“O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum”
My Grandmother always sang this song in German when she
was in the Christmas Spirit,
Which didn’t always have to be at Christmas.
So this time of year, I find myself humming this song
(Humming since I can’t carry a tune and don’t know the words,
especially Not in German.)
With this song in my head, our tannenbaum is decorated.

Your tree is so pretty! Love all the old ornaments. Your home is lovely...right out of a magazine!
ReplyDeleteWhen we were stationed in Miami, for the Christmas program in military housing for the kids they were all taught O Tannenbaum in German. It was really cool! That was 20 some years ago and mine still remeber parts of it.
Happy Holidays!

Hello Honey,
ReplyDeleteBeeing German I was attracted and touched to see the words "O Tannenbaum" under the picture of your Christmas tree on Sharon's blog.
How lovely to know that even in Texas this old song from the Leipzig Organist Ernst Anschuetz, 1824, is known!
Will send you the full text per email.
I love all your Christmas images, lovely 'oldfashion'!
Best wishes - Karin J. Périgord-South West France
P.S. Just about to create my own blog, still battling with it and therefor not widely published yet.
Hi Honey! Thanks for your nice comment, your tree is so great with all of those wooden ornaments! Seeing those and hearing about your grandma made me wonder if you have one of those wooden candle...??? the name for it slips my memory...my uncle used to live in Germany and brought back these little table top, handmade candle things- you'd light the candles and the wooden fan or paddles at the top would turn. They were all hand made- little wooden people or scenes at the base that would also turn with the motion of the paddles...ugh! I wish I could remember the name of those! Beautiful anyway. I saw a few at Home Goods a few weeks ago- VERY expensive even marked down there!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend!
Your home is gorgeous as is your decor, love all the tiny touches in your tree trimming decor. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree...the piano is amazing. My husband is a musician and would so love to play it. I enjoyed my visit and plan to return when I have more time to poke in the corners.
ReplyDeleteHoney,
ReplyDeleteGoodness!! What a gorgeous tree! LOVE that piano!!
Hugs,
