My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;

Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe,

My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

2:

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birthplace of Valour, the country of Worth;

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands forever I'll love.

.....

by Robert Burns, Scotland - 1789

Es treibt der Wind im Winterwalde
Die Flockenheerde wie ein Hirt,
Und manche Tanne ahnt, wie balde
Sie fromm und lichterheilig wird;
 Und lauscht hinaus.
Den weissen Wegen
Streckt sie die Zweige hin – bereit,
Und wehrt dem Wind und wächst entgegen
Der einen Nacht der Herrlichkeit.


 Rainer Maria Rilke, Schmargendorf, im Dezember 1897.

I wrote a letter to Santa and told him 
to bring you everything you wanted for Christmas, 
so hopefully he will answer and make all your dreams come true.

The glory and beauty of this wonderful season 
is something we all can share together. 
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 
and a prosperous New Year.

Cordially yours,

Isabella
