It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We'll be having Christmas in Basel this year, and I think it should be nice. Now that the weather has gotten cold, the old town is in the midst of being transformed for Christmas (or Weihnacht)--booths for the market are being constructed, lights are being hung, Christmas trees are being set up, etc. Before long we hope to be drinking glühwein (warm mulled red wine) at the Weihnachtsmarkt...
