If you've never seen a tree with real candles, you can't even believe how beautiful that was.
Oma! I saw one once in Fredericksburg as a kiddo. We went to Fredericksburg last weekend, the Gluewillan, the brogue accents, I love Christmas in the Hill Country.
My husband has an Oma. There is something so magical about her saying grace in German, can't understand a word she is saying but it sounds lovely.
