0 Froehliche Weihnachten!

It's a bit early to start wishing everyone a "Froehliche Weihnachten", but it is essential to the planning that is currently taking place.

Please do not snow until after Christmas. That's all I ask.

Claire has always wanted to go to a proper Christmas Market. We have them in the UK but maybe a nice German square would be better than a faceless shopping arcade in London?

We'll see.

I am looking at the one on the Rhine at Rüdesheim.

I have made a pencil booking on a hotel on the river front with booking.com and that has the usual cancellation policy.

Rüdesheim

Booked the Carathotel Traube Rüdesheim in the end but still with the cancellation option.
