After a bit of a longer recuperation time than I was planning on having, I'm back up and about and feeling much more in the mood for Christmas. Remember how I said I was going to make a wreath months and months ago? Well, this weekend I finally finished it. I attached a few of the glass baubles I bought for my "tree" using bobby pins, added a few red berries and attached it to our apartment door. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
I've decided to not go all out on the decorating for Christmas this year. Matthias doesn't get back to Berlin until we head to Vienna for Christmas and the thought of hauling a tree through the snow and up five flights of stairs just for my enjoyment wasn't that appealing. Instead I've opted for this.
The red berries I picked up from the florist and are sitting in a vase filled with silver baubles. The birds are part of an ever-expanding collection of Christmas Tree decorations that I've slowly been adding to along the way. I did take a photo of the whole thing, but I totally fudged it so you'll just have to trust me that it looks good. And that's it! Well, as long as you don't include our statue of Nataraja who, in a spot of cross-cultural celebration, currently has our presents sitting under him.

I love your wreath! And the berries! They're such a pretty color! Jealous of your Christmas in Vienna....I've always wanted to visit Europe or New York at Christmastime.
Those berries are wonderful decoration - I should try that, they are really lovely!
What a perfect alternative to a christmas tree.
looks pretty, nice and festive
the wreath is so pretty! well done!
gorgeous, i love the simplicity.
i didn't bother with a tree this year since it would only have been up for a few days and i felt a little unmotivated.
next year i plan to go all out and get into the spirit of things.
glad to hear you've recovered. the weather here is ridiculous, it's actually cold! it was even snowing in some parts of NSW!!
beautiful decorations... i agree on the tree issue and your alternative is beautiful!
