One son and I had a day to DO SOMETHING, but on Mondays many things are closed: Landesmuseum and Kunsthaus in particular for us. So we wandered the streets, looked at the Christmas decorations, had lunch in an old restaurant in an old building in the old part of the city, and conversed. A relaxing afternoon. Then, back at the house, we practiced digital art, the initial results of which I posted yesterday.
The Christmas market stands are up.
These are by the Grossmünster.
Last year, these by the Fraumünster had a fence around them: admittance only for card-carriers. We are glad that nonsense is done.

In the big department stores by the Bahnhofstrasse (the main street), the best and finest and most expensive and exclusive wares were on display. I didn’t get a picture, but envision Dolce and Gabbana panettone for Fr/$50.
Note prices, roughly equivalent to dollars.
Then we saw these highly desirable wares….(sorry for the poor photo; I was laughing).
Blessed first week of Advent.
As you can see, this year I am not doing an Advent series. Much too much happening for that. But I will try to share some of the atmosphere of the season here.
One could read a chapter of Luke each day. 😍🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteI had just finished Luke, so was reading John. But yes, one could. SMB
