    The holidays in Germany must feel so cozy and special! Even more when you're able to be with your parents. I bet buying Christmas items with your Mom and Dad is extra special -especially when it's filmed for preservation! Years from now you can look back at the video and see exactly when and where you were when it was picked up!

    I started loving Villeroy & Boch 16 years ago when I purchased a Christmas Trinket box collection…..and then a set for my Mum. Since then I have the most gorgeous pieces of Christmas Cookie jars, platters, cake stands & decorations which give me so much joy at Christmas. I don’t like packing them up in January in their beautiful red boxes but looking forward to getting them out this year in about another week here in Australia. Thank you so much for the lovely tour in Germany it was very much enjoyed. 🎄🎄

    Dear Kirsten, Thank you for another delightful video. This one was extra-special because your lovely parents were with you. They are so sweet, God bless them, and they are obviously very close with you, which is lovely to see. Also, I was so impressed with all the pretty Christmas tableware, thete were so many pretty things I would love to buy, the very small dishes for biscuits and sweets were beautiful. The flower arrangements, especially the Christmas wreath, were beautiful. We have a similar tradition in Ireland. November 1st is All Souls Day or All Saints Day, when it is traditional to visit the graves of deceased loved ones, to tidy up the grave and leave flowers there. Kindest Regards to your lovely Mom and Dad, and to your good self and Joerg.

    I have adored Villeroy and Boch since I first saw their tableware on a popular Italian cooking show here in Canada in the '80's. Beautiful pieces! Very special. How lovely that you got to spend time with your parents and do a bit of shopping. Treasure these times, Kirsten, as I know you do...I so miss shopping with my Mum. She would insist on buying whatever I picked much to my refusal! We would always stop somewhere for tea and a cake or a bowl of soup, and by the end of the day we would be exhausted but very pleased with our little finds! Shopping with my Dad was another story altogether! He would never pay for anything that wasn't on sale, and would get quite cross with Mum and I for loving and wanting to buy something that was perhaps a wee bit expensive....lol
