Christmas in Germany

Because of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale associations, I think of Germany as the embodiment of Christmas. It seems to go with the gingerbread house of Hansel and Gretel. (Photo from flickr - I need to find the credit.)

A Christmas Carol

Okay, I've pretty much forgotten the story, but this is an adorable Victorian illustration for it.

'Tis the season...

For pretty Christmas pictures.

Happy New Year
