Family and Friends -- old and new,
Relaxing Dogs and a Cat's mew,
Candles & Flowers add to the decor
Snacks & Sweets line the table galore,
To all who've accompanied me on this journey
I celebrate with today and say "Merci"!

It's Christmas morning and there's nothing that gets one in the mood for Christmas, than a walk on Engelweg through Tannwald in our idyllic mountain village. From November end to January end, the hiking trail through Tannwald (literally: Pine forest) turns into Engelweg (Angeltrail). 24 life-size angels accompany you on the 40-minute circular route to Marienhöhe. A poem alongside each of the angels invites you to think, smile or enjoy.
This Christmas, there's hardly any snow, so for me the magic is a bit subdued. Nevertheless, it's Christmas and i still believe in these magical beings - not just Angels, but Elves and Dwarfes and Gnomes -- the mystical inhabitants of the Forest.
Small benches to linger and a view of Lake Uri or the Seelisberg "Seeli" make the walk special and I arrive home all refreshed in body, mind and spirit and we enjoy Colourful Christmas Pasta for Lunch!

There's a vibe of magic in the air - can you feel it too??
Snowflakes, Mistletoe, Pine scent and Candle light,
Raclette, Wine and home baked cookies to bite,
A holly-jolly Christmas to you all too!!

To honor the West --
The Star hangs not just on the corner,
but as a cake is a table adorner,
Seasoned with raisins, nuts and spices,
Baked with love and relished in slices!
To honor the East --
Our steamed Idlis are not round, but rather square,
Sambhar and Tomato Chutney are Spicy and Tangy
Coconut Chutney provides the cooling fare,
And to our delight
The guests enjoy every bite
