How to say "Merry Christmas" in French
Joyeux Noel
How to say "Merry Christmas" in German
Froehliche Weihnachten
When Queen Victoria went to Lucerne for a month in August 1868, she wrote to Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli that 'the Queen's health and nerves require a short interval of bracing mountain air and comparative quiet or she must break down completely and, if the public will not take her as she is, she must give all up, and give it up to the Prince of Wales'. Now, 140 years later, Lucerne is still a fine place in which to soothe the troubled spirit. It is not a very big town, having a population of 60,000; nor is it notable for its gaiety. But the sheer beauty of its setting - a magnificent, meandering lake surrounded by soft green hills and, beyond them, the snow-capped peaks of some of Switzerland's loveliest mountains - is hugely exhilarating. |
