Highlights from our Christmas in Zurich 2001

For the third year in a row we celebrated Christmas at home in Zurich. This year Christina's mother Marta joined Cristina's sister Sofia in Sydney Australia, so the participation was heavily Andersson/Lagus loaded. The guests were made up by Hedvig (Harry's mother), Henry (Harry's brother), Markus (Harry's cousin) and his girlfriend Tanya. We had beautiful white and suitably cold Christmas, with lots of sunshine and starry nights. Below you can find some of the highlights from the festivities.
