But we did manage to get one of our 4 trees up: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150408655019998.362349.744599997&type=1&l=ff037f9a75" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/media/...037f9a75</a>

Originally Posted By dagobert My weekend started already yesterday. We went to the so called Winterfest, where different circus groups did their shows. We decided to watch the "7 Fingers" (<a href="http://7doigts.com/en/shows/5-la-vie" target="_blank">http://7doigts.com/en/shows/5-la-vie</a>) from Canada. It was a fantastic show with great acrobatics. One act included a short appearance of a naked man and after what's happened with the Super Bowl a few years ago and due to my own experiences in the US, I doubt that this show would be shown there. At least children of the age of 12 would not be allowed. However it was Today will be boring, but tomorrow we will go to the Christmas Market and visit Fortress Hohensalzburg. Sunday is soccer day and I'm watching a game with my brother and some friends in the stadium. I hope it will not be too cold. Mulled Wine or a beer will warm us up.
Originally Posted By dagobert I just read, that the 7 Fingers have already been to the US. Now I'm interested what rating it got. I'm asking, because when I've been to the US I had a discussion with some friends about nudity in the US. I found it amazing that it was no problem for people that very violent movies like SAW were shown on Sunday afternoons on TV, but the Super Bowl with Janet Jackson had such an impact. Here it's the other way round. Very violent movies are not shown before 10pm. Sorry for being off topic!!

Sometime this weekend we'll drive to our neighboring county to a couple of shops to pick up last minute gifts and buy my "beloved" Boudin Christmas Tree bread

At one point we went into Build a Bear and then, while the two males (in their twenties) were looking in the other direction, the three of us girls snuck out of the shop, leaving the two of them sitting there. They weren't very happy with us when they realised we were no longer in there! Tomorrow will hopefully be a quiet day before a busy week.
