Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

(Entry cross-posted from our ONE WORLD group blog.)

This post is dedicated with love and gratitude to Jessie, CCI,  Kirsten, Donna, Jules and Linda and SCBWI friends (thank you for my first Christmas in Deutschland!) 

and to

GLORIOUS YOU.

 Season's greetings from Germany!

 Cakes at the German Christmas Markets

Nutcrackers and "smoking men"...

 The Medieval Christmas Market of Munich had delicious food.

My adoptive family originally immigrated from Germany ("Steuck" is a German name)
and the United Kingdom, so I feel very at home in Germany (in terms of the food and snacks -- my dad would love them!).

 Gingerbread cookies...

 My gingerbread Santa :)

Back in France I loved these holiday owls :)

 Wishing you good health and cheer...

 Happy New Year!

Much love from France

and best wishes for the New Year!
