Besides from bring a wonderful bottle of cremant from the wine house Dopff Au Moulin, which according the French wine maker´s great comment was: "What to served together with Crement ? Another glass of Crement !", my friends from Horsens also gave me an "art installation" in form of a snow man in my little garden. Let´s see how look it will last ?
We started with a glass of this excellent Christmas Sparkling Cocktail. As tea I served three different Christmas tea including my own home-made Christmas Tea. Three very different taste interpretation of Christmas.

| Hannibal the Cat getting some fresh air |
During the night time we got a new layer of snow. Snow is NOT the favourite weather of Hannibal the Cat, so he spends a lot of time looking out of the window, or just laying on "his" door mate looking at this strange white cold stuff.
When I took the photo below of Hannibal, I noticed, that he was eating of the snow like small children.
