New Weird
Regenbogen:
Hi!
The new sofa is great. It is a bit bigger than the old one and there is enough space for all of us.
I've already tested watching TV from all positions, lol.
There were all kinds of clothes on the old sofa. Occasionally one would find a sock or something else in it's crevices. So, just look for something when you sit on it. Maybe there are still some sweets left.
My husband's toe is getting better. He can walk better now though it still hurts. This will take some time.
@BugBear:
I understand not wanting to go to the doctor. I too don't want to go. On Friday I accompanied my husband to see how they do the bandages, so I can do it properly, during the holidays. But there is no need anymore. They said to let it get some air to heal now. Just some protective gauze and that's it.
This year, we have a very small tree. I hope, it is too small and boring for the cats to climb on it.
So far, only Lisa has seen it and tried to catch some of the decorations. Appearantly this made her tired, because she has been asleep ever since.
It is Christmas evening. This is when the Christkind brings the presents here. I think I wrote something about it last year: this is where the name Chris Kringle is supposed to be derived from. The Christkind comes more in the southern parts of Germany and in Austria. Probably Switzerland too, though I am not sure.
The other parts of Germany have the Weihnachtsmann (similar to Santa Clause), who resembles Saint Nikolaus of Myra.
We are doing fondue again like every year. This is not an official tradition. Most people I know will eat sausages with potato salad. But in my family, we decided to have something special for Christmas, so fondue it was.
Dina:
Hi everyone!
Regen, it is good to hear that your husband is better, I hope he stops hurting soon.
I am glad your new sofa is so good. I imagine you did a lot of experimentation with sitting in it. For science, of course.
And yes, the other day I was alone here and I sat in your old coach and pet it, so to welcome it here. He produced a very small sock, so I think he liked me. I was wondering if I would find a couple of euro cents, but not such luck so far :)
That was a good idea about having a little tree. I think mine looks good. I made it in steps this year? How, do you ask? Well, I know I told you already that the tradition is decorating the tree on December 8th (Virgin Mary's without sin conception Day) but this year it was a Sunday, and I had other things to do, including zoom with friends, and I was also very tired. So I installed the tree in its place, I put it about 5 or 6 ornament, a piece of tinsel and the small pesebre (the representation of the moment where baby Jesus arrived and the shepherds went to worship him) stucture with only Mary and Joseph in it. Next day, Monday, it was too hot. I had intended to finished the decoration, but I did not feel like it, so I only added a few more ornaments. And only the next day (or the following day, I am not sure) I finished with the tree and a few other ornaments around the place :)
Children here are waiting for Papá Noel, who will arrive at midnight. I think I told you before that 50 years ago or so, Papá Noel was not a big thing here. In some of our provinces, the child Jesus arrived to bring presents but in my city in general, people just exchanged gifts and the children received the magical extra gifts on January 6th, courtesy of the the Wise Men. Now, they still arrive on January 6th but the main gifts come with Papá Noel I think.
Fondue is a wonderful idea and I would totally do it if I was in Winter. We will have a fresh and simple food, with some salads, pionono, sandwiches and of course ice cream :)
well, so, my dear friends here in the forum
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 💖🌟🎁🎄🎅🏽✨✨🥂🎉

@all: Happy Holidays!
The old red sofa gave me a pencil tonight. I am waiting for the next time. Probably I will receive some paper. I think it means for me to draw something to put into the sofa for the next one to find.
Today we will eat the rest of the fondue, go to the cemetary to say happy birthday to my dad and then to my mama to drink coffee and eat cake.
Dina:
Happy Christmas!
Cake and coffee is always an excellent idea!
Another excellent idea is the one about the sofa wanting you to draw something. It would be a nice surprised for the next person sitting in it. I sat there today and it gave me a tiny sparkling star, the kind you could find as a Christmas tree ornament. So I am taking it home, to grace my little tree.
