Winter in Europe is usually gray and drizzly. Happily, we've had a few dazzlingly blue sky days so far.
This is the quay directly in front
of our office. I never get tired of this beautiful view.
Here are some fun things to experience at Christmastime in Luzern.
Team Christmas lunch! We had a fabulous lunch at the Old Swiss House complete with giant Wiener Schnitzl made at our table. They are fried in a lump of butter the size of your head (not joking).
At our lunch we continued a new tradition with our 3rd annual Yankee Swap. While getting everyone to understand the concept of stealing other people's gifts took some time, the team is now fully fluent in the strategies. Including gag gifts like a fake mustache (or unibrow) and East German treats called Katzenzungen (Cat's tongues):
Christmas Market
It's very typical in Europe to have pretty Christmas Markets. In parts of Luzern's beautiful Old Town local artisans set up stalls selling their handcrafted goods for Christmas.
