Thanks for showing the Gl?hwein shot, Douglas. It reminds me that I 
promised my children some gl?gg (same thing, Scandinavian version) 
before they depart for the annual visit to Puerto Rico in a couple of 
weeks, and also it has me seriously considering driving over to Cologne 
this weekend for a look at the Christmas market.
