Winter, December, Christmas in Berlin…time to decorate! I love Christmas time. I love quality family time. I love the smell of the freshly baked cookies. I love the Christmas tree and beautiful candles. I love the taste of hot chocolate and cinnamon. Such a priceless time of the year.
I like decorating and I don’t mind spending time doing that. This is my first Christmas in Germany and I am excited to make the best out of the experience. I have been in many places around the world during Christmas time but Germany and especially Berlin is the best in making Christmas cozy. Its Christmas markets, its Stollen, its Baumkuchen, its Glühwein and its really cold weather are the best combination to make one feel like Christmas.
Christmas is a wonderful celebration but let’s not forget that Christmas is not about the shiny decoration, the yummy food or the nice gifts. Let’s remember that the actual reason for the season is baby Jesus, who was born more than 2000 years ago in Bethlehem. Let’s remember that he brought love, salvation and joy to the world so that we can live making others feel loved and happy.
Let’s remember to do that not only in Christmas ;)
Have a blessed Christmas
