No, they were both very strong Lutherans until the day they died. But they lived in Canada for so long before my mom was even born I'm guessing they must have picked up the tradition there. Who knows, with my mom growing up with it, she may not have even realized it wasn't a German tradition. Ya learn somthin new everyday! :)
 
I want M&Ms with my initials on them. Or even better. My whole name on them.

You're right about the German language having a great heritage of Christmas carols and music.

Stille Nacht..

Wunder der Weinnachtzeit...

Es ist ein' Ros' entsprungen...

etc etc

A lot seem to have been arranged by Michael Praetorius.
 
it will be good that there be more overall salvation unto abundant and everlasting life in the true God and Jesus

Blessings

So have your bought your mom a Christmas gift? I find it hard to think of what to buy for my mother. We kind of procrastinate and procrastinate and then at the last moment send her something in desperation. I feel a bit guitly, really.

Blessings.
 
Why not get your mother a parfume?

I found the right gift for my Mom- a gift card- LOL
Well, she asked for it!!!

Ty for the suggestions! My mother isn't into perfume. And we do give her gift cards regularly; which she then doesn't get around to spending for a long time, sometimes. We are trying to think of something else, as well. Maybe flowers by mail order delivery.

(My mother wouldn't appreciate a tattoo voucher, though. Maybe yours wouldn't either.)

It can be suprising hard to buy things for parents. On the one hand their tastes are likely to be well known. On the other, those tastes can not unusually be defined in negative terms: what they definitely don't like!

Blessings.
 
I think my mom got me something breakable lol. Btw, we got a real tree as a Christmas tree, and our presents are under it. Like old times lol. Once my present, which was standing upright, fell to the side, and my mother said, "Aiyo! After break lor." (Malaysian english rofl)

Women often don't mind breakable gifts. My wife has many Royal Doulton china figurines...

I think i might trick my grandad this year. I always get him the same box of his favourite chocolates every year for like 30 years and he knows exactly what it is because every year its the same shape present and as soon as he gets it he shakes it to hear the chocolates inside.

Maybe some painted stones or marbles inside a home made box.

He might think you'd lost your marbles...
 
I know my mom will love what I got her. She's a huge Peanuts fan. So with the help of eBay there's a whole world of possibilities.

Well, I already know you're a careful listener, by the amount of discerning muscial appreciation that you seem to have for hard rock and other genres; you're evidently a careful reader, too... :)

Blessings; and have a great time as you prepare for Christmas.
