Epiphany

We celebrated Epiphany today. Some might wonder what this means....in Western Switzerland it means you eat gâteau des Rois. It has a trinket inside and whoever's piece has the trinket becomes king for the year. I am now King Patrick.


It is also the day that you can take your Christmas tree to a party at the train station and have it recycled. I took our tree there and it is a fairly small party. This is one man putting Christmas trees in a wood chipper and about a dozen people drinking warm wine.
