photo essay: christmas in switzerland & dublin

the-romantic-the-wino‘Tis the season, travelers! Ever since our own little pre-Christmas in Switzerland & Dublin, we’ve been full of holiday cheer.

Along with temporarily satisfying our wanderlust, our trip to Switzerland & Ireland got us SERIOUSLY in the holiday spirit.

So much so, that we almost… kind of feel like Christmas already happened?

As far as good tidings and cheer, we really found it all!

There were trees. They were bedecked and bejeweled and sitting askew. We even got some major Who-ville vibes from some!

There were ornaments. Red and gold and green and glimmering. And again… covered in snow! It just makes everything festive. Well, this white, fluffy stuff. Let us not dwell on snow of the sludge variety.

‘TIS CHRISTMAS AFTER ALL.

There was Santa. Little Santas, big Santas, but the wino was partial to, um, this Santa. Listen, we hadn’t even had a pint yet. We were just real damn cheerful.

CHRISTMAS!

There were snowy rooftops. Please see above re: SNOW!

There was a live nativity. Well, who doesn’t love fluffy adorable animals ready to celebrate Christmas? Not this ass, that’s for sure.

And there were more Christmas markets. Because… basically the reason for the season. Or at least our trip this season.

There were lights in the trees. And we were mildly obsessed and wanted to stand here for days but this photo doesn’t do it justice.

And there were birds in the trees, too. These were… a bit much. But still! Festive!

And, of course, we can’t forget the perfectly decorated pubs.

Really, it’s no wonder that we came back from our little journey to Christmas in Switzerland & Dublin feeling like the Ghosts of Christmas Past.

Happy Christmas Eve!
