This is Flip Flop Flying's Advent Calendar. It's a bunch of photos of Christmas in Berlin. 1st December Buckets of senf und ketchup at a bratwurst stand at Alexanderplatz's Christmas market. ![]() 2nd December The rather ropey cover of Brian Wilson's new Christmas album. ![]() 3rd December Aerosol snow and jammy doughnuts at a bakery on my street. ![]() 4th December Big gummi-ish snowman in the window of the hairdresser's across the road. ![]() 5th December A nearly frozen lake in Schöneberg. ![]() 6th December Mmmm. candy floss... ![]() 7th December Christmas fairground on Unter den Linden. ![]() 8th December Just in case you'd forgotten, a big shop in the centre of Berlin reminds you what it's all about. ![]() 9th December I really like this. It's huge plant pots filled with baubles outside the entrance to a fancy hotel. I can't remember the name, but Robbie Williams stayed there once. ![]() 10th December An, err, interesting drawing advertising a little place selling glühwein. ![]() 11th December This is the entrance to a restaurant which Billy and I walk past on the way to the park. ![]() 12th December The window display of a posh clothes shop. Nice amount of satsumas, I think. ![]() 13th December Seems like this building, Oderburger Strasse 13, has a very festive hausmeister. ![]() 14th December Even hardware stores are getting into the spirit. ![]() 15th December A fairy light version of Brandenburger Tor. Sehr schön. ![]() 16th December Festive toilet paper. The Winterduft (winter fragrance), by the way, smells horrible. It's kinda like a fake gingerbread-y smell. ![]() 17th December Christmassy cranes at Alexanderplatz. ![]() 18th December The window display of a second hand clothes shop on Pappelallee. ![]() 19th December A very festive balcony on Hagenauer Strasse. ![]() 20th December Ho ho ho! Big light-y Father Christmas. ![]() 21st December This looked better in real life. Lots of nice blue lights on the front of a hotel near a elevated train track. ![]() 22nd December Aaah, they always make a big effort on Friedrichstrasse. ![]() 23th December Nice big snowflakes at the KulturBrauerei. ![]() 24th December A market with a big tree in front of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche. ![]() Merry Christmas! |
