Get it right!

Some family from the bible belt sent me a birth announcement. I replied by thanking them, but I do not know who they were.

Now I received a party invite from them:

Fred & Judy Krahn
Krahn Home
34900 Panorama Drive, Abbotsford
Friday, December 30, 7:00pm

I had no choice but to RSVP:

Sure, I come! Not that I know you - but what the heck...! I bring all my 10 children as well.

.de

I am the proud owner of yet another domain name: ChristmasMagazine.de. The domain was taken for a while. But I guess whoever owned it, did not know what to use it for.

I don't understand you...!

Maple is trying to tell me something. She is grabbing my attention. But I don't know what she wants. If it's food, then it's too early. If she has to go outside, I can not help her either. I am waiting for the tile installer. He was supposed to be here an hour ago.

Newsletter

The Advent calendar is done since September, but the newsletter content still gives me a headache. The past two days I spend developing the stocking with instructions and everything. Time is getting tight, as Maple dog comes on Thursday and the last weekend of November we will spend in Seattle.

Shopping

shoes

After work I had to go to Richmond to the Chinese grocery store and buy a load of Sugus for my Flickr friends who live in New York. They both are ex pats from Switzerland. Since I was already at the mall I also shopped for a pair of winter shoes. All in all, I found three pairs of shoes. It made me fell like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City.

And more... - Feedback from the Christmas Magazine

Es wäre schön, wenn der Adventskalender deutsch bliebe und nicht einen Santa Klaus der in den Kamin krabbelt als erstes Bild hätte. Knecht Rupprecht und andere beliebte Weihnachtsgeschichten und Gedichte wären auch schön. Aber nicht die Herde Rentiere und Santa Klaus, damit sind wir hier so wie so umgeben, was echt deutsches wäre schön, so fern der Heimat.
Vielen Dank,
G. B.

After explaining the coyright laws in simple terms, and giving her the links to what probably is the biggest German collection of Christmas and winter poems, I concluded the email as follows: Um nochmals auf das Bild von Santa zurück zu kommen: ich lebe in Kanada und bin aus der Schweiz. In der Schweiz bringt das Christkind die Geschenke und hier in Kanada ist es Santa mit seinen Rentieren.
