Here we are  – the week before the last week of the year. That was a quite weird and eventful then a down hill week- LOL – While the beginning was really busy and fun and Christmas was much awaited, Christmas was spent in bed- even today – with flu and fever. But we are getting there :)

Los geht’s – die vorletzte Woche des Jahres. War ein wenig komisch, aufregend und ging dann voll bergab – LOL. Während der Beginn der Woche noch sehr beschäftigt und witzig war und ich mich auf Weihnachten sehr freute, verbrachte ich Weihnachten selbst mit Grippe und Fieber- selbst heute- im Bett – aber es wird besser :)

Nice organ concert in St Michaelis – our main church here in Hamburg and also the most beautiful one here. The organs were just refurbished and it was amazing to hear all three of them at the same time

Such a snowstorm – my view from my office desk to the St. Pauli Stadium.

So today my husband and I celebrate the American part of Christmas – while yesterday we had the German version. And what better way to get into the mood then to watch this little gem from  Christmas on Sesame Street in the 70s!
