kaffee und kuchen {a tradition}

christmas cookies, third advent coffee

between lunch and dinner in germany, there is traditionally a short break for a social gathering with cake or a hot steaming cup of coffee or tea. it is a wonderful way to make time to see friends and family. this ritual, referred to as kaffee und kuchen, kaffeetrinken, or kaffeeklatsch, is one of my favorite german traditions- even more so during the holiday season, and one i will be sure to keep anywhere i go in the world.

    I also like this tradition and am looking forward to our Kaffee und Kuchen tomorrow!
    But I do hope you will stay my neighbour for a long time and donĀ“t have to take this tradition with you …
