In Germany there are reports of lots of children having cold symptoms - or worse, some virus that's going around. We had 3 kids with fever at home and I also managed to get sick for a few days. Fun. Other than that some people play soccer over in Quatar, but I've never been much interested in that sport so I couldn't tell you how the German team fared. The christmas markets opened last week, so we all have easy access to mulled wine, which is probably a good thing when the temperatures drop and Jesus probably would have wanted this, along with some Bratwurst.
