I don't think we saw a tree larger than 3 or 4 feet in town. We planned on bringing our tree on the tram, but when a local friend heard this she offered to drive us and bring it back to our apartment. She said she didn't want to read about the "American couple" in the newspaper! We put the tree on a box so it would appear larger and got use out of the new ornaments we bought in Germany. Hopefully you can see Old Kris, which is a favorite on both sides of the family. The tree turned out to be okay, but we basically bought it dead. This was no Frasier fur cut from the forest or Alps! When we walk by the tree, the air from us walking by makes the needles fall off. It's awethome! We heard the trees were not great this year for whatever reason. There were a ton with giant spaces between branches (you could only see the trunk). We have slowly been putting presents underneath and we are looking forward to Madeline, Mom and Dad's visit! It will be great to see familiar faces. Hope you all have a wonderful, safe and happy holiday.
love, Dena & Brian

This is the most wonderful tree..it reminds me of the tree I took off of a tree trimmer's truck when we lived in Israel, not the best place to find a Christmas tree! We can hardly wait to be with you both beneath old Kris.
Joyeux Noel!
Love, mom
Hey Dena and Brian,
Mr. Tisinger here at CVHS. Day before x-mas vacation. Showing the '59 War of the Worlds. Brian, I was talking to your Mom about her upcoming trip and she sent me to your blog. Wow! What a way to grow up. Looks like a great time. Have a nice x-mas with your mom and dad. Your mom is great.
