"At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year." ~ Thomas Tusser

It's the day after Thanksgiving...

and you know what that means.

The Dome,  Edinburgh

or at least in our house that was always the rule.

So... where better to find inspiration than one of the many Christmas markets that begin this weekend all over Germany.
Yes...
Ren Man can hardly contain his excitement of shopping 'Black Friday' in a frenzy of women wielding nutcrackers and candle pyramids.

 As we scour the nooks and crannies of Heidelberg, I am sure we can find a nice book store for him to burrow in...
 but we will most definitely kick off the Christmas season with warm mugs of Gluhwein.

Have a wonderful weekend.
