Zipfelmuetzen-Bommelscarf
A funny long stocking cap with a pompom for young and old. You can use it also like a scarf.
ADVENT
(Loriot / Vicco von Bulow)
Es blaut die Nacht. Die Sternlein blinken. Schneeflocklein leise niedersinken. Auf Edeltannleins grunem Wipfel hauft sich ein kleiner weiBer Zipfel. I'm really not a poet neither German nor English, but I have decided to try a translation of the famous “contemplative" Christmas poem by Loriot. So hopefully it worked out.
