Among the presents for friends for Christmas I prepared  jars of "hot chocolate mix" all the details will soon be  on this screen) With a star shaped biscuit cutter I made decorations for the jars and for the xmas packets using gingerbread.

Thinking of snow falling down on the screen,I decided to add a musical background:

Enya  - Amid the falling snow

How I remember sleepless nights

When we would read by candlelight

And on the windowpane outside

A new world made of snow

A million feathers falling down

A million stars that touch the ground

So many secrets to be found

Amid the falling snow

(Chorus)

Maybe I am falling down

Tell me should I touch the ground

Maybe I won't make a sound

In the darkness all around

The silence of a winter's night

Brings memories I hold inside

Remembering a blue moonlight

Upon the fallen snow

(Chorus)

Maybe I am falling down

Tell me should I touch the ground

Maybe I won't make a sound

In the darkness all around

I close my window to the night

I leave the sky her tears of white

And all is lit by candlelight

Amid the falling snow

And all is lit by candlelight

Amid the falling snow
