Christmas in Europe


The holidays are a truly unique and special time in many parts of Europe and we are excited to be headed to Prague and Dresden, Germany to celebrate Christmas. Yet, we've also taken in some smaller festivities here in Zurich including several Christmas markets. Here are a few photos from around the city including the market, the elaborately decorated Swarvoski tree, and the Bahnhofstrasse decorated for the holidays (one of the world's most famous, and expensive, shopping streets):

Perhaps one of the most celebrated traditions in Zurich every year is the singing Christmas tree. Various choirs from around the city take turns singing every day for a few hours - take a listen!

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year wherever you may be, may it be a safe and blessed holiday season! We know ours will truly be a special one to remember!
