Xmas in Wilhelmshaven

We went to the Dietrichs' place for Christmas. We apologize for the bad quality of these pictures. I don't know why they look like they do. Well, partly because no one wanted their picture taken so no one smiled.

Georg plays the flute Christmas Eve while everyone sings carols.

Some wild shots of the Christmas tree with its candles.

The tree was too tall for the room, so it was kind of a pain to get it into the house.

That is a Dampfnudel, a steamed dough dumpling the size of a softball, filled with plum sauce and topped with poppy-vanilla cream. Heavy is the word.

Our new wool blanket.
