O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
du verkörperst unsern Weinachtstraum!

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!

Yes folks! It is that time of the year when the Weekly Wrap Up falls on the 25th of the month . That means I get to remind you all that you have exactly 4 months to plan, buy and send me my Christmas Present  You all are the best  

Well along the same lines, have any of you started your Christmas Shopping yet (  <-- me glaring at you if you have)? Just kidding, I know there are people that are more prepared to me, so wondering whom. I have to admit that with online shopping that I really need to get my act together and consider what to buy and buy it now. Nothing like getting a sold out message. 

I usually buy myself a self Christmas present . Do you? If so, I want to hear what you are getting yourself, or what maybe you are hoping someone will give you. Greed might be one of the deadly sins, but who is counting .
