In Basel for Christmas

It's December now and the first snow of the season is on the ground. A lovely snow is falling now. The kids are out of school and we're getting ready for Christmas. Nancy has sent out our Christmas cards all over the world. We bought The Tree from a local farm and it is up and decorated now. Tara is feverishly cutting out paper chains, snowflakes, and all manner of decorations to cover her room in Christmas spirit. We've been to the Basel Christmas markets in Barfusserplatz and Munsterplatz. It's a wonderful way to celebrate

Switzerland is a beautiful country and is successfully stretching us out of our comfort zones. But for this holiday season we are not planning too many big trips or challenging objectives. Just enjoying the sights, sounds, smells (and a little stress) of the holidays. Well maybe we'll take a quick trip to Paris...

Here's some nice music:

Now we need to pick up a couple of gifts...
