St. Nicholas Day
Happy St. Nicholas Day!Here is our Kathedral with this year's Christmas tree in early evening. We hear the bells every fifteen minutes day and night.
This is a view of our street, Marktgasse. Each of the main streets in Old Town have different shaped Christmas lights. Now, all we need is some snow.
I spent time today assembling burlap St. Nicholas goodie bags for neighbors and the office ladies. If you are good, you get candies, peanuts, chocolate santas, chocolate Swiss coins, clementines etc. If you are bad you get twigs.If he can't decide Samichlaus gives you chocolates packaged with twigs, I guess. Those are the long boxes on right and left in this Confiserie window. After all, nobody's perfect.

How fun! Your street is cool. And it is hard to imagine no snow there, isn't it like a law that Swiss folks have snow in winter?
Frost on the grass here, thank GOd that long hot summer finally left Houston.
Bernie and I are planning two weeks, time with you and visit Austria and Germany. More details once the college dates are settled.
