"Guten Tag! I am "Chimney Sweep"!" ... Yes, he certainly was!! I was a little confused about why he had come (I hadn't called him), but apparently, it is German law to have your chimney cleaned - so, I'm assuming my landlord set it up ... The funny thing was, when he came in and came up the stairs to get to the attic - he couldn't reach the chain to pull the attic door down! He couldn't really jump, because they carry this chain thingy with an iron ball on it - so, I had to open the attic for him.
I guess it was time to get the chimney all cleaned out for Santa ...

Getting Ready for Santa!
So, the doorbell rings the other day, while I'm at home being busy ... I open the door to find a man dressed almost exactly like the picture below! (only my guy has a full beard, his jacket is double breasted with two rows of buttons, and he is a little shorter)
