During the first week of December, all members of Sport Union gather for a cozy evening of drinking, nibbling, gossiping and laughing together - before the Winterbreak. "Chlaishock" literally means sitting together for Christmas. Chlais =short form of Samichlais (aka SantaClaus) and Hock = Squat.

Since we're a sporty group, one has to earn the nibbles and drinks. After a decent 3km walk, we're invited for a fine Apéro with Glühwein in a Farmer's old Barn heartfully decorated in the Christmas spirit. 

Continuing further down to the lake, we let our hearts beat to the rhythmic clang of hundreds of Cow-bells carried by the Beckenried Trichler. The evening ends on a high note with some delicious cakes and creamy desserts 

Too bad, gotta drive back home some 25 kilometres...
