Doing the family holidays ...

So today we're off to Heiko and Steffi's where niece Lea and nephew Malte will be reveling in the attention of far too many relatives for a 4-year-old girl and 4-month old baby to cope with. Detlef & I will be joined by his mother + friend, his father + wife, Steffi's mother & father & sister & her friend & grandparents.

And we'll have the camera along.

US relatives have already been sent a quick video Xmas greeting (see 12 days below) and will be getting phone calls tomorrow, mother and sister that is.

And this is the only really blog sort of blog entry for this year: something personal, almost chatty, downright familial.

But then, I am after all in love with Detlef -- and that makes us a family.

We're even registered, making us officially and legally "related" to each other's relatives.

All we need is something good to eat -- and maybe some flaming candles...

Which brings me back again to what I like to write about here most:

More Light!
