Port Orange FL Realtor German Family Heritage Celebrates Christmas
December 11th, 2007 Categories: Holidays, Port Orange Real Estate
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and every year it brings to memory the German family influence on my childhood!
Marty and I just returned from a 4 day Royal Carribean cruise to Key West and Coco Cay. The cruise was a Christmas gift to each other. I am standing beside a beautiful Christmas tree on the Enchantment of The Seas cruise ship!
In addition, below I added the lyrics to my one of my favorite German Christmas songs, O Tannenbaum.This is the best known version by a Leipzig organist named Ernst Anschütz. The melody is an old German folk tune.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur
zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Dein Kleid will mich
was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Trost und Kraft
zu jeder Zeit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Das soll dein Kleid
mich lehren.

Janis, Glad you got to get away with your family for a little while. I love Christmas too and loved this article. Have a great birthday tomorrow:-) I’m spending time with our family that’s visiting too and hoping to be able to share some photos soon! – Cyndee Haydon
Look forward to your pics Cyndee!Have a great time in Clearwater Beach FL with your family.
Janis – I don’t understand a word of the song -I do understand the relaxation of a short vacation. As realtors, it seems we can only do the short version sometimes.
My favorite Christmas song is “Mary’s Boy Child”, the original Calypso version and my favorite Christmas thing is spending time with my family.
Maerry Christmas from Indy to Port Orange!
Janis- I’m so impressed that you managed to get away- at this time of the year, that is the mark of a true professional with management skills!
