the Nürnberg Christmas market was sprawling and filled to the brim with lebkuchen... toni's mom decorated the tree with bright red apples, golden walnuts, gingerbread cookies, and real candles... i absolutely fell in love and want to decorate all future trees in the same way... toni and his sisters played carols at night... le sigh... it was all so utterly calm and bright, just as it should be.
and now 2012! i can hardly tell you how excited i am for this year, and all the rest after. life is all more beautiful and bursting with bliss than i could have ever imagined. huzzah over and over again.
