"To journey without being changed is to be a nomad.

To change without journeying is to be a chameleon.

To journey and to be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim." -Mark Nepo

Welcome Back, Holiday Season!

A holiday decoration in Kaysersberg, France.
Photo taken in December 2011

It has been a long time since I have written a post.  I always hate to read other people's blogs who write that but sometimes hobbies just have to be put on hold.  I have needed some time just to live, to figure out life in America once again, and to settle down into a routine.  I have also needed some space from thinking about losing France.  I am thankful for my current situation but there are still moments that I miss living in Europe.  

This post isn't meant to be sad or heavy.  Rather, it is a re-entry into the beauty of Alsace.  It is Christmas time again!  Although I am not present in person, I am there in spirit.  I want to share the photos I have taken during past holiday seasons in France.  December is an extraordinarily spectacular month in a place that is gorgeous year round.  I am hoping to post something on my blog each day in December.  I know that the holiday season is busy but I hope that you will find a moment to stop by my blog and enjoy a bit of Alsatian Christmas.

    It's true, no one does Christmas better than all of Europe. Every year I dream about the little and bug Christmas markets of Germany, and think about the wonderful smells, perfect picturesque trees, twinkling lights, and mulled wine. It's been almost 20 years since I've experienced any of that, and I think about it every year. So I don't think it will ever go away for you, but it will always be in your heart. (P.S. I'll go back with you, anytime you want)

    Ops, I meant little and BIG! Not bug.
