Fld 60Pc 2 Chr Vintage Fldv1 Gacr G C0A80 60PcSome time ago, I spent Christ­mas Eve in Lon­don, cook­ing a din­ner of grilled salmon on pasta, fol­lowed by a dessert of cher­ries and then a bot­tle of Scotch. It snowed that night, and quite heav­ily too. I woke up Christ­mas morn­ing to take out the trash and fell on my back­side on the iced-over pavement.

I wish I had a blog then. Then I’d remem­ber at a click on the archives exactly what I did, and para­phrase a cou­pla more para­graphs than just the measly one. Or I could sim­ply just put a link there. Like so:

    P.S. Mum’s put up a real Christ­mas tree again in the liv­ing room, so the place smells of pine (and the dead tree will be a bitch to dis­pose of later).


    O Tan­nen­baum

    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
    Wie treu sind deine Blätter.
    Du grünst nicht nur zur Som­merzeit,
    Nein, auch im Win­ter, wenn es schneit.
    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
    Wie treu sind deine Blätter.
    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
    du kannst mir sehr gefallen.
    Wie oft hat nicht zur Wei­h­nacht­szeit
    Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut.
    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
    du kannst mir sehr gefallen.

    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
    dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
    die Hoff­nung und Beständigkeit
    gibt Trost und Kraft zu aller Zeit.
    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
    dein Kleid will mich was lehren.

    O Tan­nen­baum, o Tan­nen­baum,
