Our happy little tree- having a small tree makes you feel like there's more presents. We had a traditional German Christmas Eve with all the trimmings.
Home-made Stollen- the German fruitcake
We had a crowd for our small apartment- but I still had to decorate the table- ask my mom, that is a Christmas tradition too.
The main event- Roulauden! Yum, yum, yum. It looks disgusting in this picture, but is the German Christmas highlight. Pickles, onions, bacon, mustard, salt & pepper wrapped in steak- baked and fried. I'll miss it until next year.

Rick and Lisa, where have you been?! I enjoyed seeing your posts from China -- you two are so awesome! Anyway, your Christmas looked beautiful. My mom used to make stollen for Christmas, but it didn't look anything like that! I'd love to get your recipe (because I don't like the stuff my mom makes, to be honest). Seriously, if you're willing to share it I'd love to have it. Congratulations on Lisa's graduation! What are you guys up to from here? More school? Are you leaving Utah anytime soon? Keep up the great blogging!
Well, I think you'd get an A on making the centerpiece low enough to ensure for good conversation and for table appearance. I'd have to wait to see how the food looked on the plate though. I'm sure you had lots of different colors, textures, and temperatures. :)
