I don’t know why they don’t want me to look after the Christmas accoutrements (that’s tinsel and stuff for anyone else who doesn’t know French – I had to look it up – learning a new language is part of my New Year’s resolutions … I’m just not sure which one yet).
I helped Kaz take them down yesterday because the Christmas dinge (German: things) has to come down on 12th Night or bad things could happen.
Given that they didn’t want to put a real Tannenbaum up again this year because there was a chance I would try to hug it (or try to chew on the electric cable) like last year … or was that the year before? … they didn’t do too bad a job decorating with tinsel and the new me-friendly trees from Aldi. I am going to watch where they put the şeyler (Turkish) though because I might be able to get them out again while they’re not looking … or when they’re out and about. That would be fun. That would really work: Stardenburdenhardenbart indeed.
