Thinking about Germany

I am watching a PBS special on the German Christkindlmarkts right now, and it is making me miss Germany so much! i will never forget the smell of the fabulous Langoens Christmas Market! Champignon mit speck, and it was HEAVENLY. And all the gluhwein, which was so nasty, but the more you drank, the better it got. I remember being soooo cold, wearing thermals under my clothes, and still freezing. Our first Christmas was one of the best. We went with all of our friends to the market, and just got sloppy. Afterwards, we went back to the XO's house, and at about 2am, his wife cooked us up the BEST breakfast burritos ever. Donya is such a good Texan!
We hit several Markets during our three-years in Deutschland. Nurnburg, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, etc., but i think that small one in Langoens was the best. And their Oktoberfest was the best, too!!!

I mailed out a crappy package to you today. It's really sucky sorry. I was going to send you the really cute doggy flannel pants - but you would swim in them and think I thought you were a cow. When the truth is it's the first time I've used that pattern and all the pairs I made from them are huge. If you want them anyway - let me know. g
