GERMAN CHRISTMAS TRADITION FOOD & A HOME UPDATE

[@curlew-3592]

When I was a little girl my friend who lived next door was called Dagmar, she was from Germany. Every year her grandma used to send her these little black very salty sweets. I’m not sure if they weren’t in the shape of little cats. I used to love them😋 Anyway time rolls on and Dagmar and I lost touch many many years ago. I am now 66 and I still occasionally think of the excitement when I knew Dagmars grandma had sent her Christmas sweets all the way from Germany. 😁👍

Probably licorice

[@chrisbg5200]

I think you mean "katjes katzenkinder" (kitten kids). I Think they are not avaiable in the UK.

[@philipcollins2691]

Black Cats licorice - we have then here in Australia most seem to be made in the Netherlands so called Dutch licorice

Good evening you two smashing people, always look forward to and love your sharing with us. I'm really not sure how much you know how we all love to come and see you sharing your home with us and your delicious recipes. After watching I always feel so peaceful and relaxed, thank you so much. With all the chaos going on in the world right now joining you both in your home is a real blessing. Thank you. ❤️

When you live alone as I do you miss sharing simple domestic tasks with someone and it can get lonely sometimes Watching you two enjoy just being together and cooking or doing other jobs is so relaxing and you have a knack of making the watcher feel part of it all. So thank you both very much. Solstice Blessings to you both 🙏

So very lovely! From the magenbrot, the tea, and your paint & carpet choices! You are so descriptive, I can almost taste the biscuits and tea! ☺️ The Christmas tree in the kitchen is such a good choice, as we, like you, spend quite a lot of time in our kitchen. Also, can’t wait to see the finished attic room & landing. Your carpet & paint choices are perfect. Thank you for sharing with us!

The Magenbrot and glazing look wonderful, and so easy to make. My husband is first generation Hungarian. His father was a trained pastry chef. He even baked for the refuge camp residents . His mother’s family and just his father(no one knows what happened to his family) were all at Plattlingly. When they all got to the States they all lived together (14 people by the time Skee and his sister were born). Skee says there were long rolls of the Magenbrot all over the kitchen. Then Skee and his sister would take pieces to neighbors and teachers. I will print this out and Skee can have something he learned to make in the German refuge camp. Thank you for making this. So excited to taste something Skee and family had every Christmas. Love the tree. Perfect paint colors..Those stairs are designed just like Skee’s Aunts House built in 1901, Victorian house..

[@joannekempf3350]

I think the Christmas tree should be wherever you spend the most time so you can enjoy it! It’s so charming in the kitchen. And the attic room is going to be fabulous when it’s finished. It‘s a great space!

[@galemartin3277]

Btw...you are never boring. I could listen to you everyday! 🌷

[@sylviapage8572]

Your channel is never boring! I love to see your German bakes and it’s interesting to see that you used honey when we so often use golden syrup and treacle in our recipes. We have also built cupboards into our loft space but we have made ours very deep so we have tall hanging space at the front then deep shelving at the back. I use the shelving for my shoes and handbags because I only use them occasionally. I do have to get down onto my hands and knees to get to the shelves and we had to install lights so we can see what we’re looking for but there’s lots of very useful storage. I love the paint colours and the carpet and can’t wait to see the finished result. Thanks as always for sharing.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Sylvia! Your cupboards sound great, we need storage for big items (suitcases, ironing board etc.) as we don't have a cellar so it can be totally simple inside but should have nice doors lol.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

Oh, almost forgot! I LOVE that doorknob! It’s simply elegant!

[@lisaalane7694]

Sat down with a cup of tea, at the end of a long busy day, in my chair by the Round Oak stove and was thrilled to see there is a Kirsten and Joerg video. I've barely even started it and had to comment how happy I was.

[@judyconstantino9838]

I LOVED watching this video. The combination of cooking, German traditions and updates to your lovely home are so delightful to watch. I always chuckle when I see Joerg tasting sweets because he seems to love them so much! I was laughing out loud when he said the tea needed sugar. I look forward with anticipation to your next video. Stay safe and well.

[@katiemartell6520]

My friend and I went to Germany in 1982. We went to Frankfurt, Munich (Oktoberfest), Heidelberg, a short cruise from Mainz to Cologne. We went to 3 of King Ludwig of Bavaria’s castles, including Neuschwanstein. We also went to the Black Forest. Itdefinitely went to make Germany 🇩🇪 one of our favorite countries. My friend bought a cuckoo clock. I bought 3 beer steins, one to my Dad, one to my brother and one to a then boyfriend. My husband now has my Dad’s (deceased in 1987). Such wonderful memories. We also want to go to Austria. I have never been to Vienna, just to Salzburg. Just loved it. Sorry to be so long winded. Love your ornaments.

[@melanielester2106]

This looked delicious! So nice to get some baking ideas from other countries and to hear about other traditions. Your decorations look wonderful, you have a lovely home. Stay safe. X

[@sprueche8]

Baking is such an important part of the whole christmas feeling and I think each family has their own recipes. For me there is no christmas without Vanillekipferl. And this year selfmade Weihnachtsstollen, since my partner needs them in great amounts to stay happy through the season ... The color Jörg choosed is definitely the best. It looks warm and light and is not princess pastels ...

[@veesimmons2464]

I'm not at all bored with your vlog. Quite the opposite! I love the green that Joerg selected for the office.

[@susanbrown2909]

It’s a old English tradition to put the tree in the front room window or it was bad luck not too. Well,that’s what my old mum said..lol. But it’s not always practical to do so. Your stair banister looks so much better in white..and lovely a carpet. You have nice taste..thanks Kirsten joerg.

[@susanpaxson1786]

You two are so relaxing in these times. My great grandfather was born in Germany he came over on a boat with his sister all by himself!

[@janis6363]

The tree is in the perfect spot for you. No tradition except the one you make for yourselves. The carpeting will be beautiful. What do your table linens look like? This is so nice of you to invite me for Xmas decorating and baking. Makes me happy. Thank you both for your hospitality.💕😊

[@cindyhalpern3187]

Those biscuits are so much better than Gingerbread! I know there is a German word for cozy and home like. It describes the home you have together. You have a home that you do things together, cook and bake, decorate, work in, relax , and plan trips. What a beautiful life you and your husband share together. And the best part for me is that you share the sunshine you create and bring some light into my life!

[@EuroKitty33]

I too always wanted a Christmas tree in my kitchen and finally I have a countertop one that sits on the island and from the Island it reaches almost to the ceiling. I decorate it with small Christmas cookies, cookie cutters, vintage mini ornaments, candy canes etc. I try to keep to the kitchen/food theme and my grandchildren love it. Of course they try to snitch the gingerbread cookies off of it. Their favorite are the tiny mitten ones which i use icing on the muff part of the mitten with edible glitter. (They don't know I have some in reserve to fill in the spots where they pluck some when Grandma isn't looking :))

[@lisawhitney4788]

I enjoy watching your baking and home improvements. We have been tiling our kitchen backsplash over the last week and will be done soon. I do a lot of baking every Christmas and have a collection of cookie tins, some of which came from my grandmother. Good luck with the painting.

The two alcoves in attic officewould be great as triangular bookcases or display cases. You could do plexiglass or real glass hinged doors too, so not dusty areas. You could even put a small electric fish tank light within at top peak of each shelving area. If you wanted it more Victorian style for historical, you could put a small gingerbread cutout trim at peak of shelves. It would make a nice display for old leather books, antique pen holders, tiny brass compass, antique men's pocket watch etc. or eben sepia toned family ancestors photos. Just an idea...
