    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

    Great pics, Sleepy!

    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.

    heehee, yep the gingerbread is very rich indeed. The original Elisen Lebkuchen may contain only ten percent flour, not more. They are made from ground nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts..), honey, candied orange and lemon peels, spices... There's other types that are allowed to be made with more than 10% flour. If you buy them from a high quality baker or gingerbread manufacturer they taste great, too, but the mass ones at the supermarket aren't that good.
    The other stuff you can see in the pics (where the sign says "Früchtebrot") is fruitcake. It's got figs, dates, apricots, hazelnuts...

    lookie here, what barbara posted: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=31364
    it's a 'traditional' German New Years sketch, only we don't have a sense of humour, so we had to import some Brits to do it for us

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    LOL Sleepy, you look so funny on that pic!! You look a little anxious, you look like a little bunny standing in the middle of the road and seeing that a car is coming right towards its direction.

    Ba-Wü it is, but originally, I'm from the North (Westphalia), which is much nicer anyway than Bavaria where everyone utters uncomprehensible gibberish .
