Christmas Advent Day 5: You didn't think I could wait forever did you? Ahh yes... bring on the Glühwein baby.
If there is one thing that says European Christmas to me, it is Glühwein. Oh you spiced wine-y goodness you...I cannot help but shell out the CHF 4 at every market I go to just so that I can walk around to the rest of the little huts cupping my steamy, cinnamony, liquory goodness, staining my lips and gloves a crimson hue. Then again - maybe I am just a whino... hmmm...
You can barely walk 5 steps without running into a Glühwein hut at the Christmas markets. I particularly like those that have all kinds of other alcoholic delights like things laced with Baileys and fancy schnapps... then again, I am perfectly happy with me Glühwein so you can take your frothy, whipped cream concoctions and shove... sorry, this is Christmas, so drink whatever you like. Just drink responsibly or else I will send Schmutzli your way come next Christmas.
Button up and head out to the markets this weekend... only 20 more days until Christmas. ;)

I'm loving the Advent posts. At Sihl City they have a few little Christmas Market-type Huts out in the courtyard - and they have a Weiss Gluhwein that is mighty tasty. You should give it a try. Also, over at the Hotel zum Storchen on the Limatt, you can sit outside and wrap up in these big plushy blankets and enjoy their chef's version - which is first-rate. OK, I'm beginning to think I must be a wino, too.
Mmm. I love Glüwein. Collected a nice group of mugs from Germany. Who cares if you already have 10 Glüwein mugs. You can always use one more! Looking forward to drinking some more tomorrow with you!
I completely forgot about collecting the mugs in Germany. I wish they did that here in Switzerland too... I have read about some cities that have a mug but I have not seen any myself yet.
Looking forward to tomorrow too! Jace and I will be there!
