Christmas in New York

Yesterday we had the opportunity to compare the tree at the Rockefeller Center with our tree at home.

Guess which one won? Our tree, of course! 

Though in New York everything is bigger, including the Christmas deco... Look at the candy cane! And the stars in Time Warner building!

As usual, we had a wonderful day in New York, starting with a lunch at the Lincoln Center and finishing with the "Nutcracker"Ballet!

Watching the Christmas lights in New York belongs to our holiday season like baking cookies at home and enjoying Gluhwein with friends at the Christmas market at our lake.

Even Jakob decided to bake some cookies with me!

A white Thanksgiving...

A winter wonderland! Yeah... Maybe two days later...

The snow storm started the day before Thanksgiving and by noontime we already lost power. 

Good thing we have a generator, otherwise there would be a small dinner table...

Additional, many trees went down and blocked the entrance to our trail. The heavy snow also took our phone wire down.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with our friends anyway!

Even the power came back, just on time for our turkey!

I am dreaming of a GREEN Christmas...
