It &#8217;s the story of a very special moment with my granddaughter. Why is it my favorite? If you read it you will completely understand.
Happy New Year, once again!

		<description><![CDATA[As a child I lived in West Berlin for almost 4 years,  from 1952-1955. It was a very interesting and informative experience for me being in a different country and learning a new language and learning about different cultures and customs, among other things.
Christmas was a really big deal in Germany. Lots of fancy decorations [...]]]></description>
