Paris: December

I like it! The weather is quite nice - not too cold or rainy, just a chilly enough to break out the scarves and knit sweaters. It has snowed once for a total of 3 minutes 37 seconds and none of the snow stuck. It was less busy the first part of the month, with some tourists moving in for Christmas and New Years.  

On Christmas Eve, I went to the Nutcracker at the Opera Bastille. First ballet for me and I was impressed. My favourite part was the "Pas de Deux", which was borderline life-changing (not my video):

After the ballet, I went over to Notre-Dame Cathedral for midnight mass. There was a choir and the organ was going and everything - very powerful.

Take a look at some of my photos from December (click to embiggen and for captions):

Soon, we will be off to Germany and Austria on a short trip!
