MERRY CHRISTMAS
from Regensburg, Germany (or Bad Abbach to be more exact)!
FROHE WEIHNACHTEN!
JOYEUX NOEL!
I cannot express how content I am to spend yet another Christmas in Bavaria with the Heiss family. I'm prepared to buy a dirndl and stay here forever.
And, Merry Christmas to all you readers out there...whoever you are...here are some lovely, festive pictures:
