Tie your hope for peace to
every tree and
wreath.
Wrap your gift of love and gently
place it
underneath.
Welcome estranged and strangers
to your door and to
our land;
let the gems of
Christmas be
your open heart and
hands.
Resolve that discord will not win
nor darkness steal
our mirth.
Let harmony and peace prevail
upon our Planet
Earth.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Chuck & Penny
Springerle (German
for “Little Jumper”) are cookies made from hand-carved wooden molds, dating
back to 16th century Bavaria.
Making them from replicas of the antique original molds is a thrill,
knowing this very image has been seen and enjoyed by generations.
