Seasons Greetings!
Christmas Market

No matter if you prepare yourself for Christmas, Hanukkah or for another holiday - the gift giving season is approaching fast. Consider shipping times from us to you or from you to family members and friends, and you will be shopping very soon.
Our family with our German tradition and heritage when it comes to Christmas, has the beautiful old fashioned European Christmas Markets with its hundreds of shacks and the clouds of mulled red wine and honey wax candle scents in our minds.
The myriads of scents and the atmosphere of gathering with friends cannot be communicated in a letter or in our web site. So, I'll try to do my best to give you some inspiration and gift ideas below. Find many more in our stores (look for the signs "Santa recommended") or in our web site (follow the Poinsettia).

Enjoy the Season, your family and a couple of peaceful days!
Cheers! Inge, Jurgen and staff
