Christmastime for Alyx in Germany

Well, hello friends! Watch this video, and pretend that the words "springtime" and "Hitler" are replaced by "Christmastime" and "Alyx," and you'll be good to go.

So, that being said (and hopefully watched), I'm going to talk about the best holiday ever - Christmas. You know what?! I totally can, too... because there's no such thing as Thanksgiving here, so I'm not breaking any rules!

Christmas items started popping up in stores about a month ago, and I was totally okay with that, because it meant getting a few of my favorite things. One of those things is these cookies:

Good news for you: YOU CAN BUY THEM IN THE STATES!!!! Just try to find a grocery store called "ALDI." I know they have them in the midwest - not sure about the rest of the states. Even better news - you can buy real German chocolate and Haribo candies there, too! Here's a picture of my favorites:

So... that's just a little taste of what it's getting to be like out here - I can feel the pounds creeping on, and I'm OK with that! 

Happy Tuesday, everyone!!!
