It´s the time of the year again.
Go into the city, buy a gingerbread-heart and help the Transportation-club. The money goes to projects for kids, teens and seniors.
Reckon this year will be a bit difficult and since I don´t eat sweets anyways, I still have mine:
Must´ve bought it 2017. I remember I bought three, two to give away to family and they likely were munched down 😁
This is for "Tom´s Signs 2".
And our Henry 🦁... he stands proud in the cold:
He is sad. No Christmas Markets this year.
Darn you, "Corinna".
Here in the Netherlands is everything also cancelled in the city. This year it will be different everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel for those who make their "big money" in these days...
ReplyDeleteBtw, my Squirrel was just here getting the walnuts 🐿
Beautiful initiative ... and that "heart" is very tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love Henry ... in "November rain"! LOL
A little BIG hug 🤗
Wishing you all the best! xoxo
I remember gingerbread hearts, but don't know where or when, I haven't seen them in years.
ReplyDeleteI remember those gingerbread hearts from Braunschweig :)
ReplyDeleteElla, reckon when you like sweets it´s yummy indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a yummy day, little BIG hugs xoxo

River, now would be the time, maybe check ALDI - they should have X-mas sweets.

Sami :-) If we come that time of year again, I can bring some (or Karina certainly can).
What A Powerful Henry In Nov Shot
ReplyDeleteCheers
...every city should show it's heart and I'm glad to see that Braunschweig does. I hope that Henry and you stay warm. Thanks for coming to the party.
ReplyDeleteYou could always decorate for Christmas with them. I think that is traditional, at least here in my part of the world. I think it sounds like a worthwhile cause.
ReplyDeleteSince we have to be home for the winter I was looking forward to our Christmas markets as well. But we were put into lockdown for 28 days on Monday, so they have all been cancelled.
ReplyDeleteThere are some drive thru lights displays but that is not the same.
Padre, yes, this is (nearly) the real Henry (due to pollution the original is inside the castle).
ReplyDelete____
Tom, yes to first and, well, I ran myself warm :-)
Thanks for throwing the party, too!

Erika, yes, it is for a good cause! And always (not just for Christmas) decorates the swing (hence the hanger gave in and I took the pic on the stove..).
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteWe had some little Lebkuchen hearts covered with chocolate recently but ate them up right away, not sharing your dislike of sweets!
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Jackie, it´s really a sad, weird year!

Jim, yips.

Mae, you made me laugh :-)
The heart cookies are such a good idea. And I love that last photo of Henry. The lighting is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThose hearts are wonderful. That's one of the drawbacks of this virus, other than no Christmas markets where you live. That is the charities suffer terribly, especially since so many people are out of work and have no food. Since we didn't get a stimulus check, many people are out of work and are in fear of losing their homes and apartments the first of the month. If they can't pay for groceries, they definitely can't give to a charity.
ReplyDeleteI think Germany is famous for its Christmas markets. Too bad they have been closed due to the pandemic. I think the cookie sale is for a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteWaaaa I would love a bite of that heart shaped cookie! Okay I'm lying, I would never want to bite on that to be honest because it's just too beautiful to devour! I remember when I was in high school, I saved up some money and got my Mom a small, cheap heart shape cake but it was super cute! Shen she was already cutting it I felt really sad inside and kept telling myself 'It's okay, it's not mine, it's Mom's" because its just so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteVisited your Timeless Thursday Entry from last week's series (OMG I am so lateeee) and I really enjoyed the shapes that Ingo made with the carrots! Dropped a comment there too :)
Big big hugs to my dearest Iris!
Gingerbread hearts---very yummy
ReplyDeleteMB
It is going to be a strange Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHenry looks regal.
ReplyDeleteJeanie, yes, to both! :-)
ReplyDelete____
Elizabeth, yes, sadly they suffer along, too, hope they recover...
____
gigi, yes, they also teared down Christmas trees, it will be a dull one this time...
____
Dearest Stevenson, that is such a cute story with your Mom´s heart-cake!
We have gingerbread-men-gummibears and I will save some, too ;-) Big hugs from here, Brother!

MB, in theory, this one might taste odd by now ;-)

RedPat, a dark one in many a way, sadly...

William, he has to, he´s the King!
Ginger bread haven't made for ages with lemon sauce.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe and Coffee is on
It is sad that so many Christmas Activities have been cancelled.
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
All the best Jan
