To get into the spirit, many of us gathered at Dr. Guenther's house this past Sunday (13. December) to sip Glühwein (don't worry--non alcoholic! :) ), nibble yummy cookies, cakes, and other finery, and sing a few carols in German and English. Here's a quick clip of our singing (Rebecca Arjev on guitar):
Our evening included reditions of "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen" (Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming), "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer", and "Kling, Glöckchen."
As everyone looks forward to celebrating the holidays either here in Europe or in the U.S., we wish everyone reading this a very Happy Christmas, Fröhliche Weihnachten, and a Happy New Year!
