Crossford

Hello!
My name is Yana, and I live near the Bavarian town of Coburg. We host one of the loveliest Christmas markets here: https://www.coburger-weihnachtsland.de.
I grow aromatic herbs for tea in my garden and write stories for children. My two beloved dogs, Benjamin the golden retriever, Pushkin the white Chihuahua, and 30 unnamed goldfish share my home.
I love to travel, observe people and nature, which helps me craft fairy tales. I have a large collection of handmade and factory-made Christmas tree decorations that I have been collecting for many years. I used to dream of opening a museum to show to people and tell different stories. But now I think that I will just make a cozy space with Christmas tree decorations in one part of my house and will conduct several excursions in it before Christmas for those who wish.

I enjoy postcards with illustrations from children's books, bookstores, books, and cozy cafes. I adore Tove Jansson and her magical Moomins, original animations, beautiful Christmas cards, and animals.
If you can share with me your family's Christmas celebration story, I would be delighted.

I would really like to receive a postcards from Mari Lwyd, Krampus. )
I love learning about new dishes, some special products from different places.

And if you share a story about your favorite childhood toy or someone or a book that changed your life, please do! I am genuinely interested.
