As far as white Christmases go, we haven’t done too badly during the festive seasons we have spent away from home. \u00a0 Two of them have been snow filled – one of them overly so – we were grateful for the snow-blowing machine that came with the house that year I can tell you…<\/p>\n

As it’s Christmas Eve, I thought you might enjoy a couple of pictures of the day we spent “adopting” our Christmas tree in a Danish winter wonderland a couple of years ago…<\/p>\n

From one beautiful Christmas tree forest to another – this year’s Bavarian style affair. \u00a0 \u00a0Which, although the day was by no means white, still managed to feel incredibly Christmassy. \u00a0 \u00a0 We parked Grandad at the bottom of the hill (next to the open fires and the gluhwein stall) whilst we marched upwards through the forest to the selected Tannenbaum chopping area.<\/p>\n

And with the stunning backdrop of the Bavarian Alps showing off at sunset, we selected our tree, apologised to it for cutting it down (one day when we move somewhere with a long-term garden, we will go back to the potted version, promise!) and tried to ignore the mud (and the small Boy now covered from head to toe in the stuff) as we trundled back down the hill again with our prize….<\/p>\n
