... sour, bitter, yucky...
Turns out I love grapefruit. Man, I have been missing out all these years.

Focus on Joy
My New Year's Resolution... a little early!
I know it is a bad habit to focus on the little nitty-gritty things that grind us down like a cheese grater on our face... but, I am going to keep working to change my habit so that I am focused on joy.

19.12.2010 - Suicidal Snowman
Stop, Frosty! Don't go any closer! I know that your short life seems to lack meaning but you bring joy to so many. Don't do it, Frosty... please!

17.12.10 - Basket full of stars
Stars at the Nurnberg Christkindl Market. It's hard to believe they could pack so much sparkle into so little space...

12.12.10 - Bokeh Elephant
Well, another wekeend, another Christmas Market! Today, we went to the Nurnberg Christkindl Market. I see now why it is such a draw for tourists. The city is gorgeous and the Market had great food and beautiful things for sale. There were rows upon rows of every kind of decoration you could imagine... this one caught my eye at a booth selling Nativity Scene Animals. Ummm... perhaps the fact that an Elephant was present at the birth of Christ has been lost in translation?

Candle Bokeh
This weekend, we hit the Christkindle Market in Strassbourg, France. It's one of my favourite cities and it was dressed up beautifully for the market. One of the highlights was walking into the Cathedral and hearing a Christmas Concert from a children's choir. Wow... I am definitely in the Christmas Spirit now! This pic was taken inside the Cathedral.

02.12.10 - Carousel
'Tis the season to visit Christmas Markets in Germany. Tonight, we hit Frankfurt. Leif and I had a blast on the awesome, vintage, 2-storey Carousel. Three trips was all that I could handle! This is Leif enjoying the fastest horse on the whole ride.
