I just love the Singing Christmas Tree at Werdmühleplatz!! (Nov 21 to Dec 23)
I always pop in there in the evenings when I'm around Bahnhofstrasse. The children's chorus singing holiday songs is so beautiful I find myself walking towards them almost without noticing. There's a program each day of children's choruses from different cantons of Switzerland as well as children's choruses from other European countries. Some songs are very happy and cheery, while others are hauntingly beautiful. As Christmas time always signifies the end of anther year, listening to them sing makes me feel very nostalgic of the years gone by. I stand in the crowd and listen and sometimes forget about the cold completely.
And when they're finished, I warm up with a nice steaming cup of Glühwein at the Werdmühleplatz Christmas Market :) read more
