wiseheartMum and me decided to do a traditional Christmas tree this year - the kind with blown glass ornaments and stuff, as it was in her childhood - and mine, too.
This is the result:
To compare with how I usually decorate my Christmas tree, see an example from last year:
Personally, I prefer the style from last year - it's more natural, more balanced and, IMO, more pretty. But Mum was feeling nostalgic, and I wanted to do her the favour.
And finally, a selection from this year's cookie production:

Christmas Dinner
Date: 2009-12-26 05:50 am (UTC)Roast Turkey or pork roast or both
Turkey or pork gravy depending on above
Cornbread dressing
Dirty Rice
Plain rice for the kids
Green bean casserole or some other type green vegetable dish
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Spiced Peach salad
Assorted cakes and pies for dessert. If at my house I usually make Creme de menthe ice cream with green coloured cherries and family brings the cakes, etc.
Post the recipe? I don't bake cookies and such but can post the recipes for the other dishes. Is that what you mean? None are fancy, just dishes that can be refrigerated and kept cool or re-heated until ready to serve.

Date: 2009-12-25 11:15 am (UTC)Ich hatte Glück mit dem Baum selber - er hat so eine schöne, ebenmäßige Form, wir haben ihn innerhalb zwei Stunden geschmückt gekriegt.
Was war das Festessen bei euch?

Date: 2009-12-25 11:33 am (UTC)Plätzchen hatten wir leider keine, die von der großen Backaktion waren alle aufgefuttert, die Anisplätzchen, die ich letzte Woche gebacken hatte, haben wir beide nicht vertragen (zu viel Mandel drin für uns Nußallergiker) und ich hatte die letzten Tage einfach keine Lust zum Backen, Mama keine Zeit. Dafür will ich aber heute backen. Uups, seh jetzt, da muß ich mich dran halten... 14:45 fangen die Märchen-Neuverfilmungen auf ARD an, die haben wir uns letztes Weihnachten auch angeschaut.
Was gab es denn bei Euch Leckeres?

Date: 2009-12-25 11:53 am (UTC)Ich habe gleich eine Doppelportion hergestellt, so daß wir heute nur noch die Reste aufwärmen müssen. Tut mir leid daß ihr den Vanillekipferln zum Ofper gefallen seid. Wir mögen die auch, besonders Mutti - die könnte sie rund um die Uhr essen. Aber sie hält sich zurück, damit sie länger reichen.
Märchenverfilmungen? Die muß ich mir auch mal anschauen!

Date: 2009-12-26 11:29 am (UTC)Ich hab gestern nach meinem Kommentar noch Vanillekipferl ohne Mandeln gebacken. Allerdings hab ich nur ein Backblech fertig bekommen vor den Märchen, den Rest des Teigs hab ich noch im Kühlschrank. Ich glaub, ich werd trotzdem noch Zimtsterne probieren. Dann muß ich halt Fenistil gegen den Juckreiz nehmen *lach* aber ich liebe Zimtsterne einfach so sehr!
Heute um 14.45 kommen wieder drei Märchen und dann noch mal welche am... 2.1., glaub ich.

Date: 2009-12-26 08:41 am (UTC)The beaded garlands are all hand-made, actually. The beads are rolled soft paper (like a piece of paper napkin) covered with tin foil chocolate wrappings and the likes. I made them all while watching TV, years ago. :)

Date: 2009-12-30 09:12 pm (UTC)The cookie plate looks delicious, especially here where it's just past 4pm and thus time for tea and biscuits. [stops self from licking the laptop screen] The crescent cookies look familiar: are they a dense, rich dough with powdered sugar on the outside, all of which crumbles when one bites into them?
