Werner Ulrich's Home Page: Picture of the Month
Now "Ulrich's Bimonthly"
December, 2003
It's a Wonderful World... White Christmas is no longer the rule in Bern, but it is something we still have a chance to enjoy every few years... why not this year? Bern's old town then yields a perfect Christmas setting. In any case, the year's ending, whether white or not, is a time for relaxing, for good spirits, for gratefulness, and for caring about friends and foes.

One of Louis Armstrong's songs, "What a Wonderful World," expresses this spirit of Christmas as beautifully as any Christmas carol does:
I see skies of blue... clouds of white
Bright blessed days... warm sacred nights
And I think to myself... what a wonderful
world!
...
I see friends shaking hands... sayin'... how do
you do
They're really sayin'... I love you.
I hear babies cry... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more... than I'll ever
know.
And I think to myself ... what a wonderful
world!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
to you!

White Christmas in Bern ... perhaps once again this year? |
