| My present is bigger than me! |
It has been fun experiencing the holiday season here in Switzerland. There are lots of traditional parades in all the small villages, to welcome in St. Nicklaus, and of course Christmas Markets.

Beckenried Christmas Market

The bell ringers (each man walks and rings a big cowbell to a constant beat while they walk) are in white, that we think scare away the evil spirits, then St. Nicklaus (Sami Claus) walks in behind them.
|
We went to a few of the Christmas markets close to us, and hope to explore some new ones in surrounding towns and countries in the next few years.

We are looking forward to seeing family and friends in America in the next few weeks. We are also looking forward to celebrating Christmas in a few days, to celebrate the life of Jesus, the Savior of the World.

Merry Christmas!
