German Christmas stuff

It's January now, but I still have a lot of Christmassy stuff to share. When I was in Germany, I bought quite a few Christmas items.

I got two of these smokers. You place a cone of incense inside and the smoke comes out their mouths.

These seem more Russian than German, but I couldn't resist this Christmas set of stacking dolls.

My favorite item of German craftsmanship is the Christmas pyramid. I already had a few.

But I brought home this pyramid. I can't find candles that quite fit this one.

I also got this teeny tiny one. It doesn't take candles.

    You can always use tea lights if you can't find candles to fit.

    I have the same tall German pyramid that you do!
    I've found that Hanukkah candles fit perfect and they can usually be found in local grocery stores.
    Love your look!
