These appeared in the last few years -- milk cans that have been turned into Christmas decorations. You can put candles or fairy lights in them. Most of these are modern milk cans, but for slightly more, you can get them made from vintage milk cans. One of my favorite type of decorations.

Many visitors only think of the Alps and lakes when planning walks/hikes in Switzerland. But the non-Alpine areas offer scenic walks as well -- the Jura, near Murten, Baselland, etc. This is one of my favorite walks...I get off the bus two stops before the final stop and then walk down into and through the village (Reigoldswil).

Just a reminder that not every window photo needs snow! A few years ago we spent the month of December and part of January in Paris. It was (and is) a great time to visit the city.

This neighborhood, located along the Rhine, is about a 10-minute walk from our apartment. It's one of the oldest and most scenic parts of Basel that many visitors don't see.

For the third Sunday in Advent. This is actually one of my favorite winter photos. There was a heavy wet snowfall and I could barely see to take a photo. I was using my old iPhone 4. The picture didn't come out like a photo at all, more like a drawing from the 1960s or 1970s.

Les Trois Rois was recently voted the best urban hotel in Switzerland. They offer traditional decor, excellent service and gourmet cuisine in both their brasserie and more formal restaurant. They also do a lovely afternoon holiday tea. Popular too… we had to make our reservation in August for tea in late December!

FWIW, the food was delicious and it's an extensive menu with several choices for starter, main course, etc each night. Not like some hotels where there is just a limited selection when you take the half (or full) board option.

Actually, restaurants serving fondue don't need to advertise, most are fully booked already for the entire month. Our team tried to get a fondue dinner reservation at several restaurants in Basel; we got lucky because one restaurant just happened to get a cancellation 5 minutes before we called. It's easier to get a prime parking spot at the King of Prussia mall the week-end before Christmas!

Moravian stars are everywhere in holiday decorations these days but in the past they were mostly displayed only by Moravians or people in Saxony (the stars are made in Herrnhut, Germany, near Dresden; Herrnhut is also where the Moravian Church has its global headquarters). Moravian stars can very in size from tiny one strung together as Christmas tree lights to absolutely huge ones in churches that have to be professionally installed.
