13.12.2022 – von Ernst Anschütz, Collages by Mervi
Even people who don’t speak German know what a ‘Tannenbaum’ is thanks to the Christmas song by Ernst Anschütz. Why don’t we sing it together now that we’re waiting for Santa?
O tannenbaum, O tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O tannenbaum, O tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grunst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O tannenbaum, O tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O tannenbaum, O tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O tannenbaum, O tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O tannenbaum, O tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O tannembaum, O tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
This is the very first collage I made of Knut and Thomas Dörflein. Not a master piece but I love it because it brings back so many sweet memories from the happy old days.
Mervi Your Christmas collage of Polar Bears is always a joy. For me it is extra special because it is my birthday.
Do let us know who all the bears are?
Hello Ralph!
The polar bears are Knut, Sisu, Venus, Fiete, Yoghi, The Golden Girls and Borealis. I’m sure you can figure out who’s who. 🙂
If you wonder where the Yorkshire bears are – there will be a Christmas Special with them all.
Hugs from Mervi
Dear Mervi,
you have brought together many of our favorite bears in these collages with the beautiful Christmas carol – of course also again the unforgettable Dream Team Knut with Thomas Dörflein, the Golden Girls and all the other darlings.
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße!

Dear Mervi
I enjoyed singing together.
Of course, I always tried to guess who was who. I guess I didn’t manage to match all of them to their correct names.
Your collages are adorable.
Hugs,
Anita
Dear Mervi, thank you for having created again such an amount of lovely collages this time as accompanying demonstration for the text of the famous carol song or rather Sta.Clause song “OH TANNENBAUM” – and you have even revailed to us the name of the author of this song – at least I didn’t know it/him.

Please believe me, it’s not at all my to turn your text and/or your actions in ridicule but I simply had to laugh aout loud when I read the text between the fourth and fifth pic . . . ;-))) . . . Once more thanks for all your efforts but also for the laugh.

PS to RALPH:
I’ve sent you a hello in the Back Room the very day of your birthday.
Now, at this occasion of having read the first comment here, I repeat it:
“Happy Birthday, dear Mr. RALPH” 🙂
. . . it’s not at all my intention to . . .
