Christmas Day

Jfer and I managed to make it to church on time on Christmas Day. Dominik was playing piano accompanied by a cellist friend, so we didn't want to miss that. The music was OK, but you could tell they were both a little rusty. Dominik now only plays piano "if there's money involved" according to mom. During the mass, Fr. Manser made a plug for Spring, Summer, Winter and Spring (again) which supposedly is "one of the best movies, ever". If it makes to Austin, I'll try to see it.

After church we had lunch at my parents and they then took us for some sight seeing around Appenzell hills. We ended up visiting the church in Appenzell and the cathedral in St. Gallen to check out their nativity scenes. Pretty nifty (and relatively warm compared to the outside).
