celebrate christmas anymore i explained to friends as i mentioned in a previous post it was too hard after vlad died it wasn t just that vlad loved christmas he loved it in such a particular way with carols the old fashioned ones mulled wine or cider tasty cookies and candy and decorations that bordered on the excessive white lights and colored lights and candles and tinsel gold and silver and ornaments of all shapes and sizes how could i ever recreate the experience why would i even try it would only remind me of everything that was gone the universe works in mysterious ways can we have an american christmas tree my german visitor asked i certainly wouldn t have predicted the arrival of a german visitor much less a 16 year old girl who loved loved l oved christmas and was ecstatic when we put up the wreath after we put up the wreath a tree was the logical next step so of course i agreed but what did she mean by american tree you guessed it white lights and colored lights and gold and silver tinsel lots and lots of ornaments and candles she was over the moon when we added the tinsel apparently they didn t use it at home despite the fact that tinsel is actually german it was invented in nuremberg in 1610 fun fact what americans call tinsel is properly speaking lametta and if that weren t enough both the candles and the candleholders that vlad and i used were imported from germany but it was still a very american tree the american tree in all her glory about those carols and the mulled cider and the tasty treats well her sister mother and grandmother paid us a visit from germany so a few nights before christmas we gathered around the tree sipped cider ate christmas cookies and sang carols in english and german my visitor s mother is a professional soprano and the whole family has excellent voices so you can imagine the joyous sound the culmination of the evening was the candle lighting with a brand new fire extinguisher and a bucket of water handy this month after i returned from abroad i carefully washed the tree stand and packed it and the ornaments away for next year this slideshow requires javascript 8 comments posted in culture history life new york
