Zack - schon ist der zweite Advent. Falls du noch nicht völlig in Weihnachtsstimmung bist, und eventuell die tolle CD, die ich dir im letzten Jahr zusammengestellt habe immer noch verschollen ist, bringt dir dein Elch heute eine weitere Sammlung von weihnachtlichen Liedern. Ich glaub er hat sie auf der Dropbox abgeladen

Searching for info about a new bean to cup coffee maker stumbled upon http://www.kaffee-espresso-trinken.de, which is a weblog about coffee. Since I didn't post any memes recently I thought I'd answer the questions of the blogs Christmas prize draw here:

• Does contemplativeness and coffee-to-go mix? Or would you rather drink coffee in the coffeehouse?
  For contemplativeness I'd rather enjoy a coffee at the coffeehouse - but since those seem to be so busy lately, I think the best way is to have a coffee at home, without any crowds.


• Do you grant yourself some special coffee for christmas (with flavour or gourmet coffee)?
  Visting *bux or McCafe I might get something flavoured. But at home I don't fancy flavor too much.


• Which coffee is your favorite (type/brand)?
  At the moment it is Grano de café. I'm not sure whether you can determine a roasting facility here. But you can get the coffee at Hofer in Austria - 3,29EUR for a whole Kilo of beans!

Do you have parents, who get themselves home entertainment products for christmas? I don't. Instead of buying a plasma TV or some Hi-fi equipment my parents got themselves a new strip of forest this year. So one of our family christmas activities was to have a walk through this forest.

The days till Christmas are numbered, to keep focused on counting an Advent calendar might help. Unluckily no one got me one as a present.. But there are a at least two Advent calendars available online to keep an eye on.
The first one is Feki.de's traditional calendar, where registered users can win a little present everyday.
The second calender, where I want you to keep an eye on is the calendar of Bamberg entfesselt!. Using the motto "24 Tage - 24 Türchen - 24 Texte" the users of BENF will provide a christmas related post every day.
