Christmas!
Since Thanksgiving doesn't get much publicity around here, the Swiss began decorating for Christmas in November. After looking at our calendar and seeing that almost every weekend was already booked -- Venice, Thanksgiving, Ward Christmas party, Swiss Christmas markets, German Christmas Markets -- we decided to use a lazy Saturday to drive into Geneva and check out this amazing 3 story toy store. After all, how can I start using the phrase, "You better be good or Santa won't bring you ___!", if my kids don't know what they would be losing.
The Franz Carl Weber toy store is a lot like FAO Swartz. The prices are outrageous...even for Switzerland. A few examples: 1. Fisher Price tractor and cow- $15 US/$46 here
2. LEGO Star Wars- $18 US/$52 here
3. Baby doll umbrella stroller- $7 US/$33 here
The kids had a good time looking around and making their wish lists. We have since learned that there is a Toys R Us in Lausanne with more reasonable prices and I think we'll probably end up there.
