we walked to the lutheran church with the kids, and we thought we must be very early, there were only 25 people there. i went up to look at the little manger scene in the front with felix, since i figured there was at least another half an hour, when all of a sudden the organ boomed out, and i jumped and ran to my seat, everyone laughed, and the service started. the guy speaking was very young, and his sermon was very strange, mostly about twitter and what "the word" means... and more than once he tried out this tongue twister: "an unworded word world"
the stollen was perfect, in fact, it was nearly gone by the end of the day. success. the kids had even started munching it on their way to church in the morning.
