Hello, my darlings,
I finally decorated my room! Unfortunetely, I didn't find the lights. But! I had the idea to decorate a Christmas tree branch with the ribbons and to buy one special Christmas bauble in Christkindlesmarkt.
And then I remembered that we have a very lovely Christmas bauble at my grandmother's home - a strawberry, that my mother had it since she was 5 years old! So I thought it's time to buy a new one - as a memory from Nuremberg and to make it as a special strawberries' tradition. I searched around all the fair, till I've finally found it!
And here are some photos of my little Christmas tree and my lovely strawberry:

Moreover, my lovely friend Justina send me a cute Christmas sock, which is hanging on my wall and gives more Christmas spirit to my room :).

I hope you're all ready for Christmas Eve tomorrow and have a cozy evening today!
xoxo,
Ak.

Christkindlesmarkt.

This weekend for the first time in my life I visited german Christkindlesmarkt! And it was absolutely stunning! Here are some photos, have a look!

Christmas spirit is all over Nürnberg - it's so amazing for me as long as we don't have any (yes, yes, german people, any!!!) Christmas fair in Lithuania!
And I found the entire stall for marzipan (you can see it in the last photo)!!! I love marzipan, so you can imagine, how happy I was!

We also tried different tastes of Küssen - you can see them in the photo of me and the girl from Slovakia :). It is made from wafer, cream and chocolate. We tried stracetella, egg liqueur and mint (which was called After Eight - just like the cholocate that I love! ) tastes and I should say that mint taste was the best (unfortunately, that wasn't mine).

But the most important thing - I've never seen so much Christmas things in one place! The decorations, the lights, the presents, the reindeer and Santa cookies, the Glühwein,..
My heart just melted! I love Christmas!

I can't help, but wonder - are you already waiting for Christmas??
As for me, one month is a bit too early to wait, but this weekend Christkindlesmarkt, a Christmas fair, starts here, in Nuremberg!
So I can't help it, I must get some Christmas spirit inside :)! We are going here tonight and, of course, I'll share some photos afterwards!
Have a cosy weekend, my lovelies!

P. S. This guy is definately waiting for Christmas.
I think it is a piece with universal appeal and I’ll be happy if it makes people smile at Christmas time.
What a nice idea to share joy of Christmas!
