It´s Christmas (Soon)

  

                         

 

For "one" night? Every day!

This is one of Freddie Mercury´s interpretations of Christmas.
One night?

He was so smart and the song is so up to date.

Yet sweet, turn on the sound, please.

Here we had the rest of more than one day, but not a year. 

 

The 24th...

 

 

My parents got out their "golden" glasses to share sparkling wine with their fellow co-workers (now you say "staff" and for some it´s but "stuff").
I have to ask my Brother if he still has the glasses and if he shares the tradition.

Back then it was "Mr. and Mrs, K", of course, these days it´s H, but still the official "Sie".

I am simply Iris and used to walk in, shouting "it´s  OK (schon gut)", so no one had to get away from their work (bell ringing when entereing).
They did anyways, to give me a hug, all of them, and a kiss on the cheek, they still were like family.
That was pre-Corinna, of course - and it will be the same again soon!!!

 

WE will "be OK"! (I was a "good girl", ALWAYS, I swear! 😁)
Every day! Freddie was right.

25th. Goose. Hmmmm. 

Here you see my Dad,I think it was Christmas?

(For Christmas my parents warmed up the house, hence the short/thin clothes)

 

 

It took Mum like forever and ever and it was so yummy, once a year!

My Brother "later" tried it once and said, "woah, too much trouble!" (plus... well... Mum did a better job!).

26th.. YUMMIEST leftovers (with a Dad like that, leftovers, how???).

 

 

But once I moved out it was the first two days only - and it was not that I wanted to come by, either, I had to.

Now I regret this. That I didn´t go on my own and every day.

Too late.

 

 

And Ella just reminded me of Wichteln.

We had "Schrott-Wichteln" - get rid of stuff you don´t need anymore, but liked and was useful.

Our teamleader back then came up with this... once (for a reason only once!).

 

My dear colleague S was refilling the car - a huge Volvo - whilst I wrapped up our "junk" in  newspaper on the way to the party. He wanted to go inside to pay, was nearly there, but saw...

You know, the wrapping makes some noise, plus he´d left the radio on, as usual for me.

I did not hear him scream and shout.

The junk, me and the Volvo were heading softly to a wall cause he forgot to activate the handbreak.

Rolling, rolling, rolling...! Gets another meaning!

He ran and hit the car, which I heard, I managed to stop juuuuust in time.

Boy, we could´ve "announced" some junk!

The car was really an expensive one, too.

And he made sure I have it anytime he was not with me.

Sadly we lost contact.

He´s a Dad now, and hopefully happy, if I had an address I would send... I don´t have, but to you: A Happy Christmas Time, even in Lockdown.

Henry 🦁...

He´s a bit in the mood despite he´s lonely this year... BUT... see the light? Someone must be home in "his" castle. Is it Henry 🤴?

Hope you are getting/are into the mood, also.
