For the first time in more than 25 years, my wife and I decided that we would like to celebrate Christmas in Germany once again. We traveled with another couple and their two daughters and visited the home of his ancestors, Moeckmuehl, in Baden Wuerttemburg.

As we circled the walls of the *Altstadt,* we laughed to see that not one, but several, Santas were *invading* and trying to gain access through any opening in the wall that might serve.
