We are in Germany spending Christmas with friends. It is cold but there is no snow…maybe tomorrow.
My white Christmas tree is sitting on our tiny balcony in Ponte a Serraglio.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy new year. Thank you for following my blog and a special thank you to those who take the time to leave a comment.
I hope there will be lots more travel to share next year.
Xmas tree is gorgeous- looking very special overlooking the river. Have a wonderful ⛄️ Xmas cheers

The tree is having its second Christmas on the balcony. I don’t think it will make a third, the white stuff keeps falling off. Have a great Christmas!

I hope you get a white Christmas. Snow is magical. I think back to when 5th Avenue was closed to traffic because of the mass of snow and we walked and slid down the centre of the road.
